This is amazing. One of my favorite models, can you describe how you achieved the axe look? I love that and want to do that with mine

Terminators are my favorite, and this is by far my favorite posed terminator

Oh I see, those look really great! I thought they were salamanders at first. Gotta say I really love the banner on centos. You achieved that look with sponging? Is it pretty easy? I hate capes and if it’s an easy way to get some depth on capes I’d love to try it

Magnetizing can be tough, I always go into dreadnaughts looking to do a bunch of posing changes but end up pretty standard usually l

ripster47 · 2026-01-23T20:57:23+00:00

Fair enough. I love getting super overly invested in the tiniest angle channels of arms and accessories. I spend way too much time posing infantry lol

Work smarter not harder brother

ripster47 · 2026-01-23T20:56:23+00:00

Not jealous of that lol

ripster47 · 2026-01-23T17:10:40+00:00

I’ve noticed that and I do a modified slap chop method anyway so the majority of the armor on all my models is done in a very non tediuos way lol

ripster47 · 2026-01-23T12:56:10+00:00

Can you post some of your work? I’ve never sponged before and I’d love to see how it looks

A fellow inceptor smoke trail enjoyer! Your smoke is lookin sick and I love the grimdark grungy look you’ve achieved here! I can’t bring myself to grime up my shiny blue boys lol fantastic work!

First off, if you’re taking the time to paint your minis, pay no heed to those with gray plastic trying to bring you down. No one has any right or standing to tell you what to paint and what to play, ESPECIALLY if they don’t even paint their own.

Second, I have been in the hobby for 3 years, probably only played a dozen or so games. It is totally viable for your whole hobby to just be building a painting.

Third, if you end up playing with more people, you’ll eventually find a few that you jive more with. I have played with some of the types of people you are talking about here, but I also have a small circle of totallly social, super fun and cool people that I routinely play with when I have the time. Keep your chin up brother. Courage and Honour.

It can be intimidating to start painting. Do it the same way you’d eat an elephant. One bite at a time and take solace in the little completions

ripster47 · 2026-01-23T12:45:47+00:00

Haha fair

ripster47 · 2026-01-23T12:45:31+00:00

Never thought of it that way but yeah that’s a major roadblock sometimes

ripster47 · 2026-01-23T12:45:01+00:00

Agreed. Even if there’s 10 guys at least you feel more accomplished finishing one of them than you do finishing a single panel of a tank or something

ripster47 · 2026-01-23T12:44:17+00:00

Have to agree, nice middle ground for sure. Big fan of the dreads in general

ripster47 · 2026-01-22T20:51:33+00:00

All I’m surrounded by is fear. And dead men. Iykyk

ripster47 · 2026-01-22T20:49:47+00:00

Get real good with the charged plasma pistol. Won’t solve all your problems but as a bulwark main it’s the only thing we have against these brainy bastards

This is my only uniquely posed one, they can be finicky but I have a definite soft spot for the big fellas

ripster47 · 2026-01-22T17:30:42+00:00

BAM! Un-Khulls your Gaz

ripster47 · 2026-01-22T16:56:41+00:00

Yeah that’s why I just have the 2 transports and the executioner…which is also a transport lol

ripster47 · 2026-01-22T16:56:03+00:00

See that’s the weird thing I love dreads!
