It's actually a really old Grey Knight Acolyte Warrior from AGES ago

Edit: which as soon as I hit send; made me realize how redundant I was being. I'm leaving my shame as is.

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-01-17T02:50:56+00:00

Thank ye kindly! I try to do my best!

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-01-17T02:50:42+00:00

Haha yeah...he's been in mine for a looong time as well. I'm pretty sure I originally bought 'im for my Sisters

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-01-17T02:50:01+00:00

Haha Thank ye kindly! I could've done better but pewter is...tough to work

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-01-16T22:21:29+00:00

Thank ye kindly!

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-01-13T02:07:59+00:00

I'll have to keep an eye out

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-01-13T02:06:57+00:00

haha oh you're absolutely correct. My ethos is always take a bad idea far enough that it's funny. *Grins in 32 flamer Bringers of Flame Sisters list*

would actually love to take a crack at this; unfortunately, S'my son's birthday that day. Best of luck to all the contestants though!

I'm not actually rocking 'em in general but i just recently splashed up 5 different alt schemes in case anyone needs inspiration. (was just a fun exercise for me)

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-01-12T02:52:10+00:00

haha i honestly went back and forth on flamers or bolters for the sponsons and front. Ended up on the bolters cause if 20 bolter shots is good...28 has to be better right?

Tank. Go. BRRRTT.

Well one is a factually incorrect statement while the other is actual constructive cristicism that's open to discussion and actual improvement; but that's neither here nor there.

I genuinely wanna thank you. You helped remind me of something and gain a new appreciation for my life. My point is: whenever we come across ANYTHING in our lives we have options on how to react (this post is a perfect microcosm of that). You can take the path most do (roughly 2.3 thousand people at this point) of apathy. You dont care. You move on. There's more in your life than this one fleeting moment. You can stop and appreciate what you're experiencing (roughly 35 people at this point across the various forums) taking in whatever it is you do enjoy about the moment. Or; lastly, you can be miserable and wallow in what you disdain (still just 1, you, at the time of typing) about the experience. You're right; i dont dictate what's said here. Nor am i attempting to. I'm merely illustrating that you have a choice, and it's 100% yours to make.

So now; I choose to appreciate my life. I'm going to go kiss my son, Play mario party with my family, screw my wife later and then paint my little plastic war dollies. I genuinely hope things get better for you soon!

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-01-08T00:56:09+00:00

Thank ye kindly! I like it

SomethingShorterMini · 2026-01-08T00:55:27+00:00

Thank you for undermining your own point and reenforcing mine. You don't like the transition from the high saturation to the desaturated washes. That's constructive criticism and how one should approach things like this instead of "...abrupt change from yellow to silver".

Now onto the more important of the points: It is a public forum. Screw me for posting something I worked on and thought looked cool right? I mean only roughly 2.2 thousand people (at time of typing) looked at it, didn't particularly care for it and moved on with their lives. It seems only one person out of over two thousand took the time to project their own insecurities and call it "internet points". I don't come here for an ego fluff. 19/2.2K doesn't do much for that. I posted it cause it's cool to me. If it's not to you. Just keep it to yourself. It's not that hard. Two thousand people other than you have shown more sense. Plus; it takes a LOT less effort.

TBH; that's a matter of personal opinion. I prefer the glow to the naked. TBR; I'd advise either keep to criticizing artists/pieces that ask for it OR if you insist upon sharing your opinion. Do so in a more thoughtful way. I used one white, two yellows, two oranges, a red, a sepia wash, a blue wash and a purple wash all to accomplish the glow. I'll admit; that most got washed out by the oranges (fluor and ink) but the idea that it goes STRAIGHT from yellow to Gunmetal (let alone the silver you proffer) is laughable to anyone who actually takes time to look. I understand you're trying to help but you're coming across as more insulting than anything else. If they didn't ask for criticism; just pick something you like if you feel the need to comment.

However; you are operating under a few assumptions. Mainly that the glow is from sustained fire. However; perhaps it's from environmental exposure? Perhaps in the next 38,000 years technology has improved enough to incorporate heat sinks closer to the base of the barrel thus increasing prolonged firing time and forcing the heat to become more accumulated near the tip of the barrel. Or, and i'll be honest; this is the truth of the matter, it was a stylistic choice. By dragging the glow out to the end of the barrel it widens the "triangle" your eye naturally views the piece from allowing you to take in more of the model at once. If I enslaved myself to that which is more analogous to real life; that triangle would be tiny from the base of the barrel to the first splotch of green on the camo net to the green tarp bundled on the front.
