Same! Love how big he is compared to the other firstborn minis
Oh god im dumb, i thought grimaldus=helbrecht
Hell yeah. It's really well done.
I literally don't even want Helbrecht. LMFAO
Cool model, but I'm good.
Yeah 100% grimaldus helmet that one looks sick, im just not huge fan of the helbrecht helmet
He sent these BT to the planet to die. As he always does.
Timmy, do you know if that Castellan was mentioned for the preorders this weekend?
I dig his mini but his weird bucket helmet thingy is ugly
I was gonna say, unhelmeted Grimaldus sounds like top teir heresy
Unless he's speaking to a Princeps it's absolute heresy.
Yeah im not even sure if there is an unhelmeted grimaldus, i just confused him
All good.
π
But he does have such kind eyes...
Helsreach has been such a good book so far. I'm about halfway through.
Seems like he's coming this weekend ye
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/11/07/the-sunday-preview-is-back-in-black-this-week-with-the-second-wave-of-black-templars/
I still gotta read hellsreach, i even got the german version π
I think ADB is my favourite 40K author so far. I haven't touched any of Dan's books yet, but some of the stories he's written seem schlocky. I still want to read some of his IG stuff though.
I got the War for Armageddon omnibus. 4-5 books in one.
From all the different perspectives.
Holy shit thats a lot
Sick! Thanks for the info. He may be a fun one to pick up and just shelf.
I need to start building the actual case and set for my diorama.
Someone posted their diorama for their army which has some vibes of what I'm doing.
Let me see if I can find it.
647 votes and 24 comments so far on Reddit
There it is.
I'm going for a snowy mountain battlefield with the Orks and SM, but sort of the same vibe.
Dayum
ah yes
the 40k altar
for rituals involving the thinning of paints and burning of resin
π
Gonna rig it with lights and sounds.
And the story of the battle I'm going to write up on a giant purity seal.
Heh trust me it won't be worth seeing, I'm not much of an artistΓ©
none of us are its fine
We posted some pics a while back
in this post
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1361210/view/4134832513804541330
ye that post was great
Featuring my cadians 
but ye feel free to share here, aint no one gonna shit on it
just neat seeing what people do
@lament nymph Oooo! Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna peep.
Darktide painting competition when? π³
Bobo wins. Flawless victory.
Fr tho i mean... we still got the contest chat π
I might just want that to happen to see ur lads minis
If I had infinite money, I'd buy a model for all the participants and then have them all do their own unique spin on it
it'd even the playing field, and it'd be cool to see what everyone comes up with.
Unfortunately, I'm a broke college student and any single model can be upwards of 40$
That would be a sick contest.
See how people alter models and stuff with only what's in the box.
Alright. Today I'm base coating ALL of my Ork Boys.
I want to see some fucking colour finally on my diorama.
When darktide came out I was gonna be like "can I make my own darktideesque crew?" But then I thought nah. I got such a backlog.... I'll wait until I finish these.
... and I did neither of those things lmao
LMFAO
Yeah, my backlog is massive for now.
Soon it'll be way smaller.
Necrons are out of the way.
Orks to do.
And then it's really just BT.
Just gotta add some more cables from the minigun.
Going to the backpack and shit.
But we got him just how we wanted. π
Yeah. Just covering shit up to make this look more natural. LMFAO
I just wanna cover up the wiring attaching to the minigun block and I think it'll be blended right.
God i love that sword
Just trying to invoke the Forge Master from Helsreach.
It described him handing his weapons (a sword and bolter) to his mechanical arms
Still gotta read hellsreach so no idea what he looks like
While he furiously typed.
Ah right
Thats always very sick imo
Hell yeah.
Sadly Jurisian is never fully described.
So this is just me having fun with it.
He was an absolute fucking master of tech though.
So why not figuring out how to attach a Redemptor weapon to his pack.
Same idea.
God i love them
Migh convert something like that for my red corsairs at some point, as some kind of warpsmith
A model for alpha primus would be really cool
if youve read the great work you know who that is
That reminds me. There's a book I need to try and find.
About a small crew living inside a Titan.
(alpha primus was cawls first prototype for the primaris marines if your wondering hes basically a super powerful psyker thats not a librarian and is in constant great pain but has learned to tolerate it immensely)
And he wears armor that looks like bleached bone because apparently whatever he wears just turns that color for some reason
This fucking primer is going to be the end of.me.
This shit ruined all my Orks. I have to like... Multi stroke the fuck out of every bit of contrast I add because it's not sticking at ALL.
Krylon is fucking garbage.
Army Painter is so fucking good. This is seriously so frustrating.
I also just spilled my green while angrily adding strokes again and again.
This is not my day for painting. LMFAO
Sending you hugs for today's painting misadventures π©
Still cant decide if i should wait for the bits to arrive so i can paint the shotgun dude or if i should just start a random terminator first, hope they arrives tomorrow, otherwise terminator it is
Ork pog!
LMFAO
God I love that movie.
Same
I always seem to catch it on TV right as the Opera starts
Oh shit! That's a beautiful cover for it.
Ngl, I'd be interested in a tabletop rpg of that world lmao

Im painting my Brood Brothers and the absolute downgrade it is to be painting the ancient cadian sculpts
Compared to the usual cult models
π
With the older sculpts, It's not really that they're bad, it's just that they get a bit.. boring, detail wise
Lots of smooth surfaces without much detail
+I think some of them got a bit melty/bended barrels
Ranger rifles have the same problem so I hear
Ooo Charge reflection is in TWW3
apparently it's sorta weird, basically just buffs the weapon strength massively of the unit being charged for some amount of time
so will have to see how impactful that actually is
it's basically just like. we need to make it worth it to actually brace rather than just countercharge so lets make halberds deal more damage back when braced than they would countercharging
bring back the old days of a single phalanx soling armies
ok what did i just witness is that vanilla
rome 2 what are u doing
god I have no idea
Its goimg to be nice to give halberd inf more ways to bean charging things
Charging a monster into elite halberds now RLLY gomma hurt if it multiplies weapon strength
Yee I hope it makes halberds actually good
Will have to see how it functions in practice
Theyre the only things i can paint good π
Smooth surface > odd textured surface
Saves a lot of work and time
(If you usually highlight everything like a madman at least)
But rn im cautiously taking a step back from getting more IG since im curious to see if were gonna get updates that will offer higher quality models or not
Also post ur minis et 
Im on the shitter
D:
Besides i was stupid and left my hobby box at my parents house wehn i was last there
Oh damn :(
Like for reasons i dont care about anymore now so now i just feel stupid about it
But yeah like
Idk which way ig is gonna head
Are higher quality models gonna be the norm now, are old cadian bits going to look out of place
WTF is this?! It is hilarious!
Ya boi is sketching again
Holy shit ur good at drawing!
The hair was really difficult this time around because the reference photo looked really flat and didn't have it very strongly lit to pick out details in it
So I had to take some liberties with it
yee, particuarly with flat hair it's hard to make it look not just like. ah yes
the blank head monolith
She has pretty curly hair but in that photo it just looked a lot smoother than normal
Not sure which one to build
The blue variant is the best looking one imo
Iβve got 3 of them i guess
All 3 blue variant!!
Choice paralysis time?
Superior magnet choice
:c
Imagine not 100% committing to your choice and being able to change it in case you arent happy with it
I canβt imagine trying to magnetise the ball joints
magnets are stored in the balls
Fair

wee cutie
I may be doing somthing cursed with my free squig model
cursed ye say?
How cursed we talking?
mario when the fire flower
Gonna have 5 Goff's, Evil Sunz, etc.
5 of the 4 major clans.
So LOTS of colour variety on the board.
Me too, honestly. It's so nice to have all this colour.
From all black figures to these.
Alrighty this is still WIP buuut
SQUIGICORN!!!!
baby
I shall name her....
This is in every way blessed
Krumpstallion
Where's the cursed content?
She's a treasure
No curse, only cute nugget
On to da mouf
Now thats cursed
mildlyattractive jack
SO CUTE!
Slowly getting more colour on these guys.
Fuck this stupid primer.
I'm just glad that.once I'm done base coating everything will hold paint really easily.
Just gotta do my browns, and greys.
So much slippery stupid surface to cover.
Damn thats super smooth! Great job π
look at those GNASHERS
yeah im bri'ish
! oh actually speaking of teeth
earlier today i picked up a package at the dorm from the single most characterful delivery guy i've ever seen
big bearded 50s ish dude, half his teeth, pleasure doing business with u when he handed me the package and then kinda just gandered off back down the street while singing
it had tom bombadil energy
he looked super wholesome
That does sound very much like a real world Bombadil
probably was
he even had the right voice?? was v deep
one of the delivery drivers for my street gave me a bible verse and a jpeg of jesus on a piece of paper with my package and left
A far inferior delivery experience
DEY'Z PUTTIN KEMICALZ IN DA WATER DAT TURN DA ZOGGIN SQUIGS GAY
The horn do be looking like a gay third eye head on
Primed in ulthuan grey, contrast coat of apothocary white, dry brushed of original coat
So contrast of apo, gotcha
Bouncing on your squigs third eye
I never used it but sounds like a good paint
Hell yeah
Sure looks like it
@vivid rune Dont forget to post the finished mini on reddit later to get some chuds 
Jesus fuckjng christ did that really trigger people?!
Fuckkng hell they call me a fucking snowflake
Tell me about it tbh
UltraLove
I'm just surprised people are using space marines when talking about tolerance, diversity and respect
OUT-OF-UNIVERSE I mean
If anything it's even better to use them to represent it.
"Fuck you and your little hateful box that you put everything into".
Yeah its also why I support the goofy-cartoon artwork warhammer community does with them among other stuff
The only thing that triggers me in that photo is the mold line
I mean yeah but you can't ignore that for example BT was and still is mostly used by chuds
You can reclaim it but its like using pepes and not accepting the fact that it was used by alt right stuff
I mean they can keep doing it if they want, the majority of people will still brush it off and not give it attention 
as long as they're publicly outed/shown being dumbasses as usual its pretty fine
Its about having fun
mostly
For people with half a brain it's about fun and a hobby.
If you can't separate it from some bigger stupid political ideology people try and push onto plastic figures that's not my problem .
I'm gonna enjoy my hobby and stories in a vacuum.
Everyone tries to make everything political. It's pushed into any form of media or entertainment.
It's so fucking lame.
I want to enjoy something without it having to be some secret statement of how liberal or conservative I actually should be because I like X.
That and warhammer minis being political statements/jabs was like way back in rogue trader with nazi orks and whatnot lmao
Now its just done because people like an aesthetic and it makes bank
hence why templars are selling like hotcakes right now etc
i'm considering getting helbrecht
he is pretty sexy
If you think Helbrecht, with or without his helmet would fit in sure
it's him or the indomitus captain
but i want to get rid of all the religious shit
which is awkward
Why not both and use the captain as a right hand
hmmmmmmmm
Or you could go the way of "Our previous CM dissapeared so we elected another guy"
Kind of like Carlgar / Gulliman relationship
yeah
i haven't really finalised an idea for them yet
other than i want as little religious iconography on them as possible
and perhaps knightly helmets
i don't like the mk3 helmets lol
idk why
i've got some grey knight heads
the helmet for the indom captain is a good fit
That works too.
but helbrecht has alot more presence
Paladins are great for knight helms.
Helbrecht is an extremely static pose. Also stabbing an orc.
So keep that in mind.
I do feel like minis have progressively had more and more static poses
The fact that a lot of sprues are monopose now also doesn't help
Yeah. π It requires you to get a LOT more creative.
Which I don't mind. Kitbashing is very interesting now.
But it seemed way easier with old figures.
More creative or also to buy more stuff
Both. LMFAO
gorgeous
What happens if you get stabbed by the horn
death
At least it's guaranteed to be an equal opportunist chomper
SQUIGSTAALEEON!! DA LAST OF DA SGUIGICORNS
very nice
I also just noticed the tiny mushroom and it's kind of adorable
damn i want a chaos lord in termintator armor, its sucha good model
jezus fuck this community sometimes
Some dude posted his titan cardboard mockup and went ''Almost time to paint''
Someone in the comments; uhm, no. you have so much more to do.
do people not understand, you can literally play warhammer 40k with pennies?
who cares about what the model looks like
i find it even more agregious that the dude says
lmao-
also i do not understandw hy people are getting mad that GW is having a survey so they can improve
its a survey- so they know what the community thinks??? isnt that a good thing???
Cause they dont read them lmao
they just zone in on the ones they like
if we collectively fill out shit that says; stop pandering to marines and give all factions some love
You have not spent the required $1000 on a resin model. You have a lot of work to do still.
LMFAO
Cringe.
I hate that some of this community is such a shitsmear and doesn't support people's creativity.
i had it with my pigments
people got mad i didnt use the base way to learn it but just fucked about and found out
That plasma cannon looks solid for cardboard though.
What do you mean?
so i responded with; Oh im sorry im not up to your standards, luckily this is my model π
basically
the way you lock vibrant pigments onto a model for say, plasma
im not gonan say i like it but im gonna say its better than spending a few hundred dollars on it
Really great
is that you use an atomizer to apply a spray on a thinner that settles the pigments
But
instead i took a wet brush and applied them in one go
which worked just fine
Good thing it's your model. π
but some chud was like THJATCHS NJHOT THBE GHOOD WHEY
Is this your model?
Literally I don't even own a sprayer. So LMFAO
atomizers are as good as a spray bottle with a small nozzle
My plasma effect has to be completely hand painted and will never be as clean as a spray.
anyway the guy got mad i didnt apply it with that
Yeah, i read, but this confused me
reread the text below
Hoes mad x10
aye
i just learnt that being flamboyant while rejecting their comments makes them really pissy
Oh, pigments
Also someone commented a while back on ''why are we even painting anymore this hobby is dying''
so his comment got removed for false news
π§
That's hilarious. I would say due to COVID the hobby has probably never been more booming.
Literally most of the world had to find isolated hobbies. This one exploded.
Based!
Imperium stan moment
The finished one is further down
π
Followed
@quaint halo thank! Followed back
So I may have just accidentally christened my Black Templar dreadnaught in my blood while scraping mold lines off
π
As it should be
I followed. Your work is beautiful!
@median pumice chad, thankyou
Just realized the pumpkin in the background π love it!
Bloody hell gw
For real now? I might move to turkey then lmfao
Also holy shit the black templar dude is fucking huge
WHAT A CHONKA
thicc with the emperor's might
Hes huge because hes hot hueg wrath
Beautiful though.
houses in turkey cost 700 euros?
Which part of Turkey?
Contrast layer is FINALLY done.
Which means real painting can be done.
As a forewarning to everyone. Do NOT use Krylon primer & paint in one for priming models.
This just made a 2 hour process a 4+.
Yes.
brb while i go and buy a city block in istanbul
only to get thrown out again bc i only know dirty words in turkish
Damn time to move to Turkey if its that cheap for a house
Ayyyy. The items are up now. Pre-ordered my Grimaldus. π
All my stupid shit is purchased finally.
Thank GOD I'm done buying models.
helbrecht and grimaldus are actually cheaper than i thought they would be
Thank god. Grimaldus is 4 models tooN
Slapping my metals on now.
And then I'm gonna put a pin in painting today.
Building this guy currently
still torn as to what i want to commit him as
not sure whether to go with the battlewagon/bonebreaka combo, or the gunwagon/battlewagon combo
Combo sounds badass!
Getting ready fore the final fight
Decided to build where I can get all 3 variants if I wanted
Ork truck!!
Deff rolla and guns aren't glued for hot swapping
Neat
Nice!
Oh so you can use it like a troop carrier/mobile shooting platform for the lads!! Luv
... i... just imagined a looted optimus prime
i think i saw art of that once
Ok sanding that wall wont work, gonna try to use some of the greenstuff i have left to fix it tomorrow (well today actually but later this day since its 1am rn)
what happened?
Applied glue and then sanded it
Very overexaggerated but the wall isnt flat enought
(Also ignore all the sanded plastic dust, imma find a way to remove it)
Anyways sleep now
See ya
!! Sleep well
i will say that while i agree with @sour hill that krylon is not great, their red oxide primer is really awesome
I think it's just the kind I have, honestly.
I don't think what I got is meant to be painted on at ALL.
LMFAO
oh did you get a paint + primer combo?
Yepppp.
that'll do it
I didn't even get it with the intent to use it for miniatures.
I just had ran out of my Army Painter stuff.
Which is my 100% go to.
my go to primer is rustoleum
that stuff has amazing coverage
i just needed red oxide for my battlewagon
Love the new pfp @sour hill
β€οΈ
Primed and ready for painting
is that liber daemonica dreadnought panels?
Yeah
nice, they have really cool stuff
Yeah they do
After buying my black Templar box a couple weeks ago, I felt that the Dreadnaught needed a bit more characteristic other than a paint job
So now we prime and paint π
Really excited to put him next to the marshal
pew-pew
Loving the model @verbal sapphire
He might've blown both his hands off already, but a trip to the local warpsmith has him back on plasma-akimbo action
Only if he rolls a one πππ
I love him! Only criticism is can you please paint his base rim? That would def improve his overall look
Also love your kitbash! Did something similar with the champion of an old csm squad, 2 plasma pistols isnt used often enought imo
Oh my friend he is not done by a long shot, only reason I stopped painting him is that I took the LSAT exam to enter lawschool
Oooh mb then
if theyre whispering you should see a doc
ork grunt quietly: "waaaa...gh"
Finally finishing up my Orks.
Gotta paint the eyes and then it's shading.
Tons and tons of shading.
My biggest fear is eyes
Whatβs the strat?
Cause i have 3 more fimir to do at some point
I have a superfine detail brush from AP.
Step 1: Place your hands on the table to reduce shaking as much as possible
Step 2: Paint the eyes white
Step 3: Add the pupil
Step 4: Fuck step 3 up and cry
Step 5: Cry a lot
Wet the brush, open the pot and barely dip the tip into the paint. Then I literally just slowly dot the eye into the center as best I can.
At least thats my goto method
And yeah...what if i told you that's part of the reason why I prime white? ποΈ
I don't have to white the eyes.
Just drop a pupil in.
Like the eye itself isnt that hard, painting the pupil without making it too large is terrible
Super blown out pic
Holy fuck atlas is that a fimir?
Shiny boy. π³
That was me holding it with both hands and having someone else dot it
It's hard AF.
Legit lock your elbows onto a table
Least amount of shaking.
And exhale while painting.
Like. Moving up to dot it.
My best model probably. Most proud iβve ever been, and i really like how my blightkings came out
Got two more of them and a noble to do
And I personally love the "dirty" skin look.
See
Pop shading like that looks nice and grim.
There was no way i would get the scale texture
So i just made him pale with a green wash
Make his under bits more yellow
I donβt like how wet he looks in photos
Naked eye itβs really good
Tutorial by Darren Latham. Reemerged from the warp.
Neat vid, i timestamped where he starts painting the eyes
Idk if iβd bother doing eyes on a smaller mini tbf
Fimir are cycloptian tho
Eye is an eye catcher

Oooo. I'll have to check out.
Yee on a fimir i could prolly pull a decent eye off but on smaller minis.. well rip
Check out the other vids too, dude is a legend!!! Former gw eavy metal painter, now gw mini designer, made a lot of tutorials but then gw yeeted his channel (very likely at least) so this rando reuploaded all of his vids
Smol tip
What a weapon
It works very well. π
Yeah! You could use that too.
Extra fine tip.
They sell ones specifically for hobbying too.
Damn
Variety of colours if you want too.
Might be a shout actually
Yeah. People use them for Gundam kits and shit.
I'm so pumped to be finishing up these boys today.
The shading is really finishing them up.
That shading is really good! How long does each boy take you?
Hmmm.
It's hard to say. I batched ALL of these guys together.
I'd say this whole swath of Boyz took me maybe 12 hours total? It's really hard to say. I just sit down and 3-4 hours go by.
Probably 3 sessions total.
Helldrakes are so much fun to paint!
Looks dope
Thanks, Iβm (slowly) working on a Thousand Sons daemon engine heavy army.
My fave are the recon drones
'recon' drone my ass, those things have a massive gun tube
Which way to the front?
Alright. My boys are all shaded now.
I think I need to put a pin in painting for the night now.
I'll finish up final details and then start doing bases later this week.
the only valid german krieg interpretation
Got a LOT of small detail work to do now...as well as rust effect on swords and spikes.
Quick reminder that gw's spray paint will always look slightly different than the bottle paint, the plate is bottle mephiston red and the trim above it is spray mephiston red
Glad its still visible on my crappy pic
(Also ideads for the chapter of the helmet on his back are apprechiated)
well yes
cause spray is more loaded with pigment due to cluttering inside the nozzle
that and you get better coats quicker with spray
The tube is full of snacks and blankets for the pathfinder squad
full of love and care
Recon drone is mother goose for the squad
I like to imagine all these lil blades come outta the rim and it just bayblades the fucker
Recon drones my beloved
Assault intercessor I made at my brothers weekly paint night
I thought itβd be fun to paint something that isnβt deathwatch for once, and I was right
Total jam
It's so fun to actually have colour for once! That's why Orks were very fun to finally do.
Handsome Intercessor though. π³ π
Red chainsword is best chainsword.
Gawain starting his journey into edge highlighting i see π
Been doing for a while, I'm just getting more confident with it now
I used to only do knees and pauldrons, now I'm doing the whole kit and kaboodle
you can do it!
its a pain to learn edge highlights tbh
especially for like
black
I use administratum grey for black, white is too jarring
i use uhh
dark reaper and then super fine highlight with fenris
(i'll finish this model one day)
I use eshin grey/skavenblight dinge for the wide highlight, fenresian grey for the fine one and ulthuan grey for the sharpest corners
Nice Ass
from what legion/warband is the terminator?
Hes going to be a red corsair!
Aaahh, a santa klaus then
I would say a red scorpion's helmet
They were the main first enemy in the badab war
Also some stuff i ordered from gw arrived and now i could theoretically paint the 3 bfg ships i got on ebay a long time ago!! Just gotta fix some stuff the previous owner fucked up and i have to remove some of the patches of color the stripping couldnt remove but after that at least 1 of them is ready to be painted
Nice
I might get an Eldar army. They were my favorite to play as in dawn of war.
Neat idea, yeah! Would kinda make sense that he just kept it since the badab war.
Or well actually not really since its a primaris helmet. Just realized :(
Maybe he met just another primaris red scorpion "recently" and took his helmet after shooting him in the face
I wish the striking scorpions were in DoW that would make a huge difference.
you could make it even more chaotic then and make it a lamenter helmet
Hehe :)
'the strong are strongest alone' as the red corsair kills one of his former brethren
I kinda try to go for a different, quite some time after the badab war army with marines originating from quite a few different chapters they met over the years, tho i think it would make sense since terminators are usually old af and in my case one of the few that were present during the badab war
well the lamenters got their primaris after their penitent crusade. And how the warp is not consistent with time those termies could be fighting old lamenters and primaris lamenters within a decade
Do these red corsairs show iconography of previous warbands, chapters or legions?
Nope
Wouldnt make a lot of sense imo
They left their old loyalist time behind
(Also my red corsairs always try diplomacy first)
i am now imagining a red corsair drinking tea with a planetary governor
(And if that doesnt work they apply violence and tons of cultists, religious extremists and other scum my dark apostles are responsible for)
now you are talking to my word bearers heart
Yee its usually the imperium thats "nooo renegade bad" and just attack like the dumb fucks they are
i wanted to make the tyrant's legion and i am still on it kinda
Tho its worth noting that the majority of my marines doesnt like the chaos gods, they arent the "evil chaos with mutated features" gw usually does, instead they simply turned away from the imperium
so more renegade then heretic
Yee exactly
Renegade mostly without chaos
Minus the few apostles i have for starting chaos cults and shit
are you also gonna make said chaos cult or are you just gonna keep it to a lore thingy??
Oh i have quite a few renegade militia dudes and plan on adding more random mercenaries, cultists, mutants ect to throw at the enemy, im just a super slow painter
I'm slow as well but nobody is pushing
i hope
Well im off for now
Here is the latest marine i finished, there should be standalone pics above but im too lazy to scroll through this
See ya
Also some stuff i ordered from gw arrived and now i could theoretically paint the 3 bfg ships i got on ebay a long time ago!! Just gotta fix some stuff the previous owner fucked up and i have to remove some of the patches of color the stripping couldnt remove but after that at least 1 of them is ready to be painted
Ohio.
Oh right!
No, Ohio
Chapin... my head
Why are y'all greeting each other so much? And since when were you Japanese, Chapin?
that is, since when were you fluent in it
Petition to rename this server to "pun hell"
Aaaa
Pun-gatory
Oooo
Fancy lady
Could I pay for a similar style portrait?
No need to pay
I insist
If I rendered it like an actual miniature, I would
But also, banking trouble, so I'd rather not
Plus
Okie
These are still very much amateur pieces, so need to dish out any cash
Like if I rendered this, I'd probably ask for moneys
but kontos
Well if you are interested in drawing me id be happy to be drawn! π
free money
I know, but Internet frenship and banking issues
I pay artists regardless of percieved "quality"
Hell
The only original piece or art i want to own
Is fucking "Piss Christ"
I'm ultimately not surprised
Its such an iconic yet extremely fucking aweful piece
The first time I saw it
All I thought was that the man was very horribly dehydrated
But yeah, any photo you want, I'll give it a shot and try to sketch it in such a manner
Exactly
Thankyou! Ill try and find the perfect one
.... i read the text here as "door gang" and I'm in the middle of my break room laugh crying lmao
Oh god lmao
Ill use a copier to digitally upload it and resell it as an nft for thousands 
Chad move

Put a hat on em with a monkey on it. Because apparently monkeys sell.
Um askually theyre apes
Puddles, I adore you. But that sentence made my mind just blank out for a second lmao
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA I WILL MAKE THE SEQUEL TO PISS CHRIST AND NOBODY WILL STOP ME MUAHAHAHAHAHA

It couldnt be worse than Shit Christ
It's a sequel, but also a prequel, make it a crucified monkey

Assembeling molotiv boi rn π©

Bright red, bright yellow, freehand flames π
No kkk dilly :(
What heresy is this?
The best kind of heresy
No Iβm not being ironic
Neither am i
Don't these guys appear in Hellsing ultimate ?
Don't remember which cult they are associated with
the Papal Knights yeah
I didnt know back then that pointed hoods were an actual religious thing before the clan ruined it lol
Thanks, my knowledge in religion is sorely lacking when its not someone widespread
Yee give this a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capirote
A capirote is a Catholic pointed hat of conical form that is used in Spain by members of a confraternity of penitents. It is part of the uniform of such brotherhoods including the Nazarenos and Fariseos during Easter observances and reenactments in some areas during Holy Week in Spain and its former colonies, though similar hoods are common in o...
Shame everybody instantly goes kkk nowadays
Wow bobo stop linking kkk gatherings
omg bobo !
Well they look like the typical inflated executioner hat from WHF
nah executioner capes tend to be more deflated
Capirote are worn by penitents so that attention is not drawn towards themselves as they repent, but instead to God.
Lmao what
huh explains why the cultists use them then
How you gonna wear that fuckin getup and say "this is to avoid drawing attention to myself"
Religion Plsβ’οΈ
Because you will be pointed to the sky
You know what avoids drawing attention? Regular ass clothes
No its more of a "dont look at my face, it isnt important" i would assume
Yeee probably
Look at my fuckin hat instead
But unironically if i ever aquire some of the old redemptionists with capirotes i will always post this link lmao
Bruh he pokin somebodys eye out
damn dude hes gonna kill someone
Those hats are dangerous
Why do you think the KKK try so badly to emulate them then?
We were talking about art
My mind immediately went to hellsing abridged <_<
Never watched hellsing, come at me βοΈ
.... pls watch hellsing abridged.
Might do at some point, would prolly work good to watch that while cleaning off ur minis
YO DANDY DICK! YA MISSED!
If you're in the business of descending ladders.
Sound effect from Youtube audio library.
My Orks are DONE.
LETS FUCKING GOOO.
All shading, basing, details, etc.
Gonna let them cure and then varnish them all.
I probably need another can too π
Looks damn nice
π
Let me get a good pic of one of my favourite fellas.
And this brave boy that has killed a blueberry.
Urge to drill rises
Red Faction is the greatest GSC game. Its got everything youd want
Blasting charges
Industrial equipmeny
A big tonka truck to run over tyrants with
And youre bald
Original Red Faction has the most fantastic burrowing with explosives.
That was THE FPS to play.
We'd give each other 10 minutes to burrow tunnels into the walls
And then try and find each other before blasting one another apart.
@vivid rune Helllll yeah.
Next project is my BT. Including Grimaldus I just ordered and I've got a Leviathan and Contemptor Dread on the way too.
Once that's done, I'm straight up FINISHED with models and painting. But until then I need to start building my diorama.
I think I want to do the lighting and sound first.
I want there to be buttons you press on the case. One will have me shouting as SMs/talking over vox comms/etc. The other is going to be the sound of me screaming WAAAAAGGGHHHH and layer stubbers firing over it.
Lighting is gonna be green LEDs. For the tomb world under the battle. Maybe I'll rig lighting into the Keep up top as well so it shines a light through the doors.
Pogers
I've almost finished painting the like, 1.5k pt of Cult I have
like 75% done with just characters and a rockgrinder to go really
Hoping to finish before December because I intend on filling up to 2k with the new codex
Oh shit! Send some pics. I'd love to see.
Once I'm done I will(also because they're in a box from transport rn fhdnfd)
If I had unlimited painting time I'd probably do some Harlequins and GSC. They're some of my favourite xenos factions.
I can find some tho hang on
Yesss
Grey, blue and that classic GS purple.
GS purple is what I used for my sneaky Orks. π
It's perfection.
I painted my neophytes' cloth with this orange sort of color and they came out looking vaguely like ghostbusters because of the orange/grey, so I switched over to the light blue/grey for everything else FHNF
It's perfect!
I need to try and do some colour matching at some point.
I need to make a VERY specific purple
GSC purple is very grey and matte which I like, but I'm trying to make this like... Violet colour.
My idea is for the Emperor's Champions blade to be edged in this purple instead of stupid silver or whatever.
I want that purple.
ooo I like that blade
Maybe Naggaroth night + something?
Hmmm. Let me look up that colour.
It's a very deep purple
Yeah! The idea that it's the Black Blade just seems appropriate it has this like...dark resonating colour.
Shyish purple
Its a contast
Its a dark fucking purple
I use it for my hedonites to make glossy latex
Hmmm.
Its like that almost black purple when painted over a lighter purple
Naggaroth looks fantastic. Let me see Shyish. Maybe I can edge it with the naggaroth and then put contrast over.
god I'm seeing like 30 neophytes on ebay for like $40 which is an amazing deal but I rlly dont know if I have the strength to paint that many neophytes
I batchpainted 20 at once and I wanted to die afterwards
How do people do that
I literally spend days on a single mini
I cant not overlook anything
It would take me literal years to paint cults if I took that long even though I wish I could
Even if its in a single dude in a group of 20
Elf has the exact same thing FDSN
It has to be perfect
She has a hard time doing large inf blocks but likes vehicles because of that
IT HAS TO BE
I'm going to have to paint her wyches/kabalites/wracks
I like low count elite stuff because of that
She does my RR's and Goliaths
Shyish is the perfect mirror (in contrast) to Naggaroth.
Maybe I'll just get both and experiment.
I've just started to get the process of speed painting down to a function I like.
I LOVE contrasts. I use them as my base layer for every mini and it pays off.
It gives me early high and low lights to play with.
If i want white pinky flesh, i just do Guilliman flesh over wraith bone and ill drybrush whatever skin tone lightness i want
And layers so nice with another thin layer.
It makes any skin tone except darker skins like brown or black
Yeah. I want to try out ebony skin tones at some point.
I feel like you just have to build up from a light base slowly.
I was going to do that for my stormcasts
But i fell in love with a subfaction where they all look undead as fuck
So they got all goopy zombie skin
Anvils of Heldenhammer are so fucking cool
With the ebony skin and white beard.
Yea hes cool as fuck
Such a fucking stud.
He fought as a mortal during the battle of the burning skies
He was the last dude to cross the gates to Azyr before they were closed
This mortal fucking man fought along side a literal fucking god in a fight they knew they were losing
I knew nothing about him but respect him even more.
Now he commands the main subfaction for stormcasts
That's sick.
Eventually I'll dive into AoS stuff too. I want a collection of books to go through.
Beside my 40K stuff.
Their battletome is really nice
I need to find fun bookends for it too.
Its full of very inspiring and grimdark stories
My favorite being the stormcast woman who found out her son was a leader of a slaaneshi cult
And in trying to capture and convert him was killed and reforged time and time again
Only for her cohort to finally get him rangled and presented to her
And she IMMEDIATELY fucking kills him because she had been reforged so much she forgot who he was
Damnnn
I need to read some Gortrek stuff, but also want to find other stories. Especially if there's any fun Skaven books.
Read the new gotrek books to get into AoS
You dont need to audio drama but its good too
Otherwise Ghoul Slayer is a good start
π
Spooky scary sleepy sparking skele-dudes
Doing testing colors for em
Better photo
My first actual Necrons yes
I did it backwards and started with the Ctan, and only now am I actually getting Warriors
They are looking pretty sick too ngl
How many people actually play black Templars? I know people like the crusader look but all this black templar exclusive new content seems like a bit much. At least itβs better than Ultramarines
Man that has to be either eldar or necron
