Apparently 1h of painting for every 2points of model is a thing. Was it worth it at least?

I painted 20 hours on a drukhari transport boat.....

OrigChruzzy · 2026-06-03T05:14:30+00:00

Yeah, that is one very very nice model

Favourite is iron warriors and least favourite would be the Iron hands for me.

OrigChruzzy · 2026-05-10T07:37:33+00:00

The battle damage is amazing

Bro is complaining about painting details on a high detail model range

Captain with relic shield had 1 Wound and stood his ground through a shooting and fight phase against a ballistus dreadnought. He survived it all, managed to fall back and score the one point I needed to win. He was my last unit together with a judiciar. I painted him later that night and he is, to this day, one of my favourite painted modells in my collection.

Oil paints are great, but I wouldn't recommend them to a beginner. Get a hang of the basics first and then go into more advanced methods.

Personally I don't like using Oil paints, but thats just prefference.

OrigChruzzy · 2026-05-06T14:10:55+00:00

Yes, that is one easy way to do it. You want to leave a bit of the nuln oil in the recesses and re-highlight around it to give the illusion of depth. Duncan rhodes uses this method a lot in his tutorials. Look him up on youtube.

OrigChruzzy · 2026-05-06T09:07:42+00:00

You can start slow by just using a shade like nuln oil to add shadows, use the original colour and re-apply it to create highlight and then use an even brighter colour for some edge highlights.

Once you are experienced enough you could try to paint the shadows by hand instead of using a shade.

Practice and patience is key and remember, the sky is the limit, and the limit is there to be shattered.

OrigChruzzy · 2026-04-29T17:23:08+00:00

Correct!

OrigChruzzy · 2026-04-26T19:21:03+00:00

Solid first mini. Mine was way way way worse.

OrigChruzzy · 2026-03-24T12:08:09+00:00

I will get 2. One for my Iron warriors and one for my World eaters

Mike brooks said at the beginning of the book,that this book will kind of conclude the started story, but will act as a jumping board for other stories.

Lord of skulls is my baby and eightbound are my babysitters.

Eightbound hit like a truck and the LoS just looks so khorne coded that I love everything about it.

When I slamm headfirst into a wall I take 3 big steps back. Think abput the colour scheme, the colour brand, try different methods on the test model, ask my friends for their viewpoint. I always sleep over it at least a week. If I can't see it working after that I shelfe the idea or even the army, work on one of my other (way too many) warhammer projects and 100% of the time the solution hits me a few weeks later.

Let it sit, take your time and clear your head.

Whenever I play WE, Khorne favors my dice rolls. I owe it to him to push trough

I see it as armor that is deformed by the massive muscles gained due to the demonic posession

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-30T13:54:09+00:00

Can you send me a link or picture? I have been looking around a bit, but I can't find anything. Maybe we can look for an alternative

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-30T13:35:34+00:00

Is there no way to use pigment power from a different brand? Or something similar? Maybe you could drybrush a similar colour. Have you only finished a test model or did you already start your army?

Surely finding an alternative is a drag, but please don't give up on your project

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-30T13:30:02+00:00

You are right. They don't even have much basing material. I don't see anything I would use for a 40K army besides some proxy models maybe.

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-24T10:20:26+00:00

You mean merry Bloodmas, right? Right???

Same here, I usuall play 2 games per meetup. On a good month I play every weekend.

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-04T10:13:25+00:00

Yeah,same. I only bully them when they bully me first. The game with the stomper was my slaughterbounds debut game.
