WIP: Ultramarines Veteran Squads Complete


Wrapped up a couple veterans squads before 8th edition arrives.

More progress on my veterans. Slow and infrequent due to lack of desire to paint marines, but done none-the-less. (no, I will not be getting the new starter - I don't need to paint more marines... ever)




Still, I love the look of the white helmets on the blue armor. I decided to paint the right shoulder pauldrons and weapons white as well, to set them apart from the main force. I wanted to kit them with more unique combi weapons, but only one came in the basic marine kit, so I had to bash a few multi-meltas together.


I'll run these as two, five man squads. The Sgt. with the red helmet is the first Space Marine Sgt. I've ever done with a helmet on. A hallmark of my army has been that all leaders are bare faced. But I couldn't pass up the chance to paint the red helmet against the blue armor, as seen on the cover of the previous codex!

  2. LOVE the gold-trimmed white components on the weapons. Gives them a super classy, premium/rare relic look. Stealing it!
