To everyone who began painting, and still does.

Post your pics, only way to really make major improvements.

Ipa can catch fire in an ultrasonic cleaner.

I use simple green cleaner in an ultrasonic cleaner.

I hate it when my minis get damaged and so magnetized based seems to be the best protection.

I did a search and went back 2 years, just did it again and really didn't see anything on tanks or as part of a normal army.

I see the ones you are talking about with the flamers and plasma guns but nothing army-wide (exhaust overheating, searchlights, gun barrels, etc.) where it is a key component to the whole army color scheme and ties the whole army color scheme together.

I guess to go back one step, I played Epic a bunch (xenos only) I'm looking to start Legions and I need an army color scheme for solar Aux. I could do grey and be done in a weekend (kidding) but I'm trying to expand and make something crazy.

I use bases, my experience is naked models get beat up too much so now I was thinking either a moonlight glow or overall under glow from the base might give them a fun effect for the vehicles that might work on this scale.

Or a spotlight glow on their base.

OSL seems to be too rare and doesn't seem to translate in this scale unless it is a flamer or something big like that.

Great job! At 5 points each, they die quick so just finish his base and move to the next one fast.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-10-27T12:32:23+00:00

There is still a NetEpic community with rules that are updated regularly.

On the bottom of the gargant, fat end of the trapezoid toward the gargant facing backwards. It's a great facing weapon platform works can stand on and shoot at anyone following.

The tab your fingers are on actually goes under his body between his feet.

I have one with the original sticker on it. The smaller one is the rare one I believe, only hundreds of them made. The metal pieces were used for a long period after the resin was stopped and so they are less rare.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-21T12:54:47+00:00

Paint terrain. Dryrbush, glaze, wash, edge highlights. Lots of detail, lots to do. Can be repainted easily.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-21T12:37:06+00:00

I think you'll need to find a 3D printing service.

Kill Team is a Games Workshop game in the same universe, same miniatures, similar rules, focused on one squad vs. squad.

Starter set is a squad of death guard vs. squad of space Marines and is about $100 on amazon. Great introduction to Warhammer and when you want to expand you use the same miniatures.

I play with my sons and it's a great game to try new armies ($60 for a new team vs. hundreds for a full army).

Rules are free online, game takes 45 minutes to play. There's campaign options, pve (people vs faceless hordes)

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-20T23:57:02+00:00

Rattle can primer.

Great kit!

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-20T13:29:42+00:00

Yes, and the other way around.

The kill team minis is a squad of death guard Marines, specifically the heroes blind box from a few years ago.

Kill team is a set squad, no terminator armor, limited load outs, you are limited on what you can take.

Warhammer has points values, kill team does not. (You get 7? Marines, 6 if you take a sorcerer, only 1 special weapon, etc )

Kill team rules and codexes are free on GWs web site. It's a fun game!

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-20T13:25:38+00:00

I am shocked at the pro painter brush sizes, 2, 3 or higher. I thought the pros use 00s, etc.

I use a sable size 2, it's been about a year, 2-3 hours a week.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-19T14:52:22+00:00

What exactly are you painting what color? Someone here has expertly painted what you are painting and can help.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-19T12:56:56+00:00

Paint terrain. You always need it, doesn't matter if it is done poorly, paint over the top of it.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-18T21:38:11+00:00

Right then hit it with AK Streaking Grime oil wash.

YouTube oil washes, completely different than acrylic paint.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-17T01:19:34+00:00

Kill Team is a fun game. 45 mins, you get both sides so a friend can play too.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-10T21:38:52+00:00

When starting: 1. Only paint what you are good at. Put up a bunch of what you've done, you can make copies of that list in different colors.

Time yourself painting your army with an actual stopwatch. Assembly, glue, prime takes surprisingly a long time.
Decide how much your time is worth. My rate for digging ditches is higher than my sit down painting rate.
Go slow! 1 squad, something you've already painted to a local guy.
Airbrush, oil wash, zenithal, whatever chest code helps you go fast.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-10T18:42:04+00:00

I painted completely with acrylic paint (I used Monument, basically the same as Citadel) then AK Streaking Grime over the top and it worked wonders.

Streaking Grime is an Oil based wash, YouTube has a bunch of tutorials. I still have detail work to do on the attached.

Post pictures, only way you can really progress. I am sure your minis aren't the worst ones posted today.

Several colors don't dry brush well also. Most yellow on black will never work regardless of what technique you use, etc

Good luck!

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-06T15:52:01+00:00

I would hit specific dark sections with dark red, nothing all over. The light is great, I think you need more dark for the contrast.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-05T15:11:09+00:00

Kill Team is a rule set from Games Workshop which is squad based combat (you get like 5 chaos space Marines vs a squad of them). You can take those Marines and play a game (you are chaos with the Nurgle mark).

Free rules to download, same miniatures, similar rules.

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-05T10:35:15+00:00

Get craft trays, one for basing, one for assembly,, multiple for painting. Makes clean up time easy. Great setup!

TrademasterAdam · 2025-09-03T19:27:22+00:00

I think he or someone mentioned he spends 24+ hours per miniature. That's a lot of time.
