This is why the sons have that extra emotion 😆

*sorry for posting this dude so much but he cracks me up

Happy now? u/nerdboy_sam? 😂

What do you all listen to if anything when painting and building?

My current groove is listening to Castel Rat. Ever heard of them? Check them out.

Ive also been listening to season of fire. Its okay so far. I think i liked the morvan vahl story a bit more.

I normally paint Dark Kraken but in honor of Armageddon I decided to paint all the Salamander’s successor chapters that are on Armageddon. Not brave enough to freehand the logo.

Not sure if I did the black dragons justice with this one but I tried lol

Update on my post from a few days ago, got my first marine painted up. One down, 37 more, plus a dreadnought and an impulsor, to go.

If you’ve seen the Death Guard and Night Lord champion skins in PvP you should know that Focus is capable of adding bones and bone claw aesthetics to armor, even the Carcharodons pauldron is full of bone. There’s tons of official images and lore that they can get inspired by for the cosmetic pack. Dragons can have 1 to 3 or more horns and their claws can vary in style as well

People have always wanted lighting claws, what they could do is make a power fist with a black dragon bone claws coming from it, 2 birds 1 stone.

I’ve seen folks in this community in the past say that the Dragons are too niche to get a pack, welp we’re in a real niche era with the Exorcist pack coming and the leak of the Lamenters pack. So If anyone from Focus sees this, Bless the Curse 🙏🔥

Finally completed Absolutes without going down and unlocked the Black Dragons’ icon. I would have added a white stripe on the right pauldron like some Black Dragons art has, but unfortunately it can’t be added to this pauldron. Still happy with how it looks.

Missing decals for now, but I figured I’d use one of the Armageddon Intercessors to practice the scheme while I build up to my LT. Still not the best painter, but I’m pretty happy with this one

I think this patch should be fun. Notice another heroic sword, so I guess that could be an indication that all heroics will be limit at 3?

Still no volkite heroic yet tho

Salamanders finally get their champion, always a plus. Maybe voice pack will follow shortly after?

The future class, im still banking on Chaplin. Also a one handed thunder hammer? I thought a maul would have been more feasible given it can just be alternate skin for the Chaplins weapon, if hes the new class.

Thoughts?

Waiting for a friend from my LGS to print out bone arm bits, but I’m looking forward to finishing and painting this guy up

Just finished assembling all this, and I am so happy with how it turned out. Even though I wish I hadn't posed so many if the jump pack Intercessors like that. Though I'm especially proud of how I kitbashed an Inceptor into Volos, even though I could've gone a little heavier on the spikes. It's a bit over 1000 in the picture, since I printed some extra stuff like a squad of assault intercessors, jump pack captain, and blood angels captain, just in case I need them when eventually going for 2000 points.
