My Ultramarines

[Aux]

I'm starting a apocolypse sized tyranid army, but before i do that id like to show off my marines. I've played about 20 games with these guys and made a few tweaks in the army.

Its 1500 points, and i can go up to 1750 if needed

heres a vid on youtube of them:

The only ones not in this old picture is the devastator squads, but they are in the video above….















I've been painting for about a half a year, buy actually playing 40k since september.

I also have a world eaters army I painted for a friend (Whos hooking me up with nids bc i do so) heres the vid of that:

kill the ultra's!

well done, even though they are Ultras, they look good, unlike "most" ultramarine armies I've seen

[Shas'o Tash'var Kais Pat]

they're pretty nice, but one thing...why are the terminators painted like deathwing?

[Aux]

because i can

I made a minor divergence chapter

They do actually look well painted espically ultramarines *shudders* so many ugk (unsupervised gaming kids) they broke my tank and thousands sons

Very nice! My favorite aspect of your painting is howthey look battle-weary and weathered! I hate the ultra clean, brand new car smell paint jobs you find on a lot of miniatures (gw. .are you listening?). To me this is SO ridiculous to believe a fighting force spends its time polishing their armor and painting it blue. . Well done! Beat up equals battle-veterans! Historically most veteran units are secretly proud of their worn equitment, heck, Vietnam era soldiers wanted their boots faded and cracked, the more faded, the more combat and time you had spent in action.

what colour did you use for the blue as any 'eavy metal painter will tell you ultramarines aren't painted using ultramarines blue

[Aux]

it was ultramarines blue....

The darker marines are only 1 layer of ultramairnes blue over black, the other marines were blue inked with a ultrablue spray

[Aux]

O yeah and at the bottom of those pics are a vid of my world eaters which ill post up a topic for them

[rakados]

They look absolutely amazing. Can we see a close up of the terminators?

[Aux]

the terminators are pretty bad actually.... theres a few more marines with plasma guns i've added on to complete the "las/plas" part of my army
