Good news everyone, I can't let Gabus be the only with a painting thread, so I would like to let you all know I've painted some Ultramarines for Epic Armageddon: I wanted to have plenty of options so I went ahead and started with 4 Tactical detachments. I was originally going to go with detachments from 4 different companies, but that doesn't seem to be the way that Marneus would field them so I went with the 2nd and 3rd companies. 2 detachments from each company actually comprises all of the tactical marines from each of the companies, so 2 units of Assault marines and 2 units of Devastators from each company will fill them out and completely represent the combat personnel of them both! I wanted to see what I could manage so I went ahead and tried for Chapter markings as no Ultramarine worth his copy of the codex would be seen without I was then faced with the same problem I've got with my Iron Warriors, mainly how to distinguish between the detachments when they get close together on the table. If I had gone for 4 different companies I could have used the shoulder pad trims, but instead I elected to try for different variations of the Tactical Squad markings to distinguish between the 2 detachments from each company. Here are a couple of closer shots showing details Next up are 2 Terminator detachments, and then some dreads for the 3rd company who will be designed for Garrisoning objectives.
