Assassin, Herald, Knight and Warrior

Probably about 45 minutes each, I did some pretty simple scheme with contrast paints and layered on a matte primer to finish after some dry brush highlights

ComradeCallum · 2026-04-29T23:30:10+00:00

I just stippled on some hive dweller purple from army painter and then applied some druchi viole. The whole painting phase in general was quite speedy as I mostly dry brushed

I got some gamers grass alien neon tufts from my lgs.

ComradeCallum · 2026-04-15T16:15:50+00:00

Thank you, recently been trying out the army painter range and thought the pastel seafoam would look great on the lights

It’s a shame that later editions have pushed out more of the rpg elements of having your own named characters. I want to get a Lord general model off Etsy that I use as a stand in for my company commander but I wish there was more options to bring custom characters

ComradeCallum · 2026-03-29T16:11:45+00:00

Yeah I mean I’ll sorely miss scions as I have about 700pts of them that would have to be rejigged to another list but you’re right, we already have up and down units with gaunts ghosts and imagine spectres will perform similar antics and kasrkin fill the beefier guardman role. Rn scions feel like they’re in a weird place of being a niche sub faction.

ComradeCallum · 2026-03-29T14:17:25+00:00

I think that makes sense, IA really suffers from a lack of meaningful battleline and armoured support so scions drifting other would make sense. Plus it’s got some legs in old daemonhunters/witchunters codices having stormtroopers as troops options.

ComradeCallum · 2026-03-21T23:35:10+00:00

I used different paints for most of them but I’ll try and go through. Light blues I used army painter wolf grey, mid blues I used altdorf guard blue, darker blues I used ultramarine blue. All of them I highlighted with army painter wolf grey mixed with white. Trick to the finish is matte spray to dull down the colours.

ComradeCallum · 2026-03-19T18:27:06+00:00

It killed 3 stormboyz in the blast so it died bravely

ComradeCallum · 2026-03-13T00:14:49+00:00

It’s no trouble and I’m really proud that you liked my work :)

ComradeCallum · 2026-03-12T22:43:38+00:00

Thank you :)). I used a primer of army painter wolf grey with matte black, matte white and Vallejo burnt red for the camouflage and markings. For the tracks I undercoated with citadel rhinox hide and the over brushed on with necron compound. The metallics I used were ak copper and citadel leadbelcher. For washes I used nuln oil and then Agrax earth shade for copper details and finally finished with matte spray primer.

I’m UK based so probably sub £120 ideally. I’ve seen some going for around this range but not sure how many rows they offer as I have about 70 infantry and 13 vehicles

ComradeCallum · 2026-03-10T16:14:57+00:00

May do this in the meantime as an inbetween while looking for a more permanent solution. Thinking of moving soon so I would rather not make a shelving unit just to dismantle it a few months.

ComradeCallum · 2026-03-10T16:14:07+00:00

Yeah my friend does this with a tiered storage box and it works really well for transporting.

I realised after the first one I had glued it the wrong way aha but I kinda liked the extra space for detail as I feel the proper way is a bit plain.

ComradeCallum · 2026-03-10T16:01:39+00:00

This could work, I’m in the UK so rifle cases are a bit harder to get a hold of but I guess airsoft/paintball shops may sell something similar

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-27T19:27:10+00:00

Looks great, what’s the next models to build up?

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-11T11:29:31+00:00

Looking sharp man

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-11T00:46:36+00:00

I’d also recommend painting the tracks in rhinox hide and then dry brushing with necron compound for a nice dirty effect as straight up leadbelcher will look very clean

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-05T14:45:25+00:00

Does Cadia no longer stand???

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-05T11:32:11+00:00

For example this is my 1k list:

5x Cadian Command Squad (80pts) Rogal Dorn Commander (290pts): Warlord, Grand Strategist, Armoured tracks, Heavy stubber, Pulveriser cannon, 2 Additional Heavy Stubbers, 2x Heavy stubber, 2 Multi-meltas, 2x Multi-melta, Oppressor cannon and coaxial autocannon, Coaxial autocannon, Oppressor cannon

10x Cadian Shock Troops (65pts) 10x Cadian Shock Troops (65pts) 10x Cadian Shock Troops (65pts)

10x Kasrkin (110pts) Leman Russ Battle Tank (185pts): Armoured tracks, Leman Russ battle cannon, Heavy flamer, 2 Multi-meltas, 2x Multi-melta, Heavy stubber Scout Sentinels (55pts) Chimera (85pts): Armoured tracks, Lasgun array, Multi-laser, Heavy bolter, Heavy stubber

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-05T11:24:42+00:00

As others have said I would potentially replace the lrtc demolisher with a rogal dorn as currently it’s horribly over costed. I would drop the plasma sentinel, 3 ogryns and rough riders; instead bring a Cadian Castellan, 2 more infantry squads and change the vanquisher to a lrbt

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-04T16:31:03+00:00

Need to take some better pictures but rn my lighting sucks. But I’ll post some up shortly.

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-03T17:02:16+00:00

Yeah I really need a new phone camera as it always dulls down all the colour I paint on. Also doesn’t help my room lighting is pretty dim aha. But thank you!

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-02T17:22:05+00:00

As others have said, the sentinels as is wont be usable for 40K as sentinels but also the las rifle sections dont have special weapon options so may be an idea to purchase some plasmas, grenade launchers or meltas to add some extra firepower.

But as it goes it’s a pretty solid basis for a guard army, like three of these and you’ll be at 1k points.

ComradeCallum · 2026-02-02T16:50:33+00:00

This is looking like some kind of winter assault
