Finished my Ultramarines Apothecary Biologis from the Heroes of the Chapter box. Probably the most time I’ve ever put into a single miniature at around 40 hours total.

This was also my first real attempt at painting white armour to a level I was genuinely happy with. Getting smooth shading without obvious layer lines felt insurmountable at the beginning.

I stayed pretty close to the original box art style, just a little brighter overall. Honestly, I wanted to paint this model simply because the sculpt and pose are fantastic. The white armour also makes such a great canvas for all the little details, relics, lenses, and trinkets.

Definitely learned a lot on this one, especially patience.
