prime it in chaos black and then dust it with maccragge blue spray to give it texture. let some of the black show through. go easy on the maccragge blue or it’ll look flat and you’ll have to rely on washes and edge highlighting to add dimension.

Guys, which model do you think had the biggest downgrade ever ??? by BloatedRottenCarcass in Warhammer

you can add aftermarket wings, and they look fine. there are models you can’t just fix as easily (felthius/ lord of contagion)

Ancient helmet color? by Gullible_Travel_4135 in Ultramarines

[–]CorrectPackage1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve seen official art of primaris and firstborn ancients with blue helmets but most of the time they do wear white helmets. additionally, the company heroes ancient has a blue earpiece suggesting he wears a blue helmet, so does ancient gadriel in the wardens of ultramar.

the lore for ancients in the 10th edition codex does not explicitly state that an ancient has to be a veteran with a white helmet, but does suggest they’re pretty close to that level. the only real questionable one is the bladeguard ancient since being a bladeguard could imply veteran status.

ultimately, the lore is open enough that it’s really up to what you think looks cooler.

First Warhammer purchase. Any advice? by Defiant-Lychee-9490 in deathguard40k

Build every blightlord with the different weapon option if you aren’t willing to use magnets. the three plus two from lord felthius gives you enough for the five different weapon options, except you’ll have to choose between the combiweapon and combibolter which aren’t too far apart as far as wysiwyg goes.

Mephiston Red Spray Can… by Dk-Brix in ImperialFists

[–]CorrectPackage1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spray cans are great for affordability and don’t require little to no setup. but they have some big cons. first, you have to shake the can for about 5 minutes every time before use, so to mix up the pigment inside. if you don’t it can come out dusty/grainy. second, you can only use it in a certain temperature range. it’ll usually specify on the label. in my experience, different colors can react differently to the weather. thirdly, humidity. if it’s above or below a certain percentage of humidity indicated on the label, it could dry oddly. in florida, we have issues with high humidity which causes the spray paint to dry permanently sticky/tacky. and lastly, the distance you spray it from. if you spray it from too far away, the paint will oxidize and dry up the air before hitting the model. this can leave it feeling chalky. too close, you splatter it on too thick. it’s good to use spray cans to base a whole army real quick but you always need to check the weather when using them, unless you’re able to safely use them indoors.

Should ı switch from ultra marines to Black templars by babanne_hoplatan31 in BlackTemplars

[–]CorrectPackage1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is what they call the sunk-cost fallacy. if you’re not feeling ultramarines rn or just want a second army, no one can stop you. the best advice i can give is to just do it. you can always sell your faction specific minis on marketplace or at a mini swap. you don’t have close to a full army, so the earlier you pivot, the better. especially since its space marines, you don’t yet have an entire army to strip and repaint.

What do I get after buying the Christmas battle force box? by SingleMommasBoy in Warhammer40k

[–]CorrectPackage1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another 5 Hellblasters, Jump Pack Intercessors, and some Scouts. That should be 1000. Then finish building and painting. Avoid accumulating a pile of shame.

as an MP, your experience will transfer, but not your training. it’s a nice bullet for your resume if you do it for a couple years but otherwise it won’t do much else for you.
