First Complete 30k Horus Heresy Ultramarine

I had a rare day off work on Friday, the first in several weeks in fact. So needless to say, with 13 hour days being the norm for almost a month it was nice to relax and get some painting done with the sun still up. 

Over the last few weeks I have been working on my first set of five Ultramarines for the Dark Pact Horus Heresy challenge that I and several friends have undertaken. Five Marines by July 10th. With the cost of Forgeworld being what it is I am keen to put as much effort into every figure as is reasonably possible. Below is my first completed Ultramarine in Mk IV armour. 





I opted for a slightly darker take on the Ultramarine look as I am not a fan of super bright power armoured smurfs. Additionally the gold has a worn look that I quite like. Overall the chap is quite subdued in terms of colour and not too bling. Again, not too happy with the lighting of the photograph, I think better lamps are in order. I might post a step-by-step painting guide if I find the time. 

Until next time. Carry on citizen.
