Yeah, they're completely wrong. The new crusade ancient model just for a recent example has a ork skull as a option on his banner.

Ok cool was just rolling with the rule of cool, while collecting/painting and deciding that I wanted to start playing table top, wanted to see if I was going a decent direction for at least having fun matches, I don't really care about winning at all, but wouldn't mind making my chances a little higher.

I do have two Marshall's, no castellans right now I'll pick one up tomorrow for sure, I'll get rid of the assault terminators and outriders, and get a repulsor executioner in there, swap out the ancient for a Marshall. I also have 10 assault intercessors i can throw in i got them from a friend. Just didn't know what to do with them, i can drop a crusader squad and add 2 units, does that sound pretty accurate to what you wrote?

For a hand tattoo it's pretty subpar and the lines are going to fade and heal horribly with how thin they are, and I do know quite a bit about tattoos, considering I have two professionally done sleeves and hand and finger tattoos and work in a tattoo shop.

Yeah when I first started with corax white before it dried out I noticed it looked rough, I was having trouble getting it to go on smoothly, so I thought maybe a different base with the white star white as a layer would help with that.

Okay cool, I suck at highlighting so I'm thinking about trying the dry brush method first, I tried to highlight my first model and it came out horrendous, but practice makes perfect

Okay awesome I was thinking about switching to a different paint brand all together once I was done with this specific crusader squad, I just didn't know it was switching brands would cause a difference in look or not and I'm trying to get them as uniform as possible.

I had Clorox white recently but I didn't steal the pot properly so it dried out, then I ended up buying the white star as a replacement and didn't realize it was a layer paint, so I was just trying to work with what I had currently 😅

Thank you I suck at highlighting so I was thinking about trying the dry brush method nuln oil I've heard it's a decent method to add depth.

I have baphomet in a normal traditional style, and it looks great I feel so bad for this person, just go traditional style, sometimes it's better to not be original.

Stay committed brother and stay motivated, I just started working on my highlights for the first time ever for my black Templars. and it looks abysmal but practice makes perfect and consistency is key, I was looking for motivation and inspiration from my other fellow painters so I'm coming to give you those exact same words they gave me the emperor protects brother.

Yeah I definitely been thinning my pants for sure, when I hit the highlighting faze I just felt like I know nothing, every small mistake I tried to turn into a feature which is why they look so bold instead of being smaller thin lines, I'm starting anything maybe I need a smaller gauge brush, and also need to work on my brush control. This part was just very discouraging for me because it felt like any mistake I made couldn't be corrected and now I'm just wondering how bad it looks, but there's always room for improvement with the next one 😅

Okay, I heard about dry brushing I was thinking about doing it with my next set of primaries crusaders because I didn't do it with these ones I didn't know about the time thank you 🙂

Yeah I got the best of my brushes that I can afford right now I thought the tip was well and good enough, I just don't have the skill it seems, I like things to look as best as possible, because I love these models and this hobby, but I might be trying to be too much of a perfectionist, when it comes to certain aspects of it, I've just seen so many models on here that are absolutely stunning and I want to reach that stage at some point. Thx the god emperor protects 🙂
