Ivanzypher Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hey guys, I recently did a small Ultramarines commision, thought I'd share some pics.

JeffTibbetts Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 They look super crisp, but I'm not gonna lie it bothers me when peeps mix armor marks willy-nilly. The trim-less shoulder pad should always be used with the studded shoulder pad, IMO, on a Mk. 6 body and Mk. 6 legs. I know it's really just my hang up. They look great. Nice bases, too!

Ivanzypher Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 The way I look at it is, when suits of power armour get 'sploded, odd surviving parts get mixed in as replacement parts on other suits etc. Leading to mis-matched suits. I seem to recall this type of thing mentioned in the fluff somewhere. I can fully understand why you dislike it though. Just personally I love mixing them. Especially on older chapters who would be more likely to have surviving bits of older marks lying around. Anyway, thanks for the comment mate.

AshenKnight Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Looking excellent. Loving the Smurfs. Clean, crisp and well executed.

Validar Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 looking good, no doubt. I'd paint those studs on the Mk6 shoulder, they look somewhat unfinished. Also, I think the sergeant's pose turned out... Less succesfull. He is kinda hugging his gun while he's holding out his sword straight. Just my 2 cents.

JeffTibbetts Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I liked that pose. To me, it looks like he's praying. The way we hold our hands over our hearts sometimes. His slightly bowed head reinforces the idea. Makes perfect sense.

Monstra Sumus Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Gives me the impression he's saluting the enemy before a brutal death. Nice Ultramarines.

Ivanzypher Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Sorry for the delayed response. Been away for a few days. Thanks for all the comments folks. In regards to the shoulder studs, I can never quite decide whether I prefer them painted or left the colour of the shoulder pad. I tend to mix it up a little. As for the Sergeant's pose, Brother Tyrax has the right idea.
