Very well done. Love the clean and bright paintjobs, especially the (slightly converted?) Lieutenant.
Also nice inspiration for my own set. :D

Very sharply painted :) ... shame it's a vanilla chapter but, as Ultras go, these are the business :)

Agreed.  Excellent brushwork, sharp, crisp and cohesive.  Like many people I can't express in words how boring I find Ultramarines, but the only kind of Ultramarines I can stand...are nicely painted Ultramarines. :)  Well done.

Great looking Smurfs!  Did you do some swaps on the shoulder pads?

How is there a Primaris "Ancient"?  Haven't they, like, just come out of the vat or something?

Apparently no, the techpriest, Cawl, has had them kicking around for a bit.

"Ancient" however, is a title for the standard bearer. Been around since at least 2nd edition.

Non-tangent: Good looking Ultras.👍

Yep, these Shoulderpads are all from the Ultramarine Upgrade Set.

These are enviably clean and crisp!  Nice work.  Did you save the Captain until last as a treat?

You would not fit a Primark marine in a standard Dreadnought. ^___^

Excellent model.

First I heard of it (but then I have only ever seen the stores, never been in one, did not know where they came from). I thought it might be a quality control joke, but apparently not.

Apparently the pronunciation has taxed Lorraine Kelly.

Still missing the white stripe on the sergeants head... had to look it up if it is still canon.

Lovely work on those Terminators - they're they snap-fit one from the old starter box aren't they?  :-*

The stripe is still canon - markings-wise everything still is canon basically, and the Primaris stuff is new on top of that. :)

More fantastic work. Love the vibrant colours you achieve.

Re the white stripe: Terminators are veterans. According to the Codex Astartes at least, a veteran sergeant's (red) helmet bears markings of veteran colour (white). Stripes are common, but also small coloured features (such as skulls or stars) are allowed to indicate officer rank and/or veteran status.

God, how sad to remember such nonsense… lol

Stripes are common, but also small coloured features (such as skulls or stars) are allowed to indicate officer rank and/or veteran status.

Laurels are a common helmet-marking alternative to just having the helmet all white, although sometimes this is reversed. White laurels on a red helmet is a common version of this for the sergeant. Reversed versions of this are also canon - so for Ultramarines, having blue laurels on a white helmet for troopers and red laurels on a white helmet for the sergeant.

However, this isn't very usual for Terminators (who have pretty limited space on their helmets), and so the stripe is the usual way of marking them. I say usual, aside from the red and white helmets, I've only ever seen bare heads as the other option!

Nah, you're far from the only one here!  ;D  lol

Well that comparison between the dreads is just crazy!
Can you put a primaris marine in that comparison too? curious to see if the old dreads really are too small for a half dead primaris marine!

Glad there's more.

Thanks for the comparison photo of the Primaris Dread next to the old one.  It's huge!  In my mind it's scaled only marginally bigger than the Castraferrum.  Games Workshop should do more comparison photos like yours to impress on people the scale.

Apparently no, the techpriest, Cawl, has had them kicking around for a bit.

"Ancient" however, is a title for the standard bearer. Been around since at least 2nd edition.

It's also just a historical term meaning "standard bearer," or more generally "junior officer." Like Ancient Pistol in Henry IV.
