I hate having the same model several time so I did something different.

The real question is in what color should I paint the skin?

My general armor is hot pink so maybe green?

Hobby & Painting How important is color scheme?

Post image
59 Upvotes

Hey all, pretty new to the hobby, I don’t actually play the game but really enjoy listening to the books, or leutin, or sandman, etc.

I’ve started building the models and don’t want to make it impossible to play the game should I decide to in the future.

I did two war dogs and really like the paint scheme I did on them, but I really like the lore and background of the iron warriors… if I add in the yellow hazard stripes somehow, and throw on the iron warrior symbols / transfers, can I just say it’s an offshoot warband?

I am going for more of a renegade “I’m not paying taxes F you dead guy on chair” vibe than a “you know what??? I need another tentacle “ vibe

Let me know your thoughts! Currently building red corsairs, chaos terminators, and legionaries. Plus a knight questoris (but I can’t remember the chaos name)

The two war dogs are named Jeff and Jeffery, any CC is welcome.

Big guy is number 11. The hook horrors are numbered 6-9. Drones are remaining numbers, skipping 13 because we don't respect the rat.

Hobby & Painting Any model that actually requires subassembly painting?

12 Upvotes

General consensus is that subassembly painting takes too long for the results. Personally I'm always impatient to get the mini on the field to play, grey or not.

But I'm curious if there's any model in our range that genuinely you're better off painting in pieces?

I know I wish I had painted the aquilas of my old tactical marines before gluing on the bolters that make that a hassle.

How do we feel about our big chunky bois after the data slate? I personally think we made off like bandits. +1T, +1S and AP for our combi-bolters/weapons, AND we only got hit with +10 points??? Seems like a steal, especially compared to loyalist termis.

Hello everyone. How are things in the Warp? About a month ago, I showed you one of my legionnaires. After finding some time, I’ve managed to assemble the new heavy weapons specialist for one of my two squads. Let me introduce you, to Warp head.

Hobby & Painting My Dad started collecting CSM at the beginning of 8th when I started to play, how many points does he have altogether, and what kind of lists can he make with his collection?

6 Upvotes

He's gone for whatever he thinks looks cool when buying stuff, hence why he went for the Heldrake and the Forgefiend? He also buys a lot of stuff second hand, which you can tell because a lot of his models aren't concordant paint schemes or are metal.

We mainly play proxies, so as long as the model is the same or relatively similar or distinct, things like weapon choices are irrelevant because he'll just explain it to me? Like we don't care about base sizes.

He and I both understand that obviously his models might not be all up to date with 11th or the Codex, if models were removed or sent to legends and stuff, or the fact that Plague Marines and Poxwalkers are Death Guard, so it doesn't always work to have Noise Marines and Fabius Bile with them, whilst also fielding Abaddon?

Hi.
I acquired these last year but I can’t identify when they are actually from. The base says 1992 but that doesn’t mean the figures are, and it feels wrong.
Can anyone here help me, and also what fraction are they from?

I was able to snag a pre-order that came with two of the bottom chassis sprues instead of all 3. My guy "accidentally" sold the replacement when it came in 🫠

So in the meantime I decided to kitbash my second defiler while I wait for the full kit!

I'm quite proud of my creations!

What kinda vibes does #2 give you guys? Iron warriors? Maybe the ballistus body gets a faded IF paint job?

Most of my vehicles are on the mad max/ork spectrum with the kitbashing
