there are more pics you can go see. power armoured chaplain, cataphractii Praetor, and Mk IV tactical squads. what is not to like? they are the same as the 40k tactical squad, just Mk IV armour and 30k weapon designs. I think they are amazing. I will probably buy about ten of them.

After a raid on my bitz box I've managed to finish 2 more Tactical marines. My Suzerain have arrived so it's happy days! I'll aim to get them built and at least one painted ASAP. Really excited about these the kit is a thing of beauty! Here's some pics of the tacticals:

Have you gotten any games in with these guys yet?

Got my first game with the Ultramarines on Saturday. It's an Apocalypse battle so should be a lot of fun! I've finished the first of my Suzerain, pretty pleased for the most part, they'll be a retinue for Guilliman.

Damn son. I wish I had something more insightful to say or something useful at least but I just need to look more.

Thanks man! I'm not completely happy with the face plates but I'm trying to improve them as I go. As a rule I don't tend to rework models once they're finished! I need that sense of completion to keep me moving forward! I got 3 more of these Suzerain then I'm adding some mobility and anti tank firepower (got a Landraider so far). Here's the pics of my latest effort: I think if I use a bit more patience I can start to improve the gold work but we'll see.

Managed a bit of time for some painting, still working on my Suzerain, got 1 left then it's time for something faster.... Here's the latest effort:

Got all the Suzerain done now. I need to add some mobility to the force. I have a Landraider and I got myself a Scimitar Jetbike (pure 30k goodness!) Here's the Suzerain as a group: This is the sergeant for my Jetbike squad: Absolutely loved painting this!

I've had time to finally finish the Landraider to transport Guilliman and the Suzerain! I used a lot of the decals from the Forge World Ultramarines sheet. These are easy to use and for someone like me that sucks at free hand I highly recommend them. Here's the pics: Next up is the pile of untouched resin that will be my Sicaran. I should hopefully get it glued together tonight.

That's a brilliant Land Raider for your HQs.. The golden stripes are very neat.

Nice work bro! I especially liked the bayonet-style bolters!

Thanks guys. I'm using the Landraider to transport Guilliman and the Suzerain. I wanted it too look a little flasher than the norm. Next up is my first Sicaran Battle Tank.

Once again these look fantastic man, just wanted you to know that I'm using your thread here as about 75% of the inspiration for the ultramarine Legion force I'm just starting. Can't wait to see more.

Great looking marines you have here. Inspiring use of bitz/kits.

Can't wait to see more. That's massive praise, thanks very much! I get a lot of relaxation from painting, I'm glad you find my work inspirational! Spent the whole day today getting it done, I'm pleased with myself as I hate painting tanks and this month I've done 2! Here's the finished Sicaran.

What a beast; what a beaut I'm quite interested in how this tank plays out in the game. Have you tried using it in Horus Heresy yet? Is it preferable to the standard Predator gun-line tank?

I have used it once. It's pretty tasty, 6 str7 rending shots, plus the Lascannons and Heavy Bolter! In an Ultramarines list that includes Guilliman they come into their own because he can give them Tank Hunters! I intend on getting another one.

That sounds like overkill on weak transports, like a rhino.

Post by judcottrell on Nov 23, 2015 17:24:16 GMT -5
Oh it is! Makes light work of most things. With the rerolls for tank hunters even the mighty Landraider can be glanced to death! As I said Guilliman is key in this, hence why I'll be fielding 2!

I found a picture of an Apothecary in Tempest and really liked the mix of colour, I've adapted it slightly, though in hindsight he does look a bit like a World Eater! Next up will be the Legion Standard Bearer (when the bitz arrive!)

This will be my last update this side of Christmas. Made some real progress recently, thanks to all those who have left replies, it really helps to motivate me. This is probably my favourite model I've done, except for Guilliman and probably the Jetbike. He's the Legion Standard Bearer, he'll be accompanying Guilliman and the Suzerain. Here's the pics:

That's just great. Command squads are one of my favourite units, apothecaries are mad. Yeah to avoid the World Eater look next time make an apothecary with pure white armour and only the shoulder-pad in blue. At least he isn't covered in blood so it should be easy to tell him apart if you're playing against actual, original WE.
Was it tough getting the big transfer on the banner?

Thanks man, next time I'll go all out white. The transfer slid on no trouble at all! The U with the sword through it took more effort!

the colours are the wrong way round to be a world eater, making him white with blue pads would make him a world eater
