So Captain Ventanus is ready to go.

Looking sweet as heck Sir. Statue is the bomb.

Excellent work on the banner dude. Is the plasma pistol a weapon swap I is that the standard configuration?

Thanks Fiendus, glad you like what's going on.

Cheese, it's a quick weapon swap. Think he had a sword to start with. I considered doing a head swap as well but my conversion skill stink.

Scouts are coming along.....

loively job on those cloaks 40kfsu

He is just awesome, nice job on that standard.

Excellent work on the cloaks.

EDC

Thanks again gents. Here's a quick finished shot of the scouts. And with that, I believe all the models are painted. Just need to finish that sea of bases you can see in the background.

And you know what, these scouts are not better quality than GW scouts, but they look cooler.

The Anvil scouts are great minis, as Jan said the cloaks are looking good. Any plans to add any camo to them?

The standard bearer is cracking, nice that you have found a place for the honour guard in your army.

Very cool scouts! They could easily he replacements for recon marines or even sniper mor deythan

Thraxas- Thanks man. But no plans for camo. I kinda like the solid cloaks. And all marine armies deserve an honor guard!

Ustrello- Agreed. I wish they would redo the scout marines. I like the concept but detest the models.

I'm impressed that the Captain managed to exceed even the usually impractical back banner with his desire for personal heraldry...

Really nice work though - how long do you think it'll take you to finish the bases and get everyone on them?

Thanks Dysartes. Although one would think the Captain would eventually put the damn thing down and get to proper fighting. Oh well, Ultramarines. Right? Anyway, the bases aren't particularly difficult or time consuming. I have probably 2/3 or them finished. The time is gonna come when I put the markings on them. Maybe another week if work cooperates.

All the bases!

EDC

Very cool! I have always liked your bases and it seems like that trend will continue

Bases looking fabulous, as always. Also quite enjoying your big statue, very well done!

Ok, not much time to hobby but I have the bases pretty much laid out. After painting the last 30 or so I will start the markings. Not sure how well one can see, but the far side has debris the near side mostly clean. A few groups with blast damage in the clean areas.

Look'n good Sir.

Ok, bases have been completed. Well, except for the markings. That should be done easily. Then I'll attach the marines and off to fight the heretics they go!!

What do you think you will do next? The minotaurs?

Damn, I think painting that many bases at once would drive me barmy...

Nice work though.

EDC

And so it begins.......

Almost done. They look fantastic.

Very, very cool.

EDC

Thanks guys. I hope to finish attaching the models to the bases tonight. Then Im gonna assemble the army and take some pics. Ill probably post them over in the painting and modeling showcase thread.

Wow. Love the way they are coming together.

Is this a larger army then you normally do? Seems a whole parade ground of Ultras is a bit more then we’ve seen you do previously.

Not that I’m complaining...

He did an entire Crimson Fist Battle Company plus support vehicles once, he can be a prolific painter at times.

Alright gentlemen. That should just about do it. I'd say it's a little bigger than that Battle Company. Man, that seems like a long time ago. Anyway, I'm going to make a thread in the showcase forum to show off more pics. In the meantime,many thanks to everyone who stopped by to take a look, many more thanks to all of you who left a comment. It's nice to chit chat with fellow enthusiasts. So, until next time.

I like how we finished at the same time and you have twice as many models as me Great job!

Total awesome looking Sir. You just need a Word Bearer's army to match it .
