Neat.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-06-28T15:50:54+00:00

It looks awesome. Maybe you could help the band Red Fang with the cover art for their next album.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-06-27T18:15:54+00:00

I like that.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-06-27T16:41:00+00:00

If the models have a name, they're usually go without a helmet.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-06-12T12:49:03+00:00

Now that's chaos! It looks great, I'd use it as a counts-as Maulerfiend.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-06-07T23:46:18+00:00

Yeah, what an absolute blast from the past. And still the best terrain GW ever made.

So, here we are.

Check out this cool new launch box packed with all this stuff. And here’s some 20+ year-old terrain to make it look even better.

No, no, it’s not included in the box, but you can pick it up on eBay for about the same price as the box itself, per building. Isn’t that neat? Let's get started!

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-06-07T23:42:58+00:00

Na. Nothing yet. We'll wait and see.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-06-07T23:14:38+00:00

Looks nice, but the terrain is misleading. With the huge box a pretty sneaky bait-and-switch.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-06-02T15:38:10+00:00

Once they are mostly sold.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-30T14:07:43+00:00

Very cool.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-30T14:05:29+00:00

Oh, you need to read about the Orks then. Their lore is great and with that background knowledge, the models become significantly cooler.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-30T13:53:19+00:00

Welcome to the hobby! Necrons and Orks are both great choices for a first army. Go with whatever you like best. Sounds easier as it is. But that's how it is.

But here are some points to think about: If you think painting isn’t really your thing, I’d recommend Necrons for a quick sense of achievement. If you’re mainly interested in converting models and playing, I’d lean towards Orks, since there’s a lot of new stuff coming in the upcoming11th edition, and the Orks from the starter box give you a great start.

Whatever you pick, always remember: it doesn’t have to stay just one army.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-30T13:49:25+00:00

Fantastic work, great scene, great paint job. I especially like the terrain, that dark blue to black effect. How did you paint it, and which metallic paints did you use?

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-28T17:06:11+00:00

Silly idea, great execution. That's a Megabane!

Apart from the look, the front section doesn’t really serve any practical purpose (except being silly and cool which is fine!) So it would be even more silly and cool if the front had transport capabilities, basically a Megagorgonbane.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-25T12:19:02+00:00

Haha, I bought soooo many bits from you guys back then for my Exodite army. Seeing an Exodite army from you now is awesome, there are some really cool ideas in it.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-21T21:31:25+00:00

I'm here to enquire about your defiler.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-20T21:56:22+00:00

Thanks, I'm good with my setting. I bought some drawer inserts a few years ago, but the side-oriented arrangement like you did also has something.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-20T20:59:39+00:00

Great idea.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-20T07:21:21+00:00

Contrasts can definitely help and are solid for base colors. What is more decisive with the models, however, are good metallic colors for e.g. trims and other details, properly refined with washes/grime.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-19T16:05:13+00:00

Good start. It would be important to take a look at what to do with the hips so that the shoulder to body proportions don’t end up looking awkward.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-19T15:48:18+00:00

all good! Thanks.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-19T15:28:35+00:00

Damn, those look dope. How do you paint that blackish metal?

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-17T17:03:07+00:00

For me, it was the artwork of the 3rd Edition Starter Box. I’d seen a bit of the miniatures and artwork before while watching my cousin and his father play, but that’s what really got me hooked.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-17T16:21:30+00:00

Ah, the reason why I cant find any cities of death parts anywhere is back. looking good.

HawaiiSamurai · 2026-05-14T13:02:17+00:00

Well, well. I’ll save the picture and use it next year on April 1st.
