This could have been much worse!

I'm curious to know what colour that is, its almost exactly the same colour I was using on my purple guys before GW redid their paints, and I couldnt get the colour right without extensive mixing.

Hexed Lichen by Vallejo. Whatever purple you've had before, this one is better.

E: also I'd love a glamour shoot if these wonderful boys

They're not that great. They're just a result of me trying to re-learn how to paint after a ~10 year break.

Here's an album I made of them ages ago though after I stopped painting them, and a few of them are incomplete. Most don't have highlights.

Plus I'm focusing on my Blood Angels more now.

Thanks. They're getting harder to paint since I'm getting tremors in my hands. Hopefully I finish painting them before they look like my first models, heh.

Yes but they were also older than a bunch of the people playing the game today, with no new model support for over a decade by the time they got squatted.

Box dreads are great for converting into helbrutes if you're not into the weird fleshy aesthetic the GW models have going on and for that reason I hope they keep the kits.

Is it workable if you brush it on the model in a thin coat instead of actually dipping it or is it still too thick?

I use MinWax all the time for historical minis, and yes, I apply it with a brush to get a thinner, more consistent coat.

Kindly Reminder:

1, we are loyal fans of mould making.

2, as lovers, we program the procedures, product the model.

3. The model is made of resin material. After the completion of the model, there may be some extra parts around the model

and some small burrs. But it doesn't matter. We can clean them by ourselves.

4. A brand new, not a colored.

5. Some models (bent) need to be heated with hot water, soften it, and then adjust the model properly.You can put it in water for a few minutes at 65 degrees Celsius

6. The model material must choose sandpaper No. 2000 or above,so that can protect the effective model

7. Color the model will be a difficult task, I believe it will spend a lot of time carefully painting for make a good model

of finished products.

8. I hope you will like our products and expect you to complete your model. We also want to see your Excellent results.

Looking forward to your email reply.

Seems legit.

When I dip, I have them mounted on nails (glued to bottom of base). I put that nail in the chuck of a power drill and spin that poo poo off into a cardboard box.

You want a light+even+liquid coat, so that when you set your guy down it pools SLIGHTLY in corners and such.

I'm curious what shows up if you order chinacasts of plastic models. Do you just get the full sprue but in resin or do they part it out?

Is there any way to run Palatine Enforcers in 40k?

Thematically speaking, they'd make appropriate rank & file backup for the Sisters of Silence, but 1) scions no longer get bolters & shotguns options, and 2) marine scouts have way too much rules baggage to stand-in for local police.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Sisters of Battle squads? They're S3/T3 and have bolters. Armor maybe looks a little light for 3+ but :shrug:

Great paint, and I love that you have so many terminators.

If manlets start to go the way of the squato, I hope more and more of the living manlets don't cross the rubicon primaris and instead become terminators.

I thought maybe sisters but 3+ is pretty generous and while cops can be superstitious they don't generally work miracles.

Hopefully they'll get something in the DARK MILLENNIUM PSYCHEDELIC AWAKENING.

Eisenhorn talks a lot about cops using Land Speeders so the Speeders Storm the scouts can take would make sense.

I guess it's going to come down to which bothers you more: having 3+/6++/AoF thing or them having S4/T4.
