UltraRich Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Another week, another marine. At this rate I'll be done in a couple of years! 1st beakies about done and Ive made a start on the 5th mkiv marine using the FW accessories pack http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0256-Copy_zps0eaf2658.jpg Im going to work on the corvus sargent next and hopefully wont get too much grief for taking a knife to this guy What do you think to the chainsword arm. Ive a combi melta from the captains pack and I dont know if pointing that would look cooler http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0262-Copy_zpsf867914d.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0263-Copy_zps655923de.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3369578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Just came across this thread. The depth of the blue is amazing. The white is equally impressive. As for the Limited Edition sarge, my vote would be for a pointing arm as if issuing a challenge/threat. I imagine him pointing and saying, 'You. You're next.'

Thanks I would do but all my sarges are pointing. The Mkiv one is and so is the dev sarge. I think he needs a big gun Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3369590 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqui Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Second and third would look very cool if the model was holding it with both hands. Lightning Claws are always cool, but the Storm Bolter is what I'd choose ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3369656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 As Im working on this company anyway I thought Id throw my hat into the UM Vow. Heres the 5 vets and libby that will form my initial vow. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0279_zps22e58e63.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3372961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Ive started work on the Libby Im after feedback on the colour scheme as Ive gone old school on this. Also from a fluff viewpoint if a libby is linked to a veteran division would he take the markings and colours of the division? In this case the white trim on the shoulder pads to match the others in the 1st? This is a quick pic so the colours are really exposed. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-1copy-16_zps38843c97.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3374422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Maybe it's the Marine Malevolent in me, but the first Captain with the fist and chainsword is pretty badass. Love the depth of blue you've been able to achive with these guys. Keep up this excellent standard!

Toxichobbit Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Strictly speaking (in a fluff sense) even if he regularly works alongside the 1st, a Librarian is a member of the Librarius, so he wears on company colours. His shoulder rims would be blue. however, if you really want to paint them white then go for it. It's not too hard to come up with a reason why they might be white - honour marking for service alongside the 1st, or something similar. He's looking good though. Makes me feel I need to get more painting done :).

UltraRich Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks Guys Thanks also Toxic. I'll keep it blue but may stick a crux somewhere to tie him in. Ive had a go at the face this evening but looking at the picture Ive picked up a hair on the face! Its a bit of a shame most of its covered http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0301_zpsca46265b.jpg Just got to do the same on the hand now http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0304_zpsf97c19c3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3375130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Heres a quick update for my ETL vow I had a go at painting the Libbys hand with the same glow as the eyes. That really didnt work out well but Ive just put it back to its base colour. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0316_zpsf86f7c46.jpg Ive now finished all 6 bases and Im now onto the marines. Ive mocked this one up with tac to see how it looks. Ive gone back to the original scheme of white right pad. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0314_zps0f998ba4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3380182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 So Im slowly making progress with these. As my next vow turned up from ebay today Im keen to get these done. Theres something to do on all of them then its onto the backpacks (which I hate so I do them in bulk) http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-1copy-16_zps17400049.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3396803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yak Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 That horrible feeling when you think your almost done but then look at the pile the back packs and bolters.... Love the glowing effect on the Librarians eyes. I really wish I had the bottle to do that on a finished miniature but scared I would ruin it. Great work as always Brother Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3396815 Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Quick update Tonight I have mainly been doing battle damage! Ive four marines finished now bar the backpacks (grrrr) http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0168_zps19f7c5de.jpg Whats odd is the lighting makes it look like you can see a texture in the paint. I'll try and get a distance shot http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0170_zps3937a7c3.jpg Edit: This one turned out better http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-1copy-16_zps1fc2d415.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3398208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Great work, the free hand and battle damage is very good. Even the most craven of foes will have to submit to your Ultras when they hit the table!

Hopefully I'll get the vow finished this weekend (or next week) Then as a peek at the next vow its onto this http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0174_zps1dfe5a0b.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267884-ultramarines-1st-company-project/page/5/#findComment-3398732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sondar Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 @ UltraRich, you make Ultras look amazing. They where my first army way back in the distant depths of second edition. I never striped them or recycled them into another army. I'm feeling very inspired to give them a drip in the stripper and a new lease of life. Viva Ultramar!

UltraRich Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Your next vow - does it carry a Tyranid on it's back perchance? No, Ive got one of them half complete so I cant really enter it.
