Hi I’m Casual Heresy, and I’m a hobby butterfly. And that’s okay. Afternoon all. A combination of the forum upgrades and downtime from catching Nurgle’s blessing (covid) for the first time means I’m finally going to start the WiP log I’ve always meant to start. I love space marines of all types so always have multiple projects on the go. Currently, I’m focussing on Black Templar reinforcements for the August Throne of Skulls at Warhammer Workd with heresy era ultramarines in the background. But various other armies and one off projects will pop up over time. Currently I’m about to finish the first of two Redemptors for my Templars, and a Contemptor I finished yesterday is waiting on tufts. After that there is only Grimaldus and his boy band, a Primaris Techmarine and Castellan to go.

Was wondering if anyone has more info on the newly announced Ultramar Shield Chapters mentioned in one of the 500 Worlds articles on WarCom. I recognise most of them, but there are three I’m not familiar with (The Reborn, Praetors of Ultramar, and Aquiloan Brotherhood). Are they new or have I missed them in the lore?

Having been barely keeping up with the hobby for several years, Indomitus reignited my passion for 40k last year, so I decided to try to actually build a force. This time it will be Primaris space marines, but still my beloved 3rd Company of the Ultramarines. The plan is to build the complete company, including officers and attached specialists and a dreadnought, plus a ten-man Deathwatch kill team, and such a project needs a fresh thread, so here I am. In terms of bulding the company, I will be dividing it into combat squads, to avoid becoming overwhelmed or bored, and alternate those with Deathwatchers and officers, so that it will go Combat Squad > Deathwatch > Combat Squad > Officer > Combat Squad > Deathwatch... and so on. This should offer a decent balance between progress and sameness of models. I started an Intercessor veteran sergeant (the 30th anniversary model) as a one-off before I decided to make a full army, so I decided to finish him before doing the rest of the combat squad. If you visit the Ultramarines subforum, you may have seen him, but here he is again with one of the Necrons the 3rd is fighting: The Necron is really just a color scheme test model, not the start of an army, any time soon at least. The rest of Combat Squad Ardias is in progress, with their bodies only needing cleanup: The bolt rifle arms are coming along too, I just need to highlight the black and tidy up everything before gluing them on. Then it's just the other arms, backpacks and heads and then finishing touches. Of course, an Intercessor squad isn't the end of it. I have plenty of plans for all the squads and in particular the command cadre. I don't feel like typing out all the minute details of my plan that I've spent the last nine months overthinking, so for now I will just finish off with something black for now:- 53 replies

I'm still getting character happy, but they're usually small characters with Leadder/Force Multiplication buffs: Roboute Guilliman Hanging out with Phobos Libby + 10 Infiltrators (for Super Stealth and 3ish freebie CP per game (Guilliman can freebie Repeat one Strat per turn, 5 battle rounds is 10 turns, 10 rolls for a 5+ Marneus Calgar hanging out with a BGV Lieutenant and 6 BGV - probably on the opposite side of G (all total gives me an estimated average income of 2.6ish CP per turn) Uriel Ventris (may not stay Uriel, and go generic walkers) hanging with some (10) Intercessors sticky capping after they deep strike behind whichever Epic Hero Group starts clearing objectives first. Sergeant Telion hanging with 10 Scout Snipers with a potentially precision Krak Missile Launcher. 10 Heavy Intercessors holding objectives themselves. 6 Eradicators that are potentially just a place holder for something I like better. Still over 50 models plus characters. The Erads are kinda Meh on tank hunting, and that's one of my weaknesses with only Guilliman having anything over S9 That could turn into a couple Gladiators or Devs in Pods or something quick.

A WIP shot of my banner bearer mini using parts from the B@C sprue as well as some spare Forgeworld parts and the Venerable Dreadnought banner. I'm looking forward to painting this guy up and I've already got a design sorted for the banner that will hopefully represent the Red Marked, Imperium Secundus and the XIII Legion. -

A detail shot of the nuncio vox that Envelio carries. As Envelio is often described as changing vox channels, it made sense to me to have him equipped with the vox backpack. The fun part to paint was the vocal monitor on the rear of the pack. I also added a set of binoculars from the Scout Snipers boxset, as I can imagine Envelio calling in artillery strikes. -

A shot showing Envelios' tactical markings. As there is no mention of any of the Red Marked's previous squad or companies designations (with the exception of Thiel), this allows me free reign in assigning them whatever company numbers I can think of. -

"At least those b*****ds are dead." A stern and uncompromising individual, Envelio was Thiel's vox specialist and was often at odds with the intrepid warriors decisions during the early days of the purging of the 500 worlds. Though often dour in the face of uncertainty, Envelio proved himself to be adaptable and resolute in the face of ever-changing situations. I wanted Envelio to look as though he was listening to some transmission over the vox, so I took the bracing missile launcher arm, removed the scope and repositioned the arm so that his hand was holding the receiver of his helmet. I also envisioned Envelio being a Calth veteran, having his blade in a position that would enable him to draw it easily. -

As Thiel is essentially the leader of the Red Marked, I wanted to mark him out further from the rest of the minis that I had made so far. So I magnetized his neck and made an alternate bare head. Part of this was also so I could have a visual representation of him being on his last wound ingame. -

A shot of Thiel's backpack and legs. The bacpack is from the Sternguard boxset with the boltshell clipped off, while the legs are MKIII legs from forgeworld. -

"Now we fight. For Primarch and Emperor. For the lost sons of Calth and for those yet to be born on Macragge. This is your hour brothers. Banish shame, banish doubt, banish anger. Show these traitors what it is to be an Ultramarine!" The intrepid leader of the Red Marked, Thiel was instrumental not only in the cleansing of the 500 worlds but in the opening hours of the Battle of Calth and several engagements of the Underworld War. His tactical approach to warfare inspired his Primarch, Roboute Guilleman to rewrite the operational tenets of the legions into the chapters which would hold the Imperium together not only through the rest of the Horus Heresy but centuries after its conclusion. This is the mini I really wanted to get right, and I'm glad I put the extra effort into making him. I based the minis design elements on the cover art for Censure and utilized alot an assortment of bits. I wanted Thiel to be striding forth with the sword "given" to him by his Primarch whilst still having the equipment expected of a sergeant of the XIII legion. -

aciu's chest detail. The fact that there were already sculpted Ultramarine details on the Chronus body was a big factor in me using it for this project. The reinforced knees and groin plate also made sense for using it for Bracius. -
