Ah man, perhaps I’ll revisit again. Thanks for your input!

At one point I had it as a super fleshy pink thinking that might sell it better, but ended up reverting it. Thought keeping the colors close would help me more. Maybe after sculpting some broken armor around it I’ll give that another shot

Ah that makes so much sense, hopefully I can sculpt something convincing, prime it, and glue it on. Thank you!

Stoked for these changes. As much as I’m loving the game, it sucks to lose constantly in the high stakes runs due to pure rng of only being offered garbage.

Still keep firing up runs despite the rng cause it’s that fun, so yeah, stoked.

Huuuuge glowup from the current ones, stoked to get my hand-mitts on these

Thanks! And yes lesson learned real fast how much paint is used hitting these things. I’ve since switched from citadel primers to rustoleum and citadel technical to Vallejo. Now the link you provided will be the next step to glory

Primed black, two coats of white because I realized I’m a dummy, hexwraith green, two coats Tesseract glow, then a yellow dry brush

Sounds a like “I can’t breathe” during a certain period of time

People who don’t wear helmets are cowards. What are they so afraid of? Really gonna risk permanent brain damage on the off chance some other loser doesn’t think safety is fashionable?

I’ve beaten the game with 7 characters and I can’t wait to do it with 7 more

Ty, I kinda feel like they’re various shades of brown + occasional green, but of course I’m gonna be overly critical after staring at em for so long. Can’t wait for Skaven refresh to paint more

 

Guess which ones were the impulse buys

 

Got into 40K last month and jumped right into Horus Heresy series using that handy reading order chart, wanted to get to Thousand Sons as fast as possible so I could learn about my army and read about the nothing Magnus allegedly did wrong.

Loken’s books were all a solid good time. A bit rushed feeling, book 2 stood out as a drop in quality. Horus felt less like a centuries old wizened war god amongst men and more like big dingus to make the plot happen, as if it couldn’t happen with a character who uses his brain. Book 3 and Eisenstein came back to the fun time.

Thousand Sons though is painfully bad. I’ve powered 60% through, normally I put down a book at 25% if I’m not feeling it and I reeeeaaaally wasn’t feeling it. Have to get through it for the dudes though. I don’t know the nothing he did wrong yet, but I’ll say he and his sons are definitely guilty of being the dumbest and most annoying self proclaimed “geniuses” in the galaxy. Not expecting Hugo Award level quality from this series, but a little effort would be nice.

So the question: which series among the heresy are the best and which are to avoid? Should I bother continuing 1K sons in hopes it improves, or switch to some other dudes?

 

Just got into 40K last month, trying to get a Mutalith Vortex Beast. Was gonna get one after my current batch was built and painted (and it is!) but in that time 10th dropped and made MVB meta, so there they all went.

Should I hold out and hopefully there will be a resupply online soon? Or move on to something else? None of my local shops have em either.
