Ultrasmurfs
This army isn't new but I had just given it a very basic paint job to get it on the table for 8th edition. As I now have time on my hands, sigh, I decided to tart them up a bit.
I wanted to give my Ultramarines a completely different feel to the Blood Angels as they are based on the 'safe' side of the Great Rift. Their armour and vehicles are clean, well maintained, waxed and polished....and in general they are better equipped. This is a mechanised detachment rather than an infantry raiding force.
1. HQ characters, Captain (5 points), three Lieutenants, one a Reiver (at 4 points each), and a Librarian converted from spare Primaris model (5 points).
2. Battleline Repulsor IFV (16 points) and two five-man Intercessor Squads (at 5 points each).
7. Battleline Tactical Squad of Old-Style Marines (10 points).
3. Heavy Fire Support Hell Blaster Squad (5 points).
4. Fast Attack Inceptor Squad (6 points).
5. Elite Reiver Squad (5 points) and Primaris Ancient (4 points).
6. Elite Scout Sniper Squad (4 points).
8. Contemptor Dreadnought (8 points).
9. CAS Stormtalon Gunship (9 points).
10. CAP Stormhawk Interceptor (10 points).
If I fielded the lot, the army comes to 112 points.
My goodness, what a smurfy looking lot that is!

DeleteLove the metallic look you've given them, they look amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt...I wanted them to look shiny and 'guardsman' like.
DeleteVery shiny indeed, John. It must be all that lapping paste, with time on their hands. :-)
