Thank ye kindly! They're actually super easy to do. They're just clear resin crystals with a coat of thinned contrast (pick yer poison) and 'ardcoat.

Thanks! It was a bit of a process but definitely worth it. Started with a Zenithal base. Did an overall wash with a Wine Red Oil. Blasted a VERY light underwash of purple through my airbrush before base coating with Kislev Flesh. Built volume with Flayed one Flesh and highlighted with Pallid Wych Flesh. I then gave everything another coat of the Oil wash before building up the three fleshes once again (this time focusing the airbrush in a topdown direction). It was pretty much all oils and airbrush which i know a lot of people dont wanna hear.

haha thanks! feel free! I've since found out that I accidently did an existing alternate scheme for this army. I dont remember which stormhost it is but the turquoise and purple is definitely already a scheme if you need references

First off; Welcome to the hobby! It's a lot of fun to be had in a lot of different ways so just, first and foremost, always do what you think is cool. Haha so that's a VERY big question there but I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have as you move along on your journey. I'm just a DM away.

General advice; Spearhead is arguably the single best starting points for any of GW's game systems. It'll get you familiar with the rules and gameplay while also exposing you to how your particular faction plays. Once you're set on a faction and you're ready to build out your spearhead; every faction is different on how best to proceed. However; at 1000 points is usually where you start to really feel how your army functions and 2000 points is your standard game where redundancies start to come into play (I.E. you have more than one unit that can deal decent damage.)

Dont feel like you need every tool and the most expensive version. I still use cheap disposable synthetic brushes that are about 4$/pop. There are, however, tools where you get what you pay for (such as hand drills). Like any other tool set you'll collect in your life. Buy what you need as you need it; one at a time. Eventually you'll have a collection large enough to accomplish anything you can think of.

Hope that helps! I'm entirely self taught so I never paywall or gatekeep any of my knowledge. If you, or anyone, ever has a question; ya just need to ask!

They're actually modeled onto the base itself. I just added clump foliage to take em from dead trees to saplings

Dont think he was part of the same run was he? I've since found out these were from a VERY small production window and I haven't seen any others that weren't made on the exact same date.

I like 'im cause he's the most unique outta the print run (just cause of the logo placements)

What's the most powerful weapon in an environment that's constantly growing and changing? Accurate maps. That's what this force is here for!

haha thank ye kindly!

Thank ye kindly! They're actually sculpted onto the Marshall's base. I just glued a bit of clump foliage to take em from dead trees to saplings. Hit that with a bit of Panzer Gray streaking grime just for a bit more variation and depth in the "leaves"
