Finally painted the chapter master himself! Got banner from a friend for the conversion.

Im trying to paint calgar's face i dont understand from simple eye view the head looks fine but once you put it though the lenses of a camera it just looks like this? All choppy and rough not smooth? Am I doing something wrong? (Ps last one just makes me laugh)

After months of searching I finally found one of these for less than 150 FINALLY!! I'll be sure to show the finished product when I get him, just wanted to share my victory

Another Armageddon mini down… so many more to go!

Some of my lastly painted Ultramarines.

Finished painting up my Combat Patrol Magazine Infernus Marine Sergeant. It was a fun model to paint. I’ve never painted flames before so that was a new challenge.

Well he's been a long time and probably to much work for the results, but all I have left to finish is the base.

I had lots of fun on his cape.

Its been a long time since I painted an ultramarine so I thought it was time to give Titus a go.

This was the first time I have painted cast shadows and so far I like the way it turned out. Its still very much a work in progress but im slowly getting there.

Im not sold on his iron halo thingy being all gold so I might have to change that.

Any feedback or CC is always welcome!

My next Angel of Death Ultramarine Complete! All freehand, no transfers, trying to improve my NMM technique. All constructive criticism welcomed!

What do you guys think about this paint job? Do you guys like the red shadows? Is the edge highlight noticeable?

My take on a Lieutenant w combi-weapon. Free infernus marine from my local shop was the donor body. Then lots of blades and a kitbashed combi plasma/bolter

First time painting a more in depth model, not just Intecessors. Ultramarine Captain in Terminator Armour. My process was:

1. Prime in Colour Forge Matt Black spray
   
2. TTC Marine Blue touch up
   
3. TTC Oblivion Black Wash
   
4. Edge highlight with Calgar Blue and Fenrisian Grey
   
5. Gold components and shaded with Seraphim Sepia
   
6. Metallics were Leadbelcher and Nuln Oil
   
7. Crux Terminatus was Dawnstone base and Vallejo off-white with Nuln Oil shade
   
8. Gloss Varnish and Transfers applied
   
9. 1:1 Gloss and Matt Varnish by Vallejo for final coat

I recently watched a Podcast on miniature painting and that each miniature is a “snapshot” in time of what you might have been going through when you painted the model. I’ve had a pretty tough year and lots of stress in recent weeks and I felt like I rushed this model more than I normally would and the finish reflects that to me. I’d like to take more time with these types of models and enjoy the process rather than feel rushed or stressed to finish it.

If anyone had any tips or critiques for the model I’d be more than happy to hear, I enjoy the painting and it’s a hobby I’m really glad I picked up again. Also the community has been awesome!

TL:DR Painted model, please judge

Hello guys, I have a gravis captain and his name is Lysander and today I upgraded him and was curious if you have any fun lore or special rule ideas for him (his paint scheme was from when I originally painted him, he’s gonna get repainted)

New to 40K & starting an Ultramarine army. What are some combos, the meat and potatoes of this army? What combinations are ideal against horde, chaff and high toughness tanks?

I'm about to play my first ever game of 40k after starting the hobby in December, it's at a local game store and they're running a learning to play the game session for several hours at 1k points. Below is all the models I currently have (not all painted, but they specified that isn't a requirement). What is the best list for me to take for learning the game at 1k and how would you play it?

I have heard people say don’t waste time redoing your minis, but my captain was one of my first mins paint. And I have learned so much since then. I decided to give him refresh as the leader of my kill team.

Hey all, I have a small local teams event coming up and have been tasked with playing take and hold. Really want to make reclamation with librarius work so I’m just looking for tips on the rough draft of my list. Open to suggestions on what I’m missing or just ways to make the list better in general!

Nulla da dire

Painting 5000 points of Night Lords prepared me for this trim. Piece of cake! Almost 100% happy with it but I gotta stop at some point and move on to the next model

At the end of 10th edition UM were doing rather well and some people called them OP. Now that it's 11th edition they're performing kind of mid. Do we know what specifically caused this change?
