Winterdyne Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Nottingham, UK.	[Commission] Ultramarines tactical squads... As part of the commission I'm working on the client has requested that his 2 tactical squads get split up into combat squads drawn from other squads. Squad 6 will consist of bolters and a lascannon. This thread will gather all the paintwork on the tactical marines... The client likes the standard shown below, but thought I'd gather some additional feedback here for future reference... __________________ Now taking commissions! PM me for information.

Canfu Member Join Date: Aug 2007	I like them. Easily Tabletop Standard +2, and I agree with Mr. Justin- if you pump out an entire army to that standard, it's going to be beautiful. I, personally, would be thrilled to see that on the opposing table edge . __________________ "Canfu, you are awesome. You stab things so tenderly it is a joy to behold."-Ten Tigers

For tabletop standard, this is golden. __________________ "Ragnar did not want to be inscribed in the annals of the Chapter as the man who lost the Spear of Russ and then killed himself by banging into a rock."

misterjustin GWARARARARAR! Join Date: Dec 2005	The freehand, the different cable colours on the lascannon and the overall attention to detail is simply fantastic. Really top notch work.

Kampvarg Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: In the mountains of Norway	Nice! Quick question: The chain-thingies on the shoulderpads; are those on the sprue, or something you made?

kiwiguy Member Join Date: Feb 2009	Hazchem- The bases are from mister justins 'Trench works' series. Secret weapon minitures I chose them because... well I really liked them! They have the straight edges as opposed to the angled because it provides a few extra mm's for detail on the base in case your question was with regards to that.

Hazchem Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Melbourne, Australia	Kiwiguy, thanks for that. Just looks like the rims are a little tall for forty-kays, that's all.

Winterdyne Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Nottingham, UK.	Apparently Secret Weapon have now resolved the casting issue that was leading to inconsitent base thicknesses. Hurrah!

misterjustin GWARARARARAR! Join Date: Dec 2005	My bases are 1mm thicker than the stock GW base. The issue Wingterdyne is referring to is one I was having with early casts leading to some bases being thicker than others. The bases are now a uniform 3mm thick prior to detailing. This makes them a bit heavier and less prone to tipping over. Some folks think the bases are too tall - others don't like the straight sides - and while I'm willing to admit my bias I happen to like both And now back to your regularly scheduled thread....

Magas Corada Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Somonauk, IL	MAN! That's so awesome! How can I put up my stuff with your amazing work right here? this pretty much makes everything I've ever dreamed of doing just sit down and cry. I've never seen anything like what you did here and I'm liking it more and more each time I see it! __________________ "Brothers!

Exetus Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Afghanistan... again	Man, for a tabletop standard, that's just amazing. I feel sick to my stomach when I see stuff like this because no matter how hard I try and practice, my minis come out looking mediocre at best, lol. I hate Ultras, but fantastic job on them! __________________ Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely and in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy shit... what a ride!" -Peter Sage-
