Stuart Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I painted these guys up as a present for my brother. His first 40K army the Ultramarines 2nd Company, back in the day when they rocked yellow shoulder rims. It was fun painting them in a 2nd Edition style, and a good opportunity to practice some basic freehand. Terminators (can you name the Assault Cannon conversion bits?): http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y362/stuartziarnik/Minis/Marines/Terminators_zpsekbiqvsb.jpg Devastators: http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y362/stuartziarnik/Minis/Marines/Devastators_zpspplqrs8y.jpg Super advanced and intricate objective markers: http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y362/stuartziarnik/Minis/Marines/Objectives_zpsyxlf4lzl.jpg My brother's Captain, probably painted circa 2001: http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y362/stuartziarnik/Minis/Marines/UM%20Captain_zpse1gf4tmo.jpg I’m also painting up 5 Sternguard. Should have them done this week or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffTibbetts Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I dig the sand and flock bases. They should really have Goblin Green rims though, eh? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Cheers guys Arkley, you're correct! Jeff: believe me, I would have LOVED some Goblin Green. If these weren't intended to fit with an existing army, I would have been all over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Very cool paint jobs. Those standard marines bring back a lot of memories. Especially the flames on the missile launchers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercus Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'd offer to send you my pot of goblin green paint, but it dried up too much to rescue. Great work on the veteran UM's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Cheers everyone I'd offer to send you my pot of goblin green paint, but it dried up too much to rescue.Great work on the veteran UM's! The only thing more retro than a pot of Goblin Green is a dried-up pot of Goblin Green. Nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I might have one kicking around as well, actually. I should look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Loving the retro Ultramarines, especially the checkers on the Terminator's fist! Any more on the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Loving the retro Ultramarines, especially the checkers on the Terminator's fist! Any more on the way? Thanks, and yes - more Ultramarines with more checkers! Wrapped up the Sternguard today: http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y362/stuartziarnik/Sternguard_zpsfiol9f6d.jpg Here's the collection of them together: http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y362/stuartziarnik/UM20Army_zpsczwst2mc.jpg This will be it for now. That said, I've got a stash of obscure Marines who will eventually be painted up as retro Imperial Fists. Keep your eyes peeled . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your eyes peeled . . . I am liking where this is going. Great job on the Sternguard. It is not easy making those marines look good, and you have done a fantastic job. Love the laurels on the helms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
