USS_ESSESS Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 After being away from home for several months it’s so good to be back at the bench! in the last two weeks I got the vanguards to a point where I can almost call them done. Only few issues left but here are some pictures: Thanks for looking and I‘ll keep you updated! cheers Konrad 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Looking good, that scenic base came out really well and connects visually with the smaller marine bases too. W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USS_ESSESS Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 Well, before 2019 is over I wanted to give you one last update. I treated the model like every over, black base paint and a white highlight from above to give some light and shadow followed by a thin blue basecoat. on the sword you can still see the effect of the white highlight. after that I blocked in all black than the very tedious job of painting all the gold trim started... It was a job of several afternoons/late evenings... and here is where I am at the end of the year: but fear not! 2020 will be a very busy year regarding my Ultramarines Chapter. Here is a little sneak peek: I wish y'all a very happy new year and all the best! Cheers Konrad 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS_ESSESS Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 I finally finished this model! here are the last in progress pictures: And here it is, in all it's glory: In my humble opinion this is the best I ever achieved... Any comments highly welcome! Cheers Konrad 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProjeKtWEREWOLF Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I love 40k. Really nice work. I'm in the middle of a Predator build. It's going to be Marines Malevolent livery. I then have about 30 various marines to paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! the trim came out nicely but was a PITA to paint... had to have the right amount of caffeine to be concentrated without my hands shaking...

I then have about 30 various marines to paint. Predator sounds nice but I had to google Marines Malevolent as I never heard of them before... Now that the leader of this army is done he needs some more army he can lead so I assambled and primed another squad of vanguard veterans but this time the newer plastic ones but after priming I found some mold lines I forgot and also wasn't happy with the coat of blue color I gave the first one... so a reprime it is... and than I thought that I can save some time by doing a few more minis at a time so I assambled two squads of sternguard veterans... one old metal one and one new plastic one: And this is how the 3 squads looked like in my usual prime coat of black followed by white from above Gotta love those fine metal sculpts! It's a shame the newer models have lost all those sharp and delicate details like the chains and such... Anyway here is the whole lot in blue: It's not showing so good in this picture but the blue still has a fine tonal variation between light and shadow... But what this picture clearly shows is the limit of my light box... Thats it for now, cheers Konrad 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlights with Kislev and the brightest bits with ushabti bone. Carroburg Crimson for the lips and agrax earthshade for the deepest shadows and the hair line.

USS_ESSESS Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) So, as promised an Update on my Ultramarines... Last time I finished the Vanguard Squad and had two sternguard squads basecoated in blue... I did manage to finish one of the veteran sergeants: some close ups: But after this one I felt the need to build something rather than doing more painting... soooo like @Adam Poultney stated some time last year I had built a Terminator Squad with 3 heavy weapons, with is not allowed If I ever come to the point where I want to play an actual game of 40k... So I decided to fix that... I had one more box of termies and one of the build&paint series boxes with the old termies and a dreadnought. That gave me 3 squads. I did some mix&match and added some Forge World resin Shoulder Pauldrons here and there. So I got from this... to this: And while I was at it I also assambled a squad of terminator assaults... got some pretty aggresive poses: with this squad I got a total of 40 Marines in my 1st Company - 10 Vanguard Veterans, 10 Sternguard Veterans, 15 Terminators and 5 assault terminators. I think that's enough. But when I say 1st Company... then there's more! I caption this next picture "Oh Captains, my Captains!" I have no Intention whatsoever to build a complete chapter (nor do I have the $$$ for that!) but I do like charakter models! They will all be based on 40mm Bases wich I already ordered... But having 10 Captains means I also need a Chapter Master! And here he is: (more pictures in the RFI). Well, that's it at the moment!

I already have 2 pretty big Armies, Ultramarines and Deathguard/Nurgle Deamons. And as the new Indomitus Box Set was too good to not get it I now also have 1000 Points of Necrons... Way too many Models to paint and far too little time... I guess I should post an update sometime soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
