Jud's Heresy Era Forces of Ultramar


Recommended Posts

Cheers man, got 2 more on the painting tray I'll post pics when they're done.

Gearing up to paint the primarch, any one know of a good tutorial for painting marble?

 

I sent mine off to get done by a very talented professional.

If you'd like I can share his details?

 

Yes, I know some people frown on this, but despite being a decent painter I didn't feel I could do justice to a model I had waited almost 20 years for!

2 more and I'll have 30 done, I'll post a group shot when they're done.

Is that enough tacticals? I want to fill out the rest of the force with Ultramarines 

specific infantry and a load of tanks. So is that balanced?

OK, I've finished my 3rd tactical squad, this is the first unit

I've used the FW Praetorian armour upgrade kit, it really is

a joy to work with. The quality is high and it looks great 

especially with the MKIV legs.

I think that's all the tacticals for now, time to start practicing marble effects!

Cor, looking lovely! This really shows the strength of a good painter using a nice tight palette. The gold effects are lovely ,and I like that you've varied the placement to prevent things looking too samey. 

 

Regarding marble, I'm currently in the process of writing a tutorial which might be of use. At the moment, just the theory part is up (here), but I'll be adding the practical part in a few days. Don't know if that's any help? In the meantime, there's a nice simple tutorial for white marble on the First Expedition here.

Cheers SalvationOfReason I'll post the wip pics to see if I nailed it or not.

Apologist, many thanks your theoretical was sound, it's really helped with

the inspiration and has given me lots of ideas, looking forward to the 

practical, again thanks for the help.

Thanks very much! I'm really pleased with the force as a whole.

I'm thinking mechanizing the army is the way forward.

I'll get my grubby paws on Guilliman in a week!

Throw him and some Suzerain in a Landraider, job done!

What do people think, are 3 squads of tacticals in rhinos a good build?

The nature of the game seems to reward a more mobile approach.

Thoughts please.

I've been starved of painting time of late, so when the chance came up today

I jumped at the chance to get my Guilliman finished. 

It's an incredible sculpt and I really enjoyed painting it.

I think this is probably the best paint job I've done for the Ultramarines.

Here's the pics:

I just have to raid my bitz box now and see what's up next!

Tacs in Rhinos is definitely the way to go for Heresy Ultras. The Rhino can fire on q target, then the disembarked Marines will benefit from the interlocking fire rule.

I'm also running Suzerains with Guilliman in a Landraider - it's a strong assault unit that's also impressive in defence.

 

Add a Sicaran or two, or a Deredeo. With the Primarch in a list it's best to run multiples of the same unit, eg: multiple Sicarans with Tank Hunters.

Your Guilliman does look really good btw :-D

You not going to put him on a base?

Guilliman looks great!

This thread gives me the motivation to start painting again smile.png

How the fug did you achieve that marble?!?

I got the inspiration from the Apologist's link and went from there.

First up I drew on a lightning pattern, then sponged on a light grey then painted

progressively darker lines, then gave the whole base a coat of gloss varnish.

Man your force is looking really great. I'm impressed you've completed so many! :-)

I've wanted to build an Ultramarines 30k force for a long time so I'm enjoying this project immensely!

That's the impression I got, I'll be running tac squads in rhino with Guilliman and the Suzerain in a land raider.

Then fill out my Heavy supports with a pair Sicarans, not sure whether to throw in a Venator or not.

For bigger games I'll use my Death Korps of Krieg as Militia.

Next up will be the new sergeant for my Locutarus squad, the previous serg has been promoted to praetor!
