got it
Imagine how I feel as a paint formulator, I know way more about paint and paint chemistry than most youtubers and painters but they try to correct me despite having a bunch of research journals in my name
yes, sub assembly will make yellow much easier
But you being teamed up on by people who don’t know what their talking about
Thank goodnesss
I'm wrong sometimes but I get told to leave communities for saying you cant put acrylics over oil paints unless its a specialized alkyd
As a new painter yellow might suck for me lol
I don’t understand why people can’t just look on a diffrent side or do research
artist fluid acrylic I make
The actual pan it’s server company everything I said
you spend a lot more but you get quality
paint information is hard to get, i try to make it easier to get though
I don’t have any like
Expletive painting
Experience*
Do you have measure ments for that pant? Or is it more complex then that
More complex than that
Sighhhh
its binder I designed
Painting is easy
How do people make the logos look so clean?
making paint is hard
Are there stickers?
Do those come with boxes or?
they do sometimes
Generally speaking, no they come in the boxes
but some factions dont have boxes so you have to buy them
nice
waterslides are another skill to learn
Well everyone starts somewhere so
they arent super straight forward
best advice I can give you is to soak them in diluted white vinegar
It’s not like I half assed it
Fr?
What’s it do?
I still remember the pain of my first experience
it melts the slides down a little so they arent as thick
Does it ruin the pieces?
Wait what are water slides?
they are decals that come in the boxes
Ah
you soak them in water to apply them
I’m just scared of eyes lol
Yes
Oh okay
This is the most recent thing I did with waterslides
Woah
It's not perfect but it was supposed to be quick
Looks pretty good to me
it was a 2 hour paint job
My first mini took me 40 hours
just want to add that you can also use small pieces of sponge or old brush to make cool battle damage for the emblems
but the entire thing was a learning experience
that what I used to do
FOR ONE
thats what I did on that thing I posted
I’m so cooked
yeah. This was during covid and so I had the free time
Bro I ordered 68 😭
but I was learning and practicing on a single model
Golden demonn models take 500+ hours each btw
😢
I want to do bases
I have a bunch of pre made fit to raven guard cork bases made
They’ll all fit but
I want to add more
To the cork
It’s just brown rn
I need to decide what landscape ima go with
For the base
Anyways I gotta go for a bit
Seeya guys 🫡
Oh and
Last thing
How to you paint the edges of pieces a lighter shade without buying more shades?
Can I just mix with white?
thats a basic way of doing it, yeah.
With green you just add in more yellow
yep\
plus mixing colors is part of the fun for me
experimenting with different wavelengths of light and pigments
Bit more dread progress, got the metal under the arms and legs done, and the sarcophagus
mutliple degrees
That’s crazy
working on my phD in polymer chemistry currently
nor am I but that doesnt stop me
@snow blade so you have actual air brush or just primer spray?
i hope to be as good at painting as this guy
we all do 
Both
Primer and airbrush
Do I need special paint?
@round cloak
actual I should ask drev lol
@sick ledge
I am not sure, I don’t have one(
Drez the paint guy lmao
Oh I see
My internets crapping out and then order of messages is messed up
I just wanted to recommend make up sponge methodI used to paint marines
Sure!
I used make up sponge for my dark angels, it worked out so well on round edges, as gradients look like such they was make using air brush
it is mostly for people who don’t have air brush but anyway
small brush and practice
😢
well nothing special here(
You shouldnt need special paint at all
How many bristles does your smallest brush have? I know it’s a dumb question. Only if you know
That’s good
I can just use Warhammer paint?
either a small brush or a micron pen
yes
I will see if there is number on my brush
XD sorry
1
WHAT
Its a special brush for retouching paintings
can I use it for eyes?
Yes
I mean paint brushes usually have number on them
I didn’t even know
that number only correlates to the specific brand
not number of bristles))
its not a universal size fun fact
I’m doing yellow white and black be
yeah, its really dumb
agree
My first set was khorn berserkers, I painted 3 of them and forget about the set until now
yep
I am nearly done with them
Do u guys use super glue btw?
If so how long does it take to dry the paint then glue and so on
Yeah
depends on what im gluing
you can even speed it up so its instant
Heat?
I use tamiya extra thin and 2p-10
no, water
super glue cures by a chemical reaction with moisture in the air or on the surfaces being bonded.
so bakinng soda, insta-cure fluids, etc can do a lot to cause it to cure quicker
my glue bottle is complete trash I broke its tip last week
I need to buy new one or new bottle
is original warhammer glue any good? I saw that the bottle is good
Oh that sucks
Lmao
I have to wait 2 months bro
For everything to get here
Then I’ll start
got yourself gifts for christmas?
just means you have 2 months to figure out schemes and practice dotting eyes on some paper
something about glue to add is that mine corrodes plastic a bit if I put too much
be careful if your will too
Thanks!
How’d you make them?
I see
Used my hobby knife
Alr
Depends on what you're having difficulty with specifically. But I can give you general tips if that's what you're looking for.
Small things 😢
For edge highlights you should be using the side of the brush closest to the tip, and use a fine point brush as well. For the eyes, use the tip of a fine point brush. And always remember to thin your paints as well as wipe off excess paint on a paper towel from your brushes before you apply them.
If you don't already own a model stand like this, get one. It'll make painting a lot easier.
Be gentle with paint application when it comes to fine details
Take your time and don't rush. If you mess up, don't worry, you can easily fix mistakes by painting over them with the correct color.
For regular non-edge highlights its basically the same tactic for edge highlights
Thanks!
https://youtu.be/_oMd_WTDGnw?si=oo0w0a_SKSfkLGZ7 I followed this tutorial to paint my infernus marine, and the techniques in this video for painting fine details can be used for any model.
This easy-to-follow Step by Step Warhammer painting tutorial shows you how to paint Salamanders
Click more… for list of paints, brushes and hobby equipment I recommend
I use Citadel paints and tools to show you how to achieve stunning results. Every technique is broken down clearly, with tips on products, brush control, and finishing touches...
Thank you!!
No problem 👍
Why do people suggest using a gloss varnish before applying decals as opposed to a matte one? Or is it just so you can see where you put the varnish?
because it makes it easier to apply them, the trouble is that most varnishes yellow and crack with in a few years by design
something hobbyists dont know about
Is there a better alternative for play pieces?
gloss medium
Working on some deathguard
Finally started building again after not having done it for 6 months

Very goonable
Just the base left to decorate
Didn't have time to finish because I had to build my wife's emperors children, but Im really liking how it's coming along
@sick ledge you were right, titan buff is nice
Wife's emperors children is an exceedingly funny phrase
XDDDDD
I mean
Better the “sorry, babysitting my wife’s a thousand suns” XDDD
Covers better than any of that gw shit
Doesn't really need to be thinned a ton does it?
Nope
When it comes to white and yellow paints, trust golden. They do it the best
I meant more is there any reason for gloss over matte do they have different properties I may not know of
Makes them easier to apply
Matte you can't adjust them as easily
Also matte has a texture on it so the waterslides will get textured and look weird
looks great
(unbiased opinion)
My custodes 2K point army
Fob done
Yall are so talented
eh, not really, just practice and using techniques that Im comfortable with
Very goonable
Sick uniform colours
We gotta stop 😭
2 more left!
I love the corsairs
No :3
Also pretty goonable
Bro 😭 🙏
some dark angels for... Who
For the Lion!
And thus parents inflict their addictions on their children 😭 😆
Bros a better painter then me 😭 🙏
It's also my first mini in like, 20 years
So we're getting into it together
I returned to the hobby recently, after a similarly long break, as well 🙂
surely you buy some ogryns
For Sigma or something
I got a broadside and stealth battles suits for 20usd total
Finished our first mini. Paint's way too thick ofc, I'm using paints from the infernus starter pack and it doesn't come with primer. Forgot to properly dilute the 2nd and 3rd layers but good lessons for the actual marines in that set (I got this stormcast sprue for free from a WH shop we visited yesterday)
love the machine oil effect, good job 
what is this kit btw? I like the helmet, haven’t seen it before
You don't actually need primer, it's chemically identical to the paint you used
I have some documents about primer in you're interested
I can definitely get it looking better but I couldnt get the first layer to stick to the plastic properly without using way less water, and then I forgot to dilute the other layers more strongly again
It's a learning experience after all.
MKII Tactical Squad + Havocs
the newer Mk3 weren't doing it for me, I'm glad the Mk2s stayed bulky
Thank you! As Newominus said, mark II body with Havoc arms and pack, and then the heads and shoulderpads are custom iron Warrior specific stuff I picked up
The plated shoulderpads I thought worked pretty good for a bulky havoc
got it 👍
surly fellow
Finnished
An Iron Warrior fit to tear down the walls of the Imperial Palace right there pal. 
Oh, those are just games workshop pieces
Oh 
Getting closer
Lego deadpool is kinda sus as a loyalist marine.
i need to post my half baked blood bowl team here
any chaincannons? love the look of those things
I do! Will build one eventually lol
Personally the reaper is my favorite one… which is a good thing I snagged 4 of them lol
WiP Tyranid Side Project
Hive Fleet Kronos?
Isn’t that Behemoth
really nice IW 🙌
could tyranids be any color or specific colour scheme means specific fraction?
I mean you can’t paint space marines any color scheme you want
it isn’t lore accurate
Oh, 100%
I just thought it looked like Kronos
Cuz Kronos is based
You can actually, then it'd just be a homebrew chapter and it can be just as lore accurate as an ultramarines company
👍
Same goes with tyranid schemes
There are set schemes that represent specific hive fleets but you can make your own
understood
now I want tyranids minis to cook with custom color scheme 
I wanted to buy kriegs next tho
not sure now which one I want more
flip a coin
Scheme I cooked up years ago
that's cool
You cooked with the dotted gradients
And a scheme I made for @midnight cairn a couple months back
:0
I've only bought marines
Amusingly it’s Behemoth
Kronos is literally just red and black swapped round from Behemoth
Ooooooh, I forgot that Kronos has red carapace
Ngl the Votann helmets kinda remind me of uhhhhh
I forgor the name of it
Starcraft
Inspiration is a circle apparently
Ok I'm officially upset
My faction just won a huge tournament
The thing is it was a list without spice
Very strong battlelines
But no abbadon
No world taker
It did have cypher and fabius
But like man we all have them
Really tried working on brush control for this one
BIRD UP!
The free mini you get comes pre primed!
Don’t start painting without priming
The paint will eventually flake off
I made that mistake
After about 400+ models painted over the last 2 years I can confidently say my failures taught me way more than my successes
Keep failing keep learning
400 models in 2 years? Damn you're on the grindn
it wasn't an official free mini, just a sprue the proprietor kept for kitbashing
Oh
The official ones have hammers
Rogue Trader conversion using Spyrer miniature. Head is actually Guardswoman head with clipping and drilling done to make the neck joint work
Very cool!
This isnt true and I have proof of it too, lots of research documents. Primer is chemically identical to the paint youre using, the only difference is that it has a larger particle size
if your paint is flaking off it means you over thinned it or the paint is of a low quality
it was true back in the 70s and 80s when waterbased acrylics were new, but we have had major advancements since then in polymer science
Hey has anyone used this before? My lgs has one and I might grab it for Sylvaneth
Oh and
on some angles the minis in the middle do look like theyre holding c-14's
The grind continues
This is not including the full painted ork army or the 5 painted kill teams I sold last year
the major kill Emps model is a big boy
Need some advice on what to paint his fur collar, he's a pirate so it would absolutely be from the most flamboyantly colored animal he can find but I'm drawing a blank on how to paint it without looking like a party city feather boa
Dont know i pained my corsairs by picking paints by random and making mismatched colours on capes
bro, where to you get this world eaters terminator from? which kit is this?
@round cloak its a saturnine praetor bashed with daemon prince parts!
is his shoulder pad with world eaters logo kitbashed too?
Yes, the whole giant spike set is one of the back options for the fantasy version of the prince
got it
he looks gorgeous, amazing job 
I wish I have one for my world eaters
anyway
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
guys, guys
my nickname is red, it is time
ckeck the squig while I am photographing my berserkers
he is so small, camera doesn’t even want to focus
Dreadnought finished!
First time I’ve ever finished a bigger than space marine model, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out
Guys, how you photograph your minis? just with phone?
Wow you painted these perfectly
thanks 
guys i wanna make cool terrain
what do you guys recommend
i got army painter battlefield set
but i want heads helmets or even maybe lying dead soldiers as model
this cool but there is only one space marine body
sadly
do you have any idea some normal soldier bodies
holy shit it got sisters of battle helmets
they would look awesome on my base for death guard
Have them printed, otherwise it's going to be expensive 😆
I agree with the printing point though
Unless you wanna buy a box of cadians and cut them up
that would hurt me
Another one printed
Ready to plunder the Mon-keigh
The new trench crusade Prussians look sick, as a prussian (pole) I might have to cop this

Oh how I missed painting orks ❤️
Pretty happy with the armor seeing as it took me like 30 minutes
that's super nice
Ahem... Waaagh
Oi, datz sum reely zoggin good rust work!
Really easy to do too, 3:1 contrast medium and snakebite leather
I should teach you how to make contrast medium
Stupidly easy and really cheap
Gave the Inquisitor a more stylish head
Every detail tells the story of Sigmar’s chosen assassin: the splintered war platform beneath her feet, the Orruk helm crushed into the dirt, the storm-forged fury carved into every line of her form.
This dynamic pose was brought to life by our passionate artists, drawing on decades of experience in worldbuilding and character design, distill...
Looks like Malum Caedo
convince me not to buy 20 boxes of arbites
Because you can get that many arbites and a bunch of inquisition stuff if you buy boxes of the Imperial Agents combat patrol instead
yeah but cop army
220 arbites
First ever intercessor I've actually finished
Did somebody say orks?
So here it is — my entry for this year:
“The Magister of Hammerhal”
I didn’t have time to take proper studio photos, so these quick shots will have to do for now!
For years I’ve wanted to create a classic wizard or alchemist in his tower — surrounded by potions, arcane grimoires, and all the timeless sorcerer tropes. The Cities of Si...
2057
Guh-DAMN
I like your stuff better
No one said orks
I do though
Well I appreciate it but you might want to get your eyes checked 
I just did, my doctor said I have super human vision
Damn
Beautiful 😍
Hell yeah
so jealous of you guys that live in a country where these kits are easily accesible. The starcraft minis cost twice their srp if shipped to where I am
Not my bag 
Also no SC minis. Afaik the store just had these bags to give for my friend who bought something from them
I actually flew here today
Helghast advanced infantry?
Yes, the LMG Variant
Epic
I'm in the middle of making an assault infantry cosplay
holysihttt
i cant believe how many of bits i recognize
Attempts at some highlights. Not happy with the primed might black over the main carapace and try again.
Is that a hive fleet Kronos paint job by chance
Aaaaand done! Thoughts?
I think that's behemoth iirc
Ah yes, the two hivefleets that always get confused because they're just the same scheme but inverted
2 hours of waiting in line and we're in
I wish you success!
I like this green skin much better than the super bright ones that many pick.
See you in the warcomm article
Finally got around to claiming this, idk i expected it to be bigger, but hey I own a mini now 😂
Its kinda similar but the recipienwas specifically for ironjawz skin but it turned out real well
Are they implying that the servoskull is considered 1 out of the 3 figures?
is it not? it has it own stand
I would assume it to be an accessory
Oh that picture he was holding I didn't see the stand well
5 months left for me
can you still get that one? or you can only get the aeldari for this year?
for my subscription
i choose that one
6 or 7 months ago
but i wish i could get the aeldari
very based chaos
The quality of the works is honestly staggeringly good, so I kinda doubt it 
if you dont get a finalist pin I'm suing GW so they can get a taste of their own medicine
I assure you my friend noone here is surprised you got one your work is amazing

Congrats
Many thanks
Looks like I dont have to sue GW now
Will know if I'll get anything else tomorrow
hell yeah
Best commissar. Promising start!
Kit bashed with tiny legends head and base size upped for a Lord Commisar for a new command squad
Welp started building my emperor's children combat patrol
Hell yeah bro that's what I'm working on!

sup chat
i just got my first minis
made some good progress on this guy
my very first paint
thank you !! yeah they might honestly be my favorite chapter both aesthetically and thematically
its just the free infernus from the shop, but i also bought the hivestorm Kill Team box, the assembled vespid are in the background of the pic
Well deserved!
just built them today actually, still have the aquilons to build
and they look like a headache
i got a bit overwhelmed when i opened the box and there was just SO much stuff in it lmao
i was like tf have i gotten myself into
Great Job brother! 3rd company is sick! Ive got a 2nd company force myself
very nice, and thanks!
i need to redo that right eye though its such a bitch to get lol
also i have an important question guys
the infernus was super straightforward to paint because its a lot of wide surfaces and its not loaded with creases and details
But do people paint more intricate models separately before gluing them ? Like i built the vespids but i didnt glue the wings on any of them yet, bc theyre a super important part of the look and I figured i was gonna have trouble painting the inner side if the minis were fully built
And i havent started building the aquilons yet, but i have a similar feeling about it. Lots of small details or parts that will be semi hidden behind another part of the model like how the weapon can hide some of the pouches etc
ive been practicing on a throwaway ork kommando a friend gave me and while its fun, some parts of the model like ammo pouches or dynamite packs are extremely hard to fully cover without constantly spilling over the body, because theyre just so close to angles or right below one arm, etc
so i was thinking that for at least some outer bits or very small bits of models, like jetpacks/wings and accessories, i could paint them before gluing them so i can do a better job
Its all just painters choice personally. Ill sub-assemble on occasion.
alright thanks
just having a hard time figuring out how i would properly paint a sidearm that is literally strapped beneath the model's armpit
love how this one turned out
this beautiful fucked finally brings my army to 1000+ points 😈
So I’m planning on building a Crimson Fist army and noticed Pedro Kantor is actually listed in the Munitorum Manual, but he doesn’t have a model. Do I just make a custom model?
This is actually the coolest model ever
So I started with lore and went to the video games (darktide, rouge trader) anyone have any tips to get into the table top game?
YouTube
Just look up example games
Read through the core rules
Thanks watching some now
Warhammer 40,000 10th Edition is finally here and we're so excited to show YOU how to play the game. Including the Core Rules and the contents of the Leviathan box set!! There's something here for beginners and veterans alike.
You can download the core rules from Games Workshop for free here:
This one is pretty good
You get some videos that are like 90 minutes or more long
Don’t bother with those
There’s a quick start guide GW released a while back that’s pretty good
If you just google “40K quick start guide it’ll come up”
It’s just a very simple “here’s what steps you need to go through in a game” sort of thing
It can look quite intimidating at first, but the game is quite easy to play once you’ve got the flow down
You move, shoot, charge, then fight
Then your opponent does that
Or if you play Tau you just do the second one
Custdoes combat patrol be like that
Ye
It would’ve been less of a slaughter for him if he hadn’t played his invictor suit into my wardens/blade champ early on and without support
He could’ve won if he shot me
Instead of going melee instantly
And if I hadn’t rolled as good as I did
Many invul saves
Wip. I'm sad I only have one more ork after this
Decent outcome
My brother in christ
It is not a money probelm
It is a space problem at this point
Also GW only has 2 ork kill teams and I own both 😭
decent outcome
Posts display worthy results
You wot
Hah I had a tiny bit of hope of placing a commended with the Dread but I am happy with these nevertheless 😄
I come from the birthplace of games workshop
So naturally I can’t afford any
🏴
Goo. 
Thought that was a green tea brownie at first
Everything you put in got a notable though right?
All but the deathrattle skeletons
thats so cool
Might have to steal your yellow for my wrecka crew
I expected you to get at least one pin
Patrol box Acquired, the next few months are gunna be awesome
now if I could just get my hands on more Centaurs 
Today, I wondered why the siege cannon is more powerful than the basilisk, even though they're the same cannon, just one on tracks...
...on the table
and I like your alchemist
I like to think after Ive completed my infantry regiment, a Artillery platoon would be next. The only questions I have is, mechanized or not? and how many mor OOP models It will take?
Tiny Legends has great resin Krieg bits, I would have gone for the skulls mask set, but I didnt want have to have a bunch of spares I may or my not use
I don’t really have the option to order a lot of those things (I think my avatar pretty much says where I’m from).
So lately I’ve been thinking about getting a 3D printer — to make my own custom regiment :)
Since I know a bit of Blender and I’m learning it...
Right now I’m thinking about how to put together a mechanized infantry roster...
In the 1000-point format a real mechanized infantry platoon plus a tank section fits perfectly.
That’s 3 Chimeras (with 3 infantry squads) + 2 Leman Russes and a Hydra.
"Some nights, I pray for the guy who first figured out you can take a spare sentinel cockpit and turn it into basically an underhive rickshaw. I mean, he's probably a servitor now, right? You started seeing these pop up a bunch after the last big refit-legs break down more than engines, and the cockpit frame on the new models is directly welded to the engine compartment, so a lot of regiments wind up with a bunch of spares lying around and just begging for someone to do something like this. Anyway, if these are really tech heresy, how come the enginseers agree to build them so often?"

(My conversion finally got approved for the grand narrative this year, so I took a nicer picture of it)
Pretty easy, imp fist contrast>outline the panels with 3:1 contrast medium and snakebite leather>highlight the center of the panels with yriel yellow, using it to feather the tide marks made by the snakebite leather mix>highlight again with flash gitz
Add dings, chipping and rust as you see fit
First Commander
Commisar is finishedd
I have been working my way towards a 3D printer. It would save a lot of money in the long run, and is a great way to get things that are rare and OOP. I have no experience with Blender so I am unconfident in my abilities to not fuck it up.
"You wouldn't paint thigh highs and long gloves on your neurolictor."
I like Kronos
I'll fix the carapace later
Oh no
Raaaaah I love rolling a feel no pain against a shadowsword volcano canon
Yeah this anti titan cannon?
No damage
Strength 24 and ap 5 btw
And 12D
And you rolled 12 feel no pain successes?!
No
But enough to survive
Instead of 12dmg I only took 7
The dice love me
(They have been fucking me over the entire game up until now)
He he, well, congrats
How many points did you play with a shadow sword in play?
2k
He’s Astra militarum
With
A whopping 5 infantry models
Tank Spam
A few ignored rules about not being allowed to have repeated stuff too much etc
Im playing the most so golden banana boys
As solar watch
Tank spam I get, but a shadowsword is almost a quarter of his points 😆
Yeah
His main piece
Leading the pack
Not actually cause it’s not his warlord but it basically is
Ended up loosing by 4 points
But it was a fun game
Sacrificed my own tank and my dreadnaught to kill his shadowsword
The tanks ended up being way to tanky to get defeated
A few homebrew rules
Like the volcano cannon hitting on 2+
And my custodes being able to shoot while I’m engagement range
And some other stuff
10000 years too early to save atoma
nice model photography 😄
I've seen a lot of people do conversions for Cadre Fireblades, I think I'm gonna put a shield from a battlesuit and a pulse pistol on mine
My first space marine!
Now I'll highlight it with evil sunz but wanted to take the pic incase that ruins it
looks great!
As a first marine very nice
Ty ty
What colour did you use for the undersuit it's a nice black
I’m building some Jump Pack Assault Marines and wanted to add a bit of flair. I have some Cadian Upgrades lying around so I wanted to use a Crouching Cadian watching the Jump Sergeant jump in. Is that ok to do?
Your models, go nuts. If someone has a problem with it they can get fucked
Oh no I thought it’d be some rules bs
I was also planning on making a Devastator team with five Heavy Bolters, but I don’t think I can…
wysiwyg is gone iirc
What?
wysiwyg
What You See Is What You Get
it used to be a rule but I cant find it anywhere anymore
basically what you see on the model is what it has equipped
so if they had a plasma, it could only ever be a plasma
Five Heavy Bolters is plausible?
yeah
Oh hell yeah
Lmao
I wasn’t gonna put any Heavy Bolters on my Intercessors anyway, so I can stock pile then
Avitus would be proud
Who am I kidding no he wouldn’t.
Fun comparison, Orks 2 years apart
Speed paint Grim Black, I like using both Citadel and SP just to get a easy base
Finally home after a good rest, got a couple better pics of the entries that managed to grab something
Wrecka krew all done! Just in time for orktober
Wizzywig was never an official rule iirc it was more of like a mindset
I like doing wizzywig but I don't demand that my opponents adhere to it, just that they specify what has what and stick to their story
no it was an official tournament rule
Eh that's a distinction, I'm sure it's true because I think there are a lot of cheaters/wannabe cheaters at tournaments. I bet it mattered a lot more when you had to pay points for war gear options though.
it did matter a lot, I remember people complaining about getting DQed when they had the wrong magazine in the bolter for the wargear they picked
That stuff didn't disappear for the most part though, just doesn't have a point value attached to it. I have no interest in competitive format 40k anyway (let alone 10th edition on its own)
goes hard
It was and often still is a rule for official tournaments. It's not printed in the core book but it's a common demand at GT level play
Outside of that
Most people just want to know what models have different weapons
If the guy with a flamer actually has a plasma who gives a shit
Thanks!
Trying my hand at necrons, these are both piss easy and very hard all at the same time
Giving a dumbass ork two hammers is so funny
I....didn't even think this was possible
I've been out orked
Eobard, Deathbringer, Fallen Angel.
Little mini I commissioned from a fella named theknightforge on insta
That's really sweet damn
Really cool green stuff work.
What a great day to start painting hierotek circle, I really hope that no nerfs are coming that make them absolutely unplayable
@brisk vapor how'd the GD go?
Pretty decently
oh huge I missed that message
4 notables is fuckin crazy though well done
I was following Cerberus too and he got 2 commended's and a notable iirc for his work
that dread is still incredible
I mean the fact it got noticed/awarded at all with the quality of painters these days is some really impressive work!
total segue but I recently got my hands on Ahriman and I'm debating how to subassemble him
I was thinking keeping the head, arms and base separate
but he's a tommy two-cloaks o im torn on maybe even keeping his body split in half to do both cloak pieces nicely
Do they give a score breakdown at all? I know GD can be rather shady ish
Not really but this year was quite clear on who should win also won
And I have 100% trust on Lappat for fair judging
I hate this part that I assume is an Air Intake because it gets in the way of the antennas
Finishing off my 10 colour practice marine set with a Son of Ares
The bubblegum marine def rad as hell
Thanks that was a suggestion from my friend in Australia, she wanted a "fabulous marine."
Also is that a howling griffon in the wild I spot
Yep!
Been thinking of making one using some AoS armour pieces like I’m doing with a space wolf in progress
Oh that's cool
Was going off just what I saw for art online, debating what great company I wanna put em in debating Sons of Morkai or Bloodmaws
That is a cool piece e of art
That a weenie?
Somehow the left looks like he's flipping us the bird 😆 awesome work with the right banner.
Thank ye :D
Yes
All done, Captain Antargo, Blood Angels 3rd Company
Nice
Acquired some terminators as well now. Making use of the Deathwing bits I have from me DA upgrades
Gonna try molding a bit of a robe thing for em for cool and to cover up some of the ugly bits
Dunno how but might try molding some chainmail looking bits to add to the knightly vibe
Smaller than I expected
Bigger than I expected
Are there any space marine boxes where they holding their chain sword in their right hand? Wanna make a foo with dual chain swords at some point
Some old firsborn kits had it but it was pretty rare.
Dang nabbit
firstborn vanguard vets got em
youll get some nice helmets too
the chainswords will probably look a little mismatched though
i mean i guess you could just lop off the chainsword bit or any other right handed melee weapon and convert it by replacing it with a newer one
but at that point i guess you could just chop a heavy bolt pistol off and pop on a chainsword
no extra kit needed
Oooo that’s a good idea actually may try that instead
Just putty the hand a titch so he’s not holding a sword with a nonexistent trigger
If you need a sub for models more in stock you can kinda use the chainswords in the Scout Squad box on Assault Ints w/Jump Packs
And multiple tacticus boxes feature at least 1 first born helmet option on their sprues, so just keep a lookout as you build
I got the jump pack dudes that’s why I was wondering if they had right handed ones lol,, been debating acquire scouts though
Rogue Trader and Inquisitor power couple assembly completed!
The Scouts box chainswords also have little extra designs on each one too, making each one a lil different
thats tuff
First try kitbashing with green stuff
Necron intern
So a cryptek walks into the bar, and the bartender asks them: “Why the long face?”
I’ll see myself out lmao.
Looks great though! 
Another angel of death done
lookin solid
Super clean love that
(Also my favourite model in the KT)
im not entirely sold on how i did the smoke nade but i wanted to try something else out
So I got my first dreadnaught for my first army yall. they're just basic UltraMarines butttt.... When painting do I start with Blue or Silver?
I'd send a picture but it won't let me. Its a Redemptor Dreadnaught
They don't have to be ultramarines unless that's what you want.
I've already made most my ultra marines. I'm just curious on the dreadnaught
Cleannnn,, which chapter is this? It is a very nice scheme
a homebrew
Very nice
Funny story actually...
:D
Yours is very nice
i think i saw this dude before
i wish i had helmet spures
i dont like the tacticus heads
i find it hard to give them definition with darker colours
Back at it with these guys, the enamel mud paints had gone bad and they dried glossy and without much texture so I've been struggling to find motivation to properly finish these. Now I've brushed on a good coat of matt varnish to see if that helps at all with the glossiness and will see tomorrow if any further work needs to be done
3 boxes of Chaos are mine a Tactical Squad with Mk.III armour,a Contemptor Dreadnought and a Heldrake
Seems like they passed the heldrake curse on to you
WIP but finally started to tackle a model I was scared of
Looks sick af
Breastie, beasty, besty? 🤔
i am sooooooooo happy with how the rust came out
couple of coats of Typhus corrosion over an unpainted blade, then gryph-hound orange over it
Green glow on the plasma pistol!!!
Nahhhh I’m fine with it as it is
quick tabletop question I'm asking for a friend, neither of us know tabletop mechanics lmfao
we know there are allying rules to have different factions tag into an army, or at least there were at a point in the past. Can a knight tag into a space marine list? 😖
You can they are considered free blades
Just they wouldn't be same color is all
Knights don't attach themselves to space marines but they will fight along side them
But knights will only do it if it is a common foe. Once the enemy is dead then they leave
Also I believe it takes in fact what is the morals of that space marines chapter. Is it bunch of thieves or something along those lines the knight may be skeptical
i am painting my brood brothers for a tournament on the 30th!!
Short answer, yes. Here’s the exact wording for it
Same applies to chaos, just obviously swap the imperium keyword for chaos and imperial knight for chaos knight :D
pops a headshot from 1,000 meters
Refuses to elaborate
Leaves
Gaming grandpa just got a 1,100m headshot in battlefield 6, so really your deathmarks accomplishment isn't that much.
dies to a one armed salamander
I thought he was showing the middle finger ngl
i could do the funniest thing with green stuff
Yes but they don't get the same benefits as they would in a normal knights army
Question: Would it be silly to make a Guard army and paint them all a singular green and call them my 'Army Men'? 😄
Peak!
paint your guys however you want they're your army
would it be silly? maybe
woiuld it be funny? Absolutely
Heck yea
Guys, how does this Dark Angel look? Should I make green darker for next ones? I am kinda like this bright green I got, but not sure if it lore accurate
He looks fantastic, really doesn't matter on the 'lore accuracy' IMO
he has the DA emblems on him, he's very clearly one of the Lion's sons
your highlight work and texture is really pleasing
Yeah I agree very good
I refer you back to the statement I made earlier
If you were aiming for pre-heresy colours then you'd definitely want to darken him down, with their 'green so dark it could be confused for black' armour
but for a current era son of the lion? this is pretty much perfect
I really like the texture on the sword blade
Calling these thick boys done, not too fond of the basing but at least it isn't glossy any more. Lots of mistakes in them but it's an army project so I'll let them pass 
Nice terminators right?
Ye, Cataphactii type
Hell yeah 
Making a small sons of Horus army to display in the corner of my room
Heldrake is for my mother since she likes dragons and I want to give her something for Christmas
The best Christmas gift right there. 
Plus I wanted to paint one since space marine 2 anyway
Win win
Christmas is probably gonna be an Iron Halo battleforce so my Blood Ravens get some brand new toys
helloguys
i need to remove a models head
is there a safe technique
ive looked online and theres a few different ones
thanks 
Depends on a lot of factors but generally there isnt a great way
Which model?
vespid stingwing
i exchanged two non interchangeable heads by accident
strain leader and vespid warrior
put the strain leaders head on a model where you basically cant add the wings with this head

i have not painted in years but i can repost my instagram pictures
these were part of my dad's squad so he finished the bases later
rogue trader tan plastic bolters i sanded down and glued together 
dorm minis
unassembled tau commander is upset with me
harlequin i still haven't finished
picture from 2019, i did touch it up a little last year and then got stuck again
warhammer not 40k
I assure you the mods don't mind what minis you post here haha

Is that freehand on the shield? Looks awesome
Any recommendations for kits with alot of explosives in them?
like loose bombs and grenades? or just explosive weapons
bombs and grenades
hm, maybe kreig combat engineers? Tempestus scions and aquilons have a fair amount of grenades as well. The aquilons come with a melta bomb. if youre just looking for bits then you might do with looking at bits sellers
i love loose bombs and also loose grenades
Had a weird ass dream - dreamt up 11th edition
Space marines vs Tau box - a load of Tyrannic War Vet themed minis with dead bug bits on them like the Phobos guy from Leviathan as well as a kitbash box of the same
Tau side was a full vespid range - loads of new units similar to what the kroot got
What huffin plastic glue does to a person
Who won?
I iddn't get that far
my brain was cooking though it had a load of other vespid shapes
basically a good chunk of the modern tyranid line but vespids
deathleaper, biovore/pyrovore
I like how even in your dreams the space marines are getting more new models
the next edition is gonna be space marines vs the lost and the damned traitor guardsmen legion 
whhy does this piece of art for Ahriman make him look like he's got huge naturals
Gawd damn your right
The lord of change does devious things
because he does have huge naturals
Blood angels have arrived, my first proper attempt at a space marine army. Just some sanguinary guard to finish and then I've painted everything I have.
Super nice love how bright the red is
Peak character design
Orlock wreckers have c4
As for grenades themselves, the new Emperor's Children range has tons of hallucinogen grenades (and combat stims, for that matter), Kasrkin have armored hands throwing grenades (the normal guard kit does too if you want a slimmer hand), the genestealer cults truck (I think the big one but I forget what it's called) has a whole demolitions kit full of bombs, and the atlan jackals have dynamite.
You can also find melta bombs in a couple space marine firstborn kits, but I forget specifically which, I just have a few in my bits box
Is there a specific faction this is for/type of bomb you want? 40k has a ton of variety in munitions.
put some nurgles rot on some of the smaller details, nearly gave up painting but i stuck with it lol
Almost game accurate Arbites. Fatshark when are you gonna add scoped shotpistol
Not sure if I posted this before but Im posting it now
One hell of a promotion
