I dont like UM

Good for you.

This army looks superb (some of the best marines I have seen in a while; Ultramarines or not), and it's refreshing to see someone take a chapter established in the fluff and build/convert/paint a jaw-dropping army for it.

I love the vibrant 'eye poppin' colors used in this Ultramarine Army.

Awesome job!

Really is a gorgeous army. Its clear that you put in a ton of effort and its really paid off. You really capture the soul of the chapter; this is not as easy with UM as with say...dark angels or space wolves.

Great looking army.

The red contrast really grabs the eye.

I especially like the speeder fin conversions.

You not only have an awesome painting skill, you also seem to have a pretty nice phone camera

Then why did you post on this thread? Anyways, I'm still loving the um on the tread!

Very nice

I must say I am enjoying painting with blues at the moment also. Might have to do an Ultramarine commander or something after seeing these (another side project!)

Keep up the good work

They're beautifully painted, can't say i like the red weapons however...looks too gaudy.a black would look better.

The red cloaks are a really vibrant colour, good work!

Great painting!

Imp. Monkey

awesome work.

Can we get a group shot?!

Can we get a group shot?!

I will see if I can't take one tonight after work and post it

Okay, here is a picture of my entire army - 2 - there is a partially finished landraider and a based drop pod in the back...will be coming soon.

What are those things on the land speeder?? They look cool.

And who is the figure bottom left, only sprayed? Is it calgar, cos id like to see him painted like this!

The figure on the bottom left is going to be my 4th company captain - using rules of pedro Cantor - in previous page there is a picture of him not based...

The fins on the land speeder are plasticard -

Thats nice.....

To the dude who made this utterly awesome Ultramarines army dude that is some good work the lines the highlights the symmetry all works perfectly if that was arrayed against my frankly poorly painted army I would be embarassed.This has now inspired me to pick up my game.

So is this all you plan to have or are you going to expand...

Yet again good work and keep it up.

Demonslayer82 -Thanks for the compliments. The army is actually still a WIP.

My vision for the completed army - and it is big and will take a lot of time but....

Complete 2nd company - with 2 dreadnoughts - almost there
Thunderhawk Gunship - will buy later on
4th Company support - will be the captain you see, plus 2 squads with melta, multi sgt with combi melta and PFin drop pod
3rd Company support - will be Captain on Bike with command squad, PF and Storm Shields (have them but not painted); 1-2 full bike squads and an attack bike squad
1st Compan - 2-3 terminator squads (have 1.5 painted); 1 assualt termis with lightning claws; 3 with thunder hammer SS; 1 vangaurd no jump packs; 1 vangaurd with jump packs 2-3 stearngaurds
Tank Support: 2 LR - (painting 1) 1 LR Crusader (have need to assemble), One prometheous (the flame storm cannon one), one Las cannon apoc LR; 3 vindicators (have all, need to paint 2), 1 Predator, 3 whirlwinds, 3 iron clads, 1-2 more dreadnoughts - Master of the forge (total of 6-9 drop pods)

@Demonslayer82

I know what you mean. I recently had a game against this army and felt truly embarressed. On the table he had a total of 2 unpainted models, whereas I had about 2/3 of my army unpainted.

@Mray

I'm looking forward to the Bat Rep. Should make for a great read.

Interesting army composition for the WIP stuff I have one piece of advice dont over extend yourself with loads of massively fancy models get your rank and file and then command elements done and then go for the massive Forgeworld pieces etc etc.

@Lukus 83 Yea man I understand that feeling entirely when I used to heavily play back in 2006-2007 I used to cringe at some of the time put into pieces on my opponents side of the table.

wheres the lighnting claw vanguard vet?

this army of beautiful... like seriously

TOO MUCH AWESOME

Seriously I love your paint scheme and they look amazing.

MOAR pleez

hey mark. sweet!

are those army pics from the gaming store in shanghai? any shots from your game? glad you are still playing

I ran into an old friend at DW... aparently they are closing the battle bunker in glen bernie for good. they are relocating to TN, memphis :(

when are you coming back?

Have been working on multiple models at one time, so it has taken me some time to complete anything. However, I have recently completed the model I am going to be using for Pedro Kantor - I will basically stand him in for the 4th Company Captain - although I play 2nd company, in the future, i will likely paint up one or 2 tac squads in 4th company colors - besides, captains from other companies may command units from other companies.

I did previously post the kantor model i made - it is the most i worked with green stuff - the bolt gun feed was the most difficult part, but i think it came out ok - if i was a professional it probably would have come out better....

Additionally, I have completed my first assault terminator squad - this one has all thunder hammers and storm shields - i still have a lot of terminators to paint and will get to them...

The camera's flash is a bit much - the effect on the models just makes them a little brighter than they would be on the table...

Damn you work fast. Can't wait to see this bad boy on the table.

U might wanna paint that drop pod i see ^^

Drop pod is in progress - just highlighting now - as is the landraider...both should be done relatively soon....

Below are some pictures of my recently completed Iron Clad...Still have a few models in progress which i will post later....

The iron clad does not have any conversions, and i even used some of the transfers - the missiles are magnetized, which was a slight pain to do, but they come off and on really easily so it was worth it. .... Will be posting more soon.

Awesome, awesome stuff in here...

It is always impressive to see a large force of any army on the table together.

Doubly so for one like yours that is so well painted!

You my friend have done the ultramarines justice. Army looks awesome. I like you style better than most with the smurfs.

Keep up the incredible work!
