arisen Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 After a horrid amount of removing mould lines and glueing everything together, the ultramarines second company finally stands assembled;Sicarius, terminator chaplain, command squad in drop pod2x full plasma tactical squad in rhinos 2x full melta tactical squad in drop pods 2x tacticals w/ vet sarge w/ power sword, flamer, heavy bolter in rhinos1x assault squad w/ vet sarge w/ power sword, combat shield, 2 flamers, jump packs 1x assault squad w/ vet sarge w/ power fist/plasma pistol, 2 plasma pistols, jump packs2x full lascannon devastator squad in rhinos2x TL lascannon, power fist dreadnoughts in drop pods I know most of the layouts aren't really competitive, but I've got enough extra spare marines assembled with combi/special/heavy weapons to be able to switch most layouts around (e.g. I can field 3x full melta + 3x full plasma instead of the layouts mentioned above) while still maintaining squad markings (studded shoulderpads on heavy/specials/sarges FTW)Being ultramarines they'll ofcourse be getting all squad markings in accordance to the codex astartes Ofcourse there'll also be support elements (stormtalons, storm raven, 1st company, 10th company, centurion warsuits,bikes,...) that will assist. Plus, painting a squad of scouts may give me a bit of a breather from painting all that power armour I'll update with each fully painted squad or vehicle (whether from the company, or a support unit), but here is the company as it stands now; for the moment, only 3 tacticals from squad I and 1 assault marine from squad VII have been painted;http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m155/coves85/IMG_1481_zpse8014025.jpghttp://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m155/coves85/IMG_1480_zps994e12ba.jpghttp://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m155/coves85/IMG_1482_zpscc564b47.jpghttp://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m155/coves85/IMG_1483_zps6df45ae1.jpgWish me luck, we're going into the blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arisen Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 RL kind of got in the way of my 2nd company project, but I have finally gotten round to rebasing and painting the first squad of tactical ultras (hence the Roman numerical I). All marines are now on 32mm bases as well. I've also added a few pics for base size comparisons; it's amazing how much of a difference those 32mm make to a space marine's bulk without actually converting anything. Next up, their trusty rhino. http://i.imgur.com/9Wr2bfb.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/8Wrkpef.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/VheMGaH.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/V7GEvUu.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/4D6inu3.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/1Zk3MzK.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/SXWtVBR.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/MYcJQ4B.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/qfvXMtV.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soric Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Those are some well painted ultras. As you said its amazing how a change in base size can really change the look of a mini. Keep up the good work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Love those 32mm bases! Your painting is really strong too, very consistent (which is something I admittedly struggle with). It's nice to come back to an old project. BTW, make sure you throw your hat in the ring for ETL, brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsman Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 This is a nice start fellow Ultramarine . You have lots of work ahead of you. I am painting the second as well with support elements from the whole chapter and I am close to a full company but I will not rebase to 32mm bases as this would mean losing all these nice bases I have already made.

arisen Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Thanks for the comments! @Mitsman; seeing as how I just had 3 models based when the 32mm bases hit, I decided to go ahead and change them all because I still had nearly everything to go, if it had been otherwise, it would have been harder to decide. Here's 2nd company's 1st rhino (numeral on small top hatch) has been assigned to tactical squad 1 (as seen at the access ramp en on the top hatch). Up next; some 10th company backfield support led by the chapter's most experienced sniper (I'll be painting something else in between power armour squads and rhino chassis each time to avoid burning out on painting either of those) http://i.imgur.com/xxCFpwG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/BdXLjij.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vnd0vha.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0VkOe6c.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HHuLdun.jpg http://i.imgur.com/d7DSwri.jpg http://i.imgur.com/cybFT3h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/W9Z6s0k.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZcWeHjl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arisen Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Sorry for this topic being so quiet (how can it take so long to paint 10 scouts? ), but when reaching for the scouts in my 'to paint' closet I saw something I've been dying to paint since I bought it over a year ago, and with a new codex in the pipeline, I just couldn't resist; meet the first knight from house Terryn that will be supporting my ultras in combat. IMO the FW Terryn upgrade set is perfect for this knightly house, and each possible future knight will be receiving it as well. The blue is slightly lighter than GW's House Terryn, but I want it to match my ultras as much as possible. Here's some pics of the errant's current painting state; http://i.imgur.com/eSjoc2s.jpg http://i.imgur.com/FzLHL0F.jpg http://i.imgur.com/EAfI36c.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kj7ffRw.jpg http://i.imgur.com/yp2Fezw.jpg http://i.imgur.com/GC0Cvjy.jpg Not everything's glued in place yet though for ease of painting. http://i.imgur.com/mTebEsZ.jpg Still lots of work to do (weapons, top carapace, shoulderpads, front shield, exhausts, transfers,...), but it should hopefully be finished by next week. I just hope my thirst for painting knights will have been quenched for a while because the further along I get painting it, the more I want to buy another one to paint after this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arisen Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 After some advice I've added some extra edge highlights on the first rhino, i.e. rhino V1.1. Having already put enough work into the errant, I'll be doing the same to the first tactical squad and adding some extra blacklining. Especially with the rumoured codex incoming! http://i.imgur.com/AyUZzek.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/7g1rPCl.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/nTwdNtJ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/zzpXedl.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/ejSvJY4.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/EWIaY8v.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/zbEmJ4K.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
