My Ultramarines

[ghazghull]

Hi, I have started a Ultramarines army and these are the first minis. I try to make a bit more individual than in the codex with inspiration from really old pics of marines :)

Nice :)

[Wolfshade]

Looking good

[Darren Richardson]

Very nice, I like it when people give the models "A Bit Of Character"....

[Veteran Sergeant]

Kids these days. Checking Facebook when they should be shooting missiles at things.

[ghazghull]

Thanks for the nice comments :D finished some more today

Bases to be done tomorrow..

[Darren Richardson]

Nice, is that check pattern freehand?

[ghazghull]

yes, everything is freehand as I believe this gives the models a nice feeling. I have never liked decals..

[Darren Richardson]

Then I'm even more impressed I thought they were decals other then the shoulder check!

[ghazghull]

First two squads finished :D

Now of to their fist mission. To reclaim some rhinos from the Orks!

[Wolfshade]

Loving the sneaky 2nd ed flamer :)

[ghazghull]

In this project I am aiming on painting old models I have lying around. Therefore I have reclaimed these old rhinos. Glued and orkified these when this mk of the rhino where new.

[Kellevil]

Looks great!

[ghazghull]

Thanks! So finally I found some time to work on my marines. Assembled my command squad.

Also I have made some progress on my rhinos. Will post them later ;)

[Darren Richardson]

Love your two Tactical squads, the 2nd ed flamer marine is a nice touch, I'm glad they've taken back those Rhinos, nice job in repairing them, and I really like your Command Squad, are the resin parts Forgeworld or another party like Kromlech?

[ghazghull]

Thanks! The resin parts are actually both forge world and kromlech.

Did a little work on my captain today :)

[Darren Richardson]

impressive, without knowing beforehand that they were repair jobs, I wouldn't be able to tell.

[ghazghull]

Work on the command unit continues :D

[Darren Richardson]

looking good, keep up the good work.

[primeministersinister]

I agree with you regarding decals.
I do use them, but usually as a template to paint over.

Also, love those old school bolt pistols. Awesome work.

[ghazghull]

Thanks, I try to incorporate parts from all of the eras that i have been collecting :)

Two of the command minis done.

[Cap'nSmurfs]

Love the freehand work, very nice so far!

[ghazghull]

Company champion done, hope you like him.

Working on my standard dude. Hope to finish him soon :)

[Lurker]

Nice work!

[ghazghull]

Working on my fourth company banner :)

I hope to finish it soon but still a lot of work to do.

[Darren Richardson]

Lovely freehand work there, keep it up.

[ghazghull]

My finished command unit. I am really happy how this unit looks :p

Now it is time for the commander!

[Darren Richardson]

excellent work on the Command Squad, that banner really is amazing.

[interrogator_chaplain]

That banner is terrific! But more importantly, YOU PAINTED THE APOTHECARY RIGHT!

That's my biggest pet peeve these days, is the people who just paint the helmet and narcethium white and leave the rest in chapter colours. THE WHOLE APOTHECARY SHOULD BE WHITE! Except for the shoulder pad with the Chapter Icon. (I'm a slight cheat in that my Apothecary is wearing robes typical of the Dark Angels, but that's besides the point.)

Really digging your work, keep it up!

[ghazghull]

Captain done! Feels nice that that this one is finaly finished, now I have a painted force ready for a game :D

[Darren Richardson]

excellent work on that plastic captain, your freehand on the shoulder pads make him that little more special then the bog standard versions of him, and let's face it' he's a damn common miniature, I have one in my collection as well LOL
