This will be my Army of The Year entry for a contest at my local game club (Vimmerby Wargaming). Im very happy with how it turned out, but tell me what you think. C&C are very much welcome

Can you se the tyranid?

(sorry for crappy pics)

The blue is a bit darker than Ultramarines normally are maybe?
They all look very good though, especially the lenses on the vehicles. Is the 'nid being stepped on by the Chaplain? Good luck for your contest too.

Looks great, good luck!

I like the darker blue. It's how Ultras were first painted.

I think adding some grass to the display base would help unify it even more with the minis. Good stuff all around.

Sweet! i particularly love that sergeant with the half cybernetic face, i have a model similar to what you did there. nice army, and landscape to go with it!

Thanks all!

I liked the darker blue better on the ultras so thats why I painted them that way.

Is the 'nid being stepped on by the Chaplain?

Thats true but there is anotherone hiding on the displayboard somewhere. (the pics are quite blurry now but if you look closely you can see it)

The tyranid is in the first pic, on the left hand outcrop sticking his head outside of the cave. Nice painting by the way!

The darker blue looks so great on Ultramarines.

The blue looks very dark. I almost thought that they were supposed to be Crimson Fists for a second. No real flaw with your work though. Great stuff. You seem to be into really heavy weathering, and you seem pretty good at it, although I'm not a connoisseur of weathering, though, since I personally don't like it. (I think the majority of wargamers do though, unless I misremember the last poll I saw on the subject.) You seem like you have a lot of skill though, so I'm sure you'll get some good response from observers. Great stuff!

I prefer the darker blue on Ultramarines. It especially fits with the gritty, battle-worn look you went for.

Love it, very realistic. Good luck in your contest and always remember courage and honor.
