Ahh sorry.. Yes I think it was Albertorius twice! Comes from trying to view this forum on a phone, will do for your eyes more than trying to paint some Epic minis!

Ah no bother at all! I just didn't want to be stealing credit where its not due! I guess I owe you getting one more of my backlog painted now for the advance compliment given!

Test printing some Solar Auxilia and well... the detail is kind of insane:



I like more these proportions, a bit exxagerated. Makes painting them easier:






They're tiny xDDD. Here you can see how much with the help of Sergeant Scaleman:



Also test painted a classic ork Battlewagon:

That Battlewagon is mindblowingly awesome!

Thanks! It's a sculpt from Red Nebular, which makes really lovely RT/2nd edition style ork stuff

Starting a Kult!

Wow! Love the miniatures and the paint jobs!

Some of the best Kult miniatures I have seen in fact.

Thank you! The minis are a joy to paint, and really characterful.

Also, I finished another set of five:





Starting to look like something now...

Gotta go fast! A good looking bunch, they are.

Thank you . In Epic 40k buggies are mostly worse, slightly cheaper bikeboys/wartrakks (same stats but shorter range, 13 points instead of 15)... but they simply look really cool ^^

If someone made some Ork buggies / trakks that are open topped I'd be all over them. It feels like it's missing something without the exposed Ork driver and gunner hanging on for dear life

You mean like these, or these ones, or more Dredd like?

I was more thinking STLs because I like to play with the scale of them to match everything else I have. Last time I bought stuff from Vanguard, they were very nice, but were out of scale with the rest of my stuff.

The Raiders of Cendre models are really nice but I think I'd have to convert them all to be open topped

Check these put for trakks:

They look cool! Surprised I haven't seen them before.

I was very tempted to buy the Raiders of Cendre models and edit them myself to be open topped with gunners and drivers

Jaycee has a lot of cool stuff, both free and on her Patreon (which is insane value, as if you sub a single month you get access to the drive with everything she's released to this date).

Well it isn't exactly 30 or 40K but it is my new project...WHFB in 10mm warmaster scale-
2,500 point 6th edition beastmen army-chaos undivided minotaur army

First test model, Sons of Horus traitor color scheme. This is Terradon Tuquoise Contrast over zenithal.

the color is off. Any suggestions? A friend thought perhaps a spray of gloss, followed by dilluted Nuln Oil or Black ink to dark and seep in recesses may be good idea. You?

Army Painter Warpaints Air Majestic Fortress, Elemental Bolt, Psychic shock zenithal (although on the vehicles, not... particularly visible it seems), followed by fairly harsh Citadel Nurgling Green (dry) drybrush, wash with warpaints green tone (though Citadel Coelia greenshade is very close, either works fine!). Photo doesn't quite look as 'canonically SoH'-green as it does IRL but gives an idea.

Yeah it's a completely different set of paints, but since you're already applying zenithal highlights I'm guessing you're set up for this approach.

(I've also done some infantry with AK interactive Emerald green followed with Mint green, if you prefer hairs on your brushes after all. is a little more green, little darker than this vehicle although a more enthousiastic drybrush likely fixes that on the next batch of infantry.)

Hope some of it helps.

My speed-painting-6mm-scale-Sons-of-Horus technique is to prime white (could be zenithal white over black instead), hit it with a Kroxigor Scales, then drybrush it Emerald from Vallejo Model Colour. Could probably also do a slightly lighter drybrush using a pastel emerald.

Don't have any pics of the results, but it gives me a result I'm happy with. It might be slightly more pale than GW's studio paint job, but at 6mm scale I like a bit of extra contrast and punchiness.

Try using a bright silver basecoat and then that contrast. I think that might help produce a more forge worldy scheme

Finally painted a couple guys! God I hate gold trim xDDD

These are the ones I assembled trying a running pose:

A Reaver:





...and after weathering:



And a Lancer (there's other one on the way, with a similar running/falling pose)

Looking good there, weathering is always the best phase with titans

That's beautiful work Albertorius, very nice colour combination and I like the dynamic posing with them.

Good work on those titans! I painted some flesh tearers Land raiders just now.

Edit: the picture was gak so replaced it, rhinos for scale

oooooh, nice tanks

Those are some mighty fine tanks, Novan elites? Love the look.

I finished the second Lancer, this time with a more battered look:




And painted this trio of Arquitor bombard lookalikes. Very basic slap job to have them painted and useable, but the prints themselves were not very good.

Still, for a 30m job, I'm happy enough.

Looks great! Oh and yes, my tanks are from the vanguard novan elites range

Good work, Albertorius. Nothing quite like a Lancer charging in battle.

Also finished some baneblades and a shadow sword (vanguard pattern) yesterday.

Oh, hey, I have a couple of those

That's a very nice scheme, kudos!
