It's really cool to see you do a more "traditional" Ultramarines scheme as a comparison to your old school 2nd edition dudes. Out of curiosity, where'd the sergeant's sword come from?  The sword's from the Ultramarines accessory sprue, which also has a little Ultramarines gladius to pair with it. I got a bunch of the sprues for their shoulderpads which I can use on the Betrayal at Calth dudes.Mango Polo posted:That blue and gold go together perfectly. Those are fantastic models.

I had bought the sprues for my 40k dudes, but I don't see myself going back to them for a while.

I really dig the little accessory sprues; my only complaint is that they came out with Space Wolf and Blood Angels ones when they already have really robust kits full of chapter-specific shoulderpads and everything. I don't think the prices are too bad though; 13 bucks gets you enough shoulders for a squad, a few cool weapons, and some extra helmets/chestplate options. It was a hell of a lot cheaper than getting the Forgeworld upgrade bits for my Mk IV dudes, that's for sure.

Got one of my iron circle today, just a quick look over didn't reveal any major problems other than the chain cloth, the backing of it is suuuuper thin. Model looks cool as hell though. Assembly looks really easy.

They have a simplistic aesthetic (sans chest plate) that lends itself to a more "Horus Heresy" look to them. Plus crested helmet! Also pricey but the transfer sheet they released at the same time is pretty amazing. Maybe not quite up to Forgeworld standards artistically but definitely very nice.

Vigilator in scout armour conferring scout and infiltrate to a rhino with a plasma armed tactical support squad in it? Is there a reason this is a bad idea?

A good idea. A drop pod is cheaper though. Also a Proteus is more expensive, but they're less likely to get nuked turn 1. Try it out and post results.

What's a good way to run veteran squads? I'm rolling two big 20-man mobs of tacticals with apothecaries and I'm looking for what to do with the last 10 Marines from Betrayal at Calth. These are for Ultramarines, obviously.

Granted, I already get outflank from the Children's Rite of War blade thingie, so they drive on and hopefully hit something in the side.

In the face of all this power armour I am continuing slowly to prepare my cult militia horde. The pantheon of chaos group did a promotional miniature which I managed to get hold of to be the cult leader... It arrived today! He is a stranger in a strange land, caught somewhere in time in the sea of madness. He has been gone for many wasted years but heaven can wait. Also, Alexander the Great (356-326BC).

They are a good bunch, I completely missed the kickstarter but stumbled across somebody's blog about the pre kickstarter promotion. I emailed them anyway and they simply said "okay, PayPal us a tenner and we will send you one". I am nervous about painting him as I want to do him justice but will be sticking to the album cover closely. I have even started scouring my bits box for s suitable android arm to put on the base... It's a very well done model, the back is well imagined too although it appears that he is wearing cyber-underpants JackMack fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Jun 11, 2016 |

For anyone thinking of getting the Kharybis or Dreadclaw please roll a sanity check, assembly is an adventure in itself but painting is kicking my rear end in all kinds of ways. There are so many nooks and crannies coupled with 10 million different angles and pipes, legs, weapons, thrusters and assorted poo poo I will be painting these for the next 10 years................cool models though pity I have spend the better part of the weekend on them and I reckon only about 2/10ths of the way there.

Now I remember why I didn't paint that much before, I am slow as poo poo at it. Nice smudge on the backpack exhaust. At least I'm glad only this one turned out so dark and the other 4 I base coated are a bit brighter. Mango Polo fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Jun 13, 2016 |

Thanks for the suggestions dudes. I was actually looking at that exact P3 Coal Black theme. Going iridescent might be too much work for me though, gotta hammer out my hams. Also Mango, your little dude looks really good. Like everyone is saying- dat warm white color.
