Great work dude! You're absolutely right about the Enginseer. Really nice model you've done it great justice too!

Oh, how did you get the really nice brass-looking colour on your Ruststalker's limbs?

Thank you, it was fun, and good practice for when I get one of my own

It's leadbelcher heavily washed with Agrax Earthshade, and lightly drybrushed with Stormhost Silver. Agrax Earthshade - the miracle chemical.

Yeah, that stuff is LEGIT! It's like pure bottled painting talent.

Your latest models look awesome! The enginseer turned out great, and you really did a good job on the Primaris marines. Though personally I think marines look better in dark green...

I'm curious, how does Agrax Earthshade compare to Reikland Fleshade? Is it pretty much the same stuff but lighter?

Reikland, from what I can tell, is a lot redder and lighter.

Huh curious. I bought it specifically because I thought it was darker!

Shall have to pick up some Earthshade

What's this? Verviedi doing something for his own army, for once?

Wait. You're making a unit for your own army for once V? What sort of foul heresy is this?

"Excuse me, Tech Priest! One of my Paint-Servitors is displaying signs of free will again. Do you recommend a mind-wipe or outright replacement?"

Ah, crap, they're onto me. I prefer the term "Semi-sapient painting automata"

In other news, I found a way to make the Kastellans look decent. This beautiful head.

Now, the future Kastellan Initiative can actually begin, as my primary gripe has been fixed. I just need to strip off some armor plates, make them more Heretek-y, give them better shoulders, and fix the ugly phosphor arms.

Now, to write some fluff that explains why I have tech-heresy next to Martian Standard Pattern materiel in my army...

I quite like the regular Kastellan heads, but those look pretty awesome too; would love to see you paint some

For enhanced data tethers - flag > phone. Abnett Skitarii > GW Skitarii.

Cool banner guy, Verv! Where'd you get the cog banner topper?

That is the cut-off end of the Fulgurite Electro-Priest staff. Sadly, I'm out of cog haloes, so I need to make another bitz run.

Current project. Yet another techpriest, this one with a greataxe.

Semi-sapient!? Purge the Abominable Intelligence! Rid the universe of the soul-less machine! *rattles pitchfork menacingly

Love the Kastellan heads. Massive improvement to my mind

Gotta love robots with big axes.

...Abominable Intelligence... that inspires me. I should make one of those, someday...

Here's my PRISMA attempt. Took a picture of my 30k magos and spiffed it up a little. Would you like to know more?

Very nice PRISMA attempt V, nicely done.

And more propaganda from your friends at the Ordo Allegorica. Xenos heresy must be destroyed!

Hell yeah Prisma's great and so are propaganda posters great work.

Might be personal taste, but I tend to like it when the filter/editing/whatever spiffy stuff Prisma does is toned down to, say, around 50% or so. Yeah probably personal taste, but I find it helps keep a bit of clarity of the dude you're looking at compared to the background.

What's the font you've used though? It's absolutely perfect

Propaganda Sight.

It can be toned down? Let's see, here...

Such lovely propaganda you have here V.

Good propaganda posters for the Skitarii and Mechanicus

Thank you! More to come, later (because painting is slow)

The idea behind these posters is that the Ordo Allegorica (Mechanicus Social Engineering/Memetics Department) is deploying these posters to the citizens of Cyraxus, to motivate them in their fight against the Tau. Some will be "darker" than others, but when they're done, the goal is to present a coherent narrative of the progress of the invasion.

Yeah love that idea

And yeah, you can drag across the screen to set the amount of filter applied as a %.

***What is your station?***
++Malagra Cult. Rank Executioner Dominus.++
***What is your name?***
++Malagra Maximine-01110001
***What is your vow?***
++The heretek Cawl will fall by my axe++

Aww hell yeah

If my dudes even knew who Cawl was in the far flung reaches of the Eastern Fringe they'd join your Crusade against the blasted Heretek

Back from vacation! Time for another project.




Also, I plan on making an AI model, just as a shelf piece. So I need YOUR creepy AI pictures and suggestions! Taking inspiration from GLaDOS, and that one Abominable Intelligence as an utterly inhuman floaty thing, and I need more.

Ooh AI model! Awesome

Took me ages to find again, but this is what I always picture when someone mentions 'Abominable Intelligence'. Read the fluff. It's absolutely perfect

Of course, that's the idea of a Heretek experimenting with creating AI. If you want to do something that's perhaps a holdover from the DAoT then something a little more GLaDOS-like would be really cool
