40k-minis-and-armies

[median flame]

You can

[patent bluff]

Real

[median flame]

Ive asked around pretty sure first born have rules for 10th

[patent bluff]

That’s awesome

[median flame]

Plus depending on how many HH tac squads you have you could have double

[patent bluff]

“This guy is 10,000 years old. How you may ask? He is really shitty at his job”

[median flame]

Or warp shenanigans

[patent bluff]

I’ve got the Age of Darkness box, a Contemptor and the Tartarus terminators

So I have a sizable amount of tiny men

[median flame]

So a 40k tac squad of marines is 10 sooooooooo double your tac squad cout

[median flame]

Nice

[patent bluff]

Thinking about getting the Legions Astartes box

Since it comes with a Dredero

And I love the design of the Dredero

Plus having Mk3 would be nice as mk6 armor is decent

[median flame]

Not too sure it’s worth I just got a mk3 squad and a dorrito

[patent bluff]

I mean it comes with a tank does it not?

[median flame]

Pretty sure another land raider

[patent bluff]

Wouldn’t it have more value realistically

Yeah

[median flame]

I got enough of those

[patent bluff]

I’ve got one with the Darkness box, I’m too scared to put it together and paint it

[median flame]

Paint as you build

Also get magnets if you don’t have em

Magnetize your vehicles and dreds

[patent bluff]

I don’t have any, thought about doing so when I have free money

[median flame]

Then I suggest doing so before building it

[patent bluff]

Yeah

[median flame]

Or fully assembling it

You could build it in pieces then paint it

[patent bluff]

Im not too worried about painting it as to how?

[median flame]

Air brush

[patent bluff]

Don’t own one

[median flame]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[patent bluff]

Womp Womp

[median flame]

Truly

[brisk vapor]

Finally some proper pictures of my finished Reaver. Also included the classic Reaver artwork which worked as my loose inspiration for the work

[median flame]

Nice Reaver, how long it take you to paint and Build it?

[brisk vapor]

I started it way back in September but it has not been the only project I've worked on. I finished most of it in November but only added the infantry to it's base last week

[median flame]

Ah cool

Wait

Is that an epic scale model?

[brisk vapor]

yes

[median flame]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-eto-bleh-anime-bleh-gif-26784876

Thought it was a 40k scale

[brisk vapor]

[median flame]

That’s like the size of a dread model

[brisk vapor]

yeah pretty close

[median flame]

Smol

[muted copper]

I unf don't really have yellow for the light😅 so trchnically not quite done yet

[visual turret]

Decided to paint up a knight like Optimus prime at some point

[charred marsh]

Finished my first knight

Rushed it a little at the end, so it's a little sloppy(also had no clue what to edge highlight so only a little bit has it)

[barren lichen]

The boys are assembled, time for painting

Yes the drones are glued...

[patent bluff]

That’s awesome

[charred marsh]

Thank you!

[patent bluff]

Is it a Homebrew type of deal or did you just paint it however you wanted?

[charred marsh]

I kind of just painted it how I wanted, cuz I don't plan on playing the game(and my main army is space marines so why make a homebrew knight house Im never going to use)

[patent bluff]

Real

I respect that, good job dawg

[charred marsh]

I appreciate it!

[plush swift]

Guns

[plush swift]

its less effort to use your hands to make a point

[signal plover]

[sweet stirrup]

Finished up my Hearthkyn Salvagers today

Now to base them

[short pawn]

Counter point - my hand cant give me the thrill of crunchy paint

[rare hornet]

He’s staring to get there now

[plush swift]

Yes it can

[short pawn]

Yippeee!!@!

[neon dawn]

These look so dope

[heady lotus]

I love AT I love AT I love AT

Random pictures from our titan games go

[hollow goblet]

Surprised it took so long but Khorne finally got me

[short pawn]

Damn whatd u do

[hollow goblet]

Trying to saw my infernal master off the base so I can give him a tactical rock and I positioned the blade like a n idiot and was using a brand new blade

[short pawn]

Damn dude

[hollow goblet]

Its tiny but it's bleeding so much more than it should be lmao

Gotta try and find a band-aid lol

[short pawn]

Yeah do that!!!

Poxwalker upon thee

[mint dove]

I didn't realize just how bad vallejos washes were until now

I used nuln oil for the first time today and it's a massive improvement

[plush swift]

lick it

[plush swift]

imagine how good home made is

[mint dove]

Home made?

[plush swift]

yes

home made washes

you can tune them how you want

and change them freely

[mint dove]

From what I see is it just a mix of ink water and medium

[plush swift]

kind of

yeah

[glossy hawk]

@plush swift what's your most used wash for general grime

the recipe, that is

not too heavy, not as light as nuln oil

[plush swift]

I dont use washes, I find them to take away from my work in most cases when when I do I use an oil wash consisting of burnt umber and terre de cassel

[glossy hawk]

well fair enough then lol

[plush swift]

it can translate to acrylics

well terre de cassel is hard to translate

as that isnt really a thing in acrylics these dyas

its vandyke brown

[glossy hawk]

ah

thanks starch

[plush swift]

no problem

[mint dove]

What color wash do you think would be best if I want to dirty up the averland sunset armor on my orkz?

[main mango]

I can’t look at a custodes without thinking of the emperor tts

[short pawn]

Do you guys think that stormhost silver would look good for cadian armor chipping?

[mint dove]

You could always do gunmetal and then silver on the most prominent edges

[edgy jackal]

From citadel? Seraphim sepia maybe?

Agrax?

[edgy jackal]

This is how citadel recommended cadian paint chips back in the day

Repost because pic was upside down

[short pawn]

its a cool effect but seems excessive for 80+ guardsnmen

but ty! im gonna do that for my heroes prob

[mint merlin]

eh

tbh when you already painted that much guardsmen

just adding that small step isn't that much

[short pawn]

ig, plus i can just sponge it all

[toxic stratus]

Guide says it's easy, just drybrush the boots. Boots: carefully painted weathering

Or gw drybrushing is more controlled than my highlighting

[short pawn]

imo their weathering is too precise and....just not natural

[toxic stratus]

Definitely not drybrushed tyrant skull

[jaunty trail]

@sweet stirrup ordered myself yesterday also the salvagers... couldn't resist a 40 bucks offer 🤣 ... I will keep you on track when i start building them ^^

[sweet stirrup]

awesome, do it! 😄

[hearty bear]

I think I accidentally found you on twitter

[brisk vapor]

It do be possible

[hearty bear]

Yep, exact model

[edgy jackal]

Look at the size of the brush (medium drybrush)

[plush swift]

brown

[edgy jackal]

This is an old "medium" drybrush, with current KT beastman for scale

It's not a very large drybrush

[rare hornet]

It’s not the size of the dry brush that matters, but how you use it

[short pawn]

what the hell is the point in this thing

why would you not just highlight at that point

[edgy jackal]

drybrushing boots

faster workflow

[short pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/slowly-turning-emoji-gif-23679616

[edgy jackal]

But seriously, it's for drybrushing details without covering other parts. Say you wanted to drybrush an undead skeleton of some kind, and didn't want to hit their metal parts, then you'd use a smaller drybrush.

[short pawn]

Yeah I could definitely see that after getting some AoS skeleton models.

The sudden urge to make a white scar army

Me after i find out all space marine chapter rules/roster is locked on the app

[hollow goblet]

They barely exist anymore it's all just flavoured detachments you can run with any legion

[visual turret]

RUINOUS POWERS THAT BE, STAKE CLAIM TO THE CORPSE EMPEROR

[short pawn]

Nuh uh they're white and red and got motorcycles

[short pawn]

Did you just invent true scale chaos terminators

Oh its probably the camera angle

[visual turret]

No those are just the actual chaos termi box

[short pawn]

They looked so much taller there

Such nice sculpts

[visual turret]

They’re tiny lol

Compared to new termi’s

[short pawn]

I wonder if chaos space marines will ever go truly go truescale

I think their new(ish) killteam box is true scale?

[visual turret]

Maybe?

[median thistle]

Slowly getting there

[rare hornet]

Hey I have the exact same idea of doing double axe guy 😄

But he’s going to be instead of the claws

[visual turret]

I’ve done the claws too >:3

[rare hornet]

I saw! He looks great

[visual turret]

Gonna do one of each chaos undivided faction

Claws will be night lords
Cannon will be Iron Warriors
Captain w/ sword will be black legion
Combi Plasma gun will be Alpha legion
Axes McGee will be word bearers

[toxic stratus]

Nothing in 40k is true scale?

[median thistle]

Depends on your definition of true scale I suppose

[rare hornet]

1:1

[median thistle]

Unless you mean true scale as In having correctly sized heads

[rare hornet]

‘Honey I shrunk the imperium’

[toxic stratus]

They use heroic scale, big heads, hands and feet

[rare hornet]

What nobody realises is that between now and the great crusade the entire universe just got really small

[toxic stratus]

I can live with average human height in 40k being 25mm

Then hive city populations start to make sense

[median thistle]

I mean you do have a point

[rustic portal]

Finished. A gift from a friend

FOR THE DARK GODS AND [Insert your favourite legion primarch] PERTORABO!!!

[mint dove]

Is this an okay badmoons army?

I know ghazgul isn't technically badmoons but he's the only big unit I can get

[tardy summit]

Something I have been working on for horus heresy.

[plush swift]

wrong

[median thistle]

aw

[plush swift]

gotta keep you on your feet

[median thistle]

oh dont worry I dont need that I spend my work days parrying blows with a 7 year old

its the reason why my building takes so slow cuz once im home from work I dont have the patience for slow and steady xD

only gotta do around 15 models at least built across tonight and half of tommorow before saturday

yayyyyyyyy

[signal plover]

Still a lot of work to go on this old fella

[toxic rampart]

Looket 'ere Boyz! Da boss gots some new armor!

[mint dove]

Painting this one last outta the combat patrol. Gonna spend 5-10 hours on him

As opposed to when I get ghazgul, I'm gonna spend like 20-30 hours on him

[midnight locust]

Is it worth washing a base that has crackel technical paint like Martian earth crust

[plush swift]

entirely up to you

there is no right or wrong answer thtere

[midnight locust]

Okay just wanted to make sure it wouldn’t break up the technical paint, I do it with other stuff but I know crackle is a bit of a different beast

[patent bluff]

Dude that looks amazing

I’ve actually been looking on EBay at Alpha Legion stuff for HH and it’s all really cheap?

Do people not like the Alpha Legion? Granted I myself don’t know a lot about the lore surrounding them

[toxic rampart]

He looks good. I can't wait to see Ghaz

[mint dove]

Need a hand on what to do with my first army, I added a truk and flash gitz, removed my big mek and lootaz but the problem is I'm over by 15 points, how can I fix this to make it at least somewhat playable?

[toxic rampart]

2000 point army, right?

Oh, 1000 point army. Alright.

Ok. Make sure you have your ammo runt for your Flash Gitz.

I would drop a set of Boyz, increase the number of Meganobz to 3, and take an enhancement on your Warboss in Mega Armor. Follow me Lads helps his overall speed and makes it so your 3 Meganobz get into battle faster.

It puts you about 15 points under 1000, but should still be very usable.

[silver thorn]

being down by 15 points isnt a big deal

[short pawn]

You can just add an enhancement to your warboss in mega armor if you dont wanna lose 15 points

[toxic rampart]

I figure with Follow me Lads will help them after exiting a Trukk. Use them in a truck first to move the slowest units as far as possible in a short time, hitting an objective and holding it with tough units.

I would also swap the Kustom Shoota for Kombi-weapons for your Meganobz.

I'd update the gear on this, but it might help ya. @mint dove

[mint dove]

I think I'll use this, someone in another server recommended another variation but its...expensive

Add another trukk, drop mega armor and gaz and add a warboss to every unit of boyz

And with have almost 2000 points of unpainted orks and blood angels my wife would kill me if I bought more plastic lol

[toxic rampart]

Yeah... I feel that.

I built a battle wagon from old toys in my house because my wife wouldn't let me buy one, lol

[mint dove]

Especially 220 more dollars worth

[mint dove]

Lol why didn't I think of that

"I'm an ork player, if I believe this upturned trashcan is a mega gargant...it's a mega gargant

[toxic rampart]

Orks is all about takin' scrap and makin' awesome things. Gotta think outsidea ds boxes.

[mint dove]

I think I'm gonna actually try to do this

[toxic rampart]

Also, apparently, the citadel bottles are about the size of the cores for Deff dreads... So... Use that how you will.

[mint dove]

I still have a bunch of bits leftover from goodwill stuff

And in the words of the local LGS owner.

"If you're in a casual match and your opponent starts making fun of your proxy, don't play with that guy"

[toxic rampart]

Another fun note for you.

[mint dove]

Plus i bought some old ork boy models so I can mod them to work in a battle wagon

[toxic rampart]

Sprues melt in acetone... If you half fill an old pickle jar with acetone and put sprue bits in them, they melt into a semi liquid...

[mint dove]

Oh dude I love sprue goo

[toxic rampart]

If you spread it on wax paper, and use a nickel and penny stacked together, it's about 3mm thick... You can squish it down to make panels.

[mint dove]

Makes those God awful push fit orks from the combat patrol usable

[toxic rampart]

Truth.

I also built my own Warboss too. Left over parts from a bunch of Meganobz, flash gitz, and a few other kits.

[mint dove]

Also this project gives a perfect opportunity to use that Tamiya pla-plate if had in my drawer for a year

[toxic rampart]

Perfect! Glad to help you find your inner Ork

[mint dove]

That's pretty fuckin cool

I'll have to go diving through my bits and see what I got

I built the combat patrol, a box of boyz and mega nobz

[toxic rampart]

Once the ideas get going, looking at all the bits and bobs you have, you will make all kinds of stuff.

[mint dove]

So ive got something kicking around

Also where do I get the ammo runt?

Does he come with the gitz?

[toxic rampart]

It should have been with the flash gitz.

I think it looks like a bag with a Grot in it covered in ammo

[mint dove]

Oh that explains it. I don't have the gitz yet lol

It's a valentines day present from my wife

Along with gaz

But shhhhhhh I'm not supposed to know

[toxic rampart]

Heehee. Glad you are getting them none the less.

[mint dove]

I got her ahriman and a box of exalted sorcerers

[toxic rampart]

Oh nice! Glad you have a partner who plays too. That is cool.

[mint dove]

I love her to death, despite being a dirty heretic

[toxic rampart]

Can't always be correct and okay Orks or Guard.

[mint dove]

Some of us just aren't blessed to see the true glory of Moar dakka. Sad really

[toxic rampart]

It is sad. But when they see da error of dey ways it will be when da Boyz show up!

[mint dove]

Bummer thing is I built my 3rd meganob as a big mek so he'll be a little out of place

Also if I wanna make my own trukk/battle wagon what size should I aim for?

[toxic rampart]

Nah. You can run him as a normal Meganobz and no one will say anything.

Oh! Hang on, I got something for that!

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/595000.page

That should help

That has most of the measurements for Ork things

[mint dove]

Immensely helpful

Though I'm gonna look like a crazy person measuring toys in a goodwill lol

And I think I have just the big shoota for it

There's an old minigun from a gundam builder kit. Like 3 space marines long

More dakka indeed

[toxic rampart]

Those kinds of models are very finicky, be careful in cutting it down or it won't sit right.

I was also gonna take a bunch of old Gundam models as well, I was gonna turn several of them into a massive Meka-Dread

[alpine wyvern]

whoa i didnt know there was a hobby channel here

heres my latest one

[junior meadow]

those are awesome

[compact umbra]

8 tool boxes I bought for warhammer reasons

[maiden steppe]

Quick little test model, trying out some darker colours for my traitor guard, still no clue if I should keep the shoes and stuff all black or not

[tardy summit]

I honestly have no clue. I really like how their stuff looks.

[patent bluff]

Right? They look cool and I like the aqua blue of the armor

[signal plover]

Loveeeeeeeeeee when BTs get painted in this dark grey color compared to the usual black

looks phenomenal

[plush swift]

[plush swift]

Armless joe

[clear fulcrum]

I managed to get a pre-order for the Bretonnian box!

So happy

[mint dove]

@toxic rampart found the perfect kit for a trukk

Tamiya makes a kit of something called a halftrack

Tell me this doesn't look like something an ork thinks up

[toxic rampart]

Oh yeah, 100%! I've been meaning to get my hands on it. It's fairly close to proper sizes too.

[mint dove]

Gonna check if my local hobbytown has one, should be pretty cheap

Well considering one trukk is $60 I can get 2 for that price

Also BEHOLD

ORK

Still gotts do some small highlights here and there but my first ork of the mew squad is tabletop ready

[toxic rampart]

Looket dat boy!

YEAH!

[plush swift]

wrong

[plush swift]

it kinda does

it need to look more thrown together tho

[mint dove]

Oh I'm gonna ramshackle it up

[plush swift]

[mint dove]

That is literally one of the goofiest vehicles Ive ever seen lol

It's like an ork went "trukk good...but tank betta"

HES COMING ALONG! mine gets here soon

🙂

[plush swift]

thanks

what knight variant are you going to make

[mint dove]

I stand

Wildly corrected

[silver thorn]

Canis Rex

[hollow goblet]

Their lore is really really dumb it's mostly that tbh

It's literally "all according to Keikaku" but has never once recieved the quality of writing a turbo complicated espionage faction with dubious loyalty needs to be taken seriously

[plush swift]

isnt that the one with the chainsaw arm

[silver thorn]

No he has a big fist

[hollow goblet]

So they're like that one kid who pretends that they did everything "on purpose" bc they can't admit they're wrong

[plush swift]

how are you going to paint it

[silver thorn]

its going to be in my sisters army

So in my sisters color scheme

black, silver and red

with gold accents

i have two sororitas rhino kits which have a ton of symbols, candels and stuff i can decorate it with

[strange star]

for some reason i wanna see the inside of an eldar titan cockpit, anyone available?

[plush swift]

That sounds really fucking cool

When I start my blood angles army I might use the knight

But I might just sit on the shelf and look pretty

[plush swift]

orks do be wild yo

[hollow goblet]

Realized the Votann Land Fortress is essentially the same as the Gears of War light transport chassis and the temptation to make a gears of war esque Votann army is palpable

They have a kill team right?

Also lowkey can warhammer make GoW canon in their universe bc those two feel like they mesh really well

Nah fuck it homebrewing datasheets and models for the locust rn

[silver thorn]

wow... youre right.

[hollow goblet]

I mean to be fair I can see some really blatant 40k inspiration in Gears, which is probably a nice role reversal for GW lmao

[short pawn]

I can't decide between white scar or deathwing army next

Does white scar use assault intercessors? I assume hard yes

[plush swift]

gears of war army…

gears if war if it was good

leagues of votann if it was good

[jaunty trail]

Just wait for their 10th edition release 😉

[plush swift]

🦅

[jaunty trail]

I'm pretty sure they get something new with release ^^

I currently work on some hernkyn pioneers and soonish my salvagers will arrive

and my votann pile of shame is still huge enough 🤣

Hang on I'll DM you the link its one of those obnoxiously long ones

[toxic stratus]

Why haven’t they remade that model

[peak flicker]

Lost the stands so decided to improvise

[plush swift]

That’s sick

[short pawn]

God im gonna eat my space marines

[plush swift]

or you know... a good paint

[short pawn]

I do not care a single damn

I am not buying professional grade paint when i am under minimum wage mr sir

[plush swift]

I respect that

[short pawn]

But i will buy a whole new army box

[plush swift]

You know the paint I use is cheaper than proacryl

by like a lot

and I mean I lot

[short pawn]

Ermmmm but it isnt at the store!

Bruh its 3 bucks at my store i dont care about saving 20 cents 😭

[plush swift]

I literally paid $3 for a 200ml

its not 20 cents

[short pawn]

You probably in live paint town USA idk

[plush swift]

No, I live in the middle of nowhere

[short pawn]

Me too but also really not

Give me the name of this nice white paint kindly and i will look into it

[plush swift]

where we literally just had to have a law for price gouging pop up because the stores were charging $35 for a gallon of water because of the storms coming

the local grocery store increased all their prices by 1000%

I love the south

its great

How big is the storm going to be

cant fucking wait to move back to LA or manhattan at this point

[plush swift]

massive

[short pawn]

I thought you had a tiny anount of love for pro acryl

[plush swift]

firs tpart hit and a lot of people died

I live the the western side of the US and I’ve been getting warning for it

[short pawn]

Nobody asked but I was in Arizona's first real hurricane in an entire century

[plush swift]

I have some information about them I cant discuss publically but if people knew it, most would stop using it instantly

[plush swift]

God might hate you

[plush swift]

Arizona has weather?

[short pawn]

It was literally during our group's first annunal summer trip

Like WHY

WHAT DID I DO

[plush swift]

exist

[plush swift]

Fr

I thought it was just hot

[short pawn]

This is what i get for using pro acryl

Also i dont get the hooplah about toxic paint i wanna be a health hazard

[plush swift]

yes

[short pawn]

I want to be the guy that has to have a label written up on the side of products for

[plush swift]

oh this isnt a toxicity thing.... well it is but it isnt a health and safety thing

[short pawn]

Either way, I only get stronger

So whats this epic white paint mr man

I would like some nice white paint

[plush swift]

golden titanium white.

[short pawn]

I will pay a premium if it doesnt take half a year to get here

[plush swift]

Golden high flow is dope

but that costs more than what I get

[short pawn]

Titan buff?

I dont see anything about that

[plush swift]

what I get is for professional users only

NERD

[short pawn]

TYENE WHWYW

WHY AM I GETTING IT

[plush swift]

no, thats a warm white

[short pawn]

My brother i have been painting for 7 months

[plush swift]

guess your a pro now

[plush swift]

thats 7 months longer than most people

[short pawn]

But im enjoying it!!!!

Yiipppee!

[plush swift]

most golden demon winners have only been painting for like a year before they won their first

so 5 months and you're a golden demon contestant

[short pawn]

Well i am nowhere near average yet and i can hardly thin my paints right

[plush swift]

thats kinda nuts

[short pawn]

So maybe i get easy paints

[plush swift]

I will start a workshop right now if you want

Im just making coffee

[short pawn]

I would but i have to turn the wheels of capitalism and go to store 😭

I regret to inform you that i will be getting a hobby white paint while im there so i can paint my white scars tonight

[plush swift]

well you can join tonight

[plush swift]

dont fall on your way there

[short pawn]

I am sorry i also cant because my friends are coming over to paint:((

I think my main issues with painting is consistency and glazing/you know like harder effects. I was being a little hyperbolic of my inability to thin paints

But i very much appreciate the offers thats very nice and something that'd help

[short pawn]

Try me

[plush swift]

bet

[short pawn]

NOOO YOU'RE GONNA SMITE ME

[plush swift]

im gonna throw a banna peel in your path

[short pawn]

Wait till you find out im going to the store to pick up the space marine codex

[short pawn]

I do not like that you decided to use these words in that order

I just thought I'd let you know

https://tenor.com/view/god-of-war-kratos-have-you-nothing-to-say-gif-17109925

[plush swift]

drive by banna peel

you wont expect it

[short pawn]

I will dodge it

[plush swift]

😿

[midnight locust]

I have discovered the joys of wine corks

[plush swift]

well just ping me anytime if you want to learn, a lot of this stuff hobbiests talk about in videos grossly over complicates things

[short pawn]

Agreed

Like zunikto and shit

Are not good teachers

[plush swift]

I'm not that great myself but I at least have experience teaching doctoral students

so I have a very strange knowledge base

[rare hornet]

Vexila is done

Just the spear left to do

[jaunty trail]

Old tin minis are pain to paint 🤣 currently working on a tin scout sniper for my scout squad.... man it's a challenge

[mint dove]

So I wanna paint the teeth and claws on my orks. But I've never really done teeth well before

[plush swift]

and?

[mint dove]

Would a good way to do it to base with soflat burnt umber,drybrush ushabti bone then highlight with screaming skull

[plush swift]

dont do them badly

thats how you do them well is by not doing them badly

[plush swift]

that can work

I dont know what screaming skull is but I assume its yellowy white

[mint dove]

Yeah it's a brightest off-white

Brightish

Lemme grab the splotch

You are correct

[plush swift]

that will look nothing like the actual paint

[mint dove]

Oh shit wait a minute

I have wraithbone now

[plush swift]

citadel is always fairly off their digital swatch but i can assume what it will look like

[mint dove]

I could use wraithbone to get closer to that teeth color

But then again they're orks...and orks don't own tooth brushes

Much to think about

[dreamy nebula]

Maybe corax white, with a thin coat of wraithbone and a little agrax earthshade to your liking to darken it more

[plush swift]

that wouldnnt look right

[short pawn]

Anybody got any tips for sub assemblies?

[mint dove]

Like how to paint them?

[short pawn]

Like how do you assemble them without glueing them

Like dry fitting and keeping them dry fit

Or like how would I go about doing the arms? Would I glue their hands to the gun then just paint both arms together? Idk

[mint dove]

You can superglue the parts you want to paint in sub assembly to something to keep them steady then snap them off when you're done

Or alternatively drill a small hole into a part you won't see (like the connection point, and put a small dab of super glue on a paperclip and stick it in that hole then you can either put the other end of the paper lip into something like a block of wood to hold it steady or just hold the clip

[short pawn]

Ahhh its a paper clip they use in those videos

[hollow goblet]

Yeah pinning with wire is probably your best bet

[short pawn]

I was wondering where the fuck i get a tiny little pin

I just got a wooden stick inside of a cork

[hollow goblet]

You can order lil spools of thin metal wire online for like $5

I got some of temu for cheaper I think

[short pawn]

I have the citadel paint holder which works fine for me i just need little ones for things like guns and heads

So a paper clip and cork might fuck

[rare hornet]

I’ve used Zandri dust and then Agrax wash

[mint dove]

See I tried zandri dust but it didn't gimme the look I wanted, I used it on this one

[mint dove]

That looks better than mine lol

[rare hornet]

Ngl I am much more a fan of the old ork models, just love the derpy poses so much

[hollow goblet]

Honestly I've found painting teeth is the exact same as painting bone with the notable exception that you want a more of a glossy finish

or painting horns

[short pawn]

I like how my guys teeth came out

[hollow goblet]

Like the enamel on your teeth tends to look a lil glossy and there's probably some spit involved somewhere lol

[short pawn]

I mostly am so proud of those gums

Hes just a guy

[mint dove]

Something about this looks...off-putting

Like in. Good way

Like he looks like a creature I wouldn't want within 10 feet of me and that's as ork as it gets lol

[cosmic mulch]

its because the teeth have a somewhat uncanny dirty color to them

[mint dove]

That's it

They look too real

[cosmic mulch]

like a "not human type of dirty teeth" type of dirty

[mint dove]

You did so good of a job lol

[cosmic mulch]

very much recognizable as dirty teeth but very rarely if ever do human dirty teeth look that way ... thats why it gets a bit of an "uncanny valley" effect

btw .... anyone have a good tip how to get emaille paint off of metal minis?

its enamel in english i think

[hollow goblet]

Corpse probably does

@plush swift

[plush swift]

acetone

[cosmic mulch]

tried that its kinda hit and miss

tbf ... minis are like 20 years old at this point

[plush swift]

what brand of enamel?

[cosmic mulch]

no idea

i was like 11

[plush swift]

if acetone doesnt work that would be shocking

[cosmic mulch]

probably revell LOL

[plush swift]

goof off is like you're only other option

[cosmic mulch]

i drenched a few them in nail polisher

still spots left all over the mini

and the isopropanol i use for my plastics literlly doesnt do anything

[plush swift]

isopropanol does next to nothing

[cosmic mulch]

yeah i know

i use it to get paint off of the stuff i cant use acetone for

[heady lotus]

What poopnought is evolving?

Poopnought evolved into "white scars contemptor dreadnought"

[short pawn]

Tyvm!

[plush swift]

What did you use for that

[short pawn]

Looks like streaking grime

You didn't ask me but I'm just super smart and knowledgeable

[plush swift]

or oil wash

[heady lotus]

Paint model, varnish model, AK streaking grime, dry with hair dryer about 7 minutes, remove and clean parts with spirit and cotton buds. Dry and then matt varnish.

[mint dove]

Can I use Cassandora to add shadow to my orks yellow armor? Or will it look more like a "coffee stain" type finish because it's a shade paint

The video i watched they used fuegan orange contrast paint to add shadow

But I don't have that

[plush swift]

You cant actually put varnish over that and you are very lucky the streaking grime didnt catch fire, its an oil wash and oil washes require 6-8 months AFTER application to have a varnish go on them, and they have to be a specific type of varnish to do it

VERY LUCKY

[mint dove]

It would be on tip of averland sunset if it mattered

[plush swift]

Streaking grime is insanely flammable

like ive show people how it just being near your PC can cause a fire type flammable

I should make a video where I do that

[mint dove]

"On this week's episode, Corpsestarch burns down his house to prove a point"

[plush swift]

Mother fucker I have done that before

[short pawn]

Define near

[plush swift]

like right next to, but depends on the room, well ventilated also means fans and open windows with exhaust fans

[short pawn]

Oh okay, cool

[plush swift]

xylene, turpentine and something else

iirc

they have been very very private about the additives even though they are required to by law, state what they are

[short pawn]

Wow i know what one of those mean

[plush swift]

xylene is a very noxious chemical that requires workers to have hazmat PPE to be around

but so does acetone

and IPA

IPA is shockingly bad for you

[mint dove]

If I thin a shade can I use it as a glaze?

[short pawn]

Do we have any white scar fans here

[plush swift]

white scars🤓

[obsidian flax]

Necromunda bug

[plush swift]

"What's wrong with you. Why are you...Blue."

[short pawn]

THEY'RE the ONLY cool CHAPTER

[plush swift]

Nah

[short pawn]

What chapter you like huh STINKER???

[upbeat herald]

Can't WAIT. I started painting my new guard models. 80 Infantry. Had to throw out all the old ones 😂

Iron hands for life

[plush swift]

Blood angles

[short pawn]

Ok....fair enough....

[upbeat herald]

Have any guard players here used the inquisitorial acolytes yet?

This gon be a first for me.....

Still can't decide on a scheme. Usually I'm a camo kind of guy but they aren't really a military color kind of unit

[mint dove]

They're cool...but they're no blood angels

[short pawn]

That's what probably makes them cool

Im gonna get beat up in the parking lot arent I

[mint dove]

I hope you weren't to overly attached to one of your kidneys

[toxic rampart]

Acquires your Crusader because I want that model They all look really good.

[short pawn]

NOOOO

[plush swift]

technically its already a glaze like thing

[plush swift]

wrong

[plush swift]

Yes

[mint dove]

Okay, I did a 50/50 mix of shade and medium because it was puddling up too much straight out of the pot

[silver thorn]

is that the medal crusader model?

[plush swift]

White scars are chill

[hollow yoke]

Third figure done

[mint dove]

Progress on Nob #1

Still need to paint the hassle, skulls and then differentiate the metals

Then i can start highlighting

[toxic rampart]

Oooh! Power claw Nob! I like it

I got one just like him! Though yours is a lot cleaner.

[obsidian flax]

Painted my goliath gang leader start to finish about 2 1/2 hours

[shut forge]

Good colors, very distinct

[hollow goblet]

Wait these can't be IG models they actually look cool

[plush swift]

You know he had to file for bankruptcy because he did that

[heady lotus]

Is there like a proper warning thing anywhere? This is something relatively new to me so just looking it up but Google wants to sell me more grime.

[hollow goblet]

If there is anything I have learned from Corpse in my short time here it's that most hobby supply companies should rebrand themselves as assassination services for all they care about product toxicity

[heady lotus]

My other two white scars I just let dry and used a brush applied matt varnish...... me now panic.

[short pawn]

Im trying out a road base for my white scar bikers

[toxic stratus]

White lines, roadkill, tufts and pigment dust 👌

[plush swift]

Use real tar

[short pawn]

I was trying to go for an effect where he slightly swerved off the road and hit a pocket of snow

Perhaps better?

[jaunty trail]

My salvagers arrived today... But before i start 'em i have to finish my Hernkyn Pioneers 😅

[short pawn]

Think I'll just stop messing with it here

I lied i just got rid of it

[compact meadow]

Have you seen the smoke effects EoB did a while back on his white scars? Using I believe cotton wool and setting it solid with spray on glue, some very light airbrushing of whatever the surface colour is and a sprinkle of sand/very small pebble

[short pawn]

I liked Eons of Battle's, but i feel like I can try again later to get the effect i want with this one. Just gotta think

[edgy perch]

Any suggestion for a colourscheme for khorne space marines?

I am thinking white and bronze

[toxic stratus]

RED

[edgy perch]

Red of course

But for like, special unita

Units*

[toxic stratus]

I like old world eater colors, blue white bronze

but I like using blue more and swap out white with gunmetal/silver

[edgy perch]

Hmm aight, ill try that

Thank you

[pastel grotto]

Pleased to announce I am fucked

[compact umbra]

I recommend placing a trophy or armor or something on that gap, the outriders are horrifying molded

[short pawn]

I thought it was just me

I tried literally everything to fix that gap

[compact umbra]

There was a mono pose model that didn’t have that gap but the new ones have that horrible horrible gap

You can also stuff green stuff in it and just flat it out

[short pawn]

You saved me a massive headache

[compact umbra]

[edgy jackal]

I am I the only one for who these photos don't load

?

[midnight cairn]

Nope, giving me trouble, too

[toxic stratus]

discord is dying rn, embed doesn't work

[mint dove]

That's not too bad! Just needs a little bit of touch up

[short pawn]

Why does discord go down the one fucking time i desperately needed feedback i stayed up so late trying to brainstorm

[hollow goblet]

Yeah I can't see most of the pics that have been posted in last 24hrs

[compact umbra]

WHat chapter are you doing?

I could se them but now I can’t

[primal summit]

Updated one of my nurgly bois. Hasn’t quite worked how I had hoped, dosnt glow for long enough after a light bath buuut I like it.

[plush swift]

nurgle is nurgle so it doesnt even matter if you mess up

you can just say "oh well he doesnt have enough juice" as to why hes not glowing enough lol

[mint dove]

What size is the Gw M layer brush?

I need a new size 0 and 1 brush but I don't wanna buy a new brush if I don't have to

[mint dove]

Literally

Nurgle is the king of "oh I fucked up!...wait a minute that looks great"

[plush swift]

if you make a mistake just say “ohhh it’s urrr a blob of flesh!” or something

you can’t go wrong with nurgle unless you dump a can of white paint on a mini lol

[hollow goblet]

ayye I think disc is unfucked now

You really don't appreciate how much good sculpting and scale helps you get good results until you try and paint one of those tiny ass DnD minis that doesn't really have a lot in terms of physical dynamics or depth, its so hard to add any kind of highlights or interest to all of these flat sections and shades barely work bc they don't really have anywhere to recess

This was like 4 straight hours of painting and it looks like ass compared to any GW mini I've spent a quarter of the time on

[pastel grotto]

We called it a draw because the store closed before we could win

[royal compass]

at least you win my heart for being the only person I've seen giving the Lion his helmet

[brisk vapor]

Predator #2

[pastel grotto]

A knight will go to war with all proper equipment and armaments

[pastel grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/so-cute-olaf-frozen-snow-cold-gif-16065908

[brisk vapor]

these do be kinda cute

[spare iron]

I'm in the process of converting a death guard army to resemble the Darktide enemies

[static elk]

If i ever buy him im giving him 40k colors and his helmet

Plot armor or not you wear your fucking helmet

[restive orchid]

Bout to start painting, any tips?

[static elk]

Legion?

Or colors i guess?

[oblique socket]

get a wet pallete.. it makes it look way better

[stray elm]

Primer always primer

[static elk]

I need to get me one of those

I tend to just use a tupperware container with parchment paper

[oblique socket]

.. i mean if it works it works. either way, as has been said by many. you gotta thin those paints

[static elk]

Fr

[pastel grotto]

I have a sudden urge to get 2 dark angels predators and make them canonically huge rivals who keep stealing the others kikls

And they have a chaplain following them around to make sure they don't literally kill the other one

[restive orchid]

I dont have primer

[plush swift]

For the varnish thing? Not exactly, That's something that comes from working in conservation. For the flammable? Yeah it's all over the bottle and on their website.

[plush swift]

Actually that's not true, A lot of primers are actually not real primers they are nothing more than normal acrylic paint, and chemically speaking normal acrylic paint doesn't require primer because it has it already in there that whole paint and primer thing in one? Yeah that's just marketing because polyurethane binders generally speaking don't need primer

[static elk]

Honestly thought your predators were stealing the others kids.....

[short pawn]

Im doing the white scars

This was the image

[static elk]

White scars fall under the same niche as ravenguard do to me. I forget they even exist

[mint merlin]

Me and my ogryn friend, potato-head

[compact umbra]

Nice! Maybe green stuff some fur on the front ot an animal skull or just a whole ass corpse

[short pawn]

Wait thats actually a hilarious idea

[heady lotus]

It defintley says its a irritant and can have side effects on the bottle....... but nothing about being flammable. - for the grime.

The thinner on the other hand is flammable.

[plush swift]

They should have a flammable warning, but this is AK, a company that lies about health and safety then blames the jews for all the wrongs in the world

then makes a gas chamber diorama instructional guide and tells people "make one yourself or get over it snowflake"

when people say "isnt that kind of insensitive?"

then DMCAs anyone who mentions it in a negative light

But either way, its oil based and all the solvents for that are highly flammable and the fumes can cause lung issues, "odorless" spirits being the least bad of them but thats still petroleum distillate

[mint dove]

@plush swift watcha think of the progress on the nob so far? Trying to get cleaner coats and color seperation

Still gotta do some touchups and the hair squig, then differentiate the metals before I highlight but I think it's my beat work so far

[patent bluff]

I like that yellow

[mint dove]

Some of the metal is pretty streaky but that's because I'm gonna layer different colors over them, I just wanted a nice base of leadbelcher

[mint dove]

Thanks! Good old averland sunset

Gonna highlight it with phalanx yellow then highlight the corners with dorn yellow after I draw the badmoon designs

[patent bluff]

Dude those look sick!

[plush swift]

your gf is still better than you

thats who im judging you against btw

[patent bluff]

Should I bid 50 dollars for Mortarion

[mint dove]

That's art majors for ya

[mint dove]

I would. He usually sells for what 90?

[patent bluff]

I see stuff for 150

[mint dove]

145

If you can get him for 50 that's a steal

I'd bid max 90. See how far it goes

[short pawn]

Im thinking of doing a base where a guy is just tearing ass through an ice sheet

[plush swift]

we are superior after all

[sand stratus]

Thanks, I still others to show besides the Ultras

[hoary ermine]

Youve seen sergeants on tactical rocks

Get ready

For tactical dreadrock

[plush swift]

Armless 😢

still looks fucking badass

dual miniguns...

tactical rock...

[blazing copper]

Made my Darktide Character... gonna use him as a shock troop sergeant.

[short pawn]

Good work on the teeth

[dull fable]

fantastic paint job. Might be worth trying to dull the silver barrel with some lightly-applied gunmetal

But it's killer. Well done.

[worthy basalt]

My first plague marines came in

[short pawn]

Does anybody here use Vallejo's mud paint?

[plush swift]

I getting almost negative temps and I have minis that need to be primed

[plush swift]

I might

Do you know if it’s any good

[short pawn]

It's great but i was gonna ask how to make it dry faster

It takes like a full 24 hours to harden

[plush swift]

Heat gun on low

[short pawn]

That only dries the top

The lower layer will still be not good to paint on and will get mixed weirdly from what I've heard

What the fuck is a heat gun

[mint dove]

Buying that halftrack kit and guessing it up, and the cool thing is I can either use it as a trukk or a battlewagon

[plush swift]

I hope someone steals it from you

[mint dove]

How. Dare you

[plush swift]

Blow dryer on roids

[mint dove]

Anyone got a good recommendation for a video on how to actually play the game? I'm excited to get my army finished but the game seems so complicated

[short pawn]

Play ckmbat patrol first

Easiest tutorial ever

[plush swift]

How do you find people to play with

[short pawn]

tabletop simulator or local game store

[mint dove]

The real question

I just need to know like...how the game works

I look at the data cards and I'm lost lol

[toxic rampart]

I'll toss you a link to a play tutorial that I saw recently that has helped me get back into it.

I won't be free for a few hours however.

[mint dove]

No worries. Lol

[jaunty trail]

Done with tin scout sniper.

[devout lake]

Did the newest dataslate come out yet?

[restive orchid]

Rate my first time

Still not finished yet though

[hearty bear]

Looking good!

[glass forum]

Just a small modification

[wind ermine]

Looks great

[compact umbra]

can anyone recomend a custom transfer maker or someone who will 3d print space marine shoudler ;~;

[short pawn]

Esty has a ton of 3d printed space marine shoulders give them a browse

[alpine wyvern]

This is awesome!

[alpine wyvern]

which chapter?

[compact umbra]

Libators

[alpine wyvern]

the what now

[alpine wyvern]

found a "hard transfer" stl https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/libators-space-marine-icon-moulded-hard-transfer

[compact umbra]

<3 they are horrendus i love htem so much

yea i foudn that but i cant use my 3d pritner atm

[compact umbra]

i found 1 3d print but they dont have the assault intercessor shoulders and i cant find a custom transfer that wont do colors besides black and white

[short pawn]

Ahhh gotcha. Damn that sucks sorry

[compact umbra]

well i found one that does blue

but i cant get a clean symbol of the chapter

[short pawn]

Time to freehand

[true inlet]

I know this is 40k

but where can I find the rules for Age of Darkness

I'd love to see how HH works but it is no where to be seen

I guess I need to purchase the liber ~~ books but I'd like to have a quick peek

[mint dove]

Gonna try using 2 different shades on my deff dredd. Using fuegan orange for panels exposed to light and seraphim sepia for any panels that are covered by something else or that are in shade

[mint dove]

What I found that helps is buying a micron pen

They make tips as small as .001mm

Sketch the outline with a pencil (lightly so you don't pull up paint)

Draw over that with the micron pen to get a good outline. Paint

You can always just paint the chalice and then put a decal of the blueberry boys on top

[blazing copper]

Thanks!!

[blazing copper]

Thanks!!

[plush swift]

correct

[clear fulcrum]

If you have a good local game shop, you could ask someone there, they might have one of the libers for you to flip through

[mint dove]

He'll yes I was correct. PUT IT ON THE BOARD!!!

[short pawn]

Did anybody buy the new scout squad?

[tranquil kelp]

Is it out as a standalone box yet?

[short pawn]

Nope, salvation just came out today as well so it'll be a long, long time

[tranquil kelp]

Do the ones in that box come with sniper rifles?

[short pawn]

I hope so

[tranquil kelp]

It doesn't look like it on the store page

seems only one gets a sniper

The rest can choose between bolters or pistol and chainsword

Or shotguns

[mint dove]

Everything on the nob is complete, tike to highlight

[hollow goblet]

Guys I may have come up the single greatest idea of my hobbying careers

You know those pop sockets people put on the back of their phones

Most of them are roughly the same dimensions as a disc of Tzeentch

So you can use a pop socket as your disc and have a modular sorceror who pops down to be on foot and pops up to be on disc and its the exact height you want either way

These things

[hollow goblet]

I just joined a combat patrol tourney with no idea how to play, lost all my games but understood how everything works by the end

[short pawn]

Ah damn that sucks. I wanted them specifically to use them as snipers in 40k :/

[visual turret]

Can’t choose a cape colour

[simple thorn]

Black with gold trim?

White with gold trim?

Back with white diagonal stripes and gold trim?

[toxic stratus]

red

[visual turret]

Previous models I’ve done a black, whiteish and a red but I’m very indecisive

[royal compass]

red with gold trim, to go with the chainsword

[simple thorn]

ooh, das a good one

[sweet stirrup]

Full Kill Team all based and ready to play

[rare hornet]

My go to has usually been dark red with cream inside

[visual turret]

yah i think i settled on red

[summer tinsel]

A couple miniatures of the Ultimate Starter Set ….
„Okay“ painted for my first squad 🫣😂

the two SM with the white bases are Store gifts

[royal compass]

dude, if that's only "okay" for you, I don't know where I stand... my "pile of shame" is the stuff I've actually painted lol

[visual turret]

everyone's got their levels of satisfaction with painting

and sure, that line may move up eventually over time

or for some it remains

for starting out - if you are starting out - they look good! Not much overspill, looks thinned - maybe not enough but to an extent at the very least

[short pawn]

Ruh i fucking missed a mold line

IM SO SAD

[summer tinsel]

„Okay“ is for me
„Battle ready“ 😂

I’m fine with my creation

An example for my first 10 Battle ready termagants

[summer tinsel]

Yepp, my very first miniatures…

[visual turret]

then they look pretty good, all things considered!

[summer tinsel]

Thx

[solar abyss]

Finished my command squad!

[short pawn]

I talked so much shit on how easy space marines are to paint but i am struggling so hard and its painfully ironic

[whole scarab]

Helped my younger sister paint her first marines today

Behold the guards of the great blob

yes I named them that because they have the Mr bloby colour scheme

[ocean pendant]

The Deathwing box is going up for preorder next week, I'd say if GW doesn't find a fix for the Scalper issue before then, there's going to be a lot of angry fans about.

[royal compass]

Throne, I hate the new DW Knights

the old ones were much better

[visual turret]

i think they look cash tbh

[ocean pendant]

New ones look so much better it's not even close

[hearty bear]

What’s wrong with them?

They look great

[royal compass]

shields are too "flat" compared to the old ones

the power maces looked better than those run-of-the-mill swords

[ocean pendant]

They also come with maces

They're just different weapon options

[royal compass]

yeah just saw that lol

still like the old thurible-looking maces better though 😛

obviously the new Knights have much better proportions

and the new Belial is leagues better, but the old one was just terrible

[midnight cairn]

What's the "scalper issue"?

[ocean pendant]

Yesterday End and the Death pt3 released for preorder and it's Limited edition sold out in minutes because of scalpers, they've found a way of using bots to jump to the front of the queue and buy up all the copies while denying anyone else access

[pastel grotto]

Just in time for the new dark angels box

Got a shit ton of angels and not angels

[ocean pendant]

Basically their bots jump the queue while everyone else gets pushed back and the bots buy up all the stock, then by the time the actual customers are let in it's sold out and the scalpers then sell the products on Ebay for massively inflated prices.

Cheers, got it. I'm on a pre-order list at my local store, so I'm really hoping to get one.

[ocean pendant]

Yea I'd assume it's only really an issue on GW's website and it's probably a different matter for WH and 3rd party stores, since they'll get a separate supply.

[jaunty trail]

Scout squad finally fulky repainted... base decoration still to do...

[short pawn]

Painting my very first space marine for my white scar army and jesus christ painting a space marine is so much different and somehow harder than my beloved guardsmen

[visual turret]

Cape work getting better but still bad at the shading aspects

[plush swift]

I got gene stealers should I paint them only using flesh tones

[short pawn]

Why did I decide to do a white scars army who hurt me

I bet it was snail man

[plush swift]

🥺

I’m sowwy

[short pawn]

Why is it so hard

[magic trout]

Just finished my first set of minis ever! Any feedback is appreciated

[plush swift]

White armor sucks

[short pawn]

I also hate edge highlighting so space marines are naturally a well informed decision

[short pawn]

THEY'RE SO HANDSOME!!

[plush swift]

Maybe you should’ve painted blood angles

[short pawn]

Probably

They're my 2nd favorite

[plush swift]

You seen like you like ultra marines

[ocean pendant]

Blood Angels are much easier to paint, red and gold paints are usually much better quality than white hobby paints

[ocean pendant]

They look great

[plush swift]

And red looks cool

[magic trout]

Awww thank you! 🥹

[short pawn]

No i hate ultra marines

I hate this obsession with roman themes in sci-fi

[magic trout]

I'm still trying to figure out the flesh colors, but I think I got a lot of the others down for the most part

[short pawn]

I think so too, and that's fine. Learning one thing at a time so every miniature becomes an improvement in its own regard

[plush swift]

That’s what people who like UM say

[short pawn]

Im going to divide you

[plush swift]

😢

What a ultra marine thing to say

[short pawn]

[ocean pendant]

Divide and conquer? what a Roman themed thing to say

[short pawn]

NOOOOOO I'M BEING FRAMED

[plush swift]

What you get for liking UM

[visual turret]

Can I get some cape critique

[short pawn]

You can try a darker shade then do what you did here, but then do an even brighter highlight on the raised bits if you want more contrast but i think it looks epic

[jaunty trail]

Some cleanup, inscriptions and weathering still missing...

[wintry solstice]

Apothecary white contrast paint for white armor over a light base coat

Like grey seer or wraith bone

wip termies

[wintry solstice]

Flesh tearers?

[agile junco]

just bangles in general

they are a bit darker red i did notice yeah

[short pawn]

I'm gonna layer a brighter white over the grey pieces that are facing the light do you think that'll work?

[wintry solstice]

And the black pauldrons

[wintry solstice]

Mmm maybe a grey mixed with a white to layer and highlight with a bright white

[agile junco]

i didnt want em to just be pure red
i wanted to put some black around some places to make em not as uniform

the helmets are also gonna be black
and the sergeant has 2 black pads so its def looking like flesh tearers lmao

[short pawn]

I'll try that, thank you

[mint dove]

NOB DONE

BOTTOM TEXT

[mint dove]

@short pawn watcha think of me nob

[heady lotus]

My solution is make it look dirty so no one notices my bad white...... and sponges.

I basically follow this method for the main part;

NICE!!!!

Nob #2

@short pawn

I'm finally almost done with the combat patrol

[obsidian flax]

Im honestly thinking about starting orks this year once alot more of my dark angels get painted up

[mint dove]

They're so much fun to paint

[short pawn]

You should try their gums next

Their mouth is just BEGGING for it

I dont like that sentence i used

[obsidian flax]

How do they fair in 10th edition so far?

[mint dove]

They don't have a codex yet so I'm not sure

[short pawn]

Fairly strong IIRC

53% winrate i think?

[rigid ginkgo]

Dreadnought murder mitten and plasma cannon

Work in progress still

[obsidian flax]

They have data cards as of right now so they do have updated rules

[obsidian flax]

Very nice

[short pawn]

All factions are playable/have new rules (if lucky) for 10th

[mint dove]

Are their data cards in the app updated?

[short pawn]

Absolutely

The codex just introduces more mechanics and shit. Like space marines used to have one detachment now they have like 15 and basically chapters dont matter anymore (unless you're the special kids)

All physical items are outdated though (for orks)

[plush swift]

wrong

[jaunty brook]

“My pledge…is eternal service.”

[mint dove]

Do we know when Ufthak Blackhawk is coming out?

[mint dove]

Found the perfect proxy base to make a trukk and a couple dragstas

10 bucks

[toxic rampart]

Nice! Does it fit the measurements? Where did ya pick it up at?

[mint dove]

On ebay. They're 1:32 scale which should fit the measurments

Bought some old ork boyz that I can do surgery on and use as drivers

Also finally finished both nobs@toxic rampart

[toxic rampart]

They look awesome man! And nice finds! I hope they fit proper measurements, or get close.

Remember, sprue bits count towards getting things to the right size!

[jaunty brook]

Guilliman? I haven’t seen this mini before

[trim tundra]

You haven't?

[jaunty brook]

Nope
