Hi all,
i have seen how to paint the armor of the exorcists chapter and have been trying desperately to paint their signature demon skull. I am at a loss, it takes 5-6 tries to get it right and i always feel like i did it badly. any tips or tricks on this????
please reply asap

oh, also my little brother spams beserkers (he is chaos) and i have not won a game since he realized this, any tricks my army is asssualt terminators, dreadnought a rhino a predator scouts with rifles and the other stuff from assult on black reach

Painting:
Can you paint regular skulls?

I learned by using the GW skull transfer. Study it. Keep one for reference, then apply one to amodel. Then paint over the top of it. Add some horns and youre done.

I went Scorched brown. Bone, white. Exorcists could stay at bone. Add scorched brown ribbing on the horns.
Here's my omega marine that I freehanded the skull onto,



Gaming:
Make sure you are both playing at equal points.

Berzerkers have the problem of not having a decent cheap transport to get into combat.

Sounds like you have 10 terminators, which are generally good, but fall quickly vs lots of normal attacks, which berzerkers put out.

Shoot the hell out of them as they move across the field. Save your terminators for countercharge.

I cant find any decals at the moment or my green stuff (i was thinking about sculpting it) can you explain or give me a link to painting skulls like yours?
we are playing at same points and he is putting his beserkers in rhinosbut otherwise i will follow all of your advice





One more thing, you overestimate my freehand skills, i will post a pic as soon as i can to show how bad my paintings are (imagine the skulls with horns that orks have all over their tanks)
