The old man of Armageddon is ready!

I was definitely disappointed with the overcorrected nerfs without any giveback but I just love the hero of Hades hive too much to not own him and paint up with my Armageddon defense force. I'm very happy with how my faces and eyes are turning out.

Baneblade WiP

Hi folks. I’m sharing with you my WiP Baneblade. I think I went little over the top with the main cannon Helsearch countdown but otherwise: am I cooking here? Any cool ideas to enhance my vehicle?

Coats done!

Do yall think the color is too dark?

Also I know it’s a very messy model but I have 60 to paint in the next couple days so I’m basically drybrushing and detailing.

Snipers

Hello. Am I understanding correctly, the only way to get snipers in your gaurd army is to have a unit of Red Rider armed Hobbits? I know, I know...its only a game and I have to suspended all & any expectations of reality but snipers don't act in large groups in warfare. The 40k concept is what comes to mind would be units of smoothbore muskets (lasgun troops) with a small company of rifle armed men (snipers). I just have a problem wrapping my head around this concept for ultra modern troops...

I'm just getting over yhe fact I can't split heavy weapons teams and they need to be taken as essentially "batteries"...

The Start of Something Great?

Excited to start Steel Legion! Quick question—is there any tonal variation in their coats throughout the regiments? Planning on spray priming Fur Brown and then drybrushing Demigod Flames (both from army painter), but that will be a little more brown than I see in media.

Tiny legend

I would love to use tiny legend’s blitz legion but they’re so so god dam expensive. I need 40 guard for my first list and thats £160 compared to 131 for regular cadians (flgs) and the tiny legend heads. It’s crazy! Anyone else know how to get them cheaper without a printer? And anyway, say I were to chops them over cadians, are they worth the price tag?

The finished vanquisher and company captain.

This was a slog, but glad it's over 😅

Steel Legion special forces

Just finished the test model for my steel legion kasirkin substitutes. I’ve been using blue stuff to make casts of the chest plates on solar auxiliary infantry. I’ve taken those and cut off the front of the cadian chest removed the sculpted back packs for power packs, and later I’m going to use wire to add the gas mask hose to the power pack. This is a test model and my plan is for them to be a sniper.

With all the hype around Armageddon for 11th edition, it really made me want some Steel Legion troops, but I didn't feel like waiting the 2-3 years for those concept sketches to be made into models.

Wargames Atlantic's "not-Steel Legion" Raumjager kit + some TinyLegend heads gave me just what I was looking for!

Hope y'all like 'em!

First of my vehicles for my regiment

WIP, wanted to hit that iconic ash wastes scheme. Primed with chaos black, then dry brushed with a mix of wraithbone and abaddon black to make a grey (don't have one lol), abaddon black on the heavy bolters and the bit of trim I have lined, then steel legion drab for the tan camouflage. Going to add some wraithbone to some steel legion drab to add some more value to the camo areas, then (not sure what it's called) do the white and red stripes thing above where i have the black panel painted in.

Newly painted models for my local Kill Team 2018 campaign

I've had these guys kicking around since the last made to order run by GW. Had to get them done in the space of about 2 weeks for our upcoming campaign, so there are a few rough lines here and there, but they look good at arms length.
