ooOo yeah better then how I paint heads lmao
I'm shocked how fun it is
I just slap flesh wash on a skin tone color
Careful with the GW contrast paints, they aren't all equally thick/thin

Contrast paints are great for guardsmen camo patterns
Cygor brown and militarum green are my two favorites so far
Haven’t tried creed camo I may get that next
An Honest Review for the full line of Army Painter Speedpaint. 23 Colors of Speedpaints and ~85 test models, let's get to it!
This paint set was provided to me ahead of release as review stock. This video is being published ahead of release.
The starter kit for Speedpaint is launching in ~February and this full set is launching in ~March. Ch...
just got this recommended on youtube, it really looks great
I just water down normal crafts paint 
I don't think that painting under the influence of speed gives you a steady hand
- leaves knowing damn well how bad that pun was *
i appreciated it 👍 🥉
testors craft acrylic 
i like it 👍

I have this box, but due to personal issues I have yet to try it. I would like to note though, that according to many reviews, AP speedpaint does have a reactivation issue, in that it can start to move around as a liquid if you try to paint over it. Some people say you can seal the layer using varnish, then paint over it.
ye they do, not good at all
lovely chunky boys
These are Traitor but not Nurgalized Death Guard, right?
But not Plague Marines yet
no
I'm not fond of the way Plague Marines look, but I like the Death Guard
Death Guard and Thousand Sons at least fell unwillingly. World Eaters sorta but they got Angron as their Primarch so that was doomed from the start.
Horus Heresy models are nice tho. It’s neat to see how different stuff like Deathguard look over the course of a few millennia
Don't like those unrealistic standards for dirt. Where is the clean equipment positivity? 🥲
Clean equipment is good. But is blasphemy for Nurglites
Also I think since most models are perceived as being in the midst of grueling combat, dirt is partially expected to stain the armor at least around the feet, or really anywhere, bombs like to throw dirt.
Unless you’re sigvald or another particularly annoying Slannesh champion
Yes, but I can already imagine how my attempts will look, replicating this 
I’m sure they’ll be fine. Or you’ll find a neat trick to get around it, like maybe try using one of those pom pom things from makeup kits for dirt.
Just found out about the technique yesterday actually. Can have some really cool effects. But this dust shading, dayum
Wasn't there something somewhere that mentioned Plague Marines commiting suicide when they got too close to Blanks
Because when they realized what has happened to them they didn't want to exist anymore?
Cool trick I learned from a friend, you don’t really need to highlight black leather as much, apply some gloss technical over the specific areas like the leather or latex. I prefer larhmi medium (forgive my spelling I don’t have it in front of me)
I just used screamer pink
Its a shockingly easy flesh color
Meat color
Its my go-to meat color
think GW will release more 30k models? perhaps reboot 30k games and rules? really liking the solar auxilia shown in forge world
IGHT GONNA PAITN A DAEMONETTE
Heresy's release has gone amazing so probably
literally showed today a new death guard model
yuh
I am liking the new 30k stuff. makes my life easier when wanting to make a ragtag band of crazy nightlords whom salvage everything.
Found this artist today. They look awsome as hell.
rad
@hollow moon Cyrion talos and uzas
oh boy, i hope Uzas model has the flayed skin on his right pauldron. God i love him, ||it should’ve been Cyrion, not him
||
Gonna be adding it with greenstuff. ||Yes, Fuckin Cyrion.. Uzas my boy! cry||
laments like the lamenter
what green stuff are you adding 
His Flayed skin cloak, as trying to make it with just plastic would be a pain.
oh man, my brother is making a skin cape for his night lord. He spent 2 days finishing just one model, and he has 4 more
edit: it’s plastic
And my take on Xarl. until I can get my hands on a two handed chainsword.
i really need to buy a stand, i keep holding them on my hands. They roll off every time i paint them
And yes. the stand has done wonders for me. made my life a lot easier with painting.
oh that is sick, i think i’m gonna make a night lords army for 40k. Despite how god awful they are
on tabletop. But they can do some crazy melee sometimes
They are the worst chaos faction at the moment. But they are still chaos space marines.. Figured out that they can wreak havoc against nids tho. which was hilarious.
they do? i’ve seen them beat tau surprisingly. But never seen them against nids, seeing how crazy tyranids can do with their cp skill
Playing a crusade with them, fought against a nid and apparently. I could cancel out synapses. Will have to find the spesific CP skill for it.
Vox screams is the name of the Strategem. Cancels out auras. Guess what Synapse counts as.
hmm tell me
It is in fact an aura. thus bye bye synapse. Now their leadership is going to hell because they are fighting night lords in melee.
oh god, i can imagine what battle stratagem can be used. Seeing how crazy raptors can do
Raptors are hilarious to use. only problem right now is that Chaos lords dont have any stats for jump jets. because GW isnt selling a jump jet lord that is not a character.
Another member of First claw. The first one I got that made me want to start the project.
that’s Variel? jesus that looks amazing
Artel had such amazing ideas. Was going to order the entire bunch of them. only to realise that they got hit with a cease and desist... WHich makes sense.. but still
as always gw at it again
oh god i can see what you mean when they do well against tyranids. Add with the Icon of Excess, shit this guy will be hitting mutiple times. Plus the mortal wounds to go with it.
YUP!
So, night lords is the worst legion to play as.. they are still Good tho which I like.
i mean hell, my Alpha legions are solid just below. But i still love ‘em, hell with the upcoming edition. As well the new chaos cm models, i think they’ll be great in the future. I pray tho
Aye. have you seen the new Demon prince model that is commin?
no i haven’t, what’s it like?
woah
With a lot of extra options for heads.
i think of making the exalted with that model. Well you convince me, i’m making a Night Lords army lmao
Sweet. I have succeeded in my mission.
this is gonna be my 5th army. Dear god my wallet finally caught a breath, and now it’s gonna be wheezing

No break. only spend.
neat
MAH BOY
I need this

Traitor Trench Sweeper
last one-> amogus
the fastest ork alive
My first Blood Angel coming along nicely
Nice job on the flames
cheers
What paint is the gold?
One thing I would add but probably can't do myself properly is adding a highlight on the legs/boots
they're very red
But maybe you want to stick to old school idk
it's vallejo game colour leather brown, sun yellow, moon yellow, a bit of iyanden yellow contrast and a drop of pallid wych flesh
Something about that yellow kinda screams old school to me, idk
yeah it's very much still a work in progress 😄
Plus he needs arms
hmh, you might be right
His arms are invisible for tactical advantage
Arms are clearly purple
You have too many models lol
BUt I need it!

I could use some ideas on what I should paint my next commissar to look like
I’m either thinking of a regular commissar
Make it look like a soviet nkvd officer
If you got any other ideas I’d love to hear them
What model is it? Cadian?
I would recommend the following though: https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Vitrian_Dragoons
The Vitrian Dragoons are an Astra Militarum militarum regimento from the Desert World of Vitria. The Dragoons stem from a martial culture formed entirely around the Vitrian honour code, the Byhata, an ancient treatise on warfare. Every Vitrian Trooper carries their own copy of the Byhata on their person at all times, even into combat. Tradition ...
Extra cool if you can add the glass scales
Just a average cadian commissar model
LMAO THESE ARE THE LEAST INTERESTING COLORSCHEMES IVE EVER SEEN LMAO
TWO OF THEM ARE JUST COLOR SWAPS OF EACH OTHER
Trans-Hyperian and the Urani-Surtr were nice I think
I liked the primary orange secondary black and the red and black one
Otherwise the rest are just
Extremely forgettable
Well you can't really expect some digital camo shenanigans etc from the main subfactions when they need to be easily accessible for the masses
LIKE, I can’t be the only one annoyed by this
I know but, the schemes just are too safe for me, I mean I also like chaos and knights so I might just be picky
Other one is orange-black with white accents and the other black-yellow with brown accents 
Also ugly metal coloured gun
Lol
BEE
Oh I didn’t expect that music but you get what I meant lmao
Here’s the right clips
Wait no
I’m an idiot lmao
Uh... Weird enough the league most suited for how i would like to play is the red one... Weird luck this time
I got to give it you, they could have thrown in a purple in there instead of one of the orange paint jobs.
so you guys want: orange and black... OR... And hear me out, it might sound crazy... black and orange
GW designers clap collectively
and now I just realized
why it looked strangely familiar
add a lambda symbol on that
and you have smol Gordon Freeman
i honestly don't mind the schemes
-430$
Orange armor black uniform one is fresh af
yes, orange and black mix really well
there are two acceptable colours for imperial weapons, black like gun blueing, or really bright red for that classic look
yes, and I'll allow yellow as well for a classic look
although the kin are not imperial
Anyone know if army painter brand paints work with airbrush?
I don't see why they wouldn't
they're a bit more thicker and weirder consistency than most paints but with enough thinner it ought to work
I’m not really sure how much thinner one used
I’d assume 3 drops?
My experience with army painter you need to use more water anyway
army painter paints are a bit ... slimy? like they have this film over them that makes them hard to work with
wouldnt personally recommend unless its the ones they make specifically for airbrush
they tend to clog mine
Personally @brisk vapor I don’t like army painter at all. Their washes are good and some of their metallics, but to get them to work properly requires a lot of shaking. Even then still not as nice as most citadel paints
Also I’m waiting on the two thin coats line of paint. Backed Duncan a while ago and now waiting on the my full set to arrive
agreed
Grombrindl the iron minded is what I’d pick
Oh wait
No never mind, he has the metal head
There
Edited the name I’d pick
Going with the classic blue and gold for the dwarves of warhammer fantasy that I love so much
When in doubt, use DRG schemes
||Most of them are an eyesore though so good luck finding a paintable one||
His name is on his power backpack. It's "noodle"
My squats box arrives in a few days, big hype
Started painting recently, second one I've done that i based on skeletor
Now you’ve made an inquisitorial enemy
Looks pretty xeno to me
Using Neophytes as guardsmen, here’s a Vox operator and plasma trooper
I’m really proud of them, since they are my 3rd and 4th models
I think they are nearly down on the outside.... think I need more soot weathering and burn streaks but I'll over do it
And one more marine done with like 17 more to go
NIGHT LORDS
YEAHHHH BABBYYYY
Ave Dominus Nox
"Chapter Master Skeletor to King Randor! Come in, you royal boob!"
Added some orange to the highlights and started with a quick pass on the weapon hand
That is fantastically oldschool.
Yea, but also the whole paint scheme with the flame job and different colored helmet
yeah had to go with a classical scheme for a mini that old 😄
I've got 4 others waiting after this one
of course!
mvp
In midnight clad
A sylvaneth I've been painting, going for a cherry blossom style
But now I wanna start a world eaters squad because of the latest siege of terr book
"emperor of what?"
y'all know what's better than drilled barrels? drilled muzzle brakes
that a new votann hand plus gun?
heh, nice trick by gw to not get that much free stuff out: no gw shop in around 30km of my home
I hope you post that one too
mine's 150km away 
only gw stores
eh, then no freebie for me
I also went there for the store anniversary mini so I had a bit more of an investment to travel there
this, or you obviously are a multibillionaire that really could neither care about money nor time
at least thats how I imagine it: arriving in a helicopter, get handed out a mini, leaves without further elaboration
i broke so many bolters that way
gotta take it slow and easy 😄
Choose your class
Yea, great set of miniatures.
chonk shotty
No idea, probably in the future
big big boy
Some dark mechanicum stuff I’m making
nifty
Yoo where is this from, cool af
Cheers. They're just kitbashes of different GW kits. The horse one is just the mechanicus Serberys Raiders and AoS Dreadblade Harrows but the head if from the Sicarian Ruststalkers. The other one is just a mix of Skitarii Rangers and House Cawdor from Necromunda. they're pretty easy to make
Loved the Second

Turns out Blood Angels insignia isn't as easy as Ultramarines or Sons of Horus
you are on the verge of greatness to create a blood raven
Getting better
Thoughts on using those paint pens for models?
My hobby lobby has some for like Gundom modes and I thinking it might work on IK
Or anything relaly
Mainly for decal
I've got no experience nor knowledge of those, suppose they could be great if they're meant for miniature work
that's for gunpla panel lining
Ah
You could panel line an falcon or a hammerhead with that
The boys are assembled, just need to paint
niiice
cant believe i missed Sam Fisher grot
do you paint the insignia freehanded? looks extremely accurate
Yeah, thanks
crazy, kudos to your skill and steady hands
I'll still have to fix some of the smudginess and even out the black tones
Oh yeah how are the demons crusade rules?
Nice!
Cheers!
They look great but as expected, Chaos Guard rocks but Navy isn't great
Chaos guard shockingly rlly good
Theyre p much just better chaos cultists
Like they might actually become a list staple
They are just improved Guard for Chaos
Since they aldo dont have the mere mortals limitation
So a great choice compared to the nerfed cultists
Voidsmen is also an awesome job title
Yeah this is a case of KT being unique with being a great game for having very particular slices that dont rlly make sense to have a great focus on
Voidsmen probably rarely see meaningful combat that isnt just getting blendered by the myriad of scary things that love to board
Yeee
prayers out for the brave men boarding ork vessels
Heroes only
man now i want a ship boarding game in the vein of darktide
I think they are good at what they do, they are just hyper specialized for fighting in confined spaces.

Its a case of "theres only a few things that actually board in naval combat and all of them are scarier than voidsmen"
I wish BFG would get remade
they still put up a decent fight, but its the same as with IG
Like the tt
they can try and use all the tactics in teh world to make up for the fact they are only men
but in the end, its still man vs monster
but thats waht makes it interesting
Voidsmen skin would be cool to get in darktide
i wonder what a tau ship interior looks like
my mind goes to like, a blend between the ship at the start of star wars and an overwatch map
Probably Star Trek in my opinion
Just like
One for one
WIAT LMAO THERES IBSIDE OF A SHIP IN FIRE WARRIOR
doom but halo lol
Our founder, James Workshop, has a few things to say about the Leagues of Votann. https://bit.ly/3SK8dr1
Don't forget to like, share and subscribe and to ring the bell to make sure you keep up to date with all our latest videos!
this was a funny
i appreciate that they addressed this before the full release. i still don't think it will be enough however
So explain this to me, if they are updating the rules what will happen to the codex? I’d it still viable or will they need to rerelease it 🤷♂️
all that changed is the points values and grudge tokens no longer granting an automatic wound roll of six
it's viable but you just should use the updated rules with it
these things happen to each codex
the land fortress went from 230 points base to 300 points in particular
although usually not this quickly after release
based that they nerf a faction before being fully released at least, although I did kinda wanna see the salt when someones new flavour of the month army gets nerfed a week after they bought all the models
i did a mock up list a week ago of what i thought an army would look like. i just went back in with new points values and dropped a land fortress and a squad of the bikers from the list.
PoV: you are trying to buy minis
pretty substantial points boost across the board
enjoy it my friend
now all I need is for the Gitz tome to be the last AoS 3rd edition one and I will have a lifetime supply of salt
that or for the guard codex to be ass
man that would glorious, guard players waiting for two years for a codex and it being the weakest in the edition
picture the forums...a thing of beauty...salt plains as far as the eye can see
might push some guard players over the edge tbh

already only a few steps from being feral as is
i'm just glad my chaos marines came out surprisingly balanced
yeah too bad their secondaries suck quite badly
Secondaries who?
friend is sad that now finally his word bearers are hecking good but still can't win against my ultramarines because he just loses in points every match
just do what I do, every few games just have a competition on who can board the other, screw vp
it's a non issue for me since i play tempest of war anyhow
keeps it fun
we do enjoy playing rather competitively
although my list is far from optimised for that
just wait until 18th edition when they add tertiaries
they'll be like the AoS first edition secondaries where you have to do stupid IRL things to get VPs
what a coincidence was just reading about some of them
best guttural warcry, not laughing whilst your opponent gets you to laugh, best moustache etc
they were on some drugs making that AoS first ed ruleset
imagine hearing that gw is replacing whfb and then you see AoS 1st edition
you'd be in tears
i would be and was indeed quite pissed.
i don't have a problem with AoS anymore. but boy was i mad when it first showed up
I think 3.0 is in a pretty fine place, new tomes all seem quite fair in my humble opinion
just want more rules for creating your own subfactions like you can get in 40k, even if they do suck
but maybe that is because I just like homebrewing shit
i still personally think fantasy was a better setting than AoS, but the Old World is on its way so i really can't complain about it
I cant comment because I am incredibly biased with my relative inexperience with the old world, but from what I understand it was starting to get alot of rules bloat and was showing its age as a setting
oh the game was bad towards the end, don't get me wrong
terrible support with horrible rules bloat and severely outdated models
I suppose it is different when you grew up with it and it is what got you into warhammer
for me that was AoS so I can get that
saw the OBR and fell in love
i'm a big vampire counts guy
spent my first ever pay check almost entirely on getting hobby equipment and some models
soulblight gravelords is my army in AoS
OBR are cool because they're not just some skeletons or mummies
respect, recently got myself some soulblights
but I've started to collect Gitz, although 90% of them still waiting to be built
for the past 2 years almost
squigs
lots of squigs
squigs be cool
had my friends whining as they didnt realise all the resurrect rules so tried to take out my skeletons early only for half of them to come back because one lived
and lil goblins
legion of night for the +1 save for them came in clutch
the new slaves to darkness do tempt me though quite mightily
gem of exsanguination did 6 mortals to his bastilodon weakening it for the lord to finish it off
soulblight felt fun, just sad the vampires arent nearly as strong melee wise or magic wise as old style blood dragon and necrarch
planning on treating my friend to some of the new StD when they come out, love the chosen models so much
they all look like they could pass for a character model
yeah the chosen were so damn great
Id be interested to see how you paint them up to be honest, your paintjobs are always so clean
thanks 😄
probably won't be on my palette for a long while though, still have all of Sons of Horus to do and other armies as well
but we'll see
ooc what do you think of the new daemon prince? not sure if I like the kinda goofy heads and hooves
i just want the daemon prince for my 40k army
the tzeentch one is really cool
looks like a chicken that had too much powerade imo
the default faces lack of nose just makes them look way too goofy
i'm just waiting for my world eaters now
yeah their new models look dope, love the khorne aesthetic but in AoS they suck hard
I'm hoping the WE get a kill team so I can use them
the new khorne berzerkers are perfect
the warpcoven is great fun to use so I assume a Khorne one would be too
just enough khorne aesthetic while not being super gaudy
its exactly what I like about some of the khorne subfactions in AoS, not just red lol

they also made a funny video about it

dwarf player cope is great
it is
found out, a local toy seller also has warhammer stuff, I had a seizure after i looked too fast over the whole paints they sell from citadel, but cool to know and mindnumbing what the whole pallette offers, they even sell the new leagues of votann box für 134€ instead of 155€
but votann is of course now nerfed and nothing worth anymore to collect
i use em for non-GW stuff 
Claim heads in the Age of Darkness with the new Clade Adamus Assassin. https://t.co/ymbwrTNotz
#WarhammerCommunity
this looks so plain that i almost kind of hate it tbh
Lmao its just a skin suit
even sounds plain...an assassin that just practises decapitating people
the face mask is too generic is the issue
all the other assassins have great head designs

clade? slade
i guess it's supposed to be a callback to this guy
goofy looking gun too
someone gonna paint deadpool im sure of it
I really dont like 30k stuff
i think 95% of all the new heresy stuff has been great
this new assassin is where i'm kind of like eh
that looks alot better
i dont hate the tank model, i like this one assassin
the rest has been marines and like
the poisoner assassin looked pretty neat too
theyre good quality but we already have 40k marines in droves
i dont like mk3 armor
it does but good luck free handing those blue lines lmao
who paints models like gw anyway, coming up with new paint schemes is half the fun
ahh, 40k sub-zero
that vanus clade?
no clue
It's an infocyte
Yup, was about to say it too
But the amount of Nintendo power glove is too damn low
OH NEAT, the rogue traders aren’t named characters they are like default dudes
So you can use your own custom characters
Metachase preorders on suicide watch
🙈
This brings me joy
I wonder if Germany banning it and people elsewhere also talking about banning it accelerated the time table for Votann nerfs.
Honestly LoV getting prebanned is rather run of the mill. P sure some tournaments have a no faq = no play rule. Likely the community uproar that did it
The world is at peace and 9e remains in the somewhat stable place it has been in
Our blessed overlords at gw have smitten the stunty abomination
That is a judgment token on you! >:C
a good thing judgement tokens just got nerfed
LMAO
now if only they'd apply that same nerf to CWE hail of doom
I think the funniest thing is now triggering judgement tokens can be a detriment
ye lmao
HoD isnt too bad since its only 1 trait and only on 6s. But I would rather them nerf HoD than uppoint DAs again
ye, its why i want it nerfed
I think HoD should just be exploding 6s on shuri weapons and let it take another trait too
i personally think autowounds should never 6s
Thatd be rlly funny with Bladewind
because free special procs are busted
Autowounds just bypass alot of stuff they rlly shoulsnt in general
yup
god
My boyz is sad
atleast with guard vs orks im squishy enough my friend still flattens entire squads
Cant wait for guard to get another army ability the coming dataslate
elite factions getting autowounds is just
free deepstrike on all inf if playing tallarn plz
lemme play my fast bois
Autowounds really emphasize how squishy vehicles are in 40k. Shit small arms fire should under no circumstance be the best way to instakill vehicles LMAO
Its goofy how much volume of fire is the game rn
AoK will die more efficiently to 10 chainswords than to any heavy firepower
The idea I like the most for this system is having "weight classes" for armor and baking in what level of Armor a weapon beats into its stats. Firing into a higher class of armor means there's no AP applied, and getting fired on by a weapon 2 AP classes above yours means you do not get an armor save at all.
You have a certain number of "weight classes". The one I've mostly seen is 3.
AP/AI - Anti-personnel/Anti-Infantry: these weapons only beat the armor of Infantry/cavalry models. Basically, if it's a dude on foot or on a horse, it'll beat its armor, and won't do anything to anything in a higher weight class.
AT - Anti-Tank: Somewhat a misnomer, but it sounds cooler so it's okay. Anti-tank Weapons apply their AP value to anything that is a Vehicle, but not anything with the Titanic Keyword. From the most mighty Leman Russ, to the most ramshackle trukk. AT weapons are generally the most powerful weapons Infantry are able to get their hands on, and also the weakest weapons that Larger Vehicles like Titans and Baneblades will typically have access to.
TK - Titan-Killer: These are the most powerful weapons in the game. Particularly strong and capable, nothing will escape their wrath. These apply their AP to everything in the game. These weapons when on Vehicles should be specialized enough that they typically aren't super points efficient unless fighting Titans.
Special 4th class I thought of: OB - Obliteration: This is for weapons like Titan Meltas(I assume those are a thing). These just count as an even higher class of AP than even TK weapons. So Tanks wouldn't be getting an armor save against them either.
I think this is a very elegant way of making AP not just apply to everything while also not being particularly complex or unintuitive.
why hit with big number when many small number doesnt get effected
I prefer dreadnoughts and them having a -1 damage
Here's my counter proposal. Leave out armor facings. Use armor tiers instead.
Because that still makes a BIG difference
armour facings are cooler tho
and means people stop being fucks with vehicle placement
Cooler, but significantly more bookkeeping.
The meme that is ppl moveblocking with vehicles
That's not actually a counterpoint.
Armor facings are p simple tbh + other games have done them in easier ways than old 40k
my personal fav is people placing eldar gravs sideways with just a wing getting LoS so that after they 1 shot the target nothing can return fire
I literally hate how LoS works in 40k
Get fucked if ur model has a flagbearer
itd be less awful with armour facings because sittung your tank backwards for a shot becomes death
I wish a 50% vis rule was hardbooked or something
Its really annoying to have
a claw
a flag
a rifle barrel
Clip barely beyond a edge and get called
Esp doesnt help irl where GW stores barely have terrain to begin with
Isn't vehicle line of sight from gun barrel to any part of the base (if it has a base) or any part of the model (if it doesn't)? How does this work within the rules?
Its from model to model
any part of the model to any part of the model
And a LoS line is only 1mm
Ah. That sounds pretty wack.
when they dropped armour facings they also dropped gun LoS rules
so no cones for sponsons, no 360 for turrets
I swear that was part of the 9th ed rules somewhere.
Maybe it was for measuring distance.
"Our preorders for Votann sold out? Perfect, drop the nerf."
based gw
nerfing votann to dab on the drg fanbase
Incredible move
The only two things I see being said about them now are that they are still op or they are completely trash and unusable
they still autowound on a 4+ but no longer auto 6, and their shits more expensive
they're still gonna be crazy good
I only paint and display minis so idk what the fuck that means lmao
their warboss equivilant hero is now actually the price of a warboss
still better than one, but we cant win everything
still super strong, but they cant spam or cheese rules as easy
oh ok
they should have kept them strong and made the dwarves bring about the 40k end times by stomping every other faction
they already used em to retcon a bunch of lore dw
Just realized how good Jinx is gonna be to shit on dorfs
I finally finished making all 3d models for concepting my army look
They wont stop making DRG comparisons? drop the nerfs
It only took me 2 years
the votann are better imperium
-1000 social credit score for being dwarven
-1000 credit rating for not having a beard
true they dont all have beards
id rather live in capitalist dwarf land than fascism hell
just find it funny that they are pretty normal until you find out they regularly destroy entire planets and their populations and dont feel even an ounce of bad about it
are we talkin about the imperium here or the votann lmao
Votann
votann
dont they look dumb af?
nom
the fact they see people fleeing their deaths as worthy of a grudge too is yikes
"let me kill you and your entire planet"
the morally best faction in 40k
its 40k. all factions are evil as shit
all playable ones
true
atleast the votann see the robots as their brothers unlike even in the dark age of technology
humans be stupid like that
well they may as well be biological robots themselves, all just weird clones made to serve their votann
except the part where all the ones we've seen are being used as effectivley just servo skulls and we haven't seen a single one in a position of power
I would rather defend a super computer than a dying skeleton on a golden toilet
they are "brothers" just like how all races under tau are "equal" 
lmao, i mean do what you enjoy I guess
"kin is kin"
I would be interested to see them in alternative media
I must say that I like the default face, it reminds me (to complete the mini) of the DoW daemon prince. Also, what's with the votann nerf? When is GW going to release a physical codex that isn't invalidated within a month?
Oh man I love the new demon prince, but the old chaos space marine demon prince that was full metal still is my favorite
Lucky enough to pick two of em up
Looks awesome!
amogus
New sentinel let's go
Looking good
Fuck yes blue Khaine lets GOOOOO
Great work
It's so sweet of that robot to bring his baby to work.
testing about for a scheme I like, orange is still very much a rough single coat to see if I like the colours chosen
i want to paint a mech like that
thinking something along these lines, will need to brighten up the orange if I will go for it though
Which app is that ?
Thank you !
Beginning the diorama for Darktide, I’m excited for it
pics
When I get to work on it
By beginning I more of mean I’m starting to get the supplies
Hardest part is making a judgment call on what the in game things look like
It’s why I’m hoping I can get in the closed beta to have a hands on idea
But currently I need to make the hallway, I’m doing 4 of the classes fighting a hoard in a tight hallway filled with traitor guard a pox walkers
No rush, just always nice to see others creativity
Every single line on this list is a different tax on warhammer minis

I been thinking on getting freeguilde guard and painting them as stirland
Or should I paint them as the different imperial states
I don’t collect age of sigmar but I do enjoy the concept
Shit that box set goes hard for no reason lmao
It’s 75 books for about 500 points
Around... £52 here.
Is I went AoS, it's either Khorne, SD or the revamped 'Cities of Sigmar' units.
I would suggest waiting a few months to a year
The entire Cities line is getting updated, so there'll be better looking freeguild
Ah yes monopose models
Better than the chunkalicious WHF models 
Reminds me what WHF means?
Warhammer fantasy
Ah. Yeah, a primary reason I didn't go for CoS: The models are OLD.
Yeee if you really like their vibe, just wait
We already know they're getting p much remade from the ground up
Thanks but no, it’s a one time purchase. I’d prefer enjoying actually building something that I’m happy with and can call my own
I have the same issue with all the new monopose models like orks are the perfect example
Okay buddy, don'tstart weeping it'll be alright
It’s okay to weep over something you are passionate about
They're models honey
Indeed they are
Yeah, between the immortal, superpowered Stormcast Eternals and the not-Dwarves and not-Elves, there's something appealing about playing the 'average Joes' of the setting.
the new orks aren't even monopose, the old marines with plug in bolters are monopose
Ya
Also 'monopose' usually just means 'marginal amount of effort to make notmonopose'
i.e.
Sawing off the little arm plugs
and such
The only like, HARD monopose models are probably the goofyass pushfit stormcasts and such LMAO
this is monopose
Little man
not this
What’s the point of building something if you get the same thing as before
I got some of those old marines from the old foes drukhari/marine boxsets and they'reso small
I run them as Legionaries
Least with multipose there is some customization
They're very cute
it's not really that hard to make each unique the next time around
do they look all that different to you
as individuals
other than having different heads(which all kits do)
Do they look unique?
I'm saying model-to-model, yes
and the answer is no, they're all in basically the same poseof guy holding spear
And are they basic infantry?
yes?
So if I have a army of overly detailed “semi” monopose models but they are all super detailed and look badass. Your telling me that it doesn’t get annoying seeing legitimately the same “unique” model 6 times in a row?
My point is. You can have multiple uniquely the same models if they look like a regular soldier rather than a hero
Idk how to tell you this, but when you have say, 40 of the same infantry, they're going to look the same
Incomprehensible have a good day

Anyways.
Do I paint them all as stirland or since it’s a one time purchase should I make each one be a different state troop?
AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
LMAO
A perfect model
It's good that I was digging out my past crimes 
I personally do not paint in the eyes or teeth unless it’s a obvious part of the model like he’s yelling
Not the most detailed painter but I know my limits
Lmao I get it
My first model was a blood angels set
I still have him, granted he is missing a few things on him
I feel like almost everyone keeps there first model right?
I even have all of them, but the elector count was my "masterpiece", couldn't get rid off them
Same way with my old space marines commander
He doesn’t look good and the paint is all globed on
But I still love em
Same with my ork army, I painted them as death skulls clan
Speaking of
Orks are a very good starting army for beginner painters simple with some detail and you get better over time by painting all the hooks and stuff
Plus it can really teach someone how to properly layer and such
Yup, I'm about to get back into painting. Got a beginners box and some intercessors for 2€ each, and it looks like the posterbois are a good start to make it right this time(big models, good details, helmets and clear recesses) . And thanks to the book club vouchers, I can even fund the equipment, just need some little more time before I have all the stuff, I need
Definitely the space marines are a good start too
So long as you don’t go after the overly unique guys like the Templar’s brothers and such
Otherwise you feel like it takes too long and not enjoy painting it
I hope its good, that its just some minis and not like a whole army, so I can focus on them and take my time
oh, even have some death guard and poxwalkers in that one box
My first and second 40k models I've ever done.
Don't have the paint yet but it was fun putting them together.
One thing that makes us different, is that we listen. We hear you. We've changed the game with groundbreaking products over the past 15 years, and we plan to change the game - again - with your help.

well this is nice
Finally !
On god, why is it so hard to just suck it up and admit you made a mistake and are working towards solving it
Huh I should probably buy a shit load of the balls then lmao
For my box
if you admit failure, others might get the idea, they are now entitled for a compensation. So companies rather not say sorry, at least not directly, because fear of lawsuits. Its ridiculous, but especially the typical routine for western markets
More details
emperors votann or leagues of children
Is it the lightflash of the camera or is it really the shading, that the armor is more brighter on the torso than the legs? Looks really cool
no camera flash 😄
really trying to imitate how light works, back side is very dull and with much less colour
Did you take a picture of the model in a dark room with a source of light as reference, or is it intuitive at this point?
That's what I did when I practiced doing it for the couple first times but now it's more intuitive
also nowadays I have an airbrush that I can use for easy highlights to start with
well shi-
Had I waited a month or two...
tbh, I didn't understand why they sent me a small bag of mixing balls with the paint I ordered
But the balls are too big to fit into the paint
I was like
"okay but... how do I use them" lmao
afaik you can detach the 'dropper' part of the dropper bottle so the ball can fit in but it's pretty tight to remove
Update on khaine. Added a WIP glow effect on him and also added black templar contrast over his body
Hmm
Pretty big hand
Base for my Kin
based
So i realized i never built a backweapon fir my tyrant class knight and i cant find all needed parts. So i improvised
Nurgles blessings provide rockets even if you cant find the parts for the official rocketbattery
as far as im concerned army painter air paints are just the improved form of their warpaints line
everything about them is just better, brushwork included
that's good to hear, I've not tried those ones out yet
i used army painter when i first started and struggled with them a lot
moved into vallejo and citadel, and then scale75 later
yeah I pretty much only use vallejo as well
came back to AP with more knowledge and made them functional with a medium mixture, some agitators, and a hell of a lot of elbow grease
and now the warpaints line works pretty well for me
i got the full air set when MM had a big dad day sale for like 170, those paints come out of the pot like everything i did to make warpaints functional
MM? But nice
minature market
ah
Oooooh
First dry fitting, will probably finish it tomorrow
"purple sus" was the first thing to pop into my head. wtf is wrong with me
don't worry I got like a dozen similar comments in other places 
I assemble first but when I want to get every nook and cranny I paint in sub assemblies
Manage to kitbash a Tertium Veteran Guardsman using various parts from the Death Korp and Cadian boxes. Also used a torso and head from the blooded kill team set as a base.
Brooo space marine


Huh, is he a primaris? Or just called that?
not a "primaris" marine just called one before the primaris marines were a thing
I am the warhammer horus heresy
want
"I should've visited the restroom before leaving"
Converting up this basilisk and decided to fill in the massive gap between the floor and the fighting compartment with this spare bit I found and some plastic card
Oh ! that spare part you're using is technically an additional bit for the reinforcing your leman russ !
Hey can anyone suggest cheap shelf for displaying models?
Preferably one cats can’t get into
I got mine from a local version of craigslist, check some of those resell sites for one and you might get lucky
I think everybody will mention the glass IKEA shelf
actually I don't really prefer those, lots of empty space and they're not too sturdy
It's hard to suggest something specific given regional differences in furniture, but greenstuffworld has individual display cases for minis: https://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/349-display-cases
I currently have a pieces of plexiglass covering a generic wall shelf. Not a practical solution for most people mind you, given that you'd need to cut a large piece accurately for it to look alright.
I got in a chimera
I've seen it used before
On a russ I think
Goes on the side of the tank irc
Oh
Ir was fun
It was thousand sons vs chaos demons
But the dude has a dark angel army but i played as TS
And his rhinos are Black templar , dont ask me why
I dont have HH minis but after trying It i might try getting money for it
That IS a thing we didnt question
And anyway its khorne against TS
It would made Sense even on 40k
I was TS using DA models
My oponent was using demons
My contemptor turned into doomslayer in that match
Middle of the map, hand fighting the strongest demons on my enemy list
And won
Yeah
I’m still annoyed about wracks being no longer for sale lmao
Wracks are still for sale doe
grotesque I meant whoops
Oh ye
Blessing in disguise, resin was a mistake
Wip.. Accidentally made a doom guy while trying a new scheme and I'm just gonna roll with it
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
rip and tear
Update on khaine: we started painting his spear and cloth
Did you just threaten my grey knight with your filthy demon spawn 🤨
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/10/03/hear-the-herald-of-a-brand-new-unit-of-chaos-knights/
cool model but i didnt see any problems with the existing kit tbh
Lmao I got so excited then I realized it was AOS
I thought they mean the other chaos knights
which one do y'all prefer? Golden or turquoise sigil?
the gun is already gold so probably turquoise since it gives a nice contrast
yeah that's what I was thinking about as well but wasn't sure if it looked as good
Is it supposed to be like plasma glow?
no just a glyph, a bit shiny maybe
I want that templar pin
All@the chaos ones and raven guard
Not based
You’re not based
No u
Also rip xenos players lmao
I thought the sword and hooded skull was eldar
No that’s the fallen angels
It’s the half of the blood angels that went to chaos
It's series 3, khorne and some of the xenos were probably in the two series before
A lot of eldar last time@yeah
I’m annoyed taht teh imperial knight button is 13 dollars on eBay
I might as we buy one off Etsy for 3
Literally my first time doing a face... How'd i do?
Think i nailed the flesh and the hair
Better pic
My Lord of Change 🙂
hot
very nice
Thanks guys!
Another update on khaine. We’re getting kind of close. Still need to do the fire and some other stuff
Looks sick!
Thanks man! 😄
Really nice, good job on the face
robot zombie blasting space dwarf
oh wow those pics are way too high res and the compression made them all muddy
love it, though I really could not resist painting a face on the helmet visor, if I had the mini
the whole layers looks really smooth, noice
Thank you!
looks great and is lore friendly
Looks brill!
Here's one more, my Geigor Fell-Hand 🤘😁🤘
hell yeah
god i love how squats went from being loyalist guardsman like the ratlings to unbelievably heretical
Kinda, but not per se after the first layer
I would also recommend not using your detail brushes for drybrushing, as the techinque can ruin the point of a brush
you are wiping like 90% of the paint off the brush so that it layers on lightly
usually with a paper towel
no water
for optimal results you might want to dampen the brush first, like very very slightly
rub most of the water off, leaves a bit smoother finish
They had some fairly heretical beliefs back in 2e that they were allowed to keep in the old lore because the imperium decided tolerating their heretical beliefs and trading for their wealth of resources was a better route than trying to fight them over it. Ancestor worship, unsanctioned psykers, technology not approved by the mechanicus, these are all things they had back in the 90s
Very nice job on the face
I love the medieval cap on him
Current project! A small Fists army (about half done... getting there) 🤘😁🤘
Nifty
Honestly I think they are just gonna reveal a box set
Not a new edition
new edition is very unlikely yeah
I've seen people speculating about a Rynn's World boxset, which is pretty plausible with the stuff they've been showing this week
painting tutorials for old ork and crimson fists schemes and now this
but wouldn't be surprised if it were only a primaris version of Pedro Kantor
Reminds me of a tutorial I watched after I tried to find out why yellow is known to be a hard color, and they showed a air brush tutorial on a imperial fist. The result looked awesome
Yeah good eyes! I just used the air brush for the armour 🙂
what size needle you've got
Ah just a standard 0.35, I find that I can do pretty much anything with that so I don't really change hehe
ye I've got a 0.35 as well, been thinking about getting a smaller one at some point for the very tiny details
Woo let me know how it works if you do! 😄
sure thing
Soon, should be a couple of months after the Votann one
more like refined I'd say
