  1. Hey all. Some of you may recognise me making a nuisance of myself over in the Adeptus Mechanicus forum. I have a load of Tech Priests coloured green. Orks are my other green, walker heavy army. Since I've got quite a lot of pictures I am not going to flood the "Show me what you've got" page with pictures, I will post a project log of my work so far. My Ork force wasn't painted to as high a standard as my Mechanicus but hopefully people will find what I've made so far interesting. First up is my Warboss. He is painted in the same style as my rank and file, but he gets to embellish some of his wargear since he's in charge. The sandy yellow and blue stripes were inspired by the 2nd edition codex. The grey urban camo in spots is because I'm a glutton for paint-related punishment. I love this model. I'm just a little sad that the belt fed bullets are a bit to fragile for a gaming piece. Next up is my Deff Dread. This is possibly the first of many. I went for a bit of a dramatic scene on the base, it was good fun trying to get the pose how I liked it. I've got a Big Mek here. He was an experiement with GW metallic, I had quite a bit of fun trying out techniques that I have now completely forgotten how to replicate. When I started my Mechanicus army I kept a notebook to describe the ways I painted various effects. I might do that when I get round to my Orks again. A Warboss, because one Warboss isn't enough to start an entertaining squabble. I've got a 10-strong unit of Stormboys, here are the most interesting three. I have more boxes of Stormboys to bolster the unit, but making them match the first batch will prove tricky. Note here that the camo scheme is reversed on the Stormboys, blue with tan stripes.
  2. Hi, Can anyone suggest any easily available (UK) paints that resemble the old citadel armour wash? This one: It’s very thin but very dark and grippy, and colours more of the surface than say Nuln oil, which is more watery and runs into the recesses more, leaving a lot more of the original colour on the raised areas. The armour wash is also ever so slightly metallic, giving the black a nice sheen. I used it to paint my Raven Guard infiltrators but I only have the one 25-year-old pot and am worried I won’t have enough for future projects. To give you an idea of what I need, here’s some of my marines: See the colour of the guns? That’s what the whole model looked like before I armour washed it. That’s the effect I want to create. Any suggestions welcome!
  3. Hello fellow princeps! Having finally gotten an account in this vibrant community, I guess it's only appropriate to start by showing off some miniature goodness. I have a personal compulsion to convert everything to make it unique, even if only slightly, and a Titan Legio would be no exception. Legio Favilla, the Ashen Gods, are not a frontline battle Legio as such, originally developed for more sombre purposes of acting as final arbitrators of imperial justice for civilizations that resisted too vehemently. Theirs was an unenviable lot, from a sane point of view, to descend in flames to wipe whole worlds' inhabitants from existence until no shred of memory remained. "Imperator Domine, in cinere dona eis requiem" - Lord Emperor, grant peace for their ashes. They've often marched alongside the XIV legion Astartes, with whom they share a grim and humorless attitude towards advancing the great efforts of the Imperium. Currently I'm up at 2 Warlords, 3 Reavers, 4 Warhounds and 10 Knights of some varieties built with some more in boxes or being eyed on the shelves. AT hits just the right buttons, plastic crack train has no brakes Paintingwise, trying out NMM for the first time in any seriousness was a spur of the moment decision that came about as I was starting the first Warlord. Using metallic paints just didn't feel right on this scale, so I went with a more expressive and less realistic style to try and capture some of that sweet, heavy atmosphere of baroque paintings, stepping out of their frames and striding into the furious, mad symphony of war. I apologize for phone pictures, future updates should have an actual system camera behind them from now on. The grand smurf of the order, Iudex Ultionis - The Judge of Vengeance, first to fall from the heavens horns blaring. Here he is, guiding the little lambs to slaughter like a good shepherd. I'll eventually get around to take proper pics of them too. The second lord, Memento Mori - reminder for the opposition of their own mortal frailty. His base will have a despairing soldier staring up, gun fallen from slack fingers. Reavers underway: Aurora Terribilis - the Terrifying Dawn, last gasp of regret the enemy has before their doom and Damnatio Memoriae - fate of those destined to be swept off from the collective memory of the galaxy. First Reaver to get ready: Ruina Superborum - the Ruin of the Haughty, that which inevitably follows for the fools who dared to resist the bearers of the Aquila. What is a Legio without its loyal Hounds of war? Let them run and dance in the ashes. Edax Rerum - (like Time) Who Devours All. Echo Dolorum - the Echo of Sorrows. Occisor Spesi - Murderer of Hope. Cineres Immensi - the Vast Ashes. And some Cerastus waiting their turn. Acherons' flamers were converted from Warhound's Inferno Cannons, fits nicely I find. Cor aut mors, brethren!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. This is thread I am going to show what I am doing in the hobby, and what I have done. It will be all Chaos related, mostly Iron Warriors which is my main army, but also some Death guard, in an Iron warrior scheme, some depraved daemons, and the odd knight or two. More to come in the future. Cpt.Danjou
  7. 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!
  8. Hi all So I started a WIP thread on my Mordians in the Forge section because it was being swamped by those over zealous pompous astartes. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317558-mordian-painting-project/ Someone suggested I post here too. To avoid double posting I thought I would focus more on the tourament I will be entering with it with just the occasion shout out when I've updated the original thread. Quick background started with Mordians back in 3rd before taking a long (15yr) break. Had about 30 odd mordians and some praetorians. Since then I have picked up another 30-40 odd. I've stripped off my 3rd ed paints and the paint from the models I bought and will be updating their scheme to fit with 7th ed. The tournament is only 750pt single allied detachment FOC (no formations). So I am using it as an excuse to get all my mordians done even though I wont use them all. The tournament will be 3 games and scoring consists of primary marker objectives, secondary [bRB] malestrom and tertiary points based on kill point differential as well as the usual 3 suspects from the main rule book. The list I have in mind is Lord Commissar w/ m. bombs Primaris Psyker ML2 1 PCS w/ heavy flamer 3x Infantry squad w/ lascannons and GL (1x sgt w/ m. bombs, 2x dedicated taruox) Vendetta Wyvren That puts me at 750pts on the nose. The tournament is meant to be somewhat friendly. The TO has already stated they will turn down any cheesy/OP lists (scatterbike spam, 2++/2++, 2+ FNP deathstars etc). My goal with the list was to try and exploit IGs ability to spam somewhat useful troops at low points, whilst still having some mobility. I'm hoping for a 4+ on the IG/AM WL trait list to either gain orders or relentless. Also of note as allied detachment was designed not to be a primary detachment you do not receive the ideal mission commander rule. I'm also hoping will ML2 I have a better chance of picking up that 4++ on the divination table. 30 relentless guardsmen w/ lascannons and 4++ sounds like fun :-) Ill most likely be blobbing the guard unless I can see a reason not to do that for any particular game. The taurox with their built in dozer blades and obsec will be running around grabbing objectives until they meet their demise (quite promptly I imagine). The pcs will chill in the vendetta to grab end of game objectives and the vendetta line breaker. I'm sure the wyvren needs no explanation ;-) The tournament is end of January so I have a couple more weeks to get my models painted. Hopefully I'll be able to get a couple of practice games in too before then.
  9. I'm starting a small "inter-project" project to enforce a pause on all deadlines, armies, etc - sort of a hobby pit stop. It will feature one off models where I paint something different, try out new techniques and pay tribute to armies I like. First off are the Ultramarines, I grabbed some bits and short of final clean up and maybe an addition to the base he's ready for priming: I have a decent number of blues, and this will be my first time doing proper codex bits (my DIY chapter follows the codex aside from the visual parts, where they only use the white helmets for veterans). What company should I do? Anyone got recipes to share?
  10. In my ongoing series to paint up individual models - first being an Ultramarine, second is a White Scar and now a Dark Angel arrives! It is an exercise to take a break from my armies but also to paint up tribute models to armies of note. In this case it's extra special because in days long gone I originally wanted to collect Dark Angels. I did do a very small 30k DA force before that was a proper thing and have come dangerously close to starting Consecrators more than once. About time I got round to green Dark Angels then? I've kept him more basic on the DA bits, as the idea is to paint up ordinary battle line Marines rather than anything fancy like 1st Company etc. The plan is to paint him up properly so that includes Tactical markings and the like, so I'll need to decide on a company. Last but not least any suggestions or tips etc for painting him up are welcome
  11. For those unaware this is the second in my series of one off models, the first being an Ultramarine. I'm using this as a break from my main projects, try out different things and paint up a tribute to armies I like. So as you've probably figured out second up is a White Scar While sourcing bits I came across an old biker sprue (from 1997) and thought this was made to be, I've got him assembled ready for priming: I did think about changing the torso and altering an arm, but I figured that staying true to the old model would be nicer especially as a one off model who doesn't need to stand out from others. I may glue a bit more together like the torso and legs but the rest is staying apart for easier painting. I do have a reasonable amount of experience with white but I'll be testing out the Apothecary White contrast paint on a Grey Seer base (pot version) to see how it works. Fingers crossed it goes better than the Ultramarine did (had to repaint the blue...) What sort of things do I need to look at, such as company markings etc? If I'm going to do a White Scar he needs to be done properly As always any tips etc are welcome
  12. https://youtu.be/a_Qs6nTDACs I thought I'd share this with you. I think he did quite a good job there ☺
  13. Hello there! I was thinking about the relation of 'painting discipline' and long term motivation and would like to know about your thoughts and experiences: how useful is it to approach painting 'systematically', as for example in batch painting? Is there a certain ratio of effectiveness vs ... "things getting boring". The question is not so much about specific painting techniques, and more about the mental approach to painting. Do you like to establish a strict painting plan for effectiveness or do you paint more intuitively? Have you had experiences with both approaches and maybe found the method which works best for you? I personally seem to struggle with sticking to a plan a bit, and I also like to try out new stuff a lot. There are also certain details - for example metallics - which I like to work on more than others, especially when my motivation is rather low. So it seems like I have to give myself some instant gratification to get motivated. What are your thoughts on this :)?
  14. It is time to paint some titans! And these are first Warhounds of my Ignatum demi Legio mostly done except bases Reavers and Warlords will follow after :)
  15. For those unaware I'm on a small quest to paint up chapters I have particular connections to or like of so naturally this will include the sons of Sanguinius! Back in the Dark Age of Hobby (sometimes known as "2nd Edition") I started with Blood Angels, still have the box set Marines somewhere in red They have black trims but I after that I was taken with the Blood Angel scheme on a later Tactical squad box (98 release I think it was?). I should try and find a picture somewhere for reference. A deeper colour, all red - and a beakie on top. As we all know MkVI is one of the best armour marks I made sure to pay tribute to that with another here I'm looking to prime models soon so should be able to start getting some paint on him before long, so that means sorting a painting method. I'm not unfamiliar with painting red but I'd welcome any advice or suggestions, plus of course anything for markings and company etc
  16. As part of my ongoing series crusade to paint up various chapters of renown it's time I added a Black Templar I'm preparing a small collection of chapters for priming so hopefully I'll be able to get started on him soon: Aside from being pretty cool anyway, Black Templars have been a long feature for me in various forms since 4th Ed. I have the appropriately named Black Templar Contrast to try out as a different approach to my usual black methods, but any tips or suggestions will be welcome of course This extends to appropriate markings and the like - if I'm going to do a Templar he should be done properly
  17. ...and creates an awesome Ragnar :). What do you think about violet being a part of Space Wolves Grey? Enjoy:
  18. Hello folks, yesterday I bought a bottle of Vallejo Matt Medium, expecting the usual Vallejo quality - I never had any problems with their stuff - but then I put it on my pallette, it looked weird. Instead of being a homogenous liquid, this stuff was more lumpy. It also didn't flow from the bottle as expected. I shook the bottle a bit ( I didn't think this would be necessary, as it's just Medium). Still the same. I later added a metal agitator, shook the bottle like crazy, but still not much of a difference. I ended up not really using it, as having weird little lumps in your paint doesn't seem to be a good idea. Is this normal 0_0? Did I buy a bad batch?
  19. my camera is not working, so bear with me and the lack of images... last night i was working on a squad of Iron Warriors. they were based with lead belcher spray. i had gotten to doing various odd bits like holsters, and cloths and leather belts. so i painted them with wraithbone and then applied contrast. the contrast paints "crackled". which looks kind of like the technical paints that make the dried caked mud effect. i have never seen this before with contrast paints. i am not sure what happened. anyone else experiance this? obviously i want to figure it out so i can avoid it when i dont want it to happen. ***** notes on "crackling", the term, where i learned of it, and maybe the info might be useful to others. this is actually a painting technique that was used intentionally in the 80s in a big way with guitars. essentially you paint a guitar body one color and then before the paint has fully cured (or a layer of clear coat between, not sure) you paint a second color on top. the paints will contract at different rates because of their differential curing time (possibly controllable via the paint/solvent mixture, again, i am not an expert) this creates a cracked finish, where the top layer is broken up exposing the undercoat. 80s examples were sometimes extreme with neon colors underneath and black on top for example. its pretty neat looking, tho not for everyone. i never thought much of doing it on purpose on a miniature until i saw the technical basing paint. tho i have done it on purpose with spray paint when stenciling some heavy duty cases i have for non-forum related purposes. anyways. not super relevant but all painting techniques and knowledge have room for potential i suppose.
  20. Hey all, Apologies if this has been discussed already, couldn't find it so far. So, my question is if any of you have recommendations on how to get a base layer of primer by brushing it on? -> To be more precise, I tried priming some heads separately to give Darren Lathams Contrast-face-painting-tutorial a try. I started with scale 75 white airbrush primer, but the problem is that it's too fluid, meaning it flows into the recesses of the the faces, but the elevated parts don't get enough coverage. Do you have ideas on how to fix this? I tried mixing in colour to make it less fluid - still only slightly better - and now I tried some matt varnish... which is drying right now... Any hacks or should I just go and buy a can ? "Getting an airbrush is not a possibility/in the budget" right now...
  21. I was uhmmm-ing and ah-ing about posting this (I actually thought he was a user on b&c, but didn't find him), but anyway: therealbrokenfingers has just opened a yt-channel, and I thought you might be interested. He is known through Instagram (-> https://www.instagram.com/therealbrokenfingers/ and other places, I suppose...) for his true scale Alpha Legion, which he paints mostly with oils for an interesting, gritty look. Some nice tutorials on there already, also for terrain. Cheers! https://www.youtube.com/user/jeremycwood79
  22. A bit of background...Id started off this army a couple of years back, and got a few units to various levels of finality but then decided to change my colour scheme. A few of these units I started on for my vow last year, but never got them finished as ended up going through a lot of stuff in my personal life (and hadnt painted since). However with the forces of nurgle now running rampant in the proud streets of Edinburgh, my forge has has enforced full lockdown and got round to enacting reinforcement protocols. Have started this thread to make sure these new demands are met Onagers I've finished up my last 2 onagers, and just have a bit of highlighting/basing to tidy up with these. Getting the one to have a sassy leg cocked up on a rock was interesting, might shift the rock about a bit though so his leg is more central on it (it currently looks a bit like itd tip the rock over) Kastellans Andy and Ollie were mostly done, but have finished up a bit of basing and swapping their old reds for new blues Servitors & Daedolosus/Alpha conversion I picked up a squad of genestealer cultists to make some servitors with (i run a breacher maniple). These along with various leftover breacher/vanguard parts have made some decent servitors. I then used some other leftover parts with the mining laser from the GSC box, plus parts from sisters of silence, datasmith, infiltrators and vanguard, to make a 'counts as' daedolosus HQ The Daedolosus counts as join my other HQ units which have been finished up (apart from the blue techpriest - hes missng an arm and a few other bits). My white techpriest has his pseudogenator buddy along with him too (this guy was made from leftover negavolt cultists parts, which ive been using to make electropriest conversions) Theres also an engineseer in there i finished basing/highlighting. He's made from a leftover datasmith. Infiltrators I have 2 of 3 infiltrator squads pretty much finished up bar details and final basing. The 3rd squad is half done Breachers These guys have taken aaaaaaaages. Probably taken over a year on and off in varying forms. Both 6 man squads are 75%+ there now though, mainly basing and a fe weapons to go (some annoyingly went missing - am still missing 1 arc rifle) Although a lot of these were already started, im really pleased with where Ive got them to in a week of painting, its been way too long since i last picked up a brush Theres also about 40 vanguard/rangers on my desk in varying degrees of completion, and a squad of electropriest conversions hopefully coming soon.
  23. Brothers and Sisters of the Spire, Greetings long long time lurker. Having been a Member for quite awhile I wanted to start Primaris Marines and thus have purchased 2 boxes of Dark Imperium. My Wife being the kind individual that she is painted these models up for me and allowed me to present them to you today. Hopefully I can provide more next week.
  24. Tbh, I didn't finish watching this yet, but this looks quite interesting, especially for people without an airbrush (like me :D). It's kind of a promotional video for the Artis Opus drybrushing...errr... brushes, but it still looks like a solid tutorial. It should work with the usual make-up brushes as well anyway.
  25. Hi all, I've had a search of the forums and on Google, but I can't find a decent tutorial for olive skin. By olive skin I mean the skin tone you naturally get around the Med. It could be me, but I think it's slightly different to tanned white skin. I tried using the 'darker skin' tutorials I've found and they look too pink, if that makes sense? I've been trying a combo of 70% Steel Legion Drab and 30% Cadian Fleshtone, and it's kind of close, but I wondered if anyone had a better combo? This is for the skin for my chapter, who're Ancient Egyptian Space Ninjas, and one of my Guard regiments, who're Perisan Drop Troops. Tim
