The army has grown bigger than I thought…. here’s a dump of pictures from the Ultramarine army collection: Laser cut foam packing: The army consists of everything you see here which includes Tigurius, Calgar, Guilliman, Techpriest, Chaplain, LT, Captain (Bladeguard) and Uriel Ventris. What’s all here? – HQ’s/Characters: – Primarch Guilliman: Please note one of his base ‘torches’ aren’t on the base

I’m always amused at how some people despise Ultramarines, but when I started playing them they really weren’t the poster boy, or even cover boys of the Astartes. Back in that day all I saw was Black Templars and Crimson Fists. Those that don’t like him call him names like “Row-boat”, or “Girly-man”. I personally prefer one of his less

What follows is a combination of conversations covering my involvement and history with Ultramarines, and some quick takes on the new Codex units. It took some time, but they are finally back in my possession. For some context, let me say I have painted and sold a ton of armies in my time, and yes there are some regrets along

Well we’re getting close to 2020…. er, I guess I should say we’re a few months INTO 2020, and I haven’t seemed to fall in love with anything I’m playing. I like to rant with the assistance of pictures, so let’s have a look at what I’m painting, and considering. First up the joke that has become the Custodes. I

Well I never thought I would sell my Ultramarines again after selling them two times previously. I took great care to make sure this one would be better than my last two. I wanted this Guilliman to be better than my last. The infantry would be a step up, and I tried to maintain that all the way through to

These bikes just took me forever to finish. Don’t be like me and restart a project 3 times. The temptation to sell sometimes is great, and I need to stop doing it (at least on stuff I’m going to restart)! And now a few touch ups finish off my Telemon Dreadnaughts: And some Ultra updates: Thanks for checking in. -Prot.

I’m not going to waste time with words… it’s time for the man of action himself. I’m not going to lie; this model was started and stopped several times. So I’m just really glad to have him done! This was actually my second Guilliman. Since this is my third Ultramarines army (my first one was sold well before Guilliman existed

Two hobby updates in one week? What is going on? Is Prot unemployed? Is he on a drinking and painting binge? Perhaps both…. Today I bring you one of the units people hopped all over on the NuMarines realease 2.0, the Invictus Warsuit. While a lot of people thing this is an amazing unit, and some are taking 3, I’m

I’ve been working on so many different 40k Projects I decided it was time to finish up a few of the big characters that are featured in a lot of my Ultramarine batreps. Recently I showed the awesome Lieutenant my friend from D6Evolution (shout out to Wes again) sent me from the UK: And to add to that, we finally

Old School versus New School So far the Ultramarines have had a tremendous amount of success since the codex came out. That being said I’ve had very little chance to play some of my more unfavourable matchups: Tau, Eldar, Dark Eldar, etc. On the other hand a lot of wins have come from tough match ups like Necrons (anti infantry),
