So a few weeks ago I got the urge to build an Ultramarines army and figured I would start with the leader of the entire 1000 pt army i plan to build and then work from there. Even if I decided at a later time to not build the project I would still have a pretty sweet looking model for the display case. I have always love the Ultramarines and there whole story and color scheme. Now I know that the 5th company usually has green trim on there shoulder pads, but I felt it was necessary to kinda make this company my own. So I went with Gold instead. On the standard units I will be doing green trim on both pads, but he's the leader so he gets the special treatment. Now when I set out building this model I had a good idea of what I wanted him to look like, an awesome unique backpack, a cool banner, not the standard ones you usually see, and of course a sick power weapon, such as an Axe. So after I dug through my bits trays and found what i was looking for I built the model and what you see is what I cam up with. The it cam time to paint. Now I like adding gold trim to my Ultramarines, just think it looks better then the flat blue, so I will be doing this on every model.
The paint job took me a few days. I started with the blue of course. Then painted
