ToyShip Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) XIII New project time! I was unhappy with how the Dark Angels I started a few months ago were looking, black is such a hard color to get right. So after much waffling, and a generous donation of reinforcements, I have decided to start the legion I love most, the Ultramarines. The late Republican-era Roman vibes I get from them are some of my favorite in the Heresy. Currently I am working on 1000pts for Zone Mortalis and Centurion play, but I will expand (Emperor knows I have the models at this point!). Anyway, here are a couple more pictures of this fella: Looking forward to showing everyone the progress on this army, I am set up and ready to go!

Pearson73 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 That's really nice blue and some really nice subtle weathering. How will you base them and what's up on the painting table?

Tyrannicide Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Looking awesome! Any idea which direction you want to go with your army's units? Shield wall, elite-heavy, basic tactical bois?

ToyShip Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 That's really nice blue and some really nice subtle weathering. How will you base them and what's up on the painting table? Thanks a lot! For the bases I am waffling between ship decking and blasted ruins (charred Doric columns and marble…Calth/Shadow Crusade themed). The first item on the agenda is to complete the two 10 man Tactical squads to go along with this fella then a Contemptor. After that will probably be some vets, breachers, heavy support squad, or Invictarii. Haven’t quite decided on the HQ yet, probably a Delegatus. Looking awesome! Any idea which direction you want to go with your army's units? Shield wall, elite-heavy, basic tactical bois? Thanks man! Currently I am going for a mix between a Tactical Company and Shield-Wall. Trying to decide if I want to have them as a ship-based company that was present at Calth or a more defensive occupying force from one of the handful of Chapters that wasn’t present at Calth. Aside from the core blocks of the army I think that will influence the unit decisions moving forward.

Pearson73 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Sounds like a good plan, gives you a nice core to expand from. Invictarii are cool indeed.

Chaeron Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Currently I am working on 1000pts for Zone Mortalis and Centurion play, but I will expand (Emperor knows I have the models at this point!). Turning a theoretical into a practical! Sounds like a great plan - and love the tester marine. Looking forward to what comes next!
