Hey everybody! Painted my first traitor space marine and figured I'd share. Twas a fun time and liked the end result, even if it's not the cleanest in the world. (I have no idea why I painted the mace like that but it looks cool so???????)
New Squad Done!
Two big wins with these guys:
Cool burnt gun barrels :D
This is the fastest I've finished models to this quality. I got all three of these guys done within just about a week, which is, on average, over TRIPLE the speed I usually trudge along at. So I'm super pleased and happy!
Armageddon's Vanguard Veterans coming next!
Overall I'm very proud of these dudes. First time trying non-metallic-metal with the power swords and they turned out exactly how I wanted them to!
I think I should have cut off the tactical rocks attached to their feet to make the transition between the model and the base a bit better, but oh well. Sometimes you just have to finish a project and move on to the next one. Lesson learned, still proud of what I've done! Excited to paint the next Dark Krakens.
Hey all! New here, but super exited to explore eldar, specifically of the exodite flavor!
I got to thinking about kitbashing some stuff, and wanted to ask you all:
You think one could take the big bug characters from AoS and kitbash them into exodite stuff? I was thinking of using the bugs themselves as tanks and the characters on top as possible Avatar of Khaine proxies. What you do guys think?
Hey everyone! I'm new here, and especially new to kitbashing, and wanted advice. I got an armageddon librarian and I'm trying to customize it. Something I want to do is get rid of the skull on the shoulder, but I'm worried about ruining it. Any advice? Should I use a file? Knife? Acid? Prayers? Anything notes help 😁
Hello everyone! I'm very new to this subreddit, but the new kill team is GORGEOUS and led me down a lore rabbit hole and now I'm sold on Exodites being awesome! However, I'm not sure where to look for more lore / faction info / model collecting/painting. Any suggestions on where to start?
Finished my first dreadnought! Experimented with a few techniques, dry brushing to get some of the gradients, free-handing the lobster, alternate base-coating to make things a little faster, but all in all I'm very pleased how he came out! (Text on the banners is based on the recently describe cretaceous giant cephalopod, Nanaimoteuthis Haggarti). Chapter decals will come, I don't have the right size for this guy yet unfortunately.
...Right?
Hello Brothers. I am on a mission to collect, build, and paint every kind of dreadnought for my Dark Krakens army, and I thought it would be fun to do some free-hand "decals" for each, inspired by someone I saw paint a lobster on the shoulder of their dreadnought.
Additionally, I thought it would be fun to make a different critter for each type of dreadnought. Ballistus I figured could be a shrimp, since pistol shrimp exist and its ranged, but I'm torn between the Redemptor and the Brutalis and which to make a crab and which to make a lobster. Any thought?
Got three more models done, which means my aggressors and eliminators are all done!
The aggressor was a problem since I built him wrong and the ammo belts wouldn't connect. Had to get crafty with some extra sprue and cutting corners, but I made it work!
Super proud of the cloaks of my snipers. First time painting cloth texture and it worked really well!
