Hi Guys,

Its been a while since Ive posted on here but Ive been busy concentrating on a Ultramarines army. There are quite a few pics here but I hope you all like them. Cheers

Looks like they have been through hell and back. Nice work there. Are you going to do more?

Im planning to do the entire 2nd Company with a few 1st company members too. As a reward for if I ever finish this little project im going to save up for a Thunderhawk from Forgeworld

I really like the Land Raider, but the infantry looks great as well. I don't really have a lot of criticism.

Thanks mate. Ill be posting up more pictures as I progress with my project

They look great! Awesome work! What paint/techique did you use to achieve such a vibrant blue?

It was a base of Caledor Sky, then a Drakenhof Nightshade wash. Once dry go over the armour plates again with Caledor Sky and edge highlight with Calgar Blue, then glaze with gullimans blue

Looks good! I like all the battle damage on them really good!
Also thanks for letting us know how you painted them seems really quick and ends up with a nice effect!

I should also say that once the glaze was dry I added a very light drybrush of Screaming Skull, it gives it the dusty work effect

They have been through the ringer. Very nice work.

Love it. Ultramarines get a lot of flak from the 40k crowd for being "the gold standard" or "poster boys" or whatever, but I have to think that's because when they are painted well, they really do stand out and look fantastic.

Yours, btw? Painted very well. I am jelly of that landraider especially. That's one of the best land raiders I've seen that isn't (or at least doesn't appear to be) airbrushed all the way.

No airbrush work at all on any of these. I dont own one. Me and my wife only live in a flat and she woudnt be happy with an airbrush making loads of noise while she is watching TV ha ha!

Thanks for the comments though, I did enter the Land Raider into a local GW competition but it didnt win. The Fire Raptor that did win was awesome though.

Gritty battle worn Astartes, well painted indeed. Are those the Forge World doors on the tank?

They are the Forgeworld doors. I wanted this to be a command Land Raider so made a bit more effort on it

Thanks for all of the feedback everyone. I'll update the thread as I finish more models.

Great battle worn look to them.
