daismith906 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hello there Ive always wanted to do a fluffy 30k army & after reading "Know No Fear" i was inspired to start a Ultramarines force. I love the roman feel of there weapons, armour etc & its about time smurfs are made cool. It works out quite well as my LGC are planning to run a 30k campaign in the next few months - 1000pts using a mix of the 30k rules set & current C:SM. So ive got some time to work on it. It states in KNF that the Ultramarines are made up of 25 Chapters (10,000 marines) each chapter made out of 10 compaines (1000 marines) with each company led by a Captain. As im using the Captain from the 30k codex as my HQ & dont want to go against the current fluff im going to base my force on the 2nd Chapter, 11th Company (which currently has no fluff about it). My 1000pts list should go like this HQ - Captain x2 Tactical Squads in Rhino's x2 Dreadnoughts x1 Devastator Squad I plan do them as fluffy as possible using the correct armour varients, weapons etc & each marine to be armed with a gladius :) So heres my first two WIP mini's Captain "Manilus Cato" - Armed with plasma pistol & powerfist wearing artificier armour http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/6045/001lumc.jpg http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/300/002eic.jpg http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8987/003iis.jpg & from Tactical Squad "Velox" Sgt "Titus Macro" - Armed with power sword, bolt pistol & wearing a modified & personalised version of the mk3 armour http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8602/004qcm.jpg http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/7761/005el.jpg http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/8267/006zz.jpg C&C is welcome Cheers for looking Dai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daismith906 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Cheers yeah have read them all & it would be wrong not to name a few marines after the legions inglorious captains Managed to make another marine yesterday Heres "Brother Varo" Armed with Mk2 varient of the autocannon (which is more mobile than the mk1 but sacrifices magazine capicity) & wearing the new Praetor pattern helmet. The 11th Company have been honoured to field test the Praetor pattern helmet due to their highly decorated past & experience in frontal assaults. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/8272/001zli.jpg http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8005/002tzo.jpg http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/4568/003zxfy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassill Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Not much of a fan of Ultramarines, but Pre Heresy Ultramarines are some of the coolest looking dudes. Well done. When can we see some paint on these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Mate that autocannon is awesome! I like the poses you got going on. What body have you used for the guy in the very first pic? Is it one of Calgars retinue from the box set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Good poses, I especially like the first guy, but I've always felt that particular powerfist has a really annoyingly curved index finger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lestat Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Great work on those Ultras. The Eagle books are a great source of inspiration - you just got to love the chalk and cheese characters of Macro and Cato. The Mk.II and Mk.III armour you are using suits the Roman feel pretty well as it has always reminded me of Lorica Segmentata. You could include a few scutum style shields if you plan any assault terminators just to give that added Roman look (Yes, I am a bit of a Roman nut :) ).
