They were most likely farmed out to normal (non-professional painter) FW staff to do in their off hours, with a week or two to do it in, in exchange for a free box. I'd bodge it as well, then re-paint them later.

I'm going to get mine from Dark Sphere, the release came at a bad time for me so I'm glad it's not limited. Ebay UK has plastic Contempors at £30 and the Cataphractii for £20, for future reference. Probably cheaper to get the whole box and sell off the models you don't want or need.

Normally I'd go with elementgames.co.uk, as their postage is way way more reasonable. With DS I find that the ludicrous postage rates essentially negate the discount nowadays. Although with this box DS are the only people I can see applying a 20% discount, for some reason Element and Wayland are going with 10%.

I've realized with the decline of metal minis the art of pinning seems to have vanished.

Pinning is a pain in the arse. That the weakness of the the medium was not taken into account with the Raptors, Swooping Hawks etc is a black mark on the sculptors. They look nice, but the design was idiotic.

Given that they've been sitting on the plastics from Calth since last year, I wonder if the timing of this release is to try and boost numbers after the apparent failure of AoS.

I don't know what that is but probably.


I can some it up in one quote. "It [sic] cannot believe that the very ship carrying five companies of my battle-brothers and en-route to Calth was destroyed before reaching Vangelis in a random act of Xenos contrition"

It looks like Kabalite Green for the most part with Incubi Darkness on the darker areas to me. But it could be the FW one, I believe they are similar.

Yes please, some must have a "You wouldn't believe their technique! 'Eavy Metal painters hate him!" cheat for those dumb things.

Touch the end of a cocktail stick to paint, then to the rivet. After a while you'll have a build ot of dried paint on the cocktail stick that makes it less precise though.

The 'leak' photos originated from Gamesday 2006 or 7, it was a prototype on display as part of what was being worked on at the time. I was there.

So I was actually going to get a bunch more done over the xmas break but my airbrush finally packed it in while I was doing these guys. Will be back at work before the replacement turns up so this is all I got done on my newly started Death Guard force. Will be playing a bunch of ZM and then expending out too 2-3k points probably running sacrificial ROW for out flanking fun, will be running lots of Cortus dreads, Praevion with some robots, Leviathan and some other goodies if I can fit it all in.



How do you do the white on those guys?

Base coating with an airbrush, brown primary coat then a strong grey zenith highlight followed by a pure white zenith highlight. Then just drown it all in sepia wash to taste and a gentle drybrush of pallid wych flesh. Weathering is just a dabbing of rhinox hide with an old cut back tatty brush and then high lighting the bigger brown areas with silver to give the scratches effect. Will link a step by step with pics when my replacement airbrush arrives on my next batch of you want ?

That's be good, thanks.

just a quick check: did everyone who write a haiku want in on the typhon? the entries had varying levels of seriousness so before I figure out the winner (hint it might be random I'm not sure) I want to make sure who was actually interested

I wouldn't turn it down, but my haiku was mostly just me amusing myself.

I started painting an iron warrior after buying some of the Vallejo metal colour range, I’m reasonably pleased with it (considering I’ve barely touched a brush in 6 years).
Any suggestions on how to improve it would be greatly appreciated.

My Emperor's Children before getting some ink on them and poo poo. I think the pink highlights are a bit much, but I also like them and am conflicted.



They look good. If you're unsure finish one guy and see how it looks then. Never ever trust concerns about the main colour on its own (especially unfinished) when judging progress on a model. Secondary colours will alter the way your eyes perceive the dominant colour.
