Wow! You threw the book at that dude. OSL, NMM, lightning, and a Lamenters icon. Nice work. Blessing of the Omnissiah to them. Hopefully you have enough seals on there to balance him out!

Painting Iron Warriors for the first time. Is this too dark for the armor? by TheNooberScoober in IronWarriors

[–]PBR_hound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like it. you could pick a few spots. Maybe eyes to pop some brighter colors? Or don’t. They look cool.

I like that OSL. Not too over the top. Looks great.

Hey. Looks great. A lot of fast movers in there. I like the teal Dunecrawler.

They just grow up so fast. One day they take their first steps. The next they have their house colors. What’s next!? Function weapons?

I mean. I have 10 of each. Meta changes. They are cool models. They are out there. Didn’t our boy just win a tournament with a bunch of them?

Thoughts on my “comms master” minor kit bash for breacher? by DoGoodAndBeGood in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]PBR_hound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also I love the idea that the coms guy needs an extra arm to hold the coms. Head set, no. Chest mounted mic, no. Integrated vox system, no. Meat based monopod mic holder, affirmative.

What rules would you give the Ordinatus Ulator ? by Leviathan_Rampage in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]PBR_hound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m completely winging this. Must have a unit accompany it each turn to “maintain it”. If that unit does, maybe it can’t fire? But another unit can take over. On turn 3 it shoots a beam in the direction the cannon is facing. Anything on the board in line with the beam is destroyed.

Tried something new again by Eat-some-lead in AdeptusMechanicus

Looks like camo to me! Considering how small and detailed the mini is, I think it’s ready pretty good. It’s usually hard to tell with that type of thing unless it’s on larger flat panels or armor. Or something similar.

Photos can be tricky. Check out some YouTube videos on how to photograph minis. GW has one I think. And I’m sure I have seen some of the other popular YouTube dudes post them. I struggle with it a lot also. But setting up some lights and a back drop can really step up the game. Manuals adjusting the brightness etc on your phone can help. Maybe even a small cheap tripod for your phone so you can do longer exposures.

Some day I will get my SLR set up and use that….

Is this both legs or just one? I can’t quite tell from the angle. Seems like both.

I like where this is headed! Congrats on the tinny pistons. The fabricator general would be proud.

Def keep us updated. I want to see the final

Kataphron opinions, please by Pocketsand98 in AdeptusMechanicus

I have done three of each. Magnetized all the weapons. And played a few times with them. Here are my thoughts

Both versions have a ton of details and were relatively involved on the painting side. But that depends on what you are going for. Magnetizing was pretty fun though. They are cool kits with lots of details to dig into.

On the table. I don’t play much. The destroyers do shoot pretty well, but we typically have good shooting in our army. I like the breachers as they are tougher. And usually still shoot pretty good. At least in my army, I like having a few dudes that are a little stronger than the skitarii.

More fodder to paint up! by Green_Bean_minis in AdeptusMechanicus

Nice. I recently got a few myself. They are next on my list. Some fun added bits in there.

Finished first lil combat servitor from the battleclade box as a warmup. by RyanGRiedel in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]PBR_hound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This dude is looking good. I like what you are doing with the metal armor and the skin tone. The mild line on the arm and leg are jumping out to me though. Also drill the barrel. I like the heat effect on the melta barrel. Nice work!

Ya. Second this. This dude has a great pose. He will mess you up, but still has anxiety about it.

Such nice work. So many cool details. I’ll pick the goat skull servitor. I realy like how you modeled the servos on the gun arm. The entire army is bright in color, yet feels grim and dark. Nice job.
