Reposting from last thread because nobody had an idea for the tabbard

Hey can anyone help me out who knows his colors?

What paint would you use for the tabbard? Also how does the rest of the color choices look to ya´ll

i know some parts are chunky i´ll probably strip this guy when i have painted the rest of the squad

>>55017315
Green might be neat.

About to start on some assembly but I was looking for a few answers. /40kg/ is a bit too fast and they don't answer my questions

How many relics can a custom chapter have? How do you determine which ones they can use? Which ones in the SM Codex are any good?

What are some cool new paint tricks to learn?
Been working on lenses. And wanna try blue tinting your armour with thinned glazes as well as muzzle burn with the 3 washes

>>55017616
Custom chapters use the relics of their "Parent" chapter, so pick a chapter tactic you like, and say your chapter is from that chapter. you then ge tthat chapters relic, strategem, and chapter tactics

>>55017148
I knooow. But its such a pain matching them up, ill undercoat black and be happy with what I can get.

>>55017693
Thanks for saying it in plain English. I'm thinking Iron Hand. I'd use Black Templar but I'm a Primaris only chapter and the only melee unit there are the Reivers, which I've heard don't do too hot without their carbines. Disappointing really, as I'd love to model some fresh melee weapons on them instead of those boring knives

Does the Warlord trait stack with chapter tactics? Would my Warlord get to negate wounds on a 6 twice?

>>55017712
Sometimes you don't need all of the answers, anon

>>55017134

Starting to put the color on this bitch, guest starring johnny P in the background. What color would look good for the shoulder gem (unattached at the bottom of the base)?

>>55018351
I'd probably make it red. What color are the eyes going to be, though, cause I'd make it match them.

>>55017749
You could just do your Primaris counts as normal marine units.

>>55018660
I'm not sure if I want to paint the eyes at all. Not only would it add to that Artorias black hole face effect, fluff wise he's almost semi blind from his time fighting in the Warp. A red gem could work; it would resemble the weird red gems found all over Manus

>>55018665
Like "This model is a Primaris Reiver but I'm fielding it as a crusader/assault/whatever squad"? Is that legal/generally accepted? I'm fairly new to playing but not to painting although getting my hands and my mind to do the same thing are a different story

I know this is a stupid question but, Do you shade chaos black, I'm doing angels sanguine but I'm not sure if I'm meant to shade both sides with nuln oil/black shade.

>>55018697
Some people might get shitty with you about it, but they aren't the kind of people you want to be playing.

If you convert Primaris Marines to have the right gear for a Crusader Squad, no one should be shitty about you fielding them as a Crusader Squad as long as you make it clear.

>>55019026
Cool, that's good to know. Maybe I'll convert some Reivers into an Assault or Crusader squad, whichever is better in melee anyways

>>55018800

Lads, need help. Any thoughts, feelings, suggestions here, I wouldn't consider myself a novice but I'm always trying to improve (or spot silly fucking mistakes)

(Skulls aren't finished, GSC badge not finished, claws and nails not finished)

The biggest suggestion I need is is what colour should the Marine helmet on the base be?
(Also the Patriarch is holding a helmet, which I guess should be the same colour) - maybe I need some help with colour theory here?

The official model has them black because he was part of the Deathwatch box but I'm open to suggestions.

>>55019694

I painted my patriarch holding a blood angels head, because Baal was bullshit. Just paint whichever marine chapter annoys you the most

>>55019694
You've got quite a dark scheme going on, so it might pay to go for something bright and colourful. Maybe a red or a yellow?

>>Thin your paints
>Did that.
Ha. HAHAHAHA. Lies. Even a blind user would post on how thick your paints are. Just look at the gold trim, holy shit.
>>Learn to shade
>Did that
LOOOL, yet more lies. The gold for example doesn't look shaded at all, it's just a thick globby mess that shows some of the black undercoat because you didn't thin your paints and use multpiple coats like the retard you are. If it were shaded, there would be some dark tones near the rivets or the recesses. And the lightning claw has no perceptible shading at all.

Why you gotta lie on the internet, anon? It's not healthy. I did forget this is /tg/ WIP so it's natural that a lot of other shit painters white knight the fuck out of each other and ignore good painters because they "don't need replies" so the threads become more and more of 12-year-olds and their shit babby's first mini and others praising the fuck out of them. WIP used to be a decent mix of painters and most people had thick skin that the THIN YOUR PAINTS meme wasn't bitched about rofl.

>>55020519

I see stuff like this as well and think

>why did no one reply to me

Then I look at my post and it says

>I painted a space marine

If one wants feedback, criticism, suggestions *ask* for it, otherwise people might assume you don't actually want them and are just showing off your paint-job.

Grabbed the GW skull box and had an idea for my box of termies

>>55020783
Can you take a picture of the sprues? That skull looks awfully like it's the same Chinesium as the Sector Imperialis bases.

>>55020806
Its page on the webstore has every sprue featured

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Citadel-Skulls-2017

>>55020828
Except you can't trust those. Details on the one you posted look super soft and washed out.

>>55020806
I can vouch that the skulls are actually sturdy. Pic came out looking shiny, but the skulls are pretty well done for how many there are.

Yes you can. I've never opened a box, old or recent and found anything different to the photographed product on GWs webstore.

Those terrible base kits from last year that were made in China looked as bad on their photos as they were in person.

>>55021755
I like it. Only parts i'm not sure about are the backpack and the silver helmet stripe.
Grey and Red is the best choice for marine schemes, pic related.

>>55020649
Three plus shading, except for the black which is two.

>>55021819
If I hadn't already worked out my scheme I'd probably steal that one, it's got good impact.

The backpack I'm flexible on, right now it's black and silver all around. Do you think it's too dark, or just too plain? The helmet stripe is just me wanting to somewhat follow the "codex" scheme, but hating GW's white paints.

>>55021440

It's not quite but reminds me of Optimums prime.

Nice Scheme, nice highlights all good. Don't like metal stripe on his head though.

>>55021888
>Three plus washing

>>55021819
What is the base colour for that grey?, Dark reaper?

>>55021927
Vallejo German Grey.
All of GW's greys are too bright for my tastes

>>55021440
That little highlight on the knee looks too noticeable to me, but it'll probably be good once it's actually on the table.

Haha, don't say that! I don't think I could play an army of Optimus Primaris marines. I'm open to different stripe suggestions, I was going to do silver helms on sergeants, but if folks think the stripe looks bad I'm hesitant.

>>55021949
Some of that's the paint reflecting, it's not as noticeable in person.

>>55021947
I tend to agree, I've had okay luck washing Mechanicus Standard with Nuln Oil. Pic for reference.

>>55022027
consider a grey stripe not silver, it'd go better.

>>55020806
>That skull looks awfully like it's the same Chinesium as the Sector Imperialis bases.
AFAIK all of the stuff the scenery team design is made in china with soft details (so the moulds last longer).

See the sector imperialis bases, the horrible defence line, the new objective markers, etc.

>>55022502
I love the blue/black you're using for the plating, it really pops against the brown.

>>55022560
>>55022623
Thank you! Glad you like it.
>>55022624
Took a bit of gauze, spread it around so it looked more like a net, dunked it into a mix of warboss green/Stegadon scale green/water mix for some time, took out to dy. After dry, spread it out a bit more and made holes, cut to shape. Then added a bit of super glue and put it in place, watered down some PVA glue and dapped the whole area of the net with PVA/water, so it set into place. Then dry brushed it with Rhinox hide and Steel Legion Drab, and trimmed it some more. Also had to make it in 2 parts, since the gun is magnetized.

the middle of the ribbon naturally combines the yellow and blue parts of the 2-part epoxy, as a result, that tends to harden over time. Having 2 separate components should make sure it stays good for longer.

/awg/ is doing a group build for the month of September. The theme is "monster", anything you can make fit that theme is welcome.

Model must be non-GW if it's modern stuff. Oldhammer stuff is fine but anything from 2000 onwards is out. Use Mordheim as the cut off point.

Requires a WIP shot at the start and then a finished shot minimum. Models shouldn't be any more than 50% built at the start (raid your backlog for something you started but put to the side and want done).

Start date is September 1st, end date is September 30th.

what do you guys think?

Looks nice. Gore on the stomach of the middle guy is well done. You nailed all the fleshy bits too.

Any reason to use war paint, strong and dark tone over agrax and nuln oil?

>>55023705
Looks fake as fuck.

This is supposed to be some diseased demonic shit with goo, shit and blood dripping off every surface. So you make his finger dribble blood like he cut it while dicing vegetables.

Never said it did, I'm saying you have all this exposed diseased flesh and then you put tiny amounts of blood on it. It looks like a cheap cartoon

>>55023825
The carapace looks really nice, I love the highlighting, looks very nice. I think the red skin is a bit lacking though, has a sorta mediocre range of light to it. Maybe try a darker wash or starker highlights next time?

That's me scraping the bottom of the barrel for complaints though, it's pretty solid. Very nicely done.

Oh, and while I'm being pedantic, put a dot of white in the corners of the eyes (on the helmet and the actual nid). Will make them look more reflective.

All in all, those are some pretty sweet models.

>>55024123
You have a belly full of gnashing teeth full of blood and then the moment the mouth is shut the blood ends. Do you not see how that utterly fucks any sense of reality to the miniature? It looks like a painted model not a real entity in and of it's self. It's not universally consistent when blood runs off a paper cut but not a major torso tear. Does this asshole take a baby wipe to his toothy maw belly button before going to battle?

>>55024147
holy shit, didnt see it till now. What doesnt help is the gun being so heavy it makes the turret droop down a bit, so its not perfectly level, had to elevate the whole thing a bit so it can turn around more. Propably gonna insert a lead weight in the backside of the turret to balance it up. Thanks

Penitent mysteryman. No decorations or armor colors due to shameful display in the past. I think he probably let the previous Chapter Master die in an act of cowardice.

Probably counts-as Honor Guard ( relic blade ) or Death Company or Sword Brethren or just assault.

It's a pity Eviscerators arent more widespread in availability for SM units.

These guys weren't fat sperglords. I play EVE Online, I can deal with fatasses and sperglords. These two were those gangly-ass nerds that looked like they were freshmen at community colleges. One's personality was okay but he didn't shower or wash his face. The other one acted like he was a mildly schizophrenic twitter bot that regurgitated memes it got from interacting with internet trolls. His voice was filled with spit and he enunciated everything. Why can't there be more normal people in my town who play this game.

I'd probably be a lesbian though. Being a super hot guy wouldn't be bad either.

>>55025571

I was thinking unpainted ceramite which is greyish metallic or something like that, with a black helmet to denote shame.

Alternatively I could paint him in the colors of my chapter master which has a different scheme ( silver with purple shoulderpad inserts). My scheme is purple and bone white so it would really stand out.

My idea is to make a big unit or two of these penitent marines to count-as death company and Sword Brethren for when I want to play my chapter as BA or BT.

That's an odd way to hold a polearm. The lower knife on there is also a bit too obviously just a glued on knife.

>>55025837
Cut the hilt of the bottom of the spear-blade, otherwise anyone who looks at it will see to combat knives glued to a stick instead of a spear.

Could do with a more dynamic pose rather than "sticks gun and melee weapon out straight towards my enemy"

Otherwise, nice job, give him a nice paintjob!

Veterans have a silver helmet and sergeants black pauldron inserts ( like Blood Angels)

Even something as small as putting the gun hand down by his waist, raising the glaive hand and turning and raising his head slightly would make him look like he's heroically raising his staff, as to inspire his fellow men into battle. Its the small things that make a pose.

Definitely prefer the grey one, you could incorporate areas of red/gold onto your officers but I don't think large areas of red is the way to go at all.

Cool, thanks for the input. It just occurred to me that the officers wear cloaks/robes, so maybe colouring those red with gold embroidery would be a way to get the old fashion roman colours onto the model without totally over-doing it.

>>55026998
I respect you for doing a quartered scheme and I like the red. That being said I don't like the yellow, it's too brown and I think you need to go brighter

>Cool, thanks for the input. It just occurred to me that the officers wear cloaks/robes, so maybe colouring those red with gold embroidery would be a way to get the old fashion roman colours onto the model without totally over-doing it.
The robes would probably look good in black, with some red areas and stuff.

>>55027049
Hmmm, I'm having a hard time visualizing that, maybe I'll make my next project doing the two colour schemes side by side.

What the hell happened?
It's the same pot I always use, but it never did that before.

>>55026998
Your highlights looks like you just need practice. More than a steady hand, good edge highlighting comes from patience and getting the knack for the sweet spot in paint consistency. Thin enough that it goes smooth, thick enough that it doesnt run wild or retract on itself. Enough on your brush that you can get what you want done, but not so much that it makes a wide line. Make sure to use the edge of your brush where you can. Stick to edge highlights over stuff like curved armor soft highlights until you're a bit more confident with regular highlighting and then come back to those.

Also looks like you maybe did an all over brown wash in the yellow then covered it? Washes usually shouldnt be used all over flat marine armor due to the blotchy way they will dry, though you can do an all over wash of cassadora yellow on averland if you make sure it doesnt pool on flat surfaces - otherwise, stick to a recess wash. You might check out duncan's imperial fists armor tutorial.

Good luck with your bold scheme, bro.

My army needs more heavy armour right now but i cant be fucked to paint anything that isnt infantry

It doesnt help that it gets exponentially harder to paint using a brush the larger the area/panel thats being painted is

>>55027880
If you can press through the drag of getting their main armor done, it's always a blast to do weathering, put transfers on, do freehand, etc, but man is it uphill motivation wise to get there.

On the other hand, I love vehicles that you can hit with a rattlecan and metallic the weapons separately.

fluff question; do the eyes on a space marine helmet light up?
I'm painting the dead marine on the primaris apothecary at the moment and i'm wondering about how to do the eyes.

>>55028795
it depends on if you want them to or not. I mean, going off of reality, they would have no reason to light up. They're lenses, not headlights. But its all up to you.

>>55027656

Had the same thing happen to me. Shake the shit out of the tub (like you're Michael J Fox at a rave) and it'll fix it.

I think the pigment settles and if you're dipping from the top you're getting mostly medium. It ends up drying like gloss varnish.

Another coat once you've shaken it should fix it.

So what do you guys use for stripping metal miniatures? Like to actually get the paint off? I got two lictors where the idiot seller clogged up the details with primer and I soaked them in nail polish remover for a week and still can't get them off. I'm about to bin them and get new finecast ones so i dont habe to deal with idiots on ebay.

>>55029130
Look up "Easy Off" oven cleaner. Works great, just make sure you have gloves and are in a well ventilated area. Also make sure to use the heavy-duty kind.

>>55029130
If nail polish remover isn't working the guy probably didn't use primer. He probably used some time of enamel cause that shit should clean most things.

>>55026778
No one, any pointers? What domyou think about the colors i chose? Any feedback or opinions would be apreciated...

>>55026778
Sorry that nobody commented yet buddy

Your dwarf looks great
Especially how the skin and beard came out. Especially the glowing tatto part of his skin.

What's collecting fyreslayers like anyway? I always had trouble following who the heck anyone was in AoS

Whats's your dudes schtick?

>>55026778
I think you're in that awkward skill zone where your technique has no major flaws but there is still room for improvement. Makes it hard to give specific pointers.

>>55020177

Not geat but saveable imo.

Go over the gold areas again with a dark gold like brass scorpion. Then give them a brown was (agrax) or even sepia. Then give them a lighter gold (auric gold) drybrush.

The black areas, to quickly highlight black armour, the quickest and easiest way is just to just very very lightly drybrush JUST the raised edges with a metallic like ironbreaker or leadbelcher if you want him to look really dark and dirty.

The iron areas don't look awful, I'm guessing you did leadbelcher, black wash, drybrush? maybe do a lighter metal drybrush lightly on those areas like runefang steel maybe.

If you can repose that right arm to get rid of the big space, that would be ideal imo. I wouldn't worry if it means he's holding his sword in a less dramatic fashion, it will still look better.

Honestly, I really like the model you chose. It does look better than the actual abadon model but then I'm a big fan of putting named characters in helmets because I think it looks cool and different.

Hope that helps and honestly it's not as bad as some of the snobs on here are acting like it is. The only really bad part is the gold and that's just because you washed the gold with the wrong colour.

Thinning paints is vital, but on metallics it's ultra vital. Metallics really really really need thinning!

But this model is not beyond saving at all. Just follow the instructions above and it will be fine.

>>55024742

From the zero responses, I take it that my painting is flawless. Thanks /tg/

>>55029488
Probably because your photo is really bad.

From what little I can see, it kinda looks like you overused wash and are a maniac who stuck a centurion head on a tactical marine.

>>55029488

I must have missed the part where you asked for feedback

>>55029488

Fyreslayers are a duardin (dwarven) faction in aos of nekid raging, fire and axes loving slayer-like type of dwarf who instead of painting their skin with tattoes like to instead inbue themselves with ur-gold (totally not gold, OC do not steal) to gain more power.

I plan to just use it on special individuals like heroes since its very rare.

>my wife's minis

>>55029886
She does have some adeptas sororitas, like 5 or so. She kinda only paints minis she finds interesting (i.e: she likes the colors, paterns or the sculpt itself) or the ones i ask her to. She doesnt have much experience painting minies but she has always been good painting in general and manual arts too. Used to do nails too so i took advantage from it O_o... Man, i have painted one or two minis before but frankly i lack the patience to paint (tho i really like the concept of a nice painted mini; love them in fact) and i think im too brash to be a good painter, i hope to at least bea a decent one with time, A LOT of time mind you...

>>55030059
That sounds like a fun idea anon.

Even if there's very little room for improvement, I still enjoy seeing people's work to learn from them, imitate techniques, get ideas, etc. If there's something good someone's put effort into, hell - I wanna see that too. Good motivation to keep working.

That's a bit of slate on some 25mm bases. Not much you can do with 25mm without it getting overcrowded so uh, yeah looks average I suppose?

That's already at an above tabletop standard I'd say. Flesh looks damn good especially and the runes on his skin have a nice two-tone effect. Only criticism I can really give is that the metal looks a bit flat and the dark bits are really dark, might need another highlight on the plume and dark red bits.

If you want to try ascend to a more 'Eavy Metal/Golden Daemon standard I'd source guides and tips from elsewhere, /wipg/ can be real dodgy with advice.

If you're going the grey/white (which I prefer myself) then I think an officer would look better with a darker, more black and white scheme, possibly with a red helmet.

Kind of want to do my recently Stripped Kriegers like pic related as I have had them fluffed as anti Nurgle. Just not sure how I would really do it. Prime black followed by layers of grey on the sides or center? Straight white coats for Grenadiers, Engineers, and Officers? Would probably keep my commissars Officio Prefectus standard tho. Going to try a couple things now.

Posted in the 40k Gen last night, these tanks are base coated, and in spooked of doing weathering honestly. Rate the pattern though?

Scythed Hierodule progress report!

Did the Administratum Grey highlights, mainly around the spines. Usually I do the claws in red, but that teds to look gaudy. I think I'm gonna do the scythes in grey at the base, then build up to white, with a nulin wash to even things out.

After that, I did the initially splatterings of Macragge blue for the carapace. I know I didn't get everywhere, but I was using a wide and large brush to try and get as much surface area. I'm gonna go back with a smaller brush to get spots I missed later. Unfortunately, my blue is running dry, and I'll need to get some more before I can continue. Once the blue is on, I think I'll Nulin Oil it before doing Kantor Blue for the feathering.

Feed back is appreciated.

Pretty much personal preference of course, your point are really valid. Ill try to take a better pic another day and will try to upload it.

What's the best way to speed paint skaven skin? I'm just going for tabletop quality. Want to use earthshade as my wash since I'm doing the clothes as death guard greed and earthshade with nurgling dry brushing on the edges.

>>55032342
Personally I would make the armor a little more visible. The corpse looks way too old and weathered for how fresh that blood looks. I could just be full of shit though, I think the whole thing looks great regardless.

>>55017000
What colors do you use to add chipping weathering to Grey Knights or anything silver? Brown? Silver-er?

>>55034498
I'd go a brighter silver

>>55034560
The basecoat I've got on this marine is Leadbelcher hit once with Nuln Oil. I've got Ironbreaker highlights and Stormhost Silver extreme highlights

Would I sponge it with Stormhost Silver then? I've seen a few tutorials sponging with Rhinox Hide then adding a line of Runefang Steel/Stormhost Silver on one side of it to make some kind of illusion of depth

Got my thousand sons (of malice?) too. Any tips for a green glowy effect on the shoulders?

>>55035611

Sure.

Main colours are Sotek Green, Wild Rider Red and Celestra Grey.

The weapons, vents etc are vallejo Jade Green and Gauss Blaster Green.

Armour Chipping/Damage is Rhinox Hide.

>>55035623

I know, but fuck me if this doesn't take hours.
I need to take a break from painting Tau I think, so many sharp edged/segmented armour plates.

>>55035484
You actually made that suit look really nice, and I've never been a fan of it.

>>55035484
How'd you put your Citadel paints in droppers? Did you use flow aid?

>>55035711
Definitely glaze the shoulders, then probably just use drybrushing for OSL.

>>55035785

I just used water, flow aid might have been a better option because they get clogged at the nozzle fairly regularly.

But then again, I'm a cheapass.

>>55035854
Did you just use cheap bottles from Amazon/eBay?

Considering pulling the trigger myself, it's tempting. 15ml, yeah?

>>55035884

I think so yeah, bear in mind though that after adding thinner you'll have more that 15ml of paint to transfer, I remember having leftovers when transferring full pots.

I think it's worth it overall though, I've started to move away from citadel for a lot of stuff though just because of the pots which is a shame, the quality of the paint is actually pretty good and there are some paints (the Edge range in particular) that don't have a good analogue in other ranges.

>>55035952
I might go with 20ml then. Not dramatically larger and it's not the end of the world if the bottle isn't full.

>>55017000
Hi guys, I'd like to make an specific effect on my Deff Dread and I am not sure how to paint it

I would like to get a metal box with bad painting (red/blue/yellow) on it to make it Orky, and add some rust.

I was thinking of making more or less like the citadel tutorial:
- Leadbleacher (Base)
- Rust shades/wash (rinox hide heavily, then more orange tones but less heavy)
- Paint the color but rather thin so you can see the metal below.

What do you think of this? Shouldn't I do the paint effect first then the rust? How should I make the paint effect (just diluted like 2:1 paint:water?)

>>55035484
Those look amazing. You really make me want to paint up my Ghostkeel good.

What parts did you paint separately before assembling?

Also;
>Citadel paint and the labels transferred over too
Are you some sort of wizard? That is a fucking brilliant idea.

>>55025200

The labels transfer over ridiculously easily, it's almost like they were made to be liberated and put on bottles that aren't awful garbage.

Layered foamcore and spackle. The base is mattboard and stripped foamcore, with pecked holes for the support columns (all five are cut from the same dowel). The floors are coffee stirrers from Cash and Carry cut to length and glued into position with cross-members. I dye them with sepia artist's inks and then weather with light overbrushing and craploads of sand/glue. The coffee stirrers are the reinforcements/pediments on the walls as well.

Whole thing cost about two bucks so far, including paint, and it's taken ~three hours of work not including research. Floor plan is based on this historical Egyptian house, although I think I posted the last WiP in the /awg/ thread.

Would you accept this as a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh (with Dual Talons mechanically for what its worth).

Still not complete as I want to have a pair of Daemonette arms coming out of his back as well as give him a suitably scenic 50mm base, probably with a couple of fawning Daemonettes on it.

Who said anything about Space Marine? Not all Daemon Princes were Marines.

>>55036871
In truth, there is nothing that says a daemon prince has to be a hulking monstrosity.

>>55036889
presumably he is going to be HQ for a CSM army so it stands to reason he would have been a space marine at some point

>>55036912
>presumably he is going to be HQ for a CSM army

No, pure Slaanesh Daemon

>>55036923
oh then where are the tits?

>>55036923
then how come he's dressed entirely in dark eldar gear?
non-astartes slaaneshi daemon princes usually look like nagas

>>55036929
Going for more the obsessed duelist thing ala Lucius
>>55036950
Because I haven't filed stuff down/painting him up Slaaneshi yet. Just messing around with poses and ideas for now.
>non-astartes slaaneshi daemon princes usually look like nagas
Slaanesh of all gods would probably appreciate some variety in his servants, the naga thing has been done to death

>>55036860
So long as he stands tall enough to have a similar enough silhouette to a normal DP (which seems like no issue here), then sure. It's nice and creative.

>>55036860
Maybe get some leathery wings or something, just to hammer home that he is a DP

>>55037097
He's about the same height and I'll get him a 60mm base if I go this route and cover it with plenty of corpses and groupies so he has the same footprint in terms of game space. I'm not 100% sold on it myself though.
>>55037148
Thought about it, kind of makes the hover tentacle board redundant though. You're right that its a lot more classically Daemon Princey though

>>55037205
I think the Daemonette arms might fill the visual role of wings pretty well anyway.

>>55037205
Lets take a step further, you can clip off one wing,or both halfway, make it all rugged

so that they look damaged and then the hoverboard makes sense again

>>55037276
Thats true, I'll see how they look once they arrive
>>55037281
I like that; or maybe just have them be wings too small to support him, either way he'd be vain enough to use the hoverboard to compensate
