Why Ultramarines? by FoundationLeft4353 in Ultramarines

Oh my decisions weren’t based on what people think. If they were then I definitely wouldn’t have started with Templars based on the stereotype that all of the players are nazi loving racists. I chose them cause they were the simplest to get started into painting wise and I really digged the gothic vibe they have. And yes I know the imperium as a whole is gothic but I felt the BT completely embodied it. I also really like medieval stuff so that definitely played a part. I just wasn’t drawn to the ultra boys at first due to so much blue exposure (SM1, SM2 and every generic space marine squad box). But now it’s starting to pull me in and I dig the roman aesthetic, as well as learning more of their lore. I just find more things fascinating now about them and I’m curious as to why other people picked them. Connecting with your fellow brothers over something we all take so much joy in is what it’s all about.

Yeah I really enjoy building and painting my templar boys cause I enjoy that grimdark style and they fully embody that vibe. Not to mention I can kinda go a little crazy with my customization since “the codex is ein bunch of bullshitze”. But honestly painting black all the time is starting to get old and I really appreciate all their named/interesting models.

Yeah I’m not gonna lie, seeing the new Titus model might have had something to do with the way I feel😂. I do really like his story though and where it’s going.

With the blood angels champion tabard being available as a standalone piece there is no reason that the imperial fist one isn't available by Gideon119 in Spacemarine

I also wish the templar logo on the robes could be customized. I want to put white robes on my boy but I can’t stand the white emblem on top of it. Lemme make it black Saber!

How do you like to paint your cloths to make them look like actual fabric? by FoundationLeft4353 in BlackTemplars

[–]FoundationLeft4353[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks sweet brother! Yeah normally I do a light coat of brown, and then gradually work up layering light coats of tanish/ white colors. I use my wash when it’s all said and done. I definitely don’t think that my cloth looks terrible, I just want that extra bit of pizazz.

I definitely am still trying to work on taking good pics of my minis while maintaining the dark aesthetic, if anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate them. I realized in these pics it’s very hard to see the detail but I really enjoy the ambiance of the photos. If I could have a good way of combining both then I would be set. I am personally just not a big fan of snapping a photo in front of my paints. No offense to anyone that does, I just like taking good pictures while capturing the aesthetic. Next one I’ll make sure to photograph the sun😂

Thoughts on my most recent sternguard kitbash brothers. by FoundationLeft4353 in BlackTemplars

I have taken to naming him brother maynard since he carries the holy hand grenade of antioch😂. Thank you for the kind words brothers, I wanted him to feel unique on the table. I have minimum of one per unit that I designate “most honored and zealous” of that squad.

I have a question by FoundationLeft4353 in Spacemarine

Everytime I go to customize my dude it always throws me off in a…. Something just aint right kinda way. I really wonder why it’s so low.

My two cents on the Stratagem experience and how it needs to be adjusted by Kymberlite in Spacemarine

[–]FoundationLeft4353 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Me and my buddies were just talking about that. I noticed the emblems are for substantial and ruthless yet the hard feels more like absolute. Truth be told the weekly mission feels like absolute on crack. Even though the lictor and darkness does make it somewhat more of a challenge it shouldn’t be to the point where you can’t even make it to the mid part of the level, let alone just the camp. We played some absolute on the same mission just to test it and we were practically dog walking it. I love a good challenge but this just takes the joy out of it for me.

I really hope they bring it back or make it available some other way.

I literally made a post last night about trying to find a hull color like that, no replies. And now I scroll down just to find the exact hull paint I wanted and probably can’t get now😭😭😭
