[patent bluff]

They are giant

[plush swift]

Pretty much

I think it’s bigger than SOME titans

[patent bluff]

Tabletop or lore?

[plush swift]

Lore

[patent bluff]

Oh damn really?

Give me a little lore dump

Smile

[plush swift]

Uh ill try

The knight dominus is the biggest class of knight I think

And that’s all I know

I’m hella new to 40k

[patent bluff]

I know more about the Heresy than anything

It’s my favorite

Speaking of just saw a listing on eBay for Horus Ascended for 39 dollar

Tempted to get it tbh

[plush swift]

Get it

[plush swift]

Same

[patent bluff]

Real shit

[patent bluff]

I’m tempted

[true inlet]

okay

my investigation and inquiry told me that Tempestus Scion + Mechanic IG are crazy now

[plush swift]

Did 30k have knights?

[patent bluff]

Yeah

A good amount imo

[true inlet]

theres Legiones Titanicus

[patent bluff]

40k have the same kind of looking knights imo where as Horus heresy got variety

[true inlet]

which should mean it also has titans and knights

[plush swift]

I’ll probably Proxy the knight dominus then

[patent bluff]

Real

I’m planning on getting that

[true inlet]

I'm a guard player so no way getting anything else for now XD

but I am kinda tempted after the new Deathwing and Inner Circle Companion

should I get SM or IG

hmmmmmm

my mind is telling me SM but my heart is telling me IG

[patent bluff]

There’s that new death wing box that was just announced

[patent bluff]

Here’s one of the knights

[true inlet]

10 termie, 1 Azrael and 5 Knight was it

[patent bluff]

There’s more on the games workshop website

[true inlet]

and the most important

3 little ones

[patent bluff]

I think so?

I didn’t really look that hard since I don’t care for dark angles or feathering

[true inlet]

same

but a thing just came to my mind

if my custom chapter's colour is black and red anyways

then can't I just get some DA models and alternate between them?

[patent bluff]

Hypothetically yeah

[true inlet]

great

also, just checking...

colours for models don't REALLY matter right?

like, I would colour them obviously

but if I want to I can just colour my IG army pink and white, stick a Hello Kitty sticker on the side of the tank and bring it to a game?

[patent bluff]

Do you mean faction wise?

Or sorry

“Chapter”

Cause I don’t think it matters all too much, could always chop it up to them being a “successor chapter”

[true inlet]

faction wise

[true inlet]

thanks, very nice to hear that

[plush swift]

Does it matter what knight house I paint

[pastel grotto]

I have a plan arthur

finally have time to get back to painting

[kind oracle]

Stripy motorboat WIP

[sturdy locust]

He had lots of fun doing more before we left work

I love the detail on the big guns. The paint is chipped and it looks like it's seen actual combat. He kept showing me the progress with the sureounding asthetic and he was so proud.

It's literally just paper and the plastic thingy that holds all the parts before you take them out. He says he's gonna do more tomorrow and that he has a "late chrimah surprise" for me so I'm hypeee

[median vine]

Knight Preceptor mostly built, gonna paint it and the armor separately

Going to attempt some freehand murals on the plates

"attempt" being the keyword

[mint dove]

My girlfriends first thousand son. She's got a ro k steady hand

[true inlet]

can someone give me any advice about this list?

I could use some tempestus scions I guess

[tranquil kelp]

Not enough Leman Russ Tanks

[true inlet]

There XD

[tranquil kelp]

Better

But not... perfect...

How many of the same unit can you take in a list in 10th?

I've been focusing on HH since it got refreshed

[true inlet]

3 in a list, 6 for troops

[plush swift]

That’s sick

[mint dove]

That's all in one go too

She didn't go outside the lines at all

[plush swift]

Should plate.

[plush swift]

hows the soflat

[mint dove]

Really good actually. Got the burnt umber and it goes on really good

She's gonna use it to highlight the black

I used it to basecpat my flesh tearer

Gave it a bit of a warmer color red

[mint dove]

How do I highlight black?

I was thinking of doing a chunky highlight with nightlords blue then a thin highlight of thunderhawk blue

[teal wolf]

That'd work fine.
I'd do a 3rd highlight of fenrisian grey, just at the points of brightest light

[hollow goblet]

Every kill team kit I've put together has easily been some of the easiest/best sculpts available but they tend to be monopose and not have a lot of customization options aside from weapon options (and even then)

Depends on how crazy you're wanting the kitbash to be, heads swaps will go fine but anything more will probably require a bit of plastic surgery

[median thistle]

I’ve got some bits turning up which are basically gonna make a mix between death korps engineers and the navy breachers from cadian bodies

Just since death korps engineers don’t exist in 10th I lent more towards the breachers for it in the end

It’s okay I’m sure I’ll figure out how to play them after being royally shagged by some space marines a few times

[hollow goblet]

Is that so you're able to run them as either kill team or you just using them to proxy kriegers in guard?

[median thistle]

Ima run them as the navy breachers they just look like krieg

So it will be the kill team

Only thing I’ll be lacking is the las volley gun but that’s fine

I’ll need to get the kit eventually to get the funky servo skull and the other thing

But that is eventually mes problem

[mint dove]

That's one damn good lookin boy

I find it so funny looking back on my painting progress

From this to this in 20 minis lol

[sour prism]

Hahahaha I wish j was anyway near as quick as you

The magic is lost in the light xD

[brisk vapor]

I quite enjoy this

[shell tangle]

Anybody know if Bolt action is a little more on scale with the new line of guard?

[brisk vapor]

afaik it's a tad bit smaller

and different proportions

[patent bluff]

Favorite Heresy Dreadnought

So big

[shell tangle]

I know they were noticeably off with the old line. I was hoping I could use arm swaps for some Sikh guard for my Praetorians and have it blend better.

[stark hollow]

So, my little sister got me a razorback for Christmas

How is it in 10e? (Also I play votann but I don't have the heart to tell her)

Might just sub it as a sagitaur

[drowsy sparrow]

I know it’s not 40K but technically 30k but what do people think of my praetor for my soon to be loyal World Eater army for Horus Heresy?

[patent bluff]

I’m jealous

Looks really nice

[drowsy sparrow]

Thank you very much!! 😊

[patent bluff]

You said they were going to be loyalist right?

Or did I misread your message

[muted copper]

Thanks, I only just started painting a few weeks ago, got Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade, I already used them on some parts of the mini. Where would you say it needs some shading?

[toxic stratus]

normally I'd be the one to say washes aren't the magic solution but I think an all around washing with nuln oil on silver and earthshade on bronze will help immensely on readability

go back with silver and bronze if you lose the sheen on important places

[wary trench]

recipe?

[muted copper]

Thanks, will try to give it another wash and focus on the recesses

[drowsy sparrow]

Yup loyal, my head cannon is that they’re a group of world eaters that was sent out to assist other legions so they missed getting the nails being put in their heads so they’re not all murder-rage like though they’ll fight the traitors as if they were lol

[patent bluff]

REAL SHIT

I’m making a death guard chapter of loyalists

Shoutout the Heresy btw I love it so much

[drowsy sparrow]

Ohhh nice, love to see them when they’re done 🙂

[toxic stratus]

I have no idea about heresy models, are there any difference between loyalist / heretic models?

[patent bluff]

Not really

It’s whatever “you” want tbh

[patent bluff]

It’ll be a bit, trying to find the energy to paint 60+ models

So far this is the only one I’m okay with

[drowsy sparrow]

It looks really good! And I feel you there, I have to get them and I’ll probably only get a small force, a dreadnought and 20 normal marines

[brisk vapor]

Black, sons of horus green and vallejo green sky

[patent bluff]

What dreadnought?

I also recommend mix and matching the different types of marine armor btw, since there’s mk6, mk3 and 4

One thing I dislike about the Age of Darkness box is how pretty much every single damn marine is mk6

Don’t get me wrong, we love our bird beaks but good lord is it overbearing

I like the mk3 because the armor also looks so clean with all the bolts and metal bits mk6 is kind of basic like standard 40k marines

[drowsy sparrow]

I can’t choice if I want the contempter or the Deredo tbh 😅

[toxic stratus]

I don't like 5, rest is ok

[patent bluff]

Real

Helmets not too bad

[patent bluff]

I don’t know the gameplay differences since I have yet to play a Heresy match but in terms of looks I prefer the Dorito. Intimidating ass dreadnought

Although all of the dreadnoughts look fantastic

Shoutout again to the Horus Heresy for its fantastic design of Space Marines

[drowsy sparrow]

I think all the dreadnoughts look intimidating lol

[toxic stratus]

contemptor is cute

[patent bluff]

Yeah homeboy is pretty cute

Kind of a pain in the ass to put together though I’m not gonna lie

[plush swift]

A wash is not shading, That's something that mini painters get wrong all the time, you need to do heavier shading which involves actually putting more transparent paint in very specific places a you need to do heavier shading which involves actually putting more transparent paint in very specific places, while a pinwash can help with this you need something much heavier than nuln oil as you need the dark just to bring out the metallics more and make them look more metallic. Modern nunl oil is so weak that it's not even worth using

[pearl onyx]

This git shrine is gonna take forever to paint 🥲

[patent bluff]

Work in progress terminator, liking how it’s turning out so far

[visual turret]

no primer?

[patent bluff]

Haven’t gotten any yet

We do a little raw dogging of the paint

[ocean pendant]

Usually if you're not using primer, it's still a good idea to lay down a solid basecoat to work off

[visual turret]

a brave soldier, I respect that

but please see if you can get some primer, even if it's paint-on

it'll do your models a world of good

[patent bluff]

Maybe one day

Does primer from say a hardware store work just as well?

[signal plover]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDPh4Wq1ZvY&t=3829s

[patent bluff]

I’m not watching an hour and a half

No offense

[signal plover]

You don't have to

go to the part where he does hardware primer

or rust oleum

[patent bluff]

Aight

[stray elm]

The thing is it will come off very easy if not used at all and also using even a basic one will help the paint go down for better control

[signal plover]

I remember GW used to make a brush on primer

but they stopped

[patent bluff]

I see, thanks for the advice. I’ll have to look tomorrow for one

[signal plover]

basic black or grey primer is the best imo

[stray elm]

For years I was rocking the GW chaos black

[patent bluff]

I mean I have army painter black, I’m worried the black will make the color duller

[stray elm]

It really shouldn’t be a problem as long as you put enough coats that are thin but it’s sometimes kind of Can. It really matters on the color.

It does make painting, white harder if it’s black

[patent bluff]

I see

Very interesting

[stray elm]

Although doing black commonly, does mean you don’t have to paint the casing on things like bolters or the joints of power amor so it’s a trade off

[grizzled jolt]

Up, I use stuff called camo paint, it's super non-reflected and doesn't clog up details.

[patent bluff]

Aight

[grizzled jolt]

Rustoleum camo, stuff is great.

[urban egret]

Painted my first minis! The leader has already taken down a necron death stalker and eldari wraith lord 🫡

[patent bluff]

Real

[plush swift]

dont need it

[plush swift]

It also has my paint snob seal of approval

[plush swift]

you dont actually need primer as a whole, it does nothing special

in fact in a lot of causes, it causes the paint to have less adherence

but the hardware store stuff is generally the same shit

like literally

rustoleum owns a ton of hobby paint brands

[patent bluff]

I didn’t think I needed it

Not like I’m scraping at the paint or throwing it around

It’s gonna sit on a table

Thank you

[plush swift]

its useful, just not needed

[static elk]

Welp im doin it

Buying some tau

[static elk]

Something about the bare plastic just doesnt like bare paint

Thats why i prime, keeps the paint consistent

[compact umbra]

Cities of sigmar with some immortals!

[mint dove]

@plush swift

Thanks for recommending that burnt umber,

Really makes khorne red pop as an undercoat

But my questions is how do you do skin tones well? I tried doing a few coats of vallejo pale flesh and then washing with reikland fleshade but I just looks kinda streaky

[short pawn]

You didn't ask me but personally I do bugmans glow, reikland wash, then I use another skin tone to go over everything but the recesses, then I highlight the raised bits

[mint dove]

That's the answer I'm looking for lol

[short pawn]

I'm still a painting scrub but hopefully it somewhat helps

[mint dove]

Very much. You see how his face looks lol

[short pawn]

It's really not bad tho imo. Especially from arms-length it pops out really nice it seems

That's the most important thing

You dont want your guys to look like a blob of paint with no depth from a bit away. If they look fucked up close-up that's fine imo

Also think of something that people's eyes would normally gravitate towards. And for me, it's that beautiful flamer.

👌

[static elk]

Ngl im never painting an ork again after these kommandos

I just perfer hard edges and armor

The squig is the exception this guy was a blast to paint

[plush swift]

that is actually a sign your paint is expired

if the paint doesnt adhere to the plastic

[plush swift]

burnt umber, orange, mix in white to taste

[static elk]

Thats fair some of my paint is like 5 years old

But i also like priming black so i parts i cant reach woth a brush dont stand out

[plush swift]

yeah i use verdaccio, same effect but vastly better results when trying to get brighter colors

[patent bluff]

Boooo

[static elk]

Listen i like mechs and i like their armor

Rule of cool here

[static elk]

Im not in it for the blue women

[wise wraith]

bruh

sometimes i think gw wants you to paint in sub assembly but then suggests you dont on videos and guides. how the fuck am i supposed to paint this archons face

[static elk]

I feel that

Im gonna be magnetizing guns so ima need a way of priming and painting those

[wise wraith]

im about to just start painting in sub assembly bc im tired of trying to lose sanity painting around stuff in the way of armor

[patent bluff]

Rule of poo

I’m just kidding, they have a good look

[tranquil kelp]

I never glue on the armour pieces on the knights until everthing underneath is done

[wise wraith]

this is funny as hell coming from a admech pfp

[tranquil kelp]

And I do the armour pieces separately

[patent bluff]

I’ve ironically enough been meaning to change it to a Horus Heresy one

[wise wraith]

ok now THIS sounds a bit extra

i just figured the glue wouldnt stick as well but idc at this point

[tranquil kelp]

Just don't paint the connection stubs

[patent bluff]

What knight you working on?

[tranquil kelp]

well

[patent bluff]

Well?

[tranquil kelp]

I like building stuff more than I like painting...

[patent bluff]

Is it just gray

You don’t have to be scared

I don’t judge

[patent bluff]

Oh god that hurts to look at

They are begging for life yet you do not supply it

[tranquil kelp]

Most of my IG and non-horus Heresy models are painted, but packed in boxes

[wise wraith]

you should base coat them

[patent bluff]

Bro has got the entire tank supply of Cadia on the bottom

[wise wraith]

it would look miles less depressing : (

[tranquil kelp]

only the acheron and warhound aren't primed

[patent bluff]

I don’t blame you not painting those seem like a pain in the ass

But they deserve love

[tranquil kelp]

I got most of these from absurd Ebay deals to be fair

[patent bluff]

Shoutout to the knights

Like how absurd?

[tranquil kelp]

I didn't build half of them myself

less than $100 for a couple

[patent bluff]

Gyatt

Wtf

[tranquil kelp]

My IG, once I get it unpacked, I got almost 100 infantry for around $200

plus another $200 for three Macharius super heavies

[static elk]

Could almost call them... grey knights.

Badum tssssss

[tranquil kelp]

that aren't even recast like my warhound

I am painting them with Grey Knights steel

[static elk]

Im a iron warriors silver user

Sometimes leadbelcher

[tranquil kelp]

I'm doing my knights in a fancy colour scheme

[wise wraith]

how crazy would it be to put a genestealer cult member in a grey knights baby carriage

[tranquil kelp]

I've stripped my first paint job off most of them to be fair, they weren't alwasy unpainted

[static elk]

Someday ill get a knight

But honestly if im building tau, i might just get a stormsurge

[tranquil kelp]

They had a box set for knights a couple years ago. It came with two knights, and the second was actually free.

also a terrain piece

[static elk]

Actually i kinda like the riptide better

[tranquil kelp]

The Tau mechs are pretty nice

I'm off until the 8th, my plan is to have my knights base coated this week

[static elk]

Honestly a riptide with the chaingun is my favorite lookong suit

The accelerator or whayever its called

Kinda crazy that a riptide is only 100, maybe their not as big as i thought

[tranquil kelp]

The Supremecy suit with the giant railgun or pulse cannon array always looks extremely cool

but that's a whole other beast

[static elk]

Is that the massive one with the 3 giant rail cannons on its back?

Ye it is, damn its huge. And sexy

Is that even a gw sold model?

[tranquil kelp]

Forgeworld

[static elk]

600 buckaroos

Ouch

[tranquil kelp]

Now an "expert kit" after the merge

[static elk]

Ima work on my fire warriors and then ill order some crisis suits

[visual turret]

Peep the pose of the fucker I'm building rn

[plush swift]

What’s the best way to paint the knight

[static elk]

I love it when people do leg poses instead of static straight legs

[visual turret]

I did my previous two by priming leadbelcher and dusting her in a drybrush of also leadbelcher and other silvers for some texture, then grimying her up a bit

[visual turret]

I think it depends on what sort of pose you have - this one I see online is a good pose but it's straight-legged

[static elk]

Its still looks like it actually atands atleast, i hate the static lego figurine legs

I see it on allotta dreads

[visual turret]

the lancer has a really nice pose because the lancer has the dynamic of the arm AND lance

[static elk]

Yeah the lancer is by far my favorite knight

[visual turret]

I am "ashamed" to admit I copied goonhammer's pose and colour scheme for my lancer

oh gods yeah

it's gorgeous

I wanted to do this

[static elk]

See thats cool, but like. I dont see a knight being that nimble

[visual turret]

oh no I do

cerastus knights whole thing is speed over sluggishness

they are built to be fast and close quarters

[static elk]

I guess ive never realized how fast they move

[visual turret]

and knights already move "fast" anyway, or at least titans do

The horus heresy trailer from a year ago has titans moving pretty quickly

[static elk]

I do wanna get a knight, but like i was saying ealrier im better off grabbing a riptide since i plan on building tau

[sturdy locust]

AAAAAA MY BF GOT THIS FOR ME

So excited to paint

CHAOS IS AWESOME AND COOL AND EPIC!!!

Night lords were smart, they said nuh uh to those false gods

night lords are more anti-imperium than chaos

same with iron warriors

Chaos more like poop

I never claimed to be pro imperium

I just think chaos gods are stinky

And stoopid

Renegades are where its at

[patent bluff]

[patent bluff]

Chaos more like mid

What do you think of the color scheme

[patent bluff]

I fuck wit it heavy

What’s it’s name

That’s my name

Thank you for the honor

: )

[static elk]

Is a black color scheme with orange highlights lazy?

I feel like a mostly black model isnt very interesting

[ocean pendant]

Not at all, black with orange edge highlights is the colour scheme for Kabal of the Obsidian Rose and it's one of the most popular Drukhari colour schemes

[static elk]

ah, well... im painting tau

but yeah thats very similar to what i want actually

[ocean pendant]

Doesn't matter what you're painting, it's a good scheme

So long as you like how it looks go for it

[static elk]

Ok then thats settled, but i need an orange oil paint so i can make a really thin orange to put in the lines

I cant remember what its called but you water it down into almost a contrast paint and use it kinda for panel lining

[twilit token]

Helbrect

[static elk]

das allotta detail

If im looking to paint in black what the best primer to use?

[reef skiff]

Vallejo black surface primer

[static elk]

Well i dont have an airbrush but i do tend to use black primer from a spray can

Considering a zenithal of white on top to add some flare

Idk if thats worth it if im just making it black

[patent bluff]

Looks nice dawg

[twilit token]

I use rustoleum 2x plastic spray

[static elk]

Thats what i use

[twilit token]

It's great

[static elk]

Very solid

Im just kinda peicing my ideas together to make black tau with orange highlights, withmagnetized guns

Now my next thing is figuring out what i want the under armor color for my fire warriors to be

Either a cream, or a dark brown im thinking

[compact umbra]

hey anyone have ideas for how to paint very jaundice skin?

i wanna paitn my flesh eater courts a sickly yellow

[plush swift]

no

[agile junco]

wip sang guard

[static elk]

Corpse, is a zenithal worth it with a mainly black paint?

I feel like theres not much point if its just black, might be better drybrushing dark grey in those areas, or a blueish grey

[plush swift]

sick as fuck

is that a 30k model

[agile junco]

kitbashed sang guard torso and parts with vindictor legs

[plush swift]

@plush swift I’m sorry for the random ping but how thick should my paint be if I’m going to use a airbrush

[visual turret]

Vaguely watery milk is what I normally hear

[stray elm]

i go for milky ish but it also matters a lot on the paint and also the power your brush has

i have a cheap shity one so my stuff needs to be a bit thiner

Painting some Minis from "Space Marine - The Boardgame":

[hexed wigeon]

Ok think I have a problem, did a count up of my imperial guard, I have 127 infantry 6 tanks 2 valks totalling 3k points……..

[delicate dune]

Only 127 infantry? I shouldn’t be talkin tho, I only have somewhere around the 140s. (If we’re counting infantry models.)

[rustic portal]

One ready, 10 more to go

[twilit lichen]

i want to fight these guys in the game

[mint dove]

It would be a VERY short game lol

[twilit lichen]

eh probs can 1 shot with a plasma pistol to the head XD

[mint dove]

1 plague marine could clear the mourningstar and I'm pretty confident in that assertion lol

[twilit lichen]

20man raid when

[vestal shale]

I would love to do a 20 man raid

[mint dove]

@plush swift so I'm going to be painting my blood angels soon and I know most blood angels have a pale complexion like sanguinius, how can I achieve that? Use burnt umber as a base bit then how can I achieve that pale complexion? Like what's a good mix

[patent bluff]

Good morning 40k Minis and Armies

How are we doing today?

[visual turret]

They don’t even need to get th at close, don’t most plague marines emanate some literal disease-causing aura for like, a mile

[toxic stratus]

4 murderhobos shrug off a beast of nurgle

It's like 3 plague marines powerful

[mint dove]

Oh yeah that's right,

A Plaugeguard could just sit on the mission terminal and read a magazine while the entire crew shits themselves to death

[plush swift]

plaguemarine just has to show up and everyone on the morningstar simultaenously dies of space aids

loud resounding thud as thousands of inquisition members hit the floor stone cold

[crimson forge]

"Do you have a moment to discuss the benefits of joining Nurg- aaaaand they're dead..."

[mint dove]

So I'm not a fan of the shimmery checkerboard powersword effect. Would it look fine if I paint energy arcing off the mode instead? Like painting lighting arcing from the power node in black, then nightlords blue, then baharoth blue then highlight in white?

[plush swift]

Use the mixture in that link I sent you, but use pure titanium white and a lot of it, if you want to go extra fancy ultramarine violet

[mint dove]

Does soflat make titanium white?

Or just any will do

[mint dove]

I wish we had a current gabriel seth model

Not only is it really hard finding the old model for under 80 dollars but it really hasn't aged well

This one I believe

[mint dove]

Oh right that's his right shouldrer.

[toxic stratus]

well even with ordering each custom bit it shouldn't be more expensive than 30 bucks

[mint dove]

I see, well I could do it as a project when I paint everything I have 🙂

@dreamy nebula what about his left shoulder?

[brisk vapor]

I love overdoing these little fuckers

[dreamy nebula]

That ones more tricky but you could probably get away by putting this on a regular shoulder

Might be a bit big though

[patent bluff]

Yummy

[dreamy nebula]

Some pictures the wing wraps wround the shoulder, others it sticks out from it

[mint dove]

I see. Buying everything came out to $75 lol

[short pawn]

This is actually so funny to me, it looks great but you're insane

It pops at you so much, most legion imperalis minis just look like blobs of goo

[plush swift]

any will do, I just will recommend any professional brand for white

[brisk vapor]

appreciate it, gotta be a little bit off in the head for this I suppose

[dreamy nebula]

But you've honestly inspired me to make a Gabriel Seth now as soon as I'm done with my BA army

[mint dove]

Tag me when you start lol

[dreamy nebula]

Definitely going to be a while, my next project is going to be converting the DA combat patrol to BA

[mint dove]

Ayyyyy same project lol

I got them all built and primed

Quick question about the tabletop do most shops play at 2k points or does it depend on the place?

[mint dove]

A tool for Skulling bloodwine and heretics

[mint dove]

I don't play yet but from what I can tell it goes by shop and by what ruleset

[wintry solstice]

Cool I’ll see what my local area is like before building an army than

Thinking about either grey knights or eldar

[mint dove]

Gray knights are dope, all their units are cool

Except for 1

"Papa said if I kill all the demons (and witnesses) we can get ice cream! c:"

[mint dove]

@plush swift meant to ask. Does it matter what brushes I use? I mainly do a bulk of my painting with cheap Amazon brushes but I do have some army painter and citadel ones

[graceful eagle]

@mint dove when you start investing in really nice brushes I recommend --->https://gameenvy.net/product/artists-arsenal-sable-miniature-brush-set/ a fantastic set I use all the time.

[plush swift]

Use professional art brands or cheap amazon ones, brushes by companies like game envy are nothing more than ones from professional companies for an increased cost

The machine to make a brush costs millions and isnt an investment this hobby can make, mini painting is considered a high risk low reward sector

short answer, no it doesnt

[plush swift]

these are rosemerry and co brushes, just buy those and save a ton of money

[mint dove]

I'm gonna start on my orks tonight and these are the first minis I'm gonna try edge highlighting, when highlighting what's preferred to do. Paint every base color then highlight or highlight as you paint

Like if I'm doing the skin, to do all the edge highlights then paint the armor

And if I wanna do rust/grime on armor panels, what comes first? Highlights or damage

[vale pollen]

My first boy

[mint dove]

But I may use bad moons yellow contrast paint mixed with some contrast medium. What's the metric to know if contrast paint is thin enough?

[mint dove]

Gonna try something I saw today, gonna start the yellow armor as pink horror the drybrush with fulgrim pink then white then paint on badmoon yellow contrast

[dark surge]

too this day, i still dont know how i painted the one on the left, the mid and right are more recent but i still dont know how i did it

[hollow goblet]

Contrast paint is essentially pre-thinned, you shouldn't really have to thin it down at all tbh, it's good to go right out of the pot.

It's generally not great for highlights and drybrushing tho, I use contrasts for the vast majority of my colour painting but almost always end up using regular acrylics or dry putties/mettalics for the last layer of drybrushing and highlights

[mint dove]

Oh yeah I was gonna use it for my base coat

[hollow goblet]

Yeah totally fine for a base coat, avoid thinning as it tends to just turn the paint into a wash/shade that refuses to settle on anything remotely raised

Also you wanna use decently thick coats (without drowning the model and covering detail)

[mint dove]

My process was gonna be Gray seer prime>pink horror base>drybrush fulgrim pink>drybrush white>Bad moons yellow contrast>Casandora yellow wash>chunky highlight phalanx yellow>thin highlight flash gitz>dot highlight dorn yellow

[hollow goblet]

Like the more paint settles in the recesses the better BC contrasts lose a lot of their charm if you have to do a second coat

[true inlet]

question.

So a bearer of Vox Caster refunds 1 CP on a 5+(4+ when with an officer) when it is targetted with stratagem.

Does that apply to Reinforcements! Stratagem? Like, can you just immediately get a new Tempestus Scion squad that has been JUST destroyed and get a 1CP refund on 5+?

[hollow goblet]

Yeah that sounds like it'll come out pretty clean tbh, I'm lucky BC I use gold for most of my yellows, regular yellow can be a pain to work with

[hollow goblet]

Does it specify enemy strategems or does the wording imply its any strategems? I don't know the answer for sure here but logic dictates that it probably applies to reinforcements if they haven't worded it to specify you can't proc it with your own strats

[true inlet]

I am sure that it only applies to your own stratagems. But logic made me think that if the entire unit is dead shouldn’t the vox be disabled?

But yeah, hearing what you said that doesn’t seem like the case

[mint dove]

I'd love to make it easier on myself and just switch to Goff clan but I just think bad moons look so cool

[hollow goblet]

Bad Moons are based honetly I love ork dakka lists, nothing quite like throwing 60 dice 3 times per shooting phase lmao

[mint dove]

I cannot WAIT to do that

[hollow goblet]

You say that but Goff have checkers and those thing will make you wanna melon ball your eyes

[mint dove]

"'OL ON 'OL ON I GET ANUTHA ROLL"

[mint dove]

It seems like for the most Unga bunga faction orks are the hardest to paint well

[hollow goblet]

I actually bought a set of bulk dice that are like a quarter of the size of regular ones specifically for my friend who runs an ork list lol

Yeah they're weird its not quite death guard level "Oh no I made a mistake: it looks great"

But it's not exactly precise either

[true inlet]

And end up losing 50 of them in the end XD

I only know orks by the memes but is the “Bad Moon” clan ranged dakka fight oriented detachment?

Can they actually hit something reliably compared to other green skin?

[hollow goblet]

They're da richest ones BC their teef grow back quickest

So they buy all of the best dakka

[true inlet]

So they spend all of it on dakka?

Aha

[hollow goblet]

Yeah they're basically the shooting flavoured subfraction

[true inlet]

So do they still miss a lot?

Or is there a rule that helps them actually hit something

[hollow goblet]

Yeah they still hit on like 5+ they just get a tonne of extra shots

[true inlet]

So basically shoot it until it hits XD

[hollow goblet]

Pretty sure there's something you can do with weirdboys to raise their accuracy for a turn but yeah it's usually just "statistically: one of these has to hit"

[true inlet]

And here I thought IG has to roll a lot of dice

[hollow goblet]

Oh yeah I forgot about Gretchin too

[true inlet]

Gretchins shoot better iirc?

[hollow goblet]

Gretchin tend to be like a ratling equivalent and are much more accurate than normal Orks

Yeah basically they're just insanely fragile

[true inlet]

I heard they have T2

Pretty much the only enemy where lasguns can roll wound rolls on 3+ lmao

[hollow goblet]

Someone said they have a similar base statline to a Necron scarab without any of the benefit aside from weapon accuracy lol

I hope they get a kill team soon Gretchin would be such a fun glass cannon tricky team

[true inlet]

When you want plasma cannon for your baneblade but its on FW

I am learning about competitive 40k these days and now I realise why plasma weapons are so loved

[mint dove]

Right now all I have are 4 squads of boyz, 3 meganobz,1 warboss, 3 coptaz and 1 dredd

Funny thing is all my boyz are different sculpts. One is the old ones that slot into the base. One is the one from 2015 and the other 2 are the push fit ones from the combat patrol

[patent bluff]

Let’s go

[true inlet]

let me ask what you all think

[patent bluff]

Bad idea

[true inlet]

If I am ever getting a DKOK concept army, should I actually buy the FW kit of their Heavy Weapon Team like an idiot or just get Cadian Heavy Weapon Team and Veteram Guardsmen kill team and replace the cadian's head with gasmask?

[lament path]

The FW DK kits are pretty different from the DK plastics, as are the Cadians obviously, though there are kneeling legs in the DK plastic kit, so itd be easy enough to repose them to operate a heavy weapon, all depends how bottomless your funds are

[true inlet]

I can take a LONG time to get all the things I want

but I ain't paying $130 to get something I can get with $84

thats just... dumb

I would rather wrestle with the kits to change the cadian HWT to DKOK even if that means I am merely replacing their head

...Or buy 12 Veteran Guardsmen kill team, get all the models that are sitting down and go down the harder way

I don't know why I'd think getting FW DK HWT kit would be a good idea, I think I was possessed by a chaos daemon

[lament path]

I dont have any expereince with the new cadian kits, but with the old ones you could get away with standing legs for the loader, have them peeking over cover holding binocs or whatever, or even have them mobile carrying the weapon, I stretched out a lot of spare weapons in HW kits that way

[patent bluff]

Purple is bad choice this looks much better

Did u prime those?

[solid rock]

finished good ol Lion el jonson. was a christmas gift from the family

[barren lichen]

Cant wait till they make a promotional darktide killteam

[solid rock]

you could paint karskin inquisition style meanwhile @barren lichen

[barren lichen]

mayber

[solid rock]

theres even pretty good tutorials on this. look way better than my attempts

[barren lichen]

i got my first warhammer today

[solid rock]

what did you get?

[barren lichen]

some tau set

[solid rock]

nice

thin your paints, i didnt first time and those kriegers are still looking like they went to an all you can eat buffet

if you are in the hobby long term a wet pallete is cheap and nice. but just some wet paper towels do well for a start

[mint dove]

If I'm mixing paint with lahmian medium I don't need to thin with water do i?

[visual turret]

not really? but the functions are different as I understand it. Lahmian medium is a thinner that keeps consistency and colour as vibrant as it is whereas water does as the name states and…. Waters it down

[solid rock]

one turns it watery, the other kind of makes it into a contrast paint iirc

[visual turret]

Sort of yeah

Water is fine for most paints

Don’t ONLY thin your paints with lahmian

[patent bluff]

Nah

[hearty bear]

Ik we already have a traitor guard kill team but I NEED a moebian 6th one

Plenty of room for specialists

[barren lichen]

Oki

Thx for the tips

[burnt wing]

Do you generally not prime or has no one ever told you to?

[solid rock]

definetly, its different Tools for different jobs

[patent bluff]

I typically get a feel for what I want as main color scheme before I prime

And you don’t “need” to prime to paint

[solid rock]

imo you kind of do. i learned this the hard way with some tamiya figures back in the day

[patent bluff]

Eh

[solid rock]

priming makes thin paints stick better

i tried that before without priming on an officer model from tamiya and it didnt stick at all

[patent bluff]

What is Tamiya

[solid rock]

brand of non 40k models

but they basically use the same plastics as GW, the plastics glues are interchangeable

[burnt wing]

Technically you don't NEED to do anything but priming really helps not only for it to stick but to create an even basecoat of whatever color you want your models to be

Saw a way to paint yellow with contrast paint, basically a slap chop with a pink bade coat instead of black. The guide said to put screamer pink as a base coat, heavy dry brush of fulgrim pink then light drybrush white then slap on yellow contrast, the pink supposedly makes the yellow pop. Anyone ever dome that before?

What’s the best way to paint a large metallic thing

[patent bluff]

Good question

Big brush

Get a paint roller

[plush swift]

I have to paint my knights body and I don’t know what to do

[plush swift]

Air brush

[plush swift]

It's called distilled water. If your paint requires an actual airbrush thinner, buy a new paint. Seriously, It is a sign that your paint is actually really low quality.

[plush swift]

You can mix your own It's the easiest thing in the world, you can basically just throw a bunch of colors in a pile and either turn brown or black.

[patent bluff]

I see

Thank you

[plush swift]

I’m using citadel so probably

[plush swift]

Ouch, yeah that stuff hates being airbrushed honestly

[patent bluff]

Corpse

I have a question for you

[plush swift]

Starch

[patent bluff]

Considering you are a painter amongst fools here

I want to get an airbrush, what’s a good one for starting out?

[plush swift]

Ghaaleri 39. It's $30-40. It's a good starter airbrush. I use it as an everyday beater quite frequently because I can actually throw it into a acetone bath and not care after putting a bunch of enamels through it

[plush swift]

I use a NEOCO air Brush

It works decently and not to hard to figure out

[patent bluff]

Okay sick

Thank you dude

[patent bluff]

How much is that?

[plush swift]

40$

[patent bluff]

Okay

When I get paid next week I plan to get an airbrush and some stuff for it

[plush swift]

Do you have a air compressor

[patent bluff]

No

[plush swift]

You should get a small one

[patent bluff]

Okay

Any recommendations?

[plush swift]

I think any would work

I ain’t a professional

[patent bluff]

[plush swift]

How good are army painter metallics

[glass forum]

Slow progress but getting there

[mint dove]

Got an airbrush but I think I'll just stick with brushes

The airbrush looks like a ton more work for not a lot of payoff

[stray elm]

i would say learning it is good even if just for priming because over time it will save you a good bit of money

[tranquil kelp]

A bottle of airbrush primer will last you ages longer than a rattle can

[mint dove]

I have 3 bottles of vallejo mecha black primer and a MASSIVE bottle of mecha white

Sooòoooo I guess I should start using those lol

Like the 200ml bottle of white primer lol

Im using Balthasar gold instead

[patent bluff]

[plush swift]

i think they look alright

[patent bluff]

Well thank you

Maybe it’s just a me problem

[plush swift]

theres a bit of white overspill on the left one

but thats easily fixable

since afaik you only used one paint for the gold

[patent bluff]

Yeah

[plush swift]

and also purple and gold is just "zomg emperor's children xd xd xd"

[hollow goblet]

Get me the guy who decided that necron sculpts were all gonna involve sticking something too heavy to be supported onto tiny spindly little strand of plastic that will disintegrate the second plastic glue touches them

I just wanna talk

Also hierotek circle kill team is actually an outright scam

You can't build all of your infantry out of the box and you have to purchase both other crypteks seperately

[short pawn]

Get me the guy who who decided to have the new cadian sculpts hold their weapon with one hand but the hand piece is glued onto an arm joint

IT JUST FALLS OFF AHHH

[hollow goblet]

So you literally have to twice as much to get your full team

Box comes with technomancer, apprentek(its not as if you're not gonna build this) and enough to build 4 more minis but you can have 4 deathmarks or 4 immortals in the kill team and it only gives you enough to build 5 all-up (and you're gonna build the apprentek 100%)

but the two other army leader options are a chronomancer and psychomancer and they're in seperate blister packs

And they deliberately made sure you can't proxy the technomancer bc its on a 50mm base and the other two are on 40mm

I am genuinely astounded at how openly they're scamming on this one I bought this for a friend who likes Necrons bc they're like terminators I can't imagine they'd have stayed in the hobby if they'd bought this and tried building it for themselves

[short pawn]

Dont forget the blooded killteam does basically the same thing

Why is the comms man even a choice it should be a guaranteed build

[hollow goblet]

And you also essentially have to build all of your box infantry as one so that buying the other half seperately isn't a massive pain

Fr especially for shit like blooded thats got reasonably unique kits

[short pawn]

I'm a GW shill but even I see the blooded killteam as an an actual SCAM

You literally need 2 for a viable comp

[hollow goblet]

I know they released it knowing that people would buy it for the ogyrn and resell the rest of cultist or whatever

But still, have a bit of dignity GW

[short pawn]

Wouldn't be an issue if they didnt randomly decide to stop printing the blackstone fortress traitor guard mini expansion

Had an ogryn and commisar in it

[hollow goblet]

Yeah GW's upper management must all have ADHD they way they constantly half finish projects before moving and culling half of them seemingly at random

[short pawn]

Blackstone fortress and its death is one of the most baffling decisions GW has ever made

Also that description is actually so accurate, that's hilarious

[hollow goblet]

I know the process all too well. Trying to juggle streaming, gaming, music, painting, playing 40k, dating and general social life and trying to actively learn how to cook more stuff means that I essentially don't do any of those things bc I'm spread too thin lmao

[plush swift]

"use plastic glue for glueing minis"

piece disintegrates because plastic is melted on contact with the glue

literally what was the point if theyre just gonna force you to use superglue

"we want you to buy plastic glue but you need superglue for necrons" is it over

[hollow goblet]

Real my friends apprentek is looking down at his hand in a full "Oh god what have I become" pose bc I didn't think to use superglue ahead of time

[plush swift]

its just so counter intuitive

why would they advertise plastic glue if theyre gonna force you to pay even MORE for superglue and green stuff to fill in ugly gaps

and its fucking necrons too so all their sculpts are spindly as shit

[plush swift]

their sculpts look fucking majestic but its just not fun

[hollow goblet]

You're looking at the lament of a man realizing he can never again sniff his fingers

[plush swift]

the lament of a necron that can never feel the warm glow of a tomb world

this thing just looks fucking horrendous to build

[hollow goblet]

that egirl collar on his neck?

Seperate piece

[plush swift]

its so over

[hollow goblet]

That you need to glue a smaller piece onto so it will slot into the chest properly

[plush swift]

not my pic but the bottom of the legs especially

[hollow goblet]

Otherwise the only contact point is the shoulder guards

[hollow goblet]

Funnily enough that's apparently one of the easier models to build bc its bulkier

[plush swift]

aside from the legs yea i see where youre coming from

but it just looks so annoying to build from anything below the waist

Can't say I know either way this is the first box of crons Iv'e built

[fair sun]

Does anyone know if all the current terminator figures are on the same scale? I want to kitbash the Deathwing Knights hooded heads onto grey knights terminators/custodes units but don't know if they're scaled the same or not.

[lavish crescent]

Nope, new terms are bigger than grey knight terms

[hollow goblet]

Scarab Occult Terminators and Grey Knights both still have smaller termies relative to other factions iirc

[lavish crescent]

But the others, custode to sm. Eh?

Might be abit small? New terms to custode you could have something

Storm cast to custodes, yes

[hollow goblet]

Custodes is roughly on the same scale as them BC people use custodes legs to kitbash grey Knights to look like they're more in proportion

[lavish crescent]

Nahh fuck that, use new terms, you get a better look my guy

[fair sun]

So to recap, knight hoods should work with Custodes, and maybe non-terminator Grey Knights?

[tranquil kelp]

Everything works with enough greenstuff

I don't play either one I just know it's something people do

Y'all I need some input

Currently been getting into kill team, got two of my friends a box to start out, 2-3 of my other friends have either bought boxes or are planning to, I was planning on collecting extra kill teams so that I/my other friends who are playing can have a bit of variety and swap to something different if they want

We have Ksons, Sisters (both teams), Gellerpox, Hierotek Circle, Nids, and possibly also tomb world and Karskin

What should I be looking to get next kill team wise?

Looking for something that's easy enough for newer players to pilot and maybe offers a different playstyle to what we have atm

Oh yeah I also have the chaos cultists team

[edgy jackal]

Orks? They are simple to build and play (only one option really, which melee weapon the nob gets). Moreover, they should play differently to the other listed teams.

[hollow goblet]

Good suggestion tbh everyone in my group likes Orks so it should be a popular option

It was between crons and orks for one of my friends and crons got the edge bc she fkn loves the terminator movies

Now he is about to feel 7.8 metric tons of force as I hurtle it into my wall

[plush swift]

me absolutely thundercunting my redemptor dread at the wall because I accidentally scrapped a godroll

a WIP of some Chosen

[fresh zealot]

First time i'v ever painted a Mini, think i did well enough, only now just noticed the unpainted bit on the lower abdomen.

[patent bluff]

Very nice dude

[main mango]

Nice job

[prisma oracle]

Hey hey hey

I am doing a Rogue Trader Campaign and wanted to know if anyone would be down to play out quest battles in Vassal to give the results a more realistic edge.

[rare hornet]

You do know how to go big huh? 😂

Fair play though, bet that’ll look amazing

[visual turret]

TRUE!!!

[patent bluff]

What?

[rustic portal]

I finally got the skin right

The tone

[prisma oracle]

1. You send down a bunch of men, for a price
2. they duke it out without your direct involvement
3. profit

and I want to play out these battles with someone in the hobby.

[patent bluff]

Did you mean the game or is it like a tabletop thing

[prisma oracle]

Vassal is a Miniature Simulator program and tabletop
Rogue Trader is a TTRPG

[patent bluff]

Ah okay

Cool

[visual turret]

I know you mentioned it for the lancer not to glue them but for the Acheron - the same? @rare hornet

[rare hornet]

yeah i would suggest the same, means it'll be easier to paint

[visual turret]

even though it's thinner and will only be the trim colour?

hmmm, okie dokie

[rare hornet]

To be fair, on closer inspection, you could get away with it

[visual turret]

Posing is at it's final set, I just need something for the base

GW employee suggested sourcing and hacksawing down a shipping container

[patent bluff]

Damn that thing looks so clean

[plush swift]

thats expensive, just do what most do, make it out of cardboard

or clay

[visual turret]

it's dirt cheap on ebay

[plush swift]

how much?

[visual turret]

I can get a single container for a couple quid

[plush swift]

thats reasonable

I was selling the crates for $35 each at one point

[visual turret]

jeez

[static elk]

And so it begins

[plush swift]

winton make for incredibly bad oil washes

[static elk]

Im using it for panel lining

[plush swift]

yeah they make bad panel liners too

[static elk]

Oof

[plush swift]

the wax content is so high that when you thin them they tend to adhere and not move

they are borderline the worst oil paint on the market

of what I would consider an oil paint

[static elk]

Well, curse you random youtube video i watched

[plush swift]

Oh hobby videos are garbage

they dont know what they are talking about 99% of the time

and very few know anything about oils

they go "oh this is cheap, no point in buying a better tube" when thats wrong

you get better bang for your buck with professional stuff

Just dont use the brands I use

I paid $150 for a tube of oil last night

[static elk]

Dayum

Thats pretty much the cost of my primaris kill team, paints included

Although i have 5 primaris still on the sprews soooo

[rare hornet]

The next project :3

[static elk]

Space marine soup

[patent bluff]

Is that erm a heresy dreadnought I see

[mint dove]

Certified Ork moment

[rare hornet]

yup!!

[plush swift]

I'm a professional oil painter and that one tube will save me about $800 this year

[patent bluff]

Real shit

I love the Horus Heresy

[mint dove]

Sometimes I forget you're like a professionally trained artist lol

[plush swift]

phd in art, certifications for art conservation and to teach art

[patent bluff]

Damn

[plush swift]

So I have a bit of experience when it comes to things

[patent bluff]

Bro is insane

“A bit”

[plush swift]

yeah just a bit

[patent bluff]

Real

[plush swift]

I wouldnt call myself a good painter

I just know how to teach art well

[static elk]

Well thats fair, im a countryboy in rural iowa doing my best

[plush swift]

I live in semi-rural NC

[static elk]

Thats fair, i work on air conditioners for a living and paint in my free time

[plush swift]

See I idolize jobs like yours as they are incredibly important for society

and require a ton of skills most dont have

[static elk]

Yeah its fullfilling but fuck it sucks doing it this time of year

[plush swift]

So I always make sure to slip the worker a few bucks under the table

y'all dont get paid enough

[static elk]

I wish i worked around more people like you, i get maybe 1 tip every 2 months

[plush swift]

last one I paid for their car to get a new transmission.

[static elk]

Damn

[plush swift]

I cant work without them

[static elk]

Yeah thats fair

I work specifically in changing systems out that no longer work

[plush swift]

Yeah you're a godsend to me, if I dont have strict temp controls in my studio working at all times, i can have million dollar paintings ruined
