Ardias, Captain of the Ultramarines 3rd Company. My best intentions are to make sure the world knows that the Ultramarines, despite the efforts of young men who know not what they do when they dip their Space Marines head-first into Ultramarines Blue...

This is a simple assembly using the parts from the Space Marine Commander boxed set, along with the head from the plastic Devestator Sergeant and the chestplate for the Sergeant out of the Tactical Squad set. For once, there's acutally no drybrushing on the whole model. That's quite an achievement for me.

He's a gaming figure, so I didn't bother much where his eyes were concerned. Being shocked at how he looks a little too similar to Clint Eastwood for it to be an accident, he got grey hair. So sue me. I sprayed him with a light dusting of satin Purity Seal and he came out pretty nice, I might start doing that with all my Marines.

So remember. Next time you see a kid with an 'Ultramarine' army and you find your internal organs worming into ash? Remind yourself that there of those of us with faith and skill.
