Ultramarines 1st Co Stadard Bearer
This is one of my favourite models of the army, I wanted to show him as part of the Command squad he's meant to be part of, but the size of his banner meant I couldn't get close enough to do it all in a single pic. His tabard like nearly all of them is modelled in Milliput (I hadn't really "discovered" GS at the time), as is the little symbol on his shield & the bits inside his arm joints. I wanted the 1st Co to have have a really large banner, I couldn't imagine any self-respecting Terminantor carrying anything as small as the cut out n' stick GW banners, so it was kind of an excersise in getting it to be the right size without looking completely stupid on the gaming table. The text on the banner is the entirety of the Roboute Guilliman "They shall be strong of body, unsullied by doubt & self-aggrandisement.. //..so it shall be for a thousand times a thousand years, unto the very end of time and the extinction of mortal flesh" quote, just incase anyone's slightly interested, I entered it into an online Latin translator to get the text, so forgive me if the translation isn't 100% perfect. ;) As always, any thoughts you care to share, ideas for next time & crits gladly heard & is appreciated. Cheers!
