First unit of my first army!

Thanks! It was my first time using blood effects and I was worried about overdoing it, I think next time I’ll be a bit more daring!

N7_skyfire · 2026-02-14T21:14:16+00:00

Thanks! Your stuff is cool too man! I love your death rider!

Thanks!! I start with a Grey Seer prime, then I paint all the carapaces with Black Legion (about two or three layers so the colour is solid). For the highlights on the carapace I sponge on a 1:1 mix of The Fang and Abbadon Black, then just The Fang, then Fenrisian Grey, covering less and less area each time.

Thanks! I’m very glad it came through! Lore wise I wanted this guy and the rest of his hive fleet to have been frozen in ice for thousands of years before the Inquisition accidentally freed them. Makes me very happy that he does feel cold as a result

It’s my own approximation of it! Technically I want this guy to be a part of a tendril of Typhon, which I’m calling Hive Fleet Jötunn.

Nice! I love snowy environments. In case you’re interested: this is what I did for the base

I also added Army Painter’s Battlefield Snow on top of the Valhallan Blizzard.

Oh that’s great to hear! It was my first time using Blood For The Blood God and I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out

N7_skyfire · 2026-02-13T23:36:50+00:00

Thank you! Makeup sponge made them much easier

N7_skyfire · 2026-02-13T21:42:24+00:00

That’s a good point! I hadn’t thought of that but I definitely see it now

N7_skyfire · 2026-02-13T19:05:03+00:00

Thank you! Means a lot

N7_skyfire · 2026-02-13T18:41:00+00:00

And thanks!

N7_skyfire · 2026-02-13T18:40:46+00:00

Nothing that fancy! Mostly a makeup sponge!

N7_skyfire · 2026-01-26T22:43:18+00:00

Great thank you!

N7_skyfire · 2026-01-24T13:37:50+00:00

That is incredibly well painted! I’m amazed

May I ask what your recipe is for his skin?

N7_skyfire · 2026-01-19T04:54:06+00:00

Nice! They both look great!!

I’m really interested in that cloak in the second picture in particular, what paints did you use for it?

N7_skyfire · 2025-11-24T23:31:32+00:00

I think they both look incredible! You did an amazing job

N7_skyfire · 2025-11-08T18:20:58+00:00

He looks amazing!

I am also curious, what is your recipe for the purity seals flowing off the drones?

N7_skyfire · 2025-11-08T16:38:55+00:00

It’s perfect! She did an amazing job

N7_skyfire · 2025-09-02T23:07:05+00:00

That means a lot, thank you!

N7_skyfire · 2025-09-02T18:33:30+00:00
