not bad, i agree with some here they are a bit busy, and i understand they are characters, but like on marneus, i think he could do without the skull and eagle attached to his shoulders on the front,as they seem just placed there like big trophy attachments and arent really integrated into his shoulder pads. but then again they look detachable so im thinking he might turn out decent.

the hawk faced guys are pretty cool. wish they'd turn them into a full blown unit type. the ultramarines always suffered as being the "stripped of character" space marine types and i feel those guys spiff it up a bit.

the chapter champion i feel has too many seals and that they should have let the scifi on him show through more. its like they are trying to cover all surface space instead of letting armor design speak for itself.

the standard is really kool. i wish back when i was still into gw they had smoking pre-made banners like that.

overall kickass and adds some much needed character into the ultra standard ultra marines although heavy on the bits. im sure we will be seeing these all over ebay and coolmini or not in short order.

Command Squad Honor Guard

Big guys (Space Marines) this week, as we release new models for the Ultramarines!

Command Squad Honor Guard

48-35 - MARNEUS CALGAR WITH HONOR GUARD

$45.00 USD

Marneus Calgar Command Squad boxed set
Marneus Augustus Calgar is the renowned master of the Ultramarines, and his countless exploits while defeating the enemies of the Emperor (may his divine light always guide us!) have earned him fame throughout the Imperium. In particular his stubborn defense and ultimate crushing defeat of the Tyranids during the first Tyrannic War has become the stuff of legend amongst the more vulgar elements of the population on those planets that owe allegiance to the Ultramarines.
Marneus Calgar
But fame and glory ever begets jealousy and spite, and these heroic tales, fueled by Marneus' fierce pride, have earned him and his brethren many high-ranking enemies.
