I made a bomb
The ATF would like to know your location
Cadia
JC, a bomb!
Work work
Robot bitches
I mean, if you gonna use it in 40k games, yes, it is related.
Guard or Agent, if I may ask?
I have wonderful work ahead of me.
Gonna have to steal that color scheme for myself
Lots of little details like the chains all over, metal crosses and started with the hat as well
The tactical grind starts again
Quick put together before i start work
Got me some triarch praetorians in the other box for after work 
that looks like its gonna be so hard to paint!
Eh, i got steady hands
Imotekh was a bastard to paint tho cuz i was a dummy and didnt do the cape seperate
Doing the obligatory "GW! Give me a plastic trayzn model and my life is yours!" Meme rn
Now ive just realised the staff isnt fully complete.
is that the old mark 3 armour
No, it's the MKVI with a different helmet, it kinda looks like the new MK3 set's helmets but I believe they're some other helmets because they're not quite the same
They look nice though
Didn't he and Orikan both get a plastic model recently?
Imotekh and orikan did iirc
Trayzn still resin
Went and double checked, yeah Trazyn is still resin
I was SO disappointed when they did the Necron refresh and we got no Trazyn, makes no sense unless they've got a campaign planned out where he will be featured and they'll release the mini then
or something within those lines
Highlights and face work to come, but
I think this is the cleanest armour I’ve painted
Mk VI with some third party helmets
any ink or shades on the plan?
He’s shaded, will be highlighting once I’m back from a job interview today
Sorry, since these photos he’s been shaded*
last jackal rider done, genestealer combat patrol got a lot of bikes!
Cool! Notice how a lot of GSC vehicles and wargear are present in Darktide?
The genestealer cults infiltrate hive citys and start converting and splicing the populations dna and create humanoid genestealers, which is why we see them using that gear
So neat the attention to detail
The iconic veteran rebreather is too
Seems I finally unlocked the role. Here's an Inquisitorial Mystic I did a while back
is this paintjob good enough?
I've never painted anything with non single colour yet
lord in heaven that helmet was a tight fit to slot in
i didnt even bother glueing that bad boy
that aint coming out
We really have Nids on 4 wheelers before gta6
this box has been crazy of combat patrol
the hybrids have sprews from 2013, the jackals from 2019, and quadbikes from 2021
(im new to all this so maybe thats just normal)
Actually haven't heard of gw doing that before
each sprew is dated by an imprint on the bits you dont use is the only reason I know
Must be a combined box of units from different years and they sell it as a box to get rid of the old stock
ive heard the older genestealer combat patrol was apparently better value
Or it's just old and new units in one box I'm not to familiar w the gsc
Didn't know they had a new combat box out I remember there old one came w a troop transport I'm pretty sure
This comes with hybrids, jackal bikes a ridge runner jeep and this quadbike
I've not seen the older variant
Ironically zero actual genestealers
the old box had abberants but other than that I think it's pretty even
Been using Vallejo model air aluminum for my metallics. Is there a close GW equivalent? I’m out of Vallejo and I’ve got short notice painting I need to do
this is life sized, I'll cosplay traitor guard with this sword and laspistol, maybe not lore accurate I know
I thought it looked abit strange lol the shadows were playing tricks on me
Finally completed my Kriegsmen HQ
love your wokr on the flags, to replicate the shimmering
(holy hell that visor was hard to fit in, I didnt even glue that in the end, that isnt coming back out)
Stormhost silver I think
My Lord Exultant is officially done!
I can’t wait for people to play full emperors children army’s, that’ll be cool
Faithful be warned, for my Heretics have Arrived to fight against the Soldiers of Yahweh
Wip Striking Scorpions
This man has killed daemon prince on table so Im giving him purity seal
Ya boi is stanced up
I wish that was game legal. I find it a bit stupid that the scion command squad has no actually melee options 🥲
Its funny because I got that purity seal from grey knight box
Powerfist medic powerfist medic
GW wishes they could do scions this dripped out
what do you mean 
is that not a proxy
or a kitbash
holy crap i did not realize that model was so drippy
its even got art
and a joytoy figure
FOR THE EMPEROR!
Moarrrr
Stumpmarines
Got another two to do but I’m happy with this one
I'm using him as an aquilon tempestor for killteam so I'm Gucci there 
Man who looks like his penance should be eternal service
Does anyone know if the 2” movement penalty applies to just vehicle and monsters or if it’s everything that’s on an oblong base, trying to figure out if my exalted flamer takes the movement penalty or not
Does this help
Can Enforcers in Necromunda take Ogryns?... i just think Shield Ogryn enforcers would be cool
Painting my cute little Heretics :>
Bring the big dakkas!
Tempestor of the 71st Phi Tigers is finished
++ Pict-Recorder Reel 42-781 ++ 'Krieg 472nd Siege Regiment' troops, joined by 'Moorzel Boars' plasma gunner, at Manufactorum Amper IX.
Aprox. 12000 souls were martyred in retaking facility, briefly held at the claws of the greenskin menace.
The shading, the power sword incredible
Thank you!!! 🙏 🙏
I love that sword bro, I want to paint like that one day
I’m a beginner lol
I semi-followed a tutorial from Pete The Wargamer
Essentially iirc it's just a matter of first laying down blue, in my case it was temple guard blue in a quasi-checkerboard
Then in the middle of each one you do a bit of thousand sons blue
You cover the sword all over with talassar blue contrast
And then a mix of white and thousand sons for highlights
Also this is all over a basecoat of a darker grey, in my case it was mechanicus standard
That’s sick I’m gonna try it
I really wanna start a scion army
I’m focusing on my age of sigmar
This was my first time also doing this power sword NMM so I was super scared of messing up
But also I remembered that most of the time the models won't be looked at from up close
So it's fine to make small mistakes
Yeah i make so many mistakes with my models
I cover them up with accessories
Or blood
It's described as grimdark in a bottle and I would echo that sentiment
Just make sure to use a brush you don't care for since it WILL permanently stain it
I use an old synthetic citadel layer brush
Will it slowly come off the brush or will it just change the color of the tip?
It'll change the color of the tip
I advise just buying some cheapo synthetic brushes since you will be just applying it super messy anyway
The point of the grime is to get it all over the model and then use white spirit or odorless thinner to wipe away from the raised points and leave it in the recesses
That seems cool
I haven’t reached beyond citadel paint, cause I’m nervous to use any other
I can recommend Vallejo Game Color
Much cheaper, high-quality and also each bottle is 18ml
They are a bit thinner than citadel paints, though
Army painter paints are nice too, the fatigues on the Tempestor was done with camo cloak speedpaint from AP
I’ve heard good things about speedpaint
They're nice if you're lazy (like me) and wanna get a model done semi-quickly
I do procrastinate a lot so I tend to still take a long time with my minis
Real, sometimes I never get a mini done within a few weeks
If you want a point of reference:
I got the Hivestorm box for christmas
I only just finished the tempestor
In total I painted 3 models from the box in the span of 3 months
Damn
Well art takes time
My chaos knight hasn’t been done yet and it’s been 4 months
I got a magnet kit for it and I’m not used to using super glue. Got it all over my hands, and pissed me off to the point where I totally stopped hobby stuff for a month
standard superglue moment haha
get some thick superglue if ur having a hard time with it, thats what i like to use
easier to control
Never painted fire before
Nice fire gradient! I like how yours start with white, compared to many others that start with yellow (even GW)
Funnily enough, I took that from old warhammer paintint tutorial
I had to make my own orange too
Artillery Witch, Death Commando, and Heretic Preist
The gang thus far
Space Elves!
This was fun
Trying out some new paints
Whats the difference between a base paint and a layer paint?
Layer is just thinned down and goes on in multiple coats
For highlighting areas in light with a brighter colour bit and creating a natural gradient
You can achieve the same with bases with the addition of water
Or some glaze medium

3450
Not 40K shhho
thats exciting
I've got all of them STLs but glad more people get access to them now
same
starting a little kitbash project, a custom imperial fist lieutenant
When I have time I want to kitbash some firstborn Primaris scale
Devastator and some tactical marines
The heresy models are perfect for that
Nah their armour is too archaic looking
I have old 2000s marine backpacks and devastators packed away somewhere
MK6 is somewhat common in 40k but fair
I wouldn’t mind some trimless shoulders though
And maybe kitbash the chests with copious green stuff
Want them to look good next to the terminators
Like old school warhammer but upscaled
Sin Eater and Heretic Trooper wip
Oh thats a webber
Paint job so clean I thought it was a 3d model
Half crusader squad done...
I know in almost any other circumstance this would be an unforgivable sin
But I’ve found just lathering my Plague Marines in Agrax Earthshade makes them look grimy and icky
Are they pre-primaris marines?
They count as such yes.
Me immediately melting cus I have 12 Death Guard Plague Marines on my shelf
Are they unpainted?
Theyre mostly plainted
You might be fine then, they shouldn't be vengeful
5/7 of my marines are finished and all my Blightlord Terminators are in various levels of being put together
“Why do you torture this way, mother?”
Blightlords are so awesome
Agreed
I didnt think I’d care for Death Guard but I got some plague marines as a Christmas gift and I ended up really liking them
They's just so fun, especially on the table
I actually havent played Warhammer tabletop yet!
I’m new to the hobby and primarily interested in just collecting and building armies. But I deff wanna try it at some point
My first played Army will either be Death Guard or Cadians
That's fair, nothing wrong with how you do your armies, DG are quite chonky of an army
especially in older editions
what's your first then?
But their playstyle seems rlly fun
Astra Militarum, but specifically I love Cadians
Regular ahh men and women of the Imperium standing against the horrors of the warp and Xenos is just such a vibe and I adore it
Ayy, they was my first army, I remember buying a box of the old cadians and a leman russ so many years ago
Krieg is what I do for them now, just because I love the WW1 look
That’s valid, the Kreig are pretty cool
I love their aesthetic but the Cadians just look so cool to me
Fair, since they got remodelled they look amazing
I know a guy who has like 60+ cadians
Omg the new krieg models are beautiful
I actually sobbed when I saw the price tho
Yeah, I haven't actually done them since I did the first squad
Oh and the random malcador I gave them
When I have the money to start collecting Cadians I’m going to kitbash an all women regiment
They do have female head options I think? so it might not be too hard
just a question of how many do you get per kit?
Thats the problem
There arent alot that come in a kit so Im gonna have to buy a bunch of heads
You get a tonne of heads for them
wow
Without seeing the sprue closely though, no idea how many of them are female heads
You get alot of heads but only a handful are women from my research
You might be able to get away with a few of the heads the rebreathers and bandannas in there
Which is ok obv, it just doesn’t help me achieve my ideal army
because that could be anyone underneath
Exactly
But for some special units or my made up named characters I’d like them to be helmetless
Certain characters like tank commanders also just dont wear full helmets in their models as well iirc
I think the castellan can have any head option that comes for the guard?
the commissar is going to be harder, as their neck joint is a bit trickier
Yeah that would work
Ik for a fighting force as large as the guard it’s completely obscene to imagine them organizing mono-gendered regiments but I don’t think anyone would care if I brought them to play a game
Honeslty, it's probably one of those things where nobody will notice unless you mention it
Exactly
Still sounds like a fun project to do
Im really excited to get my first cadians
I’m gonna model my Commisar after my Darktide character
They did do a named female commissar at one point
Though I think she was resin
And not available for that long
theres about 9-10 of them in cadian shock troops
theres a few helmetless options in the cadian upgrade sprue
Is that ergonomic enough to make an entire 2000 point army?
Or would it be better to get mass 3d printed heads off Etsy or smthn like that
well i mean its enough for each squad
if youre getting whatever you need already to build cadians i don't see why youd want even more heads
aside from getting some extra choice
Might be able to sneak some off any friends who have cadians? I doubt many other people will be going so heavily on female heads?
Thats deff a good idea
Sadly true
However you could try the cadian upgrade sprue. Has some stellar women faces
Thats the highest on my list for ideas to acquire all the heads I’ll need
Upgrade sprue, getting extras off my friends, or commissioning 3d printed ones
The new cadian kits are INSANELY customizable! Good idea
Could also try green stuff sculpting some longer hair too
Long hair is NOT Cadian approved
Maybe if its in a bun or ponytail
I meant more like bangs but yeah those too could be fun
Lots of the women cadian models have subtle bangs with their helmet
Since I can’t afford more sprues for rn I’m just thinking of a name for the regiment and any unique armor colors/ patterns
Cadians my beloved
I cast explode on all kriegheads
I would’ve named them the Cadian Valkyrie Regiment but the names already taken by a vehicle grr
I like Kriegsmen alot, but Kriegheads are somehow more annoying and obnoxious than Space Marine simps
Truly
One can only witness so many "loads bolter" or shovel jokes before they start clawing at their face
This is fire
They also mainly do the stupid shovel joke. Which is irritating to no end.
Need!
Lovely update to the Raverers, solely needed. I do wish it were a Warrior update instead still
shame the servitors are kinda ass xd
but yeah the Tyranid side is peak
Admech servitor team reminds me of the early game in Mechanicus, where you can't buy specialized units yet so you fill your team with servitors along with your 2 techpriests
They look good for kitbashing too
Still working on the Shrine
Trying to find Titus. Is he an in-store only character?
Army idea: Alpha leigon army, expect that you run it as any faction except space marines. So, orks, admech, t'au, just whatever. But it's a alpha leigon army.
Is there a chaos raptors with a ranged weapon that could be Storm Boyz pretenders?
You can find him in the sm2 board game or as a standalone figure instore
I’m one of those 16 WOOOO
RAAAAAVEEEN GUAARD!!!
me 2!
i don't play Raven Guard. I AM RAVEN GUARD
Astra Miliwhat? Youre in the guard, son
Tree air freshener
fellow aquilons builder
terminator :3
That paintwork is super clean
thank you!
Since i can't post in general and forgot earlier but @last arch someone spouting heresy? 🤨
Yes
He finished, barring the base and transfers which will be done once all 5 are finished
What I’m gonna do is put the iron warriors symbol on the right shoulder and a numerical 4 on their left
Im SUPER proud of this blightlord so far, he’s my best mini so far. Any advice for how I can make him even better?
How could I achieve the whitish highlights he has on the official GW paintjob?
That’s the best miniature I’ve ever seen oml
Thank you!!! :3

Very fun kit, for sure
do you think i could proxy a gunlugger in place of a heavy weapons team?
Yeah for sure
I alwyas love how clean and crisp your colours are
Thank you! :3
This wheel was quite the chore to paint all over but now it's in a pretty good shape
I take your word for that, god damn. Impressive result tho
Much appreciated
Can't wait to see the complete model
The flying doohickey
Resin model
for votann ymyr comglomerate color scheme (red armor blue trousers) which would be the best compelemntary? i'm thinking green or purple for the blades and yellow/blue for the chest lamp
If you have any photo editing app or digital art app with a layers function, you can edit a photo of your votann model there to help visualize. There's also impcat app
Almost done
All glued up
What tha dog doin
Is it valid to wanna collect Warhammer minis with very little interest in actually playing the Tabletop?
I think it's weirder to play 10th edition
I'de look at kill teams, or into creating diorama styled projects where you get what you want vs what you need to field a good army
I wanna diorama my minis when I have a bunch of them
And Kill Team has interested me
There are cheaper alternatives where you don't pay GW tax but if you are specifically interested in GW stuff then go for it. It's expensive, but it's far cheaper than alot of other hobbies
I’m primarily interested in Warhammer
I love the aesthetics, and I can’t wait to get some of my fav factions
Yeah that's fair. The way I look at it is I could buy a killteam for around 50 bucks on the secondary market OR I could go to the range once and fire 50~ shots with a 9mm and have spent the same amount of money
One of those is a fun afternoon, the other one will last for years to come
Yes entirely
Before and after a nuln oil wash
Very valid, very common as well
completely, the models are cool so go on. paint you some minis for display reasons.
I generally just enjoy it because it’s artsy, really challenging, and it’s therapeutic for me
My fav thing to do is just paint a few miniatures while listening to lore videos about whatever I’m painting
It is very therapeutic
I enjoy the craft part of it but I also enjoy the socializing that comes with playing the tabletop
I've also played RTS games for ages so I enjoy the game itself
The craft part is great because you can just pop on some music and lose yourself in it for hours
I got them assembled
3/5 terminators done
Thank you! :3
Finally got this thing printed after 46 hours
Didn't like the orangey brown they were, did my best to repaint them
I think the stray blob really brings it all together
Im sorry but their guns are so silly to me
What if we took a boltor….. and taped another boltor to it?
A few of my plague marines have the double boltor
You know what’s better than one bolt gun? Two!!! >:3
twice the bullit, works great
Your blightlords I assume?
Yes
It’s just a terminator thing, they always have them
Yas, the ol’ reliable combi-bolter, for when one just isn’t enough
But you need your other hand open for a melee weapon ofc
I love how much of it’s 90’s shlocky silliness Warhammer has retained and it’s a big reason I love it so much
It’s just plain stupid at times and I appreciate it
The average warhammer player
Kinda got an ass on them though damn
I dub thee, Asmongold
You could do paint that up to be like bakery dough and give him gingerbread armour
I have no idea how I’m gonna paint that w my limited knowledge and resources for painting flesh
Washes and contrasts generally will do most of the heavy lifting
I usually see death guard flesh washed with a purple or darker pink
What ive been doing is a coat of wratibone with Kishev flesh layer ontop of it and than put some agrax earthshade over it
There is a lot of ways you can do about doing it really
Here’s how it turned out on this guy’s backpack o’ heads
Yeah that looks nice. Really dried out
Yeah that’s quite nice
Made my own gold trim
Here’s an old relic of mine from a few years back
That’s so repugnant looking… you nailed it
That mini eggs cup is that old?
You have no idea
This is the cup I use
Ive only been painting since November of last year
You’re doing really well for so little time
its time to edge highlight your cup
Awh tysm!
I used to be really artst as a kid but fell out of it, miniature painting has just been a new way for me to do art stuff
Collecting and painting minis has been a great pastime, though the pile of shame will eventually catch up with you 😅

F-Free shit
I only picked up miniature painting recently myself as well and yeah I very much enjoy it.
Very soothing experience imho
thats that one scene with sa'kan and that apothecary vs a necron clearly 
Funny coincidence
Getting my fantasy army ready
TF2 demoman
Did few more touchups
Very good
He's not black.
So he can't be the TF2 demoman.
Wait, nevermind.
But where is his scrumpy?
He's quite literally black it just dosen't come up well on the picture
He has canteen on his back 😄
If I ever get some bottle bits, Ill add more

Trench crusade got me wanting a 3d printer… INFINITE MINIS!
This is how they trick you into spending money
Rat base is done finally
Quite happy how this piece of rock turned out
little lamb cant catch a break
very nice
Ooooo, Neat-O!
once my dad finishes making his, we will play our first game of kill team together
The last two :3
Awesome
That's so cool your dad's doing that with you tbh
Lhykis, the Whispering Web
Look what I found in discount
Funko 
Who do you think are cool
youre looking for admech? not precisely sure what you mean by AM
Astra mili
then yeah just whatever you think is cool
if you want something small you could play with you could choose from a killteam
you can wait a few days and grab one of these fellas https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/eyae53ow/march-down-to-your-warhammer-store-for-a-death-korps-of-krieg-miniature-and-coin/
Kasrkin kill team my beloved
Good Fricking Luck building an Admech Killteam
Horrendously difficult to get started
oh well i was just thinking they could wait for that new one to come out
though it is mostly servitors
Gamers! Question
Answer
Painting this wonderful lizard and I’m not sure what shade would work best for the scales
don't get what? the question?
of 'which shade paint do you think would work best to match both the pink and the blue scales, if any
Maybe a purple given the mix of red and blue? But it'd have to be super thined out
I am basing this fine chap off of this lizard
Very cool
Painted some eyes today
Maybe a green or purple wash , then some light white dry brush?
I think purple will work nicely
Ping me in the result when complete I'd love to see the after
Somehow when I saw him I thought of an undead Morpheus.
https://cultura.biografieonline.it/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Morpheus-Matrix-illustrazione.jpg
Anchorite Shrine oil washed and weathered! Soon the whole warband will be finished once all of them have had their puddles done
My jaw is on the floor
Thank you kindly!
Not quite done but getting close
Please ignore the unsightly push-fit seam
screamer pink, druchii wash across both it AND the blue, then a calgar blue drybrush on the blue and pink horror drybrush on the pink
then, as a treat, little bit of emperor's children for some actual edge highlighting on the prominent pink bits
you fucker >xd
TY <3
Group photo!
Is that 1 drilled barrel
No, but I say it is because that annoys people more >:3c
In reality it’s basically where I messed up with the cutters
Drill your barrels, man!!!!
Why tho?
I don’t understand why people make such a big deal about drilling barrels
Does it go vroom?
Coming together nicely that light dry brush is really nice at bringing out the detail in tbe scales
saddly no, though i do like electrical engineering, so i could try
As long as it’s capable of killing Heretics!
FOR THE EMPORER
LUV ME EMPRAH!!!!!
Also I think a bronze wash / light rust could really bring out the metals
Make him look like he's been lost to time in the forrests
Never mwahahaha
He heard he doesn’t like siege warfare
Now I need to figure out if I want to go with the blood splatters or not. Think it might look nicer with them but it is very very easy to mess it up with either too little or too much or it looking too much like it's painted on and it might be impossible to fix if it's messed up
would it be possible to varnish then go over it with red watercolor or something ha
Pretty sure you wouldn't be able to get rid of the red fully even then, if at all
oils are a better option for somewhat removable approach but it'll dry pretty matte
chatters, what's the easiest way for me to prime flying units?#
With a rattle can
Idk kinda undivided maybe black legion
Black legion is cool
I did mine world eaters, because Khorne is the god of hell yeah
Well, the singular one I painted, I still have the other 4 to do at some stage
Could say mine are grey legion
The unpainted legion
The POS legion (pile of shame)
Citadel Plasteel Grey
They should make a citadel paint called Plasteel grey, and it’s just a pot of water
its just paint stripper
My favourite beverage
Fellas, can I get F in the chat?
Welcome to the club
Proper pictures tomorrow probably once the puddles settle
Got it done so taking a break or moving onto the next project?
Awesome work as always!
Any recommendations on making sandbags to stick on the front of a tank?
Was gonna use air dry clay
Thanks! This is the full Warband that I've got models for at the moment. I'll probably have a couple alternative loadout options printed but not very soon.
Weren't you gonna be doing an Iron Sultanate Warband or did that fall through thought I read that somewhere
Oh yeah, I'd just count it as a separate project 😄
Don't have the models printed yet though
Well can't wait to see your iron Sultanate warband!
Legitimate Gangster Activities, Bruv
I uh, remeber that I found a Lord Marshall Dreir mini while getting paint
He was never safe when I laid my eyes on him
The "not chaos touched" one be like.
Anyways, where did 500pt lists go?
If I made a Helldivers 1000PT army that uses the same rules as an Astra Militarum army, would people refuse to play w me?
Where can I get trench crusade models?
because I’ve been thinking about trying to get some but idk where to get them
touched up my guys
Depends on the player. I would be totally cool with it, and so would most people.
But it would not be official tournament legal.
I figured that
I would say mist people would just be like "sick army' and play with you
However I assume if they’re on the right sized bases and certain helldivers model have rules the correspond w the codex there wouldn’t be a problem
Yeah, if you just proxy them as guard or scions, it should be fine with most peeps
You 3d print them
This is the store where you buy the STLs
They have yet to move into plastic production.
Oh okay
I’ll check it out and ask my friend to 3d print them
The filthy Xenos be gangster until my army of brainwashed teenagers each with access to enough firepower to sunder a planet pullup
Test bearskin 1 and 2 what do we think?
Ignore the gold flecks I was mixing my own paint (it didn't work) and some got on one of the tools I was using and it only seems to come off when I'm doing this!
Me staring at some alien scream something in its alien language, turn on a nuke backpack, dive at my friend, survive, take drugs, and start shooting a gun that lights her on fire and then die from getting shot by a teammate.
I think the Helldivers are alot scarier than we give them credit for
drop into your backyard from giant bullets shot from orbit
fucks ALL your shit up
each has access to planet sundering firepower
gone in 40 minutes or less
I use greenstuff, epoxy putty, air dry clay, etc.
You all have forced me to invest in a new army long live New Antioch
We varnishing
Cleaning pretty much done
Is 4k (resolution) enough for a resin printer
Yeah
Although it's more about ppi then resolution.
It's more important to make sure it can do anti aliasing
It makes a HUGE difference.
Dude, the double pistols look awesome, i should have done that!
He's a stand-in for this fella
Mister Pistol
My first and probably only blood angel
squad lead for my kasrkin killteam unpainted
his foregrip broke off so i gave him a GL
Oh man that looks lime one, smooth print
Very nice but I advise thinning your paints a tiny bit more
My first Trench Crusade warband has been finished, bunch of only slightly crazed Trench Pilgrims
All the freehand portraits, that is even covered in dirty wood weathering effects, is always amazing to me 🔥
Where exactly does my paint look thick? I know there are a couple spots on the helmets that I need to clean up but I thin my paints plenty already
Mainly the helmet
I had to put an extra coat on because I touched it while the paint was still a bit wet and left a dark fingerprint from the residual paint still on my fingers
Simply amazing. I'd be kinda worried playing with your warband in case they get damaged 😱
I did a couple layers of varnish, mostly because the first two were too glossy to my taste so I did satin first, then a mix of satin and matte, wasn't happy with it either and then just matte. So I kinda only worry about cutting pieces off because the resin is very brittle. The paintjob is well protected though
Colour study part 2: Crimson Fists
I didn't think that a single extra coat of thinned down paint would be noticeable
Custom Vostroyan kitbash.
First time using green stuff but yeah
Thats certainly a look
'slightly crazed trench pilgrims'.. .so just normal trench pilgrims?
quite so
if i get a 3d printer at some point, i think i'll go antioch.. i just think they look really cool
Ooh, tricky. Yellow OSL on top of that cameo.
First attempt at OSL, figured better to try it on a large model than on a guardsman XD
'Notha hwarp spidah
Wowwwwwweeeeeeeee

Much appreciated!
What warband are you painting next from tc?
Iron Sultanate, probably. It will be for a friend of mine, but the next one I'll paint for myself will be the Black Grail most likely
Black Grail are nasty, that's gonna come out awesome I'm sure
I just bought a printer and I'm working on a new Antioch vs black Grail/heretic legion diorama
Nice
Pretty bummed
I haven’t been able to do anything w my minis the past two weeks because I’ve been so busy with work and school
I havent painted in 2 weeks myself too, which is worse since I have a dozen commissions I need to do. So I know your pain
No way, iron sultante is the warband im like insanely interested in
If you paint them its over for me i'll be too inspired and get them
Painted up. Don't like the pants may go with a lighter colour next time.
Try admech grey
Good call
Why akhelian green is blue...?
it's bluish green
Inquisitorial Agent Autosavant
Couple o' Bashes for Kill Team
its teal
Howdy
hell yeah
Some more
ooo, is the barrel going to have some muzzle burn?
The inner barrel, yes. Already did, altho it's not very pronounced
Remember to put a UVL over that because fluo green darkens really badly very quickly
Paint and rust effects!
The beginnings of a veteran squad
Your mini eggs cup is legendary by now.
It shall forever live on
Ooo, what legion?
They will be for my iron warriors
Sick
:3
Just finished up my first heavy weapons squad, wish I had more cause these were so fun to paint up!
My best face yet
Kind of looks like conquest lol
That looks amazing dude
Stand ready for my arrival, heretic.
ATTENTION GUARDSMEN
Still have to fix some issues and spills but pretty happy about em so far
How old are the incubi models?
About 2019
That was the last model before the kill teams?
Also, are incubi plastic or resin?
His shoulder was made in manufactorum 3delta on forgeworld printus
Nice ultramarine
Gooned up aquilon
im wondering if making a guard force themed as "Chapter serfs" would be an interesting army to use.
Heresy colours VS poisonous frog
I've had him at 95% complete for over 2 years, had some hobby mojo over the past few days and now calling him actually done finally, haha
Keep them on the sprue
Tuck them nice and comfy back into the box
It's what they would've wanted
do it the box whispers 

what you think grey?
yea?
Want to slap ball joints and their designer in the back of the head lmao
Ngl am lookin mad foward to getting paint on the necrons tho
haven't painted in a while so i'll warm up with some of the orks i need to paint
Got szeras and orikan on order plus some flayed ones
Once i get those and built. Im on necron paint binge
This is more or less the final scheme for me krieg lads
Still need to do some touchups but yea
Probably gonna do it in this color scheme
Tidy
wait thanks a old one

Broken deff koptas being turned into war bikers
more like war skis
looks cool, yeah was gonna say like snow mobile boyz
I'm going to be finding some wheels and scratch building mounts for them.
Jeez, hope nothing bad happens to that kommando due to all those camo'ed death guard behind him...
why yes...it would be a real
Shame
Ya know... That... Hmmm. That might be a good idea.
Captain Uriel Ventris
landed on a final scheme. squad leader wip
Where’d you get this sculpt? I’ve seen them before but never knew where to find them
look up universal guard makers cult
there’s a really big variety of units
thinking about getting the files for the titanfall mech looking sentinel proxy
theyre paid files though. i think they look sick so i find it worth
Hey guys need help
Anyone have recommended paints for the Moebian Sixth Traitors and Loyalisys too
Do you want the metallics to be metal paints
ye, but as in do you want it to be actual metallic paint or non metallic normal paint for the black carapace for example
But for the loyalist I'd go with Dawnstone for the cloth probably and maybe Russ Grey for the armour
You can also search the most fitting ones by just browsing the site
Googling the paint name will give you some examples what it looks like on a model
For the Traitors I assume?
Yeah
None Metalic Normal Paint
Iron Warriors (the paint) with a Nuln Oil wash might be a good fit if you want the shiny metallic look
Oh then you'll probably want something like Corvus Black
The cloths for them could be done with Steel Legion Drab mixed with some grey or dark grey colour
Mechanicus Standard Grey or Leadbealcher?
Or dryad bark instead of steel legion drab maybe
Leadbelcher is a metallic paint
Mechanics grey is pretty light in tone but if used very sparingly it could be a good fit too
thanks again
no problem
Russ Grey or Thunderhawk blue for thr loyalists chest
thanks
I go do them (yellow ones Lamenters) and this one
Plasma soon™️
There are no accidents
A necron death mark box has the sprues for both 5 immortals and 5 death marks, but only 5 legs
Meaning I'd have to find some legs to build them both
Are there sites that only sell legs?
Which are those 2 stores?
Megabitzshop, bitzstore
Thanks
No gway
40k Inspector Gadget?
Painted something different from 40K but I think I did a good job
purple plas
@brisk vapor Looking at the uniforms again, is the Steel Legion Drab closest color to pic related for the Traitor Mobeians?
it's pretty light but it's pretty close otherwise
thank you
How do i still have another 50 cadians to build.
This is just for a 2k list. I still have more units that just cant fit the list
I'm starting to think it never left at this point
There is always more cadians to paint
Been working on some Trench Crusade terrain for a few days now
maybe a quarter way done of cutting the pieces
Badass
...is it trenches?
very likely
honestly i was kinda hoping you were gonna say no... nothing wrong with trenches, but if it turns out you were building something else it would have just been really funny

Coach left his playbook in plain sight

We out here
In the..
In the Trenches 
WIP on the veteran sergeant
Second leman russ ready for battle
nicely weathered 👌
Thank you!!
Yeah thats nuts you just actually perfectly painted that
thats tuff
How did you weather it?
That’s a certified hell yeah
Thanks!
Tyyy:3
I should panel line and weather my gundam kits
Bro you should it’s hella fun
Didn't expect to see Raven here
Man, the camera picks up things I can't even see with naked eye on the model
Oh well.
Thank you so much!!
I did a mix of burnt umber and black oil wash that was a bit on the thicker side so it would leave more of the paint after it dried then a dry brush of lead belcher and random sponging of leadbelcher and a brown after that all around. I think what I did before the weathering really helped as well though. I did a stipple of slightly thinned Tamiya putty for a bit of texture and then for the colors did a dark, lighter and lightest stipple of green and tan over a black prime. Wish I taken an in progress picture to show how it looked at that stage
Finished a Salamander Infernus sergeant for a friend
Thanks! It looks better irl haha
They always do
Hobby burnout isn’t real you just haven’t found the right $10 Pathfinder action figure to convert into a Tzeentch wardog
Not the neatest conversion ever but I’ve realized I’ll literally never get anything done if I try to get everything perfect constantly
It’s not as if I actually end up achieving the perfection
That's a 10$ figure??! Man gw must be making like 300% profit on there minis
It’s been kitbashed with a lot of Tzeentch parts (Tzaangor shields, weapons from lord of change/magnus kit, some chains and eyes etc) but the base figure is pretty solid and fully poseable which is nice bc I want to pose it to look like it’s stomping on a space marine
I like the eyes you've added on if I'm seeing correctly
Very tzeentch like
Yeah glass cat/dragon eyes are super cheap and one of the best generic Tzeentch bits I’ve ever found
I use them for horrors too bc I hate the chewed bubblegum look the regular ones have
I'd like to see the finished product when done please I love kitbashing
Kind of looks like a titan
He sorta is actually lol
Apex Legends is in the titanfall universe so the chassis is probably deliberately similar
“Protocol 3. Protect the Pilot”
Beast of Nurgle <3
Tis giving me flashbacks
My attempt at a Howling Griffon
Pathfinder is small, hes more like a custom MRVN
Yeah ik I was talking more about the shape language of the body
The action figure is almost the exact same size as a wardog tho which is nice
Working on it!
Closer to 30,000%
it's krumping time
Veteran sergeant
My GOAT
I still dream of the day that Fatahark gives us proper hotshot lasguns. Not volley guns, though I wouldn't say no to those, but actual Schola-issue hellguns.
A hotshot volley gun would be nice, no way a horde of crushers would live against a full auto ceramite muncher like that
working on posing models for the diorama
Fucking love the detial
Very normal looking guardsman.
That’s private Gobbinz. He’s the darling of the commissar. So fervently does he serve da emprah
Kommandos! Yes!
Szeras wip
Any suggestions for how I should paint the bio gloop, mainly wondering if I wanna base it white to make it pop a bit more
ye, paint it white, then go in with green fluoro glaze and damp dry brush where the glow would hit on the model
go extra, pick out the edges with a dry dry brush of white on the edges of things on the model, and fluoro that
Need some spare 28.5mm bases. Any recommendations on where to go outside of GW
Well you could always try Alibaba, or any bits sellers you can find
when using fluos dont forget to use a UVL varnish because fluos have a LF rating of 5 which means they fade or darken within a week when exposed to UV light. Documentation can be provided for those who want more information on this
find a 3d printer and get some printed out.

Good luck painting!
TC azeb
AZEB!
There is still MORE guardsmen to paint
