Shark Marines!

This post is chum full of pictury goodness!  Bring on the Shark Marines.  Here is the background that I was provided going into this commission.  Not much to say here so I'll let the pictures do the talking so to speak. Enjoy!

Shark Marines

A fleet-based Chapter, a third founding chapter, malformed progeny from the ranks of Space Sharks (Carcharodons)

Banished from the ranks of Space Sharks to a life of exile, Shark Marines patrol the outer edges of the galaxy far from Imperial support. Still loyal to the Emperor, they use highly questionable and unorthodox methods in their crusade to carry out His will. Knowledge of the Shark Marines has been banished from all but the most secret Imperial records.

After the Badab War, in which the Space Sharks played a pivotal role and began to emerge to prominence as a Chapter, a number of Space Sharks began to display signs of their Chapter's secret curse: The Sharkness. Their skin became tough, rubbery and grey. Their teeth became jagged. Their eyes became pools of black hatred. Their sense of smell increased thousand-fold, scenting their targets from miles away. Rumor has is it that they can survive the deep pressures underwater, and some veterans it was whispered did not even need to use a rebreather.

The Chapter is on the verge of extinction. Unable to replenish supplies and take quotas from Imperial forces, the Shark Marines slowly grind toward oblivion.

Here are the pictures, enjoy!

 I ended up having more fun doing the shark logo than I had anticipated.  I orginally was only going to do it on the drop pod and Rhinos, but added it to the shoulders for the terminators as well.
