I've always wanted a shiny Ultramarine company and having aquired the models for them I thought it best to actually paint them up. So here I pledge to paint my Ultramarine company up in ten weeks. This should be do-able and will amount to painting ten space marines and one rhino a week.
The photo above is the current state that they are in. I rushed painting them all ultramarines basecoat for an apocalypse game last summer (See I need this blog to keep me on track) and not been near them with a brush since. Some squad have already been painted up but still require tweeking such as painting the bases, applying a more uniform blue and gold trim too make them fit into the paint scheme of the company.
The units include:
1 x command squad
6 x Tactical squads
2 x devestator squads
To keep the updates interesting each squad has had it's own back story written about them so modeling and painting should go some way to reflect this. At the end (mid May time) I hope to have a cohesively painted force with added bits of character to keep them individual looking.

:edit: I've realised I've made a boo boo the photo didn't include two units of assault marines. That means I will have to revise the scheduling a bit to keep within the 10 week time frame. Therefore each week will be:
10 marines
1 rhino
1 character or the razorback from the command squad
That should do nicely.
