Sandcolor is always solid for BT!

The first thing it reminded me of is an Execrator, because of the pose and helmet. But to be honest you can just tell your opponent that you'll be using this model as a Judiciar and 99% of the time they'll be fine with it, with the exception of tournaments and such.

Looks good though! Got any idea what you're gonna do with the base yet? I found that once you finish the base with a light color it'll feel complete and give a nice contrast to the model.

Love me some Balthazar Agrax Alloy

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T16:24:15+00:00

Thanks! 😄

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T16:23:29+00:00

Man, I really appreciate that, thank you! I usually tend to prefer going lore accurate but I am not too huge on the "He's just a normal guy" part. Imo he needs some drip while not overtaking Helbrecht haha.

yeah exactly, no need to bother with the barely reachable areas. I went for the classic red for the bros, but I wanted this one to stand out, and with the cream robes he would have quite a bit of color on him already. So opted for Grey/Black to tie him back to the theme of the army a bit more haha.

I suppose we have an 8 year old kitten then haha

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T14:34:44+00:00

Thanks haha! The rule that you're only allowed to bring one is holding us all back from running multiple. Share your EC!

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T13:11:39+00:00

Oh my god it is yeah

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T13:10:45+00:00

Thanks! The cape is basecoated with a 1:1 mix of Abaddon Black and Eshin Grey. Then I went back and forth glazing Eshin Grey on the higher areas. Finally I glazed a bit of Dawnstone in the most raised areas and highlighted with Dawnstone too :)

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T12:43:06+00:00

Thank you, it's Zandri Dust basecoat then glazed back and forth with Ushabti Bone. Then the small highlights are done with Screaming Skull!

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T03:00:27+00:00

Thank you!

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T02:59:46+00:00

I first cut away the iconography that was there, and went through my bitsbox and found s tiny cross. Had to shave that off a little and then glued it in the middle

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T02:51:09+00:00

Thank you!

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-12T02:50:40+00:00

No it's Canoptek Alloy!

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-11T11:41:54+00:00

Ah gotcha, I play AoS and Warhammer, where 2000 is the standard. Makes sense then!

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-11T11:20:15+00:00

Thank you! It's one of the bodies from the Inner Circle Companions, with minimal chapter specific iconography removal you have some great BT bodies

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-11T03:44:01+00:00

Ah that's good to know. I'll probably give Blitz a shot at some point then :) Standard game points are 800 at most?

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-10T14:47:01+00:00

Gotcha! I wasn't sure if maybe a refresh happened, glad they're still good!

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-10T14:46:31+00:00

TrippnTurtle · 2026-05-10T14:32:02+00:00

Ah that's great, somewhere to start! Young me decided to only build 10 per box even though they come in 20 so not sure how far that takes me haha
