Just some pics of my Ultramarines.

They look really nice - in particular like the first captain.

Great work!

The first Captain is Cato Sicarius (the Special Character)

=)

Which I found out yesterday is no match for Ghazkhull Thraka..

=(


Nice painting though. It seems in some places the hardlining is a bit brutal, like on Telion's glove, but most of it is really nice work, especially Telion's face.

Edit: Edited from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

One of the best Smurf's armies i have seen.
I love how you highlight them.

YAY!

My first compliment on my light highlights paint scheme!

It was my intention to have super bold highlights on a dark undercoat =)

thank you

I really like the cloaks on the scouts.Nice job all round.

Been awhile since I've updated so I thought I might put my command squad up.

The only issue I have with the models is the lines you can see on the dread. Other than that these are by far the best painted models I have commented on.

I'm tired of seeing crappy models on here and seeing comments like "man that is so cool" when they suck.

Nice job and keep up the great work!

Bases are incredable!

As much as I hear griping about everyone playing ultrapuppies, this is probably the first thread I've seen for them. You do a wonderful job, and I'd love to play against any force painted as well as this one. Though I must agree with Gordino, the highlighting is very blunt in places.

Not so sure what you mean exactly by the lines on the dread, but it was a 'recycled' dread from my brother, Didn't really know how to strip plastic models so I didn't bother =)

As for the Highlighting on these bad boys it's all very experimental. Haven't really ever painted an army in this way and they are fairly rushed, buuut practice makes perfect.

I'm also gonna do a tutorial for bases, I've seen far too many crappy bases, and in my opinion it's what makes a miniature look fantastic!

Very smurfy... good job.

looks awesome

Man those are awesome! I love the extra details you've done on the armour, and the effect on the swords are great. The company champion is definitely my favorite of the bunch, some beautiful freehand on the shoulder!

That powersword is something I've never seen before, how did the painting process go on that?

You've got some great work there... I like your dreadnought plenty.

The power weapons excite me in ways I haven't felt in years.

I'm enjoying the bold highlights, because I think they're only an issue when you grab the mini and stick it close enough to lick.

Though, from a distance, they do make the mini look more tasteable.

Looking forwards to more.

finally I've got some more pics of my up and coming 2nd company..

Dont feel bad, Thraka is one of those unstoppable forces, things your hear so much about lol.


VERY nice job. I like to make fun of the Ultra Marines as much as the next guy, but wow. Very nice army. I really like the crazy way you made the power weapons

You ought to be painting the in-store demo models at a GW store, yours are far better.

You seem to have a really good aptitude for bold highlighting. Do you have any advice on how you painted this scheme (especially the standard)? Is your basecoat Necron Abyss, by the way, or is it something lighter like Regal Blue?

QFT

your power weapons are one of the coolest things i have seen in a very long time
and that Pred is amazing

I plan to make my own sternguard vets next so I'm thinking I might do a whole start to finish thing, right from assembly to paint.

Good Work.

Im wondering how you painted that predator tank?

maby you should move this over to p&m blogs? Jus a suggestion.

All very, very nice work. A little busy, but very good looking, especially as a whole.

These are really good, crisp and clean, I actually love them for smurfs

The predator is outstanding!!

which part exactly..?

i could jus write out a step by step of the whole thing if you want?

Specifically the blues, like the basecoat the and the edge highlighting/shadowing.
