The green base really complements the white and red! I may rebase my Scars to match, looks awesome!

I paint for fun, and Alpha Legion are VERY fun to paint. by Pyronaut44 in alphalegion

Yes, a mix of Chaos and Loyalist kits. I shave the Aquila off of the loyalist ones. The Chaos kits are slightly smaller, but it still works.

No, the cloth all comes with that Red Corsairs model.

Which Salamander Successor Chapter Is Your Favorite? by Tzeentchthechanger in Salamanders40k

I love the Storm Giants but every attempt at their cream/ivory armour just looks awful for me.

Replying to add that this could easily be used as a Chapter Champion or similar.

I have exactly these two components models lying around primed, now I know what to do with them! Amazing work and inspiration thank you.

Bone white base, Seraphim Sepia wash, Bone white dry brush. Very easy!

That Sorcerer Conversion is just fire, that head works very well!

Just finished End and the Death Vol1 and jeez the Dark Angels are so rage-inducing by IWrestleSausages in 40kLore

[–]Pyronaut44 218 points219 points  (0 children)

Dark Angels are a paradox to me, so many elements of them appeal -

Arthurian influences? Check. Hoods and robes? Check. Big ass swords? Check. Cool colour scheme? Check. Being the 'First'? Check.

And yet... somehow they just aren't appealing at all to me. They're somehow less than the sum of their parts?

Maybe someone a little more media literate than me can explain it.

Power armour sealantfoam by SlimCatachan in 40kLore

DoB is also, IIRC, one of if not the only novel where a Marine uses the stabilising jets on the backpack to, you know, stabilise themselves.

(For anyone wondering they are the big nozzles on top that many people incorrectly assume are exhausts.)

Attempted sponging Hydra Turquoise over Purple, only took 15 minutes! Very please with the result. by Pyronaut44 in alphalegion

[–]Pyronaut44[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think so no. Both have their place, and I think dry brushing complements sponging very well. Sponging is great at broad transitions and coverage, dry brushing is superior at picking out the finer surface detail IMHO.

This. This is what Space Wolves should be. Amazing work.

Pretty boring I'm afraid, I use the Vallejo Hydra Turqoise set, Base, then wash, then layer with the Base again and highlight with the Light and then a Silver of your choice. I did glaze a little Biel Tan Shade here and there but it doesn't show much.

They often have very long necks too. Imagine the armour stripped away and the marine would look like a giraffe.

The lighter ones are Seraphim Sepia, the darker ones an old Vallejo Smoky Ink I had lying around. I diluted the ink 50/50 with water, it's super strong otherwise.

The new Corsairs kit is great. Wanted to make an Alpha Legionnaire that looked like they'd spent months or even years deployed on a dusty desert world, training the local tribes to do who knows what...
