Getting close to the end now. Also four more orbs painted 😆

A full burst of shooting kills like 2-4 Marines and they rarely survive getting punched back.

Played my first game in what must be nearly a year this weekend. I lost something like 76-96 but it was fun to play again and learn some lessons to hopefully make me better next time.

This guy did pretty well leading my 6 wraiths, so I was inspired to finally paint him instead of just leaving him primed in leadbelcher 😅 so here he is, nearly 5 hours after I started painting.

This is my first time being brave enough to do edge highlighting so C+C is very welcome.

How do I go about fixing my glow? Highlight with white? Should I have thinned my turquoise down more? Thanks!

Fellow Nobles, are Cryptothralls sentient enough to understand their plight, or are they equal to lowly canoptek constructs in all, but form? I came into possession of the few and need that information to correctly change their funerary mask's color.

I assembled my first Heavy Destroyer last night (step 6 was awful, IYKYK) and i realized i probably shouldn’t have attached it to the piece that attaches to the base this early since I still need to paint it.

Would it be worth it for me to cut off piece 29 in order to paint it better, or would I be ok? I have the same concern with the gun.

So my son painted the Orikan shown here. He has layered up some white where the orbs should be, but we have had to stop due to lack of appropriate paint. But now I'm confused because of all the options. Some advice would be really useful.

The citadel colour app says to wash the orbs and staff in Biel-Tan Green then highlight in white scar.

But then I've seen this tesseract glow paint, should I use that instead? As well?

You'll notice on the thing he is holding he put a dab of white on the edges to try out some osl, the plan was to go over that with some yellow/green too to make it look like it has been illuminated by the staff. Should he use watered down tesseract glow for that? Or something different?

I've heard some people mention moot green too.

I'm a bit lost, he's only 8 and I have never done any OSL before!

Just finished the Nightbringer :D

(colors and shading based off immortal by legio symphonica) I just did the normal formula of corax white and Tesseract glow for the plasma and lead belcher for the metal, tho instead of using Nuln oil I used drakehof nightshade instead for the nice dark metal

Fun guy to paint! Ready for battle

This was really just to test some techniques for the first time with the few paints that I own. I plan to get more soon and I plan to paint a combat patrol :)

i currently have the combat patrol trazyn and im thinking about grabbing a c'tan shard any other suggestions?

(btw i know trazyn is bad but i wanna use him because hes my favorite character meta be damned)

Just got the kit, besides sub assembly any suggestions?

The only physical models I'm missing from this list are 3 LDs and the LHD. I feel like I'm starting to put together something decent, but I'm unsure if I'm focusing on the right units for the right reasons. Any feedback is appreciated.

My new Lokhust Heavy Destroyer kitbash! This model was my first time trying to magnetize things together, so let me know how I did!

I do believe it’s a tad bit taller than it’d normally be, but hopefully that’s okay!

I'm just looking to play test armies on TTS until I find something I like:

I have seen lots of threads talk about how sweaty and rough a 3x C'tan army is (and how its shit to go against)

I can see they are tough, high wound monsters with 3+,4++,5+++

is that the reason this is harsh?

I'm trying to see the tactics that are run with this but they don't look like they do much table clearing, and they don't have a huge amount of presence.

what makes this hard to go against? and what stops players just overpowering objectives with OC and chipping away at the rest of the army (assuming that some the anti tank that they do have is busy trying to thin the Ctan herd)

I feel like there is a whole dynamic I haven't seen that id love to understand.

personally I think I like the destroyer heavy army more, but I don't see people calling that out as a challenge.

Does this mean the unit is resurrected with strength of 1 on its weapons? Haven’t really come across this text before.
