Thread: Entire Ultramarine 2nd Company

  1. #1

    Entire Ultramarine 2nd Company

    i have been painting and collecting an ultramarine 2nd company army for about a year now. my goal was to collect and paint an entire ultramarines 2nd company attached units from the first and tenth company. i have finished the entire battle company and i am currently working on the first and tenth company units. my army is large so for now i am going to begin with posting the command staff and some of the veterans. questions, comments and criticism welcome. I will post the entire army by the end of the week with daily updates.

    Force Commander, chaplain, apothacary, company champion, standard bearer and librarian work in progress.

    Are you going to name them all?

    Certainly one of the best looking Ultramarine armies I have seen. Your painting style is very similar to mine though so I may be slightly biased.

    I must say they're very well painted.

    It's too bad you have to repaint the trim on the left shoulder pad yellow...

    Do you water down your paints, it looks like if you did you would be a much better painter. They all look really nice but the paint diesn't look that smooth. You are crazy painting that many marines.

    accualy, i only watered down the bleach bone. the extreme closeup shots of the paint look way more thick than it is. the white paint is rough on some figures, for some reason white seems to get all thick in the pot faster than the other paints. it isnt bad when you look at the figure in person, the photos seem to bring out the details.

    i was going for a grittier, more realistic, darker look for the ultramarines.

    Traditional Company colour, but never fear! The Ultras have in the new Codex replaced that with gold.

    Why did they change it to gold out of interest - I always wondered - is it because they thought gold looked cooler?

    Yeah, probably. And admit that it does! And it fits the pattern as well, since yellow represents gold in heraldry, and since Marines are Space Knights anyway, well go figure.

    Those are all excellent. I too would like to see a shot of all the marines at once (on parade, kinda thing) even if it does mean that its impossible to pick out the details. It's always impressive to see a really ambitious project actually get finished.
