he sorta regards Maultrik as an older brother despite no relation- they were in the same reaver gang.
imagining what sort of relationships drukhari have with one another, at least in terms of them not HATING EACH OTHER, which is the most obvious relationship they could have of course, is very interesting to me
i would describe maul and Kody's relationship to one another as, "You dont make my life more miserable, so I hope that you dont die. but if you DO die, i hope it is me that kills you, because it would be better than some random asshole doing it."
obtuse sinew
That is an interesting angle; they can’t be crazy evil backstabbers all the time,

I had a cool idea for 2 drukhari once
They vie for the same post and keep trying to kill each other until they grow fond of each other's presence and cleverness
So much they become boyfriends but still act like they're trying to assassinate each other
visual bolt
see THATS how you do it
plush swift
So the archon doesn't get in on the fact they now want to assassinate the archon.

its not about writing them to defy their natural disposition directly

cerulean socket
Maybe the inquisitor with a sororitas head and power hammer instead of the sword? The Chest plate stands out quite a bit on her character model and it’s the only one that comes to mind with something similar
plush swift
oo that actually a good idea
cerulean socket
The jackets a bit off but her red cloak also stops a bit sooner than the standard priest models and the gloves are a bit closer as well
And you could probably get some cloth or something for the seal she hangs on her belt to hide where the shirt splits
Getting it to look like it’s tucked under the belt might be a challenge though
plush swift
or greenstuff it
cerulean socket
True, and the seals that come with most sisters and space marines could easily be put where they are on the sides of her chest plate to bring It even closer
twilit cliff
I was thinking the canoness has those shoulder curtains but little armor
So the chest plate would have to go somehow
They legs seem simpler to replace with something less fancy
cerulean socket
I was having the chest plate stand in for the necklace thing with the inquisition symbol (that I honestly thought was a chest plate until looking closely like five seconds ago)
twilit cliff
I have an idea but it might be a bit difficult to implement, not to mention pricy
So this is a genestealer
His chest is kind of similar minus the inquisition I
hasty sorrel
I was having the chest plate stand in for the necklace thing with the inquisitio...
huh i knew she had that metal plate but now we are actually talking about it
1 sec
twilit cliff
Greenstuff those shoulder curtains on some regular arms that hold a power hammer
twilit cliff
A bit big maybe
What she's wearing is a gorget
One of these
If not a bit loose hanging
But that's the idea
hasty sorrel
na hers is just the front plate
cerulean socket
You sure? When look closely the split in the middle and the texture makes it look closer to cloth or leather
hasty sorrel
its held up with chain
cerulean socket
I think he’s talking about what’s under the cloak and around the neck
twilit cliff
Oh no I was referring to that metal bit
I think the biggest obstacle would be that thing and the shoulders
lapis tundra
No thats not a gorget,wait a sec i think i know what it is..
cerulean socket
There might be a decent hooded robe similar to it in sigmar then you could greenstuff the plate
cerulean socket
Cause it looks like it’s just a weirdly short sleeved robe with a hood, and not sure just seems like a style a mage might have, give me a sec I’ll look
twilit cliff
Also now that I'm looking this aos dwarf looks a bit like a squat with a bunch of enhancements
lapis tundra
Yeah ok so im stupid and it is called a gorget too.
Like this
twilit cliff
Weird choice of demonstration but yeah
lapis tundra
Yeah that was the first image i found
My bad
Just wanted to show the difference between this thing and the piece of armor
twilit cliff
Yh just messing
cerulean socket
I mean pariah technically showed squats still exist
There’s at least one ship out there of them left
twilit cliff
Or you know, take a canoness and do a lot of green stuff
cerulean socket
Sisters of the watch have a similar thing going if you swap out the legs with the scale mail and greenstuff the chest thing to be more similar to the gorget
cerulean socket
I mean you can do whatever you think will get it the closest, canoness is just weirdly bulky to me and her weird belly window is kinda off putting to me
twilit cliff
Not something you can't overcome with some patience I think
cerulean socket
I mean sure but by that logic you could get just about any standard infantry model to look like her eventually
Which is true just trying to find the combo with the largest return on time and effort
twilit cliff
The only thing that would need fixing is the belly I think
The rest seems a cutting and swapping kind of deal
cerulean socket
I mean she has the weird stick things hanging off her top robe thing, her boots are power armor, her gloves are power armor her robe is to long and doesn’t connect where it should, like I said though if you see a way to do it I support you fully and am excited to see what you come up with regardless
twilit cliff
Speaking of robes and things that aren't power armor
There's some 3 party models you can borrow generic semi robed legs
As most sob models are very detailed
cerulean socket
True, you could probably find some great stuff from 3rd party though I don’t really have any experience there tbh

Also good lighting helps . I don’t have a designated table so I bought a cheap “craft” lamp with a magnifying lens for checking out minute detail
And for lighting it up properly

There’s good guides on what different colors of primers do for the model

is that allowed?

Primer paint is a different kinds paint then base coats

question, did you guys have any issues with zandri dust coming off a bit blotchy?
swift arch
Yeah, they make blue spray primer, for below the macragge blue base
Grey is a great “do it all” color for priming

Grey is a great “do it all” color for priming
Then why do most people seem to use black?

It make certain details pop. There’s good videos on how black/white/grey/colored primers give you different looks on your model
With comparisons

With their "spectral spinner squad" and "warlock of crimson legion"

would prefer if they made an effort to make even better models themselves, instead of shutting down others.

Yeah it sucks, hopefully 3d printing will upend the monopolies

Or maybe she really didn't had them and Leonardo did a good painting... We will never really know
What we know though, is that Leonardo was a great artist
And not only for his paintings

it's possible she didn't. it was fashionable in parts of the 15th century to shave them off

Wasn't there literally a painting that one of his apprentices made of the painting with eyebrows? One that had been cared for, as opposed to the Mona Lisa, which hasn't been, and is the main reason for it being kinda loose and weird?
this one
Prado's Mona Lisa
which got restorated in 2012

they got kinda screwed up on the skitarii bases because the resin flowed out

They could get the studio who made Castlevania to do a short one maybe, they've got a good style.
