UltraRich Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Evening Ive got bored of painting blue plastic marines so to break up the endless smurf production line I pulled all my old marines out of the loft and decided to make a squad of old metal marines. I want to paint them something interesting (not blue) so Im open to ideas. Im leaning towards blood angels but let me know what you think. Any pics of painted marines would be appreciated so I can get an idea. I'll post a picture of the ones Ive stripped (and to be stripped) later tonight Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdeptusDavidus Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I second the Sons of Orar suggestion - they have a nice pretty colour scheme, and they'd make easy allies to field with your Ultras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Ive just found out what that robot is. Its a Castellan Robot and even better theres one on ebay at a cracking price Ebay clicky Now theres a dilemma... do I keep it or sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen-Shugar Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'd keep it, as it probably won't go for that price anyway since its a BIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Sons of Orar it is then For the next question do I use the original metal backpacks, the early 90's plastic versions or the new back packs. The only thing with the new ones is that they are massive on these models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Phoenix Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think that you should keep the backpacks as they came with the model, or, to ensure quality, use the old plastics rather than used+stripped ones. Sons of Orar are a great choice and one of the best-looking successors. They also benefit from looking great with gold detailing (much like their ultramarine brethren) and they can take UM blue as accents making a very striking and integrated allied force.
