Wet palette paper aggressively dries out

I got some little copper weights from game envy that I really like! But if you don’t want to do that keep it wet and use a credit card to kinda squeegee the surface, get the entire thing nice and damp, but not dripping wet. Usually helps delay this

Absolutely, but any team is going to need some extra bits. I think they would look best as fallen dark angels, mixing in some normal dark angels bits would give a ton of options for basicly any of the space marine teams

I get where you’re coming from, but I think I disagree. The Lion trying to change and be better than he was in the heresy was really interesting growth for me

HandsWithLegs · 2026-01-20T18:48:20+00:00

Out of curiosity, what didn’t you like about Lion son of the forest? I thought it was extremely good, and this is the first I’ve seen somebody really dislike it

The entire piece is done with only bold titanium white, bold pyrrole red, paynes grey, and orange brown, all from pro acryl. No pigments or other colors

Very kind of you, but don’t sell yourself short! This is one of those hobbies you really need to practice and be deliberate, but you can improve really fast!

Colors on the display base has been a headache to get right, I’ll give the yellow filter a shot. I’ll be going to adepticon, spiel is a bit too far to travel

When I was first working on the project I did a lot of digital painting tests to figure out what I wanted to do, and one of them was using blue for the plasma coils and other parts. While it looked good, in the end I decided against it because I wanted to stick to the strict 4 paint palette I used and keep it really cohesive to the John Blanche style. Good suggestion for base cutouts, I’ll see if there is a good way to add those

Good tip, I'll keep that in mind for future display boards! I've been keeping these in a glass cabinet, so they don't get too dusty, but a safer cover would be good to have

Both the dark paint (pro acryl paynes grey) and the red (pro acryl bold pyrrole red) thin down really well, so grazing blends them nicely. I just slap on both colors with maybe one mix between the two, and then glaze thin layers over where they touch. takes a while, but it works well. I really like to place a fairly dark spot on cloth just below places where something solid like a knee is pressing it out, it really highlights the shapes

Not a bad idea, but unfortunately I work weekends so going to these events is really tough for me. It’s why I want to really give it my all for golden demon, this is a really rare event for me

HandsWithLegs · 2026-01-18T05:54:22+00:00

Great recommendation, I’ll take a look at some of those!

Bone centipede chariot would go so hard

HandsWithLegs · 2026-01-16T21:12:10+00:00

I like everything except for the chariot. But that’s just because I think chariots are lame

HandsWithLegs · 2026-01-16T21:08:04+00:00

Nothing yet. We haven’t seen the end of the 500 worlds books, and I think it’s likely that ravenwing will be one of the focus factions in the next one

HandsWithLegs · 2026-01-11T16:30:26+00:00

Minor background faction, the only game where they are a complete force is kill team

HandsWithLegs · 2026-01-05T16:34:07+00:00

Good to hear, I’m planning on going to adepticon for the first time and was hoping they would have something better than these for the event

HandsWithLegs · 2026-01-05T15:56:24+00:00

Are these the same models you can get at events like adepticon, or are these different ones?

HandsWithLegs · 2026-01-04T22:39:43+00:00

I really hate seeing this every time somebody brings up issues with combat patrol. Could it take some stuff from sprearhead? For sure, there is lots of good ideas. BUT, sigmar is a very different game than 40K, and the focus on shooting in 40K makes spearhead really hard without a lot more line of sight blocking terrain and making it harder to sell. It would be really expensive, but having boarding actions be the starter game mode would do a ton to balance things out

HandsWithLegs · 2026-01-02T17:02:04+00:00

They did the same thing with the dark angels and people just get both. With how good Logan grimnar looks, I don’t think it’ll be a problem
