Since its armies on parade figured I’d get my boys out.
Taking army pictures is hard!
Missing a couple of incomplete units but this is pretty much everything Ultra I’ve painted since 2021
#WarhammerCommunity
Warhammer+ is up for renewal, I’m pretty amazed at myself that I’m considering not resubscribing.
Nothing new in the vault for 10 months.
Last 2000 point 40k batrep over 4months ago
Last hammer and Bolter 13 months.
One animation in 2024, Broken lance, over 5 months ago.
@SwanForge
I hate that a bunch of boring spoil sports try to make Ork players stop shouting waaaagh. If youre not shouting Waaaaagh whats the point in playing orks imo I love it when I hear someone do it.
LETS GO!!
I was just wondering when this might show up and man, I needed this right now.
Titus for scale.
Does anyone want an unboxing thread? Cause you’re gonna get it anyway!!

If you’ll indulge me, my issue is summed up by Tolkien in his essay “on fairy stories”
I’ve spent years of my life in the world of 40K. There are rules that were true in the 60+ novels, codex’s & articles.
The story teller has failed, the illusion is broken. This is a huge pity
@alt_world
The essay is 41 pages long. I posted three paragraphs from it in an honest attempt at discussing with you (and in response to your 10+ paragraphs)
As others have said, suicide is not a joke, that’s uncalled for
I’m sorry I bothered to engage with you, I thought you were genuine
My biggest problem with
#SpaceMarine2
is that progression is primarily about character cosmetics.
You can spend 5-10 minutes chilling and making your guy look fantastic only to queue and get out onto the chaos side.
Either let us queue as imperium or give chaos unlockables too.
Back on the painting desk this morning after binging space marine 2 for a month to finish Marines 71-80, Squad 8 of the firstborn Battlecompany project.
Just 20 to go, a devastator & a tactical squad. I’m thinking tactical has to be last surely.
Fun Ultramarines fact of the day.
Leandros is a stickler for the codex, so much so that he makes the perfect chaplain.
But did you know why he is?
As a young marine his company was in battle against the elder. He was caught and used as bait to lure in then Captain Trajan who went
@CasualHammerer
The only point to Warhammer 40K was to make Bryan Ansell a tonne of money while making a really fun tabletop game. While I don’t think the YouTube comment is actually the CEO of sabre (I mean come on “hello ceo of sabre here) I’m glad they just focused on making a cool game
@alt_world
I’ve never seen you before, nor did I know who you were before today. This is the first we’ve literally ever spoken.
Try and remember there are individuals behind every user not some hive mind.
You’re not being who you claim you are, you’re being pretty damn rude actually.
Marines 51-60. Tactical squad 4.
Their banner took inspiration from Book 4 of the Ultramarines series, Courage and Honour, named for the city of bridges Olzetyn
I think I’m going to pull the trigger on “Project firstborn Battlecompany”.
100 marines, 2000 points. It can be done!
The question is, what company to make them?
Not the 1st or 2nd, nor 6th-10th.
This leaves 3rd, 4th & 5th & Red, green or black trim.
I’m leaning towards 3rd.
All the way from 1995, I’m almost tempted to leave it unopened, but for real it’s time for Calgar to get his banner back.
Curious to see what else is inside it too.
@NameWasTaken413
Then you’ve missed huge swathes of them, they’re full of brotherhood, trust, forgiveness, courage, honour, stoicism in the face of evil and conquering fear and betrayal.
How odd that you read all the books and missed that.
Finished the Vindicator!
It’s been sat in my pile of shame for too long so I’m happy to know it’s completed & ready for Saturdays game.
#WarhammerCommunity
For eleven hundred years, I have fought. I have seen the darkness in our galaxy, the vileness of the alien & the heresy of the mutant.
So fear not & be proud, for we are the sons of Sanguinius, the protectors of Mankind.
Aye, we are indeed the Angels of Death
#WarhammerCommunity
First game I’ve had in almost a month today (hopefully)
If I can’t find a tournament player to practice my 2k list with then my guilty pleasure army is getting a run.
The demi-company and supporting dreadnought (990 points)
I hope the upcoming points changes don’t mess with it
Marines 31-40 Tactical squad
#3
Naming the Squad & banner has been fun.
In book 3 Ventris is expelled from the chapter & ventures to Medrenguard, but there’s a graphic novel that follows the 4th company during that time where they man the walls of Herapolis VS Orks, that’ll do!
Seven years ago a Titan left
Some day I hope Games Workshop will give us a way to get the Black books Alan Bligh made.
Even without the rules I’d love a copy of the Black Books.
But reminder that the imperial armour, including Alans genius work on Badab are in the Vault at least
@CasualHammerer
I’ve never understood why people think it’s satirical, I don’t see it. I see lots of authors and writers making it ironic, but satire? Nah.
If it IS satirical then they failed, ppl really need to understand that satire is suppose to make fun of something not make it look
And we’re done!
It was good to be back to painting a unit after a couple months of tanks & characters.
I was pretty nervous about using the new formula munitorum varnish but it doesn’t seem any different to my eyes.
#WarhammerCommunity
I’ve take some time today to read Tolkiens essay “On fairy stories”
I thoroughly recommend it to anyone that might be mocking or struggling to understand why people are upset with things in the Warhammer universe
Here’s a couple of pages regardless
#warhammer40k
Haven’t done any modelling or painting hobby since the middle of July. It’s time to correct that!
50 marines to go, I wonder if I can stay motivated and make armies on parade, when is that, end of September right?
Been thinking about this quote a lot and how Games Workshop has strayed from its truth. (Yes I’m still salty)
“Fantasy needs to be grounded. It is not simply a license to do anything you like. Ignore canon, and the world you’ve created comes apart like tissue paper”
- GRR Martin
Took another stop by the flgs for the last day of their 25% sale (ontop of the already 10-15%)
Figured if I was buying all this firstborn stuff I should get at least one unit that’s meta.
Also I love the red technical gem paint, so I’ve got high hopes for the green/blue version
Feel like now is as good a time as there will be to repost my Lieutenant Titus mini.
Slightly changed up by giving him my favourite weapon, the Thunderhammer.
#SpaceMarine2
Managed to get an introduction to Boarding Actions, took 30 first born marines and Uriel Ventris for what I thought was going to be a joke but it turns out they’re really really effective.
Was pretty funny to see Uriel one shot a broodlord.
@RulerOfHumanity
Sorry big E, everyone is preordering this one.
It’s even beaten the new call of duty making it to the number one best seller slot on steam.
Join us.
@Ken_Gee_Draws
Holy hell, even someone clearly as talented as whoever painted that Minka face still couldnt make it look right. I mean its much much better but still. The other ones are all great but Im not a hater on those to begin with in the way I am these new ones and that Minka head
Why can’t I buy these GW?
I would literally have one for everyone I know.
People would buy them especially if they don’t already collect ultramarines.

Picked up a Cato Sicarius model 2nd hand, but it came with no base. Wahpedia says 25mm but that looks pretty daft.
Does anyone in Twitter land have the model and can confirm the size?
#warhammercommunity
Well it turns out that quoting Guillimans speech to Lorgar from “Know no Fear” isn’t a good idea as it might get you banned on X.
Appeal sent in.
In the mean time, I’m looking for people to follow and maybe some followers!
#WarhammerCommunity
Picture for attention.
Marines 41-50 completed for the full Demi-company.
I ran into the problem with going to squad 10 that I’ve not read all the Ventris books yet so the naming of this squad & banner will have to come later.
Turns out that the Callidus assassin is really good in tournaments, it also turns out that Games workshop is allergic to money so won’t make sure they’re stocked.
One raid of the vaults later & I’ve dragged my old one into the light. It’s still tournament legal right?
I’ve been reminded that the Grand Tournament I’ve entered is only a month away, so the firstborn project will have to be shelved while I work on not embarrassing myself.
So in not unrelated news I’m going back to imperium magazine, issues 86-88!
I’m about finished with the demi company, just this last devastator squad to finish & so it’s time to restock for the 2nd half.
Wayland games seems to be the best price online I can find with 20% off, but is there somewhere with a better discount?
Picture for attention.
