My captain has become a chapter master for gaming sake,.and for story ideas, here is a brief snippet

 

"How does a planet die? Is it a quick, sudden thing, or is it a slow process, a corruption of the population? In my opinion, it is neither. A world dies beneath the boots of an invading army, beneath the feet of a Legion. That's how a world dies;one step at a time." -Attributed to Chapter Master Aratheon, Ultramarines 14th chapter

I humbly Present Chapter Master Leo Aratheon along with Squad Quintus. As you can see, I still have a little ways to go,but for my first ultramarines I thought they came out well.

The story on Quintus is one of honor and valor. The marines with tabards are original Quintus members who served alongside the Dark Angels, and earned their respect. Two of the members are vaunted Imperial heroes gifted with the sign of the Aquila, and about 4 or 5 members have fought in the Conquerors Gladitorial pits.

Looking good mate, a really nice blue you have going there now you just need to get them all based

 

Thanks its actually suprisingly easy

 

Looking good, just get a pin vise and drill out the barrels.

This is my 1850 point list. I plan to buy cataphractii as terminators, deimos rhinos, and jetbikes to count as landspeeders

Alright, Its been quite a bit of time since I posted here, but i have models to show for it!

 

First up

 

Rapier Laser Destroyer "Destro"

Waiting on Phobos bolters and Heavy weapons, along with five more guys

Good to see some FW kits in blue.

 

Hey, I have that book. Just a few more weeks till "Cold Days".

 

One brief comment on the paintjobs: The majority of your painting is pretty sharp, so the handpainted chapter symbols are pretty jarring. I'd advise either using transfers or trying out a different method of freehanding them.

 

Ron at From the Warp did a nice walkthrough of a ultramarine terminator, but the best part to me is when he breaks down the freehand symbol. Practice that and you'll be able to do it well in no time.

It could be the lighting, but the paint looks a bit thick on some of them. I found it really improved my painting when I started thinning my paints with water. You want a fluid thickness like milk.

 

The only other thing I can really point to is the same thing I struggle with; your colors are a bit flat. Again, this could be the camera/lighting, btu going off what I can see, you've got a solid basecoat, but it's not going to really pop without shadows and highlights.

 

Shadows aren't too hard. Use a blue wash, and only hit the recesses of the model, the areas that would be in shadow.

 

Highlights are trickier. I honestly have yet to really get the hang of them reliably. But, Ron has a tutorial for that too. I love his site. I really do.

So, my other five iron armor marines came in the mail today, which made me quite happy. Here is Sergeant Orphus and my reworked chapter master based off Sicarius' body.

 

For the helm crests, I'm thinking red for Sergeants, and Black and white for my Chapter master/ captain

And the start of my short story for them.

 

[/indent]On the day twenty three nineteen died, it rained. It was as if the planet knew it's death was imminent, and wept for her people.

 

Sergeant Teraus Orphus quickly went through his pre assault checklist, making sure his squad was in optimal condition and ready to engage the savages of 23-19. As the drop pods doors closed with a chunk, the occupants of the tear drop vessel were cast in a red haze of emergency lighting, shifting their cobalt armor to a bloody hue. As he strapped his restraint throne, Orphus reviewed the mission parameters in his visor, and noted that one of the objectives was to minimize casualties in the civilian populace.

Orphus sneered. Personally, he felt, while the civilians where not necessarily at fault, they still did little to stop the spread of the xenos on their planet. He knew his views were often frowned upon in the higher echelon, as Lord Guilliman himself desired his legionaries to pursue other venues besides war. Orphus, had done little in that regard, prefering to hone his skills in the practice cage. Orphus was jolted out of his reverie by the mechanical drone of a servitor,

" Launch in 3, 2, 1. Launch"

 

[/indent]With a hard kick, and a stomach lurching drop, the Emperor's Angels of Death ripped towards 23-19.

 

Not my best work, but it' not too bad, right?

 

Anyways tell me what you think

I present to you Chapter Master Aratheon and his "Blades".

Aratheon is 150 year veteran of the Great Crusade, and a native of Tallassar as well. Aratheon is known as the "Hammer of Tallassar" for his prefered tactic of softening the enemy up with Heavy artillery including Rapier Laser batteries and Thunderfire cannons. As per Lord Guilliman's edict, Aratheon has taken up sculpting, and can be as often in the Training cages as his studios. Aratheon is also never seen without his Macraggian Wolf "Maximus" who adopted the marine as his own during his scout training upon Macragge.
