Back Working On Ultramarine Figures

[Redrandy93]

Brothers,

 

After almost 2 years of not working on my pile of shame I have decided I would start another UM company.     This is the Third Company.    I built 90 % of the command squad for it and some Devastors..    I got tired of looking at the 19 sm figures on my desk that needed work.   So far I am working on 10 Devastor troops with bolters, and 10 tactical marines.    Spent a few hours today painting the 3d printed shoulder pads with the UM and tactical squad symbols, 16+ bolters and associated arms.   In addition 2 missile launcher troops for tactical squads.   I already have several sgts. built and painted.     Note I was using GW paint for the men in blue and felt the Macragge Blue was too dark.   I then tried using Contrast UM blue and was not happy with it either.   I found i had a bottle Coat d'arms #148 Marine blue and was happy with that.    I am painting by hand.   The new figures match what I did years ago.    On ebay i bought 3 more bottles of #148 marine Blue as I will make a full company.
