Tyrannicide Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Lookin sharp, Anaziel. I use photobucket. It's adequate. I know a lot of people use Flickr, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0MMY Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I also use photobucket - no complaints. Really like your ultras - having seen all the new GW kits I'm seriously tempted to collect a small force of loyalists, I'll be watching closely Anaziel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geektom Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Wow! super impressed by your painting skills- IMO, it is hard to balance clean painting befitting a proud loyalist chapter and realistic wear and tear. Yours is one of the nicest I have seen! Any group shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Wow, those are some absolutely stellar looking Ultramarines. Gorgeous paintjob, and this is coming from a Word Bearer. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geektom and Ultrad8: Okay, Ill get a group shot tomorrow of the 5 guys I have painted so far. Im glad to hear you like the weathering Tom, I was a bit biased myself in the beginning, Im not very used to it.

GrandMagnus Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 CHAPTER 3. "The gunships of the Adeptus Astartes shall be like the mighty dragons of the old tales, flying on wings of steel and brining inferno upon entire worlds, your airborn steed and salvation from the sky." - Extract from the Codex Astartes. +++ Red Hills, Macragge, 00:56 hours after the initial assault +++ 'BURN you ugly bastards!' - Maximus cried out as he unleashed a tongue of fire upon a score of xenos, the burning liquid attaching itself to their exoskeleton and burning them to ash within instants. He loved it, every last bit of it. His bare head was sweating from the close proximity to the fire, the flames reflecting in his shaved scalp. He turned left and happily applied his trigger finger to raise even more chaos among the xenos. He was hit in the back by a splatter of something liquid, the feeling running through his nerve receptors within the armour and through to his body. He dugged low and looked back only to see a small group tyranids being blow apart by the heavy bolter rounds of brother Eleus. 'You owe me one Maximus.' - the calm voice of Eleus chuckled through the vox. He grinned behind his rebreather and shouted over the noise of the battle. He was about to answer when he felt something incoming behind him and with a quick move he drew his combat knife just in time to slice the attacking creatures throat. He looked up as he heard an light humming, slowly increasing in volume. He wasn't sure what it was, it sounded like insects or maybe machines. His doubts would were answered less than a minute later when the general vox crackled open - 'Right flank, this is lead Stormraven Gunship squadron Bravo-Echo-Echo-Bravo “Calth´s Fury”. Warning, cover your heads, we are coming in low.' - The humming was extremely loud by the end of the transmission as the five gunships passed above them firing heavy weaponry into the alien lines, bolter fire blowing their corpses appart and lascannons leaving long lines of burned alien and cristalized sand in its wake. The gunships made a U turn in air and came back releasing a second devastating volley of firepower into the alien hordes. A loud cheer rose from the imperial line in response to thisunexpected air support and the first sign of doubt appeared among the tyranids, as some started turning on eachother and others were fleeing like animals would when they saw a hunter. Victory in this battle was within grasp, but the war was not yet over. 'Calth´s Fury reporting, returning to base camp for rearming, Emperor be with you brothers.' Battle brother Maximus, II tactical squad, II company, Ultramarines. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e230/MagnussenPB/P1280031_zps2a757d62.jpg *Not the best pictures, but there were complications. And as requested by 2 brothers, here is a group shot of what I have painted thus far: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e230/MagnussenPB/P1280040_zpsf56bbf1c.jpg Now back to work, I still have 5 marines to g C&C are of course welcome, especially on the fluff. I hope the Admins will forgive the "swear" in the first sentence, but I couldnt really find a good substitute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I really like the measured tear and wear technique there... It really gives the feeling of battle and veterancy without going overboard. Really like! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Very nice. You need to drill your bolters and the flamer, tough. ;) Anyway - can imageshack run out? I didnt know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but I dont have a drill But apparently yes, imageshack can run out its currently saying "you have 13 days left of free trial", which is strange since I have been using it for years now...

JeffTibbetts Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I really like the wear on them. As pointed out, it's not over the top. Most noticeable on the squad markings (especially the yellow stripes on the knees). I love the sergeant's helmet. Really well executed. Heck, even the basing is great with a nice contrast. This army will look great if you can keep that standard! And you need to get a drill. They deserve to be able to shoot those guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geektom Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I agree with Jeff- that squad marking stripe is incredibly affective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well, if you have been using it for years I should be safe. I started mine like 4 months ago =) And go get the GW drill. It is not much of a fuss and gets the job done very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not much of a fuss and gets the job done very nicely. If you insist, I just took a look at it. Its not that expensive so I might get it next time I order from GW.
