You win at tengu/kenku rogue playing. I like the little guy.

Anyone got experience with custom HeroForge minis? How detailed are they?

>>51604199
I've been thinking about making Cyriss-oriented terrain for a while, but I'm having a hard time figuring out things beyond "look at these neat battery-pillars! cool!"

>>51604872
the high-detail minis hold their detail really well, but they ARE super breakable. I haven't seen the new blue type stuff, but it looks promising from what they're saying about it on their own site.

>>51604952
Is the high detail the new grey plastic ones, or you talking about the white ones?

>>51604969
the opaque white ones that I seen apparently aren't available anymore, they have since been replaced by the new, grey-blue high-detail ones.

>>51604872
>>51604952
I have three models from Hero Forge. One in High Detail, two in Grey Plastic.

The Grey Plastic is upsurdly sturdy, and it holds paint well.. When properly painted you can't even tell it's 3d printed, although I would say to go easy on washes just to be cautious. Even if you carefully file down all of the obvious bits, washes have a habit of creating strange shadows on their models.

The "High Detail" models are upsurdly fragile. I had comissioned a half-elf with the robot legs(had a character that walked around on prosthetics). The inside-knee joint was 1/4 of a mm thick, and snapped off with the gentlest of handling. Like I'm not even kidding when I say that it was MY BRUSH that snapped the fucking legs off. The fact that it even came to my house fully intact in the first place is the strongest evidence in the entire universe for god's existence.

>>51605020
Awesome, thanks. My group has been playing for 5 years and want to finally start using minis and wanted to get ones that resemble their character as closely as possible.

>>51604826
It's certainly garish enough.

First time doing 15mm apart from some (imo) terribly-done Romans a few years ago.
I'm aware the lighting is terrible.

Is there any reason to buy Citadel paints over Vallejo except for the meme names?

>>51606716

1. If you need a specific color only Citadel makes.
2. If you like the pots, for things like washes.
3. For Citadel's unique paints that nobody else offers, such as Blood for the Blood God, Ryza Rust, etc.

I recently put all my Citadel paints into dropper bottles, and if you are buying a Citadel paint that you could have bought a similar color from from Vallejo, you are not getting a good deal. The pot sucks, it costs more money, and they give you way less paint than Vallejo. Citadel pot is 12ml and is never 100% full. Vallejo is 17 ml, costs less money, and is always filled to the top.

Only buy Citadel if you NEED their color or it's a special type of paint like the technical lines.

>>51606716
I used to buy vallejo paints cos they're cheaper and have dropper bottles. Now I'm buying citadels: better coverage, never separates, no issuses of any kind (and I had terrible time with several colours from VMC)

>>51604826

I hope I don't offend you, but you seem like a beginner and you've chosen some very hard colors to do. Silver and gold take a lot of shading to look right.

The white flames are a cool idea, but difficult to execute. Also you need to think your paints a lot.

>>51606598

Amazing. I'd be proud to stomp those into the dust.

guys... resize your fucking pictures before posting

>>51607057
Why? I don't mean to be rude, but I've never understood this request. I personally have no issue viewing images; is it a device thing?

>>51606716
I prefer Vallejo for most colors, especially their military colors. For the more vibrant colors I sometimes use P3 paints, they seem to work pretty decently.

>>51607368

You do know that the declaration of the volume refers to the actual volume of the paint, not the size of the pot?

>>51607644
highlights

>want to assemble and paint army
>don't have all the weapons

why is this hobby game such suffering?

>>51607498
They really need a wash on the yellow.

>>51607357
I used medium layer brush for this. 2 thin coats of averland sunset. I've painted and shaded blue, then applied yellow. Tricky part are headresses with very small stripes. But its easy if you let yourself spill on gold parts and just clean up after you're done

I mounted my first batch of firewarriors before priming but now I want to paint the bases. Should I just pry their feet off with a knife and paint the base separately?

>>51607660

Doesn't matter what it is, Citadel gives you less than 12 ml. I've poured unopened Citadel pots into 15 ml droppers and come up less than 75% full.

>>51607660
GW's price for 12 is still much higher than everyone else's price for 17. Especially Army Painter, who is even cheaper than Vallejo.

>>51604805
Very little on the brush, and hold it so the middle of the brush sweeps across the very edge. Looks like you're using the tip to highlight?

>>51606098

I just imagine rotating gear platforms that rotate 45 degrees every turn to fuck with your positioning. Might be fun to implement

>>51605048
What kind of characters? People here might be able to help point out standard minis that'll probably be a decent amount cheaper.

>>51608097
How's Army Painter?

>>51607512
Wait, that's finished? The yellow looks quite flat and jarring next to all that black, I would've done a heavy wash on that. Otherwise they look pretty interesting, nicely done.

>>51608030
yeahhhh, no. If they'd do that, there would be a big lawsuit against them.

>>51608097
Ye I know, I use Vallejo for most of my stuff, I just didnt like the Army Painter colors when I tried them. Although my FLGS just got the big AP display, I might give them another shot.

>>51605020
Sorry to be that guy, but I need to inform you that the word you are looking for is "absurd"

>>51608540
It's because some of the paint sticks to the sides of the pot, and you can never get 100% of a liquid out of a container. That guy thinks it means that GW underfill their pots, despite it being flagrantly illegal.

Would dry brushing tyranids be okay?, I was looking over my tyranid warrior I was painting and all his details really stick out over the shaded parts.

>>51604199
What's that material you're using (the pinkish stuff)?

>>51608626
Yes, particularly the exoskeleton. For best results layer the dry brushing up the same way that you would paint normal layers, starting with a darker highlight and progressing to both lighter tones and lighter dry brushing.

>>51608660
Where should I focus the lighter tones too?

The edges

>>51608626
>>51608660
generally I'd say its not a good idea for chitin. You want to get a striking contrast (i.e violet on dark purple, lime green on dark green) and use a fine brush and draw thin lines starting at halfway down each plate and reaching the edge of the plate. Remember it's a living creature so it'll look like a nail with ridges catching the light. The arms and other parts are as simple as two thin coats of any colour and an appropriate wash maybe highlight at intersections.

Thanks mate, thought now is a better time then any, My tyranid colour scheme is that of the OG Genestealers, should it just be fine to highlight the chitin the same as the broodlord, and also What colours do I make the weapons/hooves etc, I was thinking skavenblight dinge, with a highlight of stormvermin fur but that might be too plain compared to the purple and blue.

Yeah the broodlord shoudl be fine, notice the striations of lighter blue at the edge of the back plates. The claws are a tricky one, personally I always like a bright red cos it's easy to paint and contrasts really well.

Minwax wash guy from the last thread. They're still tacky, after a day and a half. How long does this stuff take to cure?

>>51611405
Didn't see the conversation last thread, so I don't know the background, but tacky dip is usually down to using too much/not being gung-ho enough about shaking/spinning off the excess after application. You almost need one of those rotating brush cleaner things house painters use in buckets. Or I have seen some people use a DIY cardboard tube and attach the mini to a milk frother or dremel with binder clips

Double enter or use hyphens for bullet points. I figured this out on my first visit and I'm not even a Redditor. Your inability to do something as simple as format a Reddit post stems from your atrocious typing habits, as can be seen in your terrible 4chan formatting, with its random lack of line breaks after the greentext yet inserting random double enter after two short sentences, one of which isn't even capitalized.

Lessons learnt thus far making this:

>Find the damn camera, phone sucks
>Use super glue for reeds, not PVA, they fall over too easily
>Pound shop resin is fairly straightforward to use and good value for money, but be careful applying inks, and with the acetone, because too much causes some crazy chemical reaction or something and it gets scary hot, it looked like some ghostbusters shit was going on
>Be more careful using spray paints, because you are filling details, you muppet
>Consider low angles while spraying because you missed several spots on the statue
>Realistic Water is super easy to use, but seems to reactivate PVA? Fingers crossed it just sets and goes clear but who knows
>Use lolly sticks to stir the resin and don't settle for a pound shop packet nail file, the weird little shiny rough bits seem to have gone in the resin
>Air-drying clay is good value for money and very fun
>Be extremely careful when damping fingers while using the clay on MDF, because it sucks into the board and warps it
>3mm plywood is probably a better option than 6mm MDF for basing materials
>Scibor stuff isn't bad at all
>Neither is the Citadel dry paint

>>51616882

So pound shop epoxy and then realistic water as a finish? Looks pretty nice, I've tried epoxy for water before but it was a bit too thicc to get the effects I'd like to get, so I'd been planning to get some of the woodland scenics.

Exams? In February? News to me, all of my major exams are (well, were) in late Nov / early Dec or late April.

1B, 486x500px

Recently decided to start some translation to English from a Swedish game. Mutant: Heirs of Doom. I noticed there was some fun ideas on 1d4chan about it in albion, but I could never find any translation of the rules.
It don't look pretty, but it is functional.

>>51617043
The smaller pool in front was just Realistic Water, it seemed to shrink a tiny bit but applying a 2nd layer was acceptable. The main pool is 80% pound shop jobby, didn't add quite enough acetone for it to spread properly so just went over it with Realistic. I got five lots of the pound shop stuff but fried the last three lots worth this evening going OTT with the acetone.

Europe has a lot of exams around this time of the year, including Germany where I'm from and currently am in exam stress.

I'm sure that European posters missing causes a dent.

Some tips:
>Most resins/epoxies give off heat, some WAY more than others
>PVA is water-based but is easily soluble
>MDF is very liquid-sensitive and absorbs/deforms very quickly
>Don't base on MDF unless you want your bases to fall apart after a while

That's interesting, I never knew that WH40k was so heavily based in Europe. Are houses there actually reasonably sized or do you have to squeeze all your stuff into small spaces? Only flats/houses I've seen are tiny compared to where I live.

GL with your exams, though. Uni students? What major?

>>51617150
Wrong thread, m8. Or maybe a misinterpretation of /wip/, since we're about minis instead of game building or translations.

...Why isn't there some sorta /wip/ for game crunch?

>>51617257
Ah. I see. Ah well.

>>51617222
Not that anon, but yeah, there's a lot of us in Britain and elsewhere in Europe, I'm just finishing up a set of exams myself, last one is Friday and is small, so thanks to Study Leave I have some free time, which was lucky.

We don't really have "Majors" here, or if we do we call them different stuff. Main thing for me is Biochemistry, anyway.
The houses vary wildly because Europe is actually quite big :). They're big and expensive down here in the British countryside and tiny and expensive up in London and such.

>>51617222
It's not /super/ heavily based, but there's always something somewhere. Most houses have room to play in, considering you only really need a decently sized dining table and to properly display models, though our local store is tiny as fuck and often happens to have its tourneys overlap with Pokemon TCG or Yu-Gi-Oh release events, which really doesn't help at all.

Yeah, university. English studies with secondary focus on information science. Regular Bachelor. Got an exam in a Liberalism history class tomorrow that I only took to widen my spectrum even as a conservatively-thinking guy and the whole fucking thing is about a good dozen or so novel excerpts and poems to analyze, boring as all hell and I made a huge mistake even taking that course.

Thanks, though!

Not in Britain, for sure. Few university students study more than one subject, and many subjects (even Maths, English) can be left behind after age 16. We specialize far earlier than the American system.

>>51617222
I remember last year a few threads got derailed with a bunch of you Americanons getting distracted by some fellow Brit's windowsill because it was so 'quaint'. I think the real way you see the space difference is in the sizes of gardens.

Got a blotch on my carpet before catching the drip with my sock. I've tried to get it out, but I can't really tell if it worked until it dries. Thankfully, nothing got through to the hardwood floor and none of my models got caught in it. Guessing I'll count that sock as a casaulty, though.

>>51618381
Damn, I'm jealous. About to start a large, crazy project I am probably nowhere near ready for, and that would be a hell of a boon to me in England. Guess I'll order some regular plasticard and greenstuff and do the best I can, unless any anon knows a better source of parts to armour up my Mechanicum airship-whale and build the gondola/top deck.

Patterning it somewhat after the Leviathan from the books of the same name, but it's going to be my Archmagos Biologis' personal ride, using the Stormbird rules. Problem is that it will need a lot of greenstuff and scratch building, the Baneblade and possibly Stormraven kit I plan on buying for cannibalizing into it don't obviously have parts for everything and turning plasticard into everything is a real pain.

Going to have a top deck, armoured gondola/gantry running along the belly, possibly held to it by protruding ribs instead of conventional support struts. Amputate the lower jaw, build the command bridge up into the mouth cavity, probably.

Slightly difficult to find a suitable whale model, though. It's 55cm long, so 22 inches, and the models I find are either 15 or 30". This is probably not a common difficulty. :)

Describing projects not yet finished planning is hard....

>>51618543

Im sure ebay or british hobby stores has all you need though. our selection in DK is not that great.

>>51618543
>biomechanical floating whale
Well, looks like I need to read whatever that book is now...

>>51618629
It's taking a lot of planning so far, and I would sketch but I can't draw for shit. Done a couple shitty diagrams, and I imagine it will take a lot more work to actually do. Going to be fun, certainly. Been mostly trying to find a suitable base model for now, the only good one I found in design and size was cardboard.

I'll have a hunt about the internets, see what I can find. I imagine that will be simpler than whale-hunting.

>>51618658

I'd reccomend them just for the world-building honestly, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. WW1 alt universe where Darwin discovered genetic manipulation too and the Allies use bio-beasties against the Axis dieselpunk Titan knockoffs and such. Leviathan is that airship, they apparently have lots.

Gets a bit sidetracked by a slightly odd romance plot for a while, or maybe that was the main plot and I got sidetracked by the universe being awesome. Otherwise good.

>>51617614

I thought you based them on top of tall Greek pillars from the thumbnail.

Well, the entente was Russia, Britain and France, the Allies are actually referred to as the Allies because 1) they won and it's a friendly "good guy" name and 2) many other nations outside the Triple Entente were included.

Not strictly /wip/, but I finally got around to sorting my backlog/hoard/collection of hobby related stuff. The photo shows most of it. Salvage Baneblade, 4 flavours of Chimera chassis, Leman Russ, Rhinopred "looted wagon", Trukk, Battlewagon, old Rhino, some of my abandoned ideas, 2 Ork planes, a 1/48 F8F, a handful of metal models, including ol' Ghazzy, Grotsnik, a warboss, some old nobz and tankbustas. Also a load of Deffkoptas, Warbikes old and new, AoBR orks, two big boxes full of mostly complete sprues, about 2 kilograms of mostly Ork bits, including a ton of plane and tank parts, plus still wrapped Flash Gitz and a Blastajet. Not included is a box of poorly recast Ork bitz and other junk as well as a bag of various bases. All acquired because those deals were just too good to give up and "I really could use some of that in my army".
Want to go through a major chunk of that this year, mostly the vehicles and have 1850 points finished and fieldable by the end of April.

Like I said, shitty romance plot. At least they have the snarky gene-modded Loris there to make it less irritating.
At least once the initial introductions are done there's a nice long bit where they show off everything cool and shoot phosphorous at the clueless protagonist.

Whats a good base model to convert to an ork warkopta ( the flying ork transports, like the chinork)

I am a total newbie at painting miniatures.

I want to do Skitarii. The models are awesome.

But... fuck, man. Every time I watch a tutorial the cloth bits intimidate the shit out of me. All that shading and blending... have to be super careful to get details under the cloaks...

So, is this actually a terrible idea or do you think I can do it? I know Duncan is a God and that thinning paints is a very good idea, but beyond that I literally don't even own a brush or paint yet.

Side question: favorite Forge World color scheme? I kinda want one that would work in 30k as a Secutarii now that you can run stock guys in that list so that I can get the most mileage out of my little robomen.

I took them as my first army, and I didn't know that Blessed Duncan was a thing then. It'll be a pain at points, but they're very, very nice models and have excellent rules. I'm still not that good, but they're passable and you can learn fast of you try at this, I've found.

Best FW: Xana II. Dark Mech best Mech, cool scheme and epic scorpion icons. Also has the only competent 30k Dark Archmagos so far, and he can beat the shit out of Horus Lupercal straight up. Scheme is pic related, with some sweet brass for the beep boops proper. Also FW is releasing a transfer sheet with all the symbols on soon so you don't have to freehand scorpions.

Second best: Metallica. You will learn to hate white even if it is sexy as hell, and even if your army has a soundtrack built in.

Third best: Ryza because plasma and also because orange.

>So, is this actually a terrible idea or do you think I can do it?

Ok. Here's the deal. You have a bunch of bad minis in you that you need to get out before you get good results. That isn't a bad thing! It means that you get to see solid improvement in your work and (hopefully) do something relaxing that you love.

If you're asking if you can paint your first mini like the one in the picture, the answer is no. Can you paint it so it looks reasonable and learn a lot? Absolutely!

Paint because you enjoy it and you want to get better and you simply can't go wrong. Paint because you want good results and you'll be frustrated every time.

Buy some models, a rattle-can of cheap primer, cheap brushes, and a few bottles of paint and try to follow the tutorials you've found. Don't get frustrated when it doesn't come out exactly right and learn from your mistakes.

You're starting a great journey. Approach it with the right mindset and enjoy!

What are good starter models then? Is there a generally all around good beginner kit for 40k (some variant of marine I'm assuming)?

Personally I use the Malinax scheme for my non-priesthood or Cybernetica, like the Reductor arty and the Triaros, but mix in some red armour panels occasionally.
Priesthood get dark red robes, brass metal and black trim on the robes.

Cybernetica use that brass picture of the Taghmata Scoria Thanatar involved in the Rangdan Xenocides, with brass armour, silver innards and I paint one shoulderpad red like in your pic.

So yeah, no single scheme, I mix and match the bits I like. My army is Dark Biologis and uses Cybernetica sparingly anyway, Reductor rules with some Vorax or a Vulturax thrown in sometimes.

Mmm. I was kind of thinking of doing the Prospero box since I like Mk III marines a lot and doing them in Iron Hands colors seems awfully hard to fuck up... plus it gives me something really challenging to do if I decide I'm up to it with the Sisters and Custodes.

I like IW too, but I wouldn't feel right about doing them without going all in and doing Vahlen and all that, and IH have always been my first love.

I know about tricks with painters tape to do the hazard stripes though, seems super time consuming but I know I wouldn't get the lines right otherwise

>>51621235
Yeah it's the only way I could get them right. Thank god for that stuff

>>51619725
Can you post instructions for it please? Bought one used but unassembled and am unsure how to but the treads on the middle chassis bit and give it any kind of structural stability

>>51620866
I probably will, it felt good to share hobby joy even without getting something. That said if I'm asked to send to an NHL theyre SOL

Hey lads, if I were to do sub-assemblies on some Skitarii rangers, how would I want to group the parts?

>>51620732
It is not bad. I would try put the ink in the recesses as shadows and not wash it overall. Try also some fine highlights (even with your base colour at this point), it will make the mini stand out.

Basing: I like basing my models before I prime them. Now it is somehow difficult to paint the terrain without getting paint on the robe.
If you decide for basing at this point, mix some sand (bird sand works perfect and it is cheap) with some PVA to a toothpaste consistency. Then use an old brush to put the mix on the base, taking care not to get sand on the legs or the robe. Let it dry overnight and next day paint it.

>>51621420
Yeah he did end up a bit dark, highlighting would have been good

He's only lightly glued to the base, I'd planned on popping him back off to do it. I just needed something to hold him by while painting

>>51621121
nice work on the chaos symbols. free handing is a bitch

How do I use a gold color scheme, but make it look intimidating on a chaos warband?

>>51621618
Maybe a lighter gold, like auric armor gold for the base and then a darker more brassy gold for the accents/trim like Balthazar gold. Not too sure though

>>51621581
Yep, that's why I used those forgeworld brass icons.
Less freehand, more painting over raised metal after a wash.

Test model for a friend's sylvaneth. Wanted to do purple but didn't have the color and couldn't mix it so mixed pink instead. Base is very obviously not dome, I just stuck a rock that I had lying around. Please ignore the snapchat text, I had to send it to him and the pic was as good as I can get.

Can anyone recommend any good podcasts to listen to while painting? Doesn't necessarily have to be /tg/ related.

>>51621945
Not a podcast but I like to listen to next level painting, he uploads twitch streams to YouTube so you have like 3 hour videos

Alright, here's my analysis:
Y'got moldlines and slip running from shoulder to legs, the side of is backpack, and the center of his left arm and chainsword with no visible attempt at cleaning them up. Take an X-Acto and greenstuff to them to level them out.
The white is splotchy as all hell, and you didn't work up any shadows. Start with a base layer of Celestra Grey or w/e the new light tan they got (Rakarth something?) and work up from there, leaving pure white for only edge highlighting.
Blonde hair isn't painted with yellow, instead use light brown and tan.
Looks like you didn't underlay your metallics with a darker color. Metallics are typically more transparent than other paints, so putting down a layer of black (or brown for gold) is important.
Paint eyes and open mouth black before applying any white. This will increase the contrast and improve the overall look in those areas.
No sign of washes.

Battlefield berlin stocks reaper.
Miniaturium does too.

You don't HAVE to order in the us.

Does any one know of any active miniature forums that aren't just glorified rate my model websites?

I post in /wip/ and I like the community here, but I would also like to seek out better painters and be inspired by them as well as use these threads for feedback.

Can plastic glue be used on primed surfaces?

If not, what's the best way to assemble models that really need to be painted before assembling?

>>51623323
Super glue. Paint will fuck with the molding of plastic glue.

>>51623271
the cool mini or not forums used be a pretty good place to hang around actually. Haven't been there for a while, but just because the ratings and ebay auctions had issues with sniping doesn't mean the community isn't helpful for improving your painting. You can just ignore the rating side of things and post a paintlog of your own.
In any case loads of very good painters around to five feedback.

If you just want a nice community try lead-adventure. They seem like a friendly bunch.

>>51623323
You can just cover the glue contacts with some tape or blutac before priming and proceed as normal once the rest is painted with plastic glue or scrape the primer off from those parts.

Failing that
>>51623357
>Super glue.

>>51623357
Thank goodness I bought some for magnets
>>51623384
Oh, DUH.

Sorry I've been drinking and instinctively value other people's opinions more than my own

>>51623323
>Can plastic glue be used on primed surfaces?

Not if you're using a good, actual primer. Plastic glue can melt through regular paint but primer is a lot tougher and chemically bonded in some cases.

You can scrape off the primer with a knife, or use blue poster tack or other masking putty or even masking tape to cover glue points before you paint.

>>51621843
Love the colour scheme yeah, maybe one more highlight over the darker stuff.

>>51623788
Shes actually a bit brighter irl, but I agree she doesn't show enough of her blue at this shade, might use less black next time

Painting a KBB army, and I'm doing a different scheme where their armor is bone colored with dark, tarnished gold for trim. Should I paint their skin to be more tan to balance out the colors?

>>51620457
Seriously it is so easy and almost retard proof.

Do the metals and the leather at the same time
>Base (Leadbelcher for metal, a brown of your choice for leather/gun)
>Wash (earthshade)
>Drybrush the metal with a lighter colour.

Then just paint the cape your colour of choice, and wash it....maybe highlight.

You can paint and paint well very easily. Go to your local store for a tutorial if you can. The GW paints make it retardly easy.

So, how hard would it be to make Dullahan Chaos Space Marines or rather, Chaos Space Marines with flaming skulls?

Those are awesome.

>>51625313
Since when do Marines use vox? They have communications in their helmets don't they?

>>51617501
Use thinner coats of wash when painting your desk. Mostly put it in the recesses to bring out the desk's detail.

>>51625413
Dwarf Thunderer axes, Chaos Warrior top knots. Vox is from aegis line quad cannon.

>>51625511
Since 10,000 years ago. Allows friendly units to deep strike within 6" of the user without scatter and allows barrage weapons to use the operator for LOS purposes. I don't have much either, but decided (like with my 40k Guard) that since it's a thing, to at least model it. Whether I use it in the game is a different matter entirely.

Bought some older battlesuit parts to flesh out my army and came across this altered jetpack, thought it was perfect for a old style Broadside. I always hated how they just strapped some railguns precariously onto the jetpacks rather than going with the lore and not showing some heavily modified suits (until the newer ones of coarse). Anyway what do you anon's think?

Anyone know if the spare crowns I have from Magnus will fit on top of a contemptor dreadnought's head? I want to get a contemptor for my thousand sons but I'm not sure if getting the forgeworld thousand sons contemptor is worth it so I want to see if that kitbashing would be easily possible instead

>>51625985
The FW Sons Contemptor is a bit too pre heresy Legion-y for me. Better get some plasticard and scratchbuild a nice headdress for a regular one.

Do you tend to linger in these threads? If so I'll try and get the pages on for you

>>51617614

Very nice, I really like the armour really has a nice iridescent effect.

If you want any recommendations to add to it I would suggest painting the little cloth wrap around the topknot the same colour as the loincloth instead of the same colour as the hair as it breaks it up nicely.

Additionally you could very finely edge highlight the loincloth with a lighter colour like palid wych flesh or a light grey to sharpen up the cloth making it less flat.

But these are just optional enhancements, definitely fine as they are.

>>51619623
It has breasts but a very male chin.

>>51625985
The scarab occult terminators ones fit a contemptor I beleive so the Magnus one should work. Why use a contemptor at all though?

Who else does good weathering powders apart from forgeworld? I have most of the vallejo environment effects but I want an actual powder to apply and not a wet medium.

I actually think the banner looks just fine, maybe tidy up the bit at the top where the blue meets the bronze.

I would do something different like darken the eyes.
