UltraRich Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks DogHouse. After following your work for the last year thats a great complement. Hopefully I can get the squad of 20 finished in the next month, then finish my SH terminators and then move onto the tanks!!

UltraRich Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Heres the next one. I saw one of the other Ultra collectors had added storm shields and they looked great so I thought I'd give it a go. Im not sure if the white is "too" white so let me know what you think http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/shield.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200234-tactical-squad-with-a-few-death-company-bits/page/2/#findComment-2465661 Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Here is the latest update. Ive just scored 20 painted marines off ebay that includes 2 assult squads (plenty of running legs) and a DA Command squad. Ive started work with some of the legs and torsos. Some could be stripped but some lost detail so I did this with green stuff to replace the chest icons. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Picture053-1.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-1copy-4.jpg Ive also started work on the DA squad. Heres where we are so far. Ive stripped all the iconography off and replaced it with Ultra/generic icons. Im wondering if I should do these as Veterens (models only not for game use) and if so what colour do I do the robes? Deep red, purple, clean white or cream?? Let me know your colour choice considering he has blue armour. Thanks Ive turned up the brightness on this pic so you can make it out. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-3copy.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200234-tactical-squad-with-a-few-death-company-bits/page/2/#findComment-2477236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 these look awesome, best ultra's I have ever seen also what is your recipe for red. Thanks for the comments For the red Khemi Brown foundation undercoat a couple of coats of thinned blood red. This will now look really bright. Wash with Badab black thin coat of blood red on the large areas Wet blend highlight up to pure blazing orange with various blood red / blazing orange mixes. If it was a bigger area Id give it a watered down red/black ink wash This all came because when I took up painting again after a 10 year break I onlyhad a few colours. Now I have about 4 reds i still do the same as it comes out so well! Has anyone got any opinions on the robe colour? Im thinking cream would go with the blue but then again red would look good with blue armour and white helmets.
