March for Macragge - part 1.

 

It's March, and with "Monster March" a no-go this year, I decided to join in with the "March for Macragge" project on Reddit.

Ever since I bought the starter set and painted all the Tyranids from it and built up that army, even playing a couple of games *shock* against Cardboard Fortress, I have been collecting a few bits to make a small Ultramarines army using the Primaris Marines from the box.

The "March for Macragge" project is to paint anything Ultramarines related throughout the month of March, so I decided to go for one of my favourite models from the Primaris range refresh.

Chief Librarian Tigurius:

He is one of the few Primaris Marines who have a Back Banner, giving that classic space marine character silhouette, the fact that he is a badass as well is just the icing on top.

And I don't mean badass in that he kills everything he looks at etc, but one of the best pieces of fiction with him in details the defence of Boros, and he's in charge of a loosing holding action, saved by the appearance of the Legion of the Damned, who lead the counter attack against the Orks leading the way to victory.

I'm going to base the Ultramarines on Urban bases to match the previously painted Tyranid army to play a small scale campaign against.
Maybe some Damned Legionaries will turn up again?


As well as Tigurius, I am also going to start this squad of five Infernus Marines, not my most favourite of models from the range, but worth getting out of the way to get to more interesting stuff like Terminators.

"We March for Macragge".
