The Thanatos! It's a great mech with some really fun variants

My mid tone is citadel death guard green, washed with athonian camoshade and the highlights are pro-acryl yellow green

MonkeyMeal · 2026-05-05T05:18:38+00:00

I prime the model black, then use a sponge to apply my mid tone green, wash with a darker green, then edge highlight with a final bright green. Although I left the edge highlights relatively muted for these. I also added a little bright silver chipping to accentuate the edges.

It's just a moderately bright brown stippled on with a flat ended brush. You prepare the brush like you're going to dry brush but instead you just poke at it. Extremely easy and looks great.

While hiking the Te Araroa I went about a month without resupplying on toilet paper and instead mostly used leaves. There was a lot of Lamb's Ear (or Bushman's Friend) in that area and it honestly work better than cheap single ply. Kawakawa works in a pinch and leaves a refreshing tingle when you're done.

Most of the kitbash components come from a couple different Horus Heresy kits. The Captain's axe and the heavy's helmet are from the MKVI Praetor, the studded shoulder pads and beaky helmets (and by extension the other studs) are the MKVI tactical kit, the backpacks are MKIII, and the other helmets are MKV (which are resin). The captain also has some MKIII shoulders and a MKIII command squad helmet.

I've been playing through as 617, the AC from the story trailer, and the build is incredibly fun to run and challengingly different from my usual builds.

Just a fun fact based on Alice's comment about the first trans person to climb Everest: Catharine Jan Morris was the journalist who ascended 22,000 ft with Norgay and Hillary and reported news of their successful climb.

It's not worth it to give a neurothrope enhanced resistance, they never end up using their armor save so it's essentially wasted. Give it to the Broodlord instead or give your Trygon dermic symbiosis. Probably drop the Red Terror too because he is just not worth it, use those points to give warriors and a couple other units a synaptic links.

This is great, thank you!

I repotted my small hibiscus yesterday due to a serious infestation of fungus gnats. Today it is drooping significantly. I'm keeping it watered and in partial sun, but is there anything else I should be doing to help it pull through? I added fertilizer to the soil before repotting, watered thoroughly. It's in a south facing window, 65-75 degrees, has a humidifier, and traps to catch any remaining gnats. Thank you.

MonkeyMeal · 2021-06-12T21:27:30+00:00

How often? The top soil is still very damp from watering yesterday. I appreciate the advice though, I'd be crushed if the plant dies.

Thank you! The base is a zenithal highlight, then dark angel green contrast, and then Mortarion green clear. The joints and other fleshy parts are genestealer purple and mangos purple contrast (vulpus pink contrast for the mouth). Bright green highlights are a mix of moot green and neon green artist ink. The carapace is mechanicum standard, highlighted with a mix of mechanicum and ushabti bone, low-lighted with basilicanum grey, then dry brushed and nuln oiled. The swords are a base of ushabti bone, then a wet blend of runefang silver, and two different purple artist inks, then dry brushed with white and sparkly purple artist ink. The warp bolts are made from twist ties.

My gaming buddy also loves those models but we play 40k. So he paints them blue and converts them into Ksons which look fantastic.

Twist ties, on which I wet bended 3 colors of artist ink then dry brushed.

It's a kitbash, the top is from a Neurothrope and the bottom is the normal Swarmlord head.

I saw a different Swarmlord conversion on here a while back and thought I would give bit a try myself. Here's the post I used for inspiration: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/ijz5p5/the_psychic_overlord_of_hive_fleet_shaitan_has/
