<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Ultramarines 3rd company and allies."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Ultramarines 3rd company and allies. I'll be stripping most of my original models that I have left, and rebuilding several.

To start with, here's half of the 1st Tactical Squad I'll be doing, fresh from the chembath.


I was unhappy with Ultramarines as they were, I left them too long I guess, so a majority will be repainted as successor chapters, to try and keep me motivated. The above squad will be Imperius Reavers, and I have plans to add Scythes of the Emperor soon too.
The whole theme around my Imperial army is going to be Tyranid Hunters, led by my eternal favourite, Captain Fabian, of the Ultramarines 3rd company, and Chaplain Ortan Cassius.

Will post more tonight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691291/8663007.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691291/8663007.page GMT Buca repaints and rebuilds

MacPhail, I just use Dettol, works fine on plastics, not sure if it's available outside the UK though.

I did very little painting tonight, as the kids are deciding that sleep is not a necessity.


I've undercoated the combat squad, and very roughly painted half of three of them red.

I'm undecided as to what their Sergeants should use for a helmet colour, the image below in spoilers is from the original Praedis Zeta campaign, where the chapter first appeared, I remember asking at the time if this was the helmet colour, and the response was that he was a Veteran, so we have the Veteran colouring the same as the Ultramarines, but I can't see a red helmet looking good. I'm so far torn between yellow and blue, leaning towards blue, but I'd like input from yourselves on this.

Spoiler:


Next up is my most intact survivor, Epistolary Septimus, Librarian of the Ultramarines:


He just needs rebasing, and he's done.

Finally, we have the size comparisons due to base height, stature and posing, between (a headless, dry fit) Captain Fabian, Epistolary Septimus and Sergeant Nameless.

So if those were the two options, I’d go yellow. But might suggest gold instead. If you have a body without a head glued on, you could do a rough basecoat on a couple spare heads and see which one you like best.

Or go with a different pattern for designating sarges, like back banners/toppers, reverse the red/black on the helmet, old fashioned helmet stripe.

These are very rough, and there is zero tidy up done on them, but I think they're coming along.

Next up, I redid Fabian''s cloak, it just seemed too dark to me. Then I made a start on his banner, and did some work on the Base:




Finally, I decided to fix the primary gun on my Knight. He originally had a thermal cannon, but that was mangled, so I'm using the battle cannon now, but with a bit of very WIP conversion work to make it more ornate:

Have you tried wrapping your wallet in bubble wrap to prevent further accidents?

I've got it in a few sub assemblies, which I intend to do with all vehicles. I went with the Skyhammer missiles, and the next one will be a lashawk.


Barrels were hard to do, but I'm happy with them.


The sub assemblies.


The mock up. Still a fair bit of clean up needs doing.

I'm trying out a rough look on the armour, similar to how I painted my Knight. As you can see though, the glaze isn't totally dry just yet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691291/8724652.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691291/8724652.page GMT Re:Buca repaints and rebuilds

What kind of photo setup are you using? You should be able to get better pictures by using more ambient light, and less flash. Solid backdrops also help.

Love those guys on the table. Enjoy blasting xenos with him.

BUT, I start a new job in a few weeks, and that's going to involve me living away for most of the week, so I'll be setting up a painting and photo area in the new place, because I'll have nothing to worry about there.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Well, I'll been having fun with the Stormtalon, so I've gotten out two of the vehicles I only ever basecoated, a Landspeeder and a Venerable Dreadnought. Only managed to put a wash on them tonight.

Then, the current main project, with the start of his squadron markings and paint to denote him as wing leader, really feel this breaks the blue up.

Finally rebuilt my Knight 22/08 I've been working a but too much on AoS lately, so I decided I should get back to 40k. So I bought Renegade.
I used the avenger gattling cannon to rebuild my Knight, and I've now built one of the ones from the box. I'll probably build the last one as a Paladin.

And another tactical squad, ready for paint. That I will maybe spray blue soon.



*Real name the Eternal Arbitrator.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691291/8885193.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691291/8885193.page GMT Ultramarines 3rd company and allies. Finally rebuilt my Knight 22/08
Partially repainted the pauldron and knee, where the UM heraldry will be, blue on the Knight Warden (Virtuous Judgement), and painted his avenger gattling cannon and icarus autocannon with leadbelcher.
Undercoated the Knight Paladin (Unbowed Vigilance), and started the blue on his pauldron and knee.
Basecoated the carapace, in the first of many coats of yellow, and began the blue on the Knight Errant (Eternal Arbitrator). As this guy will be my Baron, he's going to have a fair bit more red than the others, namely the parallel lines of rank, ad well as fair chunks of black, with the helmet being predominantly red.
