Looking good! I'm really liking the light blue for the banner. Better than the stark white but off set enough from the armor.
On the leather straps on the front, you might want to go back in with your darker brown and make the aged/cracked part of the leather more of a series of thin horizontal lines. If you look at a leather belt/shoes you'll notice that they don't wear down and get triangular looking patterns. I think I have a WD painting article on that. If I can find it I'll take a pic and send it to you.

Thanks mccaptain, I'd appreciate that, I wasn't overly convinced myself.

I like the gold accents on the backpacks. Adds uniqueness to each individual.

Thanks mccaptain. The aim was to make each marine look like a hero! Got 2 more done. Got 5 more to do then I've promised myself Guilliman as a treat!     |

I've been enjoying the recent heat wave, so I sat out in the garden and managed to get some work done on my 3rd tactical squad sergeant. Just 4 more to go!     Thanks for getting this far!! |

Finished my third tactical squad! Next up will be a rhino troop transport. I've got to wait until my birthday before I can work on the primarch!     More to come soon. |

I think it's about time we see a picture of everything you've gotten done to date.

These look fantastic. Whenever I pretend that I have tons of money, I like to think about starting a 30k army but have always been torn about doing either imperial fists or ultramarines. I do believe that seeing your army here that I have definitely sided with guillimans boys. I do at least want the primary model itself just to paint.

Thanks very much! Dougeye, you should, Guilliman is an amazing sculpt. Swalkerfour, again go for it! There are some really cool models in the range. Mccaptain, here's the pics:       Thanks for the feedback people, really helps to keep me motivated! |

Looking awesome! This is getting me motivated to make so e more progress on my Imperial Fists. Love the unique paint job on every model. I'm also really liking the lighter face played on the helmets. Really brings attention to the face, which should be the focal point. Keep it up.

I received Guilliman on Friday for my birthday. I've been starved of painting time of late so I wanted to make the most of a family get together to do some painting in. I finished him and thought I'd share, it's not Golden Daemon but it's me at my best!      Thanks for looking! |

Thanks Kirsten! I raided my bitz box last night and this bloke is what I came up with. He's going to be my Locartus Strike leader. The Locartus are an Ultramarines legion specific assault squad. Here's the pics:     Next up will be whatever I can salvage from the bitz box! |

So much new stuff. To echo everyone else Guilliman looks really fantastic, as do the army pictures.

Damn man, I love the gladius under the shield. I can't wait for some plastics so I can basically steal everything you've done.

I still can't see them releasing plastics that are half the price of the resin figures. Maybe they will design completely new minis but can't see them overlapping.
