Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Never been an Ultra fan. But I have to say I am loving these. Lots of atmosphere to them, perfectly painted. And amazing poses. I especially like the extra ammo bearers for the heavy weapons marine. That is an idea I will be stealing :) Very nice work. Looking forward to seeing more :huh: CTK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194040-ultramarine-tactical-squad/#findComment-2307653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinyRhino Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Nice work! I also like the ammo bearers. Very cool. The little freehand icons are also a great touch, especially the aquila on the brow of the beakie Marine.

Shaun Carlin Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Your painting style reminds me so much of my own, but I must say that Sergeant is pimp! and the skull on the top of his banner is pure excellance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194040-ultramarine-tactical-squad/#findComment-2309136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Really nice, like the darker blue on the armour. Only thing I don;t like is the fact they're ultramarines. And the second thing is the white squiggly lines that are meant to look like writing. I always think they look like... white squiggly lines. Coming along nicely though man, good work.

pingo Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Wow; thanks so much for all the nice comments guys :tu: I'm really pleased that people like the ammo bearers. I guess I figured a heavy bolter would go through a lot of ammo so it made sense to have some brothers lugging extra around. It's nice to tie different members of a squad together; like they're working together as a unit. @marine: good spot with the MMX (2010): you're dead right. This was the first squad I painted this year, so I marked the unit for posterity. I might do something like that more often so I can look back in years to come and know when I did things. @tyrannosaurus: you'll have to take my word that most of those lines look better in less extreme close-up. I can be a bit hit or miss with script at the moment. Like freehand, it's one thing I'm working on improving. And let's not hate on the Ultras - you're just jealous because of our lucrative royalty rights on the Codex Astartes (now in it's 10,000th edition) :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194040-ultramarine-tactical-squad/#findComment-2309253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghakzull Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I love the simple kit bashes that you've pulled off through out the squad especially the ammo bearers, also the faces are pure win.
