Full Army Photo
My full force - I like the infantry heavy look of this list, although one problem I've had is anti-tank issues, from which came the Venerable Dreadnought and Power Fisted Assault Sergeant. I also gave my tactical squads melta bombs just in case. The painting is also a bit random throughout, only because this is currently my only army so I've learned on the fly and tested various painting styles on them. ^^;;;
Unit Photos
This is my version of Captain Uriel Ventris. I'm no good at converting yet, so I just count him as having a relic blade and hellfire rounds (with digital weapons for an added punch). I like to drop this guy with my 4th company tactical squad behind a vulnerable troop.
And here is my other HQ choice, Chaplain Acanthus. He uses a jump pack so that his hymns may fall upon the enemies ears upon wings of fire. He accompanies my assault squad into battle, his liturgies granting them re-rolls to hit on the turn they assault. The drop pod also contains a locator beacon.
My first troop, Tactical Squad Bacchus. They fall in a drop pod to blast a hole in the back of the enemies lines.
2nd troop; Tactical Squad Caius. Riding in a rhino transport they are the perfect distraction to keep the enemy occupied.
My 1st Dreadnought from the AOBR set; I like to strut him about, just blasting at whatever gets in his way.
My Venerable Dreadnought, Ancient Drusus. He is my main anti-tank unit and nothing makes me happier than when he pops a tank on the first turn. =)
My assault squad, led by sergeant Lucius. I count him as having a power fist and a storm shield (i realize that he only has a combat shield; like I said, no good at converting yet...) I love deep striking these guys behind a rock or building, then flying over to pop a tank or long range unit. ;D
My terminators, led by Sergeant Agrippa. I use the locator beacon on the drop pod to deep strike these guys without chance of scatter to create a solid fire base of bolt shells, and a decent counter assault unit to keep the enemy away from the softer tactical squad.

Why I Started This Army
I always loved using the Ultramarines in the original Dawn of War and decided last year (2010) to get into the tabletop game =) I would really love some input on improvements I could make though ^_^
