Tabletop Warhammer?

So there isn't a Knight Tyrant kit, we only get the Imperium one :(

Spent so long over the last week or so shaving all the twiddly trim off this and replacing with traitor style stuff. It's a bit rough but I'm quite confident it'll paint up nicely. Hard when converting stuff to Chaos to strike a nice balance between looking too vanilla, and looking like you've just stuck a load of random stuff on top of a model but quite happy with this I think. It's all held together with blu tac at the moment because I'm not the sort of pervert that paints knights fully assembled. Not on your nelly



Also definitely a big old chunky boy:

My not as impressive as above update. I've now assembled all of my plague marines. I tried to vary the loadout as much as possible, however I did decide to get another box anyway so I can play 10.
I mixed and matched a lot of parts from different ones to get the loadout so I wanted, also the guy second from the right has the best drilled bolter I've done and typically he's pointing at the ground.

I just need to bore out the plague belcher and maybe the blight launcher I may just be able to paint that affect because it's already hollowed out a little bit.

I am contemplating getting some backup paint on primer for when I cannot use my sprays.

I could never get on with spry cans myself. Got myself an airbrush and never looked back.

Got a flawless result with the first attempt so personally not going to spend the amount needed to get a decent airbrush and compressor which I'll use for a bit then never use agaiin. I get the appeal if you do a lot of painting etc but once I have an army or two done that will be it.

Right Poxwalkers almost done!! Just noticed there a few models need their teeth, eyes and glasses done.

Really pleased on how they turned out. Half were done with contrast for skin only then the last 15 was done fully with contrast (apart from boils). Think i prefer the full contrast which were done in in about 20% of the time lol

Only thing I'm not sure on is the bases. Would a light earth instead of dark earth look better? Wouldn't take to much work to switch it up. Need to make my mind up for I start the rest of the army.




The storm speeder is coming along nicely. Just done oil pin wash. It's a learning experience that's for sure. Kept placing my finger tips on area's which were freshly done hah

In the meantime here's the cockpit!!

 
Any tips on edge highlights? Really tricky - would like to do more on Dante but keep messing up.

Metallic paints are a pain to highlight with. My suggestion would be to mix a lighter gold (such as Stormhost Silver in to your base gold colour 40:60 and highlight the raised areas (top of the abs, top of thigh, top of knee joint etc) rather than edge highlighting metallics. You can spot highlight with pure stormhost silver for your top highlight/reflection point.

So an eldar nerf rightfully hit. Still think fireprisms and the wraith-knight are too cheap. The knight in particular when you compare it to imperial knights that also got significant point increases.
Guard artillary got points increases which really weren't need as guard are a c/d tier army atm.
Think desolation squads got a bit of a steep increase too.

Oh that's cool. I'm still going to keep the extra box though because I can dabble with loadouts still.

No changes to the index card though, so I assume all of the rules are staying the same and you can have three units of 10 marines if you want.

On some random video I was watching, they said that ideally you want to equip your chaos havocs all with the same weapon and I thought why? Is it because say you are targeting armour with whatever is good against armour.. is it better to have five models firing at once instead of having one out of 5 firing with one weapon.

I think it looks OK as it is but not great. Will mix the paints and give it a shot. Next will be the axe and that seems tricky.
