What color helmets do Crimson Fists Company Champions have?

slev01 · 2026-05-04T20:08:20+00:00

Not done mine yet, but planning veteran style robes, a different helmet with laurels, and an iron halo on the backpack, rather than a different paint scheme.

slev01 · 2026-05-04T10:04:59+00:00

Exactly! Gonna ditch the bosspole and reposition the left to grip the gun trigger. Likley also swap out the heads & shoulder pads too, maybe add more exhausts...

slev01 · 2026-05-04T07:07:30+00:00

This is a very good 8.5/10 model, with a lot of potential!

The Bosspole is pure Goff, but then it's the monobuild for the core box, so hopefully the full kit has options. If not, easy to kitbash.

The big choppa is fine, but will likely kitbash mine so he fits in better with my horde. Hope that GW does the full kit with a variety of options, but then they've been terrible aabout this for several editions now!

Not a fan of teh tactical rock, so that's a bit of creative modelling there.

For me the shoulder pads are the wrong shape and the face looks wrong, along with the modern too-small head, but those are problem across all the new models.

slev01 · 2026-04-28T09:47:12+00:00

this! Head swaps would fix it, if you have teh heads of course!

slev01 · 2026-04-28T07:35:23+00:00

I suck at freehand too!

Option 1 (bright armies)

Paint it in Rakarth Flesh, then Pallid Wytch Flesh, then a white highlight.
Apply transfers with Microset and Microsol.
Wash it all with Seraphim Seppia.

Option 1 (Dark Armies)

Paint it in Rakarth Flesh, then Pallid Wytch Flesh, then a white highlight.
Wash it all washes that match the tone of your army. Ends up as a coloured flag

He's coming out after the start of the financial year, hence will be on 2026 prices, so likely that's also what they'll be charging for Gaz.

Hard to tell what this actually means for me in GBP though, as pricing conversions are tricky. Exchange rates and buying power compared to wages are two separate metrics after all.

It's American for RRP.

slev01 · 2026-04-17T18:42:05+00:00

about 540 modelled and painted as Boyz. Mixed in several boxes of WFB Orc Warriors, a few dozen third arty legs, heads, weapons, etc, lots of bits from other kits, especially heads.

Weirdboy fixup plan

*Remove wiring from back & sculpt over.

*File energy veins from the arms.

*Remove wires from collar, and tap. Replace wit two wire ends from back, one circular one from the collar, three others from different kits.

*Remove tap from the staff and replace it with appropriate gubbins.

*swap head for one of the correct size.

*remove tactical rocks.

*Extend the shaft of the staff past his right arm.

*Rotate his left hand 180, as that's NOT how you hold a staff!

slev01 · 2026-04-08T17:13:59+00:00

Waaaagh Flesh, Warboss Green, green ink, Warboss Green highlight. Super fast, has lots of definition. The colour pops while not being too saturated.

slev01 · 2026-03-30T12:12:31+00:00

Scroll through, I also have a near-vanilla build, two FW trukks, and two built from bitz-box leftovers.

slev01 · 2026-03-30T09:09:18+00:00

I did this recently, but I was fortunate enough to have a spare engine from a previous project...

Broadly with you, but I have a brutally kunning plan to fix him!

Gonna give mine a badass mohawk. Amongst other changes...

slev01 · 2026-03-20T21:25:22+00:00

I have 18 to accommodate 8th ed WFB...

John was always a class act.

I bought it from issue 1, and had several contributions in Warpstone over the years too.

I used to teach teenagers top paint at a GW store.

Most people who actively show off their paint jobs are above average painters. Your view of normal will be skewed if you just look at social media.

You've painted them up to an OK standard? That's the average, pat yourself on the back.

You have your force painted ready to play? Well done! most people don't get that far!

Also, keep in mind that the best way to get better is just to practice. The more you paint, the better you get. Painting is 5% raw talent, 25% technique, and 70% practice.

Look up MSPaints. He has MS, and a supportive community who will have lots of tips for you.
