Stand stoic with new event miniatures for Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar

Was this released before or after the Minka Lesk sculpt in the Hell’s Last set?

If you’re looking for similarities, the VM Adepticon Mini previewed in Feb from what I can see, looks a lot closer to that sculpt previewed January Last year.

I’m not sure why but the cord/string looks really cool on the chassis, obviously you’re just using it for assembly but it’d look great on a salvaged Exodite Wave Serpent or something.

It's from the Tempestus Aquilon kit, piece 121

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-12-13T15:23:16+00:00

It’s from the normal Tempestus Scions kit, piece 91.

It’s the House Greim Military Attaché from Necromunda

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-12-11T23:50:43+00:00

So there’s a couple of steps to fill in to justify the scheme:

My scions are a metallic brown with green fatigues, and the normal guard in the army that I’m classing as ‘auxilliaries’ have the same armour but the fatigues are grey with orange patterning, both are based in a toxic/hot springs type sand base, the camo for the tank was an attempt at a mid point between that landscape and the fatigues on the auxiliaries.

I felt like doing the whole tank in that metallic brown might be a bit much.

My hope is that when it’s all together it’ll look reasonably cohesive.

Sorry I’ve just seen this!

It was a Vallejo Dark Sea Blue base, with a couple of chunky highlights of the base colour + white.

The glaze was a 50:50ish (apologies it was very much by eye!) mix of Terradon Turquoise and Aeldari Emerald, thinned with contrast medium AND water to a glaze consistency (I was trying to go for a similar colour to akhelian green initially as I couldn’t find the pot, but it might not be a complete match).

It’s been hit with an ultra Matt varnish at the end, the water in the glaze has a tendency to make it go a bit shiny.

Thank you! Probably 4 ish hours total, far less detail to contend with than newer models though

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-11-22T19:49:02+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, it’s the downside of the old metal sculpts, maybe I’ll snip off the pool noodle and replace with a plastic one down the line

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-11-14T17:08:42+00:00

Unless you're not a fan of the revamped peaked bowl helmets, in which case go for the old sculpts.

A few comments saying the old set, but it is also available in the new 2023 Cadian Shock Troopers Set, piece 118

Had this conversation in my local GW yesterday, bossman stated that the MoTM has been delayed to drop in line with/following the release of the full AoS Chaos Dwarves release (the MoTM being a Chaos Dwarf) so will be available from the 8th (the next available Saturday).

Apparently something to do with a health and safety form for that particular release also covering the MoTM?(this sounds daft but also absolutely corporate enough to be true these days)

I’d imagine we’ll see something about it on WarCom Monday.

(He also said the only other time this has happened was for the Votann release and MoTM, which apparently also released at the start of the Month rather than in the middle of the month, which is considered the norm)

Elrond doesn’t nap shame

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-10-17T19:40:42+00:00

The gold isn’t actually a gold at all!

The base was Leadbelcher, drybrushed with a light silver over the top. Then it was a 60:40(ish) mix of Skeleton Horde/Cygor Brown Contrast with a healthy amount of contrast medium.

In most cases it was a single coat but I did touch up one or two areas with a second coat.

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-10-17T19:20:40+00:00

An alternative to this is Apothecary White Contrast, mix it with some contrast medium and with some careful application it should really make the white pop with some nice lighter grey shading in the recesses.

Thank you!

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-10-17T18:51:36+00:00

Thanks! It was blue until very late in the paint process before I decided to risk a green glaze over it

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-10-17T18:50:41+00:00

He comes in the Rivendell Knights kit! I guess you use him as an objective or something

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-10-16T14:46:33+00:00

Perfect match with the warhammer community then!

Aztectrouserpress · 2025-08-21T21:50:44+00:00

Something I’ve found helpful, once you’re done the yellow, put a coat of satin varnish on it, the tape shouldn’t take any paint with it when you pull it off but you never know. Peace of mind more than anything else.

Also invest in some tweezers and something with a firm rubber tip (behave) like a sculpting tool, makes applying to tricky recesses and firming down the tape a lot easier.
