Hey everyone,

I built a lightbox the other day, and it gave me the excuse to crack open my army cases and look at all of my stuff that i've completed over the years. I was trying to pick out my favourites to photograph, and actually found what I picked to be surprising! They were necessarily the most grandiose models, nor were they the best painted elements of my army. Now, i'm going to cheat in my own thread here by choosing two miniatures - but they both have this in common: They capture the essence of my army the best.

For those of you who don't know me, i'm an Ultramarines player. I thrive on making conversions and kit-bashing miniatures to have unique characters that fit the tone of my army. The two models i'll be sharing capture that essence the best for me. One is a sternguard sergeant, and the other is a captain. They aren't my best paint jobs, but they are two of the 'Ultramariniest' miniatures that i've ever produced.

So I open the invitation to all of you - what's your favourite miniature that you've ever made, and why are they your favourite? I'd love to see some cool figures, nostalgic stories and captivating reasons!

Here are mine:

@Eldarain Yea nice! that's awesome.

Hey, cool! I'm a post-graduate classicist so I really dig that terrain piece. The WIP images give a cool sense of progression too.

Awesome! Already i'm stunned at the variety of stuff that's in here. I really should have expected it but its taking me by surprise all the same. From winterdyne's sensational diorama to San's characterful Praetor -- looks like an iconic IF

@Red_Thirst thank you so much! Hence why he's my pick for my favourite as well Your guys are characteristic Blood Angels and look really slick! I see why you're proud of them.

In fact, everyone's posts on here are really great. This is turning out to be quite the wholesome thread

Nice mini Crimson! Are you planning on starting a blog? That ultramarine is crisp, i'd be keen to follow your progress.

@kraken cheers for the feedback. Yes, i've come to realise that the dust is now significant enough of a problem for me to deal with
