They are great
yes
GW tools might be a bit pricy but they are worth it
except the clippers
fuck those
@lapis tundra I'd probably get those if I did anything with Resin
I'm also going to pick those up for more kitbashes.
They are really good tho
I can recommend them for terrain too (and for anything else too tbh)
Same
isnt that greyskulls mechanicus waifu?
Yep
the pog legs
armored cap
tru
,, good to know
Wish I could just get new legs
Scrape your knee? Not anymore, you got stainless steel caps
so long as we leave everything above the knees intact
human thighs are one of our best features and i refuse to see them turn to metal
Ez fix incan, just get some plate armor and keep ur legs
idk plate armour doesn't look v breathable for casual wear to me
Wear regular clothes on top
My two last SM Boi
Next i need Iron Warrior and Iron Hand heraldry
Yeah idc about lore friendly a bit for that
And my BF decided to make me this one ❤️
Basically done with VD. I just have a bit of touching up to do, and some extra highlights on the base stuff
Neat
that's badass
second one just finished up, gotta clean that one now. going to print numba 3
I store my Sororitas....i prefert to paint AdMech/SM 😢
noice
This gives them some really nice weight too
How are you gonna do the fire effects? If you dont mind me asking
I got to thibk on that @median pumice
I hate the lolipop sticks
@vivid runeThose look REALLY nice.
@sour hill Deadly Print Studios, cant reccomend them enough
You can buy their stuff as files or as actual stuff shipped to you
So
I got a retributors squad
Wtf weapon do i build them with? Idk the difference between a heavy bolter, melta, and heavy flamer
i assume heavy bolter is generalist, melta is anti armour/vehicle-ish, flamer is horde control anti chaff vibes
The heavy bolter is all about stationnary anti heavy infantry weapon, a good space marine killer, the heavy flamer just straight up anihilates anything that has the stats of a normal human and the melta is the close range anti vehicle weapon that also works well on heavy infantry
Imo id go for heavy meltas because its just a really good weapon in general
I am building a bloody rose army for my sisters so idk how well which weapon fits with that list @edgy cipher
i imagine so long as like. if u go for flamers u have smthn else on ur roster to perform anti armour vibes, or vice versa if u go with meltas or whatever
idk what competitive vibes are like but
I went with bolters because they look cool
nods
Jeebus. Thats gorgeous. Awesome yellows, and how did you get such a smooth coat on those pants @sage matrix ?
All comes down to the primer
Started with a white, = less build up of thin layers
More room for more gradient layers
It looks great!
😳
Kingdom death monter?
Seems like they are the melee ladies, so they already got the anti infantry in melee, might aswell accompany them with meltas or bolters
titanite demon from dark souls
Titanite demon, one of the coolest bois out there
@edgy cipher thx! Built 2 as bolters already but my sprue frame doesnt allow me to build all of one unit type for some reason
Np, if you need ttp advices I don't mind a quick ping
!! ooh
that looks amazing, where did u get it?
painting it must be a joy, given it's basically just one constant stone-ish grey that u can flex with highlighting all over
i like the helmet
good colors yes yes keep pogging
This has such a dope, classic scifi look.
The shiny gloss helmet is perfect.
Oh my god i love this
anyone good with greenstuff? I added some tiny bit I made out of green stuff the other day on the end of a gun but for some reason it won't stick
what can i do to reinforce this?
Can you take a picture @twilit cliff ? Might need some more reinforcing maybe?
how would you reinforce that? it's pretty teeny tiny
it's a dumb experiment but it'd be nice if i could mold the rifle into having a different silhouet
Hmm... instead of using greenstuff have you thought of using a small bit of plasticard? Then form it into a funnel and cut off whatever excess you may have from the cone?
i have thought of it but not in the way you suggest
my first thought was just cutting the shape out of plasticard and glueing it on but uh
the way i cut plasticard is a bit bad
but im assuming the problem is the lack of surface are that sticks together?
i went back and carefully fixed the first one with a measured amount of glue on both ends
and made another with more surface area
we'll see what sticks
A sister for a Mechanicus army ?
conversion material
people use a lot of sisters components due to their scale and neat-ness
Yeah, Mechanicus need really Support utilitary unit
Yeah but they don't apply
Yup...
Thankfully
Maybe i can modify rules for her to get more into Mechanicus cult
And demand to play her in party
(Thanks this rule GW)
You mean for tabletop or ttprpg ?
Yee
So, yes
Yes yes 100% yes. I have a hospitaler I'm going to paint up based off one from Requiem Infernal.
XD
If you mean to play on tabletop I don't think that works.
But
I love the model so much.
I can write some rule and guess to my friends if i can play with her, and if they say yes, its ok
For sure. I bet you could use her (with some kitbashing) as anything you want if they'll allow.
Armour is done. Axe is here. Renn Faire here I come.
Just gotta get my body all painted up that morning and it's ON
! hell yeah
neat
oh i want some feedback before this greenstuff cures
and hopefully sticks
got some inspiration from pinterest
To adjusting the arms like this
@twilit cliff YES. If you can pull it off so that he has the gauntlet at the top of that chainsword.
Its a very badass pose.
that's probably not going to work but i hade some inspiration elsewhere for the pose
ideally he'd have a neutral pose walking forward
This powersword in the relaxed right arm
The left arm i want to experiment with and magnetize at the wrist to add either nothing, a shield, or some sort of gun
a bit like this guy i found on pinterest also
also i realize the powersword is a leftie but i have an idea to change that around also, should be very difficult
but ill definitly try something like that bc i kind of love that chainsword
YOOOOO!!!! lets go!
🙏 💖
I gotta say, dawn of war voices give me seratonin
So planning a new campaign for Only War, gonna be sniper dropship troopers vs tau doing HVT and critical location strikes
Thinking humans under tau rule for standard patrols, fire warriors closer to certain checkpoints, and then a few rare devilfish/stealthsuit teams
although
stealth suits feel mean in this
Oof. Yeah.
How about instead of just encountering them, they're sent in if they make too much noise, or don't eliminate their targets cleanly enough?
thats what i've just been thinking on
and maybe just a pair of em to spook the party
their guns are also pretty nasty
ye i think i'd put the stealth suits in as this kind of vibe
would be a cool oops! u fucked up thing
thinking atm mostly like
on foot patrols, maybe a few devilfish with squads in close to major locations and then some battlesuits at actual defended locations
(thinking a pair of broadsides atm, need to review their firepower first)
If stealthsuits are that strong I imagine broadsides are going to be insane
the main spook on stealth suits is the stealth
not that broadsides are any more pleasant, but atleast they can be seen and arent exactly a hard target haha
Enormous means people get a +20 to shoot at it (d100 system) and since someone has a lascannon...
thats gonna hurt
although im biased and broadsides are my fav battlesuit
whats the difference between the new and old?
new one has the one big cannon and i adore it
you also can still set it up as that iirc
i do sorta like the old one too but like, idk, it doesn't have the presence u know? the vibe
the newer one looks like you immediately become a recollection if this thing so much as clips u
fair
but mostly thinking broadsides in key locations cause the party has a sentinel with them
so need to disuade him running amok
They have the capacity to take the broadsides out, they just need to do it correctly
which is sorta the theme for the campaign haha
Hmm, I wouldn't put Devilfish squads as encounters? If I was the tau, I'd have them as rapid reaction forces. Maybe on the way they encounter lone foot slogging patrols of 10, and remora drones or pirhana skimmers? And nearer major objectives they'd encounter Tetras maybe and then roving devilfish?
Like.... If I was a blue space communist, I
Devilfish is more for roadways and stuff
less active patrols and more groups moving between sectors
I'd like... go for a distributed defence. Like... Devilfish and large concentrations in a place between major objectives
I tend to less plan encounters and more
put enemies around the place moving on w/e path makes sense for the task they are given
and then the players encounter enemies when and where they find them
Idea being this is far enough behind enemy lines they don't have artillery support, but close enough to the front the enemy are still somewhat on alert
the squad playing paratroops will be doing stealth ops to try and hit key points (unsure if i'm going to make it linear or open)
So bumping into like, a devilfish moving between 2 compounds cause the players stray too close to a road is something that could happen
but if they just fuck off into the forest, they're more likely to come across guevesa or fire warriors
maybe some kroot if i'm feeling particularly bully
ahhh gotcha
I just figured something like this? Sorta abstract, but basically the same thing you said lol
i have uhh
2 ideas
lemme do paint a sec
My initial idea is similair to what u said
3 points, connecting roads, blue zones are like "influence zones", where the heavier patrols are
outside of those areas only really the roads are patrolled, other than maybe some smaller teams of pathfinders or drone sweeps
central green area is an urban zone, which may have an optional timed objective come up for high risk high reward (HVT coming in for a few days, but the city is the heaviest defended zone)
like a "You NEED to avoid this zone, but...."
2nd idea is a bit more linear, pushing up a valley with steady growing levels of patrol as they deal with key points (such as taking out check points or tidewall stations)
was about to say can discuss this one in full hear cause none of my players are here
then i remembered zherlum exists
fuck

i'm concerned cause i saw proud start typin

I might've just accidentally mashed spac eo rsmthing
Sometimes discord typing just... appears
lmao
lol. Whelp. I mean, you can always just change things.
I wish you the best of luck in your campaign @hasty sorrel !
thanks im gonna need it
if nothing else, atleast the above is vague and inconclusive
since i didnt decide on an idea or exactly what to put where
you got this. I'm sure your players are gonna enjoy themselves
Live in hope haha
Only Gm'd twice before
first one lasted 2 years so must be doing something right, but hell if i know what
Honestly, as long as you have fun thats the good part
Hello bitch
bitch
Thank you for the critical info
Nerd
Huh so they did a quick bandaid fix for melee in Hired Gun
Until they can do a full rework
wasnt the problem that melee just felt out of place?
Nah it was melee made you immune for a few seconds and healed you a little amount
And that you could chain it if the enemies didn't have a shield
Its moreso an issue on lower levels when the game isn't difficult and the enemies are weak
oh you mean the uh
like the glory kills from doom but you could use them anytime anywhere
what i meant is wasnt there also like a melee weapon or something that nobody ever used
Yeah , they are reworking the melee but for now the band aid is that you need to fill a jauge to actually do a glory kill now
The power knife is cool but the other powers are broken next to it
what i want to see is an endgame option
yeah the power rife, i thought you meant they had a bandaid fix for that somehow
either gimme a good endgame option or make it fifteen bucks
Nah 15 bucks is too low
Its already like 30
People undervalue games too much nowadays
yeah i value my wallet more
Understandable
So it begins.
I need to pick up my Ork paints though.
And once I get to a certain point I have to wait for my rust to come in.
All of my metal is going to be rusty.
God i have too much shit to finish, ork building metal walls are finished but thats about it, not sure when im gonna finish it
Yeah. My work from home days are sometimes very slow.
So I have my laptop beside me and can paint.
Just take calls/answer emails when they come in.
We got photography rn have to travel through town and take random pics, also gonna finish a presentation till next wednesday
Damn that was a thick Leman Russ
So it turns out that Militarum green is the PERFECT base colour for Ork skin for the tone I like.
I need to get some bright coloured layer paints finally.
😂
Nice! What unit is that?
I dig it. The mouth is very Cthulhu ish
they're based of an old irish creature

Thank you! Its JUST the contrast layers so far.
So we'll see if I can make it look good with my top coats too.
I also have to wait for my rust paints to come in the mail. All the metal I'm painting is going to have some heavy rust effect
Dirty Orks. 🙏
They haven't stopped the wagh for months.
i don't think you can get them now
cause you can;t use them anymore
i got mine of ebay
people might have the stl though
i'd love to have the noble tbh
they still had rules for 1st edition of AoS but haven't been usable so i guess they just took them out of print
he's handsome
yee the fimir noble in particular is gorgeous
He new?
I desire the peat bog cyclops
The fancily clad irish cycloptian lizard
nods
Just built these three
is it just me or do those look v monopose
eh
i don't really know tbh
i'm really impressed with the amount of build options tbh
Love the third guy’s robot arm aswell
same, they're gorgeous models
yeah those are sick
went for the laspistol and chainsword i see
yeah
was thinking plasma
but he's speedy looking now
when for the other head on the ork cause i though it looked cooler
Nice way of watermarking them 
Did you check Legends?
@sage matrix Looks fantastic!
@rose sluice id check warhammer legends for rules, i can prob find the warscrolls for you later tonight because last night i wws browsing some of the stuff. Its legal to use but the rules usually arent strong
Wait really?
Not too bothered either way but it would be cool to know i can use them
I don’t think they’ve ever been particularly good
@verbal sapphire @arctic ridge for my fellow IW simps
Plane doodle, so ignore all the bad parts
Tfw u have no internet on plane so u just hope to gork that ur drawing what can be taken as some sort of sm armor. Thx tho!
I love seeing chaos space marines, especially post-scouring IW, in may different marks of armour
king shit 👑
Yes just imagine being this heretic, u joined an IW warband so u get some good equipment, ur chilling playing cards whilst waiting for the arty to stop, when a shadow falls over you
Its a warrior, grimy, dirty, maybe corrupted but under all that armor its hard to tell
You better throw the game unless you want a ceramite fist through the face, omniman style
You say a quick prayer to the 4 before you are killed for lazying about when a vox-corrupted voice says “whats the buy-in?”
Ngl i honestly believe that most IW enjoy games, and are not all sore losers like mr peter turbo
Winner gets the prospero pizza
Glad u saw that XD
Can't be a sore loser if you're a sore winner

HA
But if u do win, the marine selects you to go with him on a sapper mission, and you get to carry the charges
Warhammer legends are just rules for old models that they put out ONCE for them and will never update. So usually with time as powercreep moves along they get worse and wors3
i'll give it a wee look then
ty for letting me know
now to find what army they're in
they weren't in any of them
found them in monstrus arcanum
Also legends can mean that it won't even function properly in the current edition (eventually)
Yeaaaa....

I'm sure gw will have the foresi- nevermind
I assume Fimir got axed because of their edgelord lore
Then again Beastmen stayed but I figure thats because they were bigger
tbh i just automatically filter the old edge fluff out
80s-90s sweaty fantasy writers gonna be 80s-90s sweaty fantasy writers
Or omitted, I dont think its mentioned anywhere in the AoS tomee
What was the fimirs lore?
||raping human women to reproduce, same with beastmen||
Yeah
They didnt have the model line to be worth recovering from that lire
Unlike Beasts
Since they couldve p easily just been baked into chaos
My birthday was today. This guy was the the highlight
Pretty hyped to build him
Not so much to paint him
!!! ooh
lowkey i've had an assembled knight lying around for months now
actually painting them is uh. strenuous
Yeah even in my relatively simple deathwatch paint pattern I'm not looking forward to it
I'm thinking I'll paint him black with silver trim, a coloured pauldron, and a coloured shin on the opposite leg
That could work! I am personally a lil shifty about painting any big flat/not-very-highlightable surface black, without areas to highlight it can feel sorta ah yes exposed primer to me
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about it. It worked for my dreadnoughts, but they're much smaller
Whatevs, I'll fuck around with it
worst case I have to strip a little paint
nods
good luck!
it's been super humid here lately so my priming has been unusually smooth
i should probably just prime all of it while i have the chance osdg
Well I’ve added a fair bit of details that my old phone can’t pick up ;w; the heads all silvery and the body has silver stuff going on around the purple, but otherwise it’s just the base that needs work for me
Thank u bby ❤️
Its very characterful
Looks badass!
Thank
It took forever
Again, a lotta smaller stuff isn’t showing up cuz my phone has poopy cam quality
Watched some guy do a vid on it. Fimir where basically doomed from the start because they were sized wrong from the sculptor’s original idea. 40ml bases for something that wasn’t strong enough to warrant them. Plus their dodgy lore which got retconned the same way the beastmen lore did
Their model range was never got big enough for them to get the beastmen love
Looks fantastic! Keep it up dude
Don't forget to post it when you are done, Knights are so fucking cool
is there any 40k epic scale discord guys? im trying to start a army in that scale
all 3d printed
Happy birthday! Please show progress pics!
I know theres a Facebook group? But not sure if they got a discord
happy birthday !!
nice gonna look it up
telegram is a good option too
Worked a little bit on the big e. Did the major colors taking a little break before the redder bits aside from the Cape. I think that sword is gonne need pinning lol
Looking epic ngl
Big E has been lacking a true mini for Horus heresy stuff and before, but I think that works pretty well
Truuuue. Though I bet once the horus heresy finishes up, they're gonna release a limited edition book with the model as a preorder
For the lion pauldron, I'm thinking of using a mix of like true gold for the face, and differing shades of gold for the mane, and then silver for the fangs, with like red jewels for the eyes?
Right now I'm stressing on face tutorials.
I'm trying to make his skin tone that ambiguous golden brown that GW classically put him as
I'm gonna base his skintone and eyes on the hero of Turkish Star Wars
BEHOLD YOUR NEW EMPEROR OF MANKIND
thats Cüneyt Arkın if you need more pictures of him
the guy was basically our turkish arnold schwarzenegger so you'll find a lot of action screenshots of the guy 
Happy to help! :<3
Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (Film), Science-Fiction, Action Film (Film Genre), Cuneyt Arkin, Spoof, Kitsch (Visual Art Genre), cheezy, Turkey (Country), Funny
Thats our Emperor, training to fight the warp
🙏
God, that gif has me pumped to do the face and give the emperor that steely glare
Alright, that does it. In my head, the emperor of Mankind once lived under the name of Turkish Superstar Cüneyt Arkın
LMAO
Tbh he was born in Anatolia so him choosing to be a movie-star for a short while does fit his character
Bruh, thats perfect
... I mean... If it fits it fits
Hmm... maybe i should do the eyes first before the skin tones? Because.... eyes are fucking hard lmao
Eyes are overrated anyways
Like, normally I wouldn't even bother? But... this is like literally the centerpiece of my Custodes army (probably gonna proxy Guilliman of them), and its gonna get attention anyway. So... I thought I'll go all out
Mech soldier
Thats awesome! Did you come up with that yourself? Or was it from a kit?
The gold carapace is really cool, never thought of using blue but now I like it a lot for the bugs
based the paint job off of a fanfiction, in which the main Tyranids main colors were blue and gold
They must have eaten Ultramarines lololol I kid
the purple was just because I didn't know of any secondary color and I wanted something to connect it with my other Killteam only models
The purple stabby bits are nice!
actually, both of them are gold
I was very tempted to make a fall of ultramar joke
It looks really good
What'd you use for the glowy eye bit? Thats a nice shade
I first tried to just paint it a Macragge Blue, but found that too dark
Kitbash
so I then tried to do a layer of White Scar, and then a layer of I believe to be Altioc Blue
Honestly that looked so cool I thought it was a kit. Awesome work!
Looks awesome
I find it kinda strange most of the primarch models are by forgeworld and not the main gw
30k stuff is handled by FW
neat what necron dynasty is that
Custom paint job
Damn. Ghaz is a lot of work to paint.
I'm only like... 40% of the way done tops.
Did all the dry brushing for the more dakka weapon but now I need to actually layer some real colours over it and details.
And I'm waiting for all my rust paints to come.
ALL the shiny metal on him is going to get rusted and weathered.
Beautiful work so far though!
Why'd yu make the dakka blaster yellow of you dont mind me asking @sour hill ?
"Youz Paint Da Shooty Bitz Yellow"
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT GOT DEEP-FRIED
LMFAO
rip
I haven't added any layers to it, just coloured it all yellow to start.
Most of it's going to get covered up with more metal to rust.
But I wanted to hit everything with yellow that I could.
Ahhh gotcha
Yellow is one of those colours that when you paint/drybrush it; it will stain EVERYTHING around it.
Badly.
So I figure hit EVERYTHING yellow and then I can do a thin layer over.
Ahhh gotcha. I never painted with yellow so that's interesting to know. Cooool
Here. This is with the basillicanum grey over top.
So it's sort of already got a rusty look
Still got a long way to go though. This dude has so many tiny details ALL over.
That effect is siiiiick
And I won't even get my rust paints for like 2 weeks+ :[
But I figure if I just get him 90% done and then add rust where I want it I'll be good to go.
Any mini you finish means we can buy five more. The curse of the mini hobbies continues
LMFAO. Legit
Once these are done, then we buy more Orks.
To finish the MAIN army for the diorama.
If the lore has taught me anything, there always more orks. You're just following the lore
@twilit cliff I started with white primed, Militarum green as the contrast base layer and then Warboss green.
I like the darker colour tone for Orks.
I love that you designed all these guys.
Its fun
You should. I love seeing your art come to life!
Thanks XD
But its accurate XD
"Sister slow down please"
"Dont worry i know how to use this"
When you beseech the Emperor, and he tells you to take the wheel.
XD
Did some minor detail work on the big E today. Just some silver highlights and attached his bird and halo. Need I do the ropes and feel like that chest emblem needs something... not sure what though
I'm thinking the ropes in a pinkish red would really set them off
Yooo. That looks beautiful so far!
I think pink/red would look fantastic of a wine/purple red.
Both have that royal feeling.
If you use Citadel paints a mix of Wide Rider Red and White Scar makes a fantastic pink/red hue.
I've defintely got some white scar I think. I'll mess around
The cape is the one giving me fits right now though
I have no idea what to do with that icon lmao
Is it feathers? Is it fur?
Who knows?
Oooo
What inspires you more?
Screw fitting the mold of what it "should" be. What do you like the idea of?
Need to touch up metallics but I think I'm happy with my test model for kt krieg
Lovely shade of green @tiny cairn !
Thing is I'm not sure? Its like.... it could be both? But the Big E is extra enough to say fuck it. Feathers.
Honestly, I think just off white or white feathers, and then make the icon gold and silver and see where it takes me lmao
I dig it either way.
Various combinations of the three, excuse the neon shorts
The majority is just goblin green, but edge highlights are 1/2 lemon 1/2 goblin
I find that yellow needs a big ratio to make a difference for green because yellows weak to begin with and is already present in green
I like it though. Makes me think these are vat boys that were sent to fight in Catachan jungles.
yeah I wasn't liking it before but after letting it sit during vacation and after my first pass of touchups/mudding it I am a fan
this was it before edge highlights and stuff I also tried it with a gray helmet and that did not look good
I like the mud look but it feels bad to nick up a paintjob you are proud of lol
Yeah the more I think about it I am just making dr doom krieg and I'm okay with that
This is a bs choice to have to make
Quick question: what do you think about the lion shoulderpad? Just finished a nuln wash trying to get more of the details
have you nuln oiled this part yet? I think that would help it to pop more
maybe do some edge highlights on the upper raised parts of the lion as well
I
I'll try it. Its one of those things thatslike... ahh IO can only do too much gold and silver? lmao
yeah metalics are a pain
So I'mhopinjg the wash like brings outmore detail I can pick up in silver later on
this selection is making me want to buy the individual box of krieg if its not too expensive (this is the design intent ofc)
what do you folk use more plastic glue or super glue? I use a combination myself, I only use plastic glue to merging points
I always use plastic, I only really keep superglue around at all for metal models
I don't like the finality of plastic glue
yeah, it'd be nice to have a sniper though lol
I could always just sub my larkin for it
or go madlad mode and defy gw by magnetizing the pose lol
I use plastic glue for everything except my basing/attaching to natural bases.
thats just asking to lose one of the heads though
And Elmer's glue for the actual basing material attachment.
Ahh gotcha. I usually use Tamiya plastic glue for the inital assembly, and superglue for when I do sub assemblies so it doesnt mess with the paintjob
The big thing is just know what will be exposed and what won't be.
yee
But yeah, plastic glue will FUCK up a good paint job.
If you get any on your fingers.
Bye bye.
I just realized, there is a slight gap with the cape and the main torso.... I'm gonna need to fill it with putty filler so its like smooth
God, I need to strip a little paint... lmao
LOL
2 thin coats. 🙏
I try and live by it.
Sometimes I end up with 3-4 though depending on my layering.
😔
When the time comes, I'm gonna try and just... sand it a little and then repaint <_<
It might. MIGHT be hidden by the pauldrons.
Oh God it does. One less thing to worry about lmao
Yea, did a test, and the GIANT PAULDRONS cover the gap from the cape to the main body
good
Okay. Dry brushed some Vallejo metal colors airbrush. I think it turned out pretty good
Finally finished going to start my manipulus already magnitized
Love the tech boys
Thats a gorgeous red. I love the work on the skitarii too
Love the texture
Always love a nicely executed warning chevron on a mini
You do know that the lasgun/sniper arms can be used on other bodies too, right? it recommends you build them on that body, but you don't have to. The Demo guy is kinda constrained to that pose however at least for his right arm (I guess you could do it on a standing guy if you rigged up something for the plunger to sit on?)
Question for those in the know
Are custodes bits bigger than regular firstborn marine bits?
Particularly talking about the torso and legs
if you're talking non-primaris marinelets yea there's a pretty big disparity
primaris compared to custodes the sizing difference is still there but not as substantial
Right, thanks
Does that also apply to the front and back piece of the torso, those look pretty normal. Asking for kitbashing reasons and because i dont own any custodes yet
Custodes are still a fair bit bigger than Primaris so there is a chance it wont fit well
Too bad the tabletop game aint good
The Dark Souls tabletop game
ohhhh, i thought i recognized the helmet from videos ive seen
i wish the legs had better proportion though but hey it's their art style
to be fair that's just what winged knights look like
love the winged knights
scared to do the crest
crest?
ah
Yh no idea how youre supposed to pull that off
patience and perseverance
Flameon Miniatures is a great example of insane freehand like that.
Or uou could find a similar transfer sticker
How would you guys paint power armor with no chapter colours? Like just the ceramite
With no chapter colour?
Mhm
Im gonna try some things next chance i have
Trying to build a dude in power armor for a scrappy rogue traders retinue but
Whats holding me back is the color
Amongst other things
They say Iron Warriors and Grey Knights technically use unpainted ceramitw.
So very grey/iron coloured.
And when polished it shines like GKs.
Yep!
hmmmm
i wanted to use blue tints actually
do you know which that is? or what that paint is normally used for?
i think it's just called grey knights lol
i only remember cause i asked about doing a blue metal
and the guy recommended that paint or just a metal paint with blue contrast over it
grey knight steel
shitty gw image that has no indication on what the paint actually looks
You could definitely use leadbelcher and then do a thinned contrast wash with a bright blue too. That could look incredible.
Like you can see them glowing with psychic energy.
yeah no gw paints online are bad like that 
Talassar Blue is the DOPEST blue contrast. Its what I used for my lucky blue colours on my Orks.
i think ill just keep it simple with lead plus agrax and just be happy with what i got
Sorry what did you use for the ork skin again?
I think i did sth similar with my gretchin
I stilk like to call them gobbos actually
White primed, Militarum green contrast base with a layer of Warboss green.
Kk
Sorry phone call
I did a similar skintone but i cant decide whether like
I see a lot of vibrant green skin tones and it makes me jealous
For example this one i found on reddit
Just looks amazing to me
Im wondering if i could just get like a more vibrant base and just wash the recesses with a dark green wash
I really like the work on those little boots and gauntlets btw, what clan are they?
@twilit cliff Very good question. He's supposed to be a lucky banner carrier for Ghaz.
One day i want to have an armynof the lil feckers
Also hows work on ghaz progressing?
When I get to work I'll read up. About to drive in now
I really like the texture of your cape
@twilit cliff That lighter skin highlighting does look nice. Just depends what you're looking for.
I'm going for more "were in the fight" look. So bright highlights, lack of grime, etc. isn't my style.
I think it's impressive when they can paint so it almost looks like a comic image with everything highlighted, but it doesn't look "mid action" to me.
I bought my first ork kit coming in 4 weeks time its the new combat patrol one
Helllll yeah. I'm gonna be picking it up too I think
Any tips on how to paint the skin
Sorry to interupt, workin with some of the 40k rpg world generator stuff
wanted to share cause its cool
Ooh
So are you going to do any goff checkerboards on ghaz?
i can't read 
Yeah thats fair
it also generated a list of native creatures
And they all have stats and unique properties 

The first large flora there can uproot itself and hunt
Not intended for thursday, but might take some bits from it
NICE
Thank you very much! I get wayyyyy too self-critical about things, but I'm just enjoying the process so far.
Yeah! I think I will checkerboard his front chest piece.
Under the teef?
I was thinking maybe the shoulder or sty, maybe thats overdone
good luck with that though, im not great with painting little details like that
Hmmm.
Some areas I thought of checkerboard ING.
I think the big thing for freehand checkerboard is just going to be to draw the squares first.
And then just build very very thin layers.
I have a hyper detail brush so I can pull it off.
Oh yeah thatd work
I think maybe I'll checkerboard the top.
So that there's that nice white contrast over his head.
Any reds anywhere?
And the teef are white too.
Back is going to be red.
Theres a huge engine on his back.
Id personally do the teef red but thats just bc i like dow1 orks
Making sure to get EVERY colour the Orks believe in and capture is somewhere on him.
Right that seems smart
Since he's supposed to represent the greatest Waaaagh.
Where blue and purple gonna be
Its be neat if you could somehow incorporate that ork alphabet
And figuring out purple. I haven't decided yet.
Everywhere you see metal on that.
All the nuts/bolts are going to have rust painted on them.
And the claws are going to be super rusted too.
I think the yellow gun is p brave
😂
It'll look better once I get the metal stuff down.
This has base contrast layer on it now.
Yh i saw the update
Itll look way better once the bullets are painted too
100%
Right now they're just Aggaros Dunes.
But I'm gonna pick up some brass paint.
Shade paints and such will help a lot too.
Right now it's just "deep fried" as Dilly said.
😂
I'm painting the cables too. Lots of ripped up/exposed wires there.
So I'm going to be painting the wiring green/red/blue/purple
Whatever makes sense.
The exposed wiring, that is.
I wish i had the patience
I really like building and kitbashing
But im a bit shy about painting
I was too.
Like.
The anxiety to even start it.
But there's something VERY satisfying about getting through my pile of shame.
I don't want to have a ton of boxes in a corner forever.
I think part of it is like
I'm either building, giving it to friends or something.
I have the problem with other things on life as well
If i dont know exactly how i want somethig im hesitant about it
I just let the work inspire me.
Same with painting i dont do it enoigh to know what to expect
You'll never know until you start.
Sometimes it's fun to just start and see where it takes you.
Ghaz did not go the way I first thought.
But I really enjoy what I've done so far.
The project im working on is pauzed atm
Im waiting for some stuff i ordered
Also my flgs does painting comissions but
That feels like cheating
Have you guys seen the new Arachni Rig?
t was teased about a year or 2 ago
it looks really good
that looks sick
Dayum
The arachni rig; A heavy battle platform designed and produced by the Van Saar Foundry, their STC given right to its full power.
Now, before you flip
Ahhhhh
I want one
with all things in necromunda, thats only because there are multiple items you can attach to models that do actually
matter
ALSO GW ARMOUR UR PILOTS FFS
since necromunda is heavily WIZZYWIG
shutup
i just told you its an option
Im gonna turn these guys into my exploratory robots for my underwater chadmechians
Damn
I do see one issue
people are going to scream the ''tau have an STC SEE SEE!'' thing again
What
The lower suit resembles shadowsun's battle plate a lot
and some dumb shits are adamant the tau found an STC
Even though the Tau have little-nothing to do with necomunda
Its just the classic smooth-surface sci-fi aesthetic
more the general
''HURDUR THEY HAVE SMOOHT PLATED SUITS AND SO DO THE TAU, SEE SEE?!?!?!?!''
I mean
that and shadowsuns suit has the digitrade legs, and so this suit does also have digitrade platforms
still prepare for comments like that
most people never stfu about the tau aesthetic and say it doesnt fit the universe
when thats literally the point
i just generally stopped playing tau because of that dumb shitstick argument every time
even if the store owner stopped them from saying it, theyd go on about it during the match
''Looks a bit weird but w/e huh?''
''Oh you play tau, dont want the full 40k experience?''
Etcetera?
The full 40k experience is fight and psyker phases
Which is why nonpsyker factipns cant get it
Checkmate liberals
You can skip all those frustrations by cutting out the human interaction aspect of warhammer 😎
I have a Tau Killteam, I do hear on occasion that “Tau ain’t quite right for 40k” but it’s never been a full rant from someone
I play Tyranids in actual 40k so I never hear the “don’t want actual 40k experience?” Argument, since Nids are pretty grim dark
I dont ft it tho theyre literally just aliens
aliens gonna look weird and out of place
Yeh, that’s precisely why they don’t adhere to the imperium, or the eldar. They’re their own thing
Me personally? I came from gundam and Battletech to 40k and saw “big robot” so I bought big robot
The reason i like them is that theyre another humaoid favtion thats not human or high fantasy
I've finally been putting some work into the necrons I've been sitting on since the start of 9th edition
Thank, I'm not happy with how the shade has pooled on the overlord so the compliment is quite welcome
The pinprick eye is really good on that bottom guy
And the orange highlights are nice
you going for the Mephrit scheme?
Maynarkh
aaa
totally didn't look that up
very nice though
i was contemplating the orange gauss for a while
I'm a fan of how the orange looks on Necron models, my own hardly do it justice but I think it makes them look significantly more aggressive
i went for the green purely for how iconic it is
Yeah, pondered doing the classic dark steel and green for a while myself before fully settling on Maynarkh after seeing the shenanigans one can pull in regards to turning warriors into melee blenders through strategem support
i'm going to paint szeras in his old scheme eventually so i'll be painting the orange soon
i've got loads of overlords lying around
so i'll probably paint one for each dynasty
That sounds like a cool project
Don't have any custodes models on hand atm but this should give rough view on the proportions
Oh you lifesaver
I was looking for something like that but nobody takes good pictures
YOOO NOVAK!!!
Maynarkh, although I use the Novokh Dynastic Code on the table as it's the most fitting
time to finally commit to finishing that mech
I mean if they do a job you enjoy the look of it's up to you. For me it's just enjoying the process.
also i expect them to not want to paint kitbashed stuff
I'm going to be ordering the glass tank for my display soon, so the satisfaction of building it all and seeing it come together is what I love.
bc where do you start right
Yeah I wouldnt see much point without actually painting them and such myself
But Im sure some just like playing the game
Or such
i don't mind painting too much
Some people can't be bothered to build and paint or the time it takes or anxiety of the finished product, etc.
it's priming i hate
Good night, ET! 💖
rest easy young hero
Catch you tomorrow buddy
What issues do u have priming?
it's always either cold or wet
Ah, no place out of the elements to prime
You could always do it inside, just put it in a cardboard box and ventilate room
i suppose
Thats what I do in my garage
The box keeps paint from going eberywhere
Just dont inhale too deeply and keep a window open or a vent on
Or inhale deeply for extra inspiration
"it's fine, just don't breathe" lol

Yeah, we have a sunroom that needs to be redone anyways.
So I put down craft paper and slam my primers out.
when it was sunny out during summer i sprayed alot
Windows open in there, close the door and let them cure.
but i have alot more fun putting something together
Your basement could work the same if you have windows at all in there.
Actually i dont have time for a two hour nap apparently
Feck
Monday is my cooking day
A man and a Puppet weigh the Pros and Cons of yet another game delay in 2021 and ask the question, "Should the Total War Warhammer 3 delay annoy you?"
Honestly as long as the launch is stable and the devs arent overworked
That's fine
yeah its one of the reasons why these "OMG GAME DELAYED" vids get so obnoxious
they wanted the game to release with old world initially but have delayed it and are doing a cathy reveal soon as a sorry
Yeah im not like seething or anything just kinda FeelBad
Great for my wallet.
Stawp
Dying light 2 in december
Oh yeah
halo is still due end of this year
Really?
Ohhh games not sets sorry
I forgot my Sister can see if someone is pure or not but ecclesiarchy and Sororitas hates me....
In my DH Campaign
Low fellowship ?
I should be getting my rust paints first week of October at the latest. 
holy shit a baby carrier that actually has a sealed crew cabin
or at least the pilot isn't exposed with literally nothing stopping someone from plugging their dome
You can just say the dreadknight... or that primaris walker... or that one eldar Walker from back in the day... some sentinels maybe.
quiet
They are
finally one with a protection chassis is always a blessing 🙏
i still think the dreadknight is fine
Get em boys
Gets hit anyway cuz i shoot air-burst ammo at you 😎
H.. how what
