Painting Tips for Your Ultramarines

Painting the Space Marines Classic Heroes of the Ultramarines is a rite of passage for many hobbyists. To achieve that signature “Ultramarines Blue” look, we recommend starting with a high-quality base coat using Citadel Paints, specifically the Macragge Blue spray for a smooth, even finish.

Focus on the gold trim of their armor using Retributor Armour to create that regal, heroic contrast. For the iconic white or red helmet markings that denote rank, take your time with a fine-detail brush to ensure clean lines. A light wash of Nuln Oil in the recesses will make the armor panels pop, adding depth and realism to these classic warriors.
