Rhelyk's Primaris Ultramarine force, now with Custodes allies

[Rhelyk]

Been detailing their WIP over the last few weeks in this thread in the Ultramarines B&C forum. Army is now complete, just 19 days after the last model was assembled and primed blue. Pretty stoked about it. Still have some models to assemble and paint for it, but the main force is comeplete. Should hopefully get my first game in thursday, likely against some IG player with 20 half-built, unpainted leman Russ tanks that'll blow me away completely before my 2nd turn

That's a great little army and I love the berets on the 'scouts' (can't remember their name) . Top work.

As for your opponent... he'll be blown away by your fully painted army so you'll just have to mop up

Brilliant, amazing production rate (as opposed to 19+ years ...http://ultravanillasmurf.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/work-in-glacial-progress.html)

19days!?! That’s impressive for such a quality painted force!

[Curis]

Cracking army!  Love that you'd done not just one but TWO Contemptors!

[eMills]

Army looks great, especially all together. 👍

What heads did you use on the Reivers? I like them but I can't place them.

[Rhelyk]

Thanks guys. Been building the army since late November, but I specifically waited until everything was assembled to get and ready for paint so i could blow through it all more or less at once. Gamer-ADD means I only have a few weeks of attention span to do a project before some new shiny comes along.

Beret heads on the Reivers are Elite Force heads from . I do like the Reiver helmets, but wanted something a little different and I love the wrap-around cyber bits that come around the head and up over the jawline, looks like Robocop took off his visor and popped on a beret.

@Ultravanillasmurf - oh I have some of those projects too in fact my original attempt at Ultramarines from a 2005 slow-grow league is still in my closet. I'd gotten 2 units, a commander and 2 dreadnoughts and a land speeder painted for the league and the rest only primed or left in bits intending to be assembled. They've been sitting in my closet since then, coming out occasionally only to be ransacked for other projects. I only have the 2 painted squads left and some devastators, I think, it's one of the reasons I wanted to make sure they got completed this time around

[Rhelyk]

Added a few more to the pile. Captain was already painted, I just decided to switch the head to a terminator head.















I know there's a Magnus player at my shop, took some preliminary steps. I figure Guilliman doesn't need help, but he won't turn it down

[Andym]

Wow! I’m suprised how well that terminator head-swap works!

[fourcolorfigs]

Brilliant! Wow.

[Rhelyk]

finished the Chaplain and added a bit of bling to the army. There's no rules for the Sagittarum Guard in 8th ed as far as I know, hopefully FW comes out with some rules for them beyond 30K, but they are awesome models and I just had to do a squad of them, even if I have to counts-as regular Custodes. Frustratingly, the regular Custodes squads are out of stock everywhere, but I got a unit of the terminators and also Valoris in the meantime. All were great fun to paint, airbrushed Vallejo Metal Color, edged in silver then given a dark brown oil wash to pick out the details and darken them down. I debated leaving the lion pelt off valoris and cutting down the feather plume on the shoulderplate, but decided in the end to do them both as they add a lot of frill to the character. I decided to keep the halberds silver instead of the turquoise to keep the attention on the models themselves, I didn't want a splash of color off to one side

More solid work.

Lovely paint and they will fit in perfectly

Cracking work and though I don't normally like saying anything nice about Ultramarines the terminator helmet swap works really well.
