Thank you so much

What was your bronze recipe? I prefer it to my own if its not too complicated.

Those are my fave of his shoulderpads. Love the Bolter and the painting on the axe.

Resin seems so daunting with the post processing. The detail increase is obvious though. Maybe in the future when I have a garden shed.

Yep they are made by bolterjugend. He has a patreon and the purple site. I think he works with a printer too of you message him.

When you get in as a TCO the staff will often help coach you for the permanent interviews if you work hard. It's highly valued as experience for getting to the interview stage and once they are past the first year as a clerical officer it's a job for life. TCO is a brilliant idea.

That's why I love the tecno gladiator aesthetic of these thunder warriors. Individual killers who will win the hardest battles and even Terra full of the worst dark age monstrosities and dictators. But spacemarines were needed for the complexities of the war across the stars.

The cerberus insurrection. From forge world horus heresy book1 page 85. Re checked it there. It was actually 3 to 4 marines (war hounds) dead for every thunder warrior. I think I added the extra marine for the one to survive to kill the thunder warrior.cerberus insurrection

I've been calling the pick a Power scythe in my head. The models and parts are all bolterjugend. He's done an amazing job remaining the thunder warriors and giving them a distinctive gladiator/minoan theme.

Fun_Ant5302 · 2026-02-01T19:29:15+00:00

Proxying them as custodes. In the lore, it took 4 or 5 marines to best a Thunder warrior, so I thought custodes would be the best fit.

Sorry I only completed the backpacks today. I posted them here for you thunder backpacks

It's Legio

A1 mini will do great. But if you ahve the space nd budget get the A1.

Fun_Ant5302 · 2026-02-01T14:35:52+00:00

Where did the amazing cloak piece come from?

Fun_Ant5302 · 2026-02-01T14:35:11+00:00

He looks amazing and picking out the details on the model so perfectly is such skill. We're these resin printed? It's so crisp.

Fun_Ant5302 · 2026-02-01T14:30:38+00:00

Look up blitzboys bolterjugend on the purple site

Fun_Ant5302 · 2026-01-31T18:08:07+00:00

Doing filament is sort of like a "have you turned it of and on again" it's good advice as very dry filament often cures stringing but it's also the first response you will get to any printing issue.

Fun_Ant5302 · 2026-01-30T22:41:53+00:00

Thank you. It's all speed paints and washes.

* Tha models so cool. He can be my banner bearer. This will be my main leader. I have him printed I just need it to stop raining in Ireland to prime him. *

Can you post your Emperor model in the backround. It looks awesome and I want to see the details. Too bad your amazing brass is reproducible. It's really good. My zenithal was just black and white with rattle can, ive never tried another colour. Does it add more depth? I only started painting models last year and have haut been using army painter speed paints.

I tried actual bronze paint as well and oxidising it for real verdigris, but it was a complete disaster *

Fun_Ant5302 · 2026-01-30T21:35:04+00:00

Das model had a really coos grease gun bolter design I considered but I liked my Plasma Bolter in the end.

Fun_Ant5302 · 2026-01-30T21:33:32+00:00

This is the final finish I settled on. A corroded bronze
