It is standard practise amongst the Thirteenth Legion to have a squad leader under the direct command of the sergeant. Having demonstrated inititative, fieldcraft abilities, understanding of strategic and tactical elements and command potential even above regular Astartes, these warriors are fully capable of effectively commanding their brethren in the field of battle. This is eased by every Ultramarine's spectacular resourcefulness and discipline.


Wearing an Honorific belt buckle taken from a suit of Thunder Armour, Squad Leader Eumon appears to be directing his brethren's fire. Note the frag and krak grenades slung from his belt and the Meditation Notes pinned to his shoulder pauldron.


This view shows the nameplate honorific on Eumon's left pauldron.

He's going to be part of a larger force – here's most of the first squad:

Looks suitably beefy

Those are nice! I wanna see them painted!
Good job Cpl_Saint!

Hm. I recommend checking Visions of Darkness (a Horus Heresy art/fluff book). It has lots of pictures of smurfs, use their armour as a guide.

That's some nice, clean GS-work! Although some more adornment on the different
parts might make it look less 'platt' (is that an english word?)

Keep up the good work!

al-Majid Agandhjin bin Ahfal al-Rashid

I agree with above statement, it could use some adornment. Overall, they look good; I especially like the helmets.

can you do a how to guide for the helmets because i love them also did you have any source pictures for the helmets

There are numerous examples in the Horus Heresy artbooks.

These guys look great but something is nagging me are they based off terminator bodies?

The legs certainly are, though not sure about the torsos.

It is a fairly common way to "True Scale" marines...

These look very nice!

Did SM really need to be buffed up?

No, but it looks nive, although like Alpharius I am not sure about the torsos. What I would like to se is one of them really buffed marines, like in much of their artwork.

Veteran Brother Eumon:

Brother Eumon is shown here directing the fire of his brethren. Note the jury-rigged steel plate across the vulnerable piping of the Mark II armour, and the black halo encircling the inverted omega of the Ultramarines on his Thunder Armour belt buckle. This represents the fleet of Macragge, and indicates Eumon has crewed a starship.

Numerous medallions, honorifics and details cover his breastplate: his right as a veteran.


Eumon's personal heraldry shows the diagonal split of Calth, with a gold and black cogged background indicating his support by one of the Techniclans. This is surmounted by a red Iron Halo, marking him out as a squad leader.

Note also the Meditations - two sets mark him out as particularly devoted to the teachings if the Primarch.


This angle shows the Legion heraldry - the inverted Omega of the Ultramarines. Inside this is the squad number. To the lower left is the Chapter number (in this case, 15), and to the lower right is the squad designation: tactical.

Note also Eumon's personalised boltgun, inscribed with 'Calth'. Numerous members of the Fifteenth Chapter were drawn from the militaristic areas of Calth, which gave the Chapter its honorific: The Praetors of Calth.

In Eumon's case, he is almost certainly a Terran veteran, and this boltgun casing may have been granted to him by an admiring artificer, as a personal gift from one of his brethren, or as an honour granted by his Captain on his promotion to squad leader.

............ thats some straight epic work you got going there...

Keep it up!! It looks so great.

Also, I thought I might stick this in here. http://ca.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.ca?do=Individual&code=99110101370&orignav=10

that looks awsome I love the helmet and the painting on the shoulder pads looks awsome

Very impressed with the paint job.

I wasn't really sure at the greenstuff stage but you've pulled it off with the painting.

Keep up the good work.

Good the conversion job and good the paint job.
A very good good job.

Excellent work. My only concern is the size of the bolters in relation to the rest of the marine. They look a bit on the weedy side, especially on the models holding them with both hands.

wow thats one of the coolest conversions ive ever seen

That turned out great keep up the good work.

Wow...thats.....just incredible.

With all apologies to the honey smacks guy....i diggum!!
