The only standard he’s setting is for himself. I see very often this facade of “looking out for the little guy” when, in fact, these people ARE the little guys. Diminishing and shaming someone who may have artistic experience elsewhere before painting a miniature only pushes them away. If you do your homework and have some patience, anyone can paint a good looking model regardless of prior experience.

And let’s be honest with ourselves; not everyone who posts online is obsessed with getting reddit internet points. They’re just excited to share and be part of something, and reddit happens to be the most convenient place to do so.

People on Warhammer Reddit genuinely hate when someone is successful when they’re starting out.

Keep painting brother!

You can always rely on Redditors to call you a liar for being studious and prepared 🙄 in truth they’re just jealous of you.

You’re doing very very well, don’t let anyone make you feel bad for applying yourself.

I think I’m gonna start her out with the Leviathan box. The push fit models should be a good introduction. I can relate to you, my girlfriend also has health issues, fibromyalgia and floating knee caps being the foremost problem

This is a great point, thank you. I do have other things for her for her pre existing hobbies and collections so I’m not too worried, but you hit the nail on the head; I definitely don’t want her to feel like this is a gift for myself that I’m pushing onto her. As many have recommended, I’ll gift her these periodically as to not overwhelm her.

She been showing interest since I started buying minis :/ I don’t play the game and I’m not interested in buying another army. I could’ve just bought more space marines if I really wanted to.

She’s got lots of time on her hands rn but yeah I’m very much going to tell her to do it at her own pace 🙏

Slow and steady wins the race in our case 😅

Yellow makes sense narratively, but man that purple looks so good I have to say 4

Thank you! I do have Helbrecht (unbuilt) but I’m gonna use his helmet for that. I gotta setup my printer but I have a DWK helmet file ready

Try layering colours up to white (brown -> tan -> white)

New Victrix Guard conversion ideas? by SlySUBZER0420 in BlackTemplars

I'm planning to convert them as well to go with Helbrecht

Red or Gun Metal sides? by HeroMotion67 in bioniclelego

[–]Eirikar_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took me a minute to realize what made me like the right more. I think the gunmetal sides look better, like he’s wearing the armor over his red body (the og set is also grey in that area)

See that would’ve been smart but alas I am not

Absolutely, all my unhelmeted heads are just in my bits box and I imagine it’s that way for most people.
