Frostmourne Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Evening all.Finally got my first of 2 Forgeworld Boxes, but not until quite late in the day, so i started on the bases for these bad boys.I have written up some fluff for a Company of Marines, still stationed on Macragge during the events of Unremembered Empire, so i can base my force on that, potentially with a Tetrach commanding it and stuff. Which i will post up in the morning.My force to start though is using Pride of the Legion, as i think this most accurately portrays how i like to play, and how i like to think of Ultramarines at this point in time. Not that they are Shattered or anything, but still bloodied.I have the FW Praetor Set, The MK3 Strikeforce (Command + 20 Marines), Heavy Support Squad and Lascannons.On the way is the Deredeo, 2 Rhinos and a Sicaran.http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t394/Tom_Hawkes-Sargent/photo_zpsxnxgvdfd.jpgSo, as i said i started working on some bases, they look crappy in the pics, but alot better in real life, and i know from experience they look better when painted and stuffs.http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t394/Tom_Hawkes-Sargent/photo%204_zpsntgvj3vq.jpghttp://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t394/Tom_Hawkes-Sargent/photo%203_zpsg3wq0v1d.jpghttp://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t394/Tom_Hawkes-Sargent/photo%202_zpsfmbranky.jpgSo what do you guys think for a start, hopefully tomorrow i will get my first models up and made. Huzzah.Hopefully this will be a long and bountiful log, any thoughts please share.

Slips Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 The more loyalists the better, I say! Besides, Yellow and Blue make for a nice, eye searing contrast on the battle field! They cant shoot at what they cant stand to look at!

Vazzy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Dude, I really like those bases. That the one regret with my army, is a lack of coherent bases. I've never figured out how I wanted to do those. Also, with all the damned XIII legion logs here now, I feel like I should move mine.

Frostmourne Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 That's because the 13th is the biggest Legion anyway. So more fools like Myself doing it, the better. Haha.

Daemon2027 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Cool more ultras. Detailed bases look good. What shade of blue are you going for? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303417-frostmourne-project-log/#findComment-3949493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostmourne Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 The blue is a flatter matter but slightly darker blue. It's copied from a guys on Facebook. But after weathering powder and stuff it looks amazing. So hoping to replicate that. I do want to do the new sky blue from the FW weekender. But with no paint scheme released it's difficult to emulate.

Frostmourne Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Ok so, after viewing WoT's tremendous Fluff and history to his force, I will be shamelessly ripping... Ahem.. I mean, respectfully drawing on elements, of his story and structure for my own fictional company I am loving this idea.

Frostmourne Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Why thank you Warsmith Dantioch. I am currently building my Mk3 Command Squad, and fully loving actually building some Heresy Models. Brief overview of my fluff, and i mean proper proper quick skim view. This fluff, even if a little... off, is more to make some fluff for the Campaign i am finding myself in now, set in 40k. One of the 500 worlds within the realm of Ultramar, one of the last to be entered into the fold, is a Frozen Tundra world, not the equal on Fenris, but as close as you could get in the Ultima Sector. Its name is Caius. The initiates recruited into the XIII th from this world, are, as many of the world of Guilliman do, are many enough to form into their own Company, the 36th. During the Early Stages of the Great Crusade, the forces of the XIII, the Wolves of the VI, the Dauntless VIIth and the Iron of the Xth, combined to wage war against a Greenskin Waargh that would not be rivalled until the Great Triumph of Ullanor. At several times during the War across this system, tempers flared between the legions on the matters of how the Battles should be conducted. Never going beyond a loud objection or scuffing of pride, as brothers against brothers, would be unthinkable. Guilliman, using his talent as a Diplomat, suggested that similarities between forces, even down to the idiosyncrasies of individual companies, be lauded and encouraged.And such, did the 36th Company come to make war with the Wolves on Fenris. The Wolves found kindred spirits in those Ultramaines born and raised in the cold. And every such has their Friendship been cemented. I have yet to decide where i want these forces to BE around the Heresy times, but thats the background. But i will write up something more substantial when i am not on my phone.

Praefectus Invictus Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 How easy was it to put together the marine with the sword coming out of the sheath? I haven't started putting together mine yet because I don't want to stuff it up.
