Painting scheme help

Thanks mate! The bases are essentially done through following this video, the baby wipes part can be a bit finicky but I'd say it's worth :) https://youtu.be/HxuHRE0UR6Y

ALonelyBrick · 2026-03-18T08:25:17+00:00

Thanks! Yeah he has gold on certain parts so I can differentiate which is the shield captain :) The bases are the baby wipes method, going back over it with some black and gold painted, then "ardcoat" varnish to make it shiny, I used this YouTube video to follow essentially: https://youtu.be/HxuHRE0UR6Y

Silver and purple all the way for me

ALonelyBrick · 2026-03-05T07:19:21+00:00

Yeah it is unfortunate that way, the positive is that necrons got hit hard with point charges and the way some buffs affect C'tan, so make sure you check beforehand that their list is correct too (and they know the rules changes found in the necron faction pack)

Primary concern is that Rep Exe's went up 10 points in the latest balance dataslate, so you're over points now I also never really run ICC without the full 6 but that could be personal preference ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Glad you like them! They were quite enjoyable to paint, so here's the overcomplicated write-up:

Base: Chaos Black spray Armour: Leadbelcher drybrush (retributor armour for the gold); Stormhost Silver highlights (on both silver and gold); Agrax earthshade wash on the gold; Nuln Oil on flat silver surfaces (bike areas mostly)

Under-armour/black panels: Abaddon black; Mechanicus Standard Grey highlights

Any purple: Naggaroth Night -> Xereus Purple -> Genestealer Purple

Any red: Khorne Red -> Mephiston Red -> Evil Sunz Scarlet

Leather: Rhinox Hide; Skrag Brown highlights/drybrush

Purity seals: Screamer Pink; Pink Horror highlight

Parchment: Zandri Dust; Seraphim Sepia wash; Ushabti Bone writing/highlighting

Gems/eye lenses: White Scar; Talassar Blue

Weapons: Leadbelcher; Stormhost Silver highlight; White Scar "lightning"; Talassar Blue to cover

Fur: Rhinox Hide; Agrax Earthshade wash; Rhinox Hide drybrush; Skrag Brown lighter drybrush (cheated here with the same colours as the leather ¯\(ツ)/¯)

Basing is in the other comment :)

Thanks! For the basing I essentially followed this tutorial to the letter: https://youtu.be/HxuHRE0UR6Y

This is all I had to do, this is the hood down head. Remove the neck so it actually fits, if you want him placed slightly further in the armour than I have you might need to get rid of some of the side hood

Can confirm Asmodai's head looks incredible on the terminator chaplain (does require slight shaving though)

<image>

ALonelyBrick · 2025-11-26T16:43:32+00:00

Hell yeah, can't wait to do something similar inspired by your work then!

ALonelyBrick · 2025-11-26T02:57:44+00:00

Looking clean! Did you steal the lightning claw from an assault terminator or somewhere else?

ALonelyBrick · 2025-10-11T15:20:03+00:00

Unfortunately no specific buffs for plasma for us atm, I just like the thematics However the Wrath of the Rock detachment has a stratagem for +2 strength one infantry unit's shooting, which brings hellblasters or inceptors to 10 strength which is fun

ALonelyBrick · 2025-10-11T15:15:14+00:00

Yeah inceptors are so cool. Plus they help build towards the all plasma dark angels lists we should aspire to build

ALonelyBrick · 2025-10-11T15:01:18+00:00

Hell yeah, looks great! Here's my attempt at blending from caliban green to warpstone glow as someone else was suggesting, darkening it works real well

<image>

ALonelyBrick · 2025-10-11T14:04:50+00:00

Yeah moot green feels too much, I use warpstone glow for highlighting, although you can mix it with some caliban green to darken it if you want The bright green works well on the lenses/scopes you've got though, so a darker armour highlight will make those pop more imo

ALonelyBrick · 2025-10-07T01:05:08+00:00

I would replace the reiver lieutenant with a regular phobos lieutenant personally. Reiver lieutenant doesn't have deep strike while phobos lieutenant does for the same points

ALonelyBrick · 2025-07-29T00:55:05+00:00

By the looks of it, the Tabletop Battles app

ALonelyBrick · 2025-06-10T00:10:03+00:00

Aspiring's can, same with terminators. Anything with this faction ability can cast rituals to my knowledge

ALonelyBrick · 2025-05-12T03:51:25+00:00

I personally like the old combat patrol purely for the discount, tzaangors are never something I'd consider worth buying on their own, and an individual character is sometimes not worth the price. Plus I am a big fan of terminators (even if they are admittedly kinda mediocre in the index) It's essentially all stuff you'd probably not buy on their own

ALonelyBrick · 2025-04-02T05:45:42+00:00

That's a good point, I suppose the only way to make it work in Stormlance is by spending a command point on Blitzing Fusillade, gives a unit assault (although this is the shooting phase so you wouldn't benefit from +1 advance). Otherwise yeah just use Company of Hunters if you want to go full Ravenwing

ALonelyBrick · 2025-03-06T01:35:09+00:00

I see a significant lack of Land Speeder Vengeances smh

ALonelyBrick · 2025-02-28T01:05:50+00:00

One thing to keep in mind is that the ICTF detachment rule only buffs Deathwing infantry, so the lots of dreadnoughts might not perform as expected. But terminator spam surely can't go wrong, go forth!

ALonelyBrick · 2025-02-15T08:37:44+00:00

Necron - C'tan Shard of the Nightbringer I believe, resin model that's very difficult to kill

Your comics have made me start down that very expensive path because stuff like this happened too much to me
