About the Lieutenant in Phobos Armor:
Lieutenants serve as the right hands of Space Marine Captains, providing tactical flexibility and directing battle-brothers during engagements. Clad in Mark X Phobos armor, this Lieutenant is equipped to lead Vanguard Task Forces specializing in infiltration and reconnaissance operations. Phobos armor is lighter and more streamlined than standard Mark X armor, designed for stealth missions and forward deployment ahead of main battle forces.

About the Ultramarines Chapter:
The Ultramarines are the most famous and exemplary Space Marine Chapter in Warhammer 40,000 lore, known for their adherence to the Codex Astartes and their distinctive blue armor with gold trim. As one of the First Founding Chapters, the Ultramarines serve as the standard by which all other Chapters are measured. Their iconography features the Ultima symbol and Roman-inspired heraldry.

Why choose an Artist Proof figure?
Artist Proof figures offer several advantages for hobbyists: complete creative control over color schemes, the ability to practice advanced painting techniques on officially licensed sculpts, and the opportunity to create unique display pieces that stand out in any collection. The unpainted format also allows painters to match their tabletop army color schemes or experiment with non-standard chapter colors.

Painting the Ultramarines scheme:
The classic Ultramarines color scheme features Macragge Blue armor with gold trim, white helmet details for Lieutenants, and red weapon casings. Advanced painters can add battle damage, weathering effects, and freehand Ultramarines iconography. The Phobos armor's streamlined design provides excellent surfaces for edge highlighting and panel lining techniques.

Painting difficulty level:
This figure is suitable for painters of all skill levels. Beginners can practice basic techniques like base coating and washing, while advanced painters can showcase their skills with non-metallic metal effects, freehand chapter symbols, and complex weathering appropriate for reconnaissance operations.
