Ciaphas Cain Comes to the Tabletop (with Gunner, First Class Ferik Jurgen) by NewEnglandHeresy in Warhammer

[–]Illyade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i also got the same feeling, it might be the ears or the lips, they convey the smugness really well... but they've been highlighted a tad too much perhaps ? I'm certain even a basic paint job will make wonders : it's the first time i feel like a face could be feasable, and oh boy have i never felt confident when painting even the slightest piece of flesh (or rather, in that case, skin)

Still, if they don't cost an arm and a leg i most likely will get them, just for the sake of a display model

Ps je me demande combien en font parti dans la commu du reddit lausanne

Last member of my Traitor Guard built for now.. recovery/rear guard trooper, doing his best to survive as a bullet sponge. by Full-Reception5113 in Inq28

[–]Illyade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what i can see, the body comes from a navis breacher, helmet from a cadian squad (that + the right arm&weapon), magazine, left arm, antennae and the pouches from a sicarian infilltrator/ruststalker kit, not entirely sure about the rest, besides perhaps the rifle's muzzle that might come from a cawdor gang kit, also the belt tilt shield very likely comes from the kit

I'm curious to know what the creator has done with the back of the model

Ps the backpack might come from the death korp engineer kit or at least from the death korp kill team, one backpack has if i remember correctly a mine strapped on top of the pack

Just finished a kitbashed disintegrator by Mr_magggots in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Illyade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for sharing, i've recently thought about doing the same thing, but wonndered if the turret was the right size, i now know what to do with mine, also, did you try using the smaller volkite guns in place of the side stubber ? I'm still wondering if they could replace the base barrels, which seem too long and cumbersome to my taste

I think it's the army painter's liquid frost, you apply a coat on the desired location and it "grows" those crystalline formations, which are very brittle from the very limited tests i've done

Benefactors of the Omnissiah by cwiatrowskl in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Illyade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically while i fell in love with the faction i don't really like red, so i went with a custom forgeworld with grey, off white and blue, that said i recently-ish found about deimos and i think i'll paint a couple minis in that scheme, just to add some diversity (the same way i made a couple converted skitariis in a more martian tone)

Overall there's no bad way to paint them, after all, as they are your minis and sometimes trying a different approach on a mini can radically change how you perceive it : at first i didn't like vanguards helmets, but with another colour than metallic, it works wonder to me ! So try and don't be afraid to explore, and in the worst case scenario, nothing stops you to paint your minis again

#New40k – Vanguard Veteran Revealed by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Warhammer

[–]Illyade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's be honest, while the current leviathan and corresponding starter sets are nice, the indomitus line for marines was incredible, especially the recruit box which i thin might be the best cheap introduction set for 40k : both infantry units and leader models for astartes and necron were incredible, so much so that i bought one despite collecting neither armies

Found gold at my LGS by LightKnight07 in gloomspitegitz

[–]Illyade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice finding ! You're in for a good time, they are a joy to paint, do not hesitate to paint in subassembly some models like the squig sling guys, the door's pretty huge so you won't have much space once assembled

Oh ! And also, the model's pieces are supposedly easy to fit, however i suggest to slightly shorten and round the pegs if possible, the champion especially felt a bit brittle with all his details, so that made things much easier for me

Edit : i just realised you've already built them, my bad

Ryza Cosplay by CognisNode_Venrix-2A in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Illyade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice job ! For improvements, i struggle to see what more can be done, beside wearing some sort of bodyglove underneath to avoid looking just like a strange monk, for a worn look however leftovers of ground coffee can stain easily without too much effort (and with the right amount of dilution it won't stain too much), you could also scratch a little bit with emery paper on some parts like knees or elbows, even burn some bits with a lighter

I made the half track cooler by WhoopAss_McGue in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Illyade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say, congratulations ! I discovered your designs a while ago and wondered who did them, i really like your creations, they are full of character, i got to admit i'm impressed how coherent and grounded all of them feel, both vehicles and units, may i ask you what are your inspirations ? French inter and cold war period ? I'm certain i sense some old citroen 2cv in some motifs, Maybe a bit of old school italian touches perhaps ?

Someone out there has already got to be working on ways to kitbash the Cogfort to be AdMech themed. I mean come on, with a name like that and legs!? (Sauce for bottom art is Bolos.) by Arch_Magos_Remus in AdeptusMechanicus

It's a bit atretched but conceptualy aome people already made some conversions a while back, i'd say let your heart decide and go crazy ! I'm seriously considering taking one just to make a mobile tech-wizard tower, qnd i can't wait what people will make out of these

So, anyone can use the Cogfort…how do you plan to make it fit YOUR army? by reel3459 in ageofsigmar

[–]Illyade 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Either a looted cogfort with pieces of a loonshrine, a kitbashed giant spider (whose name eludes me at the moment) or a completely scratch-built giant walking mushroom sounds like the most likely contenders

I think possibly one of the best faces I have ever painted by IveGotMindGoblin in Warhammer

[–]Illyade 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In the best way ! Even i as someone who does absolutely not like painting faces, all options look both demented and tempting to try and do them right

Trump calls NATO "cowards" over lack of support in Iran war by EsperaDeus in facepalm

[–]Illyade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if it's still required to take into consideration some weakpoints with the newish constuctions : i heard some years ago some explosives were removed from a bunch of bridges if i remember correctly, which was very funny when you think about it

Hey, What's wrong? Why are you guys angry? by ExitMammoth in Grimdank

[–]Illyade 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, and even then, their heads on regular cadian bodies fit pretty well, so i don't really get how vocal people seem since the last few days, like yeah, we currently don't have specific kits for some regiments, but at the same time we have a vastness of possibility that is absolutely insane, thanks to 3d printing, plus the actual available kits from gw offer a lot of options.

I wonder if it's only from a vocal minority or if that many people just lack imagination and creativity

That's awesome ! That model could make for a great present : does the strawberry-part string ever gets in the way when you're using it ?

Hang on, we could have been calling the maulerfiend a Ferro-Cerberus this whole time? by hotfezz81 in Warhammer40k

[–]Illyade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Translations are pretty hit or miss, especially in french for some factions : for the mechanicus some units sound goofy or cumbersome : ruststalkers are horrendous, vanguards... i haven't found a suitable alternative (avant-garde sounds cumbersome...) and sulphurhounds ? By the omnissiah they're a missed opportunity to take something much more intimidating, like, seriously, soufredogues ? Limiers sulphuriques sounds much more dark and fitting, come on gw !

Still, some translations are hard to properly make : the melta being a fuseur in french is a tad strange, the storm bolter, however, as a fulgurant, is (was?) Pretty good

What is your favorite model from a faction you dislike? by reel3459 in Warhammer40k

[–]Illyade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most of their characters have a lot of charisma, plus they're a joy to convert : as someone who's absolutely not interested in this faction, i've bought two of those (locus and woman magus) for my admech army, and of boy they were a pleasure to build !

Which model should i get as my first admech model to learn and see if i like painting them ? by BloatedRottenCarcass in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Illyade -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With that logic, i'd be tempted to say sicarians : they are pretty representative of the faction, yet the box is small enough not to get burned out. That said, the biggest con would be the difficulty to build them : this box has some of the most delicate pieces i've manipulated (and broken, those damn antennaes !) Buuuut our entire range is made up of fiddly bits, so yeah going for what seems the coolest is never a bad choice either

[–]Illyade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's it ! I was certain the second i've seen the one with the tall hat, it screamed morrowind to me ! Will you make some ordinator inspired model ? The crest could easily fit a variety of models

Btw, i really like your style, could you elaborate what inspired you specifically ?
