I really struggle w finding paints
This is absolutely amazing btw this is my fav Cadian paintjob I’ve seen
Thank you! Its pretty easy to paint while also very effective and unique. Dark grey and army green. I called this regiment Scythian Gromtroopers
May I suggest a Task Force 27 scheme as a complete hail-mary?
Oooh I see, my bad
I think a Caliban Green would be good for the armor and Steel Legion Drab for the cloth if you wanted to use Citadel paints
I usually use that green for grenades cuz I have Genestealers and Nuns with Guns
Ok, tysm! Do you have any recommendations for their skin
What brand are you trying to use? I already assume my suggestions wont be wanted
I dont use hobby paint
I use citadel cus im rlly new to the hobby
Can't go wrong with Cadian Fleshtone
a 1:1 mixture of rhinox hide, trollslayer orange and add white to taste. It will look better than any premix
I know Citadel is overpriced but since I’m strapped for cash a one time expensive purchase I know for a fact will be good is alot easier for me than buying and testing a whole bunch of different brands and paints
I don’t own any of those colors except white 😭
what paints do you own?
I love paying $13.00 for less than 3 ounces of paint! I love Miniature Painting Hobbying!!
That Green looks like it goes so hard
Why not swap to professional stuff then?
way cheaper per ML
Cuz I'm a neanderthal
and better quality too
that is completely fair

oof thats a hard one, no good way to mix flesh tones with that one, you'd need a yellow
You’re overcomplicating this for me 😭😭
I’m not even at a point where I can mix paints
I can teach you lol, its not hard
and it is actually less complicated than layering
demoman
If I wasn't a good demoman, I WOULDNT BE SITTIN HERE, DISCUSISNG IT WITH YA NOW WOULD I
i was gonna make my own too
When I saw that head in cadian upgrade sprue I knew I had to make it
I mean originally it was meant to be cap price from CoD but then I noticed it also looks like character from much better game and went with demoman
I saw the beanie and knew too
shame no boonie, I have gotten used to modelling mutton chops and wouldn't mind a captain price
could always model a boonie though
he was all imperium until i saw it from the back
The paint scheme is so nice
Missed opportunity to kitbash a tau plasma gun into it
Neigh. Time to do the rider
Got bored so decided to remake one of my favourite Votann models in Hero forge xd
The whole death Korps
just the plasma weapons and snow on the base to go for these 12 models, feels awesome cause they've been mostly finished for about 3 years
That purple is so nice
cheers bud, its gw xereus purple over naggaroth night
Current wip on bloody rose jump pack canoness....
Base time
based inquisition tatoo
Only decals and base decorations left...
Two more veterans
New display case
Very nice, night lords?
Do you see any lightning decal?
The blue seemed very nightlords is all
I know not everyone does the lightning which is fine
They're not Night Lords.
What legion are they?

Alpha legion? They the other blue-green ones
🐍
The whole squad going to have chainfists?
Right now its just the corporal.
Oh, so are they both sergeants?
Yeah.
The plasma gun is cool
New project 🤩
Damn who modelled that
If it will start yelling "for the 6th!" Burn it
Bro is about to start establishing firebase
Canoness Ophelia Mynos from the order of the Bloody Rose charges into the battle...
pretty rad mechanicum dude ^^
Based
Appreesh! Been working on these bad boys for almost a month now
Redemptor with 3rd party bits
Kitbashed some Deffkoptas into war"bikes". Gonna rust them up tonight and do bases.
Picked this up from my special order at Warhammer Shop locally
Cant wait to build him, hope I can paint him / her some justice
biosigns binted
It's really the most awkward angle for the helmet, looks like a rock if you don't know what you're looking at. Congrats! Can't wait to get mine.
yeah unironically I said it was a rock to the Warhammer guy at the store, till he told me what it was and I saw
Wait that’s OUT??!
Its too bad im not a tyranid or stormcast fan
It's depends on whenever your local stores birthday anniversary is
If you go up and ask really nicely I think they could make an exception
Ork in progress
First tyranid, excited to paint it 
Brain Bug!!
A unit of almost finished veterans
Amazing job!
now you just need to finish the bases
Thank you! :3
Yes, that’s all that’s left to do
How do you suppose you're gonna do that? I always thought it was funny to make the Iron Warriors walk on grass, for a certain sense of irony.
PVA glue on it, then model grass, then a wash. Works well.
Really like the simple iron warriors paint scheme, good job!
I just use stirland texture paint to keep it simple
Thank you, been really simple to do
Agreed if I ever get into Horus heresy my army’s either gonna be iron warriors or world eaters
Love your base theme!
Thanks! I was going for an Australian desert theme but on fire
Exploding eucalyptus trees
A little rusty round the collar
Bit of extra work and some different lighting
why isn't he green
encounter with a slaaneshi daemon
Some WIP stuff. Forgive photo quality as late night binge has me blurry-eyed and thought the flash was a good idea.
Had bought a damaged kasrkin sarge and found some plastic replacement bitz that, with a little tweaking, produced this:
Trying to get this skin tone for Kroot. Is it closer to a tan/khaki or brown? I’m thinking something like a tone similar to steel legion drab
An unofficial collection of detailed and accurate paint schemes to help you achieve box-art results.
damn, no guide for that specific Kroot skin
but here's a few others they've used
but it's very likely done with Dryad Bark and Karak Stone
The best part of looking at gw minis is that was definately done with citadel paint
Isn’t dryad a bit too dark for the skin tone? Or is the skin tone closer to karak stone
mixed with Karak Stone that is
Ah that makes sense
the lighter parts are probably pure Karak
I’ll do some experimenting and see what I can come up with. Appreciate the ideas!
🫡
Been building and planning something for a couple of days now, not 100% sure yet if I want to use the dreadnought torso as a stepping stone but I'm warming up to the idea.
Would be adding some nice battle damage from the claws and maybe cut wiring to the torso if I go with this idea.
What legion do you plan to do the dead dread?
not sure yet, probably one of the legions from the defence of terra
Absolutely loaded the hell out of this mini
needs more guns
4 pistol holsters
7 knives
idk how to fit them on!!!!!
But im so glad i finally found a use for the spare inner circle sword
I could have used the eliminator backpack with the sniper hanging off of it
ankle holster
also wait this is a bladeguard that's funny
It's not actually
it's meant to be a unique sergeantfrom the combat patrol magazine
I think blood angels would be a good pick, a solid red to contrast with the SoH green
Dude that fucking rocks
Decided to forgo brown and go for orange instead
That is sick. I did something similar with a word bearer getting crushed by my contemptor.
That's true, though I was planning on painting this one as an ex Reaver captain dread, so he'd be in black and red colours
Ahhh gotcha, then perhaps fists as whitescars also use a fair bit of red
ye, that would be the obvious one but I'll consider other options too
Yeah that fair, I’m only putting out suggestions, though custodes are also an option, admittedly the plastic dread body isn’t quite the same caliber as their resin versions
Oh sure, I don't mind the suggestions at all 😄
Custodians could work but I don't feel like painting that much gold
Valid, looking forward to seeing what idea you go with
Oh and random tidbit of information regarding a terra inspired theme, Mk VII armour did show up within the loyalist lines, small numbers of it were manufactured on Mars and moved to Terra before the siege
Gives more options for casualties
Ye, though I might leave it at the one dread. The base might get too crowded with any extra 
I just meant in general, good to have ideas for future bases
Admonition is getting new recruits (in progress pic)
Does anyone know where i can get a file for heads with the mobian 21st mask for my old cadian shocktroops
This one
Bases done a little more grime
"Meat for the Cauldron!"
there's one on cults that's close
Head and mask from genestealer
Helmet from the guard
tried contrast paints for the first time
CENTURION ENJOYER SPOTTED
Hell yeah brother
Finished some various legion auxilia vehicles
Love how battered and dirty those are, awesome job!
Thank you
Most recent one I finished
Shame the lighting and camera don't do the face what little justice it has

Why tf is it not letting me post
Seriously what the fuck
Every time I try to post an update for my wardog conversion it gets insta deleted
Me when someone dares post minis in the minis channel,
whatever mod is doing this can blow me to completion
Are you trying to post more than 5 photos? Ive had that happen to me as well and I think its just discord doesn’t allow it
This minis pose is so good
I love how you did the jacket/overcoat
holy crap! the details are so crisp! I hope to be at that level with my painting my guard some day!
Damn sick job on Shand
Ik I love it so much, fits his character so well and thank you!!
Thank you!!
Love that Commissar figure so much. I was considering getting the squad and I don't even play guard.
Thanks! I don't think it's up to my full standard. And trust you'll get there 
Dead tyranid on the base of the mini im painting rn
do I do it in my hive fleet - jormungandr? Or another fleet like Leviathan?
Typhon, the best looking hive fleet
MY LOVELY SHY COMMISSAR, AAAAAAAH
Amazing
It’s so good and fun to paint! Same for the rest of the squad I love all the character each model has
He’s just a shy lil guy!
Hello
I'm making a custom Vostroyan Navy breacher kill team
Here's a picture of my sergeant at arms
Now the big question
Do I give the Gheistskull a hat?
my goat
Taking a quick break from heresy to finish this guy off
That's a weird looking Blood Angel
Grey Guy :>
He’s just a rather cheery fellow, who is strongly opinionated when it comes to Kelloggs cereal
God damn, I look away for 5 minutes and he’s completely different, amazing work
Gotta have his Pops
@faint star yes, Vostroyan pride!
Damn bois, I think we're cooking
Angory
I think he seems rather friendly
Woah that's super rad
Blood Angels Captain and Assault Intercessors wip
I completed my dark mechicum theme chaos knight! Been a fun month long project.
Amazing stuff @wise bay and @dusk perch
2 down, 7 to go!
What did you do to get that color of gold
Some white like how people tend to put on lenses
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE
I recoloured the teeth around the grill to silver, definitely better off now
Hell yeahhh
I’ve been thinking about getting some khorn berserkers for a kill team
They a tad bit fiddly with all the belts and pouches etc
For the sixth!
Update on wardog hopefully it lets me actually upload these
Not finished yet but current WIP
hes from the plasteel wastes where the planet is covered in plasteel dust
Chaos grey knights
Soul stones
start with the darkest colour and then do crescents towards the lighter side one tone lighter at a time
here's a quick tutorial I made for gold, the principle is the same with gems, just change the colours and use a darker base
Gold any% speedrun
Doin some serfs
Had nothing better to do so here’s a sword praetor turned into a plague champion
Better pic plus nurgling added
Dreadful
Absolutely gorgeous work
Trim around the eye in the middle going to be gold?
something like that, probably a cooler tone gold or bronze. Will be leaving all the metallics last because I'll be attending a metallics class next month with this model. Getting everything else ready with this model for that
Yeah that’s fair, I imagine you’ll give it a worn tone to tie it in, but the eye of Horus with the black armour and gold trim has to be one of my favourite details ever
It’s why I love painting legio mortis
it is very striking yeah
Looking forward to seeing how it goes
🫡
The confessor is ready to dish out the Emperors wisdom and justice
Working on my first heretic legion trooper
YES
See that's the confidence I needed
Teach me your ways of painting🙏🙏
Not really a good teacher to be honest 😄
I used 1-2 layers of old gold from Vallejo usually covers in one very nicely, than a water downed wash of agrax earthshade from citadel let dry than pick out some details and clean up w that old gold again
Also, iron warriors born from the same boredom
thanks
WIP on the next Berzerker
Small update. Still going.
Woe upon thee, big chainsword
We love big chainsword
What does this lean to need? I dont feel like it pops enough
Edge highlight every leaf
You could add different colour patterns on some leaves
Or pop on some vines I guess if that suits
Maybe try using that lighter green you’ve got for some leave on some more, the darker green leaves are quite dominant in some areas
You can see them quite well at the top but then around the middle onwards that darker colour starts taking over a bit more
Just dry brush the edges bright colours
First guy has the Abelard's head
What does the orange number mean????
i believe it would mean there are alternative parts you can use instead
Yeah I figured there's a pool of "2" I can choose from
It took me 5 minutes of trying to not let my adhd get in the way and I figured it out because it's on the first page haha
ALRIGHT
Got some more minis
So here’s an iron warriors siege captain
A white scar and an aspiring possessed son of Horus
And a word bearer and a world eater
How many coats of primer just one to cover the mini as it says 3 coats of paint is the best for mini so. I'm new to mini building and painting someone help me haha
A specific number of coats here isnt super important i dont think
Youre just looking for adequite coverage
I mean, thats assuming youre using a spray i suppose
- You want to give GW as much money as you can for their over price spray cans so you can have no money yourself
Lair apon lair of rotting flesh
add a bird
Wheremst can one find a tiny birb
Ill get some more Striker green on this guy, so far its a base of DK Drab, Castellan Green and Lohren Green
no clue, but i think it'll look nice
I found that 1 coat is enough then go back over with some thinned red paint, that’s what I do my for my world eaters
The heresy is multiplying
Just starting out What’s a good citadel paint for leather straps
Rhinox hide sounds like it
Thank you trying to paint the straps on my sword brethren
Painted some eyes today
Really nice DG
Thanks man
No worries, you did a good job!
Finally I can prime
HOLY SHIT THAYS SO GOOD!!!! Is that from something or is that your own soh colorscheme
It's the first company colour scheme, they've all got black and red colours. All the Justaerin and most of the Reavers are 1st company. Figured this one could be an ex-Reaver captain entombed in the dreadnought so he'd have a fitting scheme and loadout
If you meant the specific paint receipt, that I came up with myself
Some more white scars/alpha legion
Ooooh! I know I'll like this channel.
Whats the concept behind that one
My take is the Lion's forest walk.
Exactly
Painted the helmet highlights so much better than the rest of the body so I pretty much went over all the previous highlights and improved on them, might still need to work on a few areas
All iron
I started lookin at Old WHFB stuff and got workin in blender today. sculpting models for a custom Unit in possessed armor
Yeah I wanted to make some possessed Armor for a chaos Hero model.
Though Im more than likegly going to redo the Arms,
So I bought a bunch of death guard, for typhus should I have waited on glueing the smoke to his back so that I could paint better?
Maybe? Like did you glue the whole model together or into sub assemblies
The whole model together
I’m thinking that I might need to get a new model of him
i think if you can carefully maneuver him you can do it right. But I think sub assembly painting or waiting for smoke for last would've been best
ive heard of people using dental floss to separate glued pieces
Using it im guessing to file away at the seam?
Finally got the weapons painted
Looking sharp. But please for the love of big E: Put some holes into those barrels.
No >:3c
Making your own miniature from scratch is honestly pretty neat
designing and sculpting the model yourself
Man, i need to get a 3d-printer
probably expensive AF
depends how much money youll save printing plastic men
then it might actually be very cheap relatively

Uh, depends. So I got a jupiter SE, that costs ~650 before tax. It can print Titans. ABS-like resin to mimic plastic costs $25.99 a liquid KG
In materials, and with proper set-up, you can print a Chimera in 5.2 hours with the right settings. It only cost me $7.75 (234.7 ml) in materials as a cost-ratio to what I paid in materials (Chitu Box will calculate Cost per ounce based on how much you paid for the material)
Three of those "possessed" armors cost me 2 hours of time and $0.25 to print
So it is an expensive buy-in, but depending on what you're printing the savings outweigh it. And if you make / sell custom bits or models, you can recoup the cost
ya boi is getting pretty textured
A custom captain in gravis armour, using Tor Garadon pose
And mini
Oh, and playable in tabletop respecting the armament
Alternatively you don't need 600 bucks for a 3d printer to get started, I paid 200 bucks for the anycubic 4 mono on sale at Amazon and I have been very satisfied with it so far for the cost
A full plate like this took under a hour as well
But there is a fair amount of trial and error associated with resin 3d printing, if you aren't careful you can end up ruining the machine, or compromising your health
For example, I thought that I had got all the stuff out from a failed 3d print and went to printer another and my fep film got damaged, and I ended up scratching it so I had to replace it, my lesson being that whenever a print fails you should at bare minimum do a vat clean, and it doesn't hurt to re-filter it to your bottle and clean the vat, 50 dollar mistake there
I had juuust a little bit of tequila before building this guy so the arm and tongue placwment are slightly off but it just makes him look more enthusiastic about making out with his sword
Heres some half painted
Doing leaders in purple/gold and minions in pink / jade
(It looks a bit bluer because phone over saturates photos)
fire pose
Transfers nearly finished, just got to put a matte varnish on tomorrow evening
Big man is aaaaalll together now
This guy working hard to find out how many drugs is too many drugs
Anyone able to ID these skulls?
Presumably chaos bc the rest of the sprue is but idk what specifically
Okay the right ones seem to be Ur-ghuls but the left ones I’m still not sure on
Had the same issue. The only thing we ever came up with was either ogryn or ork
As it really dosent look like anything else
Ur-ghuls is correct and the ones on the left are Ogryn skulls iirc
WiP
Repainting my dark angels so here’s some progress on one of the blade guard members
did you at least strip them first??
the paints looking a little textured
the detail looked more refined in the past
i feel its beginning to clog noticably
Finished my Kroot kinband. Think I'll make the next kroot crow themed 🤔
Hell yeah
The reason I don’t think those are ogryn skulls is because ogryns already have skulls on the sprue that are much more visibly ogryn-like
What could these be used for I know the brushes are too big but the sponge things?? Also think cocktail sticks may be used for extra precise points?
Terrain
The website listing ought to list all the skulls in the box
Real shit?! It says they are ogryns?
I haven't checked, out at the moment
I'm getting Khorne Berserkers today
I also own some bretonnian knights of the realm
Two of them look like ork skulls (the long ones).. no clue about the others though
First draft of my hand of the archon team. Loving this scheme, glad to finally find something fun to do with my yellow paints
Gonna have to get/make some new basing material since the stuff for my other figs dont fit
wip
Squig Jaws?
what paints do y'all recommend to use with purity seals?
I prefer using a sandy brown, or a Khaki
New Model next to a 2nd Ed for scale. Not sure how I wanna handle the powerpack design though.
You could do like a relic container and have some gubbins either side
A big rolled up warscroll perhaps
I like that idea
I like wraithbone on the parchment then do a layer of skeleton horde over that. You can than go over again with wraithbone avoiding the recesses. But I don't always do that as it looks good either way
and for the wax?
Mephiston and carroburg crimson works
What color is the marine armor
Anyone else annoyed by the amount of psyker-bait armies in 40K? Feels like a mechanic that should be really common but is relegated to like 2 factions and some token units
Hypothetically should be a mechanic that every army has some access to but there’s like 4 armies that don’t have any psykers but functionally do the same thing without the keyword
Drukhari have so much psyker coded stuff that’s supposed to be advanced tech. Mandrakes at bare minimum should have psychic
Admech have the same thing with a more overtly mage aesthetic
Necrons have actual necromancer wizards that are just…not magic
Tau don’t despite having owlbear psykers in lore and having their own warp deity
Idk man I know it’s not something that actually matters but the magic system should’ve been written better imo it’s so awkward having multiple armies that don’t interact with a mechanic they should clearly interact with bc some lore writer wanted to be clever
Magic is for nerrrrds look at my berserkies
Bolt gun for Reference, but I think i might give them Disintegrators like on the 30th anniversary model.
The Cloth Skirt, kilt, etc. whatever you wanna call it wasn't rendering properly in the pose. So i removed it for now
pose is weird
thigh is clipping into crotch
if this is for printing you're wasting time rendering
Bro got the metal pants
those hands need more work
LEAVE THE MITTENS ALONE
Im just testing the color scheme in the rendering
you're better off test printing and seeing actual look. rendering wont give you the full picture of paint
Captain and the 5th company’s first assault squad finally done after best part of 6 months
No funny power sword effects hey
Nah just grey knights steel with a blue wash, does the job
Looks good asf keep up the good workkk
Your work is always so clean
thank you!
Look at this fella
You fool, you fell for one of the classic blunders
I know
I know...
Either way
I'm a happy camper
And I got to finish basing my test Vostroyan and I like it
And that’s the terminator’s all based as well, so now I’m caught up for my marines
Raven Guard successor or Iron Hands successor? Looks so familiar
Dark Angels
Guardians of the Covenant
Ahhhhhhhh well you conceptualized it perfectly
Thank you, I don't have any DA bits so I got to make do
That free handing is so good
That lightning bolt has odd angles so it took forever
It looks genuinely amazing
It's a successor so it'll have fluidity
Sergeant WIP
I don't see any wheels
Huh?
Sergeant Wip, he's got no ride
Deliver unto me Grail Knights
Kitbashing a flesh bag
Next Terminator Sergeant done...
How is this looking so far for recreating the look of Rogue-trader scouts.
hell yeah
I think im going to shoot for the big slashed puffy sleeve look
Nice
Looks more like a guardsman
Im just goin off this
Oh I think this'll work quite nicely
I like the look of this
Cheers, the pose was quite hard to pull off with the resin kit but I think I managed it quite well
this looks awesome
Thank you!

the facial hair is so good
Thank you! All you need to do it is good tool and bit of patience
The boys in black back there
All done, just need to do the fuel tanks now
This is some serious nice work!
the Helmets are from some STLs i got in the past, but I think they make good for scaling
next stop, re-proportion the arms, and then I can work on customizing the armor and later doing termi armor
Those are some cool ultramarines
looks like i got a new blender project
Whoa i didnt know they came out with new saturnine stuff, it looks rly cool.
Has anyone here ever gotten the combat patrol for the death guard with the pox walkers?
I’ve got a question about the set, I’ve assembling the set but I’m left with 3 body parts that look the same and weren’t in the guide book for assembly.
For the marine models
Nvm google answered that lol.
The Death Guard Combat Patrol box set, which includes Poxwalkers, contains extra Plague Marine body parts because it's a repackaging of the Dark Imperium sprue. This sprue originally included parts for a Plague Marine character, and the extra bits are a result of that. The Poxwalkers box and the Combat Patrol box are reprints of the original Dark Imperium box, which included a Chosen of Mortarion Plague Marine set.
Should I make Chapter themed Scouts, or just generic scouts
im just rendering to see how light is gunna fall on the model - relatively
Crimson fist could be cool
Goes with that old hammer vibe
Da Boyz!
One finished sergeant
Regular boots and Gloves or Armored boots and Gauntlets
Armored in my opinion
3/9 Moebian 6th
Imma do a test print with this pose. Ill build new posable hands tommorow.
Terminator just a scaled down dread
Tactical dreadnought.
Wash and some added detail
Just gotta do the legs proper and the actual base and this ones all good to go
Nifty
Anyone have any suggestions as far as the lighting/lightbox I made for this?
If you use a single sheet of A4 paper you can get rid of the corner intersection
Like if I fold the paper and put it in there or just use paper alone?
I'm not the best photographer and my phone camera is pretty mid but just to show
This is a game changer for me
something you discovered? or the paper
🗞️
I constructed a device
That's not too bad either, natural light is the best light
for your own light you should look up lamps with good CRI value, 90+ is good, 95+ is better (range is 0-100 where 100 matches natural sunlight)
and you'd want it to be around 5000K temperature
paper + window and we're cooking
They are brothers
Based kitbash
I wish I had a spare Berserker Pauldron
alas
I sufficed for one of those half pauldron they have
Cult champion of chaos!
How did you make that skin tone?
I primed chaos black, high lighted with grey seer, then thinned down fire slayer flesh letting it pool in the recesses to emphasize the muscles. Kislev flesh to highlight
ok
i forgot how big and chunky hands are on old-hammer
Chat who else has a Chaos Lord with Jump pack
no but what about him
I wanna see em
wrong emoji
tbh I don't think it looks good as a model, its got alot going on with it
Even the original kinda did
bro was into chain bondage
the new ones got that chaos swag
tbh, I think customizing a normal chaos raptor - or adding left-over chaos bits onto a Horus Heresy assault marine with additional details (if you can sculpt) is a worth while project
The boys with the new age angry helmets
3 hours
Yeaah
with those colors it seems like rebel pilot meets the dragonball gis
Why are you YELLOW. (Very nice painting mate!)
Alpharius
Or is it?
Hello
I currently own grey seer and wraithbone as primers which looks good for the generally slightly lighter colours I usually paint in but I'll be doing some plague marines and blood ravens soon and I was curious if I should get chaos black as a primer? Or am I simply overthinking it and it doesn't really matter?
Could grab a can of Death Guard Green for the plauge marines, and grey or wraith I could see being fine for Blood ravens if you dont mind a slightly bright red. I prime everything in Black personally
What are the benefits of black? I hear people say it helps with recesses but surely a base would cover it no?
Pretty much that, Instant shadows for hard to reach places/ Spots you cant get a wash in.
I also enjoy the slight darkness that each color gets from a black prime, where a grey or white will make the colors on top brighter ( depending on how thin your paint layers are)
I appreciate the answer! I guess I'll consider it then. I use grey seer a lot so I was thinking of mixing it up
A technique that I see alot is: Black prime, then a grey spray from whatever direction you want your fake light to come from. Gives it that nice lighting effect minimal effort
I haven't got the Grail Knights of my Dreams but I got some Pegasus Knights
Guard Chimera with scrounged plasteel plates from a nearby laydown yard
Pegasi seem pretty lame until you give the guy on top a giant spear
Doom scythe didnt come with the adapter to sit it on that stand so ill have to contact Gee Dubs
don't they have the cross shaped hole for the stand, though that stand isn't compatible with those
oh they changed it in 9th edition
so you're missing that secondary clear piece?
that does seem a lot better than the old one
dashing
charging, even
Yeah mine didnt come with that cross bit on the end of the clear line there
ah, yeah GW ought to remedy that if you contact them
I checked everywhere including the box
they're pretty good with stuff like this
Will do that in the morning or on monday if i cant do that
that rear gunner is awesome
Thanks! Had spares lying around from my Baneblade kit so I made do
ew age of sigmar
Those hats were the death of me but we'll see
The boys
Progress on the Carrier!
The little tassels on the leftmost came out so good
Two best friends
So what do you guys think if my arbite
stumpy
👤
Figured out that i can buy an older version of the same stand and itll work just fine.
The one from a few editions ago iirc what my brother told me
Probably. In reality im just using the older pewter models as reference. As well as sketches from Necromunda and "Confrontation"
Im gunna re-work how im doing arms though because of the crumpling in the elbows during posing.
But yeah I think ill make a 2.0 with more Dredd aesthetic elments
you shuold still contact GW, they should send you one for free
yeah got ahold of the store i bought the model from
theyre gonna contact gee dubs through their rep in a few days
Which lighting looks the best?
I kinda like the warmer lighting because it looks like they're going to Mexico or Africa on a drama filter but I know that isn't visually as showing
I also think I like the distinct line in the background to help draw it as a 3d space
Probably 2 but if you want the Mexico filter I cannot stop you hehe
I think you should do a 30 degree directional to the left or right and a 30 degree angle pointing down. Assuming the light's "0,0" is pointing straight ahead visually at a 90 degree
then raise the light to the appropriate height for shadow
That gemstone on his chest makes him look like an aeldari
Alot of old arbites got the gemstone, or gemstones on Aquilas for badges. I like the look, but i think im gunna give the sgts cord decoration.
They came through fine
The first one is my brothers model and he wanted me to paint his units he got recently so here one that I painted, Now I have two more to paint.
Cultist now has a little nurgling to pal around with, Krieg Grenadier w/ Stubber is now finished!
Next up: Centaur Driver and Gunner
yea seems like a thing thats been going around
a free sprue!
Exactly
Now I gotta contact GW
I was assembling the second plaguecaster like
Hang on?
Didn't i do this
No heavy intercessor gunner or plague marine warrior for me
….great now I gotta check
I hate push fit plague marines they're trying to take my damn blood
Had a busy past few weeks building, magnetizing, and painting these guys. This is the other half of my kill team roster, finished them just a few hours before the tournament I attended. Pic taken at the venue post game
I think im gunna have a metal fixture around where the nose once was, and have wires running from it, and the mouth, to an aparatus on the head. What do you all think
WIP of my very serious model for this very serious setting
It's such a good model
Everything is metallic including the leopard print
My partner kitbashed and painted an Emperors Children black shield!
I thoguht she did amaizng
Is that a fucking space marine bolter guitar
What is the context behind this
Noise marine, am emperor's children unit. They make the music of Slaanesh. This is a collector version of one of them, I'm using him as a lord kakophonist.
Love that
Noise marine?!
Are they not serving the emperor?
How do u even play a guitar with such big gauntlets
Here's some of the new noise marines
The Emperor's Children wre the best of the best but fell to their primarch's pride during the Horus Heresy. They're chaos space marines. They melt faces
So pure evil space magic 😄
Good luck buying emperors children for like 6 months though they're always sold out whenever I look
Whoops didn’t realize that we were talking EC already lol
Yeah I got the launch box and combat patrol. Printed a daemon prince, a couple rhinos, and a land raider, boom 2k points
They have... Noise guns?
They shoot unpleasant noises at people
Ignores cover 
It's actually an incredible ranged attack
For each noise marine unit you get 6 attacks at 10 str 3 damage, enough to kill tanks
I have enough guard don't worry how many will it take to waste your time? 20? 30?
Well they can shoot wide band attack, 12 attacks with like 6 str 1 damage a piece. Combined with the lesser weapons it's often enough to clean up like 10-15 fragile models
Can usually clear 20 if they have an attached hero
The noise boys are 135 points, 195 with the hero so yeah that's not a great trade for chaos probably lol
They're best at killing other marines I think, they're just okay at killing tanks but EC kinda suck at killing tanks so it's what we got
Okay is better than nothing
i love my partner's balck recipie, she puts a purple shade ontop of the black and it looks so good
its like an obsiidan black
imma find a wya ot work it into my stuff
My chud son came off his base >:(
Chud son wishes to be free
he's got some destroying to do
oh i know I can, just annoying while I was painting
“Mother, I crave violence”
What are we looking at here?
Current Krieg force line up, needs more cannons and Centaurs me thinks
Wip on terrain
That's a good paint job, is that a pla print or resin?
those are some big lookin lines up top
ik this isn’t 40k but I recently finished my dnd fella
he’s got a shield but it snapped off so im gonna have to glue it back
It's a 3D print... Got some alternative "fantasy Terrain" from a certain shopping app with orange logo ^^
Guys i have to ask
Thousand sons, kitbash nightlords... Ooooooor... World Eaters
To have a chaos army
Ave Dominus Nox
Aaaand done....
Chaos undivided. Invent your own warband 
Or pick an existing im debating starting a Red Corsairs contingent
progress on recreating Rogue trader's "Sister Sin" as a model. I might redo the face or keep it for an Older Sister like a Canoness whose been around for some time
Black primer looks so good I had no idea
Free stuff
That’s it for the painting!
30K not 40K, My current painting project a squad of Warhounds from Legion Honorum
oh wow bangers
Should I make some alternate hose configs
Why head so big tho.
I thought you couldn't fit ogryn in space marines suit.

I know it's render and it's for mini armies anyway.
Gw wouldnt give me em so i made my own
I want dual wield pistols
My horrid man because of Heresy reveals
I want a chainaxe sprue
Gw denies me all the good shit
Horse Butts
Most 2nd ed models have fuck-off big heads tbh.
like look at this dude, with that doom guy grin
big ass head, couldn't even have the actual electronics for a helmet in the helmet with a skull that huge
Games workshop support I must say very good and helpful
An imperial truth or heretical lie
In this case truth somehow
GW customer service is very good yes
FOR CADIA!
I think the shoulders being low is what makes the head look a little off
cause in the old models the shoulders are just a little lower
the shoulders in the old ones are pretty much at eye level
^
How do you guys paint very very small eyes
or just make the eye area look good?
because I am really struggling
I recently did this and the eyes don't sit right with me
Only helmets baby, can't be arsed with that
The rest have helmets hahahha I just wanted to try a face
never again
Honestly once you can get the eyes right you’ll make pretty good faces
It looks pretty good already
I also usually just DEMOLISH the model in agrax earthshade so details as small as that get covered
Same with me for my death guard and nurgle daemons
And my chaos knights
Fr gets the goods on all my chaos
I assure you these guys have been hit with it
Drowning
I think it's because he's missing a pupil I'll have to look for my finest brush and see if I can add a tiny dot
Let's face it, we've all messed up a face or two in our time while holding our breath and jabbing haplessly at a miniature trying to dot the eyes. Luckily, there's an easier way! A classic tip that used to do the rounds in modeling magazines and club painting nights of old, shared many years later online. The beauty of the internet!
Today's min...
trust the process
An issue i noticed on these prints comes up on the head or elbows missing like 1 tiny tiny often unnoticable support leading to a random flat or drooping of the area. One sgt has this issue on his face, and the static non combat posture marines got flat elbows
But it did capture facial detail nicely
Cute retro dudes
Wild, I'm enjoying painting white
Woah dude
Solid
Ayy, decided white scars in the end. Like it
Cheers, it'll be heavily weathered in the end so it won't steal the spotlight being so white and all but I believe it'll work well
It’ll contrast nicely compared to the SoH dreads so that’s all you’d really need it to do
True, there could be an issue if I leave it too bright that it'll draw the eye from the main dread too easily so the weathering will need to tone it down quite a bit
Agreed, weathering will absolutely tie it in better
That video was a literal gamechanger wow

Genuinely thank you
Posting more of my Sons
Nice
Are you Horus then?
BIG LADS
Vdv tank top ogryn
Missing a couple of Hormagaunts
Every guard army needs one
For the swarm!
For the Hivemind!
Was able to get my 2000 point guard army finished.
It’s got 72 infantry and 9 tanks
I’m quite happy to see a fully painted and based army on the table now
Hell yeah
print the heads separately
or apply manual supports with whatever slicer you're using
pretty decent first time attempt at green stuff wires/pipes
Finally finished
Lads are based now
I painted a blood raven today and I kinda fucking hate it lmao so back to the drawing board
You'll be good eventually
Finally done, after a few symbols and touch ups these guys will be good to go
I think you just gotta touch up the pauldron a little. But i generally would have painted the models base colors first, do a wash of agrax (or whatever prefered neutral wash to darken and slightly mute colors) then add more to re brighten and clean up where needed
Otherwise, i think its good
Unforgivable 😔
(It looks great)
Fucking disgustingly well done
Might repaint on the lower part, cause the brown and white ain’t it
The smoke?
I like it, it looks like gross fumes comin down. Like his cowl is becoming toxic gas
Is the brown agrax or a thinned out brown paint?
Redone to black
@dusk ruin opinion?
Gonna redo the face next..But idk what to do
I think the black complements the purple, green, and blue nicely
Now i just gotta paint'em. All i did to fix my issues with the models print was just make it chunkier
Not finished yet bit I braved panel lining for the first time
Is that an admech marine?!
Yeah its a techmarine
It worked fantastically
I have an old Medium Layer brush with, like
4 bristles left (hyperbole)
and use it for tiiiiny delicate details like putting down eye lens colours, or in this case, working Ratling Grime into the indentations
I only bought this one to do a paint comparison from a couple years back
Yeah basically chapters send some new baby space marine off to the adeptus mechanicus so they can learn how to fix machinery, deal with machine spirits, etc and then they come back and usually run their tanks
those mareins that come back are probably more admech-loyal than emperor-loyal too which is funny
unlearning the imperial doctrine only to get entangled in the Omnissiah's will
I was looking at that :(
Forgot I already posted it further up lol
I did a bunch of posts at work lol and forgot where I posted them
Kind of glam looking photoshoot for being grey
Cleaned up a bit and I'm happier.
dont blood ravens have green lenses
I don't have any green you gotta cut me some slack hahahahah
Alrighty need an opinion - do I share the armour now and highlight it or just highlight it with the recess shading?
Then I remembered I do have a pot of waaaagh green my friend got me because he thought the name was funny
@faint star @rare hornet ayudame
Honestly with red recess shading can sometimes be enough
Thoughts with my guy as he is now then? Just leave him as is?
looks awesome! 😮
Yeah I think he looks solid
I agree with the warsmith
the mini looks fantastic right now
the panel lining is beautiful
Righty ho then, I reckon this boy’s done
I think an un-highlighted metal works best
Metal you can get away with washing
That is beautiful
I can'#t see any chapter markings on there so who does he belong to?
Carcharodons
Of which I do not have the stones to paint their marking
And no transfers yet
My first one from a couple years ago I did an Ultra because I hadn’t settled on a chapter yet
WIP
space marines without their shoulder pads and powerpack feels so off lol
Naked
That’s weird. They shrank his shoulders, made him look soft..
Quick question what models do you get to have these peices😭
Primaris lieutenant plus a head from DA upgrade set
Bettt
because I’ve been wanting to get different sets for my dark angels
I’m planning on using one of the inner circle companions to make a librarian
The upgrade box for dark angels is so good
Hoods in power armour are so cool
FRRR
The hard part of not using all them up lol
I have used all of my hoods in 1 go
I got to try and get them to last me a couple of units, so I’m mainly saving them for characters
How could I not when hooded bladeguard
Imma use my inner circle for thematic bladeguard
I used my inner circle for inner circle
I need more hoods
I would have put hoods on my knights too if they had helmeted hoods
I like the knights hooded heads
Might steal some off a friend to use for my deathwing captain
But that’ll be when I do my deathwing, for now it’s the 5th company
3rd company I think
I never bothered with the kneepad markings
I just put what looked cool
Green? Check
Dark angel decals somewhere? Check
Yep it's a dark angel
I only ever bothered with that on my captain
I’ll probably do it on the company banner later down the line
heyyy you did something similar to me lol
Nooooo, completely original :3
I used two power fists though
but I did use a hooded head
that raised gun arm I used onnnnnnn the Combat Patrol magazine sergeant
Oooh, that one
Oh I expect there would be some kickback
