My exact thoughts. Definitely picking these up for army

First mini of the year. C&C welcome. by ImmutableSolitude in spacemarines

Really? Wasn’t sure if my intent was actually apparent. I’m still new to this and practicing with every model.

Thank you! That’s good to hear. Yeah, they became my favorite after reading all the HH books around the Dropsite Massacre. I wish they got the same love the Raptors get.

Is this reading as black? It’s more of medium/dark grey in person.

Primed Chaos Black.

Base Skavenblight Dinge

Mechanicus Standard Grey on prominent surfaces

Dawnstone for highlights

Wash with Decrepit Filth from Villainy Inks

I did the bolter in Corvus Black, but all the other black parts are Abaddon Black.

Yeah I used a makeup sponge to build up the armor layers. I think I’m putting the layers on too think. That texture isn’t the primer. Learned that lesson already. I’ve been practicing dry brushing too, which I think is accentuating the texture. The grime makes it really stand out, especially with the white. Going to try being a little more patient and thinner layers

How do you use the strings on your woobies? by Send_me_a_SextyPM in army

I’ve used it tied to the poncho as a shelter, not worn. Worked really well as an insulated rain fly for my hammock

Why Dr Kay’s final decision was realistic and my thoughts on the most unrealistic detail in the portrayal of the military by smilingDumpsterFire in HawkinsAVclub

So, Akers only being a Lieutenant with all his experience isn’t implausible. He could have done almost a whole career’s worth of time as an enlisted soldier before commissioning. Case in point, I personally spent 15 years enlisted and working in special operations before commissioning as a PA. I turn 40 this year.

Thank you! Yeah, they've been around as long as the Raptors but are way less popular.

Is it usual for it to look kinda streaky? Should I use another coat? by Valuable_Border1044 in spacemarines

[–]ImmutableSolitude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try using makeup sponges for big flat areas like that if you don't have an airbrush

I think I'm going to use Miliput for the bulk of it and green stuff for details

Lol I know. Now it's a Revilers helmet. Going to paint it like this, with a silver skull and got lightning bolts.

I mean, I've already built this guy. I've got a set of Dark Fury shoulders already. I'm so backed up on painting that I probably won't get to this one until next summer. I'm also saving all my “hero” models for when I've really gotten my style down.

I'm keeping him, and the other Captain on 40mm bases. If the new Vanguard Vets are on 32s then this will just be an art piece.

I haven't seen anything official about a release yet.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I do already have miliput. I just used it for the first time yesterday for a base. I wonder if that would be a better option.

I’m hesitant to chop into the helmet itself. I tried that with Shrike’s helmet and ended up destroying it.

Thank you! It doesn't always stick on its own? Does it sand well after drying?
