I have painted every type of the Forgeworld Pre Heresy armor, and this is by far the most 'paintable' version. It looks the best to me, as well. Two of the other armor types are not as striking visually, and one of them trends towards a lot of miscasts.
I enjoyed a different color scheme for a change (not red or blue!), so here are some White Scars!
There was a stretch where I was painting a lot of Ultramarine stuff. I think I painted two of the command squad sets. I thought I would post some of those today...
Starting off with the huge hunk of pewter!
And a Sicarius figure that my buddy Rich had me paint for his son A.J. He was promptly used in one of our traditional yearly 40k mega battles.
