Long time lurker first time poster.

Starting a fresh escalation campaign with friends and decided to finally do my long planned Tyrant's Legion army, using the CSM codex to allow for a mix on marines and PDF - also to allow some creative liberties with conversions and proxies. Primarily using MKII Horus Heresy and Cadian range, so to start here with we have:

Centurion - Master of Executions

Retaliator Squad - Nemesis Claw

Venerable Dreadnought - Forgefiend

Tech Priest with PDF Retinue - Warpsmith

PDF Militia - Traitor Guardsman

Hi,

Remember, how I proclaimed I would now completely finish individual units and stip batch painting? Yeah, that didn't went so well. 😅

Continued batch painting the complete army. 😂 Finished the orange on all, yellow flames on all completed, yellow done in general, weapon casings done, weapon stripes added and more. Next is finishing the metallic elements (that are just a base layer atm. 😅🙈), paint the eyes, power weapon effects, heated barrel effects. And orange flames in the yellow....

After having to deal with the fact, that the german goverment made a reform to our insurance system, that basically takes away most therapies and medical support I fought for over a decade now and makes it unlikley I will be around for my 40th... (what is done to tens of thousands of people, while they also cut the funding for su1z1de emergency hotlines completely... great for everyone traumatized, chronical ill, disabled or trans. 🤦🏼‍♀️😡 And yeah I check all boxes... 🙄) Just being able to sit down with some good music and paint the details from the imperial armor books, really was my rock the last two weeks and allowed me to relax in some form or way. So, yeah. I will absolutley go on and finish them, with all the care and passion I have for Alans work and legacy. 😌

Sorry for dropping personal all that stuff in here. 🙈 Hope you enjoy the pics. 😊🤘

I am so so happy. Yet I still have to add the plasma effect, a bit of pigment powder to the base and the rim. Does anybody have a good recipe for the gold on their aquillas. Not happy with my recipe. You can see it on the shoulder trim of the second guy.

I own PDFs of the 1st edition rules but has anyone played the conflict out with the rules at the time. I would like to play one of the chapters like the Tiger Claws or Raptors and learn how 40k was in the 1st edition days. Is it fun and worth the time?

Hey folks, my buddy and I have dived head first into the Badab war. He decided to start Lamenters and I chose Marines Errant. The two tone scheme was a bit of a challenge but masking tape and an airbrush has given me decent results. Looking forward to building and painting the rest!

So I got these lamenters decals from impatient tabletop, sadly they are very translucent. Is this a problem inherent to all decals or a quality issue?

I think I could try to first apply the white circle decal of the space marine infantry sheet to acquire a unified base. Any other solutions?

Edit: applying the white circle from the space marine infantry shield beforehand solved the issue. Now I can use up the sheet I ordered and will look for another solution in the future. Thanks to everyone who answered.
