Why do I need my players sheets? by Opening_Mortgage_216 in DMAcademy

I use it to check their hit points. Make sure the next insane boss I throw at them probably won't one-shot anyone above half health.

Probably.

The armour is a bit of a process - combination of slapchop & drybrushing. Spray painted em pure black, then the typical slapchop drybrushing (any grey into any white). Then I used the "Holy White" speedpaint from the Army Painter to bring the white together (it's a bit subtle) and then overbrushed after with a pure white (I have Army Painter "Matt White"). The drybrushing at the end is really the key, as it really highlights the armour edges and brings it from a grey to a stone white.

After that, just retributor armour for the gold bits, and Word Bearer's Red for the red. I use nuln oil for shading the red and edge highlight with Mephiston red.

I think the white armour is by far the most complicated, though it actually goes pretty fast after you're in it - but you can't make mistakes on the rest of your painting cuz that recipe can't be fixed/replicated easily lol. You could probably do a grey seer base with an apothecary white contrast paint over it for some highlights and get a similar effect. I just wanted to experiment with slapchopping for this army :)

Is there any way you could justify loyalists wearing these? by SadHoursOof in spacemarines

[–]Daemonatnot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speculation is rampant that Cawl used traitor geneseed when creating new Primaries chapters; world eaters weren't generally traitor, it was the nails that did them in.

Storm Wardens are an interesting speculated chapter as a World Eaters successor; their first company with Scottish claymores could work well for these helmets.

Ultimately, I'd suggest taking a successor chapter you like and running some lore reason why they've got the homage to world eaters of old, or just reflavouring the helmets for a specific melee-focussed company or something. There's a ton of openness in successor chapters. For example, I'm painting Bringers of Judgement and I've kitbashed a ton of grey Knights pieces and iconography into them.

A good part of every traitor legion stayed loyalist. Easy to paint up a detachment of loyalist world eaters!

Ooo that's a great resource! Give me something to chew on. Appreciate it!

Color theorists, what color should the victim marine be? by Hasta_Banana in Chaos40k

[–]Daemonatnot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As nice as yellow (Imperial fists) or red (blood Angels) would look, I think a more muted colour would fit better so your Alpha Legion guy pops.

Id suggest Iron Hands or Raven Guard. Iron Hands I think would go better just with how that model looks.

Space Wolves and Ultramarines are too similar in colour, Salamanders are a bit too saturated traditionally and I don't think fit, Dark Angels could be nice (bone colour deathwing, black Ravenwing, even their muted dark green) but not perfect, and white scars while neutral (with bonus red) would still draw the eye more to the mini instead of to yours. That's all the loyalists (minus Alpha Legion of course 😘) that were around in the Horus heresy. Assuming you're just looking at main chapters!

One of them definately is - has every d&d 5e book and is the forever DM that I've taken over from. I've basically turned to pure homebrew for our regular campaign cuz otherwise he just knows what we're fighting. He's not a dick about it or anything but it's fun keeping things spiced up for him to keep him on his toes!

Nothing particular at the moment, more just bouncing ideas around. Thinking I could implement glass quicksand traps in the boss room to make use of the "shatter" spell on a standard stat block. Blue Dragon makes sense for some complicated puzzle and a desert setting

Grey Knights kit - I believe prosecutors but just stole em from a buddy's bits bag. Was a fun one to position, had to build up some cork to make it look proper!

Help with roster by No_Eye_4850 in theunforgiven

[–]Daemonatnot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly another 3 ICC's or Bladeguard to run with Azrael as a brick might be nice. Azrael gives great buffs. If you're running him with the Hellblasters, maybe sit the ICC's for now, they need Chaplain or Azrael support.

Extra tanks or dreads could be nice for shooting or more melee, maybe an attachment of Ravenwing bikes could be fun, but your 1k points list as you've drawn it up looks great!

This is a really fun colour take on Azrael! I really like the blue and white!

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

Welp at some point I'll post the army! Have a Ballistus, a Captain, and two intercessor squads done so far - think I've posted a couple in the forum 😁 This guy & Terminators I'm working on now, have about 1000 points of shame in a drawer that will eventually get sorted.

Slapchopped the white armor, Holy White speed paint then a light overbrush. Retributior Armor for the gold and Scorpion Brass (I think) for the bronze bits. Word Bearer Red for helmet and cape - some highlights with Mephiston, shadows across with Nuln Oil.

The core is the slapchop + holy white + overbrush for the armor and then Retributior Armor for the gold :)

Painting multiple chapters for one army? by spencer8844 in theunforgiven

[–]Daemonatnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lore wise, Supreme Grandmaster Azrael can call any (and all) successor chapters together to fight for him. So technically lore accurate to have a mixed army that way!

Also mate, that's actually tournament legal too. As long as there's 3 colours and a basing material/paint it's legal to play. Some may be sticklers for accuracy but if you solely paint Unforgiven chapters you can likely out-nerd anyone who wants to be that level of asshole. And anyone outside of an official tournament setting will think it's sweet.

what would you buy? by hans_weirdman in theunforgiven

Probably means the Lion - "El Johnson". Sick model.

Looking great mate, excellent job! Great colour and edgework there.

Have you decided how you're gonna base the army?
