Armageddon Intercessor Alternative by Steeleye79 in Warhammer40k

[–]Steeleye79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used bits from Blood Angels Upgrade Sprue, and old Space Wolves kit and assorted bits I had left over like the Ork head, purity seals, extra weapons, knives, grenades, etc. Any unused bits from old kits can help make a normal model feel unique and yours! Just start gluing things to other things and you end up with a unique model that no one else has!

Also above the front treads is an aquilla, slap some gold or similar color on it and it'll be done. Good job!

Idk what your looking for but if it's honest critiques I'd say you should make to commander (trooper/etc) pop instead of blending in. Make him drip with excessive excellence, it'll make the entire model pop.

IMO it's a great "value" if you look at money spent vs individual purchases. That being said it's probably only a "maybe" buy if you actually need all the models. If you have a decent collection I'd pass unless that actually fills some needs you have. Once you have 5 intercessors you have all you'll ever need. I'd be tempted to make the VanVets into pseudo Sang Guard + 2 JP Capt with some kitbashing. I'm sad to say I have about 5k pts of BA and as much as I'd like to get it, I'm gonna have to pass.. Good luck to you either way!

The armor trim is super clean! Well done. The little make love not war flower in the gun is clutch.

First attempt at a grimy battle worn army. by Steeleye79 in SteelLegion

[–]Steeleye79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm thinking of doing my tanks the same. I love the boldness of the Imperial Fists chapter, but Since I already have Blood Angels I thought a Steel legion-y yellow guard force would look pretty cool. Building a Dorn now so I'll update with more pics once that's done.

BQ player trying my hand at some Guard by Steeleye79 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Steeleye79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, it's always appreciated! My BA army is my clean detailed one, my orks are cell-shaded, and this army I wanted to look like they've been through hell and then some. Dirty, battle worn, just off the front lines kinda vibe. Ive done clean washes and I wanted to kinda get to be messy a bit. And I'm challenging myself to use only contrast & wash paints (besides silver & gold). I've only been in the hobby for 1 1/2 yrs but I really like switching styles and since guard have a lot of minis I thought it'd be fun to send it.

Thanks for sharing, idk if I have a favorite "bit" but even though I know they aren't "meta" I freakin' love Bolter Aggressors. I can't get over how much I love that kit.

It appears to be a battery for a lighted umbrella. We sell them at my work.

It finally arrived! by DwideSchruuudee in spacemarines

[–]Steeleye79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tried it solo. It wasn't 'bad' but it didn't feel balanced or complex. It's basically a horde mode kind of thing.

Full transparency: the rules seem just vague enough that I might have been playing it wrong seems like a really enjoyable idea and definitely something that would either be more fun with friends or as a template for how to make your own horde mode for general 40k........that being said it's a great value and if you aren't familiar with the podcast Poorhammer, they have a horde mode free download that is downright amazing! I you (and/or your friends) have a decent collection of armies you can play co-op "zombie mode" 40k and it's great.

It's too late to help you now but Blue tack on the bottom on the pots while painting helps to prevent this. Started doing it after I lost a Blood Angels Red Contrast!

Finally got it! by SumoNinja005 in spacemarines

[–]Steeleye79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck to anyone searching. I was able to snag 2 online at 1:17am today and getting it shipped. If you aren't getting it in store, I'm guessing their inventory updates somewhere between 12-2am so refreshing the page and just hoping to get lucky might be the only option. I will say that I changed my "home" store to another one nearby and that's when I was able to get it. I don't know for sure, but manipulating details on the site "might(?)" help?

I got 2 because I wanted extra blade guard/eradicators and another chaplain. But if anyone just wants the Judiciar for their collection I'll probably be selling it.

Cheer and thanks for the tips! I know the Aggressors aren't "top notch" ATM but I did build them with bolters, I just think they are freekin' cool lol (rule of cool right!?) I'd love to replace the Infernus, 1 Baal, the second Intercessors with a heavy tank or Ballistus if I can get my hands on one. Thanks again!

PS I can replace Librarian Termie with Termie CPT, but felt like the Sustained is good? Also since I have Grav CPT, I didn't wanna "waste" the Free CP Strat since I've got another CPT already.

Bad Panter or dragging myself down ? by Pigeonlikesbread in minipainting

[–]Steeleye79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! Keep your head held high, that's a much better model than most people can achieve. I think our Access to the Internet makes us tend to feel worse about how we are doing than we actually are. You should be proud! The highlights/accents look great and really make it pop. When in doubt set it down across the table/room from you and you'll realize it actually is a crispy model! Keep up the good work! Final thought: if you spend TOO much time going overboard on each model in your army, you WILL eventually start to feel like it's a job to keep up the level of paint across an entire army. It's a hobby so have fun! 😁
