metcalfedan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hey guys, as you may have noticed, christmas is looming and I've decided to give someone a gift (can't say who though) He's an Ultramarine Captain and here he is: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0153.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0154.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0155.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0156.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0157.jpg I'll be painting him in my signature metallic scheme but I'm unsure as to what company to do him. Any tips? Note: The shield on the front is there because a big chunk was missing and it hides it perfectly. C&C needed.

Shortsonfire79 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Great idea! I'm going to be doing the same thing for one of my friends, but a home grown chapter. You're a great friend =-D ..Okay, I said it, can I have one too =-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153232-ultramarine-captain/#findComment-1785876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Like all your models this 1 is fantastic to again. Most ppl got 2nd Company so i think you can do it from that chapter.

Warforger Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Meh I think you should give him better wargear. But its looking to be a total success so far.

Captain Mick Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I dont think extra gear is a good idea else u make him to expensive in points and then he wont get used much. Cheap like hes now he will be much more used. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153232-ultramarine-captain/#findComment-1786273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Mine is 180, which is good for larger battles, since you could just use a chaplain or something in small battles.

Hubernator Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 The bolter is throwing me off... The rest of the model is great, just the bolter... must be me.

Rindaris Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Well... do you know what company your friend plays? That would be a good start :huh: Otherwise roll a D8 and add +1... thats what I'd do.

metcalfedan Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 I'm thinking 4th company, but this model looks nothing like Uriel Ventris, or his predecessor, so... EDIT: Still WIP but: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0164.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0167.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0168.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0170.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0172.jpg C&C Please :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153232-ultramarine-captain/#findComment-1786902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Damn, if you hadn't started painting, I would have suggested we race =-P too bad. Looking good. I like that metallic color. I might have to steal that idea too. =-D (Necron Abyss+ Mythril Silver?) You made progress WAY too fast.

Desert Eagle Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think the way you paint your metallic-blue armour produces a very interesting and rather original look. Thumbs up! A suggestion would be that you go extra dull over the areas that are non-metallic, just to leave no doubt that they are made of a diffrent matrial... like cloth for instance, same goes for the flesh.

ozris Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Looking really neato so far :P Fluffwise I'd have to demand a switch of the shoulderpads, since the chapter symbol is to go on the opposite side (considering Smurfs are Ultra-Codex!) ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153232-ultramarine-captain/#findComment-1787696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 @ozris: I thought about that just after I sprayed it and couldn't be bothered to redo it and spray again. It'll have to do. @Captain Mick: Cheers mate! @Desert Eagle: You read my mind. Still got loads of stuff to do. @Shortsonfire79: If you'd PM'd me in time I would have waited. oh well. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153232-ultramarine-captain/#findComment-1787715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

metcalfedan Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well, it's been a while, and what with exams, christmas shopping and photograph-editing for christmas cards and stuff, I haven't had much time for (any) 40k... But now i'm nearly finished! (all I have too do is finish one purity seal that I missed, and a few bits and bobs) Here he is: (I'm particularly proud of the blood on the chainsword :)) http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0377.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0378.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0379.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0380.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0381.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0383.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153232-ultramarine-captain/#findComment-1809794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somar Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 i think he is coming along nicely, i normally dont like metallic colors but this one looks good, well done Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153232-ultramarine-captain/#findComment-1810452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 6 hours and you expect a reply? In the morning? HAH! You have to wait at least 2 days. (or at least..I always do..) and it looks good. Kinda static..but its hard not to model static models...And theres a mold line running up the chainsword. very nice.
