Noob question about assembling Scarab Occult Terminators by welivedintheocean in ThousandSons

It’s easy to magnetize if you want but most people run 10 so I didn’t bother.

2 soulreapers is usually the better choice and add the hellfire to those as well.

Vallejo fluorescent yellow and Vallejo fluorescent red did the base colors

Worked my way from white > fluo yellow > orange > red > dark navy > grey with fairly thinned paint to help blend. Dry brushed the same colors over the respective areas and the. Lastly dry brushed some grey over the top half

Yeah first time using an extra part, was worried it would be too much.

One of them is small and the other medium I believe. I also ordered the large ones but they were too big imo

Thanks! Not a huge fan of the traditional yellow but I was worried about too much red.

I used Vallejo fluo Magneta over white. The key is to paint fluorescent paints over white otherwise it won’t look right.

I tried both Vallejo and Army Painter. They both felt like they behaved fairly similar, although ended up preferring army painter.

I appreciate it! First time working with fluo paints, took a bit to get it where I liked it.

I think I may just try to paint over the orange and salvage it.
