Theduke08 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Im debating starting a 1000-1500 pt Ultramarine force. I started by painting up an Honor guard model as a test mini. I know most people aren't to keen on Honor guard but I'm not going to put together a competitive list. Just a fun list.

Thunder_god Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Very nice looking! The gold helm is really good looking. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331883-2nd-company-wip/#findComment-4681576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 He looks great. And I wouldn't discount Honor Guard on the table so easily. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331883-2nd-company-wip/#findComment-4682101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
derLumpi Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Looking good! Gold is not that easy but it doesn't look flat a boring at all! I like it! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331883-2nd-company-wip/#findComment-4682267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Anyone have any suggestions for my Honor Guard squad? Im thinking about using them as an anti-infantry role. 2 Swords 2 Mauls And maybe a relic blade on the champ, possibly just a sword. Im planning on putting them with Sicarius in a razorback.

derLumpi Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ultramarine HG used to be about axes! More axes brother! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331883-2nd-company-wip/#findComment-4683557 Share on other sites More sharing options...

casb1965 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 He looks great. And I wouldn't discount Honor Guard on the table so easily. Totally agree especially if you use the Victrix Guard formation to gain +1 on their BS and WS. Throw in Sicarius for Furious Charge and FNP and it becomes a solid anti-infantry unit.

IronDrake28 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Only Sicarius himself has Furious Charge and FNP. A psyker or even tiggy can help a lot though.

Theduke08 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Finished Honor guard #2. Not sure how I like the counts as power maul/axe. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331883-2nd-company-wip/#findComment-4687487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Ed Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I like it. I think the problem is that he's holding it "backward." The spike on an English warhammer is traditionally used secondarily.

WarriorFish Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 These make for some great HG - they nice on the table top too. A bully unit perhaps, but they're rather good at it Plus you can argue that most things need the right target to do well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331883-2nd-company-wip/#findComment-4696033 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogfender Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Looking good! Always excited to see your updates. Are you finding your newest HG is smaller with those HH legs vs the deathwatch ones? Kinda hard to tell in the pictures but are they slightly battle damaged? What's your gold recipe?

Theduke08 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Looking good! Always excited to see your updates. Are you finding your newest HG is smaller with those HH legs vs the deathwatch ones? Kinda hard to tell in the pictures but are they slightly battle damaged? What's your gold recipe? Yea the newest HG member is a little shorter. Im not sure if its the way the legs are posed or if the deathwatch legs are that much taller. They are a little bit battle damaged. All i do is use a little piece of sponge to get that effect. My gold recipe is Retributor Armour, wash with reikland fleshshade and agrax. Then use Retributor Armour again while adding silver to lighten it up. Im starting a Shadow wars team as well and im making some progress on my first scout.

Seahawk Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Nice paint! Though it looks like he's dropping his mag in the dust lol. The camo cloak should be resting on his shoulders as well, but if you like it then who am I to say anything. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331883-2nd-company-wip/#findComment-4715892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
