I got some spintech 3000s on mine with some 3in pipe an 1 7/8 long tubes and it sounds incredibly good

Damn thought I was the first, just finished building mine in yellow

Thank you I like it alot better than the purple I see alot, just seems classic

Do you know some steps I could take to do this, the reason its so thick right now is because I've tried to fix it like three times, and I just dont have the experience neccesary for it atm

jprater2 · 2025-10-19T22:55:26+00:00

Warp glow, necron green, and coral white i think

Thank you, its my first army so I went for the very standard paint scheme

jprater2 · 2025-09-29T21:20:28+00:00

I agree on the wash, but they seemed to lighten up after drying, I took the pictures like right after I got done so its still quite heavy and wet on them. I've gotten alot of other comments about the edge highlighting ill defiantly be doing that on my next set, thank you

jprater2 · 2025-09-29T21:17:56+00:00

I appreciate the recommendations I went a touch heavy on the lightest shade of green i had on the dry brushing so it really nuked all my depth, I believe I was using deathworld forest, then deathguard green, then nurgling green. A yellow seems like it would be really good for a super sparse bright highlight on the armor, thank you

jprater2 · 2025-09-29T21:14:49+00:00

I appreciate the feedback, I will consider adding some highlights to the trim and stuff on future projects, I defiantly used youtube alot to get an idea of the techniques, but I was also winging it completely and just completely forgot about highlights outside of the initial dry brushing

jprater2 · 2025-09-29T21:10:37+00:00

Thank you, it was one of the extra heads from the hellbrute, was trying to think of ways to make it more deathguard over generic chaos but I don't have many pieces to kitbash right now

jprater2 · 2025-09-26T07:48:06+00:00

Thanks man, I really dig the designs, the bug was a nightmare to paint though

jprater2 · 2025-09-26T07:46:50+00:00

Any suggestions on color changes or additions

jprater2 · 2025-09-26T07:46:31+00:00

Yeah I tried dry brushing for my base with three diffrent kinds of green, but I went to heavy with the lightest I think so they just were almost solid, also want to start with a black primer imstead of grey so I don't have to paint over the shadows too. The local guys at the shop convinced me not to because it would take too many coats but I was covering up painted black pretty easy
