How I paint my Ultramarines

My Ultramarines are nothing too fancy, as I am not a super talented painter, nor do I have an abundance of time to paint working full time, having a family with a small child and dog. 

My goal with my Ultramarines was to get something painted on the table to play as I don't like the look of bare plastic on the table. There is something jarring about it and takes me out of the game.

So to make sure I get my models painted fast enough to get on the table (although not always finished as you will see in some pictures in my battle reports), I came up with a way to speed paint my marines.

I use the following paints for my Ultramarines:

Vallejo Light Grey Primer

Macragge Blue (Ultramarine Blue for Primaris Marines)

Blue Tone Ink

Drybrush Macragge Blue (Ultramarine Blue for Primaris Marines)

Drybrush Altdorf Guard Blue

Drybrush Russ Grey

Glaze of Gulliman Blue

Glorious Gold

Flesh Tone Ink

Drybrush Glorious Gold

Drybrush Vallejo Chrome

Army Painter Black

Vallejo Chrome (sometimes Steel or Army Painter Plate Mail)

Drybrush Vallejo Wolf Grey

Secret Weapon's Armour Wash

Drybrush Necron Compound

Linen White

Wash Soft Tone Ink

Khorne Red

Red Ink

Highlight Screamer Pink

Tanned Flesh Now I used Ryn Flesh

Flesh Tone Wash

Highlight Barbarian Flesh Now I use Vallejo Light Flesh

Cloaks are done with whatever colour combination I feel like at the time, and I have since changed how I do power swords from the blue above in the Terminator Captain to using a Vallejo Chrome basecoat, Vallejo Green Shade, Gulliman Blue glaze after.

For the bases I prime using Vallejo Black Primer, base in Khorne Red, Martian Ironearth, drybrush any rocks in Stormvermin Fur, drybrush it again in Martian Ironearth, drybrush everything in Tau Ochre. The rim is done in Doombull Brown.

I then hit everything with Army Painter Matte Varnish to protect the minis. For tufts I use Army Painter Wastelands (I believe) and some tufts from Gamer's Grass.

Hope that gives some insights into how I quickly paint my Ultramarines (some variance is allowed, but that is the base I use).
