nurglespuss Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi guys, I've had no problem tracking down guide images for my little project in the WIP forum, but, am having trouble establishing the best scheme for a pre heresy Ultramarine? Basically, Gold trim, Yellow trim, or no trim? Cheers! I'm using mainly 2nd Ed stuff as a basic source (for my own nostalgia reasons) and am painting in that sort of style. any ideas?

GrandMagnus Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Check out mine, maybe it can help. I consider the entire legion to wear gold trim and paint the company colour on a knee cap (company colours are codex standard). http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274838-ultramarines-for-the-emperor-and-macragge/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279638-pre-heresy-ultramarine-colour-question/#findComment-3451018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Ah i like it, good looking marine too. I wonder, does a GW publication have an 'official' pic? I'm tempted just to go with yellow, as I always loved that (and manage to work yellow into most models I paint ;p ).... Thanks again :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279638-pre-heresy-ultramarine-colour-question/#findComment-3451079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Ultramarines on the covers of Horus Heresy novels have all been trimmed gold, I think. I'm sure yellow would look fine though, if you're going for a 2nd ed style. I'm not sure company colours make any sense pre-Heresy – they had a lot more than ten companies.

nurglespuss Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Yes, thank you :) on my general browsing I remembered these: http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r155/khromash/smurf3.jpg Is this accurate for pre heresy (the arm colour/company colour bit?)

GrandMagnus Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I have never seen that image before, so I cant say for sure. It might be.

RazorDaemon Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 It didn't really change, just the style of the armor updated. http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/images/a/ac/Pre-Heresy_Ultramarine.jpg And this is from Rogue Trader from way back in the day http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/5/52/UltramarinesRT.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279638-pre-heresy-ultramarine-colour-question/#findComment-3451771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
