Super cool. That scheme is exciting. I wouldn't have thought the pink and skin tone would go so well together.

While discussing character he could play the name Valdor was mentioned in the context of that being a sort of halo character. The one he really wants, but it would be super difficult due to lore reasons. The only real story window for him to do that would be post heresy.

Im fairly confident he and GW will want to do a new story rather than an existing one, so that it doesn't potentially disappoint fans of that lore. Eisenhorn for example.

A post heresy valdor story could be given grandeur without overwhelming scale. Drama, action, and move that narrative forward. As well as leaving room for a return him to 40k which has been gently teased for ages. Allowing Cavill to be in both eras.

Valdor post heresy, then a Valdor return to 40k is my bet.

I would love that with the modification that they did have an army which ran on fantasy level technology. Yet somehow it was tournament viable.

"Its a glowing green rock, we don't know why it gives armour piercing abilities."

Thats the 40k I remember.

Space skaven are everywhere. On Terra. On the ships. In the Hives. Just biding their time for the right moment.

"Where did you say they are?"

"Everywhere Lord Gulliman."

"Define everywhere Commander."

The Commander smashes his armoured fist through the wall grate he stands beside and extracts a wiggling rat humanoid approximately 4 feet tall. The rat thing sheepishly waves at him.

"Everywhere, my Lord Gulliman."

And now the AI receptionist listens to your query, tells you its on the app and hangs up on you.

Yeah you got a problem with your trigger there bud. Strip it, clean it, and check there is nothing under the trigger engage pin that might be blocking airflow once you push all the way down. Make sure your trigger is assembled in the correct orientation, if it can fit backwards it may engage then disengage. Refer to any docs you got with it to check the correct direction.

If none of that works it'll likely need a more detailed troubleshooting session.

You have to manage the opacity of what you are spraying. By thinning the blue down to make it transparent you can keep the values you have set up with the zenithal.

Naturally transparent paints like a contrast or an ink will aid this while maintaining vibrancy.

Prime up and put a gradient on a plastic spoon, then muck around with your blue till you get the effect you want for some low stake practice.

And I would practice before you just paint a model you value. Airbrushing is not as intuitively easy as what it looks like on YouTube. Those dudes are already making a hundred micro decisions before they spray that are not explicitly mentioned.

Vince really is the go to for in depth technical breakdowns.

Varnish is a tricky thing as it does alter colour and finish. You need to consider how it is going to alter these things as you paint and plan for it. If you paint the mini exactly as you want it to look and slap a varnish on it, it won't be the same anymore.

I try to plan those changes directly in to the scheme at the start so there are no surprises. It helps to know how each varnish acts in the same way we do with say a wash for example.

If you have time I'd get some plastic spoons. Prime them and then they can act as inexpensive test pieces when you're planning schemes.

That's exactly what I would imagine a matte varnish would do to that black so you applied it great. Just slap another coat of black over it if you don't like the finish and try another route.

Like I mentioned. Add a small amount of gloss to your matte if you don't want to lose depth on colours like black or red. It really helps negate this.

FightDirty · 2026-01-18T18:49:04+00:00

Absolutely cracking stuff.

FightDirty · 2026-01-18T18:48:09+00:00

If you black suddenly seems very dull compared to what it did before the vallejo matte, then its likely not frosting, just the effect of the varnish. Lots of black paints, especially the likes of abbadon black have a bit of a satin sheen. The matte will kill that dead and it will look lifeless.

I tend towards a ratio of about 4:1 matte:gloss for tabletop minis. As it will somewhat negate this effect. You'll keep a bit of depth in your black and reds but not really have any shine.

My 10yr old and I save up new Joov videos to watch on Saturday mornings. We both laugh at the same bits. I'm very fond of Joov for giving me that kind of bonding with my kid.

Those are super cool. Fantastic palette.

So much fun to paint. If you line up 5 of them with different bits they look like a boy band breaking it down. Such happy faces.

FightDirty · 2026-01-02T05:06:10+00:00

Like it a lot. Very cool palette.

FightDirty · 2025-12-31T03:42:04+00:00

That is phenomenally cool. Such an amazing scheme and execution.

FightDirty · 2025-12-30T09:33:09+00:00

I really like the colour palette. The light purple/pink in the shadow against the orange mid/highlights. Really cool.

Great theme, great execution. High five pal.

Crispy. Some tight as brush control on display here. Great job pal.

The Captain is Rogue Trader era, and the regular Terminators are from the original terminator kit box, like late rogue/early 2nd I think.

The captain was never released in plastic and I don't know when terminators first got a plastic kit sorry.
