Heresy'ish Ultramarines + Primaris

[Cruor Vault]

EDIT:  I finished a number of other projects so I figured I would turn this into a "stuff I've finished recently thread" rather than making a bunch of new topics.  Much of my army tries to keep the subdued ascetic of the Heresy Era Ultramarines.  I added a few things like the tabards and crests to many of the primaris units in my army.

 

I got a Fire Raptor from Ebay at a rather steep discount several years ago.  The casting quality was...  not great. 

 

So it sat in my closet for years before I got bored enough to give it a shot.

 

Today I finished it!

It looks awesome! You did a great job!

[Son of Carnelian]

She's a beaut! 

[Mazer Rackham]

Exceptional.

 

MR.

[PeteySödes]

Wonderful work! Congrats on beating the fear and creating something amazing brother!

[Hfran Morkai]

Lovely blue there.

[Pearson73]

Smashing work.

[Hfran Morkai]

And in fact the white is glorious as well.

 

If I was to do Ultramarines I would certainly try and emulate your work here.

[Yosef Hausakluif]

Really came together nice: the directional exhaust streaking and weathering really work well.

Reminds me of a 40K A-10 thunderbolt/warthog on steroids!

Comes in for a low level pass and....BBBBBRRRRPPPPP!

No more bad guys.

[Hfran Morkai]

It's like a love child between the A10 and AC130 and therefore glorious.

The Xyphon was all the heat for the first year of 8th edition.  It won me a LOT of games in California GTs until it got a significant point increase.  For the last couple of years it's been sitting in my display case gathering dust with just the bare minimum of colors slapped on it.

 

After I finished the Fire Raptor I figured I would put in the last few hours of work to get it 100% done.

Excellent work on the flyers.

[Cruor Vault]

I did a couple of Executioners a few weeks ago.  Two regular Repulsors to accompany them are currently in progress.

 

 

The main weapon is magnetized.

 

 

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Repulsor Executioners.

[Cruor Vault]

I did the bodies of these two a longtime ago, but never got around to finishing the magnetized Lascannon arms until recently.

 

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Contemptor Dreadnoughts. Your efforts honor the Primarch.

[Cruor Vault]

A pair of Invictors.  These guys are amazing in nearly every game!

 

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the Invictors.

Storm Eagle, with tons of carbon damage on it to cover just how badly the gold Ultima on the wings turned out.

 

 

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the gunship.

[Cruor Vault]

More finished units today.  Working through my backlog of '3-color minimum' victims.

Amazing stuff!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Dreadnoughts.

Spent a few hours today and finished of my Primaris Calgar and a slightly converted Chaplain Cassius.

 

 

 

I'm not super thrilled with his gauntlets, but I reached a point of diminishing returns.  At this point the bits i'm not happy with aren't visible at tabletop distances.

 

 

Deathwatch Overkill Cassius converted with a combi-flamer to be 40K correct.
