I scraped off the Armageddon iconography. If I was bolder I’d remove the rest so I could have more of my own work on the banner. The decals are from Forgotten Chapters.

I mark my veterans with white helmets, left knees, and tabards. The sergeant gets a black stripe.

Any conversion or paint job ideas for these? Reaper Miniatures Heartbreakers. I’m thinking of adding a boltgun and chainsword. Maybe yellow body and arms, white or leather brown boots and gloves. Quartered body with a heart icon centrally?

Here’s how I do my yellow. I started my Lamenters a couple of years ago, and might do them differently now, but I like a uniform look so will continue with this technique.

1. ⁠I paint the heads and backpack separately so I can access tricky areas. I glue sand to the base with PVA.
2. ⁠Rattlecan spray Vallejo Bonewhite or similar.
3. ⁠Paint the base. I use some thin browns and drybrushing for an ash waste look. I do this stage now because it is fun and messy. Any terrible messes I can cover with Vallejo Bonewhite from ta dropper bottle.
4. ⁠Drybrush white. This is a cheap craft paint. This is my approach to Le Slapchop without a really dark base layer.
5. ⁠Citadel Ironjawz Yellow
6. ⁠SMS Umber wash. https://www.scalemodeller.com.au/products/wash-umber-30ml This is an oil-based wash I try to get into all the shadows, but I can be pretty messy with it.
7. ⁠I use a makeup sponge and a trace of artist’s white spirit to remove any excess wash. All done!
8. ⁠Paint the rest of the owl.

I magnetized the underslung weapons and flightstand. The flightstand is clear perspex with UV resin. I will overpaint the heart decals; I didn’t see how translucent they were whilst painting them.

Speedpaint Forest Sprite for the skin. The Boss Nob is magnetized. Still not sure about the rokkits

I’d love to see more non-gang figures.
