UltraRich Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Ive just had a go at tiying my work space so while I was at it I thought Id get the 1st company together. There are about 10 still with gold trims but these need re-blending and making white as I did them about 3 years ago and my style and technique have really changed. This doesnt include the vets on the bench or any unpainted stuff (there is a lot) except my fellblade http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2007_zps55554d63.jpg Heres the shelf version. No room for the fellblade, old 2nd co squad or the dreads! http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2013_zpsaf62dc40.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 A quick update just to show Im still working on my ETL vow Here are the 5 based Vets. Im in the process of highlighting now but you can see what has and hasnt been done http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2414_zps77902cc7.jpg Ive also tried a couple of new techniques on the jump pack jets (although the middle one needs a tidy) http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2418_zpse749e57f.jpg Ive also started work on the chappy and tried osl on the eyes for the first time http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2419_zpsdda85bc9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Agreed on both counts. What a beast, and I need that black recipe, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks guys The black is pretty simple Following the rule of black isnt black at all I hit it with a coat of pure chaos black then a mix 80/20 of black and Kantor blue from above Washed it all in Badab black Then started to highlight with various mixes of black/shadow grey For the edge I used black/shadow grey/skull white Ive done the helmet and now need to find the time to complete the body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 As usual, your First Company looks awesome! Are you just getting the First, or are you going to start another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 As usual, your First Company looks awesome! Are you just getting the First, or are you going to start another one? Thanks for the comments Im not sure. Im toying with a set of PDF from Ultramar I've also got a Valkyrie to paint at some point Im rolling around the idea of doing an armies on parade using a snow scene and a joint line of both 1st company and PDF dug in and defending against a host of Nids. The problem is given the speed I paint I'll probably finish it for 2015 http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0667_zpsc06acd55.jpg If not that then this http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Picture001-11.jpg and if not this then raven gard. The problem is Im not too keen on painting all that black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxichobbit Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm liking the tone of green you used on those PDF. Chaplain's coming along nicely too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Thanks Guys Ill probably move to the guard next but tie it into the ultras as PDF Well Ive nearly finished 3 of my Vow 1 minis!! http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2434_zps74328bd7.jpg Theres still the scroll work and some highlighting but at least they have arms and heads now! Ive also treated myself this weekend to this. It comes at the end of the week so I'll knock up a review with a few pics when it comes Hopefully it will let me take my detail up a level http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/daylight-7in-magnifying-lamp/591269-1000 http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/SupplyImages/591269_1000_1_800.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Great looking Ultras! I've always been tempted by the idea of a UM 1st company army. I especially like how you've painted the power weapons and lightning claws and that chaplain is something else. He looks some much better with the powerfist!

UltraRich Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Ive now got the lamp and its really good although using the magnifier is a pain as you bang the back of the brushes on the lenses when painting. I need shorter brushes! The lights fantastic though and the thing I like the best is that it doesnt generate heat like the old 100w bulb did. Another side effect is that if you take pictures through the magnifier they come out pretty well Im trying really hard to finish these but I spent an hour just on the axe on this one. I didnt think he would turn out that well but Im happy with it http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2467_zpsdf467b79.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2469_zps15436e34.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2471_zpsec345dbe.jpghttp://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2473_zps33986858.jpg I also managed to get the mag locked helmet done on this one http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_2474_zps7892f38f.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Ok, so after a bit of a break Im going to give painting a go again So here is my first tester that I built before my break http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_3255_zps6e498615.jpg I thought this would be a good leader for my Nid hunter squad in the 1st company @ Burias-Drak'shal sorry for the delay. I think Ive detailed it earlier in the thread. Basically its browns washed with black/brown and shaded up through various brown/white/bleached bone mixes. Next time I do one I'll photo it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont worry. I dont play any more and just paint for fun so you will find non fluff stuff and weapon load outs all over this thread. Any advice is greatly appreciated The heads not fixed (you can see the blutac under the neck) so Im planning to take it off and paint laurels on the side (see the Sargent I did early on in this thread) I think that also counts doesnt it?

Flint13 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Glad to see you back to painting, Rich. I can't say much that everyone else hasn't already. Gorgeous, breath taking, unfairly pretty, all fit the bill quite nicely ^_^ I'll have to try that "taking a pic thru the magnifier" trick. I have one of those ringy daylights myself.
