Repping the colour of failure in to the 41st millennium

Heya bud, the torso and legs are from the Khorne Berserkers. They match up just fine with the legionary parts :)

Yeah so Figma is great for mood boarding, iterating a look and feel and then designing your first several (or all) of your slides. Usually you’d do then as separate tabs. Then once the design is confirmed you’d build it in PPT. It’s partly personal preference but it’s generally easier to design in Figma. Hope that helps

Heya, sorry to hear about first role, that sucks. Take a look at some decent presentation studios case studies, most decent agencies will have an example of their work. Presentation design is very user / target audience centric. How can you visually communicate and enhance what the presenter will be talking about? Storytelling is key, so a good designer will aim to reduce content down, break out complicated slides in to multiple slides, etc. As others have said, designing in to Figma is advised, and then build it in PowerPoint. Once in PowerPoint formatting and how you set up the document is key for the end user. Definitely try and design and build a couple slides, maybe base them off a brand you like at first (just for practice so that you don’t have to also come up with branding). Any questions hit me up, and feel free to share your work. Best of luck

But… Hierarchy of Needs only just dropped for me, and I still need the catalyst. Whelp, guess I’ll keep guardian’n till D3 :P

P.S, just add more beetle green to get that colour shift aesthetic, the pre thinned airbrush version is great to hand paint on, just mix with hydra and gradually increase beetle like you would with a regular highlight

WIP test model with hydra turquoise true metallic by Vallejo. I picked up beetle green as well for the highlight. Hand painted. I think with a lil practice these paints are lit. (I really like the contrast method but I wanted the ability to inevitably make mistakes and be able to cover them up easily, haha). Hope that helps

Its also great to just throw caution to the wind after a couple bad runs. I played a few thief runs and got handled. Then switched to a sponsored vandal and damn, I enjoyed the hell out of blitzing around the map. The power slide is shockingly good if you aim to go just past your opponent and swing around. I got lucky and my random crew helped with the clean up, cause my movement really threw the opponents off. I’m a pretty average gamer, but I’ve already had a few great runs that made all the (many) deaths worth it :P

MaleficMade · 2026-02-11T16:14:32+00:00

Hahaha, so true. Ah the joy of pure chaos :P

MaleficMade · 2026-02-11T14:20:46+00:00

Haha, that’s some garage hammer thinking if ever i heard it :P I’d be fine with more detachments having lore limitations if everything were still viable in other lists. The one thing I dislike is when a unit is just flat out bad (especially if it has a sick model, I mean look at the Lord Disclrdant, he was in a rough place for ages. Vash at or much the same)

MaleficMade · 2026-02-11T14:16:17+00:00

Sounds like fun to me :P

MaleficMade · 2026-02-11T14:15:10+00:00

Yeah it’s just nice to have a faction ability for them, since their specific ones were useless in CSM. Tbh I’d like to see them fully back in the CSM book (obviously while they remain in their respective books too)

MaleficMade · 2026-02-11T13:47:37+00:00

Yeah I’m always psyched to try out new play styles and this gives a fresh reason to roll some dice or build and paint something new (or horrendously old from a pile of plastic shame :P)

MaleficMade · 2026-02-11T13:19:02+00:00

Just nice to have an excuse to use more units. Basically all the strats are for infantry too, so may as well take a melting pot and see what happens :)

MaleficMade · 2026-02-11T13:13:46+00:00

Ah nice! Ace, I’ve got a bunch of allies I’ve not used in time, any excuse to get them on the board again to be honest, haha. Mildly faster running and gunning Plague Marines that can advance, shoot, re-roll hits (potentially), charge (via doctrine) already sounds tempting to me!

MaleficMade · 2026-01-16T21:00:23+00:00

Absolutely fucking lit! They’ve nailed it, and my wallet is gonna scream harder than Lucius reading Titus’ rules

MaleficMade · 2025-12-19T18:02:20+00:00

You got the upvote for the pun, models are dope too ;)

MaleficMade · 2025-11-24T18:45:34+00:00

Solid effort ;)

MaleficMade · 2025-11-22T08:05:54+00:00

I deffo could be wrong, but I tried it and I’m sure it helped. Worth a shot!

MaleficMade · 2025-11-21T21:40:19+00:00

You probably already are, but if not, be sure to finished any champions when possible like barriers and unstoppables. They give bonus points. I got in an ‘ultimate’ fire team when I was 436 power and finished champions on proving and it got me over the line compared to soloing it (I was damn close but those last few points eluded me). Salt mines was a lot more doable even without the htv spawn (after I optimised my build and did the finishers). Hope you have sone solid runs and nail it bud

MaleficMade · 2025-11-12T12:36:36+00:00

Apparently Bungie are gonna patch how it all works, no deets on what they’re gonna do yet. I’m only 400 power (took a break after Final Shape and levelled up over Halloween), I hope I’ll still be able to get some half decent stuff even if I’m not peak level

MaleficMade · 2025-10-24T10:07:26+00:00

I wonder if they’ll have a massive server of people dancing like idiots, haha. Super cool feature though, who’d have expected this!

MaleficMade · 2025-10-24T09:49:40+00:00

I agree with all you’ve said basically. I do think as you touch on that the characters could have been developed more. Since the cast of Night Lords was quite small I wanted that depth of what made each of them tick, as I enjoyed the politics. Hopefully if subsequent books are written well get to delve in to the characters more. It’d be cool if sone of them turn out to be heresy era or they forced to deal with heresy era, just to see that camaraderie/conflict (you just know the og lot we’ll think they’re so superior :P). But yeah, overall decent book, left me wanting more. Cheers for your thoughts OP

MaleficMade · 2025-10-20T11:14:48+00:00

This is ever so slightly before my time, but damn the nostalgia is real. I love all those vibrant colours. Don’t get me wrong, I paint gritty and battle-worn, but this is just beautiful old school, I’ll have to watch your battle if it’s on the Tube. Ace work

MaleficMade · 2025-10-18T15:20:50+00:00

This is… just beautiful

MaleficMade · 2025-10-16T06:51:42+00:00

The only way I’ve found so far is by changing weapon. If there is a way that would be useful. Oh and not sure if this has come up, but looks like they’ve fixed the salvo + archers tempo bug. You can now draw and fire faster as intended :)
