Or are you going to do your Medic ?

Alright ET

you could build one out of cadians im sure
edgy cipher
You're our new Medic now
twilit cliff
oh fuck no

the colour scheme/chest are similar
but i like all the things they changed and i wish we could get those
now hush
thorny totem
Y’all wanna see my home brew chapter?
sour hill
Yes please!
twilit cliff
sure
thorny totem
One sec
Okay so, Y’know the Custodes who guard dark age technology in that vault under the palace?
thorny totem
Yeah they’re firstborn, unknown founding and nobody knows what primarch they came from (speculated to be Alpha legion)
twilit cliff
kinda makes me wonder how long we'll be able to get firstborn for
thorny totem
Their fleet surrounds one massive cargo ship, and they will defend it to the last, hiding away from prying eyes
twilit cliff
considering their range is huuuuuuge and has got some neat variation
thorny totem
Supposedly they hold secret tech, STC’s, or even one of the dead bodies of Alpharius or Omegon, though nothing is concrete or evidenced
(Could even be hiding some monster, or a lost primarch, hence Charybdis the fantasy monster)
sour hill
@thorny totem I love the classic marines and the blue/orange is super nice.
Really makes them stand out.
thorny totem
I tried to make them pop out, since my Tyranids are pretty dark and stormy kinda colors
Like a counter to them, color wise
sour hill
Yeah. I applied my very limited and 99% useless art schooling to my bases. Use your bases as contrast to your models to make them really stand out
twilit cliff
i kinda like seeing classic grass bases
sour hill
Contrast of colours or contrast of bright base/dark model or vice versa will help it not just look all washed out.
@twilit cliff It can look very nice, for sure. But a lot of models kind of get "lost" in the base that way.
thorny totem
That kinda is why I used grass, because A it was easy, and B it was a third color that you can focus on
sour hill
Yeah. It definitely pops them.
thorny totem
Thank you
It took me ages to get them how I wanted
I’m making the chapter master for them soon
sour hill
Keep it up. I'd be really curious to see a big army photo.
twilit cliff
Im not even sure what to do with my bases
Ive changed my mind so many times
At this point im considering transparent ones lol
sour hill
LOL. Safe if you don't know what to do!
twilit cliff
i like necromunda bases but those are too distinct
you recognize them in a sec
i might make some out of household trash like cables and some vehicle bits like lights and what not
but im not about to do that 20 times
thorny totem
Usually pretty stylized compared to normal bases
My friends and I are making a campaign of sorts, in the Vein of Warhams, and here’s the characters for it (I just now pulled them out of my travel box)
twilit cliff
twilit cliff
Fuck
That dread is cool
Is that a forstborn dual wielding pistols and a tau drone for a head?
thorny totem
So I largely did the Eversor, the Dreadnought (my character Saberi the ancient), and most of that primaris captain. The guy playing the custodian 3d printed it then slapped a base coat on and added some color to the gems, called it good lol. My other friends did the Angel and the Mechanicus guy (who is a kitbash yes)
thorny totem
Yes
twilit cliff
Nice
thorny totem
He made the character from bits he had lying around
Largely an admech assassin dude and some stuff
twilit cliff
So whats his shtick?
thorny totem
He’s the tech guy of the group, but he carries the guns cuz he only trusts the custodian and the dread to keep us safe
The Eversor is largely the “caffeine addict/ attack dog” of the group
Which is funny cuz the guy playing him usually has 2 cups of coffee before classes lol
The dread is kinda the best cuz it was a collab of me and my friend. He has airbrushes so we messed around with those
twilit cliff
Techmarine?
thorny totem
Techmarine?
Nah, the mechanicus guy is just some techpriest with special armor. As for the primaris, he’s just the “Paladin” kinda guy. Kinda basic but he’s gonna be a by the book dude
Primaris captain: “The codex astartes does not support this-“
Grey knight Dreadnought: “quiet your mouth, Boy, I have enemies of the imperium to fight!”
twilit cliff
The dread is so great
thorny totem
And finally the Angel is a 3d print my friend made (be borrowed my paints since it’s his first model) and he’s calling it an emperors berserker, she goes in with a sword and bolt pistol and becomes a blender
That’s how he set her stats up anyways
sour hill
Those still look really nice though. I bet it would make some models REALLY pop.
twilit cliff
Prices seem to vary wildly
thorny totem
Aye ive been meaning to invest in one lol
twilit cliff
Not sure whats a decent choice
thorny totem
I’d look at YouTube videos on one within your price range?
And definitely check the quality of the minis, cuz once you have a printer you’d want to get a good resin, or even test like 3 kinds with the same model? To see which you like best anyways
That’s what my friend has to say since he printed the custodian, and the Angel
thorny totem
It’s a big investment but my friend says it’s pretty good in the long run to have one
Anyways
My cousin has given up on 40k, and has given me something like 600 points of grey knights?
And he gave me this, even though I don’t play necrons, for my birthday
thorny totem
twilit cliff
Cool mantlepiece
thorny totem
It’s cuz I said I thought c’tan looked cool
So I have this now
I haven’t the slightest idea how to paint or even what color scheme
rose sluice
Yeah the grey one and the gold one
Yeah different star god shards
The 4th guy is just for the tesseract vault
twilit cliff
i like the fourth one actually
rose sluice
Not sure what he’s supposed to be
twilit cliff
he's the only one that really looks alien to me
twilit cliff
i think im just not a big fan of having literal star gods on the board 
edgy cipher
he is the weakest of the 4 maybe that's why
dusk hill
the olde timesy c'tan haven't aged great, esp the nightbringer
i honestly really like the two newer ones
twilit cliff
the nighbringer looks uh
i dont know, like he'd fit in many othe rfantasies
generic banshee type
the deceiver just looks like malekith to me
naked malekith
thorny totem
Not sure what he’s supposed to be
A Transcendent c’tan shard. He basically ATE other shards and became powerful
He’s usually mounted on a big construct like a monolith cuz of how much power he’s outputting
It’s unnamed cuz there’s nothing distinctive about his design, he could be from any c’tan (though I doubt it’s VD since he has no wings)
rose sluice
ah fair
thorny totem
I really like the concept of Ctan. I just haven’t had the time to start collecting necrons
Until the Void dragon of course, but that’s an Outlier
untold pier
Pokemon batteries
thorny totem
Basically
I never really liked how the deceiver and the Nightbringer looked. Deceiver was weird head and smug grin, and the nightbringer was just kinda a cryptic hunchback looking dude
Didn’t mind the transcendent but I love the foreign and cool look of void dragon

Thats the kinda shit id wanna waster my time modeling just turing all my dudes i...

didnt even know gw sold pinvices
they sell pinvices but i got to get actual strips of greenstuff elsewhere

this has probably been asked already and i dont know the rules
but can any IG units wear powerfists?
i got a bunch of them in my bits box and i kinda want to put them to use
edgy cipher
but can any IG units wear powerfists?
Platoon and company commanders can
twilit cliff
those arent the sergeants right?
edgy cipher
Yeah those are the heroes that give orders to the grunts
twilit cliff
riiiight
seperate question, i sometimes see models of inquisitors in power armor, are those in any factions rulebook?
or are those just a lore novelty
edgy cipher
Yeah , any imperium army can choose to get those without compromising your army list
twilit cliff
righto, thanks

Tried my hand on some marbling techniques. I may do the majority of them, but it's a good learning experience.
edgy cipher
That's really nice, would you mind detailing your process ? I want to paint custom custodes bases and they would have a similar look
median pumice
Oh dude I got it from a video. The secret is baby wipes I shit you not
https://youtu.be/eLVE1q0fGDA
@dusk hill and @edgy cipher
I need to open up the baby wipes more. I kept them too close so the white and other colors didnt show through
dusk hill
! noted
median pumice
The finale is gloss varnish but I gotta strip some of these paints
median pumice
All in all it took me like... maybe two hours?
dusk hill
Very based of you
oh my god i will end you
edgy cipher
For this many bases that's pretty good
median pumice
So not too much time down. But wrapping the bases is super time consuming
Yeaaah. Now I gotta strip some of them. Even the big one x.x
sour hill
Allll Deathwatch boys complete for my Diorama!
Next project will be Ghaz! But I need to get some liquid rust for him.
unborn night
nuln oil
sour hill
I'm not one for dousing an entire model in Nuln. Just shading.
Some English company makes INCREDIBLE liquid rust.
There we go!
That's the stuff.
median pumice
Uuuuugh. I just put my messed up bases in some simple green. And maaan. I am dissappoint lmao
median pumice
Ehh, I was doing the marbling effect in the video I posted earlier, and my spacing of the baby wipes was off, so it didn't have the intended effect
sour hill
Aww. :[ All good.
median pumice
So 3/4 of the bases I did need to be stripped and redone lmao
sour hill
Jump back on that horse and try again. I'd love to see how they turn out!
median pumice
I'm alright, just its disheartening. I mean in the grand scheme of things, two hours. But still lmao
I posted the ruined ones up above lol, plus the video on how to do them that I was following haha
sour hill
Yooo...
Real talk I think those look insanely cool/unique.
What are you putting onto them?
median pumice
Custodes
sour hill
Those look so sick!
So you have any pictures of one up close before you cleanse them all?
median pumice
I'm primed some jet bikes, and have some guard done. But its not the effect I wanted. More white on it, less dark. I may hand do some of the spray painting of it
Haha, I already put some of them in some simple green to strip, but the ones I like I'll take pictures of
median pumice
This one I really like because you can see the gold striations
Still need to do a gloss varnish on them, but those are the best ones haha
sour hill
I think those look fantastic!
And DEFINITELY glass finish.
It'll help that shine a lot.
median pumice
A lot of the other ones have like... a lotta or too much gold? Not enough white to cover them
So.... starting from scratch. Learning experience. lol
sour hill
All good. As long as you make them in a way you're happy with!
Even if you end up not getting perfect marbling I think they have a great look regardless.
Never see bases like that usually.
Are those official bases by the way?
If so, which ones? Those would be PERFECT for the Necron I plan to put in the underground section of the diorama.
Paint them a rigid steel, but do bright green glow in the lines.
With the various warriors "coming to life" beneath.
median pumice
Nah, they are from a small shop called Secret Weapon miniatures. The shop recently went out of business. Though the bases are available on ebay
sour hill
I'll look into it. Thank you!
thorny totem
Y’all wanna see some dragon progress?
I’ve never done Necrons so I’d like some feedback
sour hill
Yes!
thorny totem
I still gotta go over the base, add more Ledbelscher to the main body, and add more lighter purple highlights but-
I’d like to hear outsider thoughts
sour hill
Purple with the silver looks slick. The lighting makes it hard to see true colour differentiation, but so far I like these colours together a lot.
Black/metal/purple is a solid mix.
thorny totem
Aye and I’m purposely making his body a bit smudged/roughed up to make it look like he had to carve his way outta the tomb and the ground to fight whomever the dynasty needs eliminated
sour hill
Very badass.
thorny totem
I’ll prolly buy some cryptothralls or Wraiths cuz I think those models are pretty sick
sour hill
Yeah, I'm going to end up picking up some basic Warriors for my diorama but I love how... Elemental the Necrons designs all are.
Geometric and pleasing.
Probably very nice to paint.
thorny totem
Very Egyptian/undead all at once
sour hill
Hell yeah.
thorny totem
I’m all about Nids and my home brew marines but I may begin collecting Necrons
Pretty lucky my cousin gifted me this c’tan boi cuz it’s given me more of a reason to begin Necrons
thorny totem
Any critiques or tips for this guy? I’m gonna paint the small floating tomes a darker grey or black and make all the lightning a more vibrant purplish pinkish color
median pumice
No critiques, because damn that looks good
vale sleet
Which chaos faction you guys think will get updated first? Khorne or Slanesh
verbal sapphire
Khorne
median pumice
Slanesh technically got a bunch of units that can be crossed over from Age of Sigmar to 40k if I recall? So probably Khorne.
thorny totem
I also think Khorne

Id say was a word bearer
sweet hull

dusk hill
His wings are still hella cute
sweet hull
mainly i was surprised because my mind went oh red chaos with melee based warp mutations? must be world eater
dusk hill
Tiny lil peacock wings
Meanwhile like belakors wings are ridiculously huge relative to his body
sweet hull
i feel like they wouldnt be able to carry him though with how small they are
lapis tundra
I prefer huge wings on tiny body
sweet hull
i do like the contortion on the helmet
sweet hull
I prefer huge wings on tiny body
i like big but not unpractically big

They gotta be big to be able to make him fly tho

nah fam
paint line thickness has nothing to do with the model
ive seen super sharp highlights on armor panels and thick bois on tau trim
lapis tundra
They have standarts, newer gw eavy metal paint jobs are of uniform thickness
rose sluice
i'd go with warpsmith for that tbh
summer pawn
I hope in futur i see into CSM Iron warrior legion, Emperor Children...just like loyalist
hoary ermine
They have standarts, newer gw eavy metal paint jobs are of uniform thickness
im not buying the size of a model based on its highlights
GW have done pinprick highlights before

I wonder if this might be the start of them introducing updated World Eaters/Khorne to 40K?

Are those the super fucked up birthing "things" from the same one where they stretched people like taffy and such for the wombs?

The skin stretching was to cover the complete warriors "birthed" by them because they were "born" skinless
They stick aspirants in and out pops fully grown Astarties

Oddly enough, the only big cleaning is on his sword arm. The fangs of the giant lion on his armor look to need some cleaning.

It still has some great detail.

Also, pretty certain now this lines up with the other CSM releases rumored. This is probably a Warpsmith.
