#

100% using the helmet he's coming with. It's this sick combo of Primaris and old school grill.

#

I'm a huge fan.

lapis tundra
#

Same! Love how big he is compared to the other firstborn minis

lapis tundra
sour hill
#

Hell yeah. It's really well done.

#

I literally don't even want Helbrecht. LMFAO

#

Cool model, but I'm good.

lapis tundra
#

Yeah 100% grimaldus helmet that one looks sick, im just not huge fan of the helbrecht helmet

sour hill
#

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?

lapis tundra
#

I dig his mini but his weird bucket helmet thingy is ugly

lament nymph
#

I was gonna say, unhelmeted Grimaldus sounds like top teir heresy

sour hill
#

Unless he's speaking to a Princeps it's absolute heresy.

lapis tundra
#

Yeah im not even sure if there is an unhelmeted grimaldus, i just confused him

sour hill
#

All good.

#

πŸ’–

#

But he does have such kind eyes...

#

Helsreach has been such a good book so far. I'm about halfway through.

lapis tundra
#

I still gotta read hellsreach, i even got the german version 😎

sour hill
#

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.

sour hill
#

From all the different perspectives.

lapis tundra
#

Holy shit thats a lot

sour hill
#

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.

#

There it is.

#

I'm going for a snowy mountain battlefield with the Orks and SM, but sort of the same vibe.

lapis tundra
#

Dayum

sour hill
#

Right?

#

I'm gonna sculpt some massive thing for that 40K table in my office.

dusk hill
#

ah yes

#

the 40k altar

#

for rituals involving the thinning of paints and burning of resin

sour hill
#

πŸ™

#

Gonna rig it with lights and sounds.

#

And the story of the battle I'm going to write up on a giant purity seal.

hasty sorrel
#

better post finished models

sour hill
#

100%

#

I wanna see some Fatshark people who dig the hobby post some models.

#

#

but ye feel free to share here, aint no one gonna shit on it

#

just neat seeing what people do

sour hill
#

@lament nymph Oooo! Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna peep.

lapis tundra
#

Darktide painting competition when? 😳

sour hill
#

Bobo wins. Flawless victory.

lapis tundra
#

Nooo

#

Did you see beis minis?

dusk osprey
#

Yeah I'm pretty sure Beis wins that

#

Dude's models are really amazing

sour hill
#

Damn. Yeah. He's really talented too.

#

Lots of talented painters here.

lapis tundra
#

Fr tho i mean... we still got the contest chat πŸ‘€

#

I might just want that to happen to see ur lads minis

sour hill
#

πŸ˜‚

#

100% same.

dusk osprey
#

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$

sour hill
#

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.

median pumice
#

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

sour hill
#

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. πŸ™

#

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.

lapis tundra
#

God i love that sword

sour hill
#

Just trying to invoke the Forge Master from Helsreach.

#

It described him handing his weapons (a sword and bolter) to his mechanical arms

lapis tundra
#

Still gotta read hellsreach so no idea what he looks like

sour hill
#

While he furiously typed.

lapis tundra
#

Thats always very sick imo

sour hill
#

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.

lapis tundra
#

God i love them

#

Migh convert something like that for my red corsairs at some point, as some kind of warpsmith

sour hill
#

Tech Marines in general are just very cool.

#

Hell yeah!

sweet hull
#

A model for alpha primus would be really cool

#

if youve read the great work you know who that is

sour hill
#

That reminds me. There's a book I need to try and find.

#

About a small crew living inside a Titan.

sweet hull
#

(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

sour hill
#

Oh shit. That sounds so k.

#

Sick*

sour hill
#

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.

vivid rune
#

Yes

#

Yes it us

sour hill
#

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

void orchid
#

Sending you hugs for today's painting misadventures 😩

lapis tundra
#

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

Im painting my Brood Brothers and the absolute downgrade it is to be painting the ancient cadian sculpts

#

Compared to the usual cult models

edgy cipher
#

πŸ˜”

elfin yew
#

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

elfin yew
#

Ooo Charge reflection is in TWW3

dusk hill
#

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

elfin yew
#

Yess

dusk hill
#

bring back the old days of a single phalanx soling armies

dusk hill
#

rome 2 what are u doing

elfin yew
#

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

proud gorge
#

god

#

the classic fuckin single phalanx on a bridge

#

or single phalanx in a gate

dusk hill
#

Will have to see how it functions in practice

twilit cliff
lapis tundra
#

Smooth surface > odd textured surface

#

Saves a lot of work and time

#

(If you usually highlight everything like a madman at least)

twilit cliff
#

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

lapis tundra

Also post ur minis et laspistol

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

#

Ya boi is sketching again

dusk hill
#

!! that's amazing!

#

particularly like the hair, i suck at sketching that

lapis tundra
#

Holy shit ur good at drawing!

arctic ridge
#

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

dusk hill
#

yee, particuarly with flat hair it's hard to make it look not just like. ah yes

#

the blank head monolith

arctic ridge
#

She has pretty curly hair but in that photo it just looked a lot smoother than normal

rose sluice
#

Not sure which one to build

lapis tundra
#

The blue variant is the best looking one imo

rose sluice
#

I’ve got 3 of them i guess

lapis tundra
#

All 3 blue variant!!

arctic ridge
#

Choice paralysis time?

edgy cipher

Superior magnet choice

lapis tundra

:c

Imagine not 100% committing to your choice and being able to change it in case you arent happy with it

#

Alright. These Ork Boys are starting to look like fucking Mario right now. LMFAO

rose sluice
#

mario when the fire flower

sour hill
#

Gonna have 5 Goff's, Evil Sunz, etc.

#

5 of the 4 major clans.

#

So LOTS of colour variety on the board.

rose sluice
#

very nice

#

unironically like the mario boyz though

sour hill
#

Me too, honestly. It's so nice to have all this colour.

#

From all black figures to these.

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.

Also lovely orks! Really like the idea of seperating squads with colors!

Mouf done!

look at those GNASHERS

dusk hill
#

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

arctic ridge
#

That does sound very much like a real world Bombadil

rose sluice
#

probably was

dusk hill
#

he even had the right voice?? was v deep

rose sluice
#

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

edgy cipher
#

I'm just surprised people are using space marines when talking about tolerance, diversity and respect

crisp forge
#

I mean

#

they're just plastic toys

#

they dont really represent anything much

crisp forge
#

OUT-OF-UNIVERSE I mean

sour hill
#

If anything it's even better to use them to represent it.

#

"Fuck you and your little hateful box that you put everything into".

crisp forge
#

Yeah its also why I support the goofy-cartoon artwork warhammer community does with them among other stuff

sour hill
#

I'm taking it all back for tolerance.

#

πŸ™

quaint halo
#

The only thing that triggers me in that photo is the mold line

edgy cipher
#

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

crisp forge
#

I mean they can keep doing it if they want, the majority of people will still brush it off and not give it attention shrug

#

as long as they're publicly outed/shown being dumbasses as usual its pretty fine

#

Its about having fun

#

mostly

sour hill
#

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.

crisp forge
#

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

rose sluice
#

i'm considering getting helbrecht

crisp forge
#

he is pretty sexy

rose sluice
#

i want to make a chapter master for a custom chapter

#

he might work

edgy cipher
#

If you think Helbrecht, with or without his helmet would fit in sure

rose sluice
#

it's him or the indomitus captain

#

but i want to get rid of all the religious shit

#

which is awkward

edgy cipher
#

Why not both and use the captain as a right hand

rose sluice
#

hmmmmmmmm

edgy cipher
#

Or you could go the way of "Our previous CM dissapeared so we elected another guy"

#

Kind of like Carlgar / Gulliman relationship

rose sluice
#

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

sour hill
#

Use 30K helmets.

#

And just don't use the candles if possible.

#

Or trim/clip them off.

quaint halo
#

I got a bunch of 30k helmets if you want them

#

Mk3s

rose sluice
#

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

sour hill
#

That works too.

rose sluice
#

but helbrecht has alot more presence

sour hill
#

Paladins are great for knight helms.

#

Helbrecht is an extremely static pose. Also stabbing an orc.

#

So keep that in mind.

rose sluice
#

yeah

#

but also

#

it can be done

sour hill
#

Very nice!

#

Good luck. LOL

rose sluice
#

i know

#

lol

edgy cipher
#

The fact that a lot of sprues are monopose now also doesn't help

sour hill
#

Yeah. πŸ˜” 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.

edgy cipher
#

More creative or also to buy more stuff

rose sluice
#

yeah

#

for me it's finding a good base point that has most of what i'm after

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.

compact umbra
#

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

compact umbra
hoary ermine
#

''cardboard mockup''

#

and he goes

#

ACKTHUALLY

compact umbra
#

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???

hoary ermine
#

Cause they dont read them lmao

compact umbra
#

they read them more then steam reads teh TF2 surveys

#

hoary ermine
#

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

theyll say people want more clear rules etc

hoary ermine
sour hill
#

I hate that some of this community is such a shitsmear and doesn't support people's creativity.

hoary ermine
#

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

sour hill
#

That plasma cannon looks solid for cardboard though.

hoary ermine
#

so i responded with; Oh im sorry im not up to your standards, luckily this is my model πŸ’‹

#

basically

#

the way you lock vibrant pigments onto a model for say, plasma

compact umbra
#

im not gonan say i like it but im gonna say its better than spending a few hundred dollars on it

green cave
hoary ermine
#

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

sour hill
#

Good thing it's your model. πŸ™

hoary ermine
#

but some chud was like THJATCHS NJHOT THBE GHOOD WHEY

green cave
sour hill
#

Literally I don't even own a sprayer. So LMFAO

hoary ermine
#

no

#

read up

hoary ermine
sour hill
#

My plasma effect has to be completely hand painted and will never be as clean as a spray.

hoary ermine
#

anyway the guy got mad i didnt apply it with that

green cave
hoary ermine
#

reread the text below

sour hill
hoary ermine
#

aye

#

i just learnt that being flamboyant while rejecting their comments makes them really pissy

green cave
#

Oh, pigments

hoary ermine
#

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

#

🧐

sour hill
#

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.

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.

Yepppp.

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 πŸ‘Œ

Finally finishing up my Orks.

Gotta paint the eyes and then it's shading.

#

Tons and tons of shading.

rose sluice
#

My biggest fear is eyes

#

What’s the strat?

#

Cause i have 3 more fimir to do at some point

sour hill
#

I have a superfine detail brush from AP.

lapis tundra
#

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

sour hill
#

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.

lapis tundra
sour hill
#

And yeah...what if i told you that's part of the reason why I prime white? πŸ‘οΈ

#

I don't have to white the eyes.

#

Just drop a pupil in.

lapis tundra
#

Like the eye itself isnt that hard, painting the pupil without making it too large is terrible

sour hill
#

Yes.

#

I'll send a pic of the brush I use for eyes.

Super blown out pic

#

Holy fuck atlas is that a fimir?

sour hill

Shiny boy. 😳

rose sluice
#

That was me holding it with both hands and having someone else dot it

sour hill
#

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 i’ve ever been, and i really like how my blightkings came out

I love this guy a lot.

The fur on the handle looks solid.

Got two more of them and a noble to do

And I personally love the "dirty" skin look.

rose sluice
#

sour hill
#

Pop shading like that looks nice and grim.

rose sluice
#

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 don’t like how wet he looks in photos

#

Naked eye it’s really good

lapis tundra

Neat vid, i timestamped where he starts painting the eyes

Idk if i’d bother doing eyes on a smaller mini tbf

The shading is really finishing them up.

That shading is really good! How long does each boy take you?

sour hill

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.

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.
