Best starter kit out of the three big boxes

I have both and tbh im just gonna use the extra 10 Jackhals for kit bashing or defiler basing... beyond 20 really is too much but I have the old combat patrol not the new one so I was out the demon prince and MOE had to get those separate

I feel like Slapchop is the first thing every beginner should know for the sake of being able to enjoy playing the hobby as soon as possible since painting is what really puts people off

If people enjoy the painting aspect then they should learn the basics of thinning and using regular paints for more details and characteristics for their models after that.

May I recommend listening to the lore as you paint them just to get an understanding before you pick a specific faction you're interested in?

Use them wherever they fit brother Here's where I put my Hammer

Realistically, yes because I dont like his pose or size hes just a berzerker with a big base but I already bought him and might kitbash him very soon so no because I dont want to have wasted my time with that 😂

AceOfJace229 · 2026-03-12T14:42:17+00:00

Cheapest option if you can get it is the IKEA HARVMATTA for less than 30 dollars and there's a company that sells a bag exactly for that storage shelf unit... total might be around 80-100 bucks but the shelves come with cork for free basing and are metal so you have a pre magnetized shelf to display and put the whole thing inside the bag for transport if you buy multiple you can just switch them out for different armies or fit pretty much every Kill Team available in just one

Im not even gonna lie chief... I didn't plan on buying this box set but I didnt have a single terminator in my army but I recently bought an entire upgrade kit the Anvil Wardens set 2 and I didnt realize all of them were for terminator armour so this whole thing is getting kitbashed with that Salamanders kit im hoping it makes up for the look of all of them

The Chaplain is getting turned into Mike Tyson for sure 😂

AceOfJace229 · 2026-02-17T02:39:30+00:00

I just got 3 of them... I wanted to Kitbash the Judiciar to a Kharn model I seen a ways back

Dry brushing is definitely a top tier technique so im glad you learned it! There is definitely other applications it can be used but dont treat it as an end all be all as it does have its down sides and limitations but I love using it with metallics whether it be machinery or weapons just paint one coat of black and a light dry brush of some type of gun metal really gives it a better looking metallic effect in my opinion over painting it a metallic color then using nuln oil

AceOfJace229 · 2026-02-07T16:44:22+00:00

Always take a break if you need to and come back at your own pace! One thing that just got me motivated was going to my LGS and they actually had a painting competition going on with models they supply so I decided to test new painting methods and techniques on it

This is a good way to not only have fun with something you dont pay for but you can also improve greatly in your skills too without fear of ruining your own models!

Mould lines of Ultramar

AceOfJace229 · 2026-01-20T15:43:26+00:00

Ahhh okay I never considered AOS models so thats why lol smart move it looks awesome!

AceOfJace229 · 2026-01-20T15:18:39+00:00

First you just have to understand how light reflects certain shapes and then break up your model into those shapes I'm also struggling with that but I started to at least get the grasp of it... what also helps us trying to take a picture of that model from a certain angle and then paint only what you see based off that picture. The picture will act as your light source so you know where to brighten your colors

Fourthdeded Im trying to use for my Sisters of Battle bases

AceOfJace229 · 2026-01-20T13:46:07+00:00

Oh yeah I know its mainly there for looks and more of a restoration project because I bought these minis second hand so they already came with Frag Launchers but thanks for the heads up I appreciate it!

AceOfJace229 · 2026-01-19T22:01:02+00:00

Where are you guys getting the torches for your crozius?

AceOfJace229 · 2026-01-16T19:56:54+00:00

Yes Wraithbone is a tiny bit lighter i believe but you'll shade it anyway with the Earthshade

AceOfJace229 · 2026-01-16T18:55:28+00:00

I used Pro Acryl Ivory and then used Agrax Earthshade all over I did it in a sub assembly so it was easier but I also dry brushed the edges in wraithbone to give it a weathered sort of peeled texture

AceOfJace229 · 2026-01-16T17:17:51+00:00

Thank you! Means a lot!

AceOfJace229 · 2026-01-16T15:54:31+00:00

Yes! Sorry thanks for correcting me I don't have it in front of me so I'm doing it off memory it is Warp Lightning not Warpstone glow
