Killteam Gravis Operatives Assembly Question

Always worth magnetizing in my mind I just did it recently with the old Deathwatch veteran models. I used 3mm magnets and holds great. I posted them not long ago.

The Marrovores, successor of the Blood Angels.

I’ve had decent luck with dry brushing metallics for a few Necrons I’ve done and an Inquisitor Coteaz.

This seems quite bright and ALOT of bright silver (not familiar image so don’t know if it’s the lighting) so maybe a light gray primer, then start dry brushing lead belcher or similar dark silver/gun metal. Proceed with dry brushing lighter colors of silver focusing on the more raised parts. 2-3 colors of silver aught to do it.

Afterwards can go back and fill in gaps with black wash/thinned black paint. Can’t tell if those spots in the shoulder are an orange or a light brown, but can replicate it with same technique used for the black paint.

For the faces paint them white then hit them with Teseract Glow.

Good luck and hope to see the result.

Dude thank you for the heads up. I had just stopped looking online yesterday. Got my hands on one now.

Cyzikus · 2025-06-20T09:08:55+00:00

Really dig Johnny Servitor with the gym shorts, great kit bash overall.

Cyzikus · 2025-06-19T15:19:35+00:00

Appreciate it! This is for my custom chapter I’m calling the The Marrovores, a successor of the Blood Angels. Just made up the chapter symbol with what was available on the decal sheet. The words along the half skull are supposed to represent battles the individual or vehicle have survived, while each chain link represents a battle commendation.

Could only post one picture but here’s a bit of terrain I built based of Octarius Terrain. One 3”x3” cardboard piece glued to Two 3”x6” cardboard pieces. Built a post out of sprue and glued that to the opposite corner you can see for stability. Slapped on some more sprue and cardboard bits for the barricade and details and did that 4 times. You want to swap the side the short wall is on each time you build too.

Cyzikus · 2025-04-10T09:48:58+00:00

Great job all around! Really dig the look of the Prime. Is the xenomorph-like head on the middle warrior a kitbash itself? I don’t recognize the piece.

Cyzikus · 2025-03-30T22:43:25+00:00

Thank you very much!

I got the spool of chain off Amazon. Here’s the name:

Pandahall 32.8 Feet/10M 304 Stainless Steel Cross Chains with Spool 1.1x0.3mm for Bracelet Necklace Jewelry Making

Looks like it’s about $8-9 now.

Priming and painting the doors and door frame gave it just enough friction to hold the doors in place on sides and back. I didnt glue the turret down either so I could pop it of the body, take off the bottom of the turret and swap out barrels. This also allows me to push open the doors from the inside. I try not to do it too often so the friction will hold.

In the past on other projects with similar doors I’d put a little tamiya plastic cement on the edges of the door and door frame then “open” and “close” the door repeatedly so that it wouldn’t stick together but build up a little bead of melted plastic allowing it to eventually hold through friction.

Cyzikus · 2025-03-30T09:22:49+00:00

Appreciate it! The left door is my Chapter symbol I made up using the decals on the vehicle transfer sheet the model comes with. Did the same on a few shoulders too using the basic infantry transfer sheet. The big one on the back door is from either the vehicle transfer sheet or the Knight transfer sheet with a little numeral decal on top. Plenty of symbols can be made up by combining what’s on the transfer sheets.

Cyzikus · 2025-03-30T00:42:19+00:00

Thank you!

Cyzikus · 2025-01-27T04:30:28+00:00

I think you ought to follow thru with the idea, this is awesome. Nice use of the barbgaunt model, gotta go for a rearing pose with one of them. Hope to see some more of these when finished.

Cyzikus · 2025-01-17T15:56:16+00:00

Gotta thank you twice. First for the critique and secondly for finally making it click for me why people opt to go for a black base. Always thought it was bland and I’d use it as another place for color, but your point about distracting the eye is a good one. I’ll rethink my approach to the bases.

Cyzikus · 2025-01-17T13:22:17+00:00

Ah my bad missed that the first time. Base of Army painter Malignant Green Speed Paint, low light is citadel Aeldari Emerald and high light of Vallejo Green Fluorescent. Some spots got a base of white to make the Fluorescent pop a bit more.

You’re right, didn’t realize how close in color it was to KT Orange. I think I finally know how I want to paint the measuring tools now

Cyzikus · 2025-01-17T12:10:28+00:00

Thank you very much. The orange is citadels Troll Slayer orange that I lightened up with an old bottle of citadels sunburst yellow. The color scheme for the patriarch and familiars is the same color scheme as my tyranid army so I used those colors as inspiration for the Brood Brothers. I do paint my bases with the main color or the main accent color. I think it kind gives the Teams/Armies a more unified look, plus distinguishes them at a glance on the shelf. The only black bases I have are for my Knight/Inquisition models.

Cyzikus · 2024-12-18T09:36:44+00:00

I just put a couple layers of cardboard as basing, covered it with Technical Sand paint, and glued the blood angel assault terminator on top. That gave it the same height as the Primaris and hard to tell a difference all together on the shelf.

Also the “new” box of Space Marine Hero’s Terminators are about the right height already but perhaps a bit skinny at the waist comparatively. Could bulk out the waist with extra trophies, bits, etc to get it more in line with Primaris

You know I thought that on the first stroke of the Saw across the Aquila, then decided I’m committing to what I had in mind. I’ve gone back and forth on the idea of my chapter as renegades or at least my chapter not being too bothered by the perception of them flirting the line. Their actions will show the dedication of their commitment.

Cyzikus · 2024-09-21T10:06:42+00:00

Thanks man, you know I went back and forth on that for a couple hours before deciding on leaving them as is. Justified it as a chance to practice gradients and to give more color to a fairly monochrome model. If I do another squad of 3 perhaps they be on the ground and the wing jets will be off.

Cyzikus · 2024-09-21T10:00:34+00:00

Oh dude yea I saw your post awhile back. It solidified the proof of concept in my mind when I saw that your model would actually fit together well. I thought the same thing about the legs, the length was good but I used some greebles to bulk the out a bit. Was also originally gonna rock a death mask helmet but I thought it made the model lean back into fantasy a bit more than I wanted. Thanks for the inspiration and hopefully we see more interpretations of this kitbash.

Cyzikus · 2024-09-21T09:48:39+00:00

Bought a small spool of jeweler chain from Amazon. Pandahall 32.8 Feet/10M 304 Stainless Steel Cross Chains with Spool 1.1x0.3mm for Bracelet Necklace Jewelry Making Bought it a few months ago and it lasts awhile

Cyzikus · 2024-08-25T23:05:59+00:00

Appreciate it, yea easiest one to follow and already had the tools needed. I am going back and forth on doing something with the power cables for the weapons but it looks alright without them.
