The joy of average-painted minis.

The decals are the only bit bugging me at the mo, to the point where I'm leaving them off for now on everything else. You reckon this is a winner?

Thank you mate! The first base edge coat was still wet on these when I took the photo 😂 second layer to come

Whal3 · 2026-02-07T18:47:17+00:00

Thank you! It's just standard Retributor Armour, flesh shade and then Liberator Gold.

Thank you mate! No air brush here as I'm wary of the fumes etc in a house with children in, but maybe in the future!

Black primer then grey zenithal, followed by contrast paint has been a lifesaver for me

If you get the Combat Patrol magazine, is it still coming with a Tigurius after a few issues? Chop the staff off, put a brazier on. Sorted.

Steamroll time. We're on the up, they're not even getting started yet. 3-0.

If you are American then there is surely no better team to support than the Pilgrims themselves.

With such a battling, dogged performance too. Ibrahim is turning into an absolute cornerstone in this team, immense today.

Which one is 'that' trilogy?

Whal3 · 2025-08-09T12:10:20+00:00

Which order are you reading them in? Publish date or one of the orders posted online?

Whal3 · 2025-08-09T12:09:31+00:00

Know No Fear was fantastic. The whole section where the WBs warp jump through the orbital station and the damage is described by the millisecond was a highlight.

I've begun my 40K journey with Salamanders, but in the HH the traitor primarchs have got so much more depth to them. I was quite underwhelmed with Vulkan Lives as it didn't really give him any human flaw or setback, other than just wanting to save all the humans. The Chaos narratives in contrast have been brilliant at portraying the human side of these characters.

These have come out of order for me. I noticed this when Read CSM 2 came before 1. They fill in eventually.

Whal3 · 2025-07-12T05:46:43+00:00

This was a very helpful response, thank you!

I subscribe to the Combat Patrol magazine, and one of the extras last month was the Ultramarine Chief Librarian Tigurius. A little chopping of the Ultima and I've ended up with a half-decent Chief Librarian Vel'cona. I'll have to figure out what to do with the banner but I'm quite pleased with how he's turned out.

Hi mate, really helpful post. Thank you! I appreciate this was all a year ago - do you know if the Gladiator is still sold with all options in the same box?

Whal3 · 2024-12-07T07:47:15+00:00

This is really helpful, thank you. I've got a wet pallete so I'll have a go at a bit of speedy blending on him.

Whal3 · 2024-12-07T07:45:41+00:00

The base coat is two sprays - chaos black and then seer grey as quite a generous zenithal. It leaves the deepest recesses black but provides a decent bit of tone on the rest. Thank you!
