Was a lot of fun to paint. The missile launcher is my favourite part. I can't wait to paint the new centurions in this scheme :D More pics over on my blog http://taleofpainters.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/showcase-2nd-edition-ultramarine.htmlOr check out this cool unboxing a shrink wrapped 2nd edition game here.

Kuchinawa Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Tsk You're are SO out of date dude, our guys now can look down the sights of their guns. But really, I always loved this marine sculpt. I can't explain why. Simple but determined. And I also really miss this 'wacky' schemes. The missile launcher is awesome! I wish I could see more "updated" old designs and colors Great work dude. I love 'em all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 But the bases ate the wrong colour... Lol. Great job, this takes me back to when I first got into the hobby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Oh I love these so much! I can't wait to get to the ultramarine in my list ;p Really lovely colours, proper Ultramarine colours like they used to be (and should be ;p ). The knee badges are my fave, which blue did you use btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Ahh, the good old days. I remember popping those guys out of the sprue with my bare hands, because I was a dumb kid with no clippers But if you wanna be really retro, don't go through all that basing. Forget teh sand and the static grass, just paint the bare plastic green and move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Love these! Great scheme, especially on the Missile launcher I remember doing the same as Firepower, popping them off the sprue with no clippers so I could get gaming! Those were the good old days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vourne Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Fantastic squad. Really takes me back. I remeber playing with these against the old plastic Gretchin. Lovley precise paint job. Clean, crisp and smooth, and great free-hand work with the missile launcher and other details like the check work and squad markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DAN+ Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Wow! You've done an amazing job. As mentioned above the detail on the knee pads is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urauloth Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Whoa, the flames on that launcher look amazing. Superb paintwork all around, been looking forward to seeing these guys finished since you first put the WiPs up on ToP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy1391 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 The first few marines I painted were of this vintage.... Ah nostalgia! You did an awesome job BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 This takes me back, what a great paint job too. I can understand why you didn't opt for the classic base as well :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
araekyus Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Excellent work! Enjoying the detail given to each marine and the base work. Between this and other posts with these old models, this is inspiring me to break out some of my 2nd collection and paint some up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great scheme, especially on the Missile launcher I remember doing the same as Firepower, popping them off the sprue with no clippers so I could get gaming! Those were the good old days Hah! You had it easy. In my day, we had to get up at 6am, walk down to the plastic mill in bare feet over roads of hot coal, and spend 32 hours a day chiseling plastic to play a game that took 73 hours to play. But we were happy! Love the painting on these dudes. I really miss the little motifs people used to do on the legs and knee pads etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Blaire Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 They can? I'd love to see the tutorial on that one. ;)Well, according to the new Tactical Squad instructions, you assemble your Marine as normal,and make sure to use arms 54 and 55, plus your choice of bolter. :D Awesome old school paint job, but I agree, the bases are the wrong color! :D Fantastic work!
