I'm thinking once this project is done some vallajeo and an airbrush will help with some admech and titans.

How do you find handling other colours that aren't GW?

I bought some of the Vallejo game and model colord to try and gave away all of my GW paints a few years ago. When GW redid their paints I bought some to try and to teach my kids how to paint minis with. I gave all of those away as well. I mainly use Vallejo, especially the model air line. They are ready to go in my airbrush and thinned enough to paint with a brush right out of the bottle. I have a few of the GW inks that I still use, thats it.

Any photos of finished vallajeo minis?

I'm tempted to switch but I need to know which paints to transfer to, can't stop unison within the company

I don't have photos of finished minis but I'll be using their paints on my DA and I'm starting my log tonight if I can get some good pics of my primed minis.

Well I thought it would still be a contrast in colour like the TS but easier conversion potentials and I can have them defending whilst trying to outflank/overrun my world eaters that could be besieging a garrison.

 

Plus trench warfare with two loads of pshycotics could be fun ;)

 

I still want to do a squad of thousand sons as a showpiece but I think blood angels are on the table ill just avoid sculpted breastplates as I hate them

Dark angels- too many people like them and I don't want to go back to them. It's hard enough building the kits for my cousin let alone do it for him and me

 

Emperors children- I would consider it but I'd need to learn how to do a marble purple effect

 

Iron warriors- good contrast and great for sieges plus sworn oath brothers, yet I don't think I could pull it off

 

White scars- I'd love to do but I need asiany bare heads which I can't seem to find any decent ones

 

Space wolves- I don't want to become like my brother who is a hardcore wolves fanatic

 

Imperial fists- perfect opposition I'm just not sure on painting yellow

 

Night lords- I know heinrich and kol would love me to do them but I know my ability isn't up to that standard

 

Blood angels- easy conversions and paint scheme to close to the WE though

 

Iron hands- I think I could do it if I get a good black recipe :)

 

Ultras- I've always been weary of them as it's the go to army at my club

 

Death guard- perfect if I wasn't already doing a heavy support theme

 

Thousand sons- scared of the conversion side and the legion organization

 

SoH- I hate abaddon but love loken, sort of not sure but I'd like to do it

 

Word bearers- as much as I love lorgar argel-tal and the whole back story I worry on the scheme

 

Salamanders- I need convincing and I don't like the skin and eyes combo

 

Raven guard- high possibility just not liking heraldry

 

Alpha legion- all mk vi all helmets no adorning anything and they're done

 

So yeah guys I need help

There's several ways you can organize the Legions, in my opinion, this is how I see them(emphasis for fluff thugs that want to argue with me about my own opinion)

 

The broadest category to me is whether they're primarily shooty, stabby, or a hybrid of the two.

 

Shooty: Iron Warriors, Imperial Fists, Iron Hands, Death Guard, Thousand Sons, Salamanders, Word Bearers

 

Stabby: Emperor's Children, Space Wolves, Night Lords, Blood Angels, World Eaters, Raven Guard

 

Hybrid: Dark Angels, White Scars, Ultras, SoH, Alpha Legion

 

Since WE are definitely Stabby, I'd go with either a Shooty Or Hybrid choice.

well out of those I vote;

 

1. Iron warriors-because we don't have any yet. and, I have a great recipe for Iron! if you want to see it, I am using it on my Black Templars(which, Ironically, are not black!)

and I have two different versions of the "iron". and the BT tester will be on my BT thread. but I'll post it here so you can see.

 

2. Imperial fists-as a former Lamentor player, I have a super easy yellow recipe that is a little more subdued than the Cannon Yellow of the 40th.

 

3. Iron Hands- Black recipe, gotcha covered there as well. the largest army I ever collected was about 6K of Black Templars. so yeah, I am a little decent with the black paint jobs!

 

4. And of course i am going to recommend Salamanders. I love your world eaters, and would equally love to see your take on the "ORIGINAL" boys in green!

@kage- I'm thinking shooty rather than a hybrid as I want my WE to be the footsloggers and I do like how you broke those down

 

@prime- hmm these recipes I must see :)

 

@grotsmasha- yeah johno I looked on there a while back I'm just not sure on the weapons if anything, plus that adds up quite quickly for the resin but I'm considering it.

 

What I want from this second legion is something I can use as loyalists and traitors. But at the same time I'm thinking fists IW IH or maybe even Sallies.... But I like the aesthetics of the TS
