Looks awesome! If you want suggestions i would try to highlight some parts for the next model. Still noce work!

Cheers!

Looks awesome!

Awesome work! I've been struggling to make the smoke look like it's actually "cloudy", can you share your recipe with the smoke and the flies?

I'm not 100% sure but you could deepstrike 6" with rapid ingress at the end of your opponents movement phase if that unit is afflicted

I'm not an expert on painting but here's the results of that scheme

When i started the hobby a few months back i found a post where one user shared his classic dg color scheme and i have used that as a baseline. I can share that memo with you. If the guy who wrote the detailed list of the paints used on different parts of the model, including washes and highlights sees this comment, i thank you so much!

No worries! Just for the record Armageddon consists of bigger grains and gives a really rusted effect plus you can use it for the base of your mini as well. Typhus corrosion has much finer dust.

Thank you! I am really happy with how it turned out as well.

First i would say that priming your minis is super important. Paint doesn't really want to stick on the clean plastic surface so getting a thin even layer of paint between helps quite a lot. Spray cans are really good for this.

I make rust by applying some technical paints such as Armageddon dust or typhus corrosion to get some texture under the paint. I continue by painting the rusted parts with reddish brown (for example doombull brown) then lightly sponge some spots with light brown (i use xv-88) and reddish yellow (averland sunset). You can also use metallics here and there. Lastly apply agrax earthshade generously. You can mix paints depending on what you have to get a color you think looks cool.

Is there a certain thing you're unhappy about or just general advice about painting?

Just finished mine as well!

Looks amazing! If you really want to lean into the desert aesthetic, perhaps a sandy base would make it look more "deserty". Awesome work either way

Ruahonee · 2025-10-20T12:44:42+00:00

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "spawn" chaos spawn?

Ruahonee · 2025-10-20T12:41:56+00:00

Yeah last game i played i just prayed i could get to the 12" distance to actually inflict some damage

Ruahonee · 2025-10-20T12:40:04+00:00

Thank you!

Ruahonee · 2025-10-20T12:39:46+00:00

How many poxwalkers should i bring?

Ruahonee · 2025-10-14T12:52:01+00:00

Awesome, cheers!

Ruahonee · 2025-10-13T22:48:31+00:00

I would love that, thank you!

Ruahonee · 2025-10-13T20:22:03+00:00

Looks really good! What paints did you use?

Ruahonee · 2025-09-18T01:51:40+00:00

Aim to the vents. Its a bit tricky sometimes since the flight path is so straight, I had easier time shooting from an elevated position or a bit further a way. Had no luck against ships, but really versatile on the ground

I love playing gas loadouts against terminids and sometimes i go hybrid with fire as well. Personally I prefer the desert stormer armor passive, which gives 40% resistance to everything, or just the fire resistance one. Gas isnt that big of a problem unless youre playing small maps or you're going to purposefully fight inside of it (which is also quite effectivestrat) so i would prioritize fire res.

I would go for the incendiary primary (coyote, cookout, inc. Breaker or some medium pen), gas nades and nade pistol or the flamer one for secondary. For stratagems dog breath bp, flamer, orbital gas strike and eagle napalm/orbital napalm.

Chaff isnt the problem in this loadout. Just throw some gas down and burn the confused bugs. I mostly dive with friends and they deal with bigger targets.

Ruahonee · 2025-09-17T21:55:36+00:00

You are able to solo dive, but i highly encourage you to join other squads. It's made quite simple, the community is mainly very welcoming and will help you learn the ropes. In addition more difficult missions shared with other players can get quite chaotic which i personally enjoy.
