I dislike the titan pretty hard there, it makes no thematic sense. It's like putting a dozen murals of from an American history 101 textbook on an aircraft carrier.

I've been trying to stay on top of painting while I've had some time off work. Here's what I've done with Mortarion over the last few days.

Base metallics done on this one


Had a full 8 hour painting session on New Years Eve, so I got a ton done.


Really like how the eyes turned out:


Then last night I did part of the wings. The bottom halves are done. I need to do the upper part, but don't have the paints for it.



Still to do: Tons. I need to do the nurglings, the base, the cloth on various parts of Mortarion like the grenades, some slime on the wings and some more metallic bits. I also need to add some rust and grime in the pock marks on his armor.

I think up next I'll paint up my Foul Blightspawn. That looks like a fun model.

This will be the first model I finish in 2019.

Hello, 40k Thread. The 30k Thread has begun its annual descent into madness with some very strong toxxes this year. Feel free to join in, we're actually tracking things for once! I swear!

Official 2019 30k Thread :toxx: Post

This year, we've decided to do things a little differently and keep a wide range of options open for toxxers. Three fast attack choices will be the main theme for the year as we feel those units are underrepresented compared to things like vets and dreadnoughts. However, folks are free to toxx as they please as shown in the previous posts by actual insane people.

For anyone lacking imagination, please feel free to pick from the following suggestions:
  • Three Fast Attack units
  • 1500 points of Adeptus Titanicus
  • An actual 28mm Titan



Seriously, poke your head in and see what some people have already toxxed. It's nuts.

I love people painting dumb murals on 40k things and think it should be encouraged, but yeah a selected few murals with a muted simple color scheme for the rest would go a long way to making that more readable and showing off the skill.

But, whatever. It's still dumb as hell and it's awesome.

Here’s mine, anyone else want to match?


:toxx: for 2019:

A conversion consisting of the following criteria:

1) Source bits must be from no less than 5 different models, one can be the “base” of the character/unit.

2) Source bits must also be from at least 3 different faction keywords, however doesn’t need to be evenly distributed.

3) At least one weapon must be uniquely built.




Now the hard part...


4) Must be fully painted and based.

1) finish my 2500 pt plan for my homebrew chapter, plus the forgeworld model I bought for fun, including weathering and display board, in time for Nova.

2) I will be at Nova.

3) Finally remember which one is Dan and which one is Campbell.

The work is skilled - but it's ugly and both defies the setting while raggedy cutting across its grain.

The idea of an individual guardsman or transport lander being immortalized on the carapace of a god titan goes in the face of "...you will not be missed."

These things are revered embodiments of the Machine God. No titan legion would desecrate that with hodge-podge unrelated imagery like it's the MAGAbomber's van.

Reading the internet would lead one to believe that priming my space barbies will result in losses, humiliation, and ugly mans? I live in Colorado and the chances of it being above 60 anytime soon are slim, it is perfectly acceptable to prime with a brush right?

You can prime in a ventilated basement, garage, attic, or even bathroom with the fans on. Just test spraying something inconsequential like a plastic spoon first.

I've spent most of my life in the upper Midwest. It's totally fine to spray prime outdoors in the 20s.

Spray, then bring them in to dry. Repeat. You won't get crusty models.

I've been priming outdoors in NYC this winter, I try to aim for ~50 out, and bring everything back inside as soon as it's coated to dry. So far so good when working in the low 30s (except for the red on my Warglaive armor, both times that came out bumpy but I think I didn't shake it enough or sprayed too close.)

I'd say if you're really concerned obviously you can just hit a couple models and see how it goes, but overwhelmingly I've seen people say as long as you don't leave everything outside and it's not actively raining/snowing on you, you'll be fine.

I too live in Colorado.

Shake the hell out of your primer. If you're really worried about temperature, put the can in a sink full of warm water and let it warm up again.

Take the toys outside, spray them, bring them back inside. As long as it isn't snowing you should be fine.

If you absolutely cannot spray-prime, then Valejo surface primer works ok brushed on. It won't be as good as spray/airbrush but it will get the job done. Also It will look scary when it's wet but will shrink once dried.
