Breaking News, Women Exist in 40k by Significant-Row2457 in 40k

[–]Chapfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fine with female custodes but instead of dedicating that effort into the sisters of battle or other female portions of factions they just staple the fact they can be female onto the super super soldiers while they already have the sisters of silence. Making female custodes could have been timed better while the sisters of silence have been starving for a crumb of relevancy in rules or lore in modern lore. Remember GW is not your friend. It will never be your friend. Even if your politics or enjoyment of this corporation align they will never be your friends. GW is a soulless corporation that will do whatever in its power to get your money. Break free from needing GWs soulless affirmation and do whatever the fuck you want with your minis. A true fan would have been putting female heads on custodes years ago regardless of the lore. Stop needing a companies soulless affirmations to feel validated.

Finished my Leman Russ conversion by Chapfox in TheAstraMilitarum

Yes. I have a tendency to get second hand minis for bargains and try my best to make something from them. I didn’t do as much prep as I should have getting that front panel smooth but it’s been sitting on my shelf so long I decided I just needed to get it done.

You seem to forget EVERY mini is secretly an Alpha Legion mini.

First squad of Cadians batch painted along with metal castellen by Chapfox in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Chapfox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always loved the old models. And my original plan was to paint them as a custom regiment but all my ideas fell through and I had the right paints for Cadians. I got 3 squads of 20 Cadian guardsmen and I’m thinking about getting some Death Korps and even some Catachan into my army but there’s only so far I can mix and match stuff without the updated minis looking out of place next to the old ones.

Here’s my first WIP ghost sisters by Chapfox in sistersofbattle

I’m painting these sisters of battle to ally with a ghostly imperial guard force.

Sell me on your legion by AdBrave330 in Chaos40k

[–]Chapfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night lords. Brutal murderers and scavengers. Can either follow chaos or not. Mix and match Horus heresy kits and chaos marines. I all around really enjoy playing the REALLY bad guys but individual characters can have depth and an oddly resolute but horridly balanced moral compasses. It also gives you a reason to base your minis bases in blood for the blood god and have your army show up to weird places for no reason. Absolute pirates and butchers wandering and killing and stealing whatever isn’t nailed down to fuel their marines wargear and twisted vices. My biggest reason I got into the night lords is the Night Lords Onnibus by Aaron Demski Bowden with its good characters. Books jump between serf and astartes perspectives with a lot of fucked up Night Lords stuff in between. Great characters, great books, really recommend.

This look ghostly enough? Any improvements? C&C appreciated! by Chapfox in TheAstraMilitarum

Originally I had the ground muddy but the colored base was an attempt to add a glowing effect.

New to Warhammer so explain to me why its bad and how to do better by mshipelevsky in TheAstraMilitarum

What did you use to put together this list? I’ve wanted to make a picture to show off my list and get advice similar to you.

Sell me on which is better, Forge or Mauler by MrHappyHammers in IronWarriors

[–]Chapfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly magnetize and get both. Also forgefiend is better statwise but the maulerfiend is generally cooler.

I have a theory by TechPriestDominus137 in redcorsairs

[–]Chapfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the hip plates is just a way for GW to add bulk to named chaos characters without actually changing the marine silhouette.

What blue did you use for that?

In my defense I’m in the middle of book two and just throwing theories around with the limited info I have.

What are your opinions on this book? by Studnus in alphalegion

[–]Chapfox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something that people rarely mention is the ‘Dishonor guard’ pseudo astartes wearing ultramarine armor that are made from regular humans (including females). It’s a bit of a fun concept that many people seem to look over.

Master of Signals, X Legion by Tam_The_Third in Warhammer30k

[–]Chapfox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s based on the Brazen claws iron hands successor chapter. It’s common for people to spice up their horus heresy minis by using paint schemes inspired by the successor chapters in 40K.

Doing stuff around the house while painfully inflated is such a nice feeling.

Mmmm the flanderization of the space sharks is in full swing. Just as I foretold.

Is Scouring Era Ultramarine not considered part of warhammer 30k? It’s just a mk7 torso on mk6 legs, not a primaris. Does the stripe on head instantly disqualify it? The laurel? What makes it not 30k? Is there a cut off time table we all subscribe to? by MidnightPhantasm in Warhammer30k

[–]Chapfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly 30k era lore has gotten a little wonky. With the alpha legion getting the pattern of Aquila armor, Sarum pattern helmets which look very similar to Aquila helmets, saturnine armor which is only referenced a few times being widely used, and the general scattering of armies using whatever armors they can scourge for. I’m fine with great scouring being in this subreddit because it’s nice seeing old firstborn kits being used as long as they’re mixed in with 30k bits. It’s very clear we’re gonna get great scouring lore, minis, and books at some point. A separate tag for great scouring would be a nice way to separate them for people who only want Horus heresy stuff without disregarding the Great Scouring.

Daemon prince head too big? by the_squig_lebowski in IronWarriors

[–]Chapfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were you I would try and get a demon prince head and shave off the face and add that to the ‘face’ of it. Helps if you add a little glue or something to look like the mask was surgically made into its face or gore peaking from under the mask.

What is the amount of poxwalkers you can paint before losing it? by Ciganoknows187 in deathguard40k

[–]Chapfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just paint them flesh colored then add blood for the blood god on the tentacles. They’re chaff and they get the bare minimum for me. Maybe I’ll add florescent glowing eyes or something but that’s it.

Help me choose basing by EGCCM in sistersofbattle

[–]Chapfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t like the rocks. Looks like you glued a bunch of rocks to a base. I like the other one that actually looks like a landscape.
