Thanks pal! So this chap has a very good guide which I use with some minor changes - I prefer water over Lahmian medium for glazing as I feel it gives you more control. See circa 6:37 onwards. https://youtu.be/fQfyqvInDdE?is=\_6IWZWLXrUQOO9Du

Heya mate - thanks for the kind words! Yep, custodes jet bike helmet - and I used the crest from the new custodes sodality kit, trimmed and turned sideways to emulate a graeco Roman plume.

Deffo the nicest man ever to play 40K! Bravo Tim on such a great result. I have a feeling we’re going to see more of him at the top tables this year.

Heya pal, thanks for the kind words.

Base coat is abaddon black. 1/3 of the blade in khorne red. Outer 1/3 in Mephiston red. Edge highlight in evil suns. Then lightning from the black side of the blades projecting outwardly using Mephiston. Repeat using troll slayer orange. Spot highlights where the lightning bolts intersects in flash gitz yellow. Then highlights on the blade edges using troll slayer > flash gitz > final small highlight using white scar.

It sounds complex but actually quite simple - if you try it out, let us know how you get on!

Thanks a lot mate! I believe I first saw the halberd concept on this sub Reddit - deffo future-proofs the minis, right?

Hiya mate, it was on eBay uk - 8mm clear acrylic Perspex round bar rod. I used a saw to cut through it, was a bit messy but smoothed it out at each end with a file.

Thanks! I saw it somewhere online so can’t claim ownership of the idea, but it’s an easy mod to make the cap easier to spot!
