The Pounder Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hello! I'm Jud, I've been in the hobby for a long time. I had a hiatus during my late teens and early 20's then I happened to see the Death Korps of Krieg and I was sucked back in! I now have just over 5000pts of the Krieg, so thought I'd start something new. I've been reading the Horus Heresy novels from Black Library, the latest 2 I've read are Mark of Calth and Unremembered Empire. I really enjoyed both. I've started Ultramarines before I love Classical Era history, so Ultramarines tick all the boxes! I'm really going to try and bring out that Roman/Greek feel. I know these aren't from Forgeworld but it's a start! Anyhow here's the pics Those were the grunts, Here's the Serg!

GrandMagnus Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Nice start brother! Dont worry if the marines are mainly from GW as long as they look era-apropriate.

The Pounder Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hello again. Found a bit of time to work on the Ultramarines. Really happy with the way they're going. It's the first project I've done where I've painted flesh! Let me know what you think.

dosiere Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm really liking those last few! The flesh looks super.  Are you using the Ultramarine shoulder pads from GW?  What helmet is that on the first miniature of your last post?  What are you using to paint your gold?

The Pounder Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks for the reply and positive feedback. I am using the GW shoulder pads. The helmet is from the Emperor's Childern Palatine Blades set. For the gold, I use Citadel paint range, I start with Warplock Bronze, then Hashut Copper, then Gehenna Gold, a Reikland Fleshshade Wash, Gehenna Gold again, line highlight Sycorax Bronze and finally Runefang Steel to finish. Hope that helps. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298164-juds-horus-heresy-era-ultramarines/#findComment-3844383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspecti Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Very nice looking models :) I've been 'afraid' of buying those shoulder pads since I heard they're slightly smaller than the current plastic ones, but they look to be fine.

spjaco Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah, sometimes the molds run a little funny and some come out small. Other times just right. Go figure.

The Pounder Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Back again! Finally gathered enough bitz to make an Assault Squad Sergeant. As with all my Ultramarines I'm mixing bitz from all over the place. Hope you like the progress so far! This'll probably be my last update before Christmas, let me know what you think of my progress.

The Pounder Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks! I'm really enjoying this project! I've always loved Classical era history so this has fed into that. My previous army (Death Korps of Krieg) was very gritty and weathered, the Ultramarines in contrast are very neat and clean. I'll be adding more at Christmas.

The Pounder Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ok, so I've got 5 MK III and MK IV, plus a load of GW spacemarines, my question is do I mix the bits up? Or would it look better to keep the different Mk's as complete models?

The Pounder Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Finally made some progress on the Ultramarines. I've usedbits from the forgeworld MKIV and MKIII armour, thesehave been complimented with Sternguard and Ultramarinepads from GW. Here's the pics 8 more to go!

The Pounder Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 OK here's the latest additions to my Ultramarines, I have keptto my plan to use the shoulder pads to add a bit of extradetail. I'm quite happy about the effect that gives.I have 6 left so I'll update when I get a chance.

The Pounder Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 OK, I've finished my first tactical squad, I'm waiting to see which way the wind blows as far as GW making 30k stuff before adding more. Please let me know what you think, I need to know if I'm on the right track, as I'm new to power armour.  http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah259/thepounder/DSC00044_zpsvk2illxn.jpg  http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah259/thepounder/DSC00043_zps8fsqa5xv.jpg  http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah259/thepounder/DSC00042_zpsr9ssblml.jpg  http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah259/thepounder/DSC00041_zpsdpjv7dfq.jpg  http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah259/thepounder/DSC00040_zpsyryvdfem.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298164-juds-horus-heresy-era-ultramarines/#findComment-3976192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rojo Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Agreed with the others, I think you've done an excellent job. The mixing of armour marks has worked well.

Nym468 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Where did you get the shield from. That's nice. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298164-juds-horus-heresy-era-ultramarines/#findComment-3991400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks brothers! I'm going to build up some more using kits from GW next. The all out FW option is just too ruinously expensive! The shield is an omega shield, I bought 3 from ebay, I think they were from a firm called scibor. Again thanks for the feedback, I'll post some more pics once I've made some progress.
