I've been a long time lurker on here (since 2007 I believe) and finally grew some stones and signed up properly. I'm using this thread to document my return to 40k after not touching anything for 17 years. What will follow is my slow progress on my own Astartes chapter; the Ardent Swords. First up will be the chapter master and honour. The chapter master is still waiting for some bits to arrive so he'll probably be postponed to January at this rate. Hope you all enjoy watching my journey back into the grim darkness. First up; the honour guard. These chaps are built on the reiver base with extra bits stuck on. First time doing hand transplants with these guys and was more fiddly than expected. -
I read that the old Flesh Tearers had an inverted scheme for their Death Company, with the shoulders and helmet being red, while the rest of the body was black. My chapter, the Blood Suns, uses Flesh Tearer similar patterns, but they are normally Black shoulders, head, backpack, and leg greaves, like such. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8082/8399725341_a452956475_b.jpg The idea is the chapter uses the iconography of a sun/star. They see the Imperium without the Emperor and Sanguinus as being like a red giant star, that has expanded in size and gobbled up it's system, but is at the end of it's life and will soon lose it's heat and collapse on itself, therefore they are named the Blood Suns. Therefore, they see a Marine's life being like a sun that has gone supernova, or turned into a black hole - the Black Rage is a marine's desire to see the end of everything, and destroy it all. So to make it a look like a supernova and a black hole, I'm going for an inverted white and black scheme, but I want some feedback on how this looks, and if it would be striking compared to the above. I'll post some model pictures in the morning when people are awake and I can set some out. But what is everyone's thoughts on this? http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8229/8400814308_0bd0479300_b.jpg White color for the supernova imagery, and the black center for a Black supernova. The Red trim and Red chest eagle sort of keeping the basic Blood Sun third color, seen in the original. I love the alternative scheme for Death Company done in the book with the Angels Encarmine having white Sanguinary Guard as well, but I wondered if people think this would work on an actual model. Last consideration: I have a lot of those 3rd edition death company bodies that I'll be using for them models, and I have (with considerable effort) magnetized the backpacks to make sure they're flexible, so this is why I want to make sure I get the colors right. But if not, they'll strip easily being pewter/lead!

Hello Wolf-Boys (and -Girls if there are any )! After just commenting and lurking around for maybe about a year (maybe?) I decided to open a thread for my Wolves. As my ressources are pretty limited right now don't expect a huge army anytime soon. I guess I will just play Kill Team in the beginning anyway. It's basically a bunch of older models from my teenage years (10+ years ago) which never got to be a proper army. Back then choosing Space Wolves was a no-brainer because they looked like 80s James Hetfield, they we're rebellious good guys, and I liked wolves. Nowadays my affinity to Thrash Metal has mostIy faded, but I still l like my Space Wolves, although I was a bit shocked to see how cartoony some of the newer models looked (Looking at you, Santa Logan and Canis Wolfborn). I recently bought some newer models here and there though, plus some bits from various sources. At some point I will also buy some Primaris I think, but will make them look quite retro marine like (classic helmets and power packs). As my older models have been upscaled - or are in the process of - via the "Veteran Seargent"-method (spacers in legs and torso), the difference in size shouldn't be that big actually (Primaris are still bulkier of course). I just started painting again and I'm trying to figure out how to paint my version of Space Wolves armour (no baby blue and no yellow pauldrons, I think). The idea for the army is that they're a special contingent on some kind of investigative mission in a lesser known system. Maybe I'll have members of different great companies in it, I'll have to think about it . There won't be snow bases, they should look more like the sorroundings of a devastated Ad-Mech research station or something. I'll show you my humble progress here and would be grateful for painting and modelling tips. First of here are some general pictures plus my experiments with finding the right shade of pale , which I tried on the most expendable models I own, old Blood Bowl humans . Space Wolves in progress https://imgur.com/gallery/MRNzdqi https://imgur.com/gallery/SKRybrn https://imgur.com/gallery/v7elAjd Blurry pic from the workbench for giggles https://imgur.com/gallery/yY2q8Ct Edit: unfortunately I'm still getting errors when I'm trying to post pictures with (]...

I go to the Texas Open this upcoming weekend, January 16-18, to play in the Warhammer 40,000 Narrative event. 4 games over 2x days. A buddy of mine is taking 120 kroot (and painted it in less than 2 months) and another is taking Orks. It's about 40 minutes away, so we'll be carpooling. My family (wife and kids) are leaving me home alone for 2.5 weeks as they go to visit some family overseas while I hold down the pets, chickens, and work-fort, so I will try to post some updates. I need to finish painting 5 assault terminators, touch up a librarian in terminator armor, and paint some cupola/pintle Multi-melta and stormbolter for the Land Raider I plan to deep strike this upcoming weekend. Here's a progress shot of 3 terminators as I work to finish them this week. More posts on the list, games, and such to follow. Encouragement requested! Picture of 3 Assault Terminators As I went 4+ years without updating the original topic, it has been archived. Link to that for easy reference for me. I typed all that lore about my chapter during Law School, and now that i have money to spend on the hobby as a result of then, I don't want to lose it! lol

Since we seems to lake a thread about discussing how to make our traitor members of Loyalist Legions or loyalists members of Traitor Legions. There are lots of other threads where the discussion have appeared but more as a derailing or side discussions. So here we have a thread for explicit talking about how to make you Traitor Ultramarines stand out from their Loyalist brothers, or your Loyalist Night Lords form their traitors and cowards kin on the other side. And how to explain their existance. With that said, here are links to some of the threads where this discussion have happened before: Will poste some of the thoughts and suggestions from those threads here later.- 23 replies

Last week, like many of the people here, I embarked on the Call to Arms forum event, (perhaps foolishly) vowing to paint the Tyranid half of the Leviathan box. This is 47 miniatures in 3 months...easy right? Let's see how I got on... The painting started on Saturday night as I drybrushed all the models with White Scar, this didn't take too long and I was set up to move to stage 2 of my process, the green flesh. I use Ork Flesh Contrast paint here: This was the first batch painted, and as the week progressed, more and more were done. So stage 2 is done...and I think I'm going to be focusing on squad level from here on out...as seen with these two: I used Leviathan purple contrast for the bone/armour and aethermatic blue for their brains, which worked out well. End of this week, I'm hoping to have these two ready for basing with the Neurotyrant on his way at the very least. Let's see if I make it that far! Till then, Keep on hobbying!

Edit ++ Novemebr 2024 Link to newest chapter. Right now I'm in the process of getting things going again. But maybe not playing First Legion. New Post on page 4 near the bottom. Pre ETL Hello! I painted a test model for the Dark Angels last week. This is what I've come up with. He was a gift from WLK last year that I have only just gotten around too. For a while I wasn't sure I'd ever paint this one. I ordered one BaC set, 3 tac squads and 1 Terminator Squad all from BaC as well as 9 Jet Bikes and some extra weapons to kitt out a few models. The BaC tac marines and set have arrives already, the rest will begin to arrive over the next weeks and into May. So far I've done the test model and textured all the bases for the models that have arrived. (68 bases in all not counting the test model above. It's a little difficult to get excited about so much black but I do think it looks reasonable. I'll be looking for little spots to add some extra colors and details. In total it will only be these 82 models in the first vow. I will put them all into the same group to save me time later. If I have the time and the funds I'd like to complete a second vow but we'll see. I'm also going to do a ETL supper post on my blog filled with most everything I post in this thread as well. I've already started that and plan to publish it at the end of ETL. Thanks for reading. More to come. -

In a time of turmoil and unending war brought to our doorstep by the despicable Xenos we muster our forces for the coming battles.... Welcome to the Deathwatch 2016 thread that let's us gather, and inspire each other towards completion of our Vows in the coming weeks. Feel free to post your WIP's, questions, comments on your or your fellow Frater's vows. It is here that you can discuss the entries, or encourage your fellow Deathwatch Vow participants. This thread is not going to be pinned and will fall off when the challenge ends. The goal is to keep the original Vow thread cleaner, and to keep its content focused on initial Vows and Completions. Also feel free to link your own BnC painting blogs, or hobby threads here so we can see your progress. If you are uncertain of what this is all about, then I suggest 1) you are a filthy Xenos and have stumbled upon an area of the forum that means certain death for your kind, or 2) you need to sign up and check it out here: 2016 Deathwatch Painting Challenge ! ! ! -
Greetings! I am planning out a paint scheme for a far-future project, I have chose a Artic Ice paint scheme for my Icey armour Orruk Warclan but I'm struggling to find paints for it. The colours I chose are... Celestial Blue/Hex: #4F9CC8/RGB: (79, 156, 200)/CMYK: 0.605, 0.22, 0, 0.215 Iceberg/Hex: #78ADCE/RGB: (120, 173, 206)/CMYK: 0.417, 0.160, 0, 0.192 Pale Cerulean/Hex: #9DBED4/RGB: (157, 190, 212)/CMYK: 0.259, 0.103, 0, 0.168 Anti-Flash White/Hex: #ECEFF8/RGB: (236, 239, 248)/CMYK: 0.048, 0.036, 0, 0.027 Light Silver/Hex: #D1D8E2/RGB: (209, 216, 226)/CMYK: 0.075, 0.044, 0, 0.113 Light Steel Blue/Hex: #B9C8D7/RGB: (185, 200, 215)/CMYK: 0.139, 0.069, 0, 0.156 I believe I am able to make light silver by mixing in other colours but I'm not sure about the rest, I would love some assistance. Thank you in advance.

Cleansing of Ioria Campaign - Phase 3 Sieges and Decisive Battles The final scene in the Crusade to cleanse Ioria commences! Regiments and Inquisitional parties participating in this phase are to proclaim their attendance by providing the Administratum the required details on their forces and its representative as well as listing the unit and associated value. Vows may be performed in the tradition of your regiment or Inquisitor, or follow the registered standard: I, , hereby pledge the forces of [REGIMENT/WARBAND/ORDO] under [COMMANDER/INQUISITOR] to the capture of Ioria in the name of the Emperor. The contribution of [uNIT] at [POINTS] will do their duty no matter the cost. The phase begins immediately, and vows may be made at any time during the phase's run. Phase 3 will end at 2200 GMT/B&C time on Sunday the 2nd of April, make sure your vow is done by then! Participating regiments and Ordos that have already given their background pieces don't need to do so again as this will have been recorded from phase 1. As a reminder the bonus FOC choices for phase 3 are: HQ, Heavy Support and Lords of War. As before a single FOC unit is eligible even down to the components, whether that is an entire Scion Platoon, a single Taurox, a Platoon Command Squad or an Infantry Squad and their dedicated transport Chimera for example.

It has recently occurred to me that a lot of people have cool hobby blogs to keep track of their regiment, it's about time I did the same! Odd topics for vows and challenges is fine but I need a proper home for general models I'm working on. Given I started repainting my Guard a few years ago (almost finished...) it is fitting that I start with not only a repaint but one of the oldest of models. Check out this Russ, found lingering in my parent's storage and in need of some serious love and attention. Fortunately the commissariat is well known for having an abundance of love to share This model must be over 20 years old, so it is surely deserving of some special treatment! It's also the a perfect example of how everyone starts out rubbish Yes that is Goblin Green and Blood Red, I only had so many paints back then (and Chainmail instead of Boltgun Metal!) In between working on my Regiments vow I've been sorting the model out ready for stripping. Broken bits like the HK have been removed (wish my glue is that strong now...), barrels and exhaust drilled out along with cleaning join lines. Such a relic of the regiment demands the best so I'm going to give this model my all and try and push myself to greater heights of painting. I'll see if I can give it a fitting backstory and name too but any and all suggestions are most welcome

Good Day B&C! So, I have come back to my roots so to speak. Some of the older members may remember me from years back when I had an Angels Sanguine army. They were my first real army and when I got dark imperium I couldn't decide what to paint the primaris as... Angels Sanguine won! To that end I then went on ebay as I am an idiot and lo and behold picked up a load of stuff! None of this is my painting but I plan to re base a lot. Then change bits to suit my style. So few highlights. Different shades etc and then get to work on the primaris. http://i.imgur.com/PGIniRA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Sp17aH4.jpg http://i.imgur.com/cUSGM2w.jpg I will prob have a go at a scout to ease my way back in as I currently have Iron Warriors for 30k and Deathguard and Tau for 40k on the go! So lot's to be doing. Plus I am buying a house! So I will update when I can. On the gaming side I haven't played since 4th I think. But it looks like BA are taking a kicking in 8th... Thoughts? Cheers!

edit: now a proper project blog! edit 2: update to better reflect project scope (ever increasing it seems...) edit 3: now we're including Thousand Sons, guess the brackets were prophetic? edit 4: now the Thousand Sons can fulfil a detachment they get their own topic in the Thousand Sons section edit 5: Daemonettes have their own home too, also updated warband scheme at bottom of post After getting a taste for Kill Team my gaming circle got into some talk about collecting small kill teams from new armies as a fresh modelling opportunity. Whether or not this comes to fruition is another matter, but I thought this would be the chance to tick a few boxes of mine; namely to get my Slaanesh on and experiment and push my modelling and painting abilities. So here I am to scope it out before anything gets started! I'm familiar with Marines, but having not encountered Chaos for a while I'm a bit out of touch with the finer details of what's going on aside from the obvious. How does Slaanesh fair these days? What about daemon units? I'm not too fussed about the other gods at the moment, if I did end up using their stuff I might counts-as them as something Slaaneshi as a good excuse to hone my converting skills. This is all sort of unplanned so you'll have to forgive the rambling nature (or more rambling than normal?). I quite like the idea of whites, pinks/purples and maybe some black and gold but I gather this is fairly typical of Slaaneshi stuff? I'm not set on anything yet other than liking something bright, maybe with something in the pinky-purpley range - all my armies have green on so far, could that be good somewhere? As I said I really want to get outside of my comfort zone but I also want to do something I'd like. I crafted a quick CSM painter colour scheme up, behold it's probably generic glory: Well, everyone starts somewhere right? Painting a halved scheme would be something new too, I'm discounting quartered because I'm slow enough painting as it is While I'm sure that the army has a good chance of growing into a full one given time (isn't it always the way?) I'm only focusing on a Kill Team right now so I'd prefer to start with suggestions based on that first I've not given any thought to backgrounds, names etc yet either but I'll put some time to this if it ends up having legs. Thanks in advance Edit 5 new scheme image with more accurate colours and bits:

I've recently got back into 40k and dusted off the old BA to start painting again. I wanted to use Evil Sunz as my base colour for a really bright red that would stand out well but it just takes so long to basecoat. I've tried priming stuff with Mephiston Red spray but that needed like 4 thin layers of evil sunz before it looked half decent and I also tried army painter pure red primer but the finish on it came out really rough and obscured detail every time I tried in different conditions (ruining my shiny new Hellblaster in the process). At this point I'm wondering if it wouldn't just be worth giving up and using Mephiston as the base colour for the army over Evil Sunz. Any advice on what I should do in this situation?

Greetings, fellow programs. I've felt motivated to get my Necrons into a full army ready position, having left them to languish in a grey for far too long... thought some were under coated I swear! I'm going to add to this topic but I would be delighted to see what else other people are working on as well. Anyone else motivated by 10th? I'm no good at taking pics, with technology not being my strong suit (ironic huh) but here is what I've completed this week: I need better lighting and will see what I can do I painted their "carapace" parts a dark green, using Nuln Oil gloss over it to deepen things even darker. Edge highlights of lighter greens to ensure depth and make them prettier. Initially used the same lighter green on the contours of the skull shape for the head, but found the latter models looked better with an in-between shade of green (warpstone glow) on the face to make it pop without looking... awful. The early Warriors can stay like that, as they don't look awful. Some of the first Warriors were painted months ago but I finished them and their compatriots a day ago. ***** Next up... I might treat myself to a Skorpekh Lord or maybe the Nightbringer.

Afternoon B&C! So, I just discovered this little section of the forum... I have been a member here forever but rarely visited for a long time. I have created a WIP log in PCA but thought this may be a good place for more detailed Raven Guard questions! I have gotten back into the hobby recently after a drunken eBay spend Mainly as a way to chill out. Getting beat by 12 year olds at FIFA isn't that relaxing after work so painting may be. Not really a gamer, have in the past but no one to go play with now so just collecting. But still want to collect in an army list manner. Enough rambling. Here are some of the current RG. Pics are still awful as still on phone and haven't really got anywhere easy or good to take them but you should get the idea. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll260/ukcjr001/IMG_2349_zpsxhmwfhhv.jpg Current state of the 10 marines I picked up to paint first. Not even a proper squad but starting somewhere. Can we all have at lieast some paint on now. Also started doing the bases on first 3 and tidying up a little. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll260/ukcjr001/IMG_2352_zpstahcewh4.jpg Then the 3 different things I am trying on armour. First one has been drybrushed Eshin grey then inked with Nuln oil. Second has been drybrushed with Eshin then again with Dawnstone and nothing else. Third is Eshin drybrush then a neaten using Abbadon. I will then add an edge of dawnstone. I actually like each of them. I might try a really light glaze of nuln on the middle and hopefully that will be a quick black. I also got 5 terminators out the dettol and cleaned then sprayed today. Will do them after these guys and do them the same time as a contemptor. Cheers -
So with 8th edition just around the corner, I've decided to get rid of my Blood Angels and start a Crimson Fist force (love sternguard and centurions so why not ). What Im unsure of is colour / paint scheme and I'm looking for advice. I want to try and keep my army as close to codex:astartes as possible with regards to companies, squads, markings etc. The majority of my force will be 3rd and 1st company and as i build out will add squads from other companies. I'm not keen on painting the shoulder pad rims of the different companies different colours, but am thinking of doing them red across the lot (most will be 3rd company anyway) and painting the veterans rims gold. I would then mark up each knee pad with the relevant company marking. Will the red rims take away from the crimson fist? Also i will be painting my sergeants heads red. While veterans will be white Then I'm unsure on what colour to paint chest aquilas. I've seen some really good results from using either gold, silver or white and a few painted red (think this will be too much though). Im thinking to go silver for normal marines and gold for veterans. What do you guys think? Is there a "Standard" that the majority of crimson fist players use? Thanks in advance. -
Guys, I desperately needed a change of pace. I have tried to steer away from all loyalist activities heading into the new year. I wanted marine infantry with staying power in this edition of mass destruction while sticking with Chaos so here we are. I have to start with some advice though. I haven’t played DG since the codex came out, and I’m starting with the new Plague Marine box and wanted some unorthodox build in a Landraider to launch the project. I love the look of some of the new cc models/ bits. ... but I don’t want t handicap myself too much. So that said, let’s pretend 2 of my squads will be traditional, champ Fist/ plasma and 2 Blightlaunchers. And this third squad will be for mixed or more specific for CC ability coming out of the Landraider. Could you share some wisdom on this? Flails look amazing to model, the giant axes are fun, but what works for you and what’s reasonable?

Hi All! I have not ventured into this forum much despite owning a few Inquisitors, I usually keep them more aligned with my IG collection and WIP as they generally don't have their own retinue. I had been holding out for a dedicated Custodes subforum and now with the release of the new FW Beta rules for ALL the units I've decided now is the time to start this thread. I do have a fairly reasonable collection so far, albeit mostly unpainted. I blame that on deciding to go with the Solar Watch colour scheme... The guys have sooo much detail... I do think it is worth it in the end. My hobby goals for this year are to finish some random guard projects I haven't completed and then focus on getting a painted and playable Custodes army. Some pic's of my collection so far My initial purchase I actually have Trajann at a semi decent TT quality, but apparently not uploaded any pics of him yet I've built most my bikes! Although I do have 1-2? boxes left to build since I did these... My first bike and scheme testing, Vallejo colours helped me achieve the ivory and gold I wanted The Terminators are possibly some of my most favourite models in 40k atm And this is essentially my only fully painted model in a year or so of collecting... My xmaspresent from last year Which is now doubly so thanks for FW's release today! He's already washed, ready to assemble and magnetise Over the long weekend last week I managed to build 10 Custodians to finish of my battalion requirement I already had assembled and magentised 1 box, these guys I didn't bother with Local store had a 40-50% clearance sale on GW the other week picked up some more models that I probably didn't need... Hopefully will order some of the new Venatari soon too Having finally kicked off this thread, I hope it spurs me more to finish this army sooner! And for those wondering

Help on picking colors...
Tarthor posted a topic in + HERETIC ASTARTES / TRAITOR LEGIONES ASTARTES +
It's almost Christmas, and I was thinking of celebrating the holidays by painting, modelling, and kit bashing a unit of Chaos Space Marines. I sat down and wrote out the backstory of an OCdonotstealplz Warband, a splinter of the Black Legion, but I got writers block in the one place it actually mattered: the colors. How do I stay original but also look good, and also fit into the canon? The warband worships Chaos undivided, arguably the hardest to do when deciding, and I'm kinda lost on what to do. -
As the title says! Are you in the process of, or planning to get any new units ready for your Sons of Magnus for 10th edition? Getting them ready to use from the start, or waiting to see what th datacards look like? My 2023 goals include Magnus the Red, so I'm hoping the datacards do him justice, I'll be breaking that box open soon! -
Greeting B and C! This feels a bit odd... Plonking Xenos down but here we go! I have been working on some Tau. For no real reason other than a change to my usual power armour obsession (iron warriors, angels sanguine, plague marines etc). These were really just a painting army. But I went eBay ad and have quite a lot. I will likely sell a lot though to make some space as a hour move is on the horizon but here is the current state of play. http://i.imgur.com/uXzQank.jpg Terrible, over bright pic. Can't see any highlights but it gives you a good idea at least. First suit and fire warriors complete. http://i.imgur.com/dyMlsiU.jpg?1 Second complete suit. Better pic. Ish! But you can see some highlights at least :) Now the WIP. http://i.imgur.com/ohq6rLO.jpg 5 fire warriors to round out the squad. These are painted differently to first batch and I think I prefer them. Just details really and markings then a dull cote and done. http://i.imgur.com/0bLWOG4.jpg Finally a very early ethereal shot. Lot's to do and better pics to be taken. So the theme is crap pictures and lots of white :) After these I might do 3 stealth drones then a couple more crisis suits and some pathfinders. I also have a devilfish. Another 3 stealth as well. Cheers!

I just picked up Baal Red "contrast" paint this weekend and I have to say, after a few decades of trying to get Blood Angels to look RED and not: Red but dark and muddy Red but highlighted obnoxiously Red but actually orange Red but just not the right red Baal Red is really really good, and I finally have a few Blood Angels where I think, hey, these are actually red. I'll post a few up soon. Definitely worth getting a bottle and experimenting. I'll also post on how I used it.

OK! So, inspired by seeing Prot get work up on here really fast the other day, I thought id share my WIP so far on my admech. These guys have been worked on over the last year and are about 2/3rds complete...quite a bit of tidying up to do and slight details to improve on (and bases...always bases!!) but im getting to a point where im generally happy with the overall look/feel Bit of a background to this, ive played/painted space wolves for years, but last year ran into a bit of a wall with what i wanted to do with my wolves, and was fed up painting power armour, so i picked up an admech get started box, and have slowly been growing my collection since. Loved the Metalica colour scheme (despite not liking the name...goes back with me having issues with the band..and always hating their name too haha)...so these are gonna eventually be a DIY forgeworld that just happen to look very similar to Metalica. Photo quality aint great (espeically on the closeups) but thats what i get for using my old phone in the middle of the night last night. Skitarii Vanguard TechPriest & Kastelans Destroyers Onagers And finally - some vangaurd alongside my new SW scheme I've just started on after the admech break gave me just what i needed to get back to my wolves. Gonna be writing some full fluff to justify why these mkIII wolves are kicking about with an admech contingent (post prospero warp storms may feature quite heavily), but idea was to keep the heresy era grey, but have the weapons be more themed to my admech, as theyve been working on their weapons for a few millenia
