Glory to the Xiiith! (an ultramarines legion blog)

[mateus of ultramar]

Hello friends! ive been a Long time lurker and very occasional poster, that has now changed! Im in the process of mustering a rather massive legion force (I *think* im going to aim for about 10k points over the next 3 years or so) so Im going to utilize this as a gateway for critique and to show off where im at

 

at the moment I have quite a bit already finished as with this project i actually started back when the 'calth box released, but in the process of moving from california to washington, and not having space before then, progress was VERY slow, and I wasnt terribly focused on basing ideas or settled on a paint scheme, anywhoo, on with some pictures!

My legion Primus Medicae, had to get the limited models as I live now near a GW store

My Centurion, probably going to just use him as a tactical sargeant honestly

My Herald, probably could do well to go and redo the face, but Im happy with how he turned out

Master of Signals, this guy was a repaint cause I was incredibly unhappy with the former finish, much better now, little bit of a kitbash as well, cause damn those resin antennae

I Will eventually be having lore and fluff to go along with many of the units in this army, as well as Ill have more to share after Ive returned from work, thanks for looking friends!

Always good to see another legionnaire for the XIIIth! :D

 

I'm sure you know but your pics don't seem to be working. :P

[Supe robot gangster #1]

Haha yeah man! Your pics have been lost in the warp it seems! All I'm getting is a wall of nonsensical html coding

[Remus Ventanus.]

It seems your post has been corrupted by scrap code.... word bearers are near...

 

 

Looking forward to seeing this! I'm in need of some ultramarine inspiration:)

[Saphrael]

Good work mate, looking forward to seeing your squads.

 

Although, using an uppercase "X" and lowercase "iii" in your thread title makes me read it as a word, instead of Roman numerals. So now whenever I see this thread come up I'll hear "Glory to the Zeeeeth!" in a high pitched voice in my head.

 

Highly appropriate for the Ultrasmurfs.

So more images incoming brothers, Ill be getting to uploading my tactical marines tomorrow, but in the mean time, another bulk of my legion forces as they stand at the moment!

My Tartaros, now these guys, I LOVE these guys, these so far are the specialists of my army, lightning claws and volkite chargers, with a plasma blaster and chainfist, I will grow these guys up to a 10 man unit with the same equipment, there my legion hunters

And Lastly for tonight at least are my Cataphractii, these dudes are super basic and I meant for them to just be bullet sponges, ill throw an apothecary in with them for durability possibly in games, but I like how they came out.

 

again, stay tuned for more, Im in the process of painting a 5 my ryza lascannon squad, and after that ill tackle my 2nd contemptor, cheers brothers

Lovely stuff, the bright colours really stand out. That Primus Medicae and the Cataprachtii are real good. :)
