The 40k Hobbiest Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 So I play Ultramarines 2nd company, but I decided to make my own model instead of using Sicarius out of the book. Tell me what you think! I have more pictures of my army in my blog if you want to see them. The link is in my signature. The thing on his arm is an Auxiliary Grenade Launcher. I bitz-bashed it using an IG grenade launcher, an auspex, a melta bomb carry handle, and the aquilla from the commander box.

Lysimachus Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I must admit, on first look I wasn't sure if I liked the cartoony style of the black lining/highlight method. However, the more I look, the better it is, plus the army all together must really pop on the tabletop! Great job!

Generating Random Name... Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ah, are we seeing more of your marines?

I really like the style, it's quite unique in all this grimadark-ery :) I had another thread up for my tactical squad not long ago. Also, I have pictures of my Ultras (and other models too) at my blog.

Moshutta Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Wow! That's really nice, quite a distinctive style. I especially love the power sword, it has quite a comic book feel to it... and I mean that in the best possible sense!! Well done sir! Would love to see more of your ultras :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223597-ultramarines-captain/#findComment-2674286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Hyperion Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I really love the style. I would be curious to see a tank done up in this style though. Keep 'em coming, we want to see more. :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223597-ultramarines-captain/#findComment-2674460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyanamiKun Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 At first I was also not sure I liked your style, but the more I see it the more I think it's really nice! I wouldn't want to paint my minis that way but to have an army in your style would also be great! ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223597-ultramarines-captain/#findComment-2674772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Can only echo what others have said. First I was like 'ew' then I was like 'hmmm' and then I was like 'woah'. You could work for Disney. The tassle on the back of the cloak looks drawn on. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223597-ultramarines-captain/#findComment-2674811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gv0zD Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nice mini! I like the scorched blade a lot. It's a different approach to power weapon looks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223597-ultramarines-captain/#findComment-2674830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Angle Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Could you possibly give a parts list of the wrist mounted grenade launcher on the sword hand please Dark Angel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223597-ultramarines-captain/#findComment-2676756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 40k Hobbiest Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Could you possibly give a parts list of the wrist mounted grenade launcher on the sword hand pleaseDark Angel IG grenade launcher, Space Marine auspex, and the carry handle from a melta bomb. The aquilla is from the commander's box set. Basically, cut off the magazine cylinder from the IG grenade launcher. You'll have to cut quite a bit off the body of it, too. I also shortened the barrel as well. Then, when you get it all shaven down and cleaned up, cut the screen part off the auspex and glue that onto the back of the grenade launcher. Green stuff the whole thing to fill in gaps. I put the aquilla there to help cover blemishes. Then you just cut the carry handle off a melta bomb and throw that baby on top. Then, pin it to the arm and paint as normal. Does that help? If not, I can clarify anything you want me to. Thanks for all the comments!

Isiah Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Stunning paintjob. Hats off to you sir it's totally unique and very creative. Just checked out your blogsite -- your models look great en masse. Be interesting to see how you apply the same style to a larger vehicle model.
