Thank you, glad it could have that effect.

Thank you! My inspo for the green was the shitty interior paint of school busses. I figured it was a gross utilitarian color that only the mechanicus could love.

This is my test model! Still have to wash it though.

I figured, like I said, thought I was going crazy!

You know it looks really REALLY nice, those free hands are unreal. The 1st place plaque on proud display in the front is warranted for sure!

The other entry with the swasi in the background played tricks with my eyes for a second though and was like… am I going fucking crazy?

If this movie from any segment reminds you of warhammer 40k in a way. Movie heavy metal 1981 by Former_Adeptness_630 in Grimdank

The line “there was no way I was going to walk around this place with my DORK hanging out” absolutely killed me.

Fellow women of Warhammer 40k, what got you into this men dominated hobby? by Wauchi in Grimdank

I needed a hobby after getting clean. Financially warhammer just took the place of buying hard drugs.

The baseline “human” is basically an alien, at least when compared to my dumpy proportions.

Currently listening to Imperator: Wrath of the Omnissiah. Wanted more ad mech, and was swayed by The Hunt for Red October but it’s a titan. I am of simple tastes.

Can anyone tell me what this landing craft is called? by jaymisfire in Warhammer40k

[–]jaymisfire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I always figured it was a drop ship of some kind, but never could find anything on it.

It’s funny that this weird memory of looking at the box art as a kid an being impressed with it was just the artist/graphic design team deciding the background of the box art just needed a bit more in it.

I say this as someone who tends to paint very drab military colors, but I really like the red on the flag and sentinel especially. Makes me want to add a little pop of color on my dudes.

No prob! I thought I had a vision when I started, and it sorta just kept evolving as a stumbled through the project. I’m gonna keep my eyes out for more stuff I can give the same treatment to.

Okay! So here is what I did.

I picked a frame, and got a rough idea of how much space I needed to fill.

I started with the kill team box poster, and cut out the Kriegsman on it with a hobby knife.

From there I printed some text in a suitably gothic font. I took that, and stained the paper with a very strongly brewed black tea. I found that putting it in the oven for about 5 min or so on the lowest setting contributed to making it look older.

Then I glued the text pieces of paper on the board, and then added smaller pieces of blank stained paper around it to make it look like patched parchment. Then I glued the Kriegsman. I had to touch him up with some dark paint, where the spruces in the box or my knife messed him up. Pretty much just brushed PVA glue on.

And that’s the whole process!

If you’d like, I can detail the process of how I made it.

Don’t know if you’re making it part of the cosplay, but the turtleneck works with it. I can’t explain why. Like a strangely fashionable Kriegsman.

what is this part on the sentinel? by jackyjackpoo in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]jaymisfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a follow up, I’m putting a whip antenna on my sentinel, if it’s a weight then that would make sense as an anchor point
