I was blown away when I first saw the Centurions. I space marine wearing a warsuit was just too awesome. The models are a little stumpy straight out of the box so I added a spacer to the waists to lift them up a bit. I also chopped the legs at the hip to create striding poses so they don't look as static.

Having painted the entire 4th and 1st company and half of the scout company, I feel it's time to start a new company. I really like the fluff for the 2nd company but find the paint job lacking. As a compromise I decided to go full retro and paint them like the the old 2nd edition marines.

Oh and here's the all important comparison shot.

Loads more pics over on the blog I contribute to. http://taleofpainters.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/showcase-ultramarine-centurion.html#comment-form

Wow, those Centurions are BANANAS. Seriously, an excellent paintjob on top of a really nice little tweak (I thought they looked a little stumpy too). Well done!

**iBambam**

I absolutely love the centurions, yours look great! I can't wait to start painting mine.

**Sarigar**

They look much better than the GW pieces advertised. Great work all around. Thanks for sharing.

It's not NMM gold. It's yellow. Second edition marines were all about the bright yellow ornaments. Thanks for the nice compliments dude.

Well it's a great yellow.

Thanks for the SOH tutorial BTW.

Dude, GW should take pictures of your Centurions and use them as the studio shots.

You manage to make those models look cool, bravo !

**Dreadclaw69**

Your 2nd Edition style is perfect

**Paradigm**

Those look so much cooler after the conversion and with the old-school paintwork. Nice stuff.

Except the basing.

Jokes aside, nice looking minis.

**Trondheim**

Thats pure unfilterd awesomsauce! Very well done, and may I ask what pices of bitzs you used for the conversion???

**TheKbob**

Amazing. Any construction shots so I can see the modifications to make a more dynamic pose?

Love them!

**stargasm**

seriously awesome, i tried 2nd ed ultras and failed miserably but yours are perfect!

**Marshall Ragnar**

Really cool! How did you do your bases? Those are really cool desert themed.

**CptCortez128**

Hang on a minute... You can't con me! They are not completely 2nd ed... There isn't a garish goblin green base in sight! ;-)

Good job though mate, I like them!

**Robbo97**

Are you the guy that was featured in the latest WD because your painting is the same!

**Dravenguild**

They have a passing resemblance to 2nd edition marines, I would have liked to see more checkered patterns and hazard stripes on the powerfists.

All in all a good attempt, I enjoy it.

**Astroman**

Absolutely loving the 2nd edition color scheme, but I'm just not a fan of the models themselves. Still, you made them look as amazing as possible.

**Jimsolo**

You can never have enough hazard stripes! Loving them!

**Brother Payne**

Awesome paint job! I love your army - saw it this months WD

**TraleC**

If anyone knows any Breaking Bad references, "tight tight tight!" would be suitable.

**Jihadnik**

I was all set up to not like this, but wow mate, those look exceptional! 2nd ed Ultramarines were my first love and that makes me love them all over again!

**FatBoy**

You work for Eavy Metal....admit it....

Super legit work.

**Leech**

Ah, graviton guns glow blue, didn't know that.

Loverly good work here. Your modifications to the poses may be emplyed when I do my own Centurions.

He is indeed.

Great job- they look better in 2ed colours than the new ones.

I think they should glow fabulous.

**Maniac_nmt**

Very nice work. The small conversions plus the paint job actually makes these models look pretty good.
