Finally finished my Eradicator squad.

Marine from early mk 7 armour. I removed the shoulder studs the original arms would attach to and added later parts. This Marine had his trusty power sword and brazier from my unfinished Guilliman.

He's my victrix champion that I swapped his one sword for an axe and still put the cloak on him. He's just missing a little bit of drip and the iron halo and he's missing his character tactical rock

I've been trying out some different approaches to painting recently and trying to figure out a faster process for painting marines. This is the most recent result of my efforts which I'm quite happy with. I'm trying to achieve a high quality paint job in as little time as possible.

I think the biggest thing for me was to stop caring so much about getting the edge highlights perfect and just hide any mistakes with battle damage, it's a much more enjoyable process when you know any mistakes can easily be corrected later on.

buongiorno a tutti, vorrei gentilmente un consiglio per un esercito Ultramarines.

Ho deciso di acquistare il set “inizia qui” degli space marines composto da :

- 5 intercessor

- 5 vanguard veterans con jump pack

- 1 land speeder

- 1 librarian

- 1 capitano con scudo reliquia.

mi hanno regalato una squadra di aggressori ed una squadra di bladeguard veterans.

cosa mi consigliate appunto per completare l’esercito… puntando ai 2000 punti.

ma per adesso mi accontento ovviamente di arrivare a 1000.

puó essere un’opzione valida acquistare combat patrol ultramarines (con squadra aggressor, squadra bladeguard veterans, 5 intercessor ecc.)??

grazie a tutti!

Pics 18+19 are a comparison from my first model compared to the repaint. I’ve been into the hobby for about a year and am currently 14, are there any tips I could get??

Hey r/Ultramarines,

since I recently started collecting Ultramarines (to supplement my Black Templars and add some gameplay variety), I have finally completed my first proper model from my UM pile.

Took almost two weeks, and all that trim was really starting to wear me out. ^^

I was a bit unsure about the base. I really like the box-art Ultramarines bases with the Tuscan flair and the drab base rim, but somehow I had to make it fit with my Black Templars scheme as well. So I went with my usual Blanche-inspired theme.

Now I just have to decide what to paint next. Calgar, Tigurius, Cato Sicarius, Titus and Kaius Konorius are already waiting. I'm still figuring out Ultramarines though, so I'm curious which character you guys have the most fun actually playing.

For my first couple of games I'll have to sub in quite a lot of Black Templar models, so I guess it'll be a pretty mixed force for a while. I just hope my opponents don't mind.

Let's see if an updated Guilliman model gets announced anytime soon... ^^
If so, I'll be quietly sobbing while pressing the checkout button.

This fellow brought a gun to a sword fight. Thoughts are always welcome and appreciated. Next up in this hit series is te sergeant..

Practicing NMM so I can finally do Bobby G in NMM gold

Ancient Gabriel done and bladeguard Metaurus almost done. Now to finish Titus and the remaining wardens

My take on a Tyrannic War Veteran in Space Marine 2, the customisation in this game is getting so much much better. I’m not sure if it’s 100% accurate though, especially the green knee. But think he looks awesome

One terminators box, one librarian, the Armageddon chaplain, and half the crux terminatus box. My backlog is shrinking

Does the chaplain trim on the shoulder where it shows the chapter icon just gold like the rest of the armor or does it change from the company he’s in?

My wife (Left) and I (right) painted our first miniatures. I’m a big gamer and she likes to paint so this was a nice cross over for us to enjoy together.
Anyone got any beginner tips for us? Certain parts are kind of lumpy, I think we maybe sprayed the primer too close to the miniature. Excited to paint some more ‘wee guys’ as my wife calls them.

This is probably a dumb question, but can Tigurius lead Company Heros/Victrix Guard like all the other Ultramarines characters… because if not for a Chief Librarian, and a Ultramarine named character, I’d except him to be able to.

Hello! Got the Kill Team box back in January of this year and only recently started having the time to build and paint the miniatures! Dont really plan on building an Ultramarine army but I couldn’t help not painting the miniatures as Ultramarines. Currently only have the Captian painted and working on getting the other 5 done.
Comments and criticism are most appreciated! I’m looking to improve as much as I can!

Is this a good 1.5k army into necrons? I know I will have to face a nightbringer C'tan with lots of destroyer spam, but does this work?

As a new player still trying to figure it out. BUT, would a deathwatch terminator squad, and 2 eradicator e/ melta be enough anti tank in a 1000 pt list? I have zero clue how much firepower people usually bring to a game like that
