hellooo.... and thanks

and yes, true but a lot of people I know on here are like that- ADD hobbyists

Ok, first off- lovely sexist insult there also, give me some legitimate reasons why he's a 'poon'? It's just fashionable to dislike him xxx

Well some lost soul has ta do Ultra smurfs

How's it sexist to call you a Flip-flopper, or are you referring to "poon." also he is a poon because he utterly fails at everything. How can you write the Codex Astartes the way he did and not be a poon? In any case...

After the death of Horus and the near-death of the Emperor, Guilliman assumed the throne and became the Lord Commander of the Imperium, which granted him the same authority as the Emperor. While the other primarchs looked outward, intent on destroying the traitor legions and finding new recruits to rebuild their armies, Guilliman cast his furious gaze inward, towards the loyalist Space Marines themselves.

Guilliman was in a position of immense power at the time, possessing the strongest Space Marine legion (Because the Ultramarines did not participate in any of the major battles of the Horus Heresy due to Guilliman being duped by the Alpha Legion, they didn't take heavy losses like the Salamanders and Imperial Fists.), the most political sway (He was noted for being the Emperor's favorite after Horus and Sanguinius), and more than enough resources to make any calls needed to repair the Imperium. What the fractured and devastated people needed most was a strong leader willing to take action and to resolve the problems the galaxy now faced. What they got was Guilliman... To his credit, like all deranged leaders before him, Guilliman was courageously paranoid FOR THE PEOPLE. The primarch of the Ultramarines supremely doubted his brother primarchs and their ability to stay pure for the unforeseeable future.

Hence, while he occupied the throne, he began work on the Codex Astartes: a work of pure insecurity and paranoia that would soon tear the Space Marines apart and make them more difficult to manage and rebuild than ever (it is rumoured to be based on an ancient Terran game called "Simon says", Roboute decided that Roboute Says was too obvious and went with his publishers recommendation of "Codex Astartes"). Assuming the worst of his brethren, and perhaps even his own men, Guilliman decreed that all Space Marine legions must be broken into chapters of no greater than one thousand, forcing them to act as more individualistic groups lacking in cohesive leadership. Imperial historians hum, quietly, that there may have been alternatives at the time. The people were shocked at the force the traitor legions had brought to Terra, but many were certainly more interested in being protected from the ravages of the splintered traitors than they were in seeing the Imperium's best armed forces made disorganized. One possibility may have been consolidating all Marines into one force, organizing them like a real army with checks and balances, but Guilliman would have none of it.

Instead, he demanded the fragmentation of the Imperium's finest, which was frankly outrageous to the other primarchs. Rogal Dorn even sought to topple the decree, risking a civil war for the sake of keeping the Space Marines as functional groups that could fight and act as a whole. In the end, however, Dorn was too preoccupied with self-doubt, blaming himself for the death of the Emperor, and he eventually succumbed to Guilliman's plans. That and those lazy bastards (imperial navy..) opened fire on him. etc etc etc..

i said good day!

No I meant poon silly was just teasing!

Good points -well presented, but who knows what any other primarch would have done in his position? They may have done exactly the same or, maybe even a lot worse...

I'm just defending the underdog here, everyone hates the ultramarines, it's sillyyy!

Sanguinius would have been brilliant... but I say that as a full blown Sangi groupie lol

ANYWAY- update coming this evening xxx

No hate, all space marines are awesome! he just shouldn't have split up the chapters i don't think.

anyway, subbed!

Fair enough!

heheh thank you for subbing! xxx

also, click my link!

Andddd... ta-da! Finished Champion for you all

I'm particually pleased with the sword- completed with help from the ever talented J-Paint

Thoughts pleassse xxx

should highlight the lightning effect on your power weapon to kind of blend it into the color of the sword. the shield could use a little more wash to give it a worn effect! Other than my humble opinions i think it looks great!

for a smurf

Wicked sweetie.

looks nice Bubble, and the power weapon looks cool!

NIce work there Bubble! Power sword that crackles with power!

I agree with the others, that sword looks really cool!

bubble wrote:aww thank you! and welcome to the madnessss

Madness?? ofcourse it's madness.. the -=]_,=- is here.. can it possibly be anything else when they're around?


and the Champion looks great too! but as Wh40kPicasso said. the shield could use another wash on it

hehehe it seems everyone likes the sword so hooray!

and yes... the -=]_,=- are mad, bad and dangerous to know lol xxx

dangerous...? hmmm... *beady eye look*

that cab hailer will surley not stay long in the rain for sure!!!...

the sword is looking damn fine i say... the transition from the haft to the very point is very smooth... and then to have the nerve to try those lighting lines on that smooth job... congratz! you certainly have some balls

now the only thing needed is to teach you to make better pics... the liightning swallowed a whole lot of your efforts...

if you are working that good in the future...and try to get even better...heavens forbid...then you need a lightbox...

yeah i know... i don´t own one either... but it´s on the todo list

cheers, vik

oh you're definitely dangerous! I've got my eye on you... lol

and yes I was terrified of doing the sword, I had to be spoon-fed all the way by J-Paint as he's done that sort of smooth blending before The lightning look is something I've been wanting to do for ages and I'm glad it paid off

Hahaha you're such a big meany the pics aren't any where near as bad as some on dakka but I do see your point I will attempt to improve for youuuuu lol xxx

see! that was the point i was making^^... improving... yes... you don´t learn for yourself you learn for your teach

every school kid does it

lol... i bet you where terrified... i knew i would if i ever came across such skill of my own only to maybe win or loose out on such freehand stuff again... i would have blown my top of my head of ^^

Overall nice paint job, I think the lightning is a nice touch but maybe as mentioned a little blending would not go a miss to subtle it a little

I am glad the cape stayed the same they will look more coherent

Wow, I'm really impressed! You have got the blue perfectly so it really pops out at you without being too bright which really grabbed my attention, the gold trim is neat and crisp and the detailing is excellent. The only thing I could suggest is maybe blend the lightning on the power sword into the blue, that should help it glow a little bit more although you don't want to over do it otherwise it may distract from the rest of the model. Other that that awesome work and definitely subscribing to this thread!

Hi there MetalOxide, thanks for dropping in and subbing

xxx

You are welcome

Not much progress was made yesterday... but it was the first sunny day in the UK in about a month so you can't blame me

Made another marine, hooray!

Hopefully will start Mr Powerfist today xxx

That guy's ace Bubba, love his GS hair too!!!

he's one perdy man bubble, and nice job on the GS too!

i like the GS hair a lot!!!that doesn´t look like the usual poke and call it sculpted look... that really is a hairdo! well what where we supposed to see...after all it was made by a girl

one thing tho... the major pain in the eye mold line of the plasma gun... eh?

but other than that... a cool looking mini... specially like the kneeling and aiming pose... by the way... has anyone ever seen a scifi vid where someone actually fires a plasma tech weapon? would love to see these in action...
