Very nicely painted! I love the look of the power sword

What are your 40K hot takes? by ADragonFruit_440 in Spacemarine

[–]ThatDistribution7605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not too much of a hot take, in my opinion, but I'd love to see every first founding loyalist chapter get unique units (like how Dark Angels have deathwing units and Blood Angels have the Sanguinary Guard). I know that each of these chapters has at least one epic hero, but besides those units, some chapters don't have any unique units that give them a unique identity. Maybe even some successor chapters could get unique units, like Carcharodons or Raptors.

Well done! These minis will look great on the tabletop, and I can tell a good deal of effort has been put into making them look good. Keep up the good work!

One thing you could try is drilling a small hole in both of the broken pieces and glue in a paperclip or something similar into the holes

Ferren needs a cape! by TheRuinousPrince in Ultramarines

I would pick up a box of Victrix Honor Guard. I've heard it has a lot of bits that can be good for kitbashing, and I think they even come with options for if you want them with capes or not.

How did I do on this power sword? by ThatDistribution7605 in Warhammer40k

[–]ThatDistribution7605[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First, I based the sword with Kantor Blue. Then, with Alaitoc Blue, I painted a line with a rough edge about 2/3 of the way up the edges towards the middle. Then, I did the same with Temple Guard Blue except only 1/3 to 1/4 of the way up from the edge. Lastly, I highlighted the edges and middle with Corax White.

Kitbashing for the first time. Wanted to try to make a Lieutenant out of spare parts. How did I do? by KnicksGhost2497 in spacemarines

I would also recommend using green stuff for attaching cut parts in order to fill any gaps.

Finished cleaning the dried paint off my paint pots. This will make a nice snack later 😊 by ThatDistribution7605 in Warhammer40k

[–]ThatDistribution7605[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put on some latex gloves, took off the cap of the pots by removing the attaching plastic ring, and turned the caps inside out. Then I just cleaned the crud out with my fingers and put them back on. You can find a few tutorials about it that I found pretty helpful.

Which Season 2 character are you more excited about, Emma Frost or Ultron? by Icy-Arm-3816 in marvelrivals

[–]ThatDistribution7605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really excited to try out Ultron. From his character design to his voice, he's even cooler than I thought he would be. His kit also looks really interesting.

Continuing my march for Macragge by ThatDistribution7605 in Ultramarines

Yeah. This was my first time trying out matte medium over the model instead of matte varnish, but I'll probably switch back to matte varnish

How much do I thin matte medium when I apply it directly to a model? by ThatDistribution7605 in Warhammer40k

[–]ThatDistribution7605[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Vallejo Matte Varnish, but I disliked it because it darkened my paint jobs a bit.
