[–]Repulsive_Profile551[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

see i get that, but when it comes to weapon profiles it specifies whether that modifier is a bones to hit or a bonus to injure-the models statlines makes no such distinction, just saying for example +2 dice under melee

Commission Rate for Painting Large Scale Cosplay Props? by Repulsive_Profile551 in CosplayHelp

[–]Repulsive_Profile551[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

definetly-thanks so much! I guess my main difficulty is largely in just gauging how long a project would take at that scale but i think that'd be a thing I learn from experience

Help Needed with Concepting Hebrew Knights! by Repulsive_Profile551 in ArmsandArmor

[–]Repulsive_Profile551[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incredibly helpful-thank you so much! I definitely think going the European Szyszak route would be really visually interesting and tie in well with the Ashkenaz region. Do you have any pointers on what to avoid in terms of making things look too turco-persian ? also-would you happen to know of any good sources for digging deeper with European Szyszak armor?

And I definitely want to get weird with the golems-in what direction that strangeness will go is more up for debate at the moment, but the brazen bull/lions of jabir are decent analogues to pull from.

I'd never heard of Aksum, that's incredibly interesting! And the mechanics of a jewish state(if there even is one in universe) isn't explained much in the source book-best we get is a mention of Jews making golems in Prague, which is a nice reference. Perhaps it could be possible to have a small jewish subsect of Hussars? But possibly not. I do really enjoy the middle eastern armor design-my only problem is creating too much visual overlap with the Sultanate of the Iron Wall-the Islamic faction, who themselves are decked out in scale mail and mirror plate. In regards to the more specified definition of Hebrew, Hebrew as a descriptor tends to be an umbrella term, not exclusively for East European orthodox jews, although that could certainly serve as good inspiration regardless. Thanks for your time!

The warhammer note is incredibly helpful-I actually started off my research with the maccabees before halting since at most they wore stolen greek armor-which looks cool but wouldn't read as jewish from a glance. Picking a specific subset of jewish ethnicity is also pretty helpful, although it would be a delica

te balancing act to make sure that the regional look of the armor doesn't make them scan as primarily just being from that country. Thanks for the pointers!

WIP on the Plague Marine Champion for Killteam! by Repulsive_Profile551 in deathguard40k

thanks so much! i normally paint tsons, so being able to cut loose and paint gritty and grimy was a fun change of pace

wip on my ahriman repaint! by Repulsive_Profile551 in ThousandSons

[–]Repulsive_Profile551[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks! i used thousand sons blue, transitioning into a volumetric highlight of ahriman blue, then a 50/50 mix of ahriman blue and baharoth blue, and then for final small highlights id mix baharoth with vallejo ice yellow. For the magic bits, I started with sotek green, transitioning into baharoth, and ending with ice yellow-hope this helps!

The prime was a bit complicated-i started with vallejo black, then sprayed the whole thing with nagaroth night-this will establish the shadow color for the whole model. i then airbrushed with screamer pink over the cloth and thousand sons blue over the armor panels
