If you remember my new year’s resolutions, I vowed to do more repainting of my older Ultramarine models this year. A good break from painting Eldar vehicles.

So next up is reworking my Assault Squad. On the left you can see a couple of retouched models, on the right the models left to do. As you can see, I refined the highlights, especially on the blue armour. I’ll also remove any wonky freehands and replace them with transfers (as well as adding the correct squad marking to the right shoulder guard). Last but not least, I’ll add brown static grass to the base. This will bring the models more in line with my recently painted Ultramarines.
How about you? Ever tried to fix old paint jobs?

Really good Stahly 🙂 awesome paintjob.
I try to update my older Ultra's too (the first and the second company). I have just finished rhinos and land raiders.
I would like to get a result as clean.
These are looking nice. You've done a nice job with the shading and highlighting on the armour panels, especially considering the low quality assault squad molds (IMO).
I'm thinking of updating the paint scheme on my necrons, along with changing them to bigger bases as it really helps those models. I have quite a few to do though
