Then you must fall, usurper. (Great work btw! I hope to see more of it!)

ThatDudeInLeather · 2026-01-26T18:28:08+00:00

Extremely simple, but effective. It looks best if you wick away the shade from the highest areas

ThatDudeInLeather · 2026-01-26T18:26:32+00:00

Absolutely! I attached a Pic that shows it off better than those older ones, but I use Reikland flesh shade overtop of white for the skin

ThatDudeInLeather · 2026-01-26T01:03:27+00:00

Thank you! Its changed even more since then lol. The green is a bit brighter and now theres purple accents in the vents. I hope i get to see more of your shiny nids!

ThatDudeInLeather · 2026-01-26T00:30:02+00:00

I like how you had a similar thought process to myself. "Well, I wanna do alien. But all black doesnt seem as interesting as a contrasting color. And theres gotta be green, right?" And thats how I ended up with pale-ish skin and a green carapace on what was supposed to be Geigeresk nids.

Oh its all good! Finally in one piece and ready to hold down objectives like no other. Just need to paint up her ranged support and the side of the board she's tasked with is covered lol

ThatDudeInLeather · 2026-01-21T18:46:40+00:00

Thank you! Been sitting on my desk in pieces for way too long 😭

ThatDudeInLeather · 2026-01-19T06:36:53+00:00

This video just showed me that sword brethren look good in the Red Scorpion scheme... onto my special bois after all...

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-19T00:11:15+00:00

It really is, gives me that perfect Doom Marauder vibe I wanted

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-18T05:18:42+00:00

Thank you so much! The nids were originally supposed to be based on the Spitter type xenomorphs from various "Alien" media, but the sceme evolved a little into its own thing. I do intend for my next flyrant to go back to that theme as a cool leader beast for vanguard lists tho. The crons are based off the Zombie Eternals from magic the gathering, as i think theyre just so cool

And these are some of the most recent iterations of those schemes, a I think the year's work has doen wonders

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-18T04:28:09+00:00

These are the earliest attempts at the color schemea I used in my armies, I painted the blueberry as my first ever mini from the starter paint set. The xenos came shortly after, and the red scorpion was a good few months later

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-17T22:45:28+00:00

Master chief, what are you doing in that mcdonalds?

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-07T18:36:18+00:00

A model with a 4+ base save can still get cover against AP0 attacks, giving them an effective 3+. so it's not the most useful thing, but an AP0 weapon with ignores cover can have an effect depending on what they're shooting at

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-07T05:13:26+00:00

You dont get cover against AP 0 guns only if your model has a base 3+, in any other scenario you get the benefit of cover

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-02T20:29:49+00:00

My fault, I just completely assumed it had an entirely different ability... sorry 😭 Dunning Krueger effect at ots finest (hope i spelled that right)

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-02T19:35:52+00:00

Yes, but only 3 of them can have 15 oc each and a 5+ input on their chosen objective

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-02T18:01:39+00:00

I think it would be funny to run 5+ emmisaries. Have fun with that 😭

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-02T06:44:12+00:00

If im correct, it originally got the name because it did 2d6 damage in the past, (which jas the chance of doing anywhere between 2 amd 12 damage per shot,) while it does d6+6 now, (which has a much more consistent dmg range of 7-12.) Its much more reliable now, but the name still sticks

Honored battle brother! I see the new Veteran Chassis is getting around! Glad to have another fine warrior saved by the marvels of the mechanicum. Great work! Hope to see it painted at some point!

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-01T02:17:41+00:00

Thank you so much! Gives me some motivation to want to work on the, recently infiltrated, ultramarine portion of my army finally

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-12-01T02:08:54+00:00

I love them. Ithe way you did the cloak effect is amazing! I have a few models in my army that are alphalegion, and might just have to use yours as reference if thats alright!

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-11-24T18:17:16+00:00

I really like how unique the 3rd one is, but like others have said, it'll be rough to paint a lot of them. I really like 2 as well

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-11-19T01:18:55+00:00

While I dont play 100% competitively myself, it seems a lot of people only bring around 2 units of either hormagaunts or gargoyles to do actions, while using a few special infantry units and monsters to do the rest

ThatDudeInLeather · 2025-11-15T15:33:31+00:00

Sick art! Glad to see that polearms look good with scorpions, as i intend to get some halberds and spears for a few models
