Second for basecoating

>>53946048
Again from last thread, but the glue on my dkok grenadiers isn't sticking for some reason. On the one I've put together, some bits will still move, on others I've attempted, the glue turns into a film which flakes off.

Do I use gorilla glue?

>>53946193
Did you wash them thoughtfully first?
Also, you need to use super glue for resin, not plastic glue

>>53946142
Rattle rattle rattle

>>53946330
This, I washed all my dudes and used super glue.

>>53946330
I did wash them but I'd not known about the super glue.

>>53946345
And it still doesn't work? Try to use a very small file in the contact points to make the resin a bit uneven, or put a tiny tiny little bit of paper right into the contact point with the glue.

>>53946355
On resin-resin, metal-metal and resin/metal-plastic you have to use super glue

>>53946382
>On resin-resin, metal-metal and resin/metal-plastic you have to use super glue
No you don't. There are all kinds of glue which will work on those things, many of them better than super-glue in some ways. The only really good thing about super glue is that it dries fairly fast so you don't have to hold the pieces in place.

However, when working with resin, there are some steps you need to take to make sure you have a good bond.

First of all, clean it properly. I know you already gave it a clean, but it pays to go overboard with mold release agent. Soak with detergent, scrub with a toothbrush, repeat like five times. Then just before working on it, give it a bath of isopropyl alcohol and dry with a hot air blower. Wear gloves when handling it after that, to avoid skin grease getting on it and so you don't glue you fingers to it.

Then, you probably want to pin everything you possibly can. At the very least, gouge the surface to give the glue something to grip to.

After you have put the glue on, figure out a way to apply pressure and keep the pieces clamped in position. This often requires a bit of ingenuity with elastic bands, clothespegs, clips and vices. But it really helps to be able to just leave the mini for an hour while the glue sets properly.

>>53946650
Oh well, yeah I guess. I was talking about the glues GW sells. I'm sure there are better ones around.

Lads, how do I paint Space Marines in mostly silver easily and effectively?

I was considering getting the GW Leadbelcher spray, patching up with Leadbelcher before washing with Nuln Oil and possibly picking out some edges with Vallejo Game Chainmail;

But I'm not sure whether I'm limiting myself, didn't GW make some new super metallics recently?

Replace the left arm and do something (obscure, remove, sculpt over) the insignia on his chest and you should be good.

>>53947395
Metallics tend to look bad on non-busy surfaces, especially coppery ones. I'd say you want a nice warm colour which stands out from the grey. Orange and yellow don't tend to look good next to bronze, so probably red.

>>53947342
Leadbelcher spray turned out pretty shit when I tried it. Have no problems with the other colours, but that one just ended up far too grainy.

I think you really need to use an airbrush or spraygun if you want fast silver over smooth surfaces. You don't need a good brush, but unfortunately you do kind of need a good compressor to avoid spattering.

I could just go White/Grey, since i've alreagy hit the 3 colour minimum
It's just annoying the 3rd colour doesn't pop as much

>>53947607

Thanks. My dad has like a small industrial compressor, probably only double the size of the specific airbrush ones I see. He's said it would probably be too powerful in the past but I imagine they have pressure settings.

>>53947754
the trouble will be going down low enough with a steady airflow, you only need 10-15 psi most of the time. A tank is also nice to keep the flow from pulsing with the pump.

Not bad for a total beginner. Not bad at all.

But the heavy drybrush with white shows and gives the first skeleton a somewhat messy look. A bit more subtle, and maybe not such a bright white would work better.

As a next step i recommend to look into washes and get a black and a brown one to give your future miniatures more definition and depth.

>>53948075
I love your paintwork, but give your figures a bit more love before you start painting. I see mouldlines and gaps that you could have easily fixed. You're great!

Reposting since I came in on the ass-end of the thread and I'm just so pleased with my progress. There's nothing quite like finding that missing piece (in this case the Pink Horrors stuff) that fit ever so nicely. Gonna need a bigger base for this...

>>53948075
how did you do the golden/brass trim? it looks great!

>>53948160
I really appreciate the input.

Yeah, I realize now that they really do mean as little paint as possible for dry brushing.

I actually did use a wash (vallejo black). I think I got paranoid that it would pool too much outside the recesses and cover much of the color, so I probably ended up brushing off too much of it.

>>53947606
Looking nice. I'm liking this model in red.

>>53948077
How on earth is that armor painted, green wash over bare tan plastic or something?

Anyway, go for the basics. Put down solid, veen and smooth block colours. Outline everything with black or really dark colours to make shit pop. Mix shading and highlight colours, apply "manually", don't primarily use washes or drybrushing except for when such is really called for.

>>53948362
Its all about getting used to how the different paints and techniques work and behave.

If you enjoy painting, i recommend checking the miniature painting section on twitch creative. Some of the guys there are really nice and helpful and explain everything to you if you ask them in chat.

>>53948432
To make the armor, I used green paint over white primer. I then used a dry brush with metal bronze using more paint than usual for dry brushing.

My goal is to get shading and highlighting right for next time.

So in my experience you are looking at soaking them, scrubbing them and then repeating that ad nauseum till they look salvageable again.

Give me one good reason why you shouldn't prime everything in grey

>>53946048
very nice.
I could never accomplish this, but if I were to give one piece of constructive criticism, you should add some more texture on the dirt/weathering at the bottom of their cloaks.

Just something to break up the uniformity I see there.

>Give me one good reason why you shouldn't prime everything in grey

It's easier to get bright Second Edition Blood Angels red over a white undercoat than over a grey undercoat. I've done both methods, and the models with the grey undercoat ("Zynolyte Light Gray All-Purpose Spray Primer") are noticeably different.

That's not to say it can't be done. In fact, one could paint yellow or even white over a black undercoat (followed by red, of course, is what I mean) and probably achieve a similar effect, but that's one more coat of paint that probably could have been skipped.

Total noob here, i just assembled all of the little shit and tools and paints and crap to start painting. After 6 hours of assembly i managed to put together my first Spess Muhreen Sergeant.

Here's where i get confused. I'm priming it using this (http://www.migjimenez.com/en/acrylic-primers/117-dark-yellow-primer.html). I'm brushing it on and the result is this fucking shit. I assume i need to do up a second coat, but i guess there's something i'm doing wrong that makes it be fucking...splotchy? It dried up real quick like. I did thin it with some acrylic thinner to start, but then i noticed it's not mushing up details and is pretty runny even without the thinner. Tips? Help? Trolling? Anything helps. Thanks dudes.

Yes, i know. It's like it took a swim in diarrhea. Maybe it's the brush i'm using? Just using a standard citadel base brush.

>>53950008
That is an airbrush primer, some of those are certainly usable with a brush (the vallejo ones for instance), but they are quite thin as a result.

>>53950081
They do claim it's usable with brushes. So does that mean i just have to lay it on more thickly? I'm scared i'll just fucking blob the whole thing.

It should dry quite thin though, which is to prevent it from obscuring details.

>>53950008

Man... it looks like he climbed out of a bowl of pea soup.

I wish I had a solution for you, anon, but my only experience with brush-on-primer was Citadel's Imperial Primer - which is an affront to The Emperor's benevolence. Even my local GW's manager does not encourage its use.

If you're determined to go this way - and I suppose you must be because of limitations on using spray primer (lack of suitable weather or spraying location?) - it definitely needs another coat. You're not going to be able to get thinned acrylic paint to stick satisfactorily to all that bare grey area - especially in the crevices where you need to get washes to darken your shadows, even if you are expecting paint to be underneath.

The bigger problem I'm seeing going in this direction are the brush strokes. I suspect they'll be visible underneath a couple of thin coats of acrylic. A second coat of that primer might hide them, but it could come at the cost of some of this model's detail.

>>53950163
Fair, didn't expect the primer to be THAT thin though. I'll give it another coat in five minutes.

>>53950183

I came looking for suggestion:
I find the shooty hands on Kastellan Robots extremely retarded so I would like to mount something on their power fists, like in pic. Thing is I am right now extremely poor, so I can work only with leftovers from Mechanicus Battlebox. I probably could use Phosphor blasters from Kataphrons, but I have only 3. Maybe use one from Kastellan's back and one from servitor (and mounting flamers on their backs?)

I need some serious help WIP general. I'm getting back into 40k after skipping 6th and 7th because I played orks throughout 4th and 5th and didn't feel like getting my shit stomped in even harder than it already was. I've come back for 8th, and chosen to start over with Dark Eldar, but I'm pretty sure I've bitten off more than I can chew. I'm not a particularly good painter, and I can't fucking figure out a good color scheme for them to save my fucking life. Does anyone have any of those paper doll army planner things? Or any tips on how to paint Purple and Gold and have it not look like ass? I'm trying to use green for the poison vials and combat drugs as well but it just ends up looking really stupid and clashing. Any tips?

I really want to convert my tomb blades because I hate the models
something canoptek inspired would be cool. Any Ideas?

Hi guys, a quick dumb question. So far I've been painting by wetting my brush in tap water and then taking some paint straight from the container. Not a best way to do it, I know, so I want to start using a palette. I'll probably make myself a wet one soon, but for now, what can be used as a "dry" palette? Will just a few pages of paper do? Are there any specific materials that work well or should be avoided?

I use a palette pad (it's the white rectangle underneef da Panzee stompaz), but not Citadel. Go to Michaels with a 40-50% off coupon and buy yourself a pad of Strathmore Palette Paper. It's 9" x 12", and 40 pages, for not a whole lot of money.

Nice. Is the helmet of the guy on the right from WH fantasy?

>>53953500
not him, but yep.

Duncan said to me, an absolute novice in the art of painting minis, to assemble a miniature and then prime and paint. One of the minis has a rifle over his chest, will I make it or how should I do it? Prime them separated, finish painting both parts and THEN unite them? Will the glue even work?

>>53953688
You need to cover contact areas but it should work

>>53953688
That's what I usually do, just don't paint over the areas which will connect. If you do it should glue together anyway, but might be problematic so try to avoid it. You can also assemble the entire miniature and then paint, but getting to some areas might be very difficult then.

Just checked again they also have these.
They are from Denizen miniatures.
They have a range of racecar drivers and the like.

The miniatures are 1/43 so I'm not 100% sure if they'd fit on GW stuff since 28mm translates roughly to 1/56, but since the heads and hands are exaggerated due to heroic scale it may actually fit.

Couldn't find a size comparison picture atm though to say for sure.

>>53954679

Where are all these from friend?

Would stippling on blue shade multiple times on a metallic base work on large flat areas such as on vehicles to make a dark metallic blue?

I'm looking to do my deldar dying sun style but I don't want to have them non metallic but rather metallic like they appear in the old codex.

>>53954679

Red Scorpions.

Cool scheme, interesting background and they have some really nice transfers from Forge World as well as some new models on the way.

>>53954832
Awesome! Thanks!

>>53954679
Charcaradons, easy to paint but also easy to make them look crazy/badass also they are fucked up 8 foot tall Shark obsessed maniacs who hide in space and terrorize people at random. Or Relictors for using cool Chaos bits on your totally still 'loyalist' marines.

>>53955191
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsdjBtZJJ2k

>>53955211
It could work with a bright metallic.
The more layers of shade, the more the metallic effect is lessened, so normal ones or darker metallics will not shine through enough.

Thanks for the input so far! By the way, how good is the mechanicus standard grey primer? Or should I stick with regular black primer and apply a base coat of grey?

>>53954763
Revilers actually sparked my interest in grey chapters. But, I fear their extremely simple color scheme could result in bland miniatures since I'm not an expert painter. I should probably look into wearing / weathering techniques.

>>53955198
From the Adeptus Astartes - Successor chapters booklet. It came with the limited edition codex.

>>53955240
>new models
Very nice, do we know which models are coming yet? Red Scorpions are actually among my top picks together with Carcharodons. The two have a similar color scheme but a very different organization... I like the fact that they are codex-compliant so that I can use whichever units I prefer, but I'm not too keen on apothecaries spam either.

>>53955301
I'm actually very partial to the Carcharodons color scheme. The things which are pushing me back are the fact that they are supposed to use a lot of old armor marks, of which I don't have any atm. I noticed there is a small warhammer tv tutorial for carcharodons armor which is a good start.

>>53955191
Needs some shading, I'd say. Reikland Flesh for the skin, nuln oil for the metals, agrax earthshade for everything else. Then neaten back up again, except for the recesses where the shade settled in (Or do just a recess shading, putting your shades not all over the miniature but specifically into all the little recesses.) Then use a brighter metal colour for some edge highlights on the gun and maybe the mask, and go over the skin like >>53955304 posted. You may not necessarily need much of an edge highlight if you paint up a boatload of cultists though.

>>53955211
Maybe a blue glaze might work?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NllQYe4S4_g&t=302s
Just without thinning it down. You could try it out on a sprue or a test model.

>>53955500
Also, I'm not too sure if I should even consider chapters with no backstory. I feel like they would become boring soon (and I'm not a fan of homemade fluff either)

Anybody else having a blast painting the Pox Walkers?

>>53955547
If you don't want to make your own fluff, I'd really go with Red Scorpions or Charcharadons. The Space Sharks got some books recently, and Red Scorpions are FWs pet chapter. Maybe look into it, see if you like their fluff.

Dark Angels Primaris Marines I've got done today, ready for priming (with a bit more base clutter). Pretty chuffed with them. Sergeant magnetized for future rules updates because that boy is definitely getting a combi-bolter and a power sword when he can.

Any ideas for extra flavour and what to do with the other dudes? Thinking more winged helmets for the lieutenants but the captain is a mystery. Saw a cool kitbash with the Black Knight decorative statue thing and I've got the bits but I'm not sure.

It's amazing how much better these models look like when given a non-mk4 helmet

>>53956203
The problem for me are the knee rivets. They seem really out of place. Also the design feels less cohesive in general. And I believe they could have used larger pauldrons!!

>>53956159

yeah the scale did my tits in, but did a bit of a comparison and among marines, they fit in well. Custodes definitely had to be raised, but their scale next to the different types of marine are great. It all falls apart with the other races though, gonna get a pic to give an idea.


>>53956203

Right? Made the world of difference. Not a massive fan of the whole "Primaris" conceit myself but fuck me do I love the models. Slap on a Mark VII helm and they're the true-scale standard Space Marine models I've always wanted. They're lovely models though.

Took a bunch, got as many comparisons as I could

scale isn't too bad with regular humans. Might be fair to say they're a little too big, but a large part of that might be the extended base I'm using (which admitedly ruin a lot of their worth for comparing). But the base is only adding an extra 3mm so it shouldn't be too bad.

Mk4 isn't bad by any stretch of the word, but literally any other kind of space marine helmet looks better.

That's actually a pretty good idea for fluff, especially since Primaris Marines are treated surprisingly expendably all in all so far in the fluff - they're special, but they're being thrown onto the front lines faster than an untrained teenager in WW1.

As for the name, that's harder. What gene-seed do they have? Knights of the Bloody Cross - the idea being that they live for their sacrifice - could be interesting.

Any way I can just remove the models and spray all the bases my desired color and then reglue them after the wash?

>his homemade conversions are all infinitely better than his official designs
It's true what they say. Power really does corrupt.

I'm going to be painting some dark grey space marines soon, I'm wondering if it's better to basecoat them with grey and then heavily wash them to shade down or if it's better to basecoat black and then be quite liberal when applying highlights so from a distance they look grey.

prototype shotgun conversion for some recon squads in 30k.

hows it look?

>>53959068
oh come on anon, the aesthetic of his own plaguemarines is subtly different from GW's official line meaning its not in line with their direction. So 1) He's probably not allowed to sculpt them like that, and 2) would he even want to make it so any scrub can have an army that looks like his own lovingly crafted masterpieces?

I've seen alot of people mention test painting models, I assume you get them at your FLGS, right? Are they free? Since I don't frequent a game store should I buy something along with it?

>>53959235

You get a cheap miniature from anywhere. Buy some cheap testers on eBay, buy a box at the store to just fuck with, or get some given to by a friend. Fuck, some dollar-store armymem would do.

Basically, just a test mini is just a miniature you use to test out your painting, or see how a scheme you want to paint looks on a model. There aren't designated test models, it's just practice.

>>53959279
Wow I feel like a retard, I just saw a bunch of primaris, and assumed people wouldn't want to use their new models to test a color scheme.

Got a nid army for about 10 cents a model from a grab bag. Sure many of you saw that post, so won't go into it here.

What I do want is: recommendations for removing this super glue?

Double checking before I proceed but my plan was...

Step 1: Freeze them, then gently pick/break open super glue to expose surfaces for better chemical weathering

Step 2: Simple Green or some other plastic-safe cleaner to break down the glue bonds

Step 3: Have nearly free Tyranid army.

Better solutions? Is freezing + chipping worth it or will cleaner eat right through it's rather thick coating?

Get Super Clean. Its better than sim0le green and wont harm the model and will dissolve the superglue. Give it a good soak for anout 3 days for optimal stripping.

>>53959132

You guys are entirely off-base. They don't look like that because one is mass produced and one is lovingly crafted. Simple as that. It's just a logistics thing and to complain about it is to look like a total retard.

It doesn't help that you have the primarine on an elevated base

>>53959068
His homemade designs are quite likely just less functional as mass production models, especially ones designed for ease of use for beginners.

>>53959870
They tried to use Chaos weapons against Chaos and got fucked by the Inquisitors

>>53959068
do people not like the new plague marines? I'm absolutely in love with them, especially the lord.

>>53959870
Pretty much.

They were a Chapter that fell in with a Radical Ordo Malleus Inquisitor, and then started hoarding demon weapons, and could even use them back in the Chapter Approved days.

>>53959919

Can't decide between making a swords and flamer heavy Black Templar successor chapter with a Custode squad or well rounded Lamenters successor chapter with lore based in cheeky references to other sci-fi series

These fucking chadmarines are never gonna get painted

>>53959987
if you like both ideas equally then just flip a coin for it then if you're like me ignore the flip and pick the other option

>>53959987
i'd go with the templars idea, I doubt the Lamenters have ever had enough marines consistently enough to form a successor

>>53960053

The Lamenters have been consistently under strength, never really approaching anywhere above 500 Marines and consistently standing at roughly ~250 to 300 Marines in later lore, almost since their inception.

Lamenters have never really had Marines to make a successor, and if they did it'd likely die out immediately doe to inheriting their phenomenally bad luck.

>>53960053
Guy did say chadmarines, implying Primaris marines.

>>53960159
thats true I guess, but I still doubt they'd have enough gear to equip them for more fundamental shit (like ships, since the Lamenters had theirs stolen)

I know this feel too well

>>53960053
The idea was that they were a tiny group of Lamenters that got split up after they got sucked into the Warp. While the Lamenters fought through one direction, they went another on account of being separated and lost as fuck. After popping out of the warp on the edge of bumfuck nowhere, they decided to patrol the far reaches of space, mainly acting as recon for chapters with the forces to do something about it.

Due to their Lamenter tier luck, they end up getting themselves into a plethora of shenanigans, getting their shit beat in but always trucking along to save people. Some of the shit I thought of them to get into so far were

>assisting in the first invasion of Klendathu despite its overwhelming failure
>recon of the planet LV-426 and their encounters with the native xenomorph species which kicked their shit in
>search and rescue mission for federation troopers on the planet SR388, also a failure

Essentially I get to make references to some of my favorite sci-fi shit while playing with the idea of a group of soldiers that never give up despite being near dying out. Of course it's all wip so we'll see what this army even ends up as

>>53960178
>since the Lamenters had theirs stolen
I believe you mean "seized as penance for treachery against the Imperium".

>>53960178
Don't Primaris marines get all sorts of shiny new gear made for them? Having them be a successor chapter is basically just explaining what gene-seed they get, not anything to do with their culture or equipment. It actually makes things all the more sad if you think of it that way.

>>53960194
I believe YOU MEAN "wrongfully stolen by the high lords to further their own gains, while the Lamenters merely remained loyal to the defense of the maelstrom despite the high lords being FUCKING MORONS"

reposting because i haven't painted anything in months. the 8th edition change, work, life, and all sorts of other shit have kept me from even building what i have or finishing painting my built models. how do you get out of the rut and back into painting?

i have 30ish gargoyles, a trygon prime, some dark vengeance CSM, a few warriors, and tervigon progenitor kit (tyranofex/tervigon and termis) to paint and or build but can't bring myself to do anything. still haven't played a game of 7th or 8th since i started a year ago.

>>53960209
>refusing to pay your geneseed tithes
>destroying a mechanicum vessel operating under the authority of Terra

Lamenters are lucky they got to live. At least the Minotaurs gave them a good thrashing and put their stuff to better use.

>>53960226
Never underestimate how far the lore shall bend itself over backwards for entire new Primaris Marine chapters. But really, if the anon wants to set things up so that his Primaris Marines are Lamenter successors, that's cool and possible, but he's really only getting the gene-seed.

The Danish Delights

>>53960178
I think what he's saying is that they're the "reboot" chapter, like some were implied to have been formed from destroyed chapters.

Nobody heard the Lamenters check in for a while, so they're assumed destroyed.

So when he says successor, he's saying the "new" lamenters that would've been formed from solely primaris marines

inb4 they're the luckiest sonsabitches in the universe

>>53960484
Original anon here. Maybe the Lamenters got reinforced /somehow/ so they decided to shovel off a portion of their chadmarines over to [name of chapter] to help patrol the edges of the Imperium with the majority of them joining the main fleet. As for the baby chapter, they would be fleet based, with probably a single main ship due to supply shortages. I wanted the army to mainly be infantry based so that fluff works for the lack of vehicles

My only complaint is not being able to use an Emperor's Champion with this Lamenters successor chapter

mulling over paint schemes for my guardsmen. has anyone here tried using stippling on guard uniforms to create a camo effect? their clothes are basecoated black and i was going to stipple a layer of codex grey and then a layer of white for an urban camo effect but im worried it might be too much going on for such a small model.

>>53960498
I think it looks like that because of the flash, I went at it with a knife to make the top halves more random, I wanted to give the bottom halves square to give it a obelisk feel. I see what you mean though, ive only done a few bases so far so i'll experiment

>>53960508
You are familiar with the Lamenter's lore right?

If they're not completely dead, they're damn close and up to their necks in nids. They didn't make it back to defend Baal. Even TRAITOR blood angel successors made it back and helped.

If I was going to put primaris marines in Lamenters colors, the only "fluggy" way that it would make sense is that they are a new chapter in all sense of the word, they just inherited geneseed and the heraldry of the original Lamenters. Otherwise they're starting from scratch. Not saying that's bad or anything, it would be an interesting bit of lore to see, especially if the Lamenters bad luck shows up with the new primaris version.

>>53960512
I used to do a scheme of blobs of color over the basecoat then going back and stippling in the base color over the blobs. Makes for a cool camo effect. You could probably try something like that.

>>53960560
Oh, I guess I wasn't caught all the way up with their lore. Back to the drawing board on this I guess

With all of this custom chapter talk, I was wondering something.

I'm still relatively new to 40k, so how would you stat up a custom chapter? Do you just pick something close to what you want and base it off of that? Do you have access to chapter specific stuff like the Emperor's Champ because your fluff justifies it? Is there a guide or something?

>>53960828
>Do you just pick something close to what you want and base it off of that?
The official stance is that the you use the rules of whichever chapter you deem most appropriate. Usually this means the chapter they're a successor of.

In the new imperium index 1 (all about space marines) has various rules for different famous chapters and their unique units. Id say pick it up and if any of the chapter specific rules take your fancy just make your own chapter and use those rules, as long as they are using the correct points values and follow the rules I cant see anyone arguing with you just because your space wolf like army isn't painted the right way.

Also force organisation charts give you different shit too so you could theme an army around that. (ie have a heavy support based army with rules that compliment that loadout to up your dakka).

I honestly wouldn't worry about having your lore being absolutely 100% withen established lore. There have been so many chapter foundings that you can justify anything. Just go with something that you personally find fun and interesting, its your army, you spent the money and painted them so fuck the haters. Live the dream battle-brother.

>>53960922
Huh, that's pretty lenient. Alright cool, maybe I'll try to find some way to blending my Black Templar successor idea with my Lamenters successor idea together. I want to be a melee monster with lots of fire but also like the Lamenters fluff of being good people that get shit on often

What colours might be suitable as a trim/detail for Silver spess mehreens?

I'll level with you, I'm not good at painting and I reached too far and fucked up my first attempt at the new Primaris. I know I need to practice, and I'm obviously going to be doing this, but I don't want my first army to look embarrassing dogshit

I really just want to get on the table because my lack of painting skills have really prevented me from getting actual games, but I'm confident I can paint a Grey Knights 'scheme' over them with a bit more detail and have them look table top

>>53960944
The Lamenters would never in a million years be allowed to have a successor chapter by the Administratum.

Then again, it's your boys, so it's up to you

>>53960971
Like >>53960938 said, I might just have to adjust or ignore some lore if it comes down to it. I'd like to adhere to it as much as I could but we'll see how it ends up. Regardless, I'm looking forward to painting the new Primarines

>>53960922
> As long as you don't try to be one of those guys who changes chapter rules choice every other week

There is an exception to that rule. As long as you army is painted well you can change your chapter tactics every game for all I care. But if you did the whole '3 colours and a wash' shit then you can fuck right off.

>>53961003
just because they're similar to lamentors doesn't mean they have to literally be their successor.

theres a thousand chalters but GW has only ever fluffed out a couple hundred at most. There's plenty of room for you to homebrew what ever you want.

Try giving white and drab more depth by making shades and highlights more contrasting. Also make the scarf red to stick with the lore. Other than that, good work. When based they would definitely be bombin'.

>>53959873

Mentioned that throughout the posts tbf. It was something I did to make my regular marines a bit beefier next to other models. But I'm tempted to tear them off and just have them on regular bases because of the scale issues with Custodes and Orks.

fishing line or hair + watereffects and ink or a technical paint or a paint like tamiya clear red.
You can build the drop up with paint or watereffects.

Depending on what you use and how and where it is added to the model it may not be such a great idea on gaming minis though.
