Some stuff I've been working on:        My Spirit Otter posted:My local shop is going to start a 30k escalation league and i figure thats obviously the best time to get into it. I need help on deciding a legion. If you dig go back in this thread to around summer of last year, we put together breakdowns for most of the legions. Do you have an idea of what type of game you want to play? Highly mobile? Psychic powers? Heavy armor? Lots of melee? Fliers? Something easy? Something hard? All the legions did all things, but some did niches better than others. This said, unlike some other GW games you're not blowing your leg off by not playing whatever the latest greatest meta army is. You don't need to play the most optimum legion or have the best list in order to win games or have fun. BULBASAUR fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Jan 20, 2023 |

1. Think of which Legion do you like fluff of the most. 2. Imagine what kind of force composition would make that a reality. 3. Ask the threat whether there's anything massively wrong with the list.

Thanks bulbasaur and jcdent for responding. And thanks to everyone who wrote summaries, especially that one that made me feel like i was having a stroke. Im down to iron hands and death guard. 90% in favour of death guard because the iron hands paintjob looks boring as gently caress

As an Iron Hands player, make sure you want to paint it 50+ times. Just do a test model for each and see what feels better. Both great choices, for sure.

I used the praetors from the box set to make some kitbashes and I ended up not being happy with them since they were my first. I'm going back to the drawing board and trying again at some point, but I have one thing I need to figure out before I do. Should an Iron Warriors warsmith wear a cape?

Your Iron Warrior Warsmith should wear a cape if and only if you can decide on a good color for it that fits with the rest of his design.

I have a ton of fw custodes still to work on, including models I don’t plan on using in 40K like the older bikes, and aquilion terminators. How are custodes in the new 30k? I was hesitant because when I picked everything up they were busted at the time for old 30k, and so i shelved most of the project and just played them in 40K where I enjoy playing more competitively.

Until I've decided what to paint the praetor cape I kitbashed a MK6 breacher for my iron warriors based on this video  I might remove the head crest for looking a little too imperial fist like. Also I might bulk up the shield with some green stuff.

I was really hoping for the bird skull helmet from the old 40k forgeworld Raven Guard upgrade set, but I guess those are neat. I think I can do without them, though.

The feather crest looks pretty sick! I do miss the old raven skull though. Anyone know of a site with the old OOP forgeworld stuff? I have a bunch of vague memories of the old legion boxnaughts and stuff but it would be nice to have pics.

Done some more Night Lords! Bought these Tartaros terminators already assembled and painted. Sadly very well glued together with plastic cement, so only thing I could do is add some Night Lords bling to them and call it a day.

Actually, come to think of it, if I really wanted to do a Raven Guard army with varied in-theme helmets, I'd probably pick up the helmet upgrade sets from a bunch of traitor legions I thought looked cool and which had notably divergent physical structures from the normal beakie helmet (off the top of my head: probably Sons of Horus and Iron Warriors and maybe World Eaters, probably not Death Guard, and I think the rest are too close to normal beakie helms to have the right effect), leave the overall helmet structures in place but shave off specific legion symbols if they have them, and sprinkle them in with the normal beakie helms to represent guerilla Raven Guard who've had to scavenge helmets from other legions they've fought.

The bad news is it costs 160 USD. https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Sisters-Of-Silence-Kharon-Pattern-Acquisitor-2017

ijyt posted:Oooh, not seen NL done so dark and sans lightning before, really nice take. Do you have any more? I painted a tactical squad and while they were supposed to look like these terminators, they came out different, which I tried to fix since I posted them in this thread month ago. With no much success. They were my first attempt at this colour scheme a lot of mistakes were made with the exact use of oils, stippling, colours and my mind stuck to the "edge highlight everything" method. Heresy and marines in general are very different from what I normally paint, but I feel I'm getting better!  Lucinice posted:How do you do the dirty legs effect? It's something I've wanted to try for a while. This might sound silly but I just...brush pigment powder on the base and the legs. In this case burnt sienna. That's all. The trick is not to fix the powder with anything as it will turn into paint and lose its dusty look. (See the picture above to see what happens when you varnish it.)
