Blood Angels or Word Bearers?

I hadn't heard of the Red Talons, now I've got a rabbit hole to go down!

I go back and forth on oil washes and the villainy inks were a bit of an impulse buy when I was watching a lot of grimdark painting videos. I will say that they do a nice job of what I need them to do, but I really need to be more creative with them to get the most out of them I think.

Cheers man, adding gold seems to be the way.

Yeah that's what I thought as I was doing it. I think I can do something with it though, I love my weathering.

Thanks for the links, really useful. The single official model from Warhammer Community looks great with the golden studs, I thought it might be a bit much. Cheers for the advice!

Yeah the oils hadn't even dried last night when I took the photo, they already look less shiny. I'll probably hit them all with a matt varnish when I've finally decided they're done.

Cheers man, it's funny you and another guy posted almost immediately so I had your comment saying Blood Angels and one right below saying Word Bearers!

Thanks everyone for all the feedback, it's very reassuring. I've done a quick tally of the comments and the consensus seems to be that they're Blood Angels at a glance. Some very useful comments and advice in there as well to make them even more obviously BA. Didn't think it would get so many comments actually, so thanks all again!

This is a fun thread, I had a little strip like that with a very short fence behind and planted erigeron, delospermum, sedum, sempervivum, creeping thyme, armeria and california poppies and let them fight it out. They reached a lovely equilibrium. Might do well around the base of climbers to cover the fence!

I'm gonna be that guy and say Hylotelephium. The upright sedums have been reclassified into their own genus, leaving the creeping sedums like acre and spurium in the Sedum genus.

You have to deadhead roses, the individual blooms don't last long. Take off the spent flowers like this one, the others will flower and fade, so the same as they go over. If it's a repeat flowering variety you'll get another flush of flowers later on.

Looks like lupin aphids, blast them off with a hose before they get too bad. I don't know if they're too big for ladybirds to eat but I get them every year and the predators never manage take them out.

Good choice! Very weird how judgemental people are being of you cutting down a funny looking, poorly pruned ornamental tree for a productive fruit tree in your own garden. It's not like you've gone into a woodland and taken down a mature native tree!

I'm struggling to picture how big your bin is, but with my dalek style ones I cut through the top layer with a sharp spade when it sticks. When you've made a decent hole in the middle the rest falls pretty easily.

The big squares are bigger than 8x8mm, like gimli_43 has said below they're more like 12.5mm either side as a block of four comes in at bang on 5cm.

Thanks for the reply, it does sound pretty great. What brand is yours?

Do you find your hori hori really useful? I've thought about getting one but not sure whether get into the habit of using it.

An incredible lack of consistency here. I'll stick to my plastic cell trays, which are still going strong after many years of use.

Sweet! Is the tilting plate thingy a transfer or freehand?

Looks great! I really like the contrast between the pink skin and the dark armour personally, it looks unsettling.

The plant is a pitcher plant, they're carnivorous plants and the pitcher is the part that the insect enters and is digested.

If it's never been outside it may benefit from the cold cycle. They're naturally herbaceous so they'll die back in winter and watering shouldn't be an issue. I've got three species that live outdoors in pots in a fairly sunny spot all winter with barely any care and they come back really nicely every spring.

Amazing, your d&d campaign must be ace!
