Drogmir's Ultramarine 2nd Company

[Drogmir]

Ok this stuff is a WIP ever since I've gotten into WH40K so for the sake of showing myself how much I have improved myself since. This first picture is my 1st space marine vs my latest space marine. (Keep in mind that my latest SM is only about 70% done, this is more for nostalgia)

Old Marine



New Marine



sorry for the bad pics BTW I don't have any picture boards or things like that for my stupid camera.

[Drogmir]

Oh yeah and here's some completed guys just for show.

Alrighty then, no pics today but I'm planning.

I'm going to make some Ultramarine custom vets.

By using Red Scorpion Helmets

Mark IV I believe. or was it VI? Whatever...

I'll also be using the metal inscribed pads for tactical and Ultramarine.

Now I just need to gather up some money.

I love the first pics, seeing how you used to paint and how you paint now. Sometimes its just funny.

Nice stuff by the way.

cant wait to see some of those scorpion heads on these , theyll b baaardd

[Drogmir]

Ok.... well sorry to say it but those Scorpion heads won't be coming in since I just blew all of my money on 5th edition and DKoK guys. :cries:

But this guy I did manage to pick up a while ago and painted up. He's mostly done as I'm concerned and he uses a much darker blue than I normally do.

This is a 2nd Edition Ultramarine Captain with a jump pack, as made famous by the outrageous headdress.



Yes I'm aware that the white is a little sloppy and hope to fix it the coming week.

Just a small remark, you should dilute a little your blue, it make very pasty.
Similar for red.
For your metal, spend a light black wash, so that it is a little more mat.

so good courage for follows it

Ahh looking back at old models, fun to do I agree.

Most of my first models were so bad ( really really bad ) the all had a date with some paint stripper hehe.

But your first models show you have what it takes to paint, all the paint is in the right place, anyone can learn the different ways to paint, as long as you hit the right spots!

Would love to see more pics of your old marines, great to see stuff from the past.
