Mustering for Vigilus - Neil's Ultramarines Introduction

Right so to kick of 2019 as part of our Warhammer 40k Tale of 4 Gamers, which we're calling Mustering for Vigilus, I will be doing an Ultramarines strike force.

The aim of this TO4G will be to go to a doubles event so we're building up to 1000 points Matched Play lists.  My doubles partner for the event will be Matt so we'll be partnering Space Marines and Adeptus Mechanicus.

My plan for my Ultramarines will be go primaris heavy as I really like these new models with their throwbacks to the heresy models like the MKIV armour.  I am also going to use this project to get my airbrush out and try to get a bit better with this tool as space marines are the perfect canvas for this.


For the first month we're doing a character and a unit, so I've picked to go the new primaris Marneus Calgar and his Victrix Guard for January.

So we will see how it goes with these miniatures as they have a lot of extra details on the armour unlike the normal primaris marines.

For the long term plan for this tale, I'm going to aim to theme my force around the Indomitus Crusaders specialist detachment from the Vigilus Campaign book, so it will feature a decent amount of intercessors.  I will probably have a draft list for 500pts at the end of the month with my update for how well my painting has gone for this month.
