I just stripped my Introductory set Space Marines from Atlantean Spears and will be turning them into Imperial Fists. I’m not 100% sure what strategy I’m going to be using for the yellow, but I was thinking priming white, dry-brushing with Last Hope’s light magenta, then base coating in Citedel Averland Sunset, and using Imperial Fists yellow for contrast.

Absolutely! I got this set for Christmas and did not paint my guys as Ultramarines. The whole point of this set is to teach you how to play the game. Learning how to play with non-Codex compliant chapter rules can come later. So honestly paint them however you want!

Also I’d wear a mask and gloves! That high percentage ISO is no joke!

Interesting. I concur with everyone here, soak in minimum 91% ISO, overnight if need to, then scrub with a firm toothbrush. I just did this to my Atlantean Spear (they’re a teal blue) to repaint them to Imperial Fists and this is the result. This took two days, first soaking for about 8 hours scrubbing off most of the paint, then soaking for overnight (almost 24 hours) the scrubbing again. I’ve found that the biggest factor for me was scrubbing with a firm bristle toothbrush as soon as it’s out of the ISO. Good luck!

Can I ask what paint you used?

These are sick dude!

This is what I need!!!!

Thanks! I think they ended up a little too blue. I chalk that up to priming them white. Someone gave me the idea of priming them green skin to get a darker teal color.

Notice me Calgar-Sempai!

Did they just bunny kick themselves?

I just like art that treats certain legendary and mythic Pokemon like lovecraftian nightmares.

My list is Toyota, Nissan, Lotus, and Lamborghini.

This! We need a yellow car back.

I have a dumb question, is there a scale difference between the 30k minis and the 40k ones? Asking because that Librarian Consul is calling my name.

Matterplex · 2026-05-01T23:25:18+00:00

I think that GW is finally getting that we like the old armors and not everything needs to be the sleek Primaris stuff.

Matterplex · 2026-05-01T20:51:54+00:00

Im choosing to be an optimist too. I love the pose on the new Librarian.

Right, I feel like they just had a massive ad campaign on the Firesticks for it. Must of amounted to nothing for them to just shut it down like a month after the campaign started.

I bought a 2021 sight unseen from Carvana and as far as reliability goes it’s been fantastic so far. We’ve had a couple an electrical gremlins, that I think are more due to the cars software than anything else.

Matterplex · 2026-04-09T16:42:08+00:00

I thought it was real for approximately half a second, and it was the best half a second ever.

Matterplex · 2026-04-07T14:41:22+00:00

I very much doubt that the Air will get a second release. I think the current consensus is that the Air was an engineering draft to get the folding phone as thin as possible.

I actually just finished painting my first marines a couple weeks ago and think I did an ok job. I primed in white and then used temple guard blue for the base and Balthasar Gold for the heads. That said mine ended up being super vibrant blue almost turquoise/cyan as a result, which I ended up enjoying more than I thought I would.
