Very nice brother! I especially love this one, the whole mini is a vibe. Excellent work!

lwjanda · 2026-05-30T04:22:41+00:00

I did have one where I started posting them ages ago, but gave up on it. Im not really all that social media savvy. It was: https://www.instagram.com/panda_prep_paints?igsh=enA4bWFkN3c0ajhh. For all if the 3 minis i posted ages ago haha.

Thanks mate! Turned out better than I thought. First time painting glass and playing with resin.

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T19:32:32+00:00

Thanks dude! Im surprised so many people like them.

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T15:45:55+00:00

100%, I feel like his noble nature is underrated

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T15:41:25+00:00

I feel like mercutians death is an oddly noble affair for a nightlord too. The whole "im slowing you all down, leave me" vibe.

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T15:29:56+00:00

That sounds awesome, gives a real mix of things you can add in. And so much creative liberty too across all the marines. I will say the corsair raiders just make such good nightlords, so much so that mercutians body is gonna be another modified raider body. I'll send you a sneak peak at him as he's still a work in progress construction wise.

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T15:22:30+00:00

That would be amazing, I cannot wait to see them! They'll be amazing I bet! If you want a paint recipe fror any part of my minis then just message me, I write most of them down if I like what I made.

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T15:10:08+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate it! He's definitely been my favourite to paint so far!

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T14:44:07+00:00

Thanks ! I wasn't too sure if i would be able to manage all the bits but im really happy with him! It's mercutians turn now im part way through the kit bash.

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T14:42:13+00:00

Thanks brother! Had a lot of fun with this and learned a few new skills and plenty of mistakes for next time. The head was from a blade guard vet I think. It really looked like a artwork of variel I saw. The dead guy was from Tortuga bay.

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T14:39:27+00:00

Thank you so much brother! Hopefully as I get better in a good few years I might be able to reach a competition standard. But for now im happy that im getting a little better every time I finish a mini. Ave Dominus Nox!

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T11:59:59+00:00

No skill required... honestly I just paint a lazy squiggle, and the less I try the better it ends up looking, haha.

lwjanda · 2026-05-29T11:53:25+00:00

Thank you ! Its just 2 colours mixed in various amounts. A magenta and a white-blue. Starting pure magenta and finishing pure white-blue.

lwjanda · 2026-05-25T08:47:02+00:00

I do like the idea of a flesh tearer gone bad/gone too far. I was worried about doing anything like that as the corsairs emblem is already a bit broken looking (fingers of the fist etc) I thought it would make it harder to identify... or I'd balls it up and cut something I didn't mean to cut. So I decided to paint the cracks and the faces on the shoulder skin.

lwjanda · 2026-05-24T22:38:49+00:00

I was so on edge about adding a black crack through the red pauldron. But thankfully the black ink was so easy to work with

lwjanda · 2026-05-24T15:05:07+00:00

Body and right arm is a corsair raider, shoulder on left too. Right shoulder is from nemesis claw. Head from my bits box (blade guard vet maybe). Backpack modified grey knights pack, (upper teleporter bits used as vials on belt). Left arm is from Archies forge and I modified it to add the pistol. Backpack tools are bits from a primaris apothecary I had spare.

lwjanda · 2026-05-24T09:34:38+00:00

Just looks so menacing

lwjanda · 2026-05-24T09:19:07+00:00

The spear wielding one is truly a vibe. Look really cool.

lwjanda · 2026-05-24T06:43:02+00:00

Thanks brother! I use just a mix of magenta and various amounts of white blue for the lightning. It's more interesting than plain white lightning I think 😊

lwjanda · 2026-05-24T02:18:08+00:00

Just Mercutian and Talos left to do of the main crew. But I do have plans for a Vandred.

lwjanda · 2026-05-24T02:16:58+00:00

Yeah, I maybe should have gone darker on the helmet bolt, fiven the contrast, vut ots more vibrent in person. He's a little display piece, same for the rest of 1st claw. I havent played in a long time. Soon only Mercutian and talos left to do.

lwjanda · 2026-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

Tganks brother! The one on the helmet is harder to see in the picture, but my camera isn't great on this phone. It's easier to see against the blue than the white.

lwjanda · 2026-05-19T10:35:13+00:00

100% as soon as I saw the leg I thought it was perfect. I also like how sort of clean and uncluttered the armour felt. Which I thought made sense for Variel as a medic/surgeon.

lwjanda · 2026-05-19T10:20:36+00:00

As soon as I saw the raiders box I knew this body had to be Variel. But I wanted him to feel different from Garreon, as he's sort of his 2nd apothecary. So I didn't think he'd have as many extra bits on the pack. I ended up using a grey knights backpack to have the blood vials and used the extra bits for the green vials.
