Look man, all this is great but that Mortis Contemptor is hells yeah.

Thanks, both the Contemptors are from Betrayal at Calth.  Each has magnetized arms so I can do weapon swaps.  The mortis one was the first of the Calth dreadnoughts.  I did a little bit of cutting and sculpting.  The running dreadnought is definitely my favorite.  I cut him into a lot of pieces in order to get that running pose.  I really wish the standard dreadnoughts had more poseability.

I'm back.  The hobby hasn't stopped I just haven't posted in a very long time.  The Ultramarines are going strong and my pile of opportunity remains a small mountain.  One miniature at a time.  I have no real idea where I left off and what is new so I've decided I'm going to kind of inventory all of my collection as time allows.  So without further ado here is the first Games Workshop miniature I ever painted in the late 1990's.

Company I Squad I

55376256579_bf06ac068c_b.jpg

I don't think these models will officially be staying in Chapter, I'm generally not very happy with them after the years since I first painted them.  They'll just be quietly retired and the squad number given over to another batch of marines.

 

Company I Squad II

55376078146_7ff9023898_b.jpg

These will be getting some touch up in the future including a wash on the helmets and potentially painting over the yellow wings on their chest for gold.

 

Company I Squad III

55376256569_7130c04b57_b.jpg

This squad is a mix of the old finecast and the plastic Sternguard kit.  

 

Company I Squad IV

55379884660_75530dc04e_b.jpg

These marines were my answer to scout sergeants whose aspirants had either completed their training or been killed in action. This squad is likely to be replaced down the road.

 

Company I Squad V

55376207323_fe3a219009_b.jpg

These are my repurposing of the Dark Vengeance Dark Angels Terminators plus the Forge World Lugft Huron model as their Sergeant.  A bit of edge highlighting is in the future for these terminators.  

 

Company I Squad VII

55376207328_0ed73b9454_b.jpg

These are the miniatures that got me back into the hobby and in all the years since I still haven't finished out the squad.  I'm not even sure I have any close combat terminators anywhere.  Look out wallet I'm heading to eBay.  These guys will definitely be getting a bit of a refresh to update their look and the quality of the paint job.  

 

Company I Squad VIII

55375138717_4b888f7a96_b.jpg

Finecast Vanguard Vets that absolutely refuse to stand up for longer than three seconds.  Some edge highlighting is in order primarily on all the metallics and I'd like to clean up their helmets.

 

Company I Squad IX

55376256559_d14c605061_b.jpg

These are all finecast miniatures, a little bit of clean up for yellows to golds and some edge highlighting on the metallics.  

 

That's all for now.  I'm working on getting photos of the other squads put together.  

 

As always C&Cs welcome.

Company X Squad I

55401520227_c081143acc_b.jpg

These are the old metal sculpts.  This squad originally was painted like the inside of a Crayola box because at the time I bought them (mid 90's) I didn't have any color artwork of a unit of scouts.  And yes I realize they are over strength.  

 

Company X Squad IV

55402469101_35538058fd_b.jpg

 

Company XI Captain Decimus Felix

55402642494_859fec4c5b_z.jpg

My head canon is the Chapter I have represents the status during the Indomitus Crusade.  One of descriptions of Decimus Felix lists him having light blue shoulder trim thus a new company.  I'm aiming to keep all first born marines and primaris marines in separate companies.

For how long you collect your UM?

I got back into the hobby in 2011 after dabbling in it in the early 90’s.
