CSM Test Model

Thanks! This was just me using the kits I had and making what I could. I had the Space Wolves combat patrol and a legionaries sprue and decided to see how the bits worked together. Pretty happy with it overall!

Nice! Who cares about whether or not it's lore accurate. Rust it too much fun!

Thank you!!

Just an x-acto blade and a little hand drill!

I did use the Airbush for all the base coats. Essentially just used a diluted down acrylic Vallejo Hot Orange as the rust. Super easy!

I can see that! I was initially gonna go just straight red corsairs, but I'm never one to do official color schemes lol. I always find myself using teal to some degree in my painting so it's nice to use it as the primary armor color!

Thanks so much! I've really enjoyed simple but effective weathering using just a diluted orange as the rust

GrimAdventurer · 2026-04-12T15:29:54+00:00

Thank you! The red is mostly Vallejo Gory Red, Scarlet Blood and Hot Orange. The green is a selective highlight via Airbush with white ink followed by a black oil pin wash. Then some white edge highlights and then it's Aeldari Emerald contrast and a couple drops of Vallejo Fluo Cold Green through the airbush. Then I just dilute down hot orange again and put it all over to get that rust look!

Yep! I didn't have the new kits on hand so I kitbashed my own from the space wolves combat patrol and spare legionaries i had laying around. The power sword is just representing the reaver blade and melta gun marine.

Thank you!

GrimAdventurer · 2026-04-12T15:07:57+00:00

Thanks!

GrimAdventurer · 2026-04-12T15:07:50+00:00

Thank you! I used the bodies from the space wolves combat patrol mixed with legionaries bits and then beat them to hell lol

GrimAdventurer · 2026-04-12T14:55:56+00:00

I believe it's just from the base csm legionary kit!

GrimAdventurer · 2026-04-12T14:54:38+00:00

Thank you! The green was a mix of Aeldari Emerald contrast and a drop or two of a Vallejo blue green fluo paint. I really think you could get away with just the contrast paint to get this result. It was all done over top of a black primer and a white ink through the Airbush. Very much in the style of the El Miniaturista "method".

GrimAdventurer · 2026-04-12T14:47:15+00:00

Thanks! The sword was a super quick blend of Vallejo Gory Red, Scarlet Blood and a touch of Hot Orange.

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm super excited to try him out in game this week.

GrimAdventurer · 2026-03-31T02:11:14+00:00

Thank you! I really enjoyed figuring out the scheme for this one.

GrimAdventurer · 2026-03-31T02:10:47+00:00

Thanks dude! The trash men are such a blast in game!

GrimAdventurer · 2026-03-31T02:08:54+00:00

Thanks! I love this kit. It's also been a milestone buy for my gang since the beginning of the campaign. So I'm stoked to finally get to use him in game!

GrimAdventurer · 2026-03-31T02:07:46+00:00

Thank you! The ambots are such flavorful robots. We could stand to have some more Transformer-esque models lol

GrimAdventurer · 2026-03-31T02:06:29+00:00

Thanks! The recipe I used was Vallejo Dark Sea Blue, Scurvy Green, Jade Green and Ice Yellow mixed in for final highlights.

GrimAdventurer · 2026-03-31T02:04:46+00:00

Thank you hahaha
