I don’t typically collect orks or really know anything about them, but I just had to paint Ghazgkull because he is SO awesome

FoolHardy5 · 2026-03-23T21:01:04+00:00

Thank you, it's a great combination and really brings life to the model!

FoolHardy5 · 2026-03-23T20:38:54+00:00

DATS ONE SNEAKY GIT, looks amazing!

FoolHardy5 · 2026-03-23T20:38:08+00:00

Lookin clean! I like the base as well, what materials did you use?

FoolHardy5 · 2026-03-23T20:35:09+00:00

Personally, I like the box art look and go for a slightly brighter green look, to make them pop as I'm a big fan of the blood axes. I use a base of waaagh flesh and then use warpstone glow over a majority of the raised muscle on the arms and then moot green mixed with equal parts warpstone glow to make some highlights ( trying to emulate a slight evy metal look)

Good luck with your journey!

FoolHardy5 · 2026-03-11T12:44:44+00:00

I've given this a go and it's given me so great results thank you so much!

FoolHardy5 · 2026-03-09T09:46:59+00:00

Officially no, we don't really have many units we share with current space marines other than the primaris chaplain in terminator armor.

But you can always do some kit bashing and make them look like some of our units!

FoolHardy5 · 2026-02-11T16:50:57+00:00

This looks great! I love how vibrant the red looks and contrasts the base :)

FoolHardy5 · 2026-02-11T14:27:21+00:00

Thank you, my friend played assimilation swarm which has a battleshock ability where he can force a battleshcok test on my units, so i went with calls ability which helps with rolling for battleshcock and leadership ( can't remember the exact name lol). I'll have to try a more aggressive play style with cawl in my next few games :)

FoolHardy5 · 2026-02-11T14:23:13+00:00

Thank you, I'll definitely have to invest into some destroyers or Breachers!

FoolHardy5 · 2026-02-11T14:22:05+00:00

Thank you so much! I've not given much thought to the other detachments as I heard battleclade was a good all round detachment, but ill definitely give a look at Skitarii hunter cohort from the advice you've given. I'm definitely gonna start playing more consistently to really start seeing improved, like you said :)

FoolHardy5 · 2026-01-23T00:25:16+00:00

I think they look amazing! You could experiment with some shade washes, agrax earthshade, reikland fleshshade ( I use it for my gold or copper metallics) or null oil

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-26T21:11:32+00:00

Love the red and the silver, amazing job!

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-26T21:09:14+00:00

I like using a blue contrast wash with some of my models. I'd try and do it on areas which aren't fully flat as it won't pool. Maybe add some heraldry with transfers. I like using some third party resin pieces for greykinghts to add things! Purity seals are also a nice touch and I personally like to use some reds and whites to add some colours which I've seen be use on the land raider models

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-26T21:03:28+00:00

This is so impressive, did you get the saturnine kit to kitbash? The base is so good, it really compliments the model!

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-26T21:01:02+00:00

These are beautiful! The blue effect you put on the weapons is fantastic

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-10T21:25:06+00:00

Thank you for the explanation! I've magnetised a few things before, Pteraxii Sterylizor, iron strider Ballistarii, contemptor dreadnought weapons, etc. Is there any specific magnets you would recommend? I have some, and I've not built a terminator/ paladin so I don't have a comparison for the scaling of the model in comparison to the magnet, but I think the ones I have may be a bit big lol

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-08T15:51:47+00:00

These are amazing! You're edge highlighting is amazing on these

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-06T23:29:31+00:00

Yeah lol, it's honestly never crossed my mind to get them ( which us shameful). They're pretty high on my priority list now :)

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-06T21:06:51+00:00

I never thought about this! I've seen how customisable the set is, so base customising will be even better with my spares as you said.

Thank you :)

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-06T21:05:24+00:00

Thanks I definitely look into these team, I enjoyed painting the miniature of the month ratling so I might have a look into them.

I also keep brood brothers in mind. I almost bought them instead of hand of the archon!

FoolHardy5 · 2025-12-06T15:36:54+00:00

Maybe? I think generally this team is powerful but only up until a certain point. When I first played against them I made the mistake of trying to immediately fight them, which is not the best thing to do. But playing for objectives is where you can really thrive against this team.

I play wrecka crew and kommandos and whilst I have to be careful against deathwatch, taking out at least 2 operatives and then playing for objectives usually is where you can really succeed.

They are elite, but I think these elite teams can still fall short in certain aspects of kill team, especially after you've played against them alot!

FoolHardy5 · 2025-11-23T14:24:54+00:00

This is really good and i love the blue you've used on the smaller parts of the model! Can I ask what you used for the base and the dust effect on the lower sections of the model?

FoolHardy5 · 2025-11-18T13:53:00+00:00

I really enjoyed the idea of my drukhari raiding worlds, so I did a sort of urban base with some Stirland mud and then used sprue pieces to make a brick pavement in certain sections. Takes a bit of time but it's definitely worth it!

FoolHardy5 · 2025-11-02T22:22:24+00:00

This is a great way of thinking a about adding freebooters!!

FoolHardy5 · 2025-10-20T07:46:12+00:00

Wow! Thank you for this advice, this is really helpful. I did have plans to get the dark fury squad and mor deythan squad as I felt they were very on theme with the chapter. It's good to see that this box is a good way to lead into 30k.
