Finished off this squad. First time using an airbrush for the armour (result is ok but could have been done better) and first time trying weathering/damage (very easy and looks pretty good, shame the photo doesn't really show any of it!). Airbrush made this a much quicker process to get the models done, but you can see the difference next to the ones I've taken more time over, these have less shading and less contrast between light and dark areas.
To get models on the table without spending weeks painting power armour is quite nice though.
Tried out some different approaches to the skin, mixing up different base colours to try to get a range of skin tones and diversify 40k one marine at a time. Captain (dark browny plum base colour) looks ok, sunburned-looking dude off his shoulder actually looks ok too (reddish-plum coloured base), blurry marine at the back is middle-of-the-road white guy paint job and chap on the left is by far the worst.
