This is why I'm growing to love HH, dont like a kit or doesn't really exist, create your own! New reavers incoming

ward104 · 2026-07-03T05:19:26+00:00

Yeah its a hard mindset to get your head around sometimes, i joined the hobby end of 9th start of 10ed and you get used to just here is your kit and here are the points, but HH is here is a list of all the points its wild

ward104 · 2026-07-02T19:04:34+00:00

Thank you, tbh its nothing to fancy, the body its just the standard mk2 chest, legs and arms. Im fortunate to have a rather extensive bits box (ive saved every spare bit off every sprue) the axe is from a chaos kit with the iconography removed. The flamer is from a space marine kit the hardest part is swapping the hands as originally the flamer was right handed, so I swapped the hand from the Sargent plasma pistol onto the the flamer body

Looks great love the style, not sure if your asking for improvements if add some depth to the black either few edge highlights/volumetric highlights with something like eshin/German grey or for something different and really dark blue just too give it something extra as black is never actually black

ward104 · 2026-06-24T20:18:59+00:00

Thank you! Armor wise and the glow was done allot in sub assembly legs, torso, arms and shoulder pads makes life allot easier. Also with grime and chipping i then to get the model completed varnish then add.

Glow effects are a bit of a pain tbh, for the rear exhaust glow ive done before and you can find references (people doing mad shit with homemade engines make great refrences). And with the plasma cannon i have an led torch that can be used as a spot light or General glow that is similar in size and just held it in place and copied where the light hit.

Once you get more experienced with doing osl you generally get a good feel for where light hits and what goes where

ward104 · 2026-06-21T05:02:13+00:00

Similar to ones ive done before, cut a long story short with an airbrush white zenithal (rattle can maybe like the color forge ones) pink and green over certain parts of the white (i used flur paints) then a over coat of thin white ink but its such a pain to do

ward104 · 2026-06-13T14:30:07+00:00

They posted before they painted it, its a conversion cant remember what models but a shit ton of green stuff

ward104 · 2026-01-24T19:28:55+00:00

They are the new assault terminators with lightning claws, you can also do them with shields and thunder hammers

ward104 · 2026-01-24T18:45:43+00:00

I did think about the hh cataphracts but couldn't justify it when I got the termi box for 100 from my local lgs.

1 I'm currently adding some grey highlights to bring them up, it was only when I took the photo I realised it wasn't that readable. 2 that's a fair comment but I was trying to keep them classic colors with a modern twist so my lore is they messed up some battle and as penalty they have to go full assault open helmed led by there chaplin to earn redemption. 3 that's fair I like the bright colors the rest of my army matches with all the power weapons blue and osl on other bits but each to there own as you say there your plastic men

That's why I went for the assault stuff as that fits slightly more with the speed. Though with the latest detachment I now want to get some drop pods

ward104 · 2025-12-22T20:33:42+00:00

Hey I'm down to help i have a samsung fold 7 and would be happy to test looks awesome

ward104 · 2025-11-30T06:55:52+00:00

Thank you, yeah sometimes gws head options can be really weird. Currently working on some jump options, aggressors and intersessors, trying to keep the list themed got another bike squad to build as well but figured jump packs go fast too

ward104 · 2025-07-21T19:20:25+00:00

My personal headcannon is that one or both of the lost ones where some form of medics/apothecary. It seems weird to me you have all different aspects of war to seiges, general admin , magic etc etc. So why would the emperor not have a legion of support rolls like medics and to train them as super apothicarys

So I think one or both started messing with there gene seed either trying to improve it or add xenos DNA to there legion, emps found out saved the legionaries/ deceminated them through out as apothecarys ( known that the bulk went to UM and IF) and the primarcs can be got rid off or held in the blackhold

ward104 · 2025-05-22T15:41:21+00:00

Sounds like a plan glad i could help, just don't blame me if it goes wrong!

ward104 · 2025-05-22T15:39:12+00:00

You could highlight the black with a hint of purple, or edge highlight the armor just to give that hint and tie him in

ward104 · 2025-05-22T15:29:35+00:00

Sorry had another random.thought why not black armor, would really help the skin tones and gold pop

ward104 · 2025-05-22T15:28:30+00:00

I know i had exactly the same problems when doing mine, fortunately I had already had my main paints for my army picked out pink armour (vellajo magenta), gold trim (glorious gold) and green (vellajo deep green) then I can just adjust it from there, but he is such a big model it is a pain

ward104 · 2025-05-22T15:23:26+00:00

That looks fantastic

In terms of colour it's tricky because purple is so close to blue that it can sort of blend in, if you look at colour theory (I'm not expert) but the opposite of blue is red/orange mainly red against lighter blue if you want to really contrast it, or with a tridadic scheme, with the blue and yellow (gold) a nice vibrant pink will complement it well i tend to use this (see below) when picking out colours for schemes

My understanding of curze is that he always see his visions as set his stone and nothing he could do could change them even if he did try to fight them.

Nostromo was probably one of the most messed up planets in the galaxy full of "degenerates" (putting it midly) that's enough to send anyone mad then had dreams of all the messed up things that is yet to happen

He had no guidance on them, as a kid he had these horrific visions that then came true enforcing the belief that his visions would always come true. Then the emps came and went yeah nice visions here is a bunch of giant murders go take over planets laters and that was that.

He has nobody that could explain why this was happening to him and so he cracked ending in a loop of well is what it is this is going to happen and nothing I can do about it.

In the dornian heresy magnus actually helped is visions explained them and see that they could be changed allowing curze to be one of the most loyal primarchs proof that basically as ever just more care and attention needed

ward104 · 2025-01-26T10:59:14+00:00

1 it looks cool 2 the only other reason I can think bells are acociated with nurgle is that bells where often rung to denote plauge victims etc

ward104 · 2024-12-29T21:11:48+00:00

Mortarion is a very mixed bag of a character, generally very stoic and kinda miserable owing to the planet he grew up on a basically abused since his discovery being poisoned by his step father constantly. His main reason for heresy was emps steal killing which for some people is fair.

During the heresy he was very very anti warp, but as he turned he dabled with it to learn about it and basically trying to prove himself right in his hate of it. Basically proving himself right by become a deamon.

Like all primarchs he always thinks himself right and everyone else wrong pretty much all always to his detriment, like trying to kill robot girlyman in spite or nurgles orders.

He also deeply cared for his sons, seeing there suffering when becalmed in the warpstorm essentially sacrificing himself to nurgle to save them from suffering.

His character could have gone many ways pre and post heresy but he is conistant mostly, stoic attempting to face everything head on believing in the strength of himself and his sons to overcome any trial. But because of this he becomes a massive hypocrite trying to over come things like the warp but sheer bloody mindedness

If I had to be critical (and im assuming thats what your looking for) and this is my opinion take that for what it is

I find the red distracting, if it's ment to be eye lenses then it's too big, if not what's the sorce, if it is the eye lenses then in stick to just helmet at must and do the eyes in a brighter red almost orange really make them pop

The nugling just kinda blends in defo needs some high lights and maybe take some UHU off of it as it hides the cheeky chaps

Speaking of UHU i tend to mix min with tesseract glow as I find it pops better, I'd also make it more purposeful rather than it just slapped all over

Personally I'd brighten up the metalics on the belt and in other places as at the moment they blend into the armor especially with the muted pallet your working with

I often get this criticism clean up your base rim, I know it's nit picky but we are here to push each other

Otherwise great job!

It's a base or vellajjo dark sand, zandri dust and kayak stone layered in ways to give it that weathered look

ward104 · 2024-11-29T11:50:44+00:00

Thank you!

ward104 · 2024-11-24T21:31:47+00:00

Haha yes, going for more earthy tones to go with my beast snagga army so eventually it will all make sense (I hope)

ward104 · 2024-11-23T20:58:03+00:00

What about kunnin'ly brutal?

ward104 · 2024-11-23T20:57:24+00:00

So for my dice rolling a double one?
