Wings look like an easy enough fix though, even if sculpting feathers is a pain in the arse.
Could allways sculpt robes over the joins though to make it easier i spose.

Trueeee, one of my friend's said much the same as you so I reckon I'll have a go at changing them xxx

23 euro's aint that bad so ordered 2 for now, just incase i ruin the first one lol.
Ill let you know how easy they are to change

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

HOOORAYYY I'm so glad you're still following me Can't wait to share something with you guys! I just found this actually... I really like it, thinking it might be worth buying?

My friend has that model and uses it as a "count's as" for Mephiston or really just any of the HQ choices. It looks really nice on the board. So I was skimming through your post and obviously took note to the fact you like BA, do you actually play or just paint?

I forgot to mention...

I need to find a good pair of wings.. something like that for my Furioso Dreadnought... Does anyone know where to grab a pair? everything I have found are either to bat like or attached to another model.

I haven't started playing yet, still new to this so I only have about 3 models haha.

I was looking around on ebay for wings the other day, I did actually find a really nice pair, I'll try to find them tomorrow xxx

£4.10 straight from GW
Should be a decent size too.

aye...these be the pegasus wings from GW... sold sepeartly nowadays...

@jackel you're picture didn't work!

@bubble when you start playing BA remember the trick to them is get up and personal and assualt as soon as possible. in 6th edition it's going to be different but who knows about that and besides that's a whole another thread all in itself. try thewarstore dot com for good prices. it's like 20% off on the models. If the BA's (like the assault or tactical marines) come out too orange-ish try adding a little brown (just a little) to the final highlight color. I'm not a art student, but the GW and VGC paints have too much orange tint in them for my liking.

why thank you xxx

First post here, I think, Power weapons are your friend. Relic blades nicer.

Yep I'm gonna try and paint some power weapons soon xxx

Bubble, you change your profile picture more times than I change my boxers!

Are you going to to an army of Blood Angels at some point or are you happy to do the painting side? I find that there is a great divide between painting and gaming. Having said that, the first time I played with my Dwarfs (and the first game of WFB in 8 years) I got absolutely minced but it didn't put me off. I entered my opponents name in my personal book of grudges and swore to give him a kicking..

Ah hobbies, they bring out the best in us.

I like the paint jobs Bubble.

What do you want your power weapons to look like? There are so many methods out there. I still want to try power weapons using my airbrush, I just haven't gotten around to trying it out. Then again, I like sculpting better than painting.

Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more!

haha this is true! I get bored so easily haha I'm not sure yet! I'm happy painting at the moment but I'm sure I'll play a game when I'm a bit more prepared xxx

Thank yooou! um I'm not sure, maybe like how J-paint did his... I think one of his kroot has a sword that looks epic- I'll have to find it and link it! Tbh I think however I do it my first couple of power weapons are gonna look terrible haha xxx

someone recently mentioned he did a quite good power weapon effect by just washing the sowrd with white... i tried that and it looked crappy as hell...i am too searching for new means to get this done too!

^Using washes over white then highlighting for a good effect.




^The old style way of doing it, simply by blending the blade then painting in lightning effects.



^Wet blending, to a bloody good standard




Theres a few different styles anyway
Can allways mix and match though for differing results.

í think i need to try the first methode soon... seems i could handle that ...hopefully...thanks jackal for the small tut so to say^^

Thanks for all the tips Jackal I'll get round to trying some at some point... lol

And Vik I'll be interested to see how it goes for you! xxx

lol, its quick and easy to do
And your lucky, being a daemons player, 99% of the weapons have to glow or have some such effect, or maybe thats just me going OTT lol.

i will show this of course! again jackal thanks a heap!
