Captain 3rd Company
This Captain model was released in 1997. The bolt pistol is from a later plastic
kit. Artifer Armour has been hand painted onto the model along with high
gloss refections. The sword has been washed with blue and purple. The gold had been build
up with five older gold paints over white highlights.
Captain 4th Company
Captain
Idaeus normally heads up my
Ultramarines. I've made a couple of minor changes to the Studio model colours schema.
The main difference is the front cloth being an off white colour instead
of red. My Favourite thing about this models is the Thunder hammer.
I don't feel like I'm playing Warhammer unless I've brought at least one
with me. There's nothing quite as satisfying as whacking a tank with a
Thunder Hammer and watching it split down the middle.
Captain
9th
Company
This is a very rare 1992 Limited Edition
Games Day Space Marine Captain, painted as an Ultramarine in 2008. This model is
much rarer that the current limited editions models as only a few hundred were
made. In 1992 games day was a much smaller affaire. Held only in the UK in
a small hall in London there were only a few hundered tickets sold, as a result there
were only a few hundered casts produced. The model was featured in the 40k second
edition rule book as a Dark Angels Captain. There is also a very similar looking
drawing in the 40k 4th edition Space Marine Codex next to the Captain entry on the army list.
Tigurius
Out of production 1995
Ultramarines Chief Librarian Tigurius (painted Ultramarine 2011)
Librarian
Librarian armed with Force Staff and
Bolt Pistol. This Librarian model design was released in 1995 and retired in
2004. This model was painted as an Ultramarine in 2010.
Terminator Chaplain
2004 Mk2 Terminator Chaplain (painted Ultramarine
2008)
Chaplian with Jump
Pack
This is one of the few Finecast miniatures in my collection. There is a small
defect in rim of the jump pack's right vent, other than that this model is a
very good cast. There is no army insignier on the right shoulder pad, so that the
Chaplain can be fielded in my space marine armies.
Space Marine
Veteran Command
Squad
2004 Space Marine Veterans
(Painted Ultramarine 2007-2009)
Elites
Legion of the Damned
This Legion of
the Damned squad is made up from old Metal Rogue Trader era MK8 space marines
and the Limited edition Sargent Centuries from the opening of the 100th Games
Workshop. One Marine has been upgraded to carry a Heavy Bolter taken from a
Landspeader.
Black Reach Terminators
This is the Terminator squad from the 40k 5th
edition black reach box set. The whole squad is armed with Strum Bolters and
Power fists. The Sargent has a power sword instead of a power fist. One Marine
has been upgraded to carry a Cyclone Missile luncher to give the squad some long
range anti tank firepower.
Space Hulk
Terminators
This is
the Terminator squad from the 2nd edition Space Hulk box set. The whole squad is
armed with Strum Bolters and Power fists. The Sargent has a power sword instead
of a power fist. One Marine has been upgraded to carry a heavy Flamer for extra
anti troop Firepower. When combined with Deep Strike this can be
very effective.
Assault Terminators
This Terminator
Assault squad is armed with four pairs of lightning claws while the sargent uses
a thunder hammer and storm shield. This combination is great for maximising anti
troop capability but still retains one storm shied to give a 3+
invulnerable save against heavy weapons and a thunder hammer to penetrate
armored vehicles.
Second Edition Veteran
Squad
A Veteran Squad from the second edition of 40k.
Most of these models where released just before the 2nd edition of 40k came out.
The Sargent was a new model produced for the the 1st and only Codex
Ultramarines. None of these models are sold by games workshop now. The combat
squad leader wares a banner with an Iron Halo to indicate his role as squad
"Veteran" (fluff that has been subsequently dropped by Games Workshop). The
Veteran in this squad is one of 3 metal MK8 power armour poses Games Workshop
produced. The arms are part of the metal cast for this model the other 2 MK8
poses use the MK7 plastic arms.
Forge World Limited Edition Boarding Marine
This is the
Limited Edition 2011 Forge World Event Boarding Marine. This forms part of an
unlikely Vanguard Assault squad. MK3 armour is weeker at the rear. It was
designed for boarding Space Hulks so all the protection is at the front of the
suit. This Veteran must be increably skilled to stop opponents get through the
week rear armour. A storm shield partly makes up for the armours weekness.
The Jump Pack on this model has been taken from a MK5 assault marine.
Sterngaurd
2008 Stern
guard: Painted Ultramarine. Sternguard are one of the best elite choices in
the Space Marine army I rarely go into battle with out them. Their 30 inch
ammunition enables them to out-range most other units in 40k, while they AP3
ammo can rip through anything but the toughest armour. If taken with Pedro
Kantor they can also act as troops. Two squads of ten can be game winning in
this combination.
Tyranid Hunters
2004 Tyranid Hunters: Painted
Ultramarine. These are the older versions of the Sternguard models know as
Tyranic war veterans or Tyranid hunters. This squad is just armed with bolters
as they really need nothing else to make them formidable. The model holding a
banner is the Skulz Limited Edition Ultramarine Standard Bearer representing the
squad leader.
This squad achieved best in store Castle Hill in the
Warhammer 40k Squad Category of the 2010 Australian Golden Demon
Dreadnought

Missile Luncher for maximum firepower. The Sarcophagus panted red to denote this

versatility and a Melta Gun for close range anti tank
fire power. The Sargent is armed with a plasma pistol to

and Back pack from the Devastator box set have been used on the
Missile luncher marine.
Scouts
Ultramarine scouts armed
with sniper rifles and bolters.
Fast Attack
Third Company MkII Land Speeder
The MkII landspeeder look very simular to the
curent MkIII
design. While these are refered to as pre-hesary, but they are not the
orignal rouge trader design witch had no front amour to protect the riders. This
is Landspeeder is armed with a Multi Melta and heavy flamer, both short ranged
weapons. Arriving by deapstike these cheep skimers can inflict significant pain
on both troops and tanks.
Forth Company
MKIII Land
Speeder
This MkIII Land
speeder is armed with a heavy Bolter, for anti infrantry fire power. Used as a
highly mobile response unit Land Speeders can get to where support is needed
fast, then turbo boost onto objectives later in the game.
Forth Company Assault Squad
This 4th Company Assault squad contains MK3,
MK5, MK6 and Mk7 power armour. The collectors range
Sargent carries a power sword and one of marines is equipped with
a flamer. The Mk3 helment is made from green stuff. The Mk5 marine
is from Forge world.
Mk6 Assault Squad
This plastic five man Assault Squad
version was built to complete a 10 man MKVI assault squad with some old metal
models. There are 3 helmets from the rouge trader space marine boxset RT101 and
2 from the 1998 Assault Squad box set. The shoulder pads were saved up from
other Tactical Squad box sets
Heavy Support
Devistator Squad
Devistator Squad Armed with LasCanon,
Plamsa Canon and two Heavy bolters. The Sargent is equiped witha Boltgun and
Chainsword. This squad has been built using the standard plastic parts with the
exception of the vetran who has an arm from the RTB01 set.
Land
Raider
Mk3 Landraider. The Multimelta from the Landraider
crusader has been added to give extra antitank fire power. A storm bolter is
also fitter to reduce the chance of a primary weapon being distroyed. The
Ultramarine icon from the drop pod kit has been used next to the heavy bolter.
This tank was undercoated black, then painted with Ultramarine Blue and
Ultramarine Blue and Space Wolve Grey highlights.
