Hi all, its Rich back again. I had a little break from hobbying recently whilst my wife and I moved house, but I’m back in the flow again with a permanent space set up for me to paint. I’ve been enjoying the early issues of Conquest magazine including the back story to the Primaries Marines as I haven’t followed the background story of 40k since the end of the gathering storm campaign.
This time I wanted to do something totally different with the Ultramarines, my second edition inspired force is very bright and colourful so I wanted to try something completely different for a more modern force. I didn’t want the Ultramarines to lose their ostentatious ornamentation so I went with plenty of gold but kept the main body of the armour black with just a few spots of a darker blue. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out but I’d love to hear what you think. Without further ado here is my take on Lieutenant Calsius.
Thank you so much 🙂
Wow, that is gorgeous!! First time I ever felt like painting ultramarines, so menacing! Great scheme!
