From time to time I’ll reach into the hobby vault to feature models painted before I started this blog.

I bought most of these bikes on an impulse back in the third edition timeline, though they didn’t see paint until around 2012. I never could quite pull the trigger on the dollar cost of an all-bike army, although I lusted after one.

I only had one attack bike from the olden days, with a metal sidecar. The other two were bought around when I painted them and are the newer all-plastic kits. Actually, that’s lie. I have an all-metal Rogue Trader era attack bike around somewhere.

The bikes are the last of my Ultramarines to get posted. It’s been a long road to get through them all. Next up will be my Dark Eldar.

The Drop Pod provided another way to get my Ultramarines stuck in fast, although that mostly meant overextending and letting them die. Oops.

I like the idea of letting the drop pod open on deployment, although it does make it hard to handle.

I painted the model before fully assembling it, which made it pretty easy to drybrush the interior.

Assault Terminators pouring out of Land Raiders has always been a key image for me in 40k. So naturally, when I started playing the Land Raider was one of the first things I picked up.

It never performed nearly as well in game as I thought that it should, but that rarely stopped me from trying again.

I magnetized the turrets to allow play with either modes, although I don’t think I ever brought it in the flamer-tastic Redeemer edition.

This Tactical squad, although fourth to be posted and labeled as squad I, was actually the second one I painted, back early 2012 or so. It’s the squad from the fifth edition Assault on Black Reach box.

It was also the first infantry I painted using an airbrush to put down the basecoats.

The meltagun is a small conversion, since I believe it came with a flamer.
