Kisada Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Looks amazing ... one thing though ... are those 32mm bases? doesn't seem like it ... you've done such a nice job on them ... maybe you should switch to 32mm before getting any deeper in?

Thrillhouse Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I agree with everything Kisada just said. Amazing painting! Also 32mm bases look better, unless you already decided to stay with 28mm bases you should switch before rather than later.

Thousand Eyes Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Yeah they don't look like 32mm bases but they do look very good as is. In saying that I am considering updating my Sons as well, but the thought of it makes me cry.

Augustus b'Raass Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I really don't care whether you use 32mm bases or not. I just think you have captured the 90's style of painting so, so very well. Dude. Memories....

Kalrath Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Thanks! Indeed they are 25mm bases. As for rebasing, I don't play that much (the nearest players are 250km away), and the "local" player base is quite relaxed on such issues, so, I don't feel the need.

Stoneheart Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Really nice Ultra's and lovely to see some 'retro' colours...reminds me of when I first started 40k - the yellow, red and blue Ultramarines featured heavily in the 3rd edition Tyranid codex. Looking forward to seeing how this army grows!

Brother Scruffy Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Welcome back. Like the mix of some old models here and there. Thanks! Glad to be back. Wow, ten years. I'm surprised you could remember your password. :P Old habits die hard! ;) Indeed they do. I too took a 10 year break and returned late last month. I was surprised my account still even Existed!

Mithrilforge Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Well count me watching, 10 years eh, like wow! 40k must seem very different for you now some good ...some bad... but oh so different...unlike your awesomesauce paintjobs this gives me that warm fuzzy feeling too (I'm a gamer from way back then too,and the ultra's tug at the fond memory cord) your turnaround time leaves me a wee bit jealous but hey well done to you . Consider me being Motivated to paint today simply from looking at your stuff.

Wraithwing Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Those are some lovely Ultramarines. I'm a sucker for a quality 2nd ed paint job, and you've pulled it off beautifully here.

Augustus b'Raass Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 No words for the memories, buddy. You've captured them wonderfully. Are you going to use transfers on them for Chapter and squad symbols?

Kalrath Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thank you! Yes I'm going to use transfers for the markings, but I'm still waiting for microsol and varnish.

I've been out of the hobby for a while, are 32mm bases standard for infantry now? Also Kalrath, those Marines look awesome! It feels odd not seeing them in the now traditional blue and gold, but I dig it!

Kalrath Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hi there! Progress has been a bit slow this year, but I'm getting there! The 3rd squad is 70% done: Still missing the Sergeant, Heavy and Special Weapons: Hope to have these finished by the end of the week.

Augustus b'Raass Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Aha! Saving the coolest models for last, eh? Nice work again on these beautiful 90's mini's. They really hit the hobby spot and bring out feelings of nostalgia. Love 'm!

Kalrath Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Indeed! Finished the 3rd Tactical Squad: I think these old guys hold their own with the others. Decals I'll do in the end.

Dosjetka Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Gorgeous! What is the next unit to go under your brush? Also, if you're still missing the helmet bit for Sicarius, I have one spare that I'd be willing to send over. Shoot me a PM if you're interested. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313765-old-dogs-new-tricks-space-hulk/page/2/#findComment-4407229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'd love to see you do a dreadnought in that style. Or one of those old oredators.

Sgt. Blank Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Awesome job on these - I like the mix of the old models in with the new ones. Your color scheme really takes me back to when I first picked up 40k back in the 90s but you've executed it as well as I've ever seen.
