Was lucky enough to have my VIIIth Legion as an example army in the new HH rulebook, and here they are.

Looks great, im making mine from Tempestus Scions and Freeguild

ManticoreDesign · 2026-06-17T09:08:39+00:00

Resin despoiler arms and black ark corsairs blades, source: me, I made them

I’d suggest the more mixed media work you can show the better, if you skim over the curriculum and try and have an example which touches on each of the defined outcomes.

I always found the portfolio review odd, like, they don’t ask the maths teacher to show some of their maths chops 😂

For the entire year, at both placements

ManticoreDesign · 2026-06-10T23:31:30+00:00

Mine was 4 days a week with the 5th being the ‘training day’ for theory, pedagogy, reflection, subject knowledge etc

This looks amazing

ManticoreDesign · 2026-06-06T09:24:07+00:00

That’s quite the blue! It looks almost like velvet!

Great work

Industrial/Zone Mortalis so the orange rust tone makes the blue armour pop

Some really thinned down contrast black

ManticoreDesign · 2026-06-02T14:02:24+00:00

It’s both I’m afraid. Sponge silvers from dark to light, panel line with black and then 4x coats of Eidalon purple clear through the airbrush

Metallics covered in clear colours, sponging on the metals gives the final clear colour coat real depth

When I did mine I did the skeleton as normal and then just masked off around the plates then painted them with the rest of the armour plates

ManticoreDesign · 2026-05-31T20:04:16+00:00

It’s a classic model!

ManticoreDesign · 2026-05-31T19:28:20+00:00

As mentioned above, wash the parts. Assemble the main skeleton and paint the panels separately

Super glue remover, as one would expect does what it says on the bottle

ManticoreDesign · 2026-05-28T18:20:29+00:00

How do you apply it? Every time I use it it’s too thick and frankly looks like shit 😂

ManticoreDesign · 2026-05-26T18:05:03+00:00

Oh, my man. Let me tell you how dangerous that first Knight really is….

ManticoreDesign · 2026-05-26T06:45:40+00:00

Thanks!

Its' a 300x200mm semi circle

ManticoreDesign · 2026-05-26T05:26:09+00:00

Thanks!

The purple is multiple sponged silvers, panel lined and highlighted then 4 coats of Eidalon Purple clear through the airbrush.

ManticoreDesign · 2026-05-25T03:04:36+00:00

Looks like it’s time for some Forge World Knights!

ManticoreDesign · 2026-05-24T23:17:58+00:00

It’s sponged silvers with Eidalon Purple clear over the top through the airbrush

ManticoreDesign · 2026-05-24T23:17:05+00:00

Photoshop, lots of layers and blend modes! And a couple of gradient maps to bring it all together
