The 4th Company Ultramarines

My son Max (8 years old) and I are creating the Ultramarines 4th Company. We are reading the short story Chains of Command with Uriel Ventris and it’s time to bring them to life. We will be making a list with the entire 4th Company. It will comprise of 6 Battleline squads, 2 Assault Squads, 2 Heavy Squads and the 4 dreadnoughts.  We will of course add a few extra units that we enjoy the look of in there too. For now we are going with 3 ten man tactical squads with a special and heavy weapon each. One will have a drop pod and the others will foot slog for now. The other 3 Battleline squads will be 3 five man Intercessor squads. Every squad will be lead by a named character from the books. We will have a traditional10 man  assault squad with jump packs and one with 3 Inceptors. Max loves heavy bolters so one heavy support squad will have 4 heavy bolters lead by a Sgt. The last Heavy support squad will have 10 Hellblasters because they are awesome. We both enjoy the look and feel of dreadnoughts so we will have three Redemptor Dreads and one Traditional Dreadnought (box-nought). I have already begun making some of the characters and will try to keep them all without helmets for now. Some inspiration from the books.
