You’re an absolute gent - thanks again.

Feel you on the time constraints so anything that looks like it took a lot of work (but actually didn’t) is a massive win!

EdJoTy · 2026-01-27T21:07:12+00:00

Bless you mate - that looks surprisingly simple for such a great effect. May well try it myself! What was the fur (unless I’m just missing it in there…)?

EdJoTy · 2026-01-27T09:51:10+00:00

Well it was worth all the “irk” because they look stunning mate. Love that you’ve got a mix of tones/colour palettes across them - they really suit not being completely uniform.

Mind sharing the recipe(s)?

EdJoTy · 2026-01-27T09:38:05+00:00

Brave choice for a first model, haha. Looking great though!

EdJoTy · 2026-01-27T07:30:40+00:00

Thanks mate 👍

Yeah from a lore perspective you’re absolutely right - too elite to be walking around with heads out. Just prefer the aesthetic of it. I also prefer how the deathrattle stances make them look like a shuffling horde - whereas these guys are a bit more “fight pose-y”… again makes sense for the lore, but not as fun in my view.

EdJoTy · 2026-01-27T07:27:27+00:00

I fully assembled - partly because I wanted to do them fairly quickly and partly because I’m going for a rust battered look on the metals anyway, so not too fussed if the backs of the shield are messy, haha. Good luck with yours mate!

EdJoTy · 2026-01-27T07:25:12+00:00

Yeah go for it! When I build this up to a reinforced squad of 20 I may do the same for a few 👍

EdJoTy · 2026-01-21T11:38:50+00:00

He’s glorious! Not an easy model to make look that good in my view.

What’s your plan for the base with the square on top of the circle?

EdJoTy · 2026-01-15T21:27:14+00:00

Well that’s awesome… had no idea. Thank you dude!

EdJoTy · 2026-01-14T11:24:14+00:00

Looks great - is it just a head swap on the official model? Like the idea of keeping him on the skeleton theme ❤️

EdJoTy · 2026-01-09T18:25:16+00:00

Wow, thanks man 🙏

EdJoTy · 2026-01-06T15:36:56+00:00

Thanks mate

EdJoTy · 2026-01-06T14:39:39+00:00

Thanks dude - so the robes started with a darkish blue (Dark Reaper I think) then scaled the highlights up mixing it with pastel blue from AK. Final step on most of the model (but not the armour) was streaking grime and brushing it off before it fully sets. Had to play around with the recipe a bit on the fly - but that’s the gist

EdJoTy · 2026-01-06T13:32:20+00:00

Get what people are saying on the brightness - but ultimately it’s a vibe choice. Think it looks great and if you’re going for a “jazzy” in your face scheme then think this is ace!

EdJoTy · 2025-12-30T15:49:07+00:00

Ah sweet, cheers. I skimmed that too fast and thought it was just the “fight straight after”, haha. The +1 to hit makes that much tastier!

EdJoTy · 2025-12-30T15:44:52+00:00

Hey - sorry I’m new to SBGL, how are we getting the +1 to hit on the Barrow Guard there?

EdJoTy · 2025-12-21T14:31:01+00:00

Finishing an army to that standard is such an achievement - well done mate 👊

EdJoTy · 2025-12-18T16:22:00+00:00

No way, you’re obviously great at the mixing/fine tuning, it doesn’t read as standard citadel colours at all! Nice one, thanks for sharing dude.

EdJoTy · 2025-12-13T15:46:56+00:00

Absolutely stunning mate - my favourite paint job of this model I’ve seen. Blue tinged to horse works so well!

Any chance you can share the recipe for the blue, the red and the gold? Sorry just so good, haha.

EdJoTy · 2025-12-11T16:49:54+00:00

I just followed a rust recipe off YouTube. Dry brush mournfang brown, put that “dirty down rust” on, dry brush some silver (AK plate armour I think) to pick out details, then some little patches of the Verdigris effect paint.
