Does anyone have a good palette I could use for the Kasrkin killteam?

#

I really struggle w finding paints

#

This is absolutely amazing btw this is my fav Cadian paintjob I’ve seen

#

Oh, sorry

#

I meant like

#

A list of paints to use

#

I’m sorry

plain violet
#

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

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

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.

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:

midnight locust
#

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

brisk vapor
#

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

faint star
#

The best part of looking at gw minis is that was definately done with citadel paint

midnight locust
brisk vapor
#

mixed with Karak Stone that is

midnight locust
#

Ah that makes sense

brisk vapor
#

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.

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

brisk vapor
#

Oh sure, I don't mind the suggestions at all 😄
Custodians could work but I don't feel like painting that much gold

rare hornet
#

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

brisk vapor
#

Ye, though I might leave it at the one dread. The base might get too crowded with any extra pupper

urban drum
#

depends how much money youll save printing plastic men

#

then it might actually be very cheap relatively

clear finch
# languid ermine probably expensive AF

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

#

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

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

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.

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

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?

rugged vigil
#

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

faint star
#

What are the benefits of black? I hear people say it helps with recesses but surely a base would cover it no?

rugged vigil
#

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)

faint star
#

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

rugged vigil
#

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

faint star

They shoot unpleasant noises at people

pearl onyx

Ignores cover awesome

#

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

faint star
#

I have enough guard don't worry how many will it take to waste your time? 20? 30?

pearl onyx
#

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

You kill thanks with sound?

60 guard to waste... 3 turns...

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

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!

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

It’ll contrast nicely compared to the SoH dreads so that’s all you’d really need it to do

brisk vapor
#

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

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
