Why not start with a grey primer?

I know of the pink method, it’s just two reasons, I like how it ends up looking after, and cause there’s already an imperial fist player at the lgs so I wanna make sure my MM looks different enough

The Iron Ballad is a rowdy Warhammer 40K inspired folk song about Barabas Dantioch, the loyalist Iron Warrior who refused to follow Perturabo and Horus into treachery.

Dantioch was a Warsmith of the Iron Warriors during the Horus Heresy. After being aged and ruined by the Hrud, abandoned by his Primarch, and later confronted by traitor brothers...

Need some help regarding which Paint should I get that is the same color as Soviet Union Style Uniforms for Jurgen model? Will Castellan Green work or Creed Camo?

this set has the "Russian Uniform" paint which is quite accurate

will the castellan green work?

They don't do direct equivalents

Loren Forest could be worth a look?

In the books he makes nurglings look clean

What does piss me off about the model is for one that Cain kinda looks like sun wukong and that the hole on the melta is slightly off center

soft tusk
#

I hope when he comes to tabletop he gets something similar to the sister of silence ability

#

Just maybe a 4 or 5 up fnp

#

Instead of a 3

#

Or maybe something where he forces psykers to do battle shock tests

#

Also similar to the SoS

#

Or debuffs them in another way

Since this question has about a million answers online

Any recommendations for airbrush primers

#

I tend to lean more towards grey primers than black though since I like using contrasts

brisk vapor
#

if you have proper ventilation and don't mind enamels, Mr. Hobby surfacer is the GOAT

#

I don't have the adequate ventilation so I just use vallejo polyurethane

#

but not the white or grey ones, white is terrible for what I've heard

#

don't know about the grey one

faint star
#

Doesn't seem like Mr Hobby is available easily in the UK

#

Maybe I just bite the bullet and go black with a heavy zenithal

brisk vapor
#

I'd try and find the Mr. Hobby products, sounds odd that there wouldn't be any one selling them, they're very much liked after all

try Mr. Surfacer or something

Also meant to ask, those "teeth" on the jet pack are they supposed to be metal or actual teeth? It's hard to tell with chaos

depends

tbh it's always something tricky to figure out

until GW released an IW schemed warpsmith I had no idea how to paint the exhaust chimneys on the dude's backpack

IW would be metal while emperors children actual teeth for example

# faint star Any recommendations for airbrush primers

I use golden high flow burnt umber specifically the burnt umber, sometimes the raw umber not the carbon black. Its more durable and paint goes over it better than every airbrush primer in the hobby market, its also cheaper too. I have some lab tests if youre curious about this too

I once shipped a sword from Wisconsin to the UK and I had to sit through it being imported to the UK, making it through customs fine, then being kept by FedEx cause they "don't ship weapons", then being sent back on a plane to the US, only for me to have to ship it again using DHL or some other company that shipped it just fine.

Complete waste of time that I had to wait for them to ship it here and back when I could have been getting another carrier to take it.

apply thinner paint in more layers and it will look smoother
you're already doing alright on the gradient but maybe watch some blending tutorials
throw some bright highlights in those lines to make them pop (usually necrons you'll want to pick an "energy palette" with a base glow color and make a few shades of it, i typically put the brightest color in those indents and at the center of glowing orbs and surround them with darker shades)

Some examples of mine (im no expert)

mint dove
#

I've been painting this model for almost 10 hours 😭

#

Finally done, just need to finish the base

pale pelican
#

if you fill that at least with some dark purples and/or blacks, it'll create a lot more visual intrest.

#

and if you really want to nitpick, a small blackline between the bottom of the pauldrons and the arms would fix up those patches of grey

Just started on the EC and in the tormentors I noticed it comes with 2 plasma and 2 melta which the build manual has the whole <2 for both. So am I limited to (up to) 2 of either or can I field all 4?

For that matter does it matter how many I field or with the action be the same so long as I have one?

@grizzled swan If ya fancy abhumans, Bullgryns seem like they'll be a really strong unit now

What with their points increase being quite low and holding objectives being more important now

I have 3 bullgryns(well built like ogryns cuz i prefer the look) and had some sucess in 8th with them

blast rule i love but I'm just sad i won't be able to get 120 guardsman so easy on the field

#

btw I'm scared for the orks and chaos space marines they look like they're not in a happy place

lament nymph
#

I'm just relieved we got 5 point guardsmen. It probably won't be the best, but seems like 100+ guardsmen will still be fieldable (which is great since it's the coolest way to play IG) :)
But yeah, Orks are looking a bit rough the poor ladz.

Still pretty silly (but maybe appropriately fluffy) that Guardsmen and Grots are as costly

did they change again?

i saw in 9e leaks they were 7ppm

Aren't Cultists one extra point as they can get Chaos Icon buffs?

Grots 3ppm-5ppm, Boyz 7ppm-8ppm me thinkz

looks like you're right

still a hefty increase just for grots

A Word of warning from the Ordo Malleus. If you want a shot at power, sure, go ahead, put your trust in a daemon.
But do not be surprised when they come out on top, after all, the daemon will always make you feel like you’re in control.
When the truth is you are nothing more than a pawn in their schemes.

That and I am sure you don’t want us to come knocking at your door.

proud gorge
#

a daemon on top? 😳

really though, trusting a daemon is a one way ticket to an early death.

@sage matrix that is really good man!!

@dusk osprey you mean convert to farsight enclave or make a separate army ?

#

I was thinking of making a contrasting color army, either night lords or a cooler blue color faction

#

Or go green with orks xD

dusk osprey

Convert to farsight. I think the paintjob would be cool, and there'd definitely be room to slap a railgun on instead of a battle cannon.
