New to all this so bear with me. I started collecting UltraMarines about 18 months ago in an attempt to encourage my son to maintain his interest in Warhammer 40k. As an idea it was great but he (being a typical teenager) soon lost interest.

On the other hand I have just continued to add to my Army and paint to what I consider to be a good standard. I have postsed a few images into my gallery and would appreciate your comments, hints and suggestions on how best to improve either the Army or my techniques, I bow before the superior knowledge I expect other to have.
