WIP round 2: Contrast and details

WIP round 2: Contrast and details

Metals, bones, flesh and emblems get some colour next.

Bronze trim is a brown/balthazar gold mix, highlighted in pure balth, flesh in screamer pink with the first step of Bugmans glow stippling.

Skulls and trophy bones are gorthor up through screaming skull.

Flesh Tearer contrast over white for the red wings.

A few lighter flesh tones to go on the flayed skin, blue/purple/red washes to break it up, and then washing some of the brighter metals down.

Then, lightning and eyes.

Well on the way to being table ready.

Farstalker Kinband

Just got the Combat Patrol to kitbash a few things for Killteam and 40k, and wanted get a look at some inspiration.

Thought I'd share my existing Kinband as a contribution for others doing the same

I'll probably do something similar to this, but step away from the exact scheme with

Theory: We'll get an Akurra model when he *spoiler*

>! When he finally gets the haft to go with the blades of the Pale Spear, assuming that's what they actually are, then we'll get a model for him !<

Side note: If Akurra and Honsou did the Arnie/Carl handshake from Predator, would Honsou's arm eat Akurra's?

Fast Nightlords blue base

Took a while to get it right, but here's what an hour, Nightlords Blue, Caledor Sky, Drakenhoff Nightshade and a makeup sponge can achieve.

NL blue, 50/50 everywhere with any lighting, then 3/1 Caledor/Nightlords on the raised surfaces, followed by an quick wash

Trim, Flesh, Bones, Metals and basing to go, but super happy with the result.

WIP on Angels of Death

More spikes to add once the greenstuff cures, and basing to go but all the most interesting bits are done.

Aethon Shaan is a completely unoriginal kitbash but I like his vibe so I thought I'd make an alternate Chaos Lord for my Murderwing.

Scream Cannon heavy intercessor proxy is probably my favourite dude

QOL Wishlist

There's so much great about this game, but there's a heap of small things that would be but QOL improvements.

These are just some of the ones off the top of my head, from the week or so it's been out.

What would you want added?

- Splicing Trait tool tips (hover over to read what's in a slot, without having to open the whole selection menu).

- Breeding partner comparison info; when picking the second Voidling to put in the breeding station, at least showing the stats and icon of the previously selected Voidling.

&#x200B;

- Buff icon timers; stuff like the boss shields, or stacks of debuffs/buffs on enemies. Maybe a clock timer showing stacks/buffs expiring

&#x200B;

- a Hatch All option (when I've 100+ eggs from an average Void run, it's a chore, and I'm still gonna have to compare them anyway in the menu

- a select option in the Voidlings (I) menu so I can tick a whole bunch and release them all at once

-setting an auto release threshold; if you hatch something without a nature, and it's not something bred with higher stats, it's going to get released anyway (unsure if there's a cap of how many voidlings you can hold, I don't intend to find out)

- sort/filter by Nature

- some method of marking Voidlings icons in the (I) menu, like either favouriting them or putting a shape or coloured border on the icon so I can find them quickly/visually identify them without individual mouse overs

- Deeper Abyss starting checkpoints (if I've gotten past level 100 on the Abyss with a voidling, that voidling being able to start at a higher Abyss level would be cool.

The first 50 levels on a fully bred and half decently built voidling are just time gating, 1 and 50 feel almost the same when you one shot everything, bosses only last a touch longer because of their sheild buff, and you can still just kill em through it til around 40 or 50.

What have I missed?

Legionary 2.0

I built and painted (poorly) the Legionary killteam when it came out with Nachmund, already having had compendium Chaos Space Marines painted as Nightlords; since the release of Murderwing and Wolf Scouts, and having done a better job in them, I brought these guys up to the same level.

Nemesis Claw still to come, a couple of operatives are well in need of a scrub up.

I'll be happy not to have to do any more lightning for a while though.
