The final member of the squad is a kneeling melta gun toting battle brother. For this marine, I've gone slightly further with the dust and mud on the greaves than some of the previous entries in this series. I think it has paid off since it really starts to show a marine who has been adopting this shooting position regularly on the sands of some forgotten place (maybe the Dropsite Massacre at Isstvan - and yet, I know in the canon it is meant to be black sand, but artistic liberty takes precedent here).
Very happy with how this marine turned out, including the heat flare on the tip of the melta gun - this looks a lot more natural than some of the previous efforts. The eye lenses are also right here with the red as the base colour, orange for accent, and a slight dot of white in the corner. Highlighting has also worked well along the edges of the white panels (e.g., the hand) and the overall effect is very sound.
