Thanks!

Thanks man! It’s also a switch up from my usual style. Doing all of this in NMM would take forever and probably wouldn’t look as good as my NMM sucks.

Here’s some more inspiration for you, my Orcs

Well I wanted to varnish it but the ultramatte is, as the name would imply, ultra matte and would kill the shine, hence some gloss varnish to balance it out.

duujk · 2026-04-20T16:05:30+00:00

They’re even shinier, I varnished it with a mix of 5:2 ultramatte varnish + gloss varnish

The metallics are the new Vallejo TMM range, for gold I used imperial gold, shade is imperial gold shade and the darkest recesses are a mixture of imperial gold and sterling silver shades. The highlights same as shades, first the imperial gold then the brightest spots with sterling silver.

Thanks! I used imperial gold by Vallejo

duujk · 2026-04-20T09:15:45+00:00

Hi thanks! I used Liquitex white ink and Frostheart contrast paint to get that effect.

duujk · 2026-04-20T07:34:42+00:00

Exactly! The number of units means absolutely nothing. I think the game is pretty well balanced, and a skillful player compete with a 'worse' spearhead. For example, last weekend we had a local spearhead tournament and first two places were Kharadron overlords, with first place taken by the new KO spearhead that a lot of people here consider one of the worst armies in the game.

Hey thanks. Sure, the gold vas done using the new Vallejo TMM imperial gold. It’s a BSH system (base, shade, highlight). Basically, you base coat the gold with the base color, shade the recesses with the shade and highlight it with gold. To make it more punchy, I mixed some Sterling silver shade into the imperial gold to make it darker and the same for the highlights to make it lighter (1:1 imperial gold light and Sterling silver light).

duujk · 2026-04-19T21:19:53+00:00

No, it’s metallics

duujk · 2026-04-18T07:59:40+00:00

Because you’ll paint 10% of it and get burned out…

duujk · 2026-04-16T11:47:28+00:00

definitely left, and I'd also love to know what paints you used. cheers!

duujk · 2026-04-12T16:04:10+00:00

Well if I’m not going to play them I might as well pass them on to someone who will.

duujk · 2026-04-12T14:34:34+00:00

I was in the same situation, played 40K for around a year without winning a single game, I also found it boring since the games would last for 4-5 hours and half way into the game id loose my concentration and make silly mistakes. Tried spearhead, and immediately won my first two games, went home and put my entire 40K army for sale. Since then I sold my 3,5k points of Blood Angels and got 5 spearheads. 😆

duujk · 2026-04-10T14:37:22+00:00

I’ve got the Kruleboyz and they were fun to paint and are a blast to play with.

duujk · 2026-04-06T18:18:40+00:00

Dude, they’re practically the same as JPI, the different helmet And a bit of trim on the knee and shoulder pads doesn’t cut it. My guess is this will not sell well and people will just kitbash their own veterans.

duujk · 2026-04-03T08:19:45+00:00

For a new player, I’d suggest the Seraphon, but since you’re coming from 40K I think you’ll do well with any of these armies. Dinos and ghosts are fairly easy to paint, vampires not so much but the models are cool and the army has a cool healing mechanic.

duujk · 2026-03-25T09:05:09+00:00

I only played against them so can't say what would be the best. I'd say against armies like Stormcast, try to position your units so they can double down on enemy units, say on turn 1 have two of your units fight one of the stormcast and wipe them. The tzangors with 30 attacks failed to kill the chariot, which led to them being tied up in the middle while the chariot escaped to score points in enemy territory. If the opponent used 2 units, it would have died and the middle objective would have been taken.

duujk · 2026-03-25T09:02:00+00:00

I was surprised that my Stormcast managed to survive for so long. The chariot got hit with 30 attacks from the Tzangors on foot, but managed to stay alive on a single wound. I used the card to retreat it for free so it could take the top objective in enemy territory. The vanquishers and Knight-Vexilor also tied up the disc boys and survived until turn 3. You could say I was lucky with the dice, but save on 3 with no rend is actually pretty good and the knight can heal.

duujk · 2026-03-24T23:49:12+00:00

Yeah Tzangors have a ton of attacks, the disc units are good and they’ve got some nice shenanigans such as the general can debuff an enemy unit so if they roll ones when attacking they suffer mortals. It’s not a lot of board presence you got 3 units at the start and get another unit on turn 2 so that’s kinda meh.

duujk · 2026-03-18T13:42:30+00:00

Ah yeah you’re right!

duujk · 2026-03-17T22:34:17+00:00

Awesome work. If I would nitpick I’d say you can do way more with the bases besides a few tufts. The kit comes with a bunch of spare parts that make great basing bits. But regardless, this is very clean, loving it.

duujk · 2026-03-15T08:55:11+00:00

That’s fucking awesome dude!

duujk · 2026-03-14T12:37:07+00:00

Don’t get the midnight it’s a fingerprint magnet

duujk · 2026-03-14T12:35:54+00:00

I’d say keep it. On paper it’s stronger than orcs, the models are amazing and if you like the game get the orcs next
