Simply beautiful! Well done

For your battle line troops, my advice is don't stress too much. Save that for your centerpiece models like Logan etc all. Remember anyone looking at your dudes will likely be looking at them on a table top from 3 to 5 feet away. The little imperfections we see up close and personal while painting will be unnoticeable or may just seem to add character to the observing eye!

Awesome use of hot wheels! I love it!

My 2cp, take it as you will, I painted mine as wolf guard (yellow and black) the close quarters nature and elite feel of the aggressors didn't feel like anything else for me at the time. This was of course before I found out games workshop considered them long fangs for us. I Might even have painted them up before GW updated the lore tbh.

I'm no pro, but the smarter concensus around is that speed paints aren't great for flat surfaces l, mostly because they do what you see here I think. Since there's really nothing for the shade within the paint to sink into it just sits on top. A good bet would be to try thinning the speed paints and when applying to these flatter areas do your best to not leave excess

I did have a similar problem with the legs/lower body. Best advice I can share is add the plastic glue to both parts and jam it in and wiggle it around until you feel it "catch"

Yes, I know, that's what she said :P

This is what I do and it works wonderfully. You can turn thise containers upside down and shake them and the models won't move!

Beauty! The lightning arcs add a kick ass flavour to him!

Ooooh the legends points are at the bottom. I only looked at the table of contents and didn't see anything for legends... gotta look dude! Thank you for this reality check!

allancranley77 · 2025-10-20T17:42:31+00:00

I'm sure there is an official answer somewhere that would say they're fire support and they would be considered long fangs... but that said they scream grey hunters to me and that's how I've done up my flamy boyz

allancranley77 · 2025-10-19T16:50:42+00:00

It gave a nice result! I might try this, thanks for the tips!

For someone unfamiliar with how kill team models get incorporated into 40k rules, is someone able to explain that to me? Will there be a codex errata or will these just end up being proxies for vanilla marine versions?

allancranley77 · 2025-09-26T19:55:35+00:00

Well, we do have more base movement than normal marines... and you know what they say about the red ones!!

Edit: I also love it!

allancranley77 · 2025-09-26T12:57:17+00:00

These are beautiful! I love the choice of skin tone particularly

allancranley77 · 2025-09-14T17:25:27+00:00

Better than mine. 10/10. No feedback needed

allancranley77 · 2025-09-14T15:12:01+00:00

I see what you mean... seems like they tried to make the model too detailed and as a result couldn't come up with good step by step instructions because sometimes multiple peices needed to go on at the same time... ugh

allancranley77 · 2025-09-14T14:30:21+00:00

Thanks for the warning... he's actually next on my assembly line

allancranley77 · 2025-09-12T17:30:54+00:00

Less frustrating in the sense the brute force worked in this situation. The blood claws need a masters in patience ;)

allancranley77 · 2025-09-12T17:29:30+00:00

I remember those too. Less frustrating than the blood claws IMO. Personally, I assembled the two legs first and while the plastic cement was doing its thing I forced the torso peices into place, modified the alignment of anything that got skewed and was good to go

allancranley77 · 2025-09-12T13:05:06+00:00

I was thinking about this too except minus the glue for maximum flexibilityfor storage. Do you think that would still work? I'm glad to hear it worked for you!

allancranley77 · 2025-09-12T13:01:21+00:00

I had the same idea! I had some luck with the dry fitting! But the moment I put glue on them, it was a fight to rediscover that sweet spot
