The Pride of Macragge
High-Speed Results for the Galaxy’s Most Iconic Blue.
Ultramarines Blue is a cornerstone of the Contrast range, specifically engineered to take the labor out of painting the 13th Legion. This paint is designed to do three jobs at once: it tints the surface with a rich sapphire hue, settles into the armor joints to create deep shadows, and thins out on the edges to provide a natural highlight. For hobbyists looking to field a massive force of Space Marines or blue-clad fantasy warriors, this is a game-changing tool.
Why Ultramarines Blue is a Hobby Essential
The "One-Coat" Standard: Traditionally, achieving a smooth blue required multiple layers and careful shading. With this Contrast formula, you can achieve a vibrant, professional-looking finish in a single pass over a light primer.
Rich, Deep Tones: Unlike lighter blues that can appear washed out, Ultramarines Blue has a heavy pigment load. It provides a classic, authoritative military blue that looks great on both individual infantry and large vehicles.
Incredible Depth: The way this paint recedes from the flat panels of Power Armour into the recesses creates instant "panel lining," making the details of the miniature stand out with zero extra effort.
Time-Saving Efficiency: It is the ultimate solution for "Batch Painting." You can work through a whole squad of warriors in the time it would usually take to basecoat just one.
How to Master Ultramarines Blue
Foundation is Key: For the best result, use a light undercoat like Grey Seer for a cold, clinical blue, or Wraithbone if you want a slightly warmer, more organic tone.
Apply in One Pass: Load a medium-sized brush and apply a generous (but not drowning) coat. Try to finish a whole area in one go to prevent "tide marks" where the paint might dry at different speeds.
Control the Pooling: If the paint gathers too heavily in a corner, use a clean, dry brush to "wick" it away. This ensures your shadows look like natural depth rather than messy stains.
