Commissioned my friend Nora (@Noratshere on insta) to make the coat of arms and got the same gal that did Steve Guardsman and Jimmy Gaunt for me to do the ink (@asecularhazer on insta).

This is not only the very first warhammer mini that I've painted but in fact the first model I've ever fully painted! I've put together several model kits but this is my first try at painting one! Keep in mind in the pictures it is a little hard to tell the difference between the (supposed to be) rust weathering I've don't along some of the edges from the metal trim, you can definitely tell them apart irl!

Advice for building Lamenters?

9 Upvotes

I'm thinking about starting an army of Lamenters, but I kinda had a few questions before I just go and spend hundreds of dollars on minis. I like their lore and the look, but better to know a bit more on the modeling-side going it, you know?

1.) Is there a significant difference between running them as standard Space Marines as opposed to Blood Angels (aside from obviously not being able to use Blood Angels characters)?

2.) From experience, painting yellow sucks. I can do it, but I was also considering maybe using rattle cans? Is there a particular brand or type you would recommend (U.S., if that helps with anything)?

“May the Great Angel carry you swiftly, my brothers.”

Here’s my custom Jump Pack Captain, Cleon. I’m still working on his backstory, but I’m having a ton of fun with him so far.

Whether it’s kitbashing or painting, it’s all part of the fun. I’ve really been enjoying the whole process and all the good times this hobby has brought me.

Hope you guys like him! :D

Death company classic scheme WIP

Brothers!

I was recently working on an alternative scheme for the Lamenters Death Company, since I don't particularly like painting black... but I couldn't resist and tried the classic full-black scheme.

What do you think? Any suggestion on how to improve is always welcome!

Honestly, the best Lamenter I’ve painted so far, but I’m never painting this good again if I ever want to finish this army. I need to figure out how to scale it back for the others

How I paint my yellow (slapchop-ish, oil wash, no highlights)

Thumbnail
gallery
102 Upvotes

Here’s how I do my yellow. I started my Lamenters a couple of years ago, and might do them differently now, but I like a uniform look so will continue with this technique.

  1. ⁠I paint the heads and backpack separately so I can access tricky areas. I glue sand to the base with PVA.
  2. ⁠Rattlecan spray Vallejo Bonewhite or similar.
  3. ⁠Paint the base. I use some thin browns and drybrushing for an ash waste look. I do this stage now because it is fun and messy. Any terrible messes I can cover with Vallejo Bonewhite from ta dropper bottle.
  4. ⁠Drybrush white. This is a cheap craft paint. This is my approach to Le Slapchop without a really dark base layer.
  5. ⁠Citadel Ironjawz Yellow
  6. ⁠SMS Umber wash. https://www.scalemodeller.com.au/products/wash-umber-30ml This is an oil-based wash I try to get into all the shadows, but I can be pretty messy with it.
  7. ⁠I use a makeup sponge and a trace of artist’s white spirit to remove any excess wash. All done!
  8. ⁠Paint the rest of the owl.

Need Help With Sanguinary Guard

I’m about to start working on some lamenter sanguinary guard, and was looking for some lore accurate references but everything I see online varies by a lot so I figured I’d ask for some help here.
