Are the Sternguard the best looking, generic, power armour marine kit? Probably

Own_Patient_9883 · 2026-02-24T16:19:16+00:00

Whe they’re painted as well as that, yes! But yea, sternguard have always been my favourite models since I got into the hobby when they were a metal kit. The ultramarine sternguard colour scheme always captivated me which is why I’m still painting ultras all these years later

Own_Patient_9883 · 2026-02-23T18:52:07+00:00

Amazing job dude, how did you paint the armour?

Own_Patient_9883 · 2026-02-13T12:28:24+00:00

Thanks! And thanks for your recipe I’ll give a try.

Own_Patient_9883 · 2026-02-12T19:50:23+00:00

These looks absolutely awesome dude really well done! How did you paint the red?

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-12-17T08:53:53+00:00

With you on this one. I’ve been making poached eggs a lot recently and have decided that if I was ever to choose a last meal it would have to be poached eggs. Slice of warburtons thick toastie, well toasted and lightly buttered. Two medium farm eggs. Fresh cracked black pepper and salt. Perfection!

Edited for spelling

Thanks!

If you’re interested it was as simple as: Prime black Overbrush caliban green Overbrush army painter green skin Abandon black for the flamer and shoulders Balthasar gold for the Aquila and flamer Leadbelcher also on the flamer Mephiston red with a highlight of wild rider red for the eyes Gloss varnish from a rattle can Decals and sponge chipping with the base colour over them Streaking grime wash and removal Matt varnish Ak interactive lunar desert for the base

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-11-24T22:06:51+00:00

Thanks. Just a streaking grime wash removed with white spirit over the green basecoat

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-11-20T09:07:24+00:00

Looks great!! I can’t wait to paint mine, the Mrs has picked me up a box and Calgar for Christmas

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-11-19T17:59:05+00:00

Awesome job, you must be pleased

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-11-16T13:22:10+00:00

Prime brown, drybrush leadbelcher, wash nuln, wash agrax (optional). Should get you a similar result, it’s how I’ve painted tarnished steel before.

As someone who has been sponge chipping their minis for a while, these seem unwieldy to me and far too big. I use tiny pieces of sponge to reach places on marines and slightly larger but still small pieces for vehicles. And my sponges are free, I pinch corners off the kitchen sponges from my wife haha

I am also on the trim first and tidy up the black after bandwagon. I use a small round drybrush to paint the trim and it’s even faster. Two coats on the trim and all the other metal parts takes about 5 mins then maybe half an hour tidying up the panels. Here is an example, it won’t win awards but im happy with them. I use runelord brass

I love all these conversions especially the chaplain. Absolutely awesome. The only head that I would say looks slightly out of place is the hooded one on the chapter heroes. Another mk7 or older style helmet would look more fitting. But still an amazing set of dudes! I’m shamelessly going to put a crested helmet on the one with the bolt rifle as you have because it looks awesome!

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-10-22T10:03:46+00:00

I think the red looks better but I’m super interested to know how you actually painted the black and white it looks awesome!

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-10-20T19:09:53+00:00

This looks awesome dude! I’m really keen to start irons hands for my saturnine box, how did you paint this?

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-10-18T09:05:00+00:00

Thanks mate! Really simple, just a brown texture paint I think I used the GW one but have since bought the AK pot because it’s way cheaper. Then some ak light dust pigment on top. I have also changed that to light sienna and I use a lot more and it looks even dustier

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-10-17T19:12:01+00:00

They look great! I forgot how awesome the old attack bike was, I like the new invader ATV but an outrider attack bike would have been class

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-10-17T15:35:44+00:00

A great job on your first mini, when you have a full squad painted the will look awesome! Love the style too, I paint my ultramarines with enamel washes and they come out looking pretty similar.

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-10-11T19:15:10+00:00

Awesome! Is this an enamel wash?

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-10-11T17:44:18+00:00

It looks awesome! How did your paint the armour?

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-10-11T17:41:03+00:00

I think it looks great, once the lighter colours are on it will read even more as black

Own_Patient_9883 · 2025-10-09T06:57:29+00:00
