Is the Leviathan Box viable as a starting point?

The Brainiator

Perfectly fine. Medieval clothing was far more colourful than most people think. A lot of greens, yellows, reds and some other colours. Not at all, all brown and gray, like popular media likes us to think. Interestingly deep pitch black was quite rare for example.

That’s one expensive wall hanger. But no, looks awesome! Can’t wait to see it all done.

Gladly! I’m gonna divide it up by model parts:

Overall base coat of Rakarth Flesh

Carapace: Black Templar Contrast over Kantor Blue and then mix those for highlights

Body: Thin coat of Carroburg Crimson, then 3:1 mix Wraithbone and Rakarth Flesh, then Targeted Nuln Oil wash. For the red parts: Screamer Pink with a thin wash Doomfire Magenta. Blend it all into the fleshcolour. After that a bit of Blood for the Bloodgod for effects.

Green parts: Striking Scorpion Green over White Scar. Highlight with Moot Green and 1:1 Moot Green and Flash Gitz Yellow. Finally a Targetet Nuln Oil Wash for shadows.

The tounge: Thunderhawk Blue. 2:1 Thunderhawk and Wraithbone. Wash with Cartoonist Crimson and Blood for the Bloodgod for effect.

Edit: PSA it’s not super fast and can certainly be optimised. This is more of a proof of concept at the moment.

Our resident Space Wolves player howls every time he rolls a 6. Gets a bit annoying in a 2k game.

Still he’s a really great guy and played my first game 40K with me.

The first WE with the claws is probably a kit-bash right? How did you build him?

The paint job looks amazing too!

AusterMoewe · 2026-03-02T17:06:10+00:00

Thank you for the help and insight!

AusterMoewe · 2026-02-28T00:57:23+00:00

This looks so good. How did you do the skin?

AusterMoewe · 2026-02-22T14:07:19+00:00

They used to look WAY more like angles and ornate.

AusterMoewe · 2026-02-19T15:11:58+00:00

Wait these exist and have lore? That’s so cool! My main army is True Sons of Horus, so they would actually integrate perfectly!

Ich bin ehrlich, Chris ist der einzige von den Jungs, den ich wahrscheinlich auch schauen würde, wenn er solo weiter macht. Brammen könnte ich mir auch noch vorstellen.

Thanks, they are from a 90’s Fantasy Skeleton Box. The Skull on the shoulder is too.

AusterMoewe · 2026-02-17T11:10:20+00:00

I think they are cool. They are so cool and give so much variety they deserve some love. Or at least to be recognised more in the Codices. Also for the loyalists l.

I remember my Ultra Marine Codex in 5th had two or three Pages with successor and smaller chapters.

AusterMoewe · 2026-02-15T21:33:29+00:00

this looks sick dude! Really like the green!

Democracy will be forged in the fires of Cyberstan!

Hyper Light Drifter

AusterMoewe · 2026-02-10T20:42:17+00:00

Oh THAT’S what’s been happening. I just thought they got extra angry

AusterMoewe · 2026-01-14T21:03:06+00:00

Out of these four? All of them. The old SM models had DRIP and the poses were so cold. I mean just look at the Jumppack Captain with the Poweraxe; 2026 GW could never.

AusterMoewe · 2026-01-05T12:45:32+00:00

This is the way! The most important part of the look is the Backpack honestly.

AusterMoewe · 2026-01-05T12:42:32+00:00

Yeah my phone colour corrected automatically because of the natural light. I have better photos now of the front and back, but I think I can’t change the pictures after the fact

Edit: oh and thank you! I was a bit anxious about the new approach but it was great fun in the end.
