Sadistic Imp Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hey guys, Just having some googling issues. Can't exactly find what I'm looking for. I need to know what color I paint my ultramarines in order to fit in with their chapter. I'm looking for about 1500 points. Is the gold trim the 2nd Company, also if it is, what color are the sergeant helmets/things I should look out for when painting? Thanks!

Fibonacci Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well ... there is the obvious .... http://www.createforless.com/p-images/3/2008/0422/141169-3-1.jpg But to be at least a little more helpful, this is not the best place to ask. It is for established tutorials and does not see a lot of traffic unless someone is looking for a particular topic. Try asking in the General PCA forum or even in the UltraMarine forum if you don't get a response here. There are more people with a better understanding of the paint schemes in those places.

Ultramarine vet Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'll tell you how I paint my Ultramarines. 1st layer the model in abaddon black. You can use primer but I don't bother. 2nd layer is kantor blue. Its a really good base coat. 3rd and final layer I use is Macragge blue. Terrific, vibrant blue. You can see a couple of squads I have painted in my profile gallery, you can see if you like it. Sergeants always have red helmets. However, veteran sergeants have a white stripe going down their helmet. Also, gold is the trim for the 2nd company. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286999-ultramarines/#findComment-3597716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadistic Imp Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Excellent, that's what I wanted. So it's the 2nd company that's in gold and the Sergeant has the red helmet. Love it. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286999-ultramarines/#findComment-3597722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramarine vet Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Aye! If you get 1st company veterans, their shoulder trim is white, along with their helmet.

DistroyA Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The 1st company doesn't necessarily have to have white trims; silver is another alternative (I.e. Mithryl silver/runefang steel) that can make them look quite flashy. Helmets on 1st company should be white though.

Ultramarine vet Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Specifically for Ultramarines, its always white. Other chapters may have silver, but the Ultramarines do not.

DistroyA Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Fair play, although I'm going by what the last 2 codices in particular state. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286999-ultramarines/#findComment-3600975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
