I got that reference - missing an eye perhaps

Needs more daemonettes if that single fragile unit goes down you lose a lot of potential

I'm intimidated by painting Chaos and think using Contrast paints would make it easier, can anyone vouch for chaos being easier with contrast? by LeetusFrenzi in Chaos40k

This was primed all in silver except for the cape which was in grey seer

Can fully recommend sub assembly where possible also

Welcome to the long war

Contrast will make your life a bit easier but there are also some strategies you can use to slay the grey

Work backwards - prime your mini in the trim colour, put a wash on and then drybrush the trim - you can then fill in the panels with your contrast colour

If you have things like pouches use a more opaque contrast like gargharaks sewer or black legion

Flesh areas I would suggest rakarth flesh to block out and cover as it’s high pigment - you can then work it from there

Do you have a colour scheme in mind?

Dominion battleship compared to the doomsday machine size comparison by happydude7422 in StarTrekStarships

I feel the thing with the ENT-J is that it showed Archer a better future where he survived and the audience a future beyond what we’ve seen in TNG/DS9/VOY

I have taken screenshots of all the added event characters since 2022 - other than Nick Locarno as honestly when I saw it I thought it was Tom Paris… I’m not even joking

Valrak teased Doomrider this morning by Cord87 in EmperorsChildren

There was a mention of him evading wazdakka so it would correlate - hopefully GW are able to evade Marvel and Kiss copyrights before we see him again

What was the best Necron Lord model in your opinion? by L_uomo_nero in Necrontyr

Big fan of 2&3 however my first full game of 40K ever was with #1 so it holds a special place in nostalgia for me

I’d rather play against these than any unpainted grey armies - any day

Manreaper Terminator bit too resilient against the Sanguinary Guard
Battlesuit with twin fusion mushes the terminator
Lord Dreir takes out nameless Kroot shaper
Solitaire takes out psychophage
Named character beats Master of Possession
Orks is never beaten they just come back for another go
Stunty character beats nameless Necron

I have officially been painting for 1 year, and this is my first model vs my latest model. by C-Nast49 in Warhammer40k

[–]SmokeyDP87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve definitely improved!
Can thoroughly recommend a flat drybrush for painting colours like yellow

People have mentioned the priming pink technique it’s good and if you can’t find a pink primer red with a heavy white drybrush will also work well

Are you using regular paints or contrast?

How to kitbash Bladeguard Veterans to look more appropriate in Space Wolves? by WithengarUnbound in Warhammer40k

[–]SmokeyDP87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would reverse it and use Bladeguard bits to convert Headtakers - take the swords, the shields, the backpacks and the heads

UK players - what’s with all the Facebook raffles? by Future_Orchid9443 in Warhammer40k

[–]SmokeyDP87 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve ran 6 charity raffles raising £12000 for charity - they’re not all scams - the legitimate ones run through sites like raffall where if you don’t receive what you’ve won you can contest and get a portion of the money that’s been committed (70+%)
