We'll be returning to the beach next week, this time with the kiddies, so hopefully after that, I'll be able to get more hobby time in. Thanks for being patient.

So where are the updates?
The simple answer is, real life has been very busy and I've not had a chance to pick up a brush for about two weeks. First was a trip to Panama City, where I popped the question, and was rewarded with a yes. This past week has been busy getting Jacque moved into my apartment. Work has been extremely busy, so there's been precious little hobby time to be had. Tomorrow, Jacque and I correct the worst mistake of our lives and get remarried. Here's a pic of my beautiful gal.

Hi There!
Hello one and all! This will be my second attempt at starting a blog. The first died basically because I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing. I still don't, but decided I'd give it another try anyway! Primarily, this will feature my continued expansion of my beloved Ultramarines army, but will probably also have the random post about some of my other interests.
I currently have about 15,000 points of painted Ultramarines. The first company I finished was the 4th, the Defenders of Ultramar. I settled on them after reading Graham McNeill's first three Ultramarines novels. That's also where the name of this blog comes from. After finishing the 4th, I decided to start on another company. So began the 6th Company. Before I realized it, I had finished it and was started on the 3rd Company. Currently, I've got three companies complete ( The 3rd, 4th, and 6th Companies.), and another two (The 1st and 8th) underway. The only thing lacking from having a complete 1st Company is a Captain and command squad. I'll be making the command squad in terminator armor. While it won't be game legal, I want to do it simply for aesthetics. I'm only about 1/5th of the way along on the 8th so far. I've got a Captain, Chaplain, two bike squads, and one landspeeder squad finished, and the bits for assault squads.
So that's it for now. Jacque (my ex- but hopefully not for long!) and I are headed to Panama City next week. I'll try to post some pictures of the beach when we get back. For now, I'll leave you with a somewhat outdated picture of my Ultramarines.
