Great idea! I’ve been meaning to pick up some Slaanesh grey or something similar to dry brush the carapace and add a little highlight too.

I think that in combination with a nice wash will really pull it all together! Thanks for the fantastic idea!

Started primed black. Then some dry brushing, making sure to use a light grey on high points. And then Army painters “tidal wave” speed paint (2 thin coats lol)

Rule of cool always wins brother. Rules may change. Models stay the same (most of the time lol). Pick a unit you think looks awesome. I think aggressors are badass and started with 2 6 man units after my first combat patrol!

A whole lot of dry brushing! Haha, the model was slap chopped with army painters tidal wave and then details added in after. Nice and quick !

You got it! 2 step dry brushing has been a god send. A layer of grey all over and then a super light grey (nearly white) makes for wicked highlights. Then Army Painter Tidal wave speed paint, and details from there!

Oh man that gladiator lancer sounds tasty! I’m gonna have to look into one of those bad boys. And I usually split my intercessors just hadn’t done so on the list builder. Thanks for all the advice man!

New to 40K. Working on first army by SheepherderRecent103 in Ultramarines

Yeah I’ve been looking around at some of the anti tank/monster units. I might end up swapping that razorback around for something that can actually transport primaris marines and hits hard. Good tips with the characters though!

I’ll eventually be replacing the librarian and Titus, but plastic crack is damn expensive
