How do you guys stop black armor from being boring? I've been painting up so many iron hands and it's honestly pretty dull. I do some edge highlighting using runefang steel since I like the look on my chaos warriors. I've experimented with doing some highlighting with P3 Coal Black like with some of my black warmachine minis, but while it looks good on flatter surfaces it looks odd on helmets and shoulders. And plus on the shoulders where the light would be hitting it in the center of the curve is where a decal goes anyway.

I need to take a break and paint up some of my primaris marines using my goon chapter thread paint scheme, that was fun to paint. I'm wanting to do my guardsmen up in black and red too, might get started on that. A color scheme something like this:


I try to avoid painting actual black, since you can't shade it any further. I use a very dark grey (Vallejo Model Color Black Grey), wash that with Nuln Oil, and that's my near-black base coat.
You might also consider giving your black a "temperature," to enhance contrast and visual interest. The Tale of Painters tutorial that Zuul the Cat posted uses a lot of blue and blue-grey highlights for the black base, which tends to give a "cooler" temperature to the model. SRM (I think? It's been a while) has posted some Black Templars whose armor has a dark brown tinge, making it seem "warmer."

Come to the Painting Thread for more tips! (Assuming you don't read that thread already. I put a link to page 1 since that's where the most common tips are located.)

Yes. They're one of the eight regiments in the book, plus there's been some cost rebalancing.

I'm absolutely lolling at the fact that plague marine icon bearers and champions are being sold separately, £20 each for a model worth 30 points. I wonder if they will be monopose too.

Not sure what the intent is with them as you can also build a champion or icon bearer from the regular plague marine box, or buy the snapfit box and get a champion + 2 friends for much cheaper!

I think a lot of GW's releases are based around people just sculpting whatever and GW packaging and selling them. I'm guessing they couldn't fit those sculpts into the regular frames and here we are. Same with the anniversary Primaris sarge.

So there's a guy at one of the stores here who has a full 2k+ army of Sisters painted nude.
The greaves, gauntlets, and shoulders were painted up as armor, with the torsos and upper legs painted in fleshtones.

He was eventually banned from bringing them to the store, which is hilarious considering the time that went into them.

Options for a champion and icon bearer are in the plague marine kit. It's kind of weird, but these two are just intended as alternate sculpts.

Stories like this (and 40k related subreddits) are what make me wish I had local Goons because I've never played 40k and it sounds terrifying out there in the wild.

Sometimes I buy models off of ebay where I can't tell if it's a recast - this creates the "Schrodinger's Slap" where the sculptor is both slapped and unslapped until the model is received and inspected.

In the case of some finecast models, the ambiguity is permanent.

I want to recast the sculptor of the new Typhus model, so the god that gave them life gets slapped in the face. That model is a dumpster fire.

Now, who can direct me to where I can get the old Typhus sculpt, but 25% larger?

They need to have a 40k Re-cast episode where two people other than Dan and Campbell attempt to replicate the show, but don't release the episode for 6-8 weeks.

Then when they do, we have to edit it because of mould slippage and terrible smelling release agent.

Who's team are you on? The 40kSexmans or the Re-cast Resinbois.

come at me bro
So through a little trick I call "hating money", I have acquired some Genestealer Cultmans. I am not super interested in GSCs except insofar as they are glue that holds together Guard and Tyranids, which I am very interested in.

I have 12 or so Neophytes, 20ish Acolytes, 4 abberants, and also maybe 40 mantic scifi zombies destined to be conscripts. What else should I aim for (apart from the GSC HQs) if I want to stay away from hordes and lean heavily towards big bugs and tanks?
