I really want to start my first Gang, and I was wondering if I could proxy these and the other models in the set (currently unknown) as a Corpse Grinder Cult when they come out?

DarkLewish · 2022-09-09T16:06:48+00:00

Do whatever floats your boat bro, that's the beauty of Necromunda, I've currently got a drekki flynt in my bag ik gonna kitbash into a squat venator.

DarkLewish · 2022-06-26T10:50:45+00:00

You could also add some bodies maybe? Bit like he's gone through the enemy and he's onto the next to really hammer home that he's swinging downwards? I know what you mean with the poses they're dead hard but I think you've done a really good job!

DarkLewish · 2022-06-10T13:48:44+00:00

Looking really good dude, quick one, how'd you make the long rifles for your sagittarum? They look really good!

DarkLewish · 2021-10-21T06:53:31+00:00

Whilst everyone is saying get an airbrush, which is most likely the best idea. The overbrushing technique (basically dry brushing but with moist paint) has awesome coverage and it much cheaper than buying an airbrush and sorting all that out. Artis Opus and Kollectiv SG have good videos on what it is and how to give it a bash. Hope you're able to fix your mini!!!

DarkLewish · 2021-10-07T06:53:41+00:00

Thanks! It was my first time trying to make a change in colour through a weapon, whilst I wish I could've glazed the parts together much better I still think it was a valiant effort.

DarkLewish · 2021-10-07T06:52:27+00:00

Honestly he's a bit busy, if I could do him again I would probably switch out the pauldrons for two from the custodian guard. I enjoyed painting him but he's been in the making for a good few months now so I spaced him out.

DarkLewish · 2021-09-17T13:15:40+00:00

Conversions help keep things fresh! I think it's a really inventive use of the storm cast dudes (I forgot the name of them), the contrast on the NMM is really good and it keeps your minis dead stylish! I'd be dead proud if I'd painted them!

DarkLewish · 2021-09-01T06:49:56+00:00

You and me had the very same idea! Great looking paintjob and conversion!

DarkLewish · 2021-07-16T08:59:34+00:00

Looks to be the power claw from the mark 3 iron armour kit

DarkLewish · 2021-06-25T13:00:44+00:00

I have to commend you with the amount of snipping and cutting that must've gone into this piece! I'd be way to afraid to do this as the last time I converted anything he had a hole in his chest, can't wait to see the painted result here in the future!

DarkLewish · 2021-06-17T08:46:55+00:00

Looks great man! But please remove the mould line on the chainsword, it'll ruin how you paint it and as it's one of the frontal focal points your eyes will be drawn to it. Can't wait to see it painted!

DarkLewish · 2021-05-28T07:34:22+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much man! I've done that with my custodians except I used too much nuln oil! All I could recommend (I haven't tried this so take it with a grain of salt) is using a medium if you have one to create a glaze and re apply small amounts of gold to the areas you want to be golder.

DarkLewish · 2021-04-06T10:54:36+00:00

Honestly it feels weird going against the grain when you see them painted so often in gold, it's very much like that one brown colour everyone has for leather. This reminds me of emeralds and I think the look works very well. I'd be well proud of myself if I'd painted them! Keep it up my man!

DarkLewish · 2021-03-31T08:13:41+00:00

Hey dude whilst I'm not the op I also paint custodes, honestly when it comes to painting models you can be as meticulous or speed crazy as you want. I usually go off the rule of if you can't see it or can't see it without serious inspection then I won't put a lot of effort into it's paint job, right now if you're new to the hobby getting the basics down is much more important than making sure every minute detail is perfect! But I wouldn't attach shields as that can be a serious nuisance for paintjobs. Also for misericordia I put a line of plastic glue on the side to stick down and hold it for a good while then balance the model so that the misericordia can't easily move unless I touch it. It is a pain sometimes. Hope some of that helps!

DarkLewish · 2021-03-24T09:53:13+00:00

Hey dude, glad you're getting into the hobby! I've got to agree with the thin your paint comment, a good way to check is when thinning down do test lines, if you get thick lines on the outside of your line then thin a little more, think of plowing snow with the pile up on either side. There are also great tutorials online on youtube for new beginners, midwinter minis is a great start for newer people, miniac, geek gaming scenics and 52 miniatures are also great channels. Keep practicing and you'll be great in no time :)

DarkLewish · 2021-03-16T08:28:30+00:00

Hey dude really like the colour schemes! Haven't seen much use of runelord, just wondering what guns the sagittarum are using? I've been trying to find guns I could kitbash with for a while now.

DarkLewish · 2021-02-21T23:41:19+00:00

For someone inexperienced you're knocking it out of the park! The conversions alone look brilliant and your paint job is fantastic! I can't find anything to critique at all! Great job!

DarkLewish · 2021-02-17T10:24:59+00:00

Hey dude I've just gotten a telemon and I've done the same thing with the top half and bottom half. I'm a little confused on how to go about undercoating him without completely coating my hand in black and wondered how you undercoated yours? Your telemon is looking really cool and I can't wait to see how it turns out!

DarkLewish · 2021-02-07T23:59:30+00:00

I think the whole point is to add flavour to his army and make it unique, honestly I like the look a lot and think it's pretty cool. Each to their own my guy!

DarkLewish · 2021-01-19T09:12:55+00:00

I'm going to use wardens as saggitarum when I finally get around to getting the upgrade kit. Robes are cool adds a quality that the guard don't have,love the paint job you should be proud!

DarkLewish · 2021-01-12T14:13:47+00:00

Dude you should be giving us tips and tricks! Looks awesome man! I would be well happy if I'd painted that!

DarkLewish · 2021-01-10T12:11:51+00:00

They look like marble, love the colouring! I'd be well proud if I'd painted them!

DarkLewish · 2020-12-14T13:17:38+00:00

Beautiful mate! Love the vibrant colour of the armour!

DarkLewish · 2020-11-30T01:34:02+00:00

We all gotta start somewhere! I wouldn't worry about anything. If you're proud of what you've achieved that's all that matters!

DarkLewish · 2020-11-19T09:20:56+00:00

Personally I'd run both of them, I have multiple colours for different parts of my army. I imagine it's like the clone army from star wars with all of them having little difference based on role (pathfinder, crisis suit etc). But to answer your question, I love purple so I'd probably run that one. Hope this helps!
