This guy was 3rd edition or later, and had the power sword 010111102 and storm bolter 010111103. The Terminator banner pole which apparently fits him is 010111104. This guy didn’t come with one.
No idea what year that is on the back. Can’t find who sculpted it either!
This guy was part number 010120501 and had the weapon options of a bolter arm (010119902), a storm bolter (010110302) or a combi-melta-bolter (010120502). This guy came with the latter.
1999 as the sculpt date on the back, and either nothing on the front or it was filed off by a previous owner. No idea who sculpted him – the catalogues I have found showing this miniature don’t state. He looks very Black Templars-y – may end up not doing him as an Ultramarine.
A Jes Goodwin sculpt from 1997, as per White Dwarf #235! This one was new in the blister, and the body is part number 010109101, the gun 010109102 and the bipod 010109103:
More pics to come once painted.

Work in progress:
This guy came in the RTB09 box set. He’s the Captain with Storm Bolter, Powerglove with Grenade Launcher and Force Sword.
He needs some mold lines/flashing removed and perhaps stripping – will depend on what he looks like when his arms come off. More to come…
This Space Marine with Flamer was part number 0819/4 and the catalogues from that time state that the minis on the page shown were designed by Jes Goodwin and Normal Swales – which did which mini I don’t know.
The paint scheme here was obviously inspired by – but not totally faithful to – the 2nd. Edition Ultramarines brightness.
This was my first outing with the Scale75 Artist paints for a Space Marine and they were not thinned quite enough!

This took me about an hour as a colour test for painting Ultramarines using the Scale 75 Artist paints. I really like the vibrancy you can get out of the colours and while it’s far from my neatest paint job I really like the overall effect.
