WiP what do you guys think.

Pretty good.

Lovely attention to detail with lighting, shade, rivets and some grim.

But my eyes tend to have a problem with solid chapter/legion colours. I just can't see panels as not being different, or whole vehicles being one colour.

A bit more white. Some Metalic shades to what is mechanical or paneling and not ceramite armour.

But most will ask for weathered effects, a little damage, and some dry brushing.

To me, solid blue or solid any faction colour is just too much.

Looks just about perfect. Love the "hazard stripes." Love the lack of weathering and battle damage (I've always liked my models in "parade ready" condition). I can see the complaint about too much of the blue, so maybe those little panels along the tops of the tracks could be a different accent color?

Anyways, great job!

It looks fine, but that blue needs breaking up. Rather than repainting any panels you could decorate it. Brass etch, decals and all sorts of bits can be stuck onto a vehicle to make it look less plain.

thanks for all the great ideas, keep in my its stil WiP

That is a really pretty vehicle.

I think it'll be fine if you put the Ultramarine chapter logos on the larger empty areas.

Seconding the Chapter Logos, maybe a two U's right on the front track guards. Also i want.

Weren't legion era vehicles and marines more plain though than 40k ones?
Only thing this needs other than some dust are some chapter symbols and unit markings and the front window painted.
It's a really nice model - reminds me of the batman vehicle - tumbler?

Small update

Honestly, they're painted very well but they don't look much like Ultramarines. No chapter symbols, dark blue instead of a medium/light blue, red accents instead of white or gold. They honestly look more like Night Lords than Ultramarines. Not that that's a bad thing.

However, I think you need something to make them look more like Ultramarines if you're going for Ultramarines. Right now they don't really fit any Legion's aesthetic.

Darth is right about putting iconography on them. Otherwise, I think they look great and definitely like Ultramarines. I've always preferred darker Ultras over the brighter toon style.

Wow not only are those kits great I like what you did with them!

Here is some better light. I think that's what was wrong with the last pic. In still waiting on forgeworld transfers.

Progress

Looking good. Gold/yellow trim is 2nd great company, right?

Good eye. Yeah 2nd company. Even though I want to do pre heresy legion. In gonna try and make it work for 30k and 40k

I think the blue looks really clean and bold, it's a nice shade. Of it does seem a bit too plain, some ultramarine decals in white will contrast well.

should you place the Ultramarine chapter trademarks about the greater bare areas.

Great stuff! The Termies in particular are epic!
