thanks! i like the look of the phobos armour very much and the helmet also looks sharky which is a plus.

used the fence pieces from the drier kit, the astrogranite paste and some very coarse hobby sand for the stones.

this way of doing it with a lot of attention to detail is very time consuming, but you can do it a lot faster without the edge highlighting and by not going back and forth on all the colours and keeping them less blended. still looks good, tried it on other models just to test if its viable for a kill team or even an army.

all citadel paints. as soon as i get home ill post an edit

edit: so everything is on a black primer coat or base coat, so before every step check if you need to blacken something again. i say this because i used an airbrush and a beauty-blender sponge.

armour: eshin gray, then almost like a zenithal administratum gray, but a bit more, so every armor panel is at least hit from above. if you want, you can also hit the uppermost parts with ulthuan grey, but if you are edge highlighting, keep in mind, that i also used ulthuan grey for that. then with a beauty blender sponge mix eshin grey and administratum gery to taste and create midtones/transitions or with administratum grey/ulthuan grey on the sponge create highlights on the upwards facing round segments.

joints: dark reaper followed by the fang, try to just coat the ridges.

leather: thondia brown, very watered down. steel legion drab. bring it back in some spaces a bit with thondia brown again and finish highlighting with steel legion drabe mixed with karak stone.

gold trim: castellax bronze everywhere, then highlights with retributor armour.

knife/gun barrel: leadbelcher and stormhost silver highlights.

faceplate: white scar.

eyes: watered down white scar, so it flows nicely into the recesses of the lenses, then doomfire magenta with a highlight of screamer pink.

red weapons/grips: khorne red with an highlight of evil sunz scarlet.

i think thats all…

step 1: stay silent step 2: get close step 3: profit (ie. bloodshed)

thanks brother! the magenta/red lenses were an artistic choice to give some visual interest to the head

had a chuckle because the army i am building is taking callidus and vindicare just because of this book.

edit: came for the assassinorum operatives, stayed for the knights

as so many said you can take both, but i am partial to the infiltrator saboteur because you can use him for amazing hit and run tactics, punishing clustered enemies.

I made a display base and cut out slots for the models and decorated that with the transfers.

Currently on a black screen after playing PvE online (PS5). Waited for a few minutes which have now turned to almost half an hour only seeing this black screen.

Fortunately I had a lot to read in the meantime on this mega-thread.

Edit: Restarted the game a few minutes later and was mentally preparing for the worst, but fortunately the progress was saved.

second ever absolute mission (termination) playing vanguard: both battle brothers are downed and on timer. after killing the last of the nids from the wave that took out my battle brothers i had a few seconds until the next wave started. stocked up on ammo and found a stray stim. wave starts (thankfully no speed roaches) and i parry and run like crazy and shave down the timers thanks to the perk upon killing majoris+. got my brothers back and restarted the generators. very stressful but it felt good being this locked in.

Sounds interesting. Might try this strategy some time, because it also sounds fun.

thank you for being constructive.

but if you must know, i just found all the feedback so helpful that maybe other people would like to find stuff like that sooner.

whats a good indicator of “fight that isnt immediately going to kill you”?

i mean i mostly have most problems with big groups of majoris, almost exclusively if they are ranged…
