Spacex bullshit

Shame it came from a war criminal

It was a bunch of satellites

[plush swift]

Lame but sick

[sick ledge]

shame its also from someone who fails to register his satellites and their positioning and has almost caused global catastrophic damage to the international space station and GPS

[short pawn]

But that shit was cool tho!!

[sick ledge]

yes it is

[short pawn]

I walked outside and a nurse was like "oh shit a rocket" and i was like what the fuck are you talking about

It was in fact a rocket

Not sure why I shared this here in the miniatures channel but it was very cool!!

[sick ledge]

because its cool

and we dont exactly paint that often here it seems

[plush swift]

Looks like a ufo

[short pawn]

It was a multi launch too so it shot out a bunch of little ones but i didn't record it

Defo some alien sci fi bullshit going on

[plush swift]

Definitely laser satellites

Gonna hold the world hostage with them

[sick ledge]

elon space lasers

[short pawn]

So basically I just witnessed the horus heresy rn?

[sick ledge]

Yes

[plush swift]

Yep

And you did nothing about it smh

[short pawn]

I should have used heroic intervention...fuck

[plush swift]

Yep

Throw rocks at it or something

[sick ledge]

make it a looted rocket

[plush swift]

Should I get another lemen Russ

[short pawn]

YES

I'm rocking 3 rogal dorns 2 leman russes a duoblade and a valkyrie

But i want MORE LEMAN

[sick ledge]

No

[plush swift]

True

You need at least 20 to be lore accurate

[short pawn]

YESSSS

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE GUARD CODEX

New tank pleaseeeee

Only my assembled guardsmen...i got so....so much more

God i wish i could bring myself to sell all this shit

[sick ledge]

NOT THE HORUS HERESY

NOT ME

[vale breach]

How do we feel about Knight's noticed a stigma with them online?

(Ik this is online but as its not a 40k focus group it tends to be less unhinged)

[lavish hearth]

they're okay

if you play them they're fun, if you play against them

its kind of a stat check?

like

[vale breach]

"Did you bring enough anti tank"

[lavish hearth]

"did i bring enough anti-tank? no? guess i just throw 60 conscripts into the meat grinder until i get enough 6's"

like i play a mostly infantry melee army

[vale breach]

Well I'm mainly running them to ally with my Daemons, but if I enjoy them enough I plan to go full knights

[lavish hearth]

yeah

id suggest just pick up a pox of wardogs or a desecrator

and run it ally with other chaos

vice versa for imperium

as a stand alone faction they're just okay to play

[vale breach]

Yeah got 3 war dogs coming, all going for full gunners to cover up my mono. Khonre biggest weak sixe

Weakness

[lavish hearth]

at least it aint slaanesh

[vale breach]

I'm proud of the fact that I have 0 slaneesh models

[lavish hearth]

they're khorne but MORE melee

[vale breach]

Eeeeh

They don't hit as hard but they get in faster

[lavish hearth]

slaanesh mono armies have 0 ranged kits

[vale breach]

That's my experience of proxing them

[lavish hearth]

theyre much more fun in AoS

but this aint the server for that

[vale breach]

That's half the reason I play daemons

40k and AoS are fair game

[lavish hearth]

yeah thats fair

[vale breach]

It's like having 2 armies in one

[lavish hearth]

i have an AOS army but

i have 4 40K armies sat at 1K points and ab 3K of my main army

[vale breach]

At 4k points of daemons

But I only like 2k of them

[lavish hearth]

2k of khorne?

[vale breach]

Nah

I have some khorne models I'm not proud of

[lavish hearth]

oh you mean paintjob?

[vale breach]

I have a horrendously painted daemon prince, blood crusher and skull cannon

Yeeah

[lavish hearth]

99% isopropyl alcohol

hope that helps!

[vale breach]

Don't tempt me

[lavish hearth]

my space marines have been through 3 chapters

[vale breach]

Which ones

Never been a fan of space marines

To much trim

[lavish hearth]

started ultramarines when i first started, went to black templars, went to dark angels

then when i got into the lore proper i settled on blood angels

[vale breach]

Dark Angels was my first army

Back in 7th

[lavish hearth]

i started in 9th

[vale breach]

Then Tau, now I've realised I'm just a chaos player haha

[lavish hearth]

i have my fair share of chaos

1K of tsons
1K of Dguard
vashtorr

[vale breach]

The main thing I have realised is, I just like big shit

and big numbers

[lavish hearth]

hordes?

[vale breach]

Nah as in big dice amount's

I am very simple

I used to like hoarde's but now you can't run blood letters in squads of 20

which suck's

[vale breach]

I am very tempted to bring 60 blood letter's to my next game

[lavish hearth]

do it

i got 30 assault intercessors

[vale breach]

Fuck it we ball,

Blood Thirster, Blood Master, Rendmaster, Skull taker, 60 Blood letters, 5 Dog's and 6 Nurgling's

[lavish hearth]

6 nurglings just for funsies>?

[vale breach]

Nurgling's are auto includ's

[lavish hearth]

they good in 10th?

[vale breach]

Just a bit

Infiltrate deepstriker's for 40 point's, with a -1 to hit aura which goes through building's

[lavish hearth]

guh

picking them up for my DG ig

[vale breach]

and decent'ly sized bases for line of sight blocking/move blocking

Yeah you should

They are really strong objective monkey's

[lavish hearth]

yeah

elite based armies realy need objective monkeys

[vale breach]

Your essentialy paying 40 point's for a free deploy TP or investigate signal's etc

[lavish hearth]

yeah

gonna have to pick up 1 box and hack them up into 9 nurgling units

[vale breach]

Easy enough to do

You get a bunch of single nurgling's you could easily get 6 out of one box

not sure about 9 tho

[lavish hearth]

its like

scarab swarms

you can do it if you realyt try

[vale breach]

Tru

It'll look a little odd tho hahah

(they also make really cool obj marker's when your not running them)

Very much a

"Protect the children" mission type

[lavish hearth]

the babies!!!

[vale breach]

yeeee

[lavish hearth]

im on a fast of buying 40k until next month

bought too much before the price increase

[vale breach]

a fun army I like running is just cute stuff as well in small point's game's

IE Beast's of Nurgle, Flesh hounds and Nurgling's

[lavish hearth]

thats awesome

i aspire to do that

[vale breach]

it's not effective but fun

[brisk vapor]

Golden replacements

[dawn stream]

Nice paint scheme

Has a very clandestine look that fits the Ghostkeel quite well

[midnight locust]

Thanks! It’s some night ops FSE I’ve been working on

[lavish hearth]

Started working on penal guard

Allied into a gsc force

[sick ledge]

you cant replace golden, how could you.

[brisk vapor]

It is the replacement

[sick ledge]

it is the improvement not the replacement

I will fight you on this be screaming incoherent nonsense

[compact umbra]

oh wronmg chat

[plain violet]

Is that Malum Caedo!?

[peak flicker]

White Scars Chaplain wip

[visual turret]

I fixed the mistake I made

[patent sandal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwI80Bv9BGk

This is insanely impressive modelling. This guy normally works on historically accurate tank models and elevates them through lots of custom work.

Dipped his toes into 40k modelling and the results are just superb.

[visual turret]

first-ever 40k model and it's GD-worthy

but yeah it's super impressive work

[proven arch]

i should really post some picture here

this is a model i have

it isn’t painted yet

[urban drum]

I've got a plan

[naive spruce]

ARE YOU GONNA MAKE A WITHER?!?!?1

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-bloody-stream-minecraft-wither-ender-dragon-gif-20395603

anyway i need to paint my orks

[teal nest]

Malum kideo

[visual turret]

Caedo

[proven arch]

doesn’t caedo have white shoulder pauldrons?

[midnight locust]

Any suggestions on a paint equivalent to Rustoleum pure white? I don’t wanna get a quart of paint for what I actually need it for

[brisk vapor]

Got bored at looking at the empty eyes so I painted them in

[alpine wyvern]

this is absolutely gorgeous, amazing work so far

[brisk vapor]

appreciate it!

[short pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/m%26m's-мем-gif-6086715070526052744

i love the old man goblin asthetic so much

[brisk vapor]

it is very cool isn't it

[sick ledge]

minor correction, he doesnt actually do historically accurate. He tries but he keeps adding things that werent on the historical references for the cool factor

He uses AK which are 15-40% off the delta for the correct colors as well.
Its still tend to be bronze tier work most of the time

[naive spruce]

that is pretty fucking cool

[sick ledge]

The eyes are so far the best part.
How finished is the skin?

[brisk vapor]

Thanks!

[brisk vapor]

Cheers, well not finished

trying to figure out what to do with it

[sick ledge]

oh good. I have high expectations from you and got worried

[brisk vapor]

will probably do some blushing on the nose and cheeks

[sick ledge]

I probably shouldnt

but like you know

its typically good enough for reference images and has its own style to it

[brisk vapor]

appreciate it

although it's the first time someone has referred to my painting to be of it's own(mine) style which I kinda don't yet see, even though I can recognize almost any of the more popular painters' style a mile away, at least of those that are more commonly seen on social media etc

[visual turret]

Yes, which is why right below that mention I fixed them ✨

[proven arch]

ah

[sick ledge]

Most of the popular painters all devolve into a very derivative style to where its more nuanced in difference.
Like your skin tones are more lush and realistic while theirs are more cartoonish and unrealistic.
Your colors are more saturated with shadows that are tamer but still dark and rich and highlights that are less harsh and gawdy but read as direct light and more realistic, it also doesnt give me this weird 2d vibe that the more popular ones like Jose Davinci, Elminitureista,, Angel G(i cant spell the reast), etc do which I really dont like because its a 3d model and not a 2d canvas

I prefer a more photo realistic style which is rare in this hobby

[brisk vapor]

Thank you kindly, I do prefer a more natural or realistic look in most things I paint so I can kinda see how it affects my style

Richard Grey and Andy Wardle are probably my greatest inspirations and they tend to gravitate towards a more realistic look albeit not always

and the painters from the Spanish region all have a very similar style which I am not the greatest fan of either

[sick ledge]

both of them have gravitated to the current overly processed highlights and shadows in a 2d method but they also pioneered that whole thing

I legit call this style Richard Grey because its all just derivatives of his work in reality

I dont like his style but i do have a lot of respect for his work because of how influential its been

[teal nest]

Felt kinda bored made some minis

[sterile grail]

first one is great, last one is proportionally cursed

[teal nest]

The first one I made out of a land speeder and the last one was chaos space marine, guardsman, and deathwing

[dawn stream]

I vaguely remember it being mentioned here that Automotive primer is good for miniatures as well and I'd just like to get a reconfirmation on that before I buy a can of auto primer

[sullen creek]

Coming along

[oblique socket]

to the guard people in here... are there rules for Other Ogryns? (particularly gunluggers or those melee specialist ogryns i forget the names of)

[dense saffron]

Hey is this guilliman?

And is this word bearer?

I found display minifigure from vietnam inside plaza

[short pawn]

The ogryn kit comes with like 6 options i believe

Bullgryn with choice of grenade gauntlet or power maul with a slab shield or buckler shield

Or a ripper gun ogryn, or a Nork De Dogg ogryn

[hollow goblet]

How many Ogryn can you fit in a list?

I'm ngl the only interest I have in guard is Ogryn

And chem dogs but they're not allowed to exist like every other non cadian regiment

[short pawn]

Well there are basically 4 different classes of ogryn in your lists and they are all other So I believe 5 max per squad, you can have about 34 ogryns max?

its 6 max including leader

okay so 40 total. that's 3 ogryn ripper gun squads - 3 bullgryn squads - one nork de dog - and 3 ogryn bodyguards for a total of 1.1K points

[white tangle]

I had no clue our vets actually wear a rebreather that you can get on minis. I thought fatshark just made it up for the game.

[brisk vapor]

Very few pieces are actually made up just for this game

The people at FS have done their homework for sure

[urban drum]

I tried looking for zealot clothes and couldn't find squat

[brisk vapor]

as in the clothes in the game and you couldn't find any from minis or official artworks? Because there are plenty

granted zealot probably has the most unique items

[white tangle]

Not exact, but for ages, i had no clue this kill team existed. I plan to use it for my future diorama.

And then you have that one mini that comes in the darktide box. Dk where esle it comes from tho

[brisk vapor]

that kit is great, it has plenty of additional options too

[brisk vapor]

It was originally a Blackstone Fortress character model

I presume you meant this one

[white tangle]

Yeah

[short pawn]

Eavy metal paintstyle sends me into hysterics someone bull tranquilize me before I lose it

Paintjob on armor actually looks really cool though

[white tangle]

is this just like a thing that is commonly disliked? I like most of their paint jobs as to me they look super well done most of the time. Sometimes, like on the blacksotone fortess one, some parts look a bit off. Like the skin/face. I think that looks a bit strange.

[short pawn]

No I'm just not normal

The main reason i dislike them is because it created a stupid standard of "edge highlighting" and basically gaslit a community into thinking that's the only way to paint

Personally I also just don't like how generic it is. It's painted great obviously but its only painted to sell a product, which yknow. Won't look as cool as a passion project that used battle damage, scenery, and story telling

[white tangle]

I feel like i fell into this. Id like to think that i can do a decent edge highlight but to this day, still have a hard time cracking the code behind things like blending. And i dont even like doing the edge highlights lol.

[open stream]

I get that, a once friend of mine just couldn't keep his damn mouth shut whenever any of us painted something.
"Oh, but if you wanna go pro..."
"But to do like the pros..."
"Now if you wanna do even better..."
Actively got himself hated by pretty much everyone, just because the man lacked a personality and just couldn't get it in their head that you didn't HAVE to paint like the famous internet stranger tells you to.

[brisk vapor]

tbf learning edge highlighting sets you up to do more challenging stuff very well, it's key to learning brush control

[white tangle]

Yeah, thats one thing that id like to think it did. At least id like to think i have decent brush control.

[urban drum]

when i say zealot clothes i just mean this outfit https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1255105393164816494/1255105572072849469/image.png?ex=667d3d27&is=667beba7&hm=b3d834eb5522fac8ae475aa4065026693018701ada3aaa59ca15c1b5db190960&

[open stream]

That's very fair, personally it's not a problem with the technique itself, it's the usual community taking one tutorial as law.

[open stream]

You're not gonna find a perfect match, but check necromunda House Cawdor guys, the Zealot basic clothes are noticeably based on that look.

[brisk vapor]

That's fair too but thankfully people taking tutorials and boxart examples as law are pretty rare in the end

[open stream]

Thankfully so, yeah. At most it just takes a bit to find decent groups on social media.

[urban drum]

ah right those guys. Im probably just going to have to do a ton of greenstuff sculpting though anyway

[brisk vapor]

There's also this guy from the same kit mentinoed above

[urban drum]

i specifically want to make the darktide cover art outfits so that doesnt really work

[brisk vapor]

and I'm fairly certain I've seen those shoulder and neck pieces somewhere too

[urban drum]

im thinking working off cadian legs and something for chest

[brisk vapor]

he is pretty close too

[urban drum]

anything dress shaped is a no go

and it needs to be able to hold a thunder hammer

[short pawn]

Yeah i just also genuinely don't like edge highlighting as a style

I really like rough scratchy highlighting for battle damage or sometimes black can really do with a highlight but sometimes its just too much

[short pawn]

The classic "make sure you edge highlight and it'll be done"

Like no bro that's not a step thats a different thing to do

Its like someone telling you "dont forget to water your dog!" And you dont own a fucking pet

[white tangle]

Thats kinda what im slowly transferring into. Doing edge highlights and then making a bunch of battle damage with scratches and chips.

Also for zealots, i was thinking about these guys as well. Especially the torso from the top right guy. With a bunch of kit bashing, i think it would make for a pretty good zealot.

god, i cant type for shit lo

exactly

[urban drum]

like im probably just going to have to yoink some cadian legs, take the arms and chest off this traitor and go from there cutting away at the bugger

probably see how i can end up with something like this (the boots i can wear are wrong because the true ones are unobtainable)

theyre supposed to look like these

which is already pretty close to cadian booties

[compact umbra]

Who the fuck is that???

I’ve never seen that model

[brisk vapor]

it comes with the Sister banner bearer

[compact umbra]

Oh neat

Skin improvements

[white tangle]

Out of curiosity, is most of that done with stipple glazes?

Also obviously, looks insane

[brisk vapor]

not strictly stippling but small dashes and lines like stippling

some stippling too

[sick ledge]

The term stipple glaze annoys me heavily since a glaze and stippling are two very different brush techniques and that they just mean is stippling with transparent paint

It makes my art degree scream in pain

[white tangle]

Idk, i just heard man on internet say those words so now i parrot

[sick ledge]

I can still scream internally...

I wish people would leaarn correct terms but get why they wouldnt know some terms like velatura

[proven arch]

looks sick

[devout wind]

Ty ty, many more to come !

[marble sorrel]

Kinda an odd time to reply but I saw this. Maybe house crawder in the necromunda sets would fill the need your looking for?

[silver thorn]

I got old cadian legs ( can get them cheap on ebay)

[urban drum]

oh, yeah they were recommended a little bit up #40k-minis-and-armies message

i still think just kitbashing some blooded chest and cadian legs and then just greenstuff sculpting the hell out of it will be my best bet

[marble sorrel]

coul also look to the new cities of sigmar stuff see if anything catches your eye in there since they are p melee based

[urban drum]

i think theres too much trim, metal, flared bits and square fabric pattern for any of them to be of use to me as well

[marble sorrel]

greenstuff works absolute wonders tbh

like having th hand wraps just cut some thin lines of green stuff and wrap them around the wrists

could save a lot of headache

same with the flared boots the zelot wares

[urban drum]

the boots are no issue really

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1255105393164816494/1255105572072849469/image.png?ex=667e8ea7&is=667d3d27&hm=1891d3042f612c1835141d73b845ee5446c219ae7ccd94c1f38310ed235c93c9&

like i wrote before, i would just need those and cut of the kneepads

and im done

sand down the leather edge a bit too probably

greenstuff a little loin and we're there

[marble sorrel]

i see what your sayin

[urban drum]

a 1:1 for the chest simply doesnt exist

i need to green it

cawdors collars while neat, arent what im looking for

i need to build a hoodie first

and then the big leather bib

collar wont let me do that

[marble sorrel]

what about the ashe waste nomads?

these guys

[urban drum]

i dont see what id be able to use there

[marble sorrel]

honestly im spit balling stuff rn

[urban drum]

look its all fine, i think ive got a pretty good plan for the rest

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/735941248036241489/1255524200857206814/image.png?ex=667e1a47&is=667cc8c7&hm=d9a60ef1b483840331bbdff1655a0b6c81ee7a52b1c7c1ce7bf838c4c825b744&

yoink chest and arms, bandages go around the wrists

cut off the shoulderpads

cut off the mace head, thunder hammer head goes on

start greening and thats about it

[marble sorrel]

if you want a plastic loin cloth thatll match the model decently there some stuff out of the old space marine sets that would work

[urban drum]

id rather not have to go around sourcing old space marine loins

[marble sorrel]

lmao

[urban drum]

a greenstuff loin should be fine enough

[marble sorrel]

take your models to the next level just use real cloth from a ripped up shirt

[urban drum]

[marble sorrel]

What I used in my IG army personally is I have like squads of zealots that are just regular guardsmen but they just look different

I used some cawder or whatever they are called and threw some guard stuff in there painted and called it a day tbh

Tbh I kinda despise the new Cadian models because they are so uniquely posed it makes it hard to do custom things with them vs the old ones. Yeah the old ones were super generic but at the same time I could do more with generic looking guys that were super pose-able vs the new ones that are kinda all frozen in the same pose with each kit

Anyway I’m ranting lemme know how it goes tho I am interested in what you come out with

[urban drum]

Well I've got other plans too

Guess

[marble sorrel]

Mauler?

[urban drum]

yup

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1249705733021499403/1249705978266390611/image.png?ex=667eb063&is=667d5ee3&hm=d3825552c751eff3d32c82bbcae48efa8c2bccdb552699351429f9a8c57f049c&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=562&height=656

theres like, no good looking 2h chainaxe anywhere

and that thing i have isnt even called a chainaxe

its a choppa

[marble sorrel]

Even in the khorne berzerker models?

[urban drum]

too much curve and trim

[marble sorrel]

I swear I’ve seen one that would work perfectly

[urban drum]

well if you can find it then gucci

[marble sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-walk-funny-endlesummers-gif-21292154

me on my way to go to hell and back to find a specific model part for a total stranger i dont know

lmao

[urban drum]

like, a world eater jakhal might have a good enough chainaxe head

but the bits availability on them seems to be very scarce

[marble sorrel]

heres some i found that could work with some to very little alteration

the sprew one is from the chaos chosen pack

[urban drum]

hm, maybe, we'll just have to see

[marble sorrel]

im like fixated on it bc i swear i have one

ima have to go through my parts bin

if i find one ill let you know where its from but otherwise those would be the best options to keep em chaos themed

which space marine faction tastes the best?

[compact umbra]

In what way

[sick ledge]

flavor wise

[calm tundra]

Definetly the blueberries

[plain granite]

8bound!

[compact umbra]

I imagine space wolves taste like white Gatorade

[sick ledge]

thats the type of answer I was looking for. You never fail when it comes to these questions

[compact umbra]

Thanks uwu

DA are probably black coffee

Raven guard are 100% black cherry

Ultramarines are diet cola

Imperial first are regular cola

Iron hands are a health hazard

Uh

Imma be real I am tired and forgot the rest of the loyalists

[brisk vapor]

Ultramarines are Dr. Pepper

you either love it or hate it

[silver thorn]

i like both...

thousand sons are.... well it has to be said

[silver thorn]

not something hot??

they are juggalos?

[silver thorn]

no, but they are huge wierdos

👍

[sick ledge]

ahh, just like sisters of battle fans

Sisters of battle are the juggalos of the 40k universe, gene stealer cults are the twitter warhammer fans of the warhammer universe

[silver thorn]

I feel like if anyones is juggalos it would be genestealers

they are all about the family

are you down with the star gods?

magnets, how they fuck do they work?

Time to make a start on the last of the intercessors

[ember turtle]

I'm very late to this but there are boots like those ingame, these are on the psykers legs

[sick ledge]

ngl the red base coat really helps sell it

[brisk vapor]

The skin? Quite glad of the base tone choise as well, was a bit iffy at first

[oblique socket]

imagine a game of warhammer with models made of chocolate.. then whenever you kill a model you get to eat it

[tribal coral]

when the game goes on too long on a hot day and they all melt

[oblique socket]

with frequent breaks and a fridge, you could manage

[sick ledge]

brown and red are always good for greens and flesh tones as a whole

[sick ledge]

make them out of pickled hot dogs then

[tribal coral]

i could NOT be trusted with glizzies imma be real 🤤

[oblique socket]

why pickled ones specifically?

[sick ledge]

Losers shouldnt be giving enjoyment

[sick ledge]

i dont know what a glizzie is but im assuming its zoomer talk

[tribal coral]

bro does not know the glizzy lore 😭 🙏

[sick ledge]

No. Im not a zoomer and im just a washingtonian, not the awful west coast kind either

[urban drum]

My meaning was that the pant boot combo in the screenshot isn't 1:1 since you can't obtain the specific legs cosmetic the characters wear in class creation

Not that the boots didn't exist

They do, they're on one pair of pants from penance rewards for the zealot

[upbeat carbon]

Wait I JUST realised.
With the Enfrocer Drip out nowadays, I really can create a miniature replica of the getup I use in Darktide If I So Desire…

ponders whether it is worth the time, effort and money

[silver thorn]

pretty easy

just buy a palatine enforcers kit

xD

I guess its not worth it if you just want one

[rare hornet]

Oooh, what chapter?

I’m going to make the assumption of white scars, based of your pfp, but feel free to tell me otherwise

A little bit more progress on the marines,

[wary sonnet]

I ran out of silver when doing this one.

[slate pond]

is this for Inq28? love the model!!

[plush swift]

No I actually play Agents of the Imperium as my main for 40k and he is my newest inquisitor.

[slate pond]

excellent, he's awesome!

very John Blanche

[plush swift]

thank you. it was a simple conversion too

[white tangle]

I just dropped a wip mini, fucked it up, tried to strip the bits i fucked up, rushed it and fucked up another part. Its not as bad as it sounds but damn. I wouldn't wish this mental anguish on my worst enemies.

[sterile grail]

happened to me, i preached stoicism afterwards

[white tangle]

Yeah, i mean i guess i learned my lesson. Literally felt like i was close to having a panic attack and i havnt had one in years. The worst part is that im still yet to fix it. Scared that ill fuck it up even more. Its going to leave some texture in a prominent place no matter what i do tho. Oh well, we move.

ooh, what chapter are you going for?

[obsidian shell]

Guys stop buying GW minis

infact stop playing any 40k games all together

THIS is all you need

there is only quar

[sick ledge]

QUAR

Mishmash or the other dude?

[obsidian shell]

actually found it through wargames atlantic when I was looking for good praetorian guard heads

but yeah I watched mishmash's video

also watched tom and ben look at it, although they just had a look

[dawn stream]

Dude looks like he can smell my soul

[sick ledge]

naw he's just a farmer who got drafted into a war by power hungry rich people

[dawn stream]

And he also has a comically large nose

[sick ledge]

and hands too

[dawn stream]

Big hands, big feet, big...nose

[sick ledge]

you know what they say about those

[dawn stream]

Guys with those have big hearts?

[sick ledge]

no

they have good balance

[dawn stream]

Right

Weights and counter weights

[sick ledge]

yes

they are perfect

[glossy hawk]

ive seen a lot about quar lately, they look fun but i think im just going to limit myself to turnip28 in terms of alternative wargames

unless either one blows up in popularity im probably never going to be able to play a game with anyone since i live in bumfuck nowhere nevada

but the minis are fun to paint

[sick ledge]

use quar for turnip28

[glossy hawk]

no thanks, i prefer narrative type stuff so proxying them just wouldn't work for me

[scarlet urchin]

Proxies for anchilary support, they're by Lost Heresy Miniatures, awesome guy

He's released new combine too

Going to*

Probably today

[urban drum]

pick up that can

[scarlet urchin]

Whose are those btw?

[obsidian shell]

combine look great for traitor guardsmen proxies

remind me of vraksian militia

[urban drum]

emang's

[white tangle]

You know these guys? Do the ones with the face shields still have a helmet underneath? Not in lore but the actual model.

Also, can you still see it through the slit or is the slit just painted painted black to give the illusion?

[brisk vapor]

there's no helmet below on the closed ones and the slit is seethrough albeit it is so dark inside you wont see anything there

at least I think they were seethrough, didn't build mine with them

[sudden notch]

Need to add shades now

[sick ledge]

https://justpaint.org/golden-acrylics-and-sta-wet-palettes/ @brisk vapor golden publically said it finally

[brisk vapor]

[vale breach]

One mech pretty much made

Magnets are enraging

😢

[teal nest]

Combine kill team

[obsidian shell]

ah yes the failed early primaris replacements for assault squads

reminds me of the failed early primaris terminator replacements

god they look fucking ugly

(i am aware gravis suits are still around, but they're more just an inbetween for MK X and terminator now)

[rare hornet]

I've always loved my gravis marines

the chonky bois

[obsidian shell]

absolute units

I am an in awe at the size of those lads

[brisk vapor]

what do you mean failed, they're great. But not Terminator replacements nor never were

[rare hornet]

I've liked the idea that gravis was supposed to be a cheaper alternative to terminator armour which while it's not as strong as terminator armour, it's much easier to produce and means forgeworlds are able to meet the great demand for assault armour

Because terminator armour is very difficult to make

[sick ledge]

it really does change the palette in a better way. The difference is super noticeable with workability time

[visual turret]

I gotta get these guys

[visual turret]

these guys

love how they look

[obsidian shell]

they were when primaris first dropped

[brisk vapor]

well no really, termies were still around and they were hardier

[obsidian shell]

first born are still around too but primaris is still replacing them

[rare hornet]

Terminator armour is few and far between narratively, each chapter may have less than 100 suits, whereas gravis is much more accessible at the cost of not being quite as durable

[dawn stream]

Lorewise, yes. Tabletop, Gravis Marines have Toughness 6 while Terminators are Toughness 5. However, Terminator armor is save 2 with an invulnerable of 4

Gravis is save 3 with no invulnerable

[rare hornet]

exactly, Gravis is tougher but terminator armour is still overall stronger

[brisk vapor]

yeah they have a lot more staying power compared to aggressors

your gravis infantry is basic heavy infantry and terminators are elite heavy infantry

[rare hornet]

Exactly, gravis is basically heavy assault armour, without needing to get the marine trained to pilot a centurion suit

[silver thorn]

I hated Agressors till I used them in Deathwatch

[short pawn]

This was a crazy take

[silver thorn]

Not that crazy, I think the firstborn line was better aesthetically and design wise than the primaris

feels like a lot of primaris design is like, MAKE IT BIGGER MORE EXCITING MOUNTAIN DEWWWW RADICAL

trying to one up the existing marine stuff

for $$$ obviously

not saying I hate everything primaris, but the overall spirit of it feels worse to me than stuff like this

[short pawn]

No the crazy take is that they were made to replace terminators

[silver thorn]

OH, yea maybe I dont play space marines :>

[rare hornet]

I quite like the primaris models, but everyone has their own preferences

[silver thorn]

Theres good and bad from both lines xD

[short pawn]

Primaris models are just better looking but I think people mainly hate the reason primaris exists and the methods to push it

[brisk vapor]

And calling Inceptors failed is just as wild as well, some of the better units in the codex with a badass design

[short pawn]

I heart gravis

[rare hornet]

Inceptors have won me a good few number of games

[short pawn]

Excited for space marine 2 to let us use Gravis

[brisk vapor]

Plasma Inceptors are very very good currently, used to run the bolter variant mostly in earlier editions

[silver thorn]

why do they call them intercessors and not just Primaris Marine Squad or something

[brisk vapor]

Because everything has to have a distinct name

[rare hornet]

I’m currently running double plasmas in 9th and one of the biggest advantages they have is the unit has a rather small footprint for the firepower

[brisk vapor]

Some of them land better than others

[short pawn]

I think its a biblical thing

[brisk vapor]

Yeah being able to drop a very potent anti elite/vehicle to enemy's backline is very powerful indeed

Some times you can pick out a character or two if screened poorly

[short pawn]

Intercessor bibically means to pray on somebody's behalf which fits space marines imo

[rare hornet]

We run rules that allow primaris to use landraiders and drop pods, hellblasters in a drop pod is pure beauty

[silver thorn]

I'm just feeling blessed that boltguns actually feel strong in Bringers of the Flame

[brisk vapor]

Didn't landraiders allow them now anyways

[silver thorn]

Strength 5 is a HUGE upgrade

Im shooting Boyz and Lychguard off the battlefield like it's nothing

[short pawn]

Whats that?

[silver thorn]

New Sisters detachment

[rare hornet]

Yeah, but me and the people I play with play 9th still, we’ve done some home ruling

[short pawn]

Ah okay sick

[brisk vapor]

Right

[silver thorn]

All Weapons have Assault and increase the strength by 1 if in 12"

[short pawn]

That's fucking crazy

[silver thorn]

Sorry, all RANGED weapons

[rare hornet]

Another one being making all landraiders T9 to match chaos and predators T8

[short pawn]

God i hope astra militarum gets some cool shit

Assault is so fun

[silver thorn]

It also bumps meltas from strenght 9 to strength 10

which hits a lot more vehicles

[obsidian shell]

when the primaris line first came out it 100% felt like they were terminator replacements

I believe they were, maybe I'm wrong, but I still feel like they were

Although GW made a good call on upscaling the old termies

these boys look great

a replacement for the old models that actually outshine them

@short pawn you want to hear an even crazier take though?

the old cadian shock troop models are better than the new ones

[short pawn]

I think it's got merit

By specifically overall quality and fidelity its definitely the new ones but the old ones were way more warhammery imo

[short pawn]

I could see it if it were just specifically for tabletop

[obsidian shell]

yeah just for tabletop

[obsidian shell]

Quality and detail new ones take the cake but as a guard player they just don't feel like the guard

the dynamic posing, all the new bits and pieces

they feel like modern army soldiers more than ww1 style grunts

[short pawn]

I went guard mode just a little bit after the cadia stands box but i still agree the old ones were just more fun

Also the new ones have way too many hanging bits

Like so many details for no reason

[obsidian shell]

god yeah

only reason i'd use them is to make praetorian guards

because the webbing looks super similar to the 1888 british uniform webbing

[short pawn]

These are my favorite guard infantry models

[obsidian shell]

1880 not 1888

[obsidian shell]

those look great

hold on i'll post my army

[short pawn]

Oh not mine

I dont have any old ones anymore 😦

[obsidian shell]

yeah it's annoying

I keep trying to see if any stores have the genestealer cults brood brothers box

since they just use the old cadian sprues, so I can use those bits to fix up the second hand ones

[short pawn]

Oh that's sick i didnt know there was an older brood brothers

[obsidian shell]

yeah but they're impossible to find now

think GW stopped producing them along with the old cadians a while ago

[silver thorn]

I like the cleaner higher fidelity new models, the scale is better at the size they are

I just dont understand the need to clowncar everything. im down with silly stuff (I play battle sisters) but some of the primaris stuff feels goofy AND feels like its missing the point

I have REALLY mixed feelings about this model, I both love it and hate it

It looks really good and I feel is a much better descendent of the old marines, but also if we can have humans pilot dreadnaught frames it just feels....

[obsidian shell]

baby carrier's little brother

they did the dreadnoughts dirty

[silver thorn]

like its so fucking metal and grimderp that the space marines walkers are half dead corpses of their heroes

[obsidian shell]

big issue i have with primaris is that a lot of it is just too generic sci fi

[short pawn]

I'm usually very anti grimderp but i feel like the dreadnoughts fit perfectly in line with the universe without being unnecessary

[obsidian shell]

the repulsor, phobos, the nerf gun guys and the dreadnoughts

[silver thorn]

I feel like they nail the sweet spot

[short pawn]

The dreadnoughts are revered space marines that they just dont want to let go

[obsidian shell]

yeah I agree

boxnaughts....my beloved

rest in pee 😔

[silver thorn]

I feel like the new 'naughts do a pretty good job inheriting the spirit

same deal, just "higher res"

[short pawn]

Have you guys seen the new Stormcasts? They're just amazing and i wish Primaris did it as they did

[obsidian shell]

yeah they're not terrible

EXCEPT FOR THE FUCKING STUBBERS

GET THEM OUT OF SPACE MARINE SHIT

THEY HAVE BOLTERS

[short pawn]

Yeah literally I don't see why space marines be using stubbers

[obsidian shell]

THEY'RE NOT HIVE GANGERS OR PDF TRASH

if i get a space marine kit with a stubber i'm snipping that bullshit off

[short pawn]

I don't really like them on a dreadnought either because like how the fuck do they aim and shoot it is it automated?

Do they reload it?

[obsidian shell]

automated?

sounds like abominable intelligence to me

[short pawn]

Like the gun arms make sense because they're probably autoloaded to me

[obsidian shell]

doesn't even have a fucking servo skull aim bot

[short pawn]

I am now realizing how fucked up it would be to be put into this suit

You just wouldn't have arms anymore

[obsidian shell]

stumpy

i still prefer the dreadnought where it looks like an actual casket

[short pawn]

I agree

The dreadnoughts now look like sci fi mech suits and not caskets of doom

They're too tall as well imo

[obsidian shell]

mother fuckers put a sarcophagus in a mech

that shits based as fuck

[short pawn]

I preferred the short legged dreadnoughts that had a 360 spin angle

[silver thorn]

brutalis does a better job

[short pawn]

Do Primaris dreadnoughts even spin anymore

Like any of them

[silver thorn]

I cant imagine they do considering the chest plate extends well below the hip joints

but they can actually walk good unlike boxnaughts

[obsidian shell]

motherfuckers don't even spin 😤

[short pawn]

All this evolution and these mfs can't even pivot

[obsidian shell]

also

another primaris thing

[short pawn]

I know whats coming

[obsidian shell]

each squad does 1 thing

[short pawn]

I was wrong i didnt know

[obsidian shell]

no more tactical squad where you got your sergeant, your plasmagunner and the guy with a missile launcher then 7 other dudes with bolters

[short pawn]

I thought you were going to talk about this model

[obsidian shell]

you got a bolter squad, a plasma squad, melta squad etc

[short pawn]

I love it so much becshse it's so stupid

[short pawn]

My friend would have some angry words about squads with too many different guns

[obsidian shell]

i mean for space marines it makes sense

[short pawn]

I was irritating him with my guard army because I'd roll like 6 different guns and be like "hang on man im using my hunter killer missile next"

[obsidian shell]

1 squad is meant to be able to take on entire enemy companies

[short pawn]

Yeah it's def way better but he would still hate me

[obsidian shell]

oh don't get me wrong

for guard you're still a cringe ass nae nae baby

[short pawn]

I have a full guard army and like 500 points of white scars

He'd be tearing up

TANKS ARE COOL

[obsidian shell]

tanks are based

I want to get a chimera

got a leman russ already

I want a full squad

3 leman russes

maybe a rogal dorn for an infantry support tank

chimera for my command squad or my kasrkin

also

old kasrkin > new kasrkin

it's just the helmets

[short pawn]

The new kasrkin are my favorite models of all time so i gotta disagree

[obsidian shell]

like i said it's just the helmets

i reaaallly hate the new guard helmets

and the regular guardsmen with their knee pads

I want to get this guy so bad

kasrkin with plasmagun

they did a great job on the sternguard btw

[short pawn]

You are not wrong then those helmets are fire

Stubby kasrkin are adorable

[obsidian shell]

my beloved

[worldly pawn]

I wished guardsmen in general including their traitor counterparts had more bulky helmets

[lost tangle]

Username checks out!

[true path]

One of my Warhammer objectives is to collect all four Archaons. I have two of them so far. This one and the anniversary edition. Now I want to get the aos one and the really old one on horse.

[urban drum]

kasrkin with stubber

[brisk vapor]

Marine squads having a single purpose with one or two weapon options for all is infinitely better for game health compared to having whatever weapons from q list of 20, so I'm all for it

And by game health I mean balancing, speed of play and clarity of rules

[short pawn]

Chat can we hit this guy with hammers?

[rare hornet]

Let’s be honest a 20 long list of weapons is mostly irrelevant as everyone just take the definitively best options anyways

At least from what I tend to see

[brisk vapor]

pretty much but they'll still trickle in the expensive good option to the squads which will elongate the shooting phase a lot

[rare hornet]

Which makes crusade great fun when everyone has basically made a competitive list they call fluff driven and then there’s me who’s brought a malcador into 9th 🥴

And then having to fight a toughness 9 hive tyrant in a 25PL (because crusade used PL rather than points for some dumb reason) with space marines

[proven mountain]

Not sure if you consider this a mini... But here you go

[scarlet urchin]

Woah! 3d printed?

[scarlet urchin]

I'd love to see the file you used, phenemonal job!

[scarlet urchin]

They can just paint it

[obsidian shell]

yeah ik dw

[proven mountain]

Yep. Not ripper from the game, re-modelled myself

[proven mountain]

I'll post it later, after finishing

[proven mountain]

Same, once i've sprayed the thing i realized it's more yellowish than green.

[obsidian shell]

depends on the variant

the las-guns all use a similar sort of colour system

green blue brown

nvm laspitol only has green and brown

[proven mountain]

Yeah. MkX looks more tan than green

[obsidian shell]

mhm

feels like it'd be more at home with steel legion or tallarn dessert raiders

while the mk II is better for cadians and catachan

[proven mountain]

Considering my other creation, cadian makes sense

[obsidian shell]

Are you able to take off the magazine or pull the trigger?

[proven mountain]

No, i could model that, but for my purposes (hang on the wall) it was unnecessary

[urban drum]

[short cradle]

don't know if you built it or asked one of your friends to build it. But you got yourself an astartes bolter with cadian sigils and writings! Interesting...

[teal nest]

Bolb gun

[proven mountain]

I know, i know. I got lazy with re-modelling militarum bolter and took STL's from online. Same for IV details

[short cradle]

It's fine. the only way you can make this lore friendly, is saying one astartes who fought on cadian and survived, made friends with the cadians and decided to pay them honour by colouring his bolter cadian green and writing it on ''Cadia Stands!''.

I was just asking in the same time as trying to make sure you knew to. Nothing much else 😄

[golden night]

looks close enough for me

guardsmen do wield bolters sometimes

like my castellan has one because it's cool af

[scarlet urchin]

The boltgun is decent in kill team, well at least at the hands of Veteran Guardsmen

Only the Confidant can carry it

[white tangle]

Has anyone ever had any trouble with karak stone? Im finding it having the same effect as some of GWs pale colours/ whites. Its like when i base coat it, its fine but if for example i make a small mistake, covering it up becomes a nightmare. This is mainly when it comes to smaller areas, it leaves behind this strange effect that resembles the same thing as when you layer a paint over another and the undercoat is still visible. But instead, this effect shows up after the mistake is covered up and constant paint application appears to change nothing. When i try to glaze it on, it looks a lot smoother but the colour itself is darker.

I have an image

Here, this spot (only the fold on the middle of the image) on a space marines tabard was where a small mistake was. I tried to put karak stone over it, (the base coat) to try and redo the area but this was the result with like an hour of just placing layers upon layers.

This small section, in theory should be uniform, but no matter what i did, this strange effect just kept happening. So i gave up and just did zandri dust. Literally fixed it in like 3 layers.

I also had this exact issue in the past with one of their whites.

Idk. maybe its as simple as me not shaking the pot enough as i cant find anything about this online.

[urban drum]

Like the edges of whatever you paint are just darker?

[sick ledge]

the glaze thing is the effect of mixed pigment paints.

Opaque pigments cant glaze, they can only do velatura.
Transparent pigments glaze. So sometimes you'll have some paints have a drastic color shift when they try due to things like atomic weight of the pigment , grind size, and tint strengths.

basically to thin it you need to use professional flow improver to reduce surface tension

[patent wren]

My night lords

[sick ledge]

@white tangle https://justpaint.org/pigment-density/ fairly basic article with videos showing some pigment density stuff

[silver thorn]

ive never painted a model thats all furry like this

its got so many tiny cracks so I was trying to get my paint really runny and blot it into the deep recceses and then pull the excess paint down the model

[visual turret]

I love muzzle burn

[white tangle]

Is there any professional flow improvers you would recommend?

[sick ledge]

windsor and newton. Its cheap and reliable

and doesnt require you to mix it yourself

[sick ledge]

this I do not agree with at all. Pink makes orange not yellow

it doesnt read as yellow and yellow does not darken to red it darkens to green

hence why for shading you put it over violet

[white tangle]

Sry to keep spamming but i dont have a clue about this stuff. I watched a few vids but still not 100%. When using something like a flow improver, is it a complete replacement for water when using something like a GW paint or would i use it similar to something like a medium?

[sick ledge]

medium is an extender not a thinner. So yes flow improver can replace water in a lot of cases

[white tangle]

Would it work fine on a wet palette?

[sick ledge]

Yes

that flow improver also will work super well for metallics too

I use flow improver for brush painting and not airbrushing

[white tangle]

Oh, nice! thank you!

[rare hornet]

Gone back over the red and done some other colours

[brisk vapor]

Metallic parts got some attention today

[mint merlin]

oh, I thought you would leave them red

kinda looked nice in contrast to the blue and white of the scales

still looks awesome

[brisk vapor]

cheers, I did think doing them darker and still might tune it down but a red one didn't really feel right

did think about it

especially for this larger one being all stylized like a squig almost

[rare hornet]

Nice bit of progress for the day

[old socket]

Just realized I'd never shared my Darktide Veteran themed Kasrkin Kill Team here.

[rare hornet]

Yes, you are absolutely correct

[summer shale]

I am by no means an expert or good, but I'd say I did a decent job at this! 💪

I feel proud

[brisk vapor]

hell yeah

[summer shale]

I gave it a shade, so that should make it pop more, at least I think so xD

[rare hornet]

You really notice that shade on the shield

[urban drum]

is it just the camera or does that look a bit grainy

[peak flicker]

Honestly I have no idea. I did have to strip my first prime coat from the other pieces. This piece seemed to be the most smoothly primed

[summer shale]

Couldn't sleep, so I finished this sentinel, which I've been struggling with for over a year now.

[compact umbra]

did someone metion the coolest arm y in warhamemr?

[rare hornet]

Base all done and varnished

[sick ledge]

you just reminded me, I got something in recently that can actually change the way people do TMM painting if my theory is correct. Its a specialized security pigment thats also used on stealth aircraft as it absorbs IR.

I'm going to be testing it with a specialized metalized glass microsphere pigment. Wish me luck

if it works out I think TMM might become the new "high skill" thing because the effect is wild

[brisk vapor]

Good luck indeed 🫡

I presume the pigment and finish isn't too coarse?

[sick ledge]

about 2-20 microns in size for the glass

but it keeps its luster unlike alumina and mica

its just way more expensive

its a little more costly than zenexo too

its like $300-350 a kg

I can get it down to 10 microns easily too and that shouldnt affect it much

[urban drum]

oh is this fellow magnetized

[rare hornet]

He isn't there is nothing to magnetise, the ancestor's Wrath model can only have the mass hammer

I'm just working in sub assemblies

[urban drum]

ah

[viral sapphire]

I really need to get myself some traitor guard models

[urban drum]

go ahead and get some then

[prime crown]

little fucked up guys

[urban drum]

very cinematic

[final plaza]

Space hulk models spotted

Interest peaked

[midnight cairn]

cough piqued cough

[rare hornet]

Hammer arms needs a few more touches before it’s complete, but just got to wait for the glue to dry

[proven arch]

and that is?

[compact umbra]

Genestealers cults?

[wary sonnet]

Every day my possessed go unpainted due to lack of silver pains me.

[proven arch]

i have different personal preferences but yet again i know nothing about genestealer cults

[compact umbra]

Mutant half alien Rebel cult rising against the tyranny of the false emperor

[proven arch]

well i know what they are i just don’t know the extent of their lore

[plain granite]

Last 3 of 9 8bound. Glad to be done painting teeth for a bit.

[dawn stream]

Genestealers are icky bug people who've betrayed their race

[tardy summit]

Current model I am working on.

[tardy summit]

Another one I’m working on. I play a lot of killteams so had to get these.

[short pawn]

What chapter should I do?

[hollow goblet]

@short pawn Yo you collect gitz right?

Wanted check how big the dankhold Troggoth is, was hoping to use it as a chaos ogryn proxy for a blooded team but I have a feeling it's gonna be wayy too big

[short pawn]

not at all

[hollow goblet]

Ripp I've forgetton who the gitz player was rip

[short pawn]

im guardsmen and killteam guy

[hollow goblet]

Wait Jerk is it you? I know someone here collects them we bonded over it

[brisk vapor]

might've been

I do have quite a few but only one unit painted

and yeah the Dankhold Troggoth is quite large

I've only got the dankhold troggboss though

[hollow goblet]

Yeah it's looking like it might not be the play chaos Ogryn is only on a 40mm

I expected it to be bigger for some reason

[brisk vapor]

it's on a 65mm base

[short pawn]

is anybody a 30k lore nerd here

[brisk vapor]

I might be a bit

[short pawn]

do you know if the blood angels ever rocked mohawks

i feel like thats just not a blood angel thing

[brisk vapor]

uhh

maybe?

hairstyles aren't that well described for any given legion

and during the heresy marines were more individualistic than in 40k so I'd believe any could have one

[short pawn]

oh i mean like

helmets

sprru

sorry

[brisk vapor]

oh as in helmet crests

[short pawn]

yeah sorry lmfao

[brisk vapor]

for high ranking legionaries it could be pretty common for any legion I think

but you'd definitely see more on legions like World Eaters and Ultramarines

[short pawn]

oh shit i didnt even consider world eater

100% im paitning my guy s that

world eaters werent initially traitors right?

[brisk vapor]

well no legions were but they were pretty quick to turn around

[short pawn]

oh yeah its world eater wednesday

[rare hornet]

Mohawks were most common in space wolves

[plain violet]

Necron warrior spotted

[brisk vapor]

Achually 🤓
It's a Necron Warden

[plain violet]

Oh wait fuck, yeah it is

Oopsie

The weapon should've given it away, but I saw the little brass tassels

[hollow goblet]

Yeah wayy too big for that lol. Maybe a Nurgle daemon prince down the track instead

[brisk vapor]

yeah that would be a more fitting model for sure

[magic mountain]

That's manly af. Kudos to you brother.

Crimson fists are amazing

If you were going to layer a gradient from top to bottom, onto this shape, how would you place your brushstrokes? Going downwards or across?

Im still a bit new to this and im under the assumption that if i was to layer using downwards strokes and then altrenate to strokes across when glazing the layers, that would create texture?

[sick ledge]

however I feel like doing it tbh

there really isnt a wrong or correct way just a way thats correct for you

[final plaza]

Current wip

[rare hornet]

Shield hand done

[wild monolith]

Indeed they are. My thanks for your praise.

[short pawn]

Can somebody link me a video or be down to teach me gradients?

I got plans tonight but im so incompetent

I wanna do a dark to.light blue on his mohawk

Namely im not sure how to go about doing it

Like ive seen some people do the gradient on their pallete and shit

[dawn stream]

Phobos Lieutenant

[rustic pebble]

no, not really

crests like that weren't super common in the blood angels as they had mostly catholic old school inspiration

[short pawn]

Yeah i figured i wish i didnt glue it on

But mr jerkomatic has reminded me that pre heresy world eaters r fucking AWESOME

So ima do that

[faint lantern]

Jokes aside, I really do like the color schemes of your paintjob

However, you should try to remove/ thin your paints a bit more

As those visible terrain-like features on the shoulder pauldron would suggest

[faint lantern]

Wait, these guys are white scars

Apologies. I'm still a 40k newcomer

[peak flicker]

White is always a pain that's why I'll hide the clumping with glazes or weathering to make it less noticeable

[short pawn]

I had a really interesting experiment with Kantor Blue as I'm constantly struggling with it and for some reason it works better if I DONT thin it? The mohawk is unthinned on a wet pallete and the shoulder pad is thinned on the same pallete

Im assuming that I'm possibly overthinning so im adding too many layers?

I'm starting to wonder if I've just been using brushes wrong this entire time. Instead of dragging away a clump of the paint and thinning it down like I've been doing - I just grabbed little bits from the main pool with a moist brush.

Am i just crazy?

[peak flicker]

Watch "Brushstroke Painting" on Youtube for his "thinning your paints" video

[short pawn]

I've seen it before i think im just dumb

Also just imo the "looks like milk" way to see if its done is just nonsensical

Forgot if the vid went over that but i hear that advice constantly and it just doesnt mean anything

[sick ledge]

ehh I would skip it. He made it over complicated while also getting most of the science wrong for it. But at least he tried more than others.

He forgot several key factors within rheology wrong that invalidated the entire video and will cause damage to the film

But he tried which is vastly better than what most people do

[sick ledge]

It is nonsensical honestly. People claim there are no ratios when there are.

1:1 ratio. dont over fill the wet palette. if there is water over the sponge youre doing it wrong as that will cause too much moisture to sink into the paint

going past 1:1 will cause issues with adherence on the film due to water being a solvent and it breaking the carboxylate links causing polymer deterioration in most paints

some paints can be 100:1 but you dont find those in this hobby

Most art paints really cap out at 5:1

[edgy jackal]

is that water:paint or paint:water?

[sick ledge]

water to paint

[short pawn]

Yeah i just genuinely don't get it

Even when its very wet paint it'll still dry thick

I never had this problem before

[sick ledge]

whats the paint smell like? dues it have a slight sulfur smell?
