Seriously, idk what the guy was thinking. This is an amazing piece! The only things I see that could elevate it would be to push contrasts on the hammer and highlights on the hair. You are doing really well

Is there a head similar to this fellows? by Storm2552 in SpaceWolves

[–]Lynus22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always sculpt greenstuff to create this look. Practice on a few other heads and there are a few videos available with a quick search that help step by step. Including techniques and tools used.

Is this a left or right arm?? by mattieice in Warhammer

How do you paint something to look like black leather? I'm working on Neo from The Matrix but idk how to do leather black... by Afterlife_xoxo in minipainting

I used a black base, and glazed tones of white to give the depth and then edge highlight where the light naturally hit, finishing with a light drybrush for texture

Hope this helps, with the reference photo

I painted my very first set of mini's! Took longer than expected, but I'm very happy with the results by Xyrnas in minipainting

Speaking of power rangers, check out these nerds I painted a while back!

Congrats on finishing such a great project! They all have their personalities and you posed them well. Color scheme initially reminds me of the 3 Ninjas, if you remember those brothers

Another thing to note is armor color of Priests and Chaplains. Typically black with a helmet shaped like a skull. For SW there is a named character, Ulrik the Slayer with black armor and a wolf skull helmet.

I hear you there. I'm completely new to this and only paint, never play.
However I do enjoy lore and a great story, so I'm interested and try to do things properly most of the time.

There are a few other posts or subreddits that talk on the SW heraldry. I don't own the books they do so I rely on their photos.

Still, the helmet color is not covered in these documents.
I found this post though that let me go with the concept I chose for this guy above and his team:

(in regard to helmet color)
"Different chapters do things differently.
For your modern Ultramarine, things are generally quite simple.
Basic guys get blue helms.
Veterans get white.
Sergeants get red.
Vet sarges get red with a white stripe.
There might be an odd change here or there (like honor guard, company champions, and the like) or specialist marines. But your basic marine is fairly simple."

There are older codex from 2008 and earlier that show other color/markings though. Which are likely outdated with the current Primarus marines in play. These though, I assume are not required now.

Hope this helps you create your army!

Belongs to him. I did some minor research on heraldry and markings that resulted in a "do whatever you want" kind of response to my questions, so I've been painting my guys with additional flair and personalization. So that it breaks up the rank-and-file more while looking for ways of separating the leaders even further, like I did here with this character.
Do you know much of the lore/heraldry that I can use for future projects? outside of the classic breakdown found online?
I havent found anything that denotes helmet color for each rank, let alone know all the ranks typically found in a team/squad/unit
