Painting my ancient black, looking for advice
Gonna be panting my armageddon marines soon. I’ve decided to have at least the ancient in primarily black armour. Idk why but it just seems like a cool idea for black armour and a yellow helmet. Anyway, my issue is that I don’t really like the classic prime black then do a layer of abby black then edge highlight like 3 times, nor do I really like slapchop. I’m looking for a way to get a good looking black armour that involves some kind of zenithal priming as my current IF recipe is wraithbone prime, RH pink from 30° angle from below then a puff of white scar then IF contrast. Is there a way for me to do that but with black and swapping the primers for something else? My thinking is to prime wraith or grey seer then macragge blue from below a little bit then use a black contrast
TT Combat Spotlight Yellow Primer
Has anyone used this primer? I’m thinking about picking it up for larger vehicles like the armageddon speeder, land raiders etc. I’ve looked at CF’s sunset and valrak yellows and they just don’t pop enough for me to
Vanguard veteran loadouts
Building my armageddon vanvets. I genuinely don’t know what to put on them. I have quite a lot of excess bits in bags including enough to slap a pair of lightning claws on each and run them as power weapons and the just say their pistols are in their holsters. But yea I’m not really sure what to run on them
Are sternhelms still a thing?
Only recently found out what black helmet + white stripe means. Just wondering if they’re still a thing? Also would black armour + yellow pads and helmet still be in line with lore? I really like the look and I think it would look cool on the armageddon intercessors. I’ve done some swaps on 2 to make 2 sergeants
(40K) 10 man of bolters
Is there any use for a 10 man of bolters? Champion would probably plasma pistol and power fist still
Plague marine special weapon arms
I’m not sure which models can take which special weapon arms. Most of them only have instructions for bolter or melee weapons and I’ve been told that this is the optimal 7 man squad setup but like I said I’m not sure which arms can go on which mini. Are they super interchangeable?
BGV assigned to the 5th company
I’m getting quite fast at painting marines now which is cool
Lore accurate 5th company BGV trim and helmet colours?
Would they have white helmets and trim or yellow helmets and black trim or white helmets and black trim? Or something else?
Painted my 2nd fist, Felbrecht of the 5th company
This was also my first time seriously trying plasma glow effects so that was fun. I used a powder on the metallics of the feet and ankles to get some weathering on there too

Better ways to paint yellow
Painting my first IF today (bladeguard lieutenant). I’ve painted yellow before (iyanden) and I have always primed wraith, then RH pink from a low angle then a tiny bit of white scar from almost directly above. I’ve done that again this time but I’m using IF yellow contrast instead of iyanden. Not sure if it’s because marines have a lot more detail than eldar but it’s not exactly fun. I’m wondering if I should just do another prime after I’ve done my zenithal with some kind of yellow. Do people do that or is contrast the norm?
(eBay) “Tax and government fees”
So since the latest eBay update I’ve noticed that there’s now a performance section with a “tax and government fees” bit. There’s also a threshold that once broken we have to register as a sole trader. I’m just wondering if the tax and government fees bit overrides the sole trader bit so it does the tax etc automatically for us?

(UK) 26 and need to leave home but can’t get the confidence
Context; I’m 26, need to leave home to start my life (late bloomer, metal health issues) and to start working in my industry (creative, have Master’s), but I can’t work up the confidence to do it due to never having lived away from home, being an only child and my parents being old (dad is 71 next month, mum just turned 66 this month). There’s genuinely no work in the creative industry around my area and the only real places where there is are London and other big cities in other countries. I genuinely want to leave but I don’t know what to do because of my situation. My parents aren’t like dying but I am starting to notice them slowing down a little and it just makes me super anxious with thoughts like “they will die the second I’m independent” and I don’t know how to get over stuff like that
BG Lieutenant Question
Hello. I’m building an IF 5th company collection. I want it to be as lore accurate as possible. Since this lieutenant model is a BG, would he only be in the 1st company of a chapter? Or could he be in any company?
