Ultramarine Captain finished!

Well at last I've finished (almost) my Ultramarine captain. There are a couple of bits that still need finishing off like the base and some kind of writing on the banner but for now I'm happy.

 

I'm pleased with how this model turned out especially the feathering on the plasma gun and banner. Although time comsuming the feathering effect is well worth the work and it's a fantastic moment when that 10th layer of paint finally starts blending in nicely from the previous colour.



Here's one of the other marines in this squad

Ok so 2 down and about another 8 to go for this squad. I'm currently raiding my bits box and putting together some more marines. For some reason I seem to have a lot of body parts and no legs, might be a trip to eBay to finish the squad off.

On the topic of eBay I noticed a nice looking Ultramarine army that someone was selling and noticed they were using a mixture of old style marines and newer ones. This got me thinking so I dug out my old terminators that came with Space Hulk all those years ago (you know the ones with the twisty body). Anyway I glued them together after getting a lot of the paint off, based them up and have started to prep them for a base coat. Even though the new terminators are better models I do love those old Space Hulk miniatures. I'll keep you posted.
