        What's this? Your Ultras aren't smurf blue with bright
red boltguns? Heretic!

        It's not just the GW-sanctioned colors that I don't like,
I don't think I'd be able to paint a 6000 point army ALL BLUE (no

painting my chaos army and I've got like 4 different color
schemes to fool with. I don't know how I've ever going to finish
my single-color IG army...
