Really nice, as usual.

Very nice; makes me wish that I had my paints with my at school.

Makes Ultras look very cool. I like the unique hemets and the individualitic nature of your models, each having names and history. I do think guilliman could use some more gold though. Fantastic stuff.

Awesome updates! You keep finding fresh ground and strong personality in the realm that you've chosen. I'm always looking forward to more!

You know - this project gives birth to such insane visions in my head, squads of Alpha Legion and other ideas to dangerous to contemplate that I should not check it too often.

Holy crap, Rouboute looks PISSED!!! man, would not want to meet that guy in some dark alley, yeesh...

I thought that's what we wanted/needed over at DakkaDakka? To show the rest of the internetz which 40k community rules them all or something?

What heresy is this ! There is no 40k forum but DAKKA !!

Btw, awesomely inspiring work there Apologist, its an honor to have you here.

I wouldn't want to meet him in a well lit alley either....

Apologist, I like the sense of unity you've got with that latest squad, they actually look and interact like a unit of troops that experience has meshed into a single well-oiled organism.

*Phew!*

Well, finished these by the skin of my teeth at quarter-to-four on the friday morning my group was scheduled to head up to Nottingham.

I had a fantastic time at GW HQ, and was really pleased to win the best Imperial army award – and also be asked if I'd let the Praetors be a guest display at Warhammer World.

[/Own horn tooting]

My gaming prowess was clearly not up to scratch though – one win, one draw, and four defeats!

Congrats on the best Imperial army award, Apologist. Well deserved indeed.

Do you have a group shot of the whole army?

This is awesome news!! I'm well pleased for you to hear that GW got it. Unfortunately, there are some more senior members who are very defensive about marine issues, but grassroots the love is clearly there

I second the wish for a group shot!

So Jes wasn't in attendance then?

Congrats!

I love the true scale marines and will probably do some one day. On a only slightly related note though, I really like some of those hasslefree minatures! All these naked ladies are making me want to create a customized Slaanesh army...

Having just read this blog from start to finish, all I have to say is

WOW.

You have completely inspired me to keep chuggin' on my SoB and to really go-for-it experimenting with artistic technique. Once I get back to the states, I will DEFINITELY be revisiting some of my other models, because a tabletop standard of painting just isn't good enough for me anymore!

Thanks!
As regards a whole army pic... voila! This picture is pinched from a fellow called Zog on the Space Wolf forums (hope you don't mind!) – I stupidly forgot to bring my pict-capter to the event.

L–R:
Land Raider Argo, deploying Techmarine Arius and golem-servitor maniple; Recon squad Telcion and Rhino (Metaeans); Tactical squad Mox (Ciconians); Ancient Avulus in Dreadnought armour; Speculatores; unidentified Remembrancer; Tactical squad Santiagon (Apaesians); Jetbike squadron (Phocians); Tactical squad Epipatros (Locrians); Remembrancer; Command Squad Orar (Zelians); Predators Spear of Iax and Terra's Shield.

Also:
The Zelians alongside the Primarch and Remembrancers




I ran out of time to paint any model servitors, so simply stapled some of my trusty paint servitors to bases and shrank them down with my debiggeningdendrite. (You can see the one in the centre trying to get off the base – clearly he needs his prime directives renewed.)


New Captain Orar

I love this model so much! Simply had to swap the old Captain Orar's arm for a banner and relegate him to being an Ancient, just so this guy could be Orar – and suitably pimp he is too, in my opinion!

Man I love all this! you do awesome work! did you biggerize the dreadnaught some? I dont remember seeing you do that, thats why I had to ask.

Hold up- is that Dr. Who in the second and third pic?

Who?

Yep – quite a bit. I hope I've kept the overall aesthetic recognisable. Here's a WIP:

If you have'nt already told us, you MUST explain how you do the bolter arms, they're brilliant!

Whats with the 2 regular humans in the second and third pics?

Remembrancers ... he said that though

Pure win mate!! This army is truly great (no pun intended)

Hot damn ! These are freakin awesome, truly. Never seen a full true-scale marine force and this one is superb !

Bravo to you

Wolf

Only one's a Human, the other just looks like one



Where did you get the mini of the Doctor anyway? Or did you have to sculpt it yourself?

Wow, finally someone who makes ultramarines an appealing army to play, I love the modelling job man... They really look sick.

That dreadnought is amazing, it looks more mean and menacing.

Gorgeous!! Made my visit these pics did.

We need pics of the tanks man!

Absoloutely outstanding!

Wow, absolutely brilliant.

wow those look really good!
