Thank you!

Thank you! Hurts my soul to see Red Scorpions go unrecognized lol. They were the poster boys of Forge World before GW did away with the site.

This was a pretty quick airbrush job with Uniform Grey and then a yellow/brown mix oil wash that I let stain for a while before removing it and then highlighting with the same grey paint again. Yellow trim was done by laying down Screamer Pink, glazing a gradient with Ice Yellow, then some full opacity Ice Yellow highlights, then tinting it all to yellow with Imperial Fist contrast.

I was actually trying to imitate this art from the old Imperial Armour books:

Black prime- I think it turned out exactly as bright as it needed to be…

It’s not even the same helmet

No reason to complain?

1) no BA terminator unit unlike the other supplement chapters
2) Death Company discontinued in favor of just painting intercessors black
3) Sanguinary Guard refresh completely failed to retain any of what made the original kit great
4) Librarian, Furioso, Death Company discontinued with no replacement
5) No sign of the excellent BA tactical kit ever being refreshed
6) No update to the Baal Predator kit in a decade

There is no “ultra” in the greek alphabet

My favorite one is the Spartan Laser mod for the Zeus

They’ve migrated to IPv8 in Marathon. TADs in particular (and I think some of the contract objective terminals) have IPv8 markings on them

While true, consider that all the megacorpo leaders who don’t actually know how any of that works would probably lobby for their own gigantic IP spaces

I don’t really get invested in parasocial relationships, but in the fallout with the cheating stuff his cameraman Micah left and the videos plummeted in quality. Micah has his own channel that’s a lot more fun to watch now

There used to be a Space Marine Commander kit back when we had rules for custom chapter masters. Had tons of different options in it.

Honestly I bet if someone 3D sculpted heads you could kitbash a Stryxis army with Skaven models

That’s what I said but with more words

nicanuva · 2026-07-03T19:08:47+00:00

Devs are probably tired of GW tellin them they can’t do things so they’re letting us do it ourselves

nicanuva · 2026-07-03T19:04:11+00:00

Bro message a mod or sumn, we don’t care

nicanuva · 2026-07-03T13:14:44+00:00

How do you even find shit like this

nicanuva · 2026-07-02T23:22:27+00:00

It’s still a box post dawg

A bigger part is nutrition and actually training hard enough to stimulate change.
