well....get it on!!

Oh my God... I actually have an update! I finally seem to have some painting time My Imperial Fist is giving me nightmares though... so he's on the back burner atm... However, after months of waiting, my apothecary is nearly done and I'll have some pictures of him up tomorrow I hope (if anyone is still following this! haha )

I'm also getting too ahead of myself 'cuz I want to buy Grey Knights asap lol

And its nice to be back xxx

great work here, really can see your improvement from the first post since

Welcome back bubble, looking forward to seeing the apothecary.

Wait wait wait, if your obsessed with dorn and the fists now, are you going to retire smurfette and go with something more appropriate?

I wondered why this Panda was laughing ……… Now I know why

But I still love ultras! And I'm loving Grey Knights too so if I was gonna change it I'd have to have them in there too... Besides, what good nicknames have the word 'fist' in them! lol xxx

good is all a matter of oppinion dear bubble

UPDATE TIMEEEE

Ok so I lied, the Apothecary isn't quite ready :( But this guy is and he's happy to be here lol







Now I know some of you are gonna think I'm a terrible human being for not hand painting the banner... but I just didn't feel confident enough about it :( However one of my vets that are now in progress has a banner so maybe I'll have a go at that one... Also the gold on the bottom of the banner looks shittier in the photo than it does in real life! xxx

I take a quick peek at dakka during art class to se a rather pretty marine, I thInk he looks cool! I love the head choice and while i like the banner, hand painted would have been better

I like the banner. it's really simple but it's something. one thing i think you could do with it is add some sort of text to it? like "ultra" or something like that.

it is a good looking smurf... i like the blue ... it is really well done... my only suggestion would be to give the aquilla... the decal you used a golden coat... would suit the blue posers way better^^ just a black aquilla would be too plain

haha thank you Now, you say it would look better... but I would have wanted to paint the actual 2nd company banner and I wouldn't have been able to... So it would have looked like a baboon's bum I'm gonna practice for my next banner though I PROMIIISEEE

Thank you, i like the simplicity too And yes, that little space at the bottom is bugging me so that may be the way to go

Cheers for your comments as ever Vik I may well do that xxx

yes do that !

I disagree Vik I like the black if you make it gold it will clash with the yellow IMHO, for a transfer it does not stand out like one

The bolt pistol looks cool some nice highlighting on there, the only small gripe I have is the banner pole needs some highlight on it to lift the wood look

But overall nice job indeed

Like I said back in ye olden days, these are looking really nice. You seem to be improving a lot.

I agree with ldd here, I see Aquila and I want it painted black

Hi, i have to say im not a fan of Ultra's but lets face it these are really nicely done even i like the standard bearer and it takes a lot for me to look at blue things...

Very well done

Wolf. x

Pretty neat, nice job!

need to do the pistol grip

Well spotted xxx

actaully i have to scrub my fingers now... LDD... you´re right...

*feverously scrubbing fingers....* "no sweety, i still need more of that disinfectant... the odd feeling just won´t quit... even after the steel brush scrubbing...darn... why does it still bleed that hard? after all one would expect bleeding to cease once you reached the bones..."

I like the banner bearer. You managed a really smooth blue on all your Ultramarines. I like the heads too. What are they?

The only thing I'm not so keen on is the banner. It looks a bit plain. Using transfers was a good idea, but there is something just not right about it. It might have benefitted from the interior of the banner being a different colour.

Once the bone evaporates then and only then will you be clean …………….

ah... good hint.... besides... the kyeboard is looking like a mess...

oooo fancy, I really like that banner *cuddles*
