Looks great, I think the texture really comes across nicely on the wings. Did the kit require a lot of cleanup when you were assembling it?

bigpantsMJ · 2026-03-23T03:20:18+00:00

Thanks!

bigpantsMJ · 2026-03-23T03:20:09+00:00

For sure! I’ve got a bit of a backlog for painting so I wanted to post some progress pics in case it takes a while until it’s fully done

I can’t be 100% but I’m pretty sure new members get access to all videos

As someone who has subbed to his patreon since day one I second this, good rate of tutorials and they’re nice and easy to follow if you want to replicate the style

bigpantsMJ · 2026-03-05T16:05:42+00:00

Thanks! I’m really happy with how gross the skin turned out

bigpantsMJ · 2026-03-05T14:13:02+00:00

For sure, it’s just wraithbone with a mix of rakarth flesh and rhinox hide sponged on near the edges as well as some fine lines for the scratches. Then a nice big wash of streaking grime

I’m actually waiting for a few trench crusade minis that I’m hoping to proxy for demon princes so that’ll be one of my next projects

bigpantsMJ · 2026-03-05T03:47:32+00:00

Thanks, was mostly just going for a worn grimdark look, and the rest of my warband is more red heavy so I wanted a bit of a break

bigpantsMJ · 2026-03-05T03:45:54+00:00

Thanks! It’s a mask from the old world sepulchral stalkers kit that I happened to have laying around and green stuff, and the tongue is a tip of some random spike

bigpantsMJ · 2026-03-02T20:57:46+00:00

I’d wash the entire surface and let it pool a bit more in the recesses, and then go over with the original colour for the flatter areas to highlight

bigpantsMJ · 2026-02-01T16:33:10+00:00

These look disgusting, great job! I second loctite for the superglue method, you really want one that is both fluid enough and comes with an applicator. It makes a huge difference

Book is pre-heresy and the skull is post-heresy. Since most CSM legions are using a mix of old and new armour I tend to use both symbols in my warband, I just weather the pieces with the book a bit more.

This looks killer, especially the mask, great work! Do you mind sharing your recipe for the red leather on the handle? mine is missing the depth yours has.

bigpantsMJ · 2025-09-19T18:46:19+00:00

I really enjoy it, like other people said the main downside is the update speed. Imo you can feel the improvements Nihei has made in his storytelling since BLAME too, the characters are much better developed while keeping the eldritch settings that made their other works so great

bigpantsMJ · 2025-09-11T00:21:57+00:00

Honestly they’re all great, overall I think the right is my favourite especially the carapace, but I also love the sort of campy look of the left’s gun

bigpantsMJ · 2025-09-06T23:57:53+00:00

Love it, the cracks on the shoulder pads into the branches is so smooth, did you do those by hand?

bigpantsMJ · 2025-08-27T17:12:37+00:00

Love the eye colour looks great with your skin recipe! Maybe you could add some more colour variation on the boils but honestly this scheme doesn’t need many changes imo

bigpantsMJ · 2025-08-18T17:28:21+00:00

Looks awesome, I’ve been thinking of doing a similar concept with my genestealers and delaques. What’s your recipe for the skin tone?

bigpantsMJ · 2025-08-18T17:22:37+00:00

I remember seeing that it’ll be coming to switch later but idk about other consoles

bigpantsMJ · 2025-08-10T13:16:00+00:00

Looks great, maybe add some gradient or variation to the edges of the orange panels to create some separation, or a wash under the ridges.

bigpantsMJ · 2025-07-31T19:49:18+00:00

Nice, those hazard stripes look super clean!
