tagsta Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Nice job on a cool sculpt. I've always wondered though, is his body the same scale as a regular plastic marine? It looks a little small but maybe its just an illusion caused by his high headgear and high held bolter. thanks. you're right. the sculpt is definitely kinda weird... the marine looks really big compared to an ordinary marine but that's just because of the headgear... now I'm going to have to dust off all those unfinished ultras sitting on my shelf and do something really cool too! lol. thanks :D hope you (and other ultra players) are going to start as soon as possible.. I'm currently running out of ideas...

Smith Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Tagsta. Your models are some of the best I have ever seen. Ever. I can tell you have put sooo much though into what you have created. I can only hope that I can produce some fantastic models like you have done. You are a true inspiration to me and I can guess that you are to alot of other people from this forum and the others that I have seen your stuff on. Great work.

Captain Loken Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Did Invictus die and Agemman take his place? Or am I missing something? My apologies if this has already been mentioned or if I'm mistaken, I just thought that Invictus was the 1st company Captain...

The Emperor's Champion Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 QUOTE(CM Dante @ Aug 8 2006, 10:54 PM) * QUOTE thanks! hope that'll motivate you to finish more of your cool looking ultras The other idea thats been brewing is to begin a project I've considered calling "the captains of the Ultramarines" inspired partly by your creations of Agemman and from reading the Ultra's novels by Graham MacNiell (I'm sure I've spelt that wrong..). Basically I was thinking of converting up and painting the captains of the 10 companies of the Ultramarines chapter. It appeals to my two main interests in mini painting: painting characters and converting unique looking mini's. Strange..I had exactly the same idea! I already did WIP versions of Invictus, Agemman(already finished), Ideaus and Ardias... Ventris will be added later msn-wink.gif QUOTE Keep up the good work, its really helping! stange how motivation processes work. whenever I look in doghouse's thread I want to start a pre heresy tongue.gif force... LOL, me too!! I started that project a few days ago! :) :D Captain Loken, read this post I made a week ago: Ultramarine Captains Update ;) Tagsta: 1) Where do you get the head you used for Agemman? :P 2) Are Terminator Apothecaries legal now and I just somehow missed it??? :P 3) Methinks you should make the Standard Bearer a bit more flashy and ornamental. Afterall, every Standard Bearer has earned his Laurels award for extreme heroics and they each bear the title of "Ancient" (not just the Chapter Banner Bearer). ;) 4) Your Ultramarines are some of the most awesome minis I've ever seen. Truely inspiring. ^_^ 5) *crys* *wishes his painting skill hadn't got out of practice* -_- Anyhow, can anyone point me to a description of Captain Agemman and if possible give me that excerpt? Is there such thing? *likes smilies too much today* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85093-tagsta-presents-1st-company-ultramarines/page/4/#findComment-1081647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Invictus die and Agemman take his place? Or am I missing something? exactly... just take a look at the link The Emperor's Champion posted ;) my force represents the 1 Company AFTER the tyrannic war so Agemman has to be the captain ^^... 1) Where do you get the head you used for Agemman? huh.gifIts from the Command Squad's Sergeant 2) Are Terminator Apothecaries legal now and I just somehow missed it??? unsure.gif nope they aren't.... I just wanted to do a nice and fluffy conversion... Took Inspiration from Nephelim's Golden Demon entry... 3) Methinks you should make the Standard Bearer a bit more flashy and ornamental. I try to improve him in the future.. I'm not completely satisfied with his right arm... again, thanks for your kind comments... :) I try to keep you updated ;) there will be a army shot after the Land Raiders are re-painted ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85093-tagsta-presents-1st-company-ultramarines/page/4/#findComment-1081752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you eventually have 200 infantry models? 100 PA, 100 Termie Armour? 3. Please post updated pics of your sicarius. ;) NT sorry for double posting but somehow my browser wasn't able to quote NurgleThing's post :blush: 1. thanks ;) magnets can be really useful if you want to swap weapons in certain games ;) 2. no. This is going to be a army with 50 percent of TDA and another 50 of ordinary power armoured marines...(BUT only up to 3000P excluding the 750 points of the thunderhawk ^^) Maybe there will be a Deathwing Confiuration if I have finished enough Termis.. Why did I do every HQ mini twice? The reason is that it is fluffy (The Commander of the first doesn't wear his TDA every minute/in every single battle, just because he is the Commander of the first ;))It is also great for campaigns... You can better integrate your characters in special scenarios if you are able to swap their armour/weapons or their retuine.... 3. Ok ;) as soon as he is finished ;) greetz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85093-tagsta-presents-1st-company-ultramarines/page/4/#findComment-1081755 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajo79 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 :) That's some awesome Ultramarines! Looking realy realy good. May I ask how long time one of these takes to paint? It's kinda good to hear you can accomlish the blue color in just 2 layers. I try and do it in 2 as well but I can't paint that good. Absolutly love that scenery picture with the added effects. I think I'm gonna steal the idea of having colored line at the bottom of the parchments, if that's ok. :) Good work!

Cptn. Palladorus Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Brilliant work, Tagsta! Truly some of the best UMs I've ever seen, and very encouraging to me about to start my own UM 3rd company using the same method for the blue, considering with a little caffeine to settle my nerves I have quite good brush control. Would it be at all possible to get a closer look at that dread with the lascannons on each side and the missiles on top? I'm a nut for converted or scratchbuilt versions of old marks and prototypes.

turelhim vampire Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Quite possibly the best ultramarines I've ever seen. Wow, just, wow. Where'd you get the head for the Chaplain Lazarus mini? I've been wondering for ages where that head is from. Is it the new tactical squad upgrate sprue? I'd like to see a dread actually pulling off a complex movement instead of the standard pose of it just standing there B) You mean like THIS? Also NemFX - Now I am going to have to write a list with 47 heavy bolters wedged in it somehow. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85093-tagsta-presents-1st-company-ultramarines/page/4/#findComment-1217115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Well, I was honestly hoping for something more out of Gundam Wing, but yeah I guess that works too. I dunno, I still wanna see dreadnaughs doing stuff that they probably couldn't do. Poses from assault marine conversions and the like.
