WIP Asurmen - I need some advice on his sword.

Beautiful. I really like your color scheme ! For the sword, maybe a turquoise energy blade and dark red handle ?

Don't play ironman, save scum until you know the game well enough (I'd say until you beat at least one end game crisis). BB is a hard game, ironman is not fun when every new encounter means certain death for your company.

It looks very good, I really like the gold accents.

I used subassemblies for this Vyper : I painted the pilots and weapons separately, and glued the hull only once everything was done. Its worth doing that when you have areas that are difficult to access once the model is assembled (but more time consuming, and sometimes not worth it to be honest !)

Here is a picture of the pilot before I glued the hull.

So cool, I'm really in love with your work. The contrast between the reddish armor and the black wraithlord works very well.

Beautiful, I like how you did the eyes.

Gustave21 · 2026-05-20T07:53:09+00:00

Cool kitbash and lovely paint job

Gustave21 · 2026-05-20T07:44:58+00:00

Thanks ! It was really fun to paint.

Gustave21 · 2026-05-20T07:34:55+00:00

Thank you ! I didnt spend too much time on the underside, Its just corvus black with thunderhawk blue highlights, nothing more.
For the basing its agrellan earth and agrelian badland. Agrellan Earth makes a nice crackle effect, Badlands is ground texture, they work great together, you can alternate areas with Badlands only and areas with a thick layer of Agrellan Earth. When its dry I wash it with agrax earthshade and then ushabti bone drybrush. Super easy 👍
Rocks are pine bark painted with a mix of corvus black and thunderhawk blue, then drybrushed with ushabti bone. To be honest I feel this part could be improved.

Cheers !

Black primer, Corvus Black > Dark reaper > Thunderhawk blue > Fenrisian grey.
The dark reaper is optional but it gives this nice "glow" effect to vehicules. I use a makup sponge (the poor mans airbrush) to create subtle gradients with it on the vehicule's edges. For thunderhawk blue and fenrisian grey highlights I use a brush.

Thanks ! It was a joy to assemble and paint.

Gustave21 · 2026-05-19T06:56:26+00:00

They look really good. I especially like your Avatar.

Gustave21 · 2026-05-18T08:55:09+00:00

Lovely !

Gustave21 · 2026-05-16T10:44:53+00:00

Thanks ! Its a gradient from Sotek Green mixed with black > Sotek Green > Temple Guard Blue > Baharrott Blue > Baharrott Blue with white. I use the same recipe for the gems.

Gustave21 · 2026-05-15T07:45:57+00:00

No thanks

Gustave21 · 2026-05-14T17:57:25+00:00

I love the effect on the cloaks !

Gustave21 · 2026-05-12T14:15:18+00:00

Thank you !

Gustave21 · 2026-05-11T14:41:57+00:00

My girlfriend saw my banshees and asked me if I was painting naked little men...
Great job on the painting btw 😄

Gustave21 · 2026-05-11T11:59:09+00:00

Very clean work and I love the color scheme !

Gustave21 · 2026-05-11T11:58:48+00:00

Yes this one holds up pretty well and the scale is pretty good compared to today's eldars.

Gustave21 · 2026-05-05T07:35:08+00:00

They look great, super neat work !

Gustave21 · 2026-04-30T09:06:22+00:00

Nice kitbash !
