What a nice one 🙂

low seal
#

Thank you!

#

My army is big on infantry with tank and bullgryn support

#

I tend to have a big conscript blob supported by psykers and bullgryn

ancient goblet
plush swift
#

very nice

ancient goblet
#

Thank you

mystic panther
#

how long did it take?

ancient goblet
#

I think Shrike was about 4 days, and the apothacary was a couple of days as I had to convert him too, Luetenant was about a days worth of work, I try not to rush things though, but I'm trying to get a good size force done

mystic panther
#

time well spent

#

they're most excllent

ancient goblet
#

Thank you, I might have photos of some others on my phone but I've got Indomitus to paint too and some more outriders and Assault marines, and a gladiator to do also for it all. so much to do 😆

mystic panther
#

I've got Skitarii to prime, so you're doing better than me

ancient goblet
#

What Forge World you thinking of doing them as?

mystic panther
#

probably going to be very boring and do Mars

#

you know, classic red and gun metal, lots of washes

ancient goblet
#

Nice, nothing wrong with classic lads, Cawl would be pleased

mystic panther
#

I just need to finish, building them

#

knowing my luck, they'll make a new skirtarii kit with volkite guns when the 9th ed admech codex drops and I'll be delayed even more

edgy cipher
#

Ah ?

#

I wanted to make admech my second army

#

Good moment to get some infos them

ancient goblet
#

That would be sick, but yea, I get you, it would be a small setback, nothing wrong with having more and more model opotions

mystic panther
#

I was also thinking of subbing Kastellen robots with the Castellax models from forge world, about the same size, and better looking, but will need some saving up

#

be awesome to get legio cybernetica backing to 40K but I understand if that won't happen

#

but hey, if I can hit 2000 pts fully painted one day, I'll be happy

ancient goblet
#

like Tzeentch says: 'Things might change'

#

Yea, It took me 7 years to get 8000 points of Drukhari painting so i get you

mystic panther
#

don't talk to me about Tzeench, Alpha Legion keep whispering their dark temptations into my mind every now and then, so badly want a warband of the Hydra

ooh those look fantastic

wind juniper
#

oooh what chapter have you made them

ancient goblet
#

Raven Guard

wind juniper
#

cool, I saw the black and red and though death company (flesh tearer player so blacks and reds are all I really use)

ancient goblet
#

Yea, i get you. I didn't want to use white too much, only for helmets and Shrike's powerclaws, so dark red was the way as they are 3rd company

wind juniper
#

Yea I get that, I have used silver a lot more than gold for a lot of things, like sanginary guard

ancient goblet
#

Cool, Blood Angels are really cool, Just never have done any....yet

wind juniper
#

I am not much a fan of blood angels, their successors are a lot cooler

ancient goblet
#

lamenters... 😆

wind juniper
#

no, flesh tearers, my favourite lore in 40k

mystic panther
#

their big boss carries the bigger chainsword, I wouldn't want to argue with Seth unless I'm behind 10 people, a really thick wall of plasteel and about fifty feet up

wind juniper
#

Well in a story, he has gone toe to toe with an evissor assassin and won, then broke down a bulkhead door with his bare hands

#

so I don't think even that would make you safe

mystic panther
#

hence the extra height

#

it will give me a headstart

wind juniper
#

Even then, he would get to you

pulsar cargo
#

not quite as powerful as sly marbo though

mystic panther
#

I know he'd punch his way up the wall, probably with his eviscerator clenced between his teeth

#

true, Sly can go back into reserves, which means he can fly

mystic panther
#

I really need to get back to painting

pulsar cargo
#

what u got to paint?

mystic panther
#

well I have a techpriest, to start with

#

two skirtarii squads, to build
and the rest of the cohort to paint

pulsar cargo
#

oof

#

all built though?

mystic panther
#

save for the two squads I bourght like, a month ago, yeah

pulsar cargo
#

nice

#

i have a half built valkyrie ive procrastinated for a while now

#

coz u gotta paint the interior before you can finish it

mystic panther
#

I have an unbuilt Valk, because I am scared of ruining it

pulsar cargo
#

how so?

mystic panther
#

I tried prepainting things on the sprue before once, it didn't end well

pulsar cargo
#

oh i built as much as i could

#

and ill just spray the like 5 chunks and paint them

mystic panther
#

I techincally have two Valks

pulsar cargo
#

then glue them together

mystic panther
#

I still don't know why I think I can get a Stratoraptor

dusk hill
#

Assembling vehicles is way easier than it looks imo

pulsar cargo
#

you dont know pain till u get a forgeworld one

dusk hill
#

just gotta make sure to use hella glue. Until you really know what ur doing it's better that the seams are a bit lumpy but still like, firmly connected, than otherwise

#

resin scares me so i avoid forgeworld like the plague tbh

proud gorge
#

I'm broke so I avoid it all

dusk hill
#

a wise decision

proud gorge
#

university life YEP

pulsar cargo
#

luckily the resin wasnt as badly warped as some others

dusk hill
#

ooh that looks great! i love how weathered the metal looks

pulsar cargo
#

thanks! quarantine was good for painting stuff

mystic panther
#

I've worked through most of my primed stuff thanks to not being allowed outside

#

but then I made the mistake of buying more stuff with money I had saved up because I wasn't going to see my friends

dusk hill
#

tbh I don't have the attention span for like, full armies or anything

pulsar cargo
#

no 40k player ever has a fully painted army, thats the truth

dusk hill
#

I have way more fun with single characters or whatever

mystic panther
#

upside, the skitarii shaped box in my pile of shame is gone

#

it's just a skitarii shaped horde of grey at the moment

dusk hill
#

progress!

#

skitarii do take a while to paint tbh

#

like, if you wanna include all the lil details

mystic panther
#

I have one really nicely painted Magos though

pulsar cargo
dusk hill
#

alas i only have one pot of gold paint

#

i would need like five

pulsar cargo
dusk hill
#

nah I just stick to killteam tho

pulsar cargo
#

oh good idea

dusk hill
#

Only need like 10~ models per squad

mystic panther
#

make it six, and prepare for people to make the memes

timber pine
mystic panther
#

I kind of want one squad, but I hate gold

timber pine
#

then paint em silver with black cloaks

pulsar cargo
dusk hill
#

silver custodes would be optimal tbh

#

Plus I do really like SoS

timber pine
#

sisters play nicely i used to play em in killteam but i like my rubrics more

pulsar cargo
#

inquisition are a good army for low modelcount too..... but im not entirely sure if they still exist

ancient goblet
#

Runelord brass undercoat, then drybrush stormhost silver, then thinned wash with Iyanden yellow contrast does good gold quickly

timber pine
#

they got 11 kits

dusk hill
#

I v much haven't looked into using contrast stuff yet

mystic panther
#

which ones are the guys who hid in the sub-sub-basement and keep the forbidden tech from escaping?

dusk hill
#

probs should

timber pine
#

contrast is great but flawed

ancient goblet
#

using them as washes and glazes is really effective way to use contrast

timber pine
#

the contrast black is more like thicc nuln oil

dusk hill
#

ye that's what i've heard

timber pine
#

contrast red and brown are great though

#

contrast yellow and orange are aight

#

i mostly use the contrast skin tone cus lazyness

pulsar cargo
#

depends what material you are trying to emulate too, using green contrast for cadian flak armour always comes out looking weird

ancient goblet
#

yea, I was at warhammer fest when we lauched them

timber pine
#

also mettalics suck on contrast primer its a pain to get right

dusk hill
#

i imagine it's best for like, not-flat surfaces? So faces and super ornamented armour and stuff

#

if ur using it as a weird wash-ish thing

ancient goblet
#

its why the one thick coat doesn't work as it just pools, but using them as washes and colour pick ups works a treat

timber pine
#

contrast works wonders on stuff like tyranids, sylvaneth, seraphon, nighthaunt

ancient goblet
pulsar cargo
#

its got a weird pooling/glossy effect too, so on deathguard, tyranids, nurgle daemons etc. it can look fantastic

ancient goblet
#

but you can put contrast in an airbrush, so the colour does match on larger flats

dusk hill
#

yea non flat things

#

I do highkey need to get an airbrush eventually

timber pine
#

i shall never get an airbrush i'd forget to clean it

ancient goblet
#

same, I have a drukhari tantalus to paint

timber pine
#

don't remind me of painting 60 kabalites i still got scars mentally and physically

mystic panther
#

do you think the little pointy eared bastards giggle every time you prick your finger on their spikes?

pulsar cargo
#

probably

#

i remember once me and my bro were setting up a game

#

and his great unclean one (nurgle vs guard)

#

lost one of his arms

#

for no reason

#

it literally just fell off

#

he got a blessing of nurgle before the game even began

mystic panther
#

he probably didn't need that arm

ancient goblet
mystic panther
#

I'd be concerned if my models moaned every time I shouted an expletive

ancient goblet
#

Slaanesh is watching

mystic panther
#

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a demon fulgrim model

timber pine
#

you mean sigvald

mystic panther
#

no no, the annoying one who's now half snake and trying too hard to be his brother

crisp forge
#

They actually kitbased that

#

lol

#

added morathi's snake body below it

#

its great

mystic panther
#

very clever

#

oh sod, you just reminded me I have a demon to build to

crisp forge
#

hehehe

timber pine
#

they photoshopped hes not out yet

mystic panther
#

snake Morathi didn't go together properly for me

#

I'm wondering if I'm going to struggle with the keeper of secrets

crisp forge
#

aaaaa I see

mystic panther
#

it's my own fault, her skirt didn't go on properly, the body went swimmingly

ancient goblet
#

When I built one, the skirt went on fine for me, but the rest of the cloth was fiddly

#

@hoary ermine is that a kitbash?

hoary ermine
#

Yep

#

ive smoothened it out with greenstuff at this point

#

the legs the master of possession?

hoary ermine

yep.

#

and top is primaris tech marine? cool stuff

hoary ermine
#

its a non-traitor world eater

#

long story short, diorama

ancient goblet
hoary ermine
#

Im waiting for another few bits to arrive

#

still unsure if i should give him a meteor hammer, a long axe or a hammer

ancient goblet
#

axe sounds cool

pulsar cargo
#

do u have a preference for what looks cool?

#

meteor hammer sounds cool

hoary ermine
#

well

#

its more that im weighing whats logical VS whats cool

#

a thunder hammer is nice, a meteor hammer is a uh heavy steel ball on a chain and a long axe is just a 2 handed chainaxe instead of a hammah

#

Axes were very often used by the WE and meteor hammers are unique to them

ancient goblet
#

yea, the meteor hammer would be really cool then

#

maybe a double ended one

low seal
#

It looks good my dude

Looks nice but maybe they're a bit too high unless you want to gun down someone from above lmao

#

Other than that, I like how they fit the backpack

hoary ermine
#

theyre nice and CHUNK

#

also those guns are on servo arms

dawn magnet
#

Good job, they fit pretty nicely on those servo arms

hoary ermine

Unintentional doom referance

double arms

hoary ermine
#

well you see

#

O

#

Did not realize that

XD

hoary ermine
#

not shown right now are 2 servo claws that will go under his normal arms

#

its a techmarine with a short fuse

#

and possibly a meteor hammer

#

Like, this man is a custom character for a diorama im building

every one of my friends is getting a model they get to customize, theyre all firstborn sons except for2

#

Truescaling 8 marines is hard

clever glade
#

pretty much 1 year straight of daily drawing, and the improvement that comes with it (btw not saying either is particulairly amazing just that one's an obvious improvement)

Before the first drawing I hadn't really been drawing daily, and I improved much better after getting to a strict routine

#

We have a priestess that like to charge with a power hammer i would say it is close enough

#

And really nice work with that image

edgy cipher
#

Real great image yes

#

But yeah we have a priestess its close enough

#

The issue here is the narrative : game says we are convicts, SoB are never convicts

Progress on my black ork for bloodbowl

if anyone cares about a new remake on an old ork

#

@proud gorge so by your name, i guess you like the 40k pop funkos? (I hope or this is awkward) 😛

proud gorge
#

it's very much so a joke name referring to K-pop but 40k

#

(I also don't know shit about K-pop outside all the participants being good at dancing and bizarrely consistently good looking)

ancient goblet
#

ah boo, awkward moment XD

proud gorge
#

😄

plush swift
#

40kpop actually happened

proud gorge
#

I have a MIGHTY need

plush swift
#

i went into the kpop party venue on a con with my boys (inquisitor + 2 DKoK guardsmen)

ancient goblet
#

I mean, caramelldansen Marines is cute so

plush swift
#

we lasted... 17 minutes

ancient goblet
#

long than I could so

plush swift
#

then the guardsmen began to get heatstroke

#

we're all quite fit but dancing in those costumes was just hard

ancient goblet
#

yea, I have done Steampunk in summer so I understand cosplays at cons, its hot at cons without the layers and foam on

plush swift
#

i can run around the hills in my witch hunter costume with gloves and half a fox on my shoulders

#

but this was an enclosed venue

#

oxygen on underhive levels

#

population density similar

ancient goblet
#

yea, its not the best place indoors

#

Last year, I worked Warhammerfest and it was a massive venue but it was hot as hell in there, so many cosplayers just melting from the heat

plush swift
#

yeah

ancient goblet
#

Dorn gave up after the first day

plush swift
#

this was in march, but we had to go outdoors after approx 30 minutes inside

ancient goblet
#

yea, don't blame you

plush swift
#

poor lad just gave up

ancient goblet
#

RIP

plush swift
#

fell in the line of duty, he served the Emperor well

ancient goblet
#

Now that is something I would pay to see

plush swift
#

i have a video

ancient goblet

let's see if the upload will work like this

#

it's too big and i don't have nitro

I was looking for a photo of a Tau stealthsuit cosplay from last year...

BUST OUT THE MOVES FOR THE EMPEROR

ancient goblet
#

there we are

plush swift
#

and by the throne they did

#

they are kriegers after all so a rhythm not dictated by a drum and a sergeant shouting left, right, left, right is alien to them

One of the few images of me I don’t hate

#

Me when I just got my hat, I had my work uniform on under it also

I was staring down my roommate for heresy

so, the hair is REALLY important

plush swift

you're looking pretty baller there, my man

plush swift
nova hinge

Yes

rotund harness
#

I make the joke I am a commissar for a midguadian regiment since I have a bears

proud gorge
#

right this reminds me I owe Liecht and landschneckt cosplay at some point

plush swift
#

different lighting and about a 4kg difference between the first and second pic too (lighter on the white hair one)

plush swift

#

And I'd call it a "priest hair" or something. It makes likely everything looks worse.

which one do you mean now

but both are my inquisitor costume

the ginger one or the white one lol

nova hinge
rotund harness
#

I got the chest plate to still make and the Aquila to add on the hat. I really need to work on the plasma pistol and I’m debating power fist or power sword

plush swift
#

power sword

#

easier to remove on cons and shit

nova hinge
plush swift
#

yeah, when i had a bob cut i would trim my own bangs

#

sometimes it looked longer when wet than it turned out to be dry.

rotund harness
#

I know how to make a working power fist with movable fingers but that’s a lot of work

nova hinge
#

I thought the white haired one is for fantasy, not 40k

rotund harness
#

I might do the power axe since, midguardians

plush swift
#

it's adaptable

#

and without the corset

#

i didn't have it then

#

and now i need to have it refitted because i've lost weight and it's too big

nova hinge
#

So, was that VR was heresy? Or...?

plush swift
#

no, i purged a shiload of aliens

#

job well done

#

What are those midguardians that the commissar talk about?

plush swift

Aaahh, those which planet got destroyed right, now i remember

Yeah, tho a lot of the regiments are still around

nova hinge
#

No rice for you

#

Damn magnus, why midguard though?

plush swift
#

@rotund harness methinks you need more jewelry though

rotund harness
#

I haven’t had time to do more with it

plush swift
#

fair

nova hinge
#

Do like North Korean high ranks

rotund harness
#

And I do wear more jewelry but work also makes it harder to get more

plush swift
#

how come

rotund harness
#

Security

green cave
#

It is the name used for terra in nordic mythology

plush swift
#

ahh

#

shit yeah i worked in a warehouse

#

and i had to take all my jewelry off before entering

#

and put it in a locker

rotund harness
#

Warehouse I worked didn’t care about jewelry, work usually doesn’t depending on site

plush swift
#

i usually wear 4 rings, 3 bracelets and 5 necklaces. minimum. those are just the ones i don't take off.

rotund harness
#

I got two rings and 3 pricings

#

One is a skill ring

plush swift
#

nice

rotund harness
#

It fits the look

plush swift
proud gorge
#

emphasis on the plural I see

rotund harness
#

I have a necklace on but I need to upgrade the chain real bad

plush swift
#

you know where you can get nice, thick, solid non-rusting chains?

nova hinge
green cave
plush swift
#

not really? i wear also many layers, lots of leather or wool and heavy boots so the rest of the outfit feels heavier

nova hinge
plush swift
#

they're all christian crosses except for the ankh

green cave
#

It seems there is even an egyptian ankh

rotund harness
#

My commissar jacket is pretty heavy being wool (it’s the GW official one) so I don’t notice how heavy stuff is

plush swift
#

yeah, and you get used to it if you wear stuff like that

rotund harness
#

Texas summers are horrible wearing that jacket

plush swift
#

i kinda want to do a krieg commissar cosplay too and i've been meaning to make my own dolman

#

model it either after napoleonic era hussars, or after the leib hussaren n.1 regiment

rotund harness
#

I prefer the open chest plate like raine

green cave
#

Jeez, celtic, orthodox, german and spanish style and even the style of a fransciscan order of monks

rotund harness
plush swift
#

sexy

rotund harness
#

I’m thinking of doing a plate like it

plush swift
#

but i like an emphasis on the small waist

rotund harness
#

That would look great

plush swift
#

and i already have riding breeches

rotund harness
#

I need to make some shine guards, and figure out if I will just use my causal cargo pants or my work ones with the outfit

plush swift
#

for casual wear. it gets cold here in winter, i need wool pants.

nova hinge
#

Imagine you have to wear those in Summer of East Asia. You will cooked to death

plush swift
#

i wear them in summer too

#

i don't fear heat

nova hinge
plush swift
#

i'm half balkan and can't be harmed by temperatures below 40C

rotund harness
#

I wore my commissar jacket last year in july here in texas, if it wasn’t for the con being inside I would roast

nova hinge
plush swift
#

yeah, the pic with the ginger hair and the book was taken in july lol

#

on a larp

nova hinge
#

You never experienced heat + extreme humidity, don't you?

plush swift
#

just humidity, not extreme

#

but there's nothing i hate as much as the sun

#

so regardless of the weather

#

you won't see me without long pants and at least elbow length sleeves. and a high collar

rotund harness
#

I prefer warmer weather personally, I would hibernate in the winter if I could

nova hinge
#

Bloody hell, why Europe has beter weathers?

proud gorge
plush swift
#

same, good tolerance against hot temperatures

#

but very poor with the cold

rotund harness
#

Definitely

plush swift
#

if the subzeros hit you will not see me without a furcoat

rotund harness
#

Then you become a vostoyan first born hahaha

plush swift
#

lol

#

almost

#

i don't own anything even remotely that colorful

rotund harness
#

Nor do I, dark colors are majority of my outfits

#

I have some lighter clothes but it’s all dark colors

plush swift
#

i just wear black

#

full black at all times

#

unless i'm wearing a suit

#

white shirt and white waistcoat is class 👌

rotund harness
#

My normal outfit is black with gold trim, it’s also known as my work uniform

plush swift
#

sounds nice

#

my normal outfit is all black except the socks, i can never find a matching pair

rotund harness
#

It’s ok, it goes well under my commissar jacket when buttoned up

plush swift
#

it feels very weird to wear colors outside of reenactment, cosplay and costume

rotund harness
#

I have one costume that’s bright green, it’s a achievement hunter reference

plush swift
#

lol

#

i have... army green cargo pants

#

that are extra tight around the ass for some reason

rotund harness
#

Olive drab is my go to color, my casual cargo pants, two hoodies, and a few shirts are that green

plush swift
#

i have an army jacket and a blouse too but i don't really wear them, the jacket is sand colored, the blouse is digicamo

#

and some suit jackets

rotund harness
#

-redacted slaaneshi comment-

plush swift
#

that aren't black

#

but i mostly wear them for larp and stuff like that

#

as for some reason i tend to play a lot of stuffy pre-ww2 characters

#

waistcoats too

#

and a red bow tie

#

yee

rotund harness
#

I have a very military style so my outfits all are very dark colors

plush swift
#

i'd say i'm military goth

#

i borrow from historical military fashions and classy macho shit

#

but it's all black

rotund harness
#

I wish I could do more goth

plush swift
#

just slap crosses on every piece of your body that can bear jewelry

#

and some chains

#

wear a ridiculous hairstyle in black, white or red, or all three at once if you're into that

rotund harness
#

Probably would be more mjolnirs than crosses

plush swift
#

that's also cool

rotund harness

Because of all this cosplay talk I was looking at eva mats to make armor out of

plush swift
#

lol

#

i'm... professionally skewed by reenactment, i can't do eva foam armor

#

it has to be realistic steel or nothing

#

at most aluminum or alloys

#

I don’t have the time, space or money to do that and I know how to make actual armor

that's fair

that's why i do mostly unarmored costumes

My biggest suggestion would actually be to spend a bit more time on the mold lines, the ones I can see on the helmet and backpack in the first picture stand out a little bit in particular

Great paint job though 👍 looks very grimy

Oh yeah the mold lines are gone I sanded it down a little

Those are the closest pics I got so far that aren’t blurry lol

I do have shades, I use Agrax earth shade then ima top it with nuln oil when done

It’s my shit box camera lol

i use oil shades to keep it grim

Those two are taken with a DSLR camera with a cardboard inlay from some other figures as a background (of crystal lake) nothing too busy but manually set focus helps break that up.

I love mech designs where their guns arent attached to their arms or are their arms. Theyre just giant ass guns that the mechs can hold and operate
