I think I'm going to try the black. It appears that IW emphasized uniformity across it's personnel, I'll consider black to be a standardization across the formations of my army.

Bloody Legionnaire Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) 10 hours ago, Corswain said: I did black shoulder pads and hazard stripes randomly about the models - shins, forearms, chest plates. Different on every one. I just paint the whole panel yellow and then free hand in the black stripes. Not too painful. Did you like the look of that in your army? I thought about doing mixed too, but I like uniformity across formations and I think fluff wise that was a big thing for the Iron Warriors as well. Does anybody have any Isstvan V themed/inspired bases you could share? I'm trying to figure out a way to do the "black sands" that looks good I like the way this base looks, but I feel like more went into it than just the paints/products listed and I'm not sure what else I'd have to do to achieve that look.

jaxom Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 A texture medium on the base (crackle paste, or heavy gel acrylic medium), add chopped up sprue for detritus. Prime white or light grey Hit the top with a brown contrast paint Pick out any metal detritus with a dark metallic color; rust or corrosion paints/pigments optional Rim the base with black Noserenda 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363129-30k-hobby-chat/page/90/#findComment-5871548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mittens Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I would add, there are a lot of black and grey weathering pigments to give it an organic earthy feel.

The silver is definitely the dominant colour and keeping (nearly) all the shoulder pads black keeps them uniform. I should note that some units have hazard stripes in one particular spot on their weapons - Tryant siege terminators on the missle launchers for example. The Marines themselves still have random panels done. It's not going to appeal to everyone but it works for me.

Xenith Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Does anyone have a guide/image of magnetising the Deimos predator? I swear I've seen one somewhere but can't find it. I'm sure it's just one 4mm magnet in the turret, but want to make sure I position it optimally on the turret for each weapon.

Gamiel Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Just wondering, have anybody used Fafnir Rann as the base for a White Scars Preator/similar belonging to the Brotherhood of the Black Axe?

TheFirstKnight Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Finished this up a lot quicker than I expected, Thousand Sons Contemptor Dreadnought and former member of the Cult Athanaean (hence the eye on his torso in place of the Scarab). Looks a wee bit more sinister than I was expecting but fits the theme of my army (Order of the Scorpion).

Pearson73 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 @Iron Hands Fanatic The Delegatus looks excellent, the extra ornamentation makes a lot of sense, whilst the head and power pack swaps help give him a bit more legion identity.

No Foes Remain Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 More the certain, I just wish we'd get more infantry and not just tanks. I understand them wanting to get them out (especially since they are being really smart with the sprue layouts) but I would like to see some assault and dispoiler options as well as some breachers. Hell I'd even take a combi-weapon upgrade set at this point.

No Foes Remain Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 100%, both could easily be done as a upgrade kit similar to how the heavy weapons were done. I also want a volkite breacher squad for my Terran Ultras, put them in a Land Raider and throw at an objective....

WrathOfTheLion Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Does anyone have any opinions on color scheme for Emperor's Children destroyers? Going to do some for my Istvaan III loyalists, but I'm not sure whether to do the body in black with purple shoulderpads and maybe a purple helm, or keep the base body color purple with black shoulderpads.

I have a well-informed, considered and strongly held opinion: either would look great. Sorry that is so useless. It is the reason why my own destroyers are still in the “concept phase”.
