Ultramarine Veteran Elites

It wouldn’t be a proper quarter in the miniature painting biz without some Ultramarines! This time, it was a handful of characters and some of the Veterans and Elites units.

A detailed grouping of miniature figures dressed in blue and white armor, representing a fantasy or sci-fi theme. The scene includes a banner bearer and various characters posed with weapons, set against a dark background.

This is the first project with my new camera. I can tell it’s an upgrade from the one I used before, but I have not yet mastered it enough to get the colors just right, but it’s the first time I don’t run into issues with white details like these veteran shoulder plates against the black background.

A group of six miniature figures in blue armor, armed with swords and shields, standing on a textured base. They feature intricate details, including gold accents and skull motifs.
A group of ten miniature figurines representing armored warriors, standing on round bases. The figures are predominantly blue with details in cream and brown, each holding different weapons. They are arranged in two rows on a dark background.

I got to paint Titus and the Warden of Ultramar for the first time. Much like the Masters of the Maelstrom I painted last month, this is a cool unit that is all unique little characters. And a cool banner.

Also a first for me, the Victrix Honor Guard. I sold my Ultramarines collection before they were released, so I missed out on painting them until now. Again, I got to paint the awesome banner that goes with the unit.

A group of six intricately painted miniature soldiers, wearing blue armor with red and white accents, standing on a sandy base. One soldier is holding a large banner featuring stylized imagery, while others are equipped with various weapons.
A detailed miniature figure of a warrior holding a colorful banner with intricate designs, standing on a textured base.

To round out this project are two more characters, a Librarian (to go with the Sternguards I assume) and a Marneus Calgar, which I had never realized came with a helmeted head option until now.

Even if this was a smaller project, do not fear Ultramarines lovers, as I already have another batch of the boys in blue to add to a past project lined up to paint in November or December.
