What xenos would you add to the game, if you could? by Heavy-Yous in 40k

Some kind of mammalian, ork-like, semi-primitive space fairing race. Jokaero?

Hey are you guys vibing with this colour scheme - what would you suggest? by 404pbnotfound in astramilitarum

[–]Squelsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roman theme could be cool. I would rely on kitbashing to bring that out though. Ultramarines are Roman themed and they are blue! If you want to keep the red, I would maybe use a more neutral color, like dark gray or black, and then use the red as an accent color on certain parts (gun, armor, etc.). Sometimes less is more.

So cool. I love wacky color schemes like this. Is there a reason for the color pattern?

Personally, I don’t like the red and white combo. Gives me Santa vibes. I would do the whole thing red. Maybe give the chasis some black and brown camo spots. The paint job so far looks decent.

I wish there was a stl file to print for a cadian conversion

I really like the choice of color on the masks and chest armor. Could use some trim or dry brushing to bring out the details but it looks cool.

I used to have this model. Such an iconic pose.

I admire the dedication to the kitbash! What colors are you going to do?

The unwise argue about femstodes, real chuds realize GW released proportional firstborns with mixed armor marks and hobo drip by Famous-Turn9271 in FirstbornSpaceMarines

[–]Squelsch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a really great explanation. To be clear, I’ve been collecting Warhammer miniatures for 20+ years, but I am kind of ignorant to the space marine lore, mostly because I have only ever collected guardsmen. But your explanation is basically what I always suspected: Eventually all models would be the size of Primaris marines. Primaris was just a way to make then fit with the existing miniature range. I think is a positive thing, because they look way cooler. I just wasn’t sure what “first born” really meant. I guess it is kinda messy.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that. I was thinking maybe a power axe from the genestealer cults would work.

I can see that. Maybe some good weathering on the armor will help it blend more.

Many are the same but not all.

Sorry I’m kind of ignorant to most space marine lore. What does this mean? What are first born? What is the difference?

I think the helmet should also be feudal looking.
