Still a very appealing piece of kit, and very well painted in Wolf's Dragoons Zeta colours.

Got to admit I wished the new Marauder II looked more like the new Marauder, but (unlike the Unseen one) at least the new Mad II is sized properly.

* The Hellbringer is cool, either way. It's not cool because it's bad, it's cool because it's bad with balls - Nightsky

Agreed.  I guess I forgot that this was how the old Marauder II looked, as it took me a second to recognize the 25 ton fins on the side of the model!

Very nicely painted!  You did a great job highlighting the black!

Beautiful rendition of the best Marauder II.

I was sorely disappointed with the latest iteration; no chance of that being based on or mistaken for the original under any circumstances.
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.
     
A.E. Housman

Beautifully done.  Solid highlighting.  The base looks great too.
