Very nice indeed I must pick up some more silvers. I've got plenty of bronzes and brasses and golds, but basically only Leadbelcher (unless I can find my old pot of Chainmail).

Again, really nice work

Thank you! And yes, you should. Stormhost Silver is INCREDIBLY useful. I never really use Ironbreaker, so I don't know about it.

Thanks, guys. I enjoy making nice, diverse armies, painting all white all the time is a little boring.

Following the paint guide, mostly. This book is astoundingly useful.

Thanks for the praise on Centos! Here's the latest project coming out of my plastic-smelters...



The Great Rebasing Initiative! Now that my force has been downsized (now down to a Dominus, two Dunecrawlers, 5 Ruststalkers, 20 Secutarii, and 20 Skitarii), I can finally get to work on making the force not look horribly outdated.

First three Skitarii and the Techpriest Dominus.



The kinda crap build quality of these Skitarii definitely detracts from the paintjob, but they are the first I built... and will not be participating in games, most likely.

The seams in the cloaks are killing me with mine.I didn't think they were too bad until I painted up the first set. It is fine for tabletop ready but it bugs me. I've started to try LGS on the 28 or so that are just primed to see if it will help. These seem to take longer to built compared to what I was used to years ago with other armies as well. I hope to pull some more useful tidbits from your blog.

I try to always fill my seams, but Liquid Green Stuff is utterly worthless as a gap filling compound. I'll gladly provids more tips for you. Good luck with your own Skitarii!

So what did you use on yours? I think the liquid GS will be good enough for now. I'm not going for a competition paint job, so they don't have to be perfect, outside the fact that it will bother me, along with messed up painting, even if it's not obvious from three feet away. My test run on primed models seemed to make it better. I'm not going to do anything to the ones that are currently painted. I'll wait until I won't be tempted to use them i.e. my others are all painted.

How are the other Ad Mech kits for this kind of thing? I found the electro priests to have worse seams than the Skitarii, so they got the LGS treatment as well.

I generally use putty Green Stuff during assembly, or multiple coats of Liquid Green Stuff. I hate using LGS , however. It's like filling gaps with thick paint.
Sicarian Princeps have a terrible gap in their robe, Electro-priests are pretty awful as well, Techpriest Domini are generally tolerable. Skitarii are really the worst of it.

And thank you, Aetare. It's my goal to have models my opponent is proud to slaughter callously

Thanks for the info. I have a box of Sicarians that I haven't opened yet. At least I have LGS to try to make it more tolerable when the time comes.

A WIP GK Paladin:


WIP Enginseer:


And a finished Ruststalker.



I also played my first game of 8th. Learning game, so I have yet to pass judgement. It was a 2v2, 1000 pts each, game on a 4x4 table. Ended in a draw, I think.

And the Enginseer is mostly done. This model is one of the only models where I think the GW plastic model is better than the FW equivalent (the ugly Macrotek Enginseer).



Also pictured - a sad and lonely Dunecrawler without legs. His painted brother is in the display case at GW, and other brother is still on sprue.
