okonomiyakimarine Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hi all so the warp spat out another newbie! well into my 30s by now I finally found a way into the hobby. Windowshopping with a friend and his son I stumbled over the BaC box. The kid was intimidated. So was I, but rather brave than wise I went back to the shop. Now I sit here with more plastic and resin I could paint before the end of the year, but one has to start at some point, right? So I got me some paint and made some mistakes when priming, painted coats thick as icing, but finally there is a result or rather a start: My first ever almost finished minis and a reason to say hello after lurking for quite a while. Actually I wanted to paint the BaC box as Word Bearers with red should pads (don't like black pads) as well as the old grey color scheme, but the red turned out like dusty Thousand Sons... so I added gold highlights to the trim (as a test) and now I am totally undecided really. Here's some WIP shots. Minis still need clean up, better highlights and backpacks... http://imgur.com/a/hWqaR Once decided if I turn them to WBs or TSs I will open a WIP thread. Please help me decide what to actually paint! http://i.imgur.com/8oATUf5.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322707-newbie-from-the-immaterium/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Welcome to B&C! Regarding your decision about what Legion, perhaps this will be of some help?

Captain Semper Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Welcome. I really think the best place to put your question is the Age of Darkness forum. Excellent job btw! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322707-newbie-from-the-immaterium/#findComment-4403498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Welcome brother. Nice looking marines, for first mini's they're pretty damn amazing.

The laughing raven Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 a little thinned down "blood for the blood god" would make a nice thousands sonsfinish if you do change from WB's :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322707-newbie-from-the-immaterium/#findComment-4403586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hail and welcome to B&C, brother! I'd like to see them as Thousand Sons, to be honest. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322707-newbie-from-the-immaterium/#findComment-4403935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
okonomiyakimarine Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks everyone for the friendly welcome and nice words on my first steps into painting! I specified my question a bit and try to inquire more information on TS in the AoD subforum / legion for you thread. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320317-the-legion-for-you-part-two-electric-boogaloo/?p=4404205 Thx again for you interest.

WarriorFish Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Do TS, they're cool and under represented. Their time is the sun is coming too, so it could actually be the perfect time to start - you can work on some Tacs while the new and fancy bits come :) Your red could easily work for either legion, but I'd say perhaps a little more TS than WB.
