Many Space Marine strike forces are constructed around squads drawn from a single Battle Company, heavily reinforced by elements of the Veteran, Scout and Reserve Companies. The Ultramarines are also renowned for their realm of Ultramar. This being a region of space in Ultima Segmentum which has prospered with efficient bureaucracy, just and righteous leadership, and the defence of the Ultramarines. This isn't to mention the various (and plentiful) victories won by the Ultramarines in various operations across the Imperium. Apply Micro Sol to the transfer in small amounts letting it dry each time. Each application should see the transfer become noticeably softer and softer until it adheres smoothly to the surface Squads - Terminator Squad, Veteran Space Marine Squad, Assault Squad, Tactical Squad, Devastator Squad, Scout Squad, Bike Squadron Every facet of the opposition's war machine must be dismantled, from supply routes and infrastructure to communications and logistics. Morale must be utterly sapped through non-stop harassment by terror troops and assassination of key individuals. The ultimate goal of this relentless campaign is to leave the foe crippled and helpless before the advance of the main Space Marine battleline.

The exact number of new Chapters created from the Ultramarines is uncertain: the number listed in the oldest known copy of the Codex Astartes (the so-called Apocrypha of Skaros) gives the total as 24, but does not name them all. Self-deprecating introduction aside, JD paints some fantastic-looking Ultramarines that look like they popped off the ‘Eavy Metal box art. With this in-depth breakdown, you too can have an ‘Eavy Metal Ultramarine army!* Similarly, squads of the 7th Company are trained to fight with Land Speeders, Storm Speeders and Stormtalons, often acting as a light vehicle reserve formation. This is the most important step, so we’ll get it out of the way first. We’ll start by recess shading any details with Nuln Oil, giving them depth and shadow. After this, we highlight each and every edge with Calgar Blue, then

Bonding Phase

Once that is dry, I apply dry pigments to the legs to get a dusty effect. Depending on what I’m going for, I might do this more than once with applications of matte varnish at very low PSI in between.

Author’s Note: I tend to finish my bases before I begin the model itself, and use a GW painting handle to prevent paint from being rubbed off. As you are a knight in service of the Emperor, so is the Rhino your steed. Honour it, respect it, see that its needs are met, and it shall serve you well through all the battles you must face." The Space Marines have a number of vehicles designed for besieging foes, such as Vindicators and Ironclad Dreadnoughts, that are ideal at bringing maximum firepower to bear against any fortress. There is no force in the Imperium that can exploit an enemy weakness more rapidly than the Adeptus Astartes. Other Colors: For the rest of the details I used my usual Vallejo Model Color Dark Rust for the leather, Vallejo Model Color Cavalry Brown for the aiguillette across the chest, Vallejo Model Color Buff for the parchment and Vallejo Model Color Magenta for the purity seal wax. Insignium Astartes: The Uniforms & Regalia of the Space Marines by Alan Merrett, pp. 9-38, 40-49, 51Aggressor • Desolation Squad • Eradicator • Hellblaster • Vanguard Eliminator • Vanguard Suppressor • Infernus Squad • Firestrike Servo-turret • Hammerfall Bunker The 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th and 5 th Companies of a Codex-compliant Chapter are known as "Battle Companies" and they all have the same tactical organisation. Theirs is a philosophical deviance. Given that they live for the honour of battle, it is almost certain that the younger Space Wolves will abandon a standard tactical structure in favour of simply rushing headlong at the enemy, howling at the top of their lungs.

Following the end of the Horus Heresy and the Great Scouring and the retreat of most of the Traitor Legions into the Eye of Terror, the Codex decreed that the nine remaining Loyalist Space Marine Legions would be divided into 1,000-warrior Chapters, the Chapter Masters of which would be directly beholden to the Emperor Himself and no other, not even the primarchs of their original founding Legions (save in the case of the single Chapter that would remain under each primarch's control and retain its Legion's original name). No one person in the Imperium could ever again control the transhuman might of an entire Legion of 100,000 or more Space Marines. Edge the pads in gold or whichever company colour you’re aiming for. (I used S75 Elven Gold and blended it with some silver while it was wet).

Requisitions

Normally painted upon the hull of Space Marine vehicles and the greave of a battle-brother's armour, it is not uncommon for these badges to be incorporated into an individual's heraldry as a permanent honour somewhere on his power armour after the campaign's completion, either to commemorate exceptional deeds or as a mark of remembrance for the fallen. When fighting alongside other forces of the Imperium of Man, it is common for the Imperial commander to choose a simple symbol to act as the campaign badge. This army badge is used for the duration of the campaign and identifies every squad and vehicle in the task force.
