Thanks, user, I kind of feel like an idiot being spoon fed that review since it's the first review to come up on Google but it's definitely helpful. The idea of the parts kits can be helpful, although it might be better to hold out and abide by the buy once, cry once idea instead.
Logan Gomez
Finished my first firewarrior, any tips or advice for the next 9?
Thomas Lee
>Tau >looks unpainted Pottery
That being said, any felliw german/austrianfags here? What do you use for stripping paint? I want to redo my Necrons, but just painting over the previous layers, thin as they may be, seems wrong. Also, how's a metallic blue for Necrons, kinda like pic related? I can use other colours to mix up too, but blue is the one I currently have at home.
Charles Stewart
Oh yea I probably should have clarified finished building.
Gabriel Bailey
Progress on the hydration boyz has begun
How much blood should i coat the finished squad in?
real or paint, khorne cares not from where it spills
Tyler Ross
I finally have the pieces I made for some Dawn of War-esque terrain. Here's the Plasma Generator pieces. I'm surprised, they came out really well. All that needs to be done here is cut the acrylic rod and everything will fit together flawlessly. I don't even need to sand anything down really. The bottom two are translucent because they are internal supports for the "floating" side panels.
Carter Morales
Sorry user, the 40kg just has me conditioned like Pavlov and hus dogs. I see unpainted Tau, I must shitpost. Do you already have a paint scheme planned?
Gavin Cooper
And here's the pieces for the Path to Enlightenment. I made everything but the round piece in back and the tubes, which are actually legos. There's a fire warrior in there for scale. These I have a big piece of 5mm plywood for that I need to cut a base out of. Looks like it takes up a 7"x7" area.
I really look forward to painting it >no in my blue and purple palette >no and then posting it for everyone >no
Parker Reyes
WIP Ulthwe Guardians.
Still have 15 of these guys to go T___T
Jaxon Mitchell
No way on earth I'm paying £25 for a regular Primaris Captain, so I went all Frankenstein.
Caleb Adams
>any felliw german/austrianfags here? What do you use for stripping paint? Acetone for metal and Mellerud PVC cleaner from Obi for plastics. The Mellerud stuff is okay, but not great.
Evan Thomas
Tan fatigues, Green armor, Orange distinguishing markings, Yellow plasma, Blue sights and lights.
Caleb Bailey
His left arm is not high enough on his torso, if you look head on you see where the shoulder is supposed to be and it's lower than where it should be on the torso.
Mason Gray
Thanks user, gotta try it out. If I can get rid of most of the paint, I'm already happy with it. Any tips on how long I need to soak them, without losing details?
Jacob Walker
>get distracted 30 minutes >miss an Eldar centaur, $13 MY LUCK IS SHIT THIS WEEEEEEEK
Alexander Torres
Just picked one of these guys up today. I want to use him as a conversion for my death guard, but I'm not what he's going to end up being until I can look at an actual codex. I'm thinking Lord or preferably lieutenant equivalent if thhey exist.
Any general tips on how to make someone like this look more 40k besides just slapping a gun at his hip?
Grayson Nguyen
Well, just make sure to distinguish the green and orange/yellow/tan bits, or they will be overwhelmed by the green
Brandon Cooper
You might want a powerpack and some tubes on him. A gun, obviously, and maybe a rusty chainweapon?
Matthew Long
Up-armor him, fancy up his axe (Either make it look like a power weapon or add some mechanical bitz, give him a spess muhreen backpack of some sort. put him in a naut
Carson Cruz
Hey /wip/ I just ordered my first 10 man kill team! I'm open for suggestions on what chapters should be included in it but my only stipulation is that if it happens I'd onlyblike 1 pair of marines from the same chapter.
Hudson Cruz
Currently working on the first strike box set to run demo games. Criticism appreciated (I know I have shitty lighting).
Xavier Bailey
Get a CSM backpack for him and put one of the pauldrons on his unarmored arm. You could also try to add some tubes, like maybe one connecting to his helmet.
Levi Harris
That'll be the test of whether or not I can make this scheme attractive on the table.
Hunter Cox
Black Templars
Alexander Jackson
An angry marine for shits and giggles, a lamenter because i want you to hate yourself trying to do the checker pattern and one of Veeky Forums's homebrew chapters. Maybe those aztec dudes or the guys with the big shields, they seem bretty cool.
Carter White
The mellerud stuff isn't gonna do anything to the plastic. At least not in my experience. I usually left my minis to soak for 24 hours before giving them a scrub and then repeating the process for the ones that were caked in primer or something like that.
It works, but you'll need to do a lot of scrubbing. As I said, it's not great.
Leo Morris
A dark green could reasonably work and contrast enough with the other colours, if they're a bit brighter.
Jonathan James
why not just use all the pads in the kit once
If first founding legions trigger you, I'm pretty sure you can still get 10 unique successor chapters out of two 5-man boxes.
Justin Flores
They are bright and im priming white too. The green is Death World Forest Base, Underhive Ash Drybrush, Athonian Camoshade Wash.
Jeremiah Ramirez
Never thought of using the BT's I'll include one, try to make him a vanguard or something I'm doing Lammys for my main marines I'm just looking for opinions, I'm fine with first founders
Mason Long
Carcharadon or Exorcist
Logan Price
I like both of those chapters, I'll put heavy thought into it
Lucas Lee
Red scorpions pls
Dylan Torres
Don't know much about them, I'll educate myself and decide from there
Chase Thomas
make the kill team up completely out of badab war chapters
Sebastian Cox
You can do a lot of different chapters with the same pads, just different colors.
83 is either Imperial Fists and Crimson Fists 92 Is Black Consuls, White Consuls and the new Mentors badge too. 93 Is Nova Marines, and while the halo of the Sons of Medusa only has 8 points and not 12 it's a fairly minor detail or easy to convert in any case. 85 Space Wolves and I believe either Shadow or Iron Wolves. Red badge on dark grey shield. 88 Ravenwing and Hawk Lords. 94 Minotaurs, Brazen Minoturs, White Minotaurs and Tauran 97 I think aside from Black Templars there are also White Templars. Should look that up, would be surprised if the badge hadn't been recycled though. 98 Forgot the name, the red and blue quartered guys and the orange chaper (Knights of Gryphonne?) use this.
That's already almost 20 different chapters without even using all the pads.
Benjamin Wright
Thank you brother
Jayden Lee
Less is more. Make all their splatters unique, make them tell stories.
Anthony Stewart
I'll save this option for my second squad I wasn't really concerned with what was in the box just wanted to hear fellow hobbyists opinions or favoured chapters
Camden Martinez
You're welcome Brother
Benjamin Diaz
Hmmm... you have a good point.
No promises on that whole "less" part, but I will definitely try to tell a story with the splatter and not just coat them in it all over.
Concise gore
Kayden Williams
Finished up this guy today. It's my chaos counts as eversor assassin. Not my best paint job, but I'm happy with it atm. Open to any fluff or name suggestions. Or pointers on painting with cream white.
Sebastian Powell
>Pottery
Hath not the potter power over the clay? To make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
Brody Morgan
What?
Matthew Davis
Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, what makest thou?
Ryan Turner
You hold my shit
Samuel Reyes
Oh. My god.
Carter Hernandez
A new Johnny for a new age of mankind
What's the "signature" Johnny color scheme? Or one of the more well known colors I guess. The color scheme that immediately comes to mind
Adam Kelly
Looks lovely user.
Jason Evans
EXCELLENT
Jonathan Mitchell
No love for dragon chad in the previous thread
He's just a test model so a little rough, but I'm happy with the colours. How should I go with highlighting the bronze parts?
Lincoln Roberts
Throw them in the trash
Luis Mitchell
How are you running them? They do not have the Chaos Keyword (I literally did the same thing and my group refuses to let me run them because they don't share keywords)
Jaxon Rogers
Ebay sniping is WIP-related, I can't work on the miniature if I don't win it.
Juan Williams
sycorax bronze if you have it, necron compound will also do the trick
Gavin Davis
the guy who posts it the most is the blood angel one, you should paint it up as a BA successor in honor of that
Hunter Brown
Posting my D
Austin Smith
mouldline on right arm
Carson Butler
I think that might be a stuck hair, it's a weird moldline otherwise.
Matthew Gutierrez
Thanks
Should I bother adding shoulder studs on the left shoulder or no?
Alexander Young
FUCKING MAGNIFICENT. Gonna need a how-to for that one, user. I require a Johnny of my own.
James Long
Do I need to prime the primarus blue plastic marines?
Dominic Taylor
My recently completed D
Dominic Carter
only if you arent playing ultramarines
Aiden Carter
Bonus falcons ov death
Andrew Martinez
Yes, it's still just bare plastic, I assume.
Jason Ward
Best I could do. I'd take a picture of the backside I had to fill in but my phone just died
Jeremiah Morales
Love your work, user. New Johnny shall take pride of place on my shelf when he's done. Eventually.
Hunter Roberts
1st tell those guys to eat a dick. Then tell them how can run an auxillary squad that's an elite choice, though at -1 CP (bummer, but worth it to me because FUN), that can be from whatever faction you want because it's a seperate detachment. It's still battleforged because you have your main detachment, probably a battalion, and then the elite choice is a different detachment.
Or, you can run the vangaurd detachment, like I am going to when I finish my counts as vindicare, callidus and cypher models, alongside another detachment.
Ayden Barnes
Thanks user. It's my first time using green stuff
Now that I've got a paint scheme to go for I can paint him up tomorrow
Connor Miller
Bollocks. I want a PrimaJohnny but I want that Auspex because I've convinced myself that it will do something when the codex comes out
Xavier Watson
>dat lighting >Dat scheme.
I applaud your effort.
Camden Moore
I am sorry :(
Xavier Cook
Damn, I scoured the book for that rule just in case and couldn't find anything. Well shit, I'll just do it anyway!
Makes my chaos orks suddenly irrelevant too.
Caleb Taylor
How'd you do that green?
Grayson Murphy
Stick some more armour on his other arm. Give him a backback.
Maybe glue some plasticard or something in the neck area to look like the gorget of his armour poking out from the flesh that grew around it.
Stick a plagued up version of a servoskull or a cyber cherub or something on his base with him.
Give his ax a power supply or a chain edge or something.
Hunter Cooper
Mentors, with the original owl emblem.
Lucas Watson
-1 to enemy cover save
Christian Lee
More nurgle glory!
Owen James
I've got pic related sat unassembled in a box for an AoS army that's not happening anymore. Any suggestions for what I could use it as in a 40k chaos army?
Cooper Campbell
on a serious note: mold lines
on a subjective note: try for more dynamic poses.
Positive note: good use of bits and the posing on the left arm.
Hunter Stewart
That's what I expect, but there's nothing concrete yet
Parker Nelson
I like it user, I'll definitely think about using it, maybe a wise old sargent or something
Cooper Young
no, you should either use it as a display piece or sell it.
James Powell
Thank you. They don't get enough love.
Logan Roberts
See And take it to heart.
Thomas Roberts
It's really unfortunate, but 40k doesn't have "lord on dragon" type characters. All our mounts are very small. Nurgle lords exist, mounted Chaos lords exist, but nothing that big. I think you might have to use it as a Greater Daemon or something.
Kevin Scott
Fuck that. Use it as a Greater Brass Scorpion of Khorne, but call it a Pustulant Toad of Nurgle.
Justin Rivera
Loving your ISM. I've got one on the way. After running one that was a proxy, I fell in love with the unit.
Leo Wright
Just finished washing. Still need to highlight and base. Suggestions on what to highlight and where?
How do I do lenses?
pls no bully
Camden Martinez
Welp, I'll be doing this
Jeremiah Cruz
This guy made it. I love it too, and I plan to recreate his paint scheme on an ISM and a Johnny.
