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

last jackal rider done, genestealer combat patrol got a lot of bikes!

quartz rain
#

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

is this paintjob good enough?

I think it works well

I had a old metal Lucius

i didnt even bother glueing that bad boy

plush swift
#

We really have Nids on 4 wheelers before gta6

worthy hare
#

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)

plush swift
#

Actually haven't heard of gw doing that before

worthy hare
#

each sprew is dated by an imprint on the bits you dont use is the only reason I know

plush swift
#

Must be a combined box of units from different years and they sell it as a box to get rid of the old stock

worthy hare
#

ive heard the older genestealer combat patrol was apparently better value

plush swift
#

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

worthy hare
#

This comes with hybrids, jackal bikes a ridge runner jeep and this quadbike

#

I've not seen the older variant

#

Ironically zero actual genestealers

plush swift
#

the old box had abberants but other than that I think it's pretty even

The shading, the power sword incredible

steady wren
plush swift
# steady wren

I love that sword bro, I want to paint like that one day

#

I’m a beginner lol

steady wren
#

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

plush swift
#

That’s sick I’m gonna try it

#

I really wanna start a scion army

#

I’m focusing on my age of sigmar

steady wren
#

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

plush swift
#

Yeah i make so many mistakes with my models

#

I cover them up with accessories

#

Or blood

steady wren
#

When in doubt, use streaking grime

#

Just varnish first

plush swift
#

Haven’t used that yet

#

Is it good?

steady wren
#

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

plush swift
#

Will it slowly come off the brush or will it just change the color of the tip?

steady wren
#

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

plush swift
#

That seems cool

#

I haven’t reached beyond citadel paint, cause I’m nervous to use any other

steady wren
#

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

plush swift
#

I’ve heard good things about speedpaint

steady wren
#

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

plush swift
#

Real, sometimes I never get a mini done within a few weeks

steady wren
#

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

plush swift
#

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

slate pond
#

standard superglue moment haha

#

get some thick superglue if ur having a hard time with it, thats what i like to use

Whats the difference between a base paint and a layer paint?

wild hazel
#

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

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

rare hornet
#

They's just so fun, especially on the table

midnight oasis
#

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

rare hornet
#

That's fair, nothing wrong with how you do your armies, DG are quite chonky of an army

#

especially in older editions

midnight oasis
#

Death Guard are probs my third favorite army

#

No, fourth

rare hornet
#

what's your first then?

midnight oasis
#

But their playstyle seems rlly fun

#

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

rare hornet

Krieg is what I do for them now, just because I love the WW1 look

midnight oasis
#

That’s valid, the Kreig are pretty cool

#

I love their aesthetic but the Cadians just look so cool to me

rare hornet
#

Fair, since they got remodelled they look amazing

#

I know a guy who has like 60+ cadians

midnight oasis
#

Omg the new krieg models are beautiful

#

I actually sobbed when I saw the price tho

rare hornet
#

Yeah, I haven't actually done them since I did the first squad

#

Oh and the random malcador I gave them

midnight oasis
rare hornet
#

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?

midnight oasis
#

Thats the problem

#

There arent alot that come in a kit so Im gonna have to buy a bunch of heads

rare hornet
#

You get a tonne of heads for them

#

wow

#

Without seeing the sprue closely though, no idea how many of them are female heads

midnight oasis
#

You get alot of heads but only a handful are women from my research

rare hornet
#

You might be able to get away with a few of the heads the rebreathers and bandannas in there

midnight oasis
#

Which is ok obv, it just doesn’t help me achieve my ideal army

rare hornet
midnight oasis
#

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

rare hornet
#

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

midnight oasis
#

Yeahh

#

My idea is to kitbash my commissar a scarf or something

rare hornet
#

Yeah that would work

midnight oasis
#

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

rare hornet
#

Honeslty, it's probably one of those things where nobody will notice unless you mention it

midnight oasis
#

Exactly

rare hornet
#

Still sounds like a fun project to do

midnight oasis
#

Im really excited to get my first cadians

#

I’m gonna model my Commisar after my Darktide character

rare hornet
#

They did do a named female commissar at one point

#

Though I think she was resin

#

And not available for that long

urban drum
#

theres a few helmetless options in the cadian upgrade sprue

midnight oasis
#

Or would it be better to get mass 3d printed heads off Etsy or smthn like that

urban drum
#

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

rare hornet
midnight oasis
#

Thats deff a good idea

#

Could also try green stuff sculpting some longer hair too

midnight oasis
#

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

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

midnight oasis
#

I wanna diorama my minis when I have a bunch of them

#

And Kill Team has interested me

tiny cairn
#

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

midnight oasis
#

I’m primarily interested in Warhammer

#

I love the aesthetics, and I can’t wait to get some of my fav factions

tiny cairn
#

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

Painting this wonderful lizard and I’m not sure what shade would work best for the scales

I don't get it anyway

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 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

Do you want the metallics to be metal paints

deep fjord

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

@brisk vapor thanks pal

brisk vapor
#

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

thanks

#

The cloths for them could be done with Steel Legion Drab mixed with some grey or dark grey colour

deep fjord

Or dryad bark instead of steel legion drab maybe

Mechanics grey is pretty light in tone but if used very sparingly it could be a good fit too

# edgy jackal How did you weather it?

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
