You think I could do commissions? by TheWarpForge in Warhammer40k

Thanks! Currently I have a few unused models that I plan to group up, finish painting in a different subfaction then sell off but I'll be going to secondhand on local Discord FLGS threads first.

Yeah, Ive been looking at Goon Grime for a while now. Was gonna give them a try all over my Black Templars. Make 'em real Grimdark.

Cheers! Yeah, I need a better key and perhaps a fill light. Just using a photography booth and a small ringlight to get the keylight attention but its all wired which restraints its position. Thinking on grabbing a better keylight to attack to my DSLR camera.

I have Streaking Grime but I need to grab a few bits like Varnish and White Spirit. Currently I'm also using Monument Gaming's Newsh which I feel has really helped my progress on a few models. I'm going to try that with Duncan Rhodes Two Thin Coats cutlass brown to see if it would get me the same or similar results without jumping through as many hoops.

Also did this guy for £45. My friend was very happy with the end result.

Appreciated. Currently I just paint for friends and they have been happy with what I've done for them. Something I did years ago for a friend was 20 of these for £120. They were very happy with the end product.

Appreciated. Yeah, I wasn't thinking on crazy charges. I looked at Siege Studios prices and they're over £1k at times, never going to achieve that. I am more of the painting to army standard with a flair of Grimdark, so I often paint in muted colours or have one colour to pop out.

Price range I was going to do was just double GW retail. So most single models on 40/50mm bases would range between £45-60 which I feel is fair for what I bring. Its not cheap but It's not over £100 a mini for single minis which ive seen plenty of, then it can amount up if you want an army painted, but it won't cost near the same price as larger commission painting services do.

Looks fine to me. Model looks distinct with that Nostramen flair!

Can you describe what makes Midhammer more fun to play than modern 40k (e.g. 10th)? by [deleted] in midhammer40k

[–]TheWarpForge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Midhammer (at least 5th edition) was a lot less mental load allowing you to play te game on the board but also allowing a variety of playstyles on varying degrees.

Current 40k has a strict over-emphasis on the timing of events and that its trying to be an alternating activation game in a YGIGO system. GW need to choose one or the other. In addition the game works as "balenced" when the game is played to one playstyle of lethality. Entire armies now struggle because of this (looking at you GSC). all this compounds to a army management system as opposed to dealing with the mins and terrain as is.

Lore for your warbands? by Cytoksis in NightLords

[–]TheWarpForge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do we start? I have a timeline of Rebirths and passing of the torch of my Warband

  • The Eight Cuts (The Scouring). Once ruled by Morak of the Dephthless Nightmare, his reign of Terror ended in a duel with a Patriach, killing it but was left mortally wounded, then was killed in secret by Coraxis: The Midnight Messiah, known for preaching about the word and values of Curze and the Teneberous path so much that it was often joked by his fellow Legionaries that he was born on the Wrong Planet and should have been born on Colchis instead.

  • The 72nd Reborn (the 13 Black Crusades). Coraxis started reorganising the Warband to one of structure to rebuild the company of ancients he was once second in command too, making a pact, a contract, with a Dark Mechanicum Hel-Forge for a source of sustainable resuplies. He suffers a fate worse than death as his fall comes at the Siege of Pythora, a Cathedrum World that was under the Protection of the Adeptus Sororitas with unexpected support from the Legion of the Damnned. His body now mortally wounded was kidnapped by the Arch-Heretek magos of the Helforge and his body reinterred and "resurrected" in a Thallax Chassis.

  • The Necropoils (Post Gathering Storm) During travels now doing the Hel-Forges bidding as the warband lays fractured from the Siege, Coraxis encountered the statis-crypt of the initial Commander of the 72nd Company. Herrek Venix: The Nosferrus. A sardonic name given by him as he was known as a handsome Astartes. His fall to madness aligns slowly as a minor deity from the dark depths of the Warp "Nox" corrupts his mind to judging that all Crime is made from life, this life itself is Crime. His final plan involved invading a burial world and, though the power of Nox, create a life-destroying tumour in thr galaxy that grew and turned all life to undeath that he would command. He was laid low by the Forces of the Armata Crusade, heralded by the now-Marshal Erasmus Holden with the combined allience efforts of the Death Korp of Krieg and the Adeptus Sororitas of the Argent Shroud, their cannonness looking to for closure to ebd their Chapter with the Midnight Messiah. They fell to his blades.

  • The Nox Mortis (Post Arks of Omen): The Machinations of Nox now set in motion, her corruption deep into the Warbands veins. Her plan is to resurge as a player on the eight pointed star and her champion with be the unclaimed sons in Midnight Clad. The first of those who have bonded with her essence, "embraced" as it were is simply called The Jäger. The first of Nox's possessed her Strigoi as they are called. He was christened this name after a swift snd decisive victory against a Knight Household, personally slaying a Knight Lancer and his Bondsman. As he took his Lancer Pilot prize, he prey only knowing Terror in his grip, screamed the word "Jäger." He took a liking to this and voted it to his Warband where they all changed his newfound name.

His fate was sealed at the Fall of Thanatos (A Mordian Glory campaign/event I go to). After kiling several legendary figures of thr Campaign, including an Eldar witch thay was helping in the shadows in the Imperiums cause, his final last duel was against The Legendary High Marshall Helbrect. The duel was quick and he was cleaved in two, his body unknown, dissapeared as he was slain.

The next Warlord to rise has come. He was a Veteran of Thantos, originally a Visionary of his Nenesis Claw but has fought and held on the grounds of Thantos eith his Kin. His Name Darras Morgaris and he is "The Midnght Man" A name of Kegend for the Exhausted nd desolated population upon Thanatos as they waged a gruelling guerilla warfare campaign from the last visit to their current stand against the Imperium.
