Well I might as well burn the harlequins I do have because they'll never look that good.

In other news, I got a halfway decent app for my camera so I've been playing around with the settings to get better pictures.

Here are some plaguebearers that I've been working on. Always a joy to paint these gross buggers and they're a great pallet cleanser after detail heavy Admech.


And close up of one of them

Looking good dude. Maybe would have converted one with the Blastmaster and the scourge on different hands for a bit of variety, but they look great regardless.

Well, here's the arm swap: think it turned out ok!



Now, if only I could paint worth a drat. :v:

At this point I might just buy the shapeways shoulder pads.
I was thinking about doing that for my Primaris bros but once I started seeing painted examples of them I wasn't so thrilled. They're just still kinda fuzzy and have those telltale 3D printing lines on them. I came this close too.

I think the insignias (not full pads) look good. Zuul's howling griffons use them and they look great.

I'd need to see some close up photos of just those; unfortunately the printers haven't been posting any sorta closeups or anything that shows much detail outside of renders.

The fluff is all about how awful it is to be stuffed inside a Hellbrute, but I think that the Sonic Hellbrutes might enjoy it a bit more: pumped full of drugs, blaring some house at the enemy, sounds like a good time! :ducksiren:

I'm actually working out how to add a small, but loud mp3 player inside a land raider or rhino for my slaanesh army. I want to load it up with Merzbow, Kid 606, Aphex Twin, and various other songs.

If my opponent wants me to turn it off, they have to kill it.

Oh my god, that's an amazing idea: I was thinking of getting of the flashing LEDs that they put in the cheap plastic stuff they give out at parties and such here, and seeing if I could attach them to one of the Hellbrutes, one of my rhinos or something so I could have the rave on the move, but yours is truly brilliant. :D

Thanks doods. A lot of people use vinyl stencils for their diamonds, but those work much better with an airbrush. I don't own one, so my diamonds and gradients are all free hand.

Honestly, you just have to go for it. Do them a few times and they'll look like mine. And mine are no where near as perfect as a stencil.

Edit: I could integrate this little gem with a slightly larger speaker, power it with some batteries and have some real fun.

Guitar Noise Marines are pretty rare these days though, totally out of print. The modern blastmaster cannons are just weaponized beatboxes and could easily blast metal or EDM both.

I like the idea of metal-head noise marines, like that guitar guy from the latest Mad Max film. But then that style of Slayer metal almost feels more Khorne than Slaanesh.

Slaanesh really makes me think of like, planet-scale rave parties. Blasting the music so loud that you feel the bass across the entire surface of the planet, and they're just moshing their way through cities tearing people apart while dancing and blasting the music and hyped up on all kinds of drugs

I have one or two of the Guitar Noise Marines somewhere: someone traded them to me ages back, I think one's on a Goblin Green base and everything. . . .

Noise Marines can probably get hyped on any music, also all the drugs they've got being pumped into their sysems. :v:

My Dark Eldar army had a theme similar to that: they glass planets to make them into giant disco-balls so they can suitably large strobe-lighting for their Space Raves. Back in. . . 6th(?) I think it was, I had them allied with my Noise Marines. :ducksiren:

That's cool news about transport disembarking being "within" vs "wholly within" ...I think my Orks will benefit from that subtle difference from here on...
