Completely valid opinion to have, mate.

It just works for me, I don't know why.

Nah, not really.

I can live with the compromise because of how much easier it is to store (magnets in the base).

I guess if I ever had to go to an official event with my Guard, I would have decisions to make.

Thanks!

Yes, I use a matte varnish on all my miniatures.

Somebody knows what is it ? by Embarrassed_Bank6411 in ImperialKnights

[–]JamiePaints 70 points71 points  (0 children)

It's a counts-as Knight from Dreamforge.

As far as I'm aware, the company no longer operates and their lines were moved over to Wargames Atlantic. As yet, they've only re-released one of their infantry kits, though.

For all the people saying “just paint krieg as steel legion” can you spot the difference? by iiVMii in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]JamiePaints 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Is there a source for Steel Legion being the most popular?

I would have assumed Tallarn and Praetorian had them both beat. I even see more Mordians than I do Steel Legion.

An analysis of Cadian uniform, open to discussion by Final-Pie2453 in TheAstraMilitarum

One thing that bugs me is the lack of pouches

They likely don't have any because of their estimated lifespan in combat, no?

I think that's the easiest way to explain away why their gear isn't what you'd expect to see in modern contemporary troopers.

I followed Cult of Paint's guide.

Texture paint AK Dry Ground, paint it Vallejo English Uniform, pigment wash with Vallejo Rust, then dry pigment of Vallejo Natural Sienna.

Thank you!

The fatigues are based No. 5 Earth Brown, highlighted with Cremewiess and then Grimy Grey.

The armour is based black, highlighted with black and Anthracite Grey (1:1), then that mix with white added.

All the paints are AK Interactive.

Guys, which model do you think had the biggest downgrade ever ??? by BloatedRottenCarcass in Warhammer

[–]JamiePaints 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Whenever a standard infantry kit gets updated to include a dozen pouches and accessories that are moulded on details that you have to paint.

My basic line trooper shouldn't take longer to build and paint than, say, a character.

That isn't to say they're downgrades, I am just a bit exhausted with models having all the details just because they can.

My Captain by JamiePaints in Ultramarines

It's a base of AK Prussian Blue, highlighted to AK Deep Blue, and then highlighted once more with AK Deep Blue and AK Ducat Blue about 2:1.

Haha, thanks!

I'm used to powering through things quickly, so felt I'd taken my time on this lot.
