Ultramarine strike force - Bolt of Ultramar

[orkblasta]

Hey guys I just got a photobucket account and so I thought I'd post my army and see what other people think of it.





Here's Force Commander Catastrophy and his command squad.


Here's Terminator Librarian Ezequiel Darlomun


Marneus Calgar and his honor guard often support the Bolt of Ultramar on their campaigns.


This is what I recently got and are now in the construction process.


Well that's my army feel free to make any comments about what you think I should get next or about painting ideas, or if you just want to say something.

looks good but the silver seems kinda flat with no depth as does most of the models i can see. you need to work with some layering/drybrushing/washes for some depth there.

but as an army it looks great

[orkblasta]

I'm sorry about that their not actually that silver their ultramarines blue with a light drybrush of boltgun metal, the camera doesn't do them justice. As for layering/washes I have been testing on a couple of 3rd edition models who's squads got vaporized in a fireworks accident. I've been testing and practicing my layering quite a bit but I haven't done many washes. All in all you are right.

The Models look nice, but you need to get a Tripod or something else to steady your Camera with. The pictures are definitely not doing those guys justice.

the silver is overdone o the captain
thats my only complaint

I have to say, I play orkblasta quite a bit. (We were kinda the first people in our group to start playing and collecting seriously.)

They look soooooo much better in person. Camera is definitely NOT doing them justice.

Thanks for the support reaper and to everyone else I'm sorry about the bad pictures and will be trying to get better ones if I do I will post the immediately.

Cool army man, looks sweet. I personaly dont have a problem with the silver on the captain, makes a nice change from the excess of gold normaly applied to space marines. My only gripe, and its only small, is the flock on the sides of the bases and the fact that they are green.

IMO green bases just dont suit 40k.

is it kind of funny that when i see this all i think about is OM NOM NOM

[orkblasta]

I don't think it's funny.

Hey eyeless74 the reason for the green is I like to think that wherever space marines are its holy and awesome. Green is a color that symbolizes life and a healthy area. Brown is a dead and depressing color.

Cool, I see what you've done then. And with a pretext it looks ok. I always go for grey and ash, for ashy wastelands and such.

Thats a cool idea
