Brother Sgt. Steine Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Super cool site!Hey, new to the forum here at B and C. So, to make a short story long, I've been dabbling in 40k models since 2000 or so. Painted a lot of fantasy stuff over the past 7 or 8 years. Gave up metallic paints in 2004 or so. Started a BL Chaos army 2001(sold it), purchased a small BT army in 2001 (in storage), started SW army in 2002 (sold it), started a BA army in 2004 (gifted it to a friend)... Purchased and painted the entire 3rd Edition Space Hulk boxed set (bugs too!) in 2009 (sold it on e-bay). Then I started reading a lot of 40k stuff, Horus Heresy series. James Swallow, Graham McNeil, etc. Really got hooked on the Ultramarines story line. So I started slowly building an army, then started my five year paint project last year by painting the entire AOBR (orks not included) and that set me off.I will try and post these models here for you to see. I am painting them mostly with 2nd Co. color schemes... I use NMM techinques and try to freehand most of my chapter symbols.EnjoyBrother-Sgt.

Retributis Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 My eyes, oh god my eyes! Blue writing is incredibly hard to read on the default charcoal grey coloured theme :) But welcome, all the same!

Shadowstalker Grim Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I look forward to seeing your models brother, but I second Retributus, another choice of colour is needed. I had to highlight the whole thing to actually read it!

tyrannosaurus Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Really nice smurfs man, very clean and crisp painting - interesting finish on the armour with the streaky highlights - I think my favourite is the Captain, that is an awesome mini - keep them coming :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245185-ultramarines-army-updated-112314/#findComment-2966145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 That Chaplain is really bugging me, in a good way. The black seems particularly vibrant, but no matter how closely I look at it I can't determine any highlights or any real shading going on. Is this a trick of the eyes? Extremely high light source in the photography? Foul witch craft (you Ultras do include the warp-touched in your ranks, so I have to ask)? Aside from that, a very interesting and unique style you've developed there, and it seems to be working well for you. Keep up the good work.

Ah-a-nothepsis Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I love love love love the chappy's shoulderpads, especially the gold. Well done.

Dosjetka Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looking great ;) The Sergeant's face is a bit weird, but the rest is very good and your NMM is quite good too!

Brother Nezulius Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Very nice looking Ultras mate. Might I only suggest to hold back on the eye liner on the sarge?

Brother Sgt. Steine Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Aye, Brothers the Sgt's face is a bit washed out... it is partly my old camera's fault, but I agree that he looks warp tainted! The Chappy's armor is also off due to my poor camera skills... The black armor highlights are there, just can't see very well. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT FEEDBACK AND POSITIVE COMMENTS. I'LL BE POSTING MORE SOON. Brother-Sgt.

Brother Sgt. Steine Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Okay just found this picture, this is the Capt. from the AOBR boxed set... That's the last of the 2010- early 2011 models... I only paint during the winter months. Basically, October thru April of each year. Brother-Sgt.

Brother Sgt. Steine Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Okay, here's another model I completed in late 2011. Forgeworld's LE Boarding Marine from the 2011 Games day in Chicago. The resin base I picked up from a small company in Italy. Of course, I painted him in full Ultramarine colors... :P http://www.reapermini.com/forum/uploads/monthly_10_2011/post-43-13190801716228.jpg http://www.reapermini.com/forum/uploads/monthly_10_2011/post-43-13190801986618.jpg http://www.reapermini.com/forum/uploads/monthly_10_2011/post-43-13190802062999.jpg FOR TERRA!

Volfen Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Really like the streaky highlight scheme. Gives it a kinda "polished metal" blue look. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245185-ultramarines-army-updated-112314/#findComment-2966725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
