ems_goof Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Going back to my roots, I had Ultramarines in the RT days as well as 2nd and 3rd edition. http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/ultramarines1_zps88b9a0fe.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Sirus Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Nice to see your return brother. Looks like your off to a strong start, love the shade of blue. I'm looking forward to seeing how your project develops. We march for macragge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems_goof Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Update. Not sure on the bases- brown or black rims. Weapons will be black, not red. Getting ready to be out of town for about 3 months for training in a new job. Will be taking the Ultramarines with me to give me something to do in the evenings. http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/ultramarines2_zpsa44795a8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Brown bases, I think it looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batu Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm a black rim guy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StruManChu Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I like the black rims too. Brings out the detail of the bases and the minis a bit more, I think. Looking good ems_goof! Tidy paint jobs and clean highlights. And is that a Sicarius I see in the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems_goof Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Sicarius is in the mini case, hasn't even been primed. That's the Black Reach captain on the desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems_goof Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 I ended up going with dark brown rims. An updated pic (class has me a lot busier than I figured I would be for the first 4 weeks!) http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps8bedac47.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vazzy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I like them, they have a nice dark look to them! Highlighting is nice, though that gold wouldn't suffer it received a slight mithril highlight. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems_goof Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah, I noticed the chest eagles as soon as I posted the picture. The shoulder pads actually have a highlight on them but it doesn't come through in the combination of poor lighting and cellphone picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems_goof Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Well I thought I had highlighted the shoulder pads, but apparently not. Tonight was all about transfers though. Just the squad numbers left for this group. Tomorrow hopefully will be weapons and varnish of the transfers. The unfinished bases are going to have to wait until I go home in a few weeks. Also have some quasi-finished Imperial Fist tactical guys in my case I will try to do chapter symbols for tomorrow if I get really bored. http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-01/DD913C5E-9D2E-44C1-AA7E-847E097106CC_zpsa4nuvrez.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems_goof Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 I suppose I shouldn't keep the sons of Dorn waiting... And no, I don't think I would ever go back to painting yellow again... http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/2728136E-C919-4514-8DE3-CD12E9417E75_zpsrfqakd7j.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feuer_faust Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I like them, in particular the yellow instead of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems_goof Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Problem being away from home - I forgot my plastic glue, so I guess weapons are out for now :( On a positive note, I have 2 test minis that won't take a lot of work to finish, so here's a shot of the whole squad. Decals / markings are done on the first 5. http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/Mobile%20Uploads/CA90AD38-C477-446F-9734-94F28B857F46_zpsr7yxnksz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Nice Ultras like the darker Blue and the gold trim looks ace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSilver Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 These are looking really nice, I also like the darker blue, and it's nice to see more second company. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems_goof Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Took advantage of being let out of work early due to snow and got the base blue done on these 3. The prime is a dark blue, followed by a coat of ultramarine blue. Next I'm giving a coat of gloss varnish. After the gloss, I'll put Drakenhof Nightshade in the recesses. http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/Mobile%20Uploads/978A70FB-C169-4F14-9C90-1CD53E7A3174_zpsqmfssykj.jpg http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/Mobile%20Uploads/FD6B120D-3854-4A5E-A578-E0A4F8DF8B4F_zpsls98s0o7.jpg http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/Mobile%20Uploads/006120C5-94FD-48AD-BF18-99C3AA699FCC_zpsafjkeiio.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ems_goof Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Highlight of Calgar blue then wolf grey edge highlighting. After that I put on 3 coats of Guilliman blue glaze. http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz105/emsgoof/Mobile%20Uploads/B794F3D1-39A2-44B1-A202-A575F3A49A45_zps32nvgwf0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrandy93 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 brother, great job! Wish mine came out so nice. I have 5 squads on my desk and i am deciding on what gold to use for the chest and pad rims on the rest of my Army. I have used the Citadel Balthassar gold on 3 squads and Warpaint's Greedy Gold on 2 squads. So far I like the Warpaints gold but I have to do a second pass with Gehennas gold from the Citadel line on the other 3 squads. Then I will paint another squad using Valejo Liguid Gold line when it arrives from store. Trying stuff out now I am retired. I have 3 full companies of UM to paint and about 28 UM Tanks to do.

ems_goof Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Took advantage of a snow day from work / class to get a little painting done on the second half of the squad. Apologies for the horrible lighting.
