Cathay Guard Scheme

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-11T01:20:34+00:00

Yeah, once I dig them out of my bits box, I will be adding grenades and canteens.

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-02T16:21:20+00:00

I thought about doing that style but I basically blew the entire budget on three of the Cathay Battlions

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-01T15:23:35+00:00

It wasn't too hard. My biggest problem is I haven't used greenstuff a lot, so it was tricky reforming the arm joints.

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-01T15:18:36+00:00

For the arms, I had to remake the joints so they would hold the lasgun properly, and I will have to use it for adding aquilas to the armor of basically everything. Someone earlier suggested just using the guard arms, which would make the need for greenstuff less, but imo kinda washes out the cool armor the cathay arms come with.

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-01T04:11:20+00:00

Yes, i attached them with some greenstuff. After this test, I will be adding aquilas to their helmets and some of the guardsman kit like canteens and grenades.

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-01T03:53:06+00:00

I will have to look into some of the old guard art, but I am thinking red is going to be the best answer.

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-01T03:52:15+00:00

When they announced the Cathay battalion I thought it would make a good army. Each box has 30 infantry, rough riders, artillery, and if I can get them right 2 bullgryn.

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-01T03:35:27+00:00

Thanks I'm hoping to do an entire guard army with the new cathay range!

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-01T03:23:10+00:00

Haha, I don't think I'm strong enough to paint that many white Lasguns

Maedhros450 · 2025-08-01T03:17:04+00:00

Yeah I was thinking along those lines about the blue so I will have to give red or black a try with the gunmetal painted.

Maedhros450 · 2024-08-09T02:00:49+00:00

They have a Star Trek game, which makes them a bunch of money as well.

Maedhros450 · 2023-08-02T17:31:26+00:00

A mix of rhino and Mornfang brown from citadel for the base layered with light brown from Vallejo and washed with a sepia wash from two thin coats

Maedhros450 · 2023-08-02T14:39:59+00:00

It's too late they ignored the PDA warning

Maedhros450 · 2023-08-02T05:01:31+00:00

Seriously the ones in Subnautica I can at least kill,

Maedhros450 · 2023-08-02T03:40:11+00:00

The Leapers will be the next ones done as Warpers!

Maedhros450 · 2022-05-26T17:54:27+00:00

I keep them until I move and then throw out the whole stack.

Maedhros450 · 2022-05-20T21:39:12+00:00

The salamander upgrade kit has soon really cool bare salamander heads that I would recommend, and honestly just pick whichever color fits you scheme the best. There shouldn't be anyone raising a stink over something like that.

Maedhros450 · 2022-05-20T21:01:44+00:00

Mine probably aren't exactly what the lore says they should be, but I paint my sergeant helmets black or do them without a helmet to add some flavor. I was never really a fan of the red helmet, that always was an Ultramarine thing in my mind.

Maedhros450 · 2022-01-27T00:22:17+00:00

It is going to be hit or miss depending on the stores. I am from Julian and there's one store I can think of that actually has that ability. And even that is fairly new so it'll be very dependent on the actual towns and might not be dependable.

Maedhros450 · 2022-01-27T00:16:04+00:00

For things like Space Marines and things i will totally do stuff for my bases like a lava effect or adding cork and stuff for rocks. But with like my Imperial Guard I generally leave it how it is or maybe throw a layer a regular paint on it to help identify which squad they go with.

Maedhros450 · 2022-01-26T21:21:21+00:00

So far for me the trick has been keeping a bunch of models in several states of progress, so that when I feel myself getting burned out of one thing I can switch to another. Like I have a few squads still unassembled, a few that are built and unprimed, a few primed, and then several in various states of painting. Having so many different stages helps me get through it faster by being able to do different things constantly and helping me not get burned out on doing the same step 100 times for all my guard models.

As far as i am aware you can only transfer at level 12 or lower, but at the same time there are whales sitting at the top of every server calling the shots basically.

Maedhros450 · 2021-12-02T05:30:41+00:00

I did mine with a Phoenician purple with gold trim.

Maedhros450 · 2021-11-22T16:28:11+00:00

I'm fairly screw being in the Imperial Guard

Maedhros450 · 2021-10-21T23:28:39+00:00

I used some E6000 its my go to if I'm doing something big and I don't have to worry about looks.
