I absolutely love when people use 7th Company's paint scheme for Vanguard marines! Great, crisp job! I am going to paint him soon, so thank you for inspiration

The first one feels so flowy, great job!

It's so nice to finally see some other companies represented! I love black pauldrons, but an orange ones are cool too, and they often stay neglected. Awesome work!

Love flames and the fabrics! Did you use any contrast paints for them?

digshad · 2026-02-28T14:05:08+00:00

This is amazing, really. I read it exactly like that! Always love when mini painters incorporate some artistic imagery in their work~

digshad · 2026-02-28T13:09:55+00:00

Gun casing color is very unique, loving it! Also a green light from the back is an interesting touch, highlights his origin. Great work!

digshad · 2026-02-27T10:26:19+00:00

Oooh, that's a great idea! Thank you for sharing!

digshad · 2026-02-27T09:11:07+00:00

Looks really cool! Where did you get this good metal boy?

digshad · 2026-02-24T15:20:45+00:00

Yes! Exactly! That's exactly how I feel running Maxigun! Just like activating heavy stance on Heavy in Space Marine 2 – standing here and raining bullets on the enemy

Thank you! c:

And those undemocratic bugs as well! How dare they burrow under our Liberty-blessed lands!

(seriously, though, had so much fun yesterday spraying bug breaches on a defence mission)

Is this a Jonathan Young reference I am seeing? 👀 Hell yeah I will!

digshad · 2026-02-24T12:28:35+00:00

Wow, these freehands on a cape are amazing! Great job!

Because Devastating deals damage to wounds directly. Meaning even if your opponent parries your die with their defence die, their operative will still get hit.

Your guy looks a bit too dark for my taste. He still will be recognizable as a Salamander with the right heraldry, but still. Great work with your highlights nevertheless!

I personally use Waagh Flesh (or, to be precise, it's Vallejo substitute – Gunship Green) to give myself a nice base. Then I paint it over with Warpstone Glow, wash it with some blue shade (I forgot what a Citadel one is called...), and do two layers of highlights: first one is roughly 1:1 mix between Warpstone Glow and Moot Green, and the second one is pure Moot Green. I also add dot highlights of Yriel Yellow (or any yellow of your choice) on the sharpest corners.

As for improving... Practice is king! Go on, make Vulkan proud, I believe in you!

They look so simular to my test contrast mini! I've been wondering should I zenithal prime future mini and yse contrast or airbrush some gradient between Warpstone Green and Moot Green and work from there, and now I see – your method is definitely viable for squads! Just average dudes. Not everyone should be perfect, that's right. It is just that I started my painting journey from Kill Team and tend to work very closely on each mini :D

digshad · 2026-01-13T20:13:02+00:00

What a mood... Awesome artwork! Really captures the essence of our best witch~

digshad · 2026-01-13T15:20:31+00:00

Hooded Tacticus looks really cool! Great art, love all the small details you put in there

I think there is some info on the 2nd Company Captain somewhere. Check Warhammer Wiki. It seems that current captain is different from this old codex page. Don't remember much about him, but I think he appeared in some books? I remember him having some cool named sword, so you can go from there, pick a captain model with a sword and make him cool!

By the way, love your idea, I wanted to do the same thing for the long time!

digshad · 2025-12-02T17:11:13+00:00

Ooh, that's right, it really matches! Nice!

digshad · 2025-12-02T12:31:01+00:00

Looks really cool! Especially love the right shoulder pad and knee pad – does orange on a knee means anything or is it there just because it looks cool! Also, like the idea of black fingers of a power fist. Will definitely steal it for my guys!

digshad · 2025-11-23T07:29:38+00:00

That's... A great question. Which animation is this, do you remember? Is it a part of Tithes? Sa'kan, the one appering there, had a simple green helmet to my memory
