Ultramarines Assault Terminators

Thought I'd throw these guys to the wolves, so to speak, and offer them up for comments on here.

The obligatory Group Shot

 

Aside from a black wash and a little tidying, I'm open to comments, critiques and suggestions.

Welcome to the B&C reaper :teehee:

models look good,although the sgts face seems to look like a couple more blended layers will make him look perfect :teehee: the roman numerals are very well done!

how much more of an Ultra army do you have?

Cheers Mithril

Very neat looking squad. Just out of curiosity: Why did you give each lightning claw terminator a different set of lightning claws?

Thanks for the welcome. Good point about the Sergeant's face, I'll have to work on that a little more. As to your question, my current roster stands at:

 

HQ:

Marneus Calgar (2nd edition *)

1 Command Squad ( Captain, Techmarine, Standard Bearer, Apothecary, Veteran Sergeant. 2nd Edition)

1 AoBR Captain

1 Chaplain on Bike with Escort (2 Bikes, 1 Attack Bike. 2nd edition *)

1 Chief Librarian Tigurius (2nd Edition)

 

ELITE:

1 Terminator Assault Squad (featured in this post)

1 AoBR Terminator Squad

1 AoBR Dreadnought

 

TROOPS:

2 Scout squads ( 1 sniper & 1 2nd edition *)

1 AoBR Tactical Squad

1 Light Tactical (10 men, 2 special weapons, no Heavy. 2nd edition*)

1 Light Assault (no jump packs. 2nd edition*)

1 Devastator (10 men, 4 heavy weapons. 2nd edition*)

 

TRANSPORT:

1 Rhino (current pattern)

 

2nd edition units marked * need their colours updating to fit more with my current army's painting style.

 

Waiting in the Wings, still boxed : 1 more AoBR box. 1 Terminator Tactical Squad. Marneus Calgar & Honour Guard

 

 

Aekold : The colours I'm using on power bladed weapons are inspired by the various lightsabers shown in Star Wars:Episode II, the theory being that the metal blades of power weapons are supposedly surrounded by an energy field.

I thought this approach would add a little variety to the appearance of the army over all, and added the electric arc effect to make the blades a little more dynamic.

 

Think it worked ?

It worked. I was just curious, because most players give their lightning claws the same colors, but I like your reasoning and the way you executed it.
