Finally have my bigmars. These monopose kits are great quality, I'm really hyped for the multipart ones now. The classic marines look really lame next to the bigmars though.

I'm almost done with a Raven Guard bigmar:


All that's left is clean up my sloppy highlights.

I find myself paralysed by choice once again. There's so many interesting ways I could paint these dudes. I was going for Raven Guard at first but I also kind of like the notion of a traditionalist space wolves successor that still wears 30k colors and look down on the modern SWs and their wolf mounts.
But bigmars would also look nice in Blood Angels colors, and I like the Salamanders, and the FULMINATORS ultramarines crack me up
What do

SRM what's your recipe for realistic black skin? I want to include some black marines in my bigly army

Thanks for the skin painting advice guys both recipes look cool. I'll try and report back

Now that I have built all my Dark Imperium biglys and painted a few:
- These are great models and I love them
- They are easy and fun to paint
- They are a dick move from GW towards marine players with normie marine armies. Biglys just make squat marines look like complete poo poo.

I already own 120 biglys... they just look so loving amazing.

I'll probably end up with that many over time when the multipart kits are out, but I'm not sure my sperg tendencies could tolerate so many repeat models :v

Reavers are adorably edgy, Primaris Characters look neat, new Plague Marine and Poxwalker sculpts look cool. Like that they're continuing the the trend AoS started with it's different sized starters, makes starting out fresh way less intimidating.

Pretty smart. Makes it easy to have a good number of biglys for cheap if you want a lot of infantry too

Hm yeah gently caress that, if I do Salamander biglys I'm painting them as actual black soldiers not this mutated black skin and red eyes bull

Edited my post since I only own biglys, if that makes a difference (I guess it doesn't unless you're a sperg about whether or not your gravis dudes are Deathwing?)

Ignore the dirty cheap plastic outdoor table, there was blinding sun (any sun) in Seattle yesterday and I braved the heat for a minute to take a nice natural light photo.

This is great work, I really like it

Because Lias Issodon is rad. I will probably just end up doing one scheme and running one character at any given time - The chances of me playing a big enough game to run all three at once with their attendant squads is probably low.

Raptors are the reasonable marines that change how their armors are painted depending on where they are fighting, so you can paint them in urban camo or whatever if you don't like the olive color scheme!

Couldn't agree more. I really can't imagine squatmarines being played that much when the bigly range has been expanded...

Look for Biostrip 20 on Amazon. Tterrible recommend this earlier and it's magical poo poo. Strips miniatures easily, do risk for the plastic and it's not toxic so you can use it inside.

And a Deathwatch Primaris Captain. Was hoping to have more done in time for a game tomorrow, but I just can't sum up the energy today it seems.
