Filippo's Ultramarine - Rejoice Brothers! The OWAC is finished! (1738 points)



It is done! It's finally done! 
I wish my face could express better how happy I am, but I was in half suit and there were 35° when I took the photo 

What can I say about this OWAC? That I wish I discovered it before. 

It was hard, difficult, time-and-cash consuming, frustrating, filled me with anxiety for the deadlines and the fear of falling into the Field of Bones.

WHEN CAN WE DO IT AGAIN?!? 

Here's the list of models and points

Unit                                 Points
Terminator Squad         315
Missile Launcher         59
ChainFist                         2
Tactical Squad                 300
Heavy Bolter              15
Flamer                         9
PowerFist                 10
Rhino                         50
Dreadnought                 115
PowerFist                 15
Assault Cannon         45
Blind Grenade                 5
Lexicanium                53
Psychic Hood                 25
Marneus Calgar         116
Gauntlets                 18
Chaplain Mighty  Hero 125
Terminator Armour         45
Predator                         90
Lascannon sponsors 45
Twin Lascannons         30
Chief Epistolary         196
Terminator Armour         45
Company Standard         55








I still have a lot of models around, many  discarded due to lack of time and replaced by the tanks. Failing to paint the speeder and the devastator squad was saddening but unavoidable. 

I want to do at least something else before 2022 and the next project, but only time will tell..

I want to thanks my friends who helped me with both models and terrain, especially Davide Giurissini, who gifted me with that amazing bunker!

See you next year!

  1. Straight outta the pages o' White Dwarf! Crisp paint, clean armour, freshly mowed lawns - a classic and I love everything about it. The bastion/bunker absolutely makes it though - brilliant! ❤

  6. These are so beautiful. Classic, old-school - you should make some red-and-green cacti to go with them.

  16. They look great! Crisp & clean painting and tons of cool banners. Plus with these goblin green bases they are so old school they practically travel in time. Excellent work and congratulations!
