This is my Spartan themed Ultramarines. I have been painting Ultramarines for over 20 years and upon getting the Indomitus box, I decided to create them more in line with my vision of how I envision the boys from Ultramar. They have a little more flair, lean into the Grecian more than Roman look, but still retain that pretty blue color. I tried to maintain the immediate recognition of Ultras by giving them slight alterations while maintaining a unique feel to them. Minotaurs, Iron Snakes and Emperor's Spear boys don't waste your time, Ultras did it first you, are just a clone so save your comments

I have my Phalanx Guard (Bladeguard), Spartans (Assault Intercessors) and beginning the Veteran Spartans to start and more will be on the way.

They are cool

Fantastic models. I wish GW would produce these! What did you use for the shield? Are those 3rd party bits?

they look great. loving those alt shields.

What a great concept, spectacularly executed.

Really cool, definitely breaths some life into them. I used to be an Ultramarines player but now I find them a bit generic, these are anything but. The round shields are really effective and that last guy with the plasmagun looks boss.

Awesome models. I especially like the Bladeguard from the second photo.
