My pot of Armageddon dust is running low and I have heard that vallejo texture pastes are much better value for money. Does anyone know which one is most similar in texture and colour to Armageddon dust (which is very similar to zandri dust btw), or have a conversion chart between the two brands that includes texture pastes? Thanks.

The great bell tolls for my Ceramite White pot, and unfortunately someone forgot what white means when they made the replacement Corax White I use it quite a bit across armies to get a white going over any colour and it save me a lot of time, and I get decent results with it - such that I didn't replace my layer white when that died ages ago... Trying to find another range that has a base/foundation white hasn't got very far as all I get back are primers and the like which isn't quite what I'm looking for, or I'm not sure if it is. Does anyone know of a white that can achieve the same coverage?

I started this build log in the Ravenguard section but figured it would be more appropriate to post here. I've dabbled in 40k since the start of 5th edition when I got my very first set, Assault on Blackreach. I was pretty young back then and over the next couple of years I built a modest space marine army and a small Sisters of Battle army (all that metal back then...) After a few years I sold all those models as they were poorly built and painted by me. Since then I started building a new army around 7th edition and now have a sizeable marine army again. Although I never played 8th I did get some Primaris models around the time Dark Imperium released. Then I got rather disillusioned with the hobby as medical issues meant that I have trouble with my hands and painting is very hard for me. SO I ended up putting my army in storage unpainted. With 9th here I've got excited again and have decided to push on and try my best anyway as the boys in green deserve to be fielded in full colour. So I haven't painted many yet but I will share what I have done so far. My Raptors I've decided to go for a pretty dirty look, like they've been fighting in a jungle for a while. Please let me know what you think. Here is my conversion WIP for Lias Issodon: The bolter is a conversion I made by chopping the upper receiver off a normal gun and attaching a new one from a sniper (an Anvil industries part i think) WIP scout snipers: I did a smilar thing with some of their guns and gave them gas masks to give off a special forces vibe. WIP tactical marines: I wanted to try and get as many scoped bolters as I could in their hands. Almost complete Las/Plas razorback: This conversion uses plasma cannons (I know the rules are plasma rifle) because i think it fits a vehicle better. Lastly a quick test for plasma as I want to paint some hellblasters after I finish these units. UPDATE 1 So for my first update I feel that I have been quite productive (despite hand pain). I've managed to paint a full unit for the first time in years, I'm quite pleased with them. Moving forward I'm torn between: Another tactical squad Or some Hellblasters I think I'm leaning towards doing the hellblasters as painting another 10 tactical marines might feel monotonous. Onto a modelling project. I'm just playing with a Librarian from the Dark Vengeance box. Does anyone have advice on the best way to remove all that DA iconography?

With our codex soon coming out I purchased the Vortex Beast. However, I dislike GW's chosen paintscheme and I don't want to paint it Thousand Sons Blue like the rest of my army. Maybe you have some advice or inspiration to share? How would you paint this beast?

Hey folks, Does anyone know where I can get a Vertical Paint Pot holder for GW paints in the UK (something a bit like a spice rack)? All the ones I can find are multi-tiered (like 3 or more deep - not high), I want just a single row of pots and then another row of the same above, etc. Thanks

In the same vein as my Molotow Liquid Chrome experiments, I will be doing the same for this product and will post the results here. My subjects will be Dark Eldar Kabalites. http://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/chameleon-acrylic-paints/667-colorshift-chameleon-acrylic-paint-set-1.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sNGIrPmo2U
