ephrael Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Do yourself a huge favor and buy the corresponding colors from Vallejo if you don't have the GW paints already. You will not regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

GhostMalone Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostMalone Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Well I'm convinced now :D Still I need to look at their range. May use it on admech or thousand sons.... Still I wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostMalone Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Just thought about starting the thousand sons & I've decided to stay as an angry player and do a loyalist blood angels so as to be the counterpoint to my world eaters. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Blood for the Blood Angels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Two assault expert Legions? Meh, I say! Pick one that will work in conjunction with the strengths of the XII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hmmm your suggestion? I wanted to make two opposing forces for the realm of battle board. I'm using admech and IA eventually to support the WE but I'm thinking maybe your right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus-Alaska Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Honestly, two assaulty armies might be too much, as BCK says. but I don't know enough about the others to recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hmmm... Iron Warriors, Imperial Fists, Death Guard, or Iron Hands? All have a completely different style of war from the XII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 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.

Adeptus-Alaska Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i438/furioso-prime/tumblr_l96b01l36p1qdhmifo1_500.jpg 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!

Grotsmasha Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Something to consider for the Thousand Sons, Termies- http://www.forgeworld-discount.com/products/items/1/Exclusiveminiatures/348/ThousandSons-Terminatorconversionkit.html PA- http://www.forgeworld-discount.com/products/items/1/Exclusiveminiatures/456/ThousandSons-SpaceMarinesconversionkit.html Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
