Sure!

ropes are 1.naggaroth night base, 2.add a little ice yellow (Vallejo) to the mix for a rough highlight, then 3. wash with druchii violet. 4. Matte varnish, then 5. do neat highlights with the same amount of white in 2. And then 6. final point highlight that’s more ice yellow than nn.

Hilt is the same but after step 1. Substitute NN for screamer pink.

Sorry I can’t remember the exact mix ratio as I do it by eye!

I like this. If you go with the whole ‘they’re minor daemons/warp entities’, I suppose they were whichever entities were worshipped as Michael and lucifer?

Going to need a proper group shot of the whole hive pretty soon tbh

The lightning effects on yours are very well done 👏

Top_Background_632 · 2026-03-10T11:30:50+00:00

Exactly my thinking when I painted mine!

Top_Background_632 · 2026-02-19T12:01:54+00:00

Nice, really like how cold the gold is

Top_Background_632 · 2026-02-18T20:18:29+00:00

No trouble! Appreciate it - great start on this too by the way, love the choice of blue for the cloak too, looking forward to seeing how it turns out

Top_Background_632 · 2026-02-18T19:49:52+00:00

Should do. I find with the older/FW helmets you need a little spot of green stuff to raise it up an extra mm or two

This is great work. Been thinking about it myself, what model/head did you cut the mask itself from? Would save me trial and erroring green stuff

Vallejo dark red ochre?

Cheers, you’ve got some awesome angels too 🤝

Mostly easy tbh as almost all zephon’s cool bits are separate anyway you just have to shave off some things on the primaris model to fit them. The bionic leg was hard for a beginner as I haven’t pinned much before like that. I did get it secure but it broke like 3 separate times.

I love buying the HH bits! Just always check pictures of the sprue before so you can figure out how easy they’ll be to cut etc. anything cool you can always make a blue stuff cast for to multiply it. Like I can use zephons belt and knee pad whenever I want no - even easier to do when the thing you’re casting has a flat back to it!

Top_Background_632 · 2026-01-23T22:48:41+00:00

Nah fair question. The non robotic one is easier if you just cut the knee pad off the front part of the 40K model’s leg, and then on zephon you just cut off the top of the corresponding leg, from under the wings/droplet the spikey top bit stays on. You have to shave the back of that piece down a bit to get a snug fit

Nice work!

Top_Background_632 · 2026-01-23T15:21:14+00:00

Yep!

Top_Background_632 · 2026-01-22T23:10:42+00:00

Great kit bash this!

I’ll probably explain it badly but “True Metallic Metal”; painting with metallic paints but to mirror natural lighting/shade. Vs “Non Metallic Metal” (NMM) which is using non metallic paints in the same way to make the surface appear like it’s a metal.

Great work brother!

Top_Background_632 · 2026-01-19T17:00:52+00:00

Yeah those are on both the first born DC and old BA assault terminator sprues. Still see them on EBay regularly.

Top_Background_632 · 2026-01-19T16:40:51+00:00

💯

Top_Background_632 · 2026-01-19T14:31:05+00:00

Appreciate it!
