Thantoes Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 I have decided to take my terminators which I so rarely use and convert them to a "Deathwing" army or in this case an "UltraWing" Army. Have stripped down and repainted most of my termies and have now converted up a command squad, which can be seen below. I have gone for an Old School look with the hazard stripes and the red bolters. Stripes are a bastard to paint and not as straight as I would like but they will do. I also like that every one in the squad is different which will be helpfull with wound allocation.

Shaun Carlin Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 As far as I know theres no rules for teminators command squads anymore but these look Amazing and I like the converting on the apothacary. I don't mind making models for the sake of coolness but I like to have the option to use them in games, If there are rules for these then someone let me know because looking at these inspired me to make a unit of my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 There are no rules in C:SM but there are in the Dark Angels codex for the Deathwing. I shall be using those when I play with these fellows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Are those FW shoulder pads? they look pretty good. although i though the skull on the ultra 'U' on the AC termy donated the unit sergeant?? could just be me being thick, i guess he is a veteran after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the sergeant one should be red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattison Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 don't worry people, it is okay to look at ultrasmurfs, if they are this well-painted! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassmaw Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Well after viewing 3 pages of work i would like to congradulate you on showing me the first ultra smurfs army that i like. Overal clean paint job with good minor conversions. Slightly above TTC. Nice work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Has been a quiet few weeks. Have painted up the Bolter element of a devestator squad which I am not going to post as really, they are bog standard blue marines :) I have also done up a new Terminator Sergeant. Special thanks to The Prophet for his quick tutorial on how to do the glaive. Also, just to make GC08 happy I have given him the skull in U shoulder pad and even painted it red :) Also, a few weeks back I finished off some more Honour Guard for Marneus.

greatcrusade08 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 liking the glaive on the termy sergeant, looking good. Just so you know, im really in love with this honour guard.. i think the white trim blows the gold out of the water! Nice job mate.. im very happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 You really paint the white really nicely. It looks like marble or something, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 The irony is that I used to avoid painting white like the plague as it always came out aweful. Now I quite enjoy it. Would never try anything large like a whole suit of armour but bits of wargear are fine :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 After seeing this, my respect for smurfs (well painted ones) went up a whole notch :P I love the captain you first posted, and the vanguard vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Has been not that a productive time over the last few weeks. Work tends to cut into my painting time. However I have managed the odd mini.... I got a new Assault Marine box for Christmas and have now put it together and painted it up. Done only 1 minor conversion to the squad which is the axe on the sergeant. This squad, Squad VIII, will have all plasma pistols unlike my other Assault Squad which was all flamer (Squad VII) I also finished up the Chapter Champion. While I was really thrilled with the paint job I was less than impressed how the varnish went on. I tried a new brand, Humbrol Matt Cote, and did not read the instructions right. Unlike GW varnish this actually needs to be mixed. I only discovered this after 2 very shiny coats. So the matt coat was the 3rd layer. I think its too much and has obscured some detail but I was in no mood to strip and repaint the mini. Anyways it will do for now. I also gave this fellow a name, returning a favour as it were :rolleyes: Now I am really proud of this fellow. He is going to be the Sergeant of Squad IV. He is a conversion of the AOBR Sergeant. Armed with only a X-acto knife and a file I did a head swap and then did some other bits and pieces. All in all there are pieces from 6 different boxes on this guy. I also admit that this pose was shamelessly stolen from this THREAD though I maintain mine looks better ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Angry Marine Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Wow...That's all I can say. You honestly took Ultra Smurfs and made them likable. Congrates. I like the Sergeant with the hammer. Very good conversion and paintjob. I'll be following this :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Tirian Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 After viewing this thread all i can say is that they are the best Ultramarines i have ever seen!!! :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm going to be annoying and say the pose on the AoBr conversion looks slightly awkward; his body is twisted away from the firing arm making him look like he's been caught half turn. It's a minor thing I know, but I thought I'd point it out. But nonetheless the paint job is simply stellar, smooth and eye catching. I have nothing but praise on that account.
