Alex's Ultramarines
|
(02-AUG-2011)
For Alex's seventh birthday, I gave him a tactical squad of ten Ultramarines. They're the
plastic models that come in Battle for Macragge - durable, not too many pointy bitz, and
very few parts. I painted them over the course of two months in secret - usually at night after he,
Teagan, and Mommie had gone to bed.
I didn't highlight them, and hadn't finished putting all the finishing touches on them when all-of-a-sudden
his birthday was tomorrow, so I assembled them, flocked them, and wrapped them up in some
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen paper so they would fit in with the rest of his presents.

The sergeant has a bolt pistol and chainsword, and you can see what
looks like a krak grenade on his belt. Anyone who remembers Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate knows that
Ultramarines have green frag grenades and red krak grenades. (103 Kb)

The flamer is the archetypal special weapon for a codex tactical squad. As
much as I like the Second Edition flamer models, this one comes with the Macragge bunch, and he really fits in better with
the other ladz. (88 Kb)

Never call it a "missile launcher" - it has the word "miss" right there in the name! Try
to call it a "rokkit launcha" if you can remember, otherwise you're likely find yourself to rolling 1's when you really need
to blow something up. (93 Kb)
