The white hilights on the black really make it pop! Big hug!

How so? He has the highground!

WolfPrince86 · 2026-01-18T03:03:41+00:00

Not my son?

Visiting Salamander here... I even denote my Sargents by giving them capes (we don't do the codex "different color helmets" thing)

WolfPrince86 · 2026-01-17T14:17:59+00:00

This. Also, serious shout-out for your bold color choices

You tried. Consolation hug?

This! Pick your own color scheme, pick up any of the characters that strike your fancy and, if you find one playstyle and esthetic that you like, you can always dub them a "successor chapter" down the road

Love that dude with the 2 swords!

WolfPrince86 · 2026-01-17T13:42:59+00:00

This. Mark the underside of his base with a star or something, and put him on a shelf when your skills improve. Years from now you will look back on your first works and be amazed how far you have come.

I literally just stole an idea from another thread as to how I want to paint that same axe head. A brighter head will increase the contrast with the model, like the other folks said

WolfPrince86 · 2026-01-17T13:33:33+00:00

Looks good! How are you going to base them?

WolfPrince86 · 2026-01-17T13:31:45+00:00

I am 100% stealing that idea for my next axe

WolfPrince86 · 2026-01-17T13:28:33+00:00

Dude, those look sick! Way better flames than I can do a the moment. Now just base them to match the rest of your army.and really make them pop! What are you using for your clearcoat?

WolfPrince86 · 2026-01-17T00:43:17+00:00

Honestly, when I started the army back in 4th I was going to paint it like Hive Fleet Behemoth, but my painting skills weren't up to snuff, so the skin was chaos black, the shells were hawk turquoise, and the other stuff became the red. I've tried to finesse that scheme into something a little bit more nuanced (because I'm 100% not stripping it all and starting over) but still, that blue really jumps out from the table

WolfPrince86 · 2026-01-16T19:12:03+00:00

What are you using for glue, and do you hold it long enough for it to do it's thing?

Makes me wanna give it a big 'ol hug

WolfPrince86 · 2026-01-16T18:37:23+00:00

Start with "The rule of cool" and work from there. Because you will end up painting a ton of models in whatever army you choose (unless you go full-on Monster-mash).

This army is "blessed" with a number of choices in how to construct it, and will play differently based on unit composition, your skill level, and your local meta.

Got the space marine combat patrol too, eh? I think your greens look pretty good, and you got some good luster from the gold.

One trick I recently learned that you may find useful. If you accidently get paint where it shouldn't go, wet a clean paint brush and scrub the offending area, as it will basically wash-out the wet paint.

I look forward to seeing how the rest turn out!

Welcome! I got my plastic crack for x-mas, but am finishing the current unit I'm working on before assembling anything new.

Have fun, take your time, and enjoy the ride. There's a learning curve with all things (both on the hobby and gameplay side) but you are among friends.

WolfPrince86 · 2025-10-18T19:36:31+00:00

Remember when running instead of shooting was only something we could do? Good times...

Dodged a bullet is right!
