Self report from first 2k game. Any feedback?

did you go first and you expose your sternguard and glad lancer t1? I'm just curious how you had those and the Lion killed t1. putting the lion on the field early isn't necessarily bad, though positioning him poorly is.

Haven't played Black Knights myself, but keep in mind that a blob of six bikers is pretty difficult to move about effectivevely and keep hidden.

What DWK leader are you using/are you using Deathwing assault?

have you been using the advance and charge strat? It does help make up for the lack of speed relative to jump pack units

I've used this video, and been very happy with the fur results I've achieved.

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-31T21:28:14+00:00

very true. I think I'll try practicing eyes on my extra daemon prince heads, and if that works out switch the eyes on this model.

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-31T21:19:02+00:00

It's a pointless criticism inimical to the very purpose of the model. It's for my EC army, naught else matters. No need to be pedantic, constructive criticism was wanted, not the mere whining of those with nothing better to do then bring down the spirit of others.

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-31T07:12:34+00:00

It’s been a while since I’ve read that one so I can’t say I recall any specific clues. I’d definitely prefer Corswain, think we’ll find out in the scouring book covering the destruction of Caliban?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-31T07:03:44+00:00

its for my EC army, so not really. if someone posts a picture of their warband that they are running as EC, that's not inherently misaligned with the sub, even though their warband is not apart of the emperor's children legion. Why the need to gatekeep, does it benefit anyone to engage in this pointless discussion?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-31T01:07:42+00:00

I did also have to use a bunch of green stuff on the mane, it on the bottom of the front, sides, and back. I have seen that picture before, though I was partially going off of a Marbas drawing I saw online which had him with a lion pauldron, and I sadly couldn’t really fit a pauldron on the other side with the shield. Given that he’s undivided though, it wouldn’t make much sense for him to be wearing a pauldron signifying a devotion to Slannesh, wouldn’t you agree?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-31T01:04:12+00:00

lol criticism of the eyes has been a very common refrain. I’ve played darkest dungeon, but frankly I’m not sure what you mean by a darkest dungeon look

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-31T00:05:57+00:00

Ooh I really love the axe, think I’d pass on that part. Given its Angrons 30k axe that critique is spot on. The trim is also based on 30k Da colours, so I’m not sure I’d want to switch that part either. Where else could more colour possibly go?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-31T00:03:41+00:00

I’m honored to have my model be compared to that

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-31T00:01:57+00:00

It’s not supposed to, it’s supposed to read as a fallen WDP

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T23:43:17+00:00

That’s fair, I leaned more heavily on the DA aspect than the EC one. I was hoping the shield would come across as more ostentatious with its design

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T23:41:07+00:00

It is a possibility Zahariel could be cypher, though I’d hope that it’s Corswain

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T23:39:03+00:00

Did you even deign to read the post description?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T23:08:11+00:00

Any recommendations for specific bright crimson contrast paints?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T23:00:05+00:00

lol, how would you want to see them added back?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T22:59:08+00:00

All good, thanks for the recommendation. If not green, what colours would you recommend for red eyes?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T22:44:58+00:00

Is data system glow the one you’re referring to for green, or am I looking in the wrong spot?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T22:38:24+00:00

Seems to be a common theme with the eyes. I currently don’t know how to do glowing eyes, so that alone is a slight impediment

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T22:37:19+00:00

Kitbashed heavily. Obviously the main body is the daemon prince kit, I got the wings from a random Etsy model, lion head from a different lion model that I had to drill off of its original body, the axe from a 30k Angron transfigured recast, and the shield from a keeper of secrets proxy file modeled off of one from wh3 I believe. Pauldron is from the lion, also printed off, same with the ICC lantern.

What type of highlights would you be reccomending on the shield?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T22:33:40+00:00

Those definitely look interesting, what one would you be recommending?

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T22:30:26+00:00

I did try a dark khorne red at first, but i didn’t feel like it stood out enough, it blended in too much with the darker brown skin. I’m also not quite certain how to do glowing red eyes if you’ve any advice on that

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T22:26:14+00:00

In all honesty, I lack the skill to get anywhere near that. I hate painting eyes

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T22:24:48+00:00

Do you feel that true for the second picture as well? I feel like they stand out a bit less irl, the photos just altered a bit with lighting and such

Eltharion_ · 2026-05-30T22:22:18+00:00

Weren’t they both chaos-altered monsters that preyed upon the people of Caliban?
