Plasma gunner came out well, the champion looks great! Definitely agree it's the pose that makes him stand out.

Are you going to run him as a plasma gun in your command squad? Rapid fire and no charging is not fun. Or are they a counter?

That Champion is gorgeous, totally stealing the idea for my Ultramarines (also stealing that plasma gunner idea) if you don't mind?

Heyo! So the Hammer vet is done - leaving just the apothecary to be finished. Went for a marble effect on the hammer, and sort of just improvised from there rather pleased with the result though.

Sorry that the images are a smidge dark - it was 7pm when I took them but I was so eager to get them while the sun was still around

It always amazes me how there are 40+ page blogs on here that I have somehow missed, this is excellent work all round. Beautiful, beautiful painting. The veteran command squad is looking excellent.

Again with the serious attitude in these marines' poses! You can tell they don't intend to be taking many prisoners!

Proper good stuff!

I love the marble effect on that hammer. Looks amazing.

I always look forward when a new post is added to this thread, your Ultramarines kinda make me want to re-do my Ultramarine army that I sold last year sometime in the future.

I can’t see how you can stand to have these guys on your shelf. The overwhelming detail, excessive painting, individuality. Shameful. Not what marines should look like. Now, as your friend, I’d be willing to trade them from you for some 2nd ed snap fits, so you could actually have some guys suitable for play. Clean and regimented. I’ve got some spares.

The marble on his hammer is so well done, looks very real. Love the way he came out! Apothecary will be fun to paint!

That is incredible. The marble effect is just great.
Slight bit of constructive criticism; the white on the "U" on the shoulderpad is slightly thick and blotchy in places. Though to be honest, everyone's looking at that sweet TH. Not the shoulderpads.

Excellent work on the marble affect foe the hammer head.

Another great mini.

Woohoo! They're finally complete. Bloody chuffed that this milestone has finally been reached - a intense 10 or so days of painting detailed minis was quite the job! But it doesn't stop here. Onto my entry for Nerdfest's painting comp

That cape looks super realistic, has a really nice flow to it. You have interesting weapon choices my friend. No Shield Eternal for him so he doesn't get insta killed before or after swinging that mighty fist?

I have too much faith in 2+ with a meager invuln
also the command squads job is to soak up most of the damage until the hammer and fist get their jobs done

Great use of a powerfist that requires a bit of consideration to uitilise well on a model. It looks like he's bracing for an impact which is a cool and slightly unusual pose.
