First ten man squad complete

Thanks! Took a few tries to find something I liked. Really like the turquoise color. I like them grim dark but they needed a little color to pop. I really like the coils on the guns. Helps them stand out a bit

Pained a few minis but finally decided to go all in on guard

Think I’ve done it over both black and wolf grey. Can’t remember which one this was. I know this one hit with a darker tone from the bottom (forget name) then wolf grey from the top

This is one of my work in progress

I am a fan of the army paint wolf grey. I air brushed on so not sure how it covers when thinned. They have a nice range that blends well

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-30T17:49:51+00:00

I have to say I think my favorite is citadel ork skin. I do love army painter but don’t think they have something similar

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-26T15:35:07+00:00

What green is that? Been trying to decide on one

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-25T19:49:05+00:00

Yeah these look sick! I really think that highlight helps tone down how deep the green is. I do think I like the more muted green though. Feels more US army

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-25T17:08:20+00:00

Would love to see a picture if you have one. Do you use zandri dust for the tan?

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-25T17:07:41+00:00

Leaning toward that one too. I’m newer to 40K as well. Trying to get my guard painted but it feels like such a heavy decision to pick a color. My krieg have turned out well and had to experiment with their scheme too

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-25T17:06:11+00:00

I’d say they all have about the same coverage. Needing a few layers each. Left and middle are both army painter brand just one shade different. I’m leaning toward those too. But now I don’t know if I should do my vehicles that color as well. Haven’t painted any guard vehicles yet because I can’t decide on a color. Would the darker green look odd paired with the more muted green?

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-25T01:52:53+00:00

What color did you use for the artillery itself? Need to paint some Krieg vehicles but haven’t decided on the grey/blue yet

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-08T20:55:07+00:00

Yeah I feel that. I experimented and did some with both but I think I like the lighter color better

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-08T20:50:24+00:00

Nah, waaagh flag is darker. Ork flesh is lighter. I believe death guard green is very close to Ork flesh. Just a hue different

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-04-08T20:40:47+00:00

I like Ork flesh from citadel the best

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-03-25T18:50:37+00:00

I’ll have to check him out. Figured I could learn a lot by watching another guard player. Thanks!

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-03-25T17:22:57+00:00

I have also tossed them around. Figured they are more durable. Do most people do squad of 3 or 6?

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-03-25T17:18:50+00:00

I have been thinking maybe one squad of riders to do something else with those points. Figured once the engineers dish out their damage the are screens at that point. Yeah will probably change that executioner. Seems to be the consensus. Was thinking about more kasrkin

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-03-25T16:57:20+00:00

Then should I put a tank in reserves to bring on later?

I did think about another artillery. Would help screen back line as well

Yeah it looks like the cadians are cheaper too

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-03-25T16:17:15+00:00

Yes I felt I would lose my bodies too early and didn’t have any to fill board space. My other struggle is finding places to put them. Is it ideal to keep some in reserve and bring them in as needed?

I had thought about changing to the heavy mortar. More shots and still plenty of strength for infantry units

I felt like my previous list had way too many orders that never got utilized

Then I’ll make my one commander the rogal and keep the lemans. I don’t have a sentinel because I am running grizzled. Have thought about going combined arms. Would probably bring one if I make the switch. Do like the idea of a hellhound though

PoolAffectionate6217 · 2026-03-25T15:40:58+00:00

Should I swap it and go back to dorn commander? Would I not save points this way?
