betrayer41 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 OK people, I'm building my Militia to go along side my Astartes. Question is: would the mortal forces of Ultramar display the "U" of the Legion? I was thinking of adding it to vehicles etc. I'm going for a khaki scheme with a blue stripe here and there for contrast. YASSSS khaki would look great with your guys!

Ishagu Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I think they would show the U, yes. I'd probably paint them in Ultramarine colours but it's entirely up to you :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307186-juds-heresy-era-forces-of-ultramar/page/13/#findComment-4456123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runefyre Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm with Ishagu, I plan on using Ultra decals for my future militia. Afa paint scheme, I think tan could be cool. I'm flip flopping between Ultra blue, black, or inverted ultra colors (white armour, blue insignias etc.). Also what do folks think about using Anvil's industries Regiments models as VO?

I'd probably paint them in Ultramarine colours but it's entirely up to you :-) Thanks Ishagu, that's what I was hoping! I'll post a pic once I've done a test model.

Runefyre, if you like the Anvil Industry regiments go for it! I've only used bits and bobs from them but I've been impressed with the quality. All I have to do now is wait for the post!!

Ishagu Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Inverted Ultra colours is an awesome idea (though painting white is still tough imo), or something less flashy than the regular Marines. Perhaps mostly Grey with blue highlights and the White U symbol?

Wolf Lord Loki Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I personally would say only use the U sharing to show an astartes has deemed them worthy. Remember even the ultras were snobs about non-astartes. What about the laurals of ultramar? White laurals on a blue band? Visually similar in shape and ties in with the armies but different and distinct at the same time? :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307186-juds-heresy-era-forces-of-ultramar/page/13/#findComment-4457568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hmmm, thanks mate. Makes sense, the Legion might want the distinction of wearing the U exclusively. I'll have a look see if I can find any decals with laurels. I'm sure I have some somewhere!

noigrim Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Since the ultima is also the symbol of the realm of ultramar they MUST wear it!

Nemac Vradon Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Great looking army you have here Jud. I like the subtle difference of using the pale blue, have not seen that before :tu: If it helps at all, I painted an Imperial Guard for the base of my Renegade Knight and used Ultramarines Blue. I wanted him to be instantly recognisable as a member of the human forces on Calth. Anyway the picture may help you decide on a colour scheme :) Hope it helps at all.

Reyner Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 You could have a quick skim through Know No Fear and Pharos to see what the Imperial Army guys in those books have uniform wise? There are a few pictures of Calth Imperial Army troopers in the Collected Visions book, one set look like generic Catachans and another uses the old school urban camo pattern that the Cadian Shock Troops used to rock.

The Pounder Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Since the ultima is also the symbol of the realm of ultramar they MUST wear it! A point confidently made! I'll use the Ultima symbol then, after all I do have plenty of decals for it! Great looking army you have here Jud.

I'm forming an idea of how I want them to look now, thanks. Reyner, will do. I can read up while I'm waiting for my delivery!

The Pounder Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 I've finished my first Grenadier for my Ultramar Militia.I tried to go for a khaki scheme, the grey fatigues tieit in to the basing and blue helmet and shoulder pads toconnect them to the XIIIth.This is the test model, opinions and suggestions would bevery welcome.Ultramar Grenadier Ultramar Grenadier Ultramar Grenadier Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307186-juds-heresy-era-forces-of-ultramar/page/13/#findComment-4468367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 This is something very similar to what I had in mind for Solar Auxilia allies. I might just start some myself!

The Pounder Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 You should! These will be part of my Vigil Opertii Mission. Though eventually I'd like them to be a force in their own right. I'll probably flesh the army out with some Cadians. Since getting the book I've wanted to add some Ultramar Militia to my collection. The main reason is the Sentinel walkers! (I just love the models) I plan on getting at least 6!

Awesome paint scheme Jud, I'm gonna be shooting for a white/blue (sorta inverted Ultra colors). Are you planning to use Cadians without head swaps, 'cause they look kinda clunky and dumb for a Ultramarine initiates imo. On the other hand, there aren't too many options that fit Cadian bodies (at least that I've found).

Ishagu Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Lol so I had a look at old Tempest and I'm liking the idea of 3 Sentinels with Las or Auto Cannons, also like the idea of adding a Malcador but the rules are inferior to the one in the new Legion book :-( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307186-juds-heresy-era-forces-of-ultramar/page/13/#findComment-4470382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runefyre Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 How is it that inferior? Sure it doesn't have battle speed or Sub-A reacter, but it comes stock with autocannons everywhere and it still has access to flare shield/armoured ceramite/siege plating. Overall I think it's a pretty good deal. The colour scheme looks great Jud . Looking forward to seeing a unit of them together! Nemac Thanks alot! Glad people like it.

A Militia allied contingent could literally be blobs of men and a few Armoured Sentinels :-D That's pretty much what I was going for! 2 blobs of 20 Grenadiers ,backed up with Sentinels and a Leman Russ tank. For the Ultramamarines, 2 tactical squads in Rhinos, 9 Suzerain with Praetor and 2 Sicarans. Then of course the planetary Governor and Vigilator. Should be fun to play with and against. Exactly how I envision the 13th's reserve militia for the RoW. Looking awesome! Sentinels would be a hugely fluffy thing for them My thoughts exactly! As soon as I saw the Sentinels were in the list I thought "must have!"
