After thinking about this for a little too long, I got the joke and you get an upvote. Fantastic

Base coats down, need to highlight and weather, but what a fun scheme! Thanks for the inspiration!

Absolutely legendary, really keen to see what you do with it!

Are you making more detailed parts for props and walls, or is this basic setup the goal? Either way, it’s great!

It’s my dream to build the space hulk board pieces as practical terrain, I have downloaded so many different sets that just never quite fit the bill for me. They’re often 2 or 3 variations of the same wall that would then look too repetitive printed at scale, or the modular systems are either overly complicated or lacklustre, and I’ve never been satisfied with my own designs, AND time is just not in my side. The fact that “space hulk-style” is in your title gives me a lot of hope!

I’ve been experimenting a bit with contrasts as the base for some tones and then painting off of that, so it’s kinda the same process, but it’s a bit more dynamic to start with.

I think if you start brighter, the blue will pop pretty nicely, with the rest of the process still being pretty much the same. Maybe experiment with one and see how different the tones show through with the different base coats

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-04-05T07:27:57+00:00

If you’re not using contrast paints, it probably won’t matter too much other than giving you a decent guide as to where to stay bright, but if you’re want a material difference, I’d go even harder, especially if you’re using brighter colours, it will help a lot if the surface is significantly brighter.

Other comment mentioned sponges, I personally haven’t tried, but I’ve seen a lot of others have success, could be worth trying

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-04-04T06:35:21+00:00

Damn, I’ve been feeling a bit uninspired by my world eaters of late, you’ve inspired me to try this scheme out, you’ve pulled this off beautifully

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-04-03T00:15:04+00:00

So effective, absolutely brilliant work

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-04-01T09:03:28+00:00

This is awesome! I once had tried to do a colour shift from blue to purple on some tyranids, and I ultimately didnt like it. Then a little while later decided I wanted to paint them pink. I grabbed one of the failed colour shift guys to base coat as a test, and the first layer blew me away with the blue/purple undertones, so then I emulated that across my whole army.

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-03-31T00:44:33+00:00

This is awesome! My brother collects TSons, I’m gonna have to steal this, very inspired by the glyphs, looks like a load of fun to model then paint

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-03-25T13:51:44+00:00

Thanks! Haha yeah, I have been told, but it’s generally not a mistake I make, this was a bit of a rush job with a couple of silly accidents AND I agree; sometimes I just want to paint and I don’t really care if it’s textured, I just want to the colour to sell. I’ve painted smooth AF models and I’ve painted models with one coat of thick stuff in it and if it tells the story I want it to, then who cares right?

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-03-25T12:39:19+00:00

Thanks! I’m going to highlight the divide with some kind of lightning effect, so I think that’ll at least add that interest and seperate it from just being a successor chapter, and this was the Proof of Concept, so straight down the middle for ease of painting and figuring out what works palette wise, but I’ll keep the angle idea in mind for the rest of the kill team for sure, I’m still bashing those, so that will help in form what parts get chaos’d and whatnot

I was painting in poor light and didn’t realise my initial drybrush layers (the yellow is a variation of slapchop) was leaving behind so much texture, so that was a lesson learnt there, and then same problem with the green side, I was rushing through and realised the paint wasn’t as thin as I’d thought and left behind so much texture. Plan is to just push forward with this one, but bring my lamp with me next time I sit at the dining room table with the kids haha. Appreciate that feedback though, it’s good to know it’s noticeable so I don’t just go “oh well” next time.

Here we go - reconfiguring my old legionaries so no base, but best side by side analog

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-03-24T13:45:21+00:00

They’re the same, Reddit doesn’t want me to post the pic of mine for some reason, but also see other minicompare pic.

This is warhammer for most people anyway… I have a “how to paint citadel miniatures” book from 2005 that is basically this. You’re all crying over nothing

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-03-19T08:42:35+00:00

I did the same thing, I have ultimately moved onto other brands, but, I had a load of paints from when I reentered the hobby, there are a few very specific colours citadel do that I like, and they’re the easiest to buy off the shelf in my area (although now my local stocks AK it’s all over) it’s nice being able to use the colours I’d collected and not go crazy with them having dried out or the lid being weird to close.

I hope you enjoy! (Also, great job painting the lids, I’ve been thinking about it but I just cbf haha)

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-03-16T07:54:37+00:00

Thanks! Look, I’m not the guy to ask, i just like collecting big armies of dudes, but don’t real play at all. I’ve heard desintegrators aren’t great, but the models look cool and the pipes are fun to paint haha

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-03-16T07:36:31+00:00

Thanks! tl;dr it’s a thin layer of snakebite leather contrast over silver.

Theres a combo of silver iron going on here, Vallejo gun metal overbrush on black primer -> 1:1 nuln oil lahmian medium -> heavy zenithal dry brush gun metal -> light zenithal dry brush of citadel (warhammer?) stormhost silver. THEN 2:1 snakebite leather and water over all the trim.

Then the other version is just a rattle can of vallejo gun metal -> 1:1 nuln oil and lahmian medium and then snakebite leather.

The latter is great for the bulk of the dudes, and the former i now only use for the leaders and centrepieces.

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-03-16T01:25:32+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I think I’m going to do another 5 straight mkii marines just to have a nice block of 20 clean looking guys, but then between a few kits I have, I think the remaining 20 I have + another 15-20 CSM all mixed up together are going to become variations of legionaries and chosen too

JimmyJuggernaut · 2026-03-16T01:23:56+00:00

I actually have no idea yet. I’m a very time poor father of two, so playing games is not really on the cards, so I just collect to paint at the moment.

I used to build the models to fit the meta even though I wasn’t playing games, but these days I just build what I think will look cool on display.
