I've been working on this army for around two years now and figured I should show some progress. The force currently stands at almost exactly 4000 points with a mix of GW and Forge World units.

The army is painted as 1st Company veterans with full vehicle support, I like the uniformity of all white shoulder trims so will likely have every model as a veteran. The bases are all laser etched and then painted to create the patterns, some of which have risers added to create steps.

One of the aims of the project was to use only plastic and FW resin models, no metal or finecast and so that means certain squads are heavily kitbashed. Particularly the Honour Guard and Elites characters are a mix of up to seven different kits.

Many more models are in the queue for painting, a good few more years to get everything done! There are also no Primaris models in the army and while there likely won't be any of the infantry added there will likely be a Repulsor and a Redemptor or two in the future.

Several of the characters and squads have been entered into the Golden Demon and have finalised, next year the Mastodon will be going in!

It is a very nice looking force; the extensive use of white in the scheme helps to make them look more interesting than most Ultras. Highlights on the vehicles, particularly the giant mass of resin that is the Mastodon, are impressively precise

As an Ultramarines fanboy I have to say when I saw these I squeed a bit!

Lovely to see some 1st company love, the Mastadon is stunning as are all the subtle conversions.

Thanks for all the awesome comments, guess I've got to paint some more then!

Here's the full force as it stood for Armies on Parade, a bit of a squeeze to get it all on the board tile.

Lovely paint work. I would have liked to see more proper white helmets, but the overall impression is excellent.

I think the standout to me is the altered Guilliman (if that's supposed to be him). Far better/nicer than the GW model. The Mastodon is a model I don't like, but you've made it really pop nicely.

The only unit which got a "meh" from me is the winged assault marines, but I've never really cared for that kind of thing myself. The paintwork is sublime across the board.

The paintjobs are definitely worthy of winning some competitions for sure. Lovely stuff.

Wow! Looks absolutely stunning! The white (especially on the forgeworld units) is absolutely breathtaking, clean, but not too clean, and just bright enough for some lovely contrast.

The mini girlyman conversion is fantastic too, looks a lot better than the base model (which can be said for all the conversions). Is he being ran as guilliman or just a captain/chapter master?

Thanks again for all the awesome comments!

It is indeed Guilliman, sometimes run as a Chapter Master or Gravis Captain in smaller games but originally built to represent G-Man himself.

He'll likely be replaced by the Forge World 30K model once I get it painted but I was very happy with the conversion, he even finalised in the Golden Demon!
