MrFortunato Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Well, here they are :blink: My very first space marines. I haven't added decals as yet as you can see... i'll do that when all my 10 combat squad are painted... Anway, some of you may recal recently i was asking how to paint a quick & easy ultra scheme to table-top standard, despite all of the advise, i made it up as i went along really :huh: Anywho, have i achieved my goal of table-top ultras? http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy304/MrFortunato/Ultramarines4thCoCombatsquad001.jpg http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy304/MrFortunato/Ultramarines4thCoCombatsquad003.jpg Any tips for improvement are also appreciated!

Thraxen Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 They look good. They may be a bit stunted in a fight though, I'm not sure invisible boltguns are tournament-legal. Nice to see some Ultras that aren't from the second company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid_awesomes Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 looks good. i would try to paint those highlights thinner t make them look more realistic but apart from that very good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Payton Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Very good so far. If I had to make a critique, it would be that they seem a bit too light for Ultramarines. Maybe a Badab Black wash? Of course, it could just be the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFortunato Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 It's a bit of both really... one has the flash on, one doesn't... can't tell which really ^_^ Thanks for the critique guys, got more responses on Tau Online (i'm a dirty Xenos player at heart really...) maint things were thick highlights, & some inconsistencies with the armour, which was soon solved with another coat of ultra blue... I actually prefer a brighter army this time round... all of my others are relatively dark, so it makes a nice change to do something simple but bright... and with minimal effort. The main colour for the armour is ultra blue, which i think is a fantastic colour! Did the sergeant too, red helmet, green laurel (call it a reward for heroism e.g. single-handedly saving a civillian family from some gene-stealers...with his bare hands) and green lenses... love him!
