Capt. Lysander Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I like the assault marine sergeant's conversion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166586-my-ultramarines/page/5/#findComment-2245832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 My 1st Company Dreadnought done for the LPC 2010. Bulit from a standard AOBR dread with the AOBR dread CCW arm. The assault cannon comes from a normal dreadnought that I stripped down. Bling comes various sources but the purity seals and plaque on the front are from Forge World. I am actually most proud about the base. The dread is fighting some guardsman infected by nurgle. There is also a corroded nurgle icon on the base. Photo doesnt show it nicely but the rust effect came out very nicely. 2nd pledge for the LPC 2010 was a 9 man tactical squad. The sergeant was completed earlier and can be a few posts earlier. I tried to make each guy as unique as possible with different bolters and helmets. Whole squad Box Magazine on bolter Iron Hands bionic arm with Crusade Helm Plasma dude with an overlarge targeting array :lol: Drum Mag on the Bolter Heresy style MK2 helmet MM with alternate Mk2 Helm Ye Olde Tyme Bolter Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166586-my-ultramarines/page/5/#findComment-2258520 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thantoes Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 im loving the dreads base, its very cool.. look forward to seeing it up close.You really steamed through these guys, im impressed Just over a week for a squad of 10 and a dreadnought. I guess for me that is steaming through. The maximini Mk2 came out far better than I thought it would. Better in fact than the GW one (beserker helm with the bunny ears chopped off). I didnt out an individual photo up but there is also a chap in there with a Mk4 helm. I really like the variation that just doing helmet swaps gives to the squad.

Talhydras Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Love the uniqueness, too. Just a question... the blue on the photos is very light, that's not UM-Blue, is it? Looks a little like Enchanted Blue or so. My UM-Blue (used as highlight on my CFs) looks way darker, though...

Thantoes Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 It is enchanted blue with a 50/50 enchanted blue/skull white highlight. I find that the highlight really brings out the colour seems to lighten it up a wee bit.

Thantoes Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 The final 3 units from my LPC vow. 4 Terminators Sicarius And the scouts done in a more covert Night Ops colour scheme I was quite happy with my emblems as well...

David the Despoiler Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Very nicely done! It is armies like yours that make me respect the Ultramarines anew. The highlighting on Sicarious' armor appears a bit thick, though. The white on the Terminator helmets looks a bit flat also. Maybe a very light wash of Asurman blue on the helmets and then highlight it with white again?

Thantoes Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Its true, the helmets of my terminators are the one area that I am not happy with. However I am going to leave them as they are because if I change these ones then I have to change the other 23 Terminators that I own and I just dont feel like doing that TBH. *Oh, and this is my 1000th post...yay for me* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166586-my-ultramarines/page/5/#findComment-2321134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOniwaban Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Where did you find the hammer for this conversion? It kind of looks like fantasy chaos weaponry.

Thantoes Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 I believe the hammer head came from either a Warror of Chaos foot trooper or Knight. The haft is from one of the SW CC weapons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166586-my-ultramarines/page/5/#findComment-2321813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika-El Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Just had a look through this thread from the start...Thantoes...I hate you. Well I don't hate you, I am however highly envious of your painting and modeling skills. So envious I now resemble an Ork.

Blasferon Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 not only are your marines stunning they also bring up a welcome feeling of warmth as i rember the time all 2nd company ultramarines had yellow bands insead of gold, and your idea to use older style helmets is one i have always loved. these marines have also made me feel better about the smurfs seeing as they have no trace of the blandness so often linked with ultramarine armys, each modle was a treat for my detail seeking eyes, i do feel some level of envy, but its overwelmed by how happy i feel when i look at these marines Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166586-my-ultramarines/page/5/#findComment-2323848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Shucks, you are making me blush..... I am glad that people are liking my war dollies. I have tried to make them as unique as possible while still staying within the spirit of the Ultramarines :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166586-my-ultramarines/page/5/#findComment-2324010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blasferon Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 this was all the motivation i needed to start making each marine unique again, ive been making them within the kit instructions for too long. and my first few squads where full of inspired littlle details and things like personal heraldry dented armor older mk armor but after a while i just stoped, now that i see it can be done for the majority of a force im going to start again :P , also the scouts are done almost exactly like mine (but mine have one silver shoulder and gauntlet one black) i never saw sence in scouts that stand out. also im a bit late but the termie apoth on the page before has his healing junk mounted on a powerfist! that could go so wrong in a rushed operation ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166586-my-ultramarines/page/5/#findComment-2325178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Well it had to happen :lol: Its taken me 2 weeks to paint this guy due to other commitments but here he is in all his glory. Venerable Dreadnough "Will be Named Later" for your perusal. Only 1 little bit of kit bash on this chap.
