Ultramarines Scout Comany

[Commander Draaken]

Greetings to all. Ages since I posted...really must go nearly a year. Well impressed by some of the work I have seen on the boards in that time. With my local hobby shop closing recently they held a closing down sale. Basically everything was sold at 30-60% reduction including all GW stuff. So I find myself in possession of tons of Space Marines (I must have bought well over 120 of them). So I have decided to start a couple of armies my first being a complete Space Marine Scout company consisting of Scouts, Scout Bikers and Land Speeder Storms. They will have a Captain with Command Squad, Librarian and Chaplain as well as some Terminators and a Dreadnought as support (I know I wil have to fight Nids with these guys so they will need some close assault troops). I've picked the Ultramariens as my chapter for this mainly so I can use that Telion figure at long last! So here's the first models.

The blue's a little darker than the official GW scheme - mainly because I'm no great painter and I wanted a scheme that looks good and is fairly easy to knock out. So far I have around 80+ scouts (including some of the older metal models) as well as 2 LS Storms and 5 bikers. C & C welcome. I'm currently finishing off Telion as well as my first Terminator for this force.

I like what you've done so far. The blue doesn't look too dark to me - it's better IMO that they are darker than the usual smurf colour. And don't diss your painting, it and the bases look great. One niggle, make sure to get rid of mold lines! I see one on the right hand scouts head in the second picture.

 

As for Scouts Vs. Nids... Best of luck with that :P

Looks great so the tenth co is so cool (idea wise) but in game germs hard to a play and win consistantly. Good luck bu hunting

I like the style of these they dont appear as cold as the standard colour scheme.

I echo the comments about the mold lines. The painting is great but if you prep them they would be perfect.

Greetings to all. Very long overdue update (I humbly beg for your forgiveness...). More Scouts completed including my Telion model. I've painted him in a camo cloak to match the squad he will be leading.
