The technique used to paint the models is wet blending, even the Leviathan. No airbrush stuff as I've not learned to switch over. I like the challenge though XD Not all things are for sale. If you're interested in some, you can find here: www.ebay.ca/sch/1714059/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Why in the name of the God Emperor can’t GW with all of their resources make models that look as good as these? I’d love to see everything you’ve made. Your work is beautiful, you are a true loyalist.

[@bluedog843]

Your true comment should be: “Why in the name of the God Emperor can’t GW with all of their resources make models and animations that are as detailed and fantastic as these?”

[@vyanesh6487]

These look fantastic! Some of the best looking Ultramarines I have ever seen to be honest. The ones GW shows off have always look way too bright for my taste.

[@marklouisspark]

Thanks man! The brightness of them didnt bother me, even in the 90s. But as I grew older, having their blue darker does make them look more serious XD

[@01oo011]

The marines look awesome, especially the added bulk an height.

[@timberknuckle8281]

God damn, not only a master with digital 40k, but kickass models too!! The weathering/damage is stunning, really makes the models pop. Exactly how I envisage Marines in conflict

[@marklouisspark]

I was talented in many forms of mediums before I touched even photoshop ;P Thanks bud!

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Fantastic job on those Ultramarines! I especially liked how you used the tips from a couple of plague spewers to replace the vent “nacelles” on that one model’s power pack. (That’s what they looked like to me, anyway). I convert almost every one of my 30K Raven Guard, as well - I love seeing so much conversion work on someone else’s Legion, especially when so well done. Gives me ideas!- thanks for sharing these with us.

[@marklouisspark]

Thanks! Since they are made from different squad boxes just to create 5 guys, you sometimes need to find ways to make it work haha. Not all legs/powerpacks/torsos from death guard are usable so it's a tight bash. Good to see others still heavily bashing it :D

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

@@marklouisspark Yeah- it’s a lot of work, but I know you’re no stranger to that! And the end product is so worth the effort- I’m always so happy when a kitbash or conversion comes out really good, and it makes me feel justified about being a pack rat and not throwing away any bits that I didn’t think I had a use for. I always seem to find a purpose for them, even if it’s just a hand or half a bolter or whatever. Keep up the awesome work!

[@tyshingleton7005]

Damn, never wanted to paint 30k Marines so much before...

[@Nazeem2010]

2:06 Only the bravest and most heroic Ultramarine is allowed to bear the name "Harold", bestowed by the great Robert Gorillaman himself. Similar to the Imperial Fists' Emperor's Champion, the Ultramarine's Harold bears the 13th's ceremonial Sword to battle. Should Harold fall, Carl will take his place and become the new Harold.

I hope you're making you're money's worth off these amazing models! 3:10 I'm not a fan of the old Roboute Guilliman but you make him look, well, stunning to be honest. 3:39 I like your changes to the 40K Guilliman... posing his arms differently, that's honestly something I imagine to be a rather difficult thing to do, I certainly never tried it myself. Thanks for showing this off Mark, makes me very sad these are being sold off at all. (Also, thanks for putting my Model Showcases to shame, haha! (If anything, I have a standard of quality you've thoroughly represented here to aspire to, I just need to figure out how you made these videos.)) Hope to catch you on your next Stream (or I'll be there for your next video.) See you then Mark.

[@TheGreekborn]

All of your stuff is truly outstanding. That's the best ultramarine paint job think I have seen. You even made 40k Guilliman look fantastic. It's amazing what a change of pose can do for a model!

Hey man. Just wanted to thank you for all the great content you have shared with us on KZbin. Would also like to thank you for helping me getting my shit together and realize that if someone as talented as you can have bad times in their lives and bounce back, then I'm gonna give it a shoot. Depression and selfloathing is something I don't need to feel because everyone feels bad sometimes. You where part of that process for me. I know this is totally of topic and you probably get tons of msg like this, but know that you helped me make my life great again. Despite being quite happy about my life I am still rather poor, else I would donate a reasonable amount to you or a charity of your choice. Sadly, all I can give is my sincere thanks and respect. Oh, and happy New Year from Norway. Best wishes to you and yours.

Cool! I like all the truescale models. Plus, surprisingly to me, the 40k Roboute is quite nice after he is spared all the unnecessary nonsense. Looking at those classic metal models I'd wish FW made models in Saturnine terminator armour. Currently I am working on First Legion force and those would be great for Ironwing siege terminators.

@@eragonfreedman9228 I totally agree, which is why I've not sold off all of the item :) kept about 6 to myself, the army though needed to go. Takes up space. The 6 I have will be put away somewhere while the shelf they once occupied can now give room to my other hobby instead of a constant reminder of how much negative energy I spent the last few years towards "parts" of the fandom and GW direction, and how something I loved for 22 years went down the shitter (to me). You left Pokemon on a good note I assume, and not consumed by purist behavior, so it's easier to keep things with good experiences. If you wanted the real answer, there it is XD. I'm happier without them, and DoH is my transition out. My other hobby will last until the day I'm put into the ground. It's not governed by IP and commercial business practices (though the market is something to be cautious of) and the community that is also interested take it seriously, no cartoon crap, memes, etc. Thanks for the concern though.
