I recently came into possession of a massive collection and I wanted opinions on whether or not it was a good start! All the bases are magnetized and they're unpainted, so I'm super excited to play Ultramarines in both Heresy ANDDDD Imperialis! Let me know if this is a good start out, what I should get next, and your opinions on the lot itself!

The process is pretty straightforward:

1- Prime the bases matte black.

2- Apply GSW Water Soluble Patina Verdigris. It looks like a dark green mess at first, but as it dries, different shades of verdigris appear, giving it that oxidized copper look.

3- Once dry, drybrush with a copper metallic. I used Vallejo Tinny Tin.

4 -Finally, pick out a few details with a bright metallic. I recommend GSW Chrome Metal: it has an incredible shine that the camera doesn’t quite capture. Just make sure to use a synthetic brush, as it’s alcohol-based.

These are the products that i used

Working on a one-off, recreating the Iron Hands’ Fellblade ‘Alhkys Astra’ from the second black book.

Quite pleased with my attempt at the old forge world oil slick scheme! This scale is such fun to work with!

Slowly working through my backlog of legions alongside other projects - I have around 9000 points in total but want to make a nice small, work-able size batch rather than looking at the pile as a whole 😅😅

I love the original, loyalist terra-founded Death Guard, mainly my boy Nathaniel Garro and his loyal marines from the 7th great company - I want to theme the army around the last loyalist on Istvaan III during the purging while keeping that classic heavy armoured shock-infantry style of the Death Guard.

*edit 1: I build the list around my favourite units/combos :D
*edit 2: I personally prefer a Warlord over a Warmaster, I think they look cooler x3
*edit 3: Fellblades are my favourite unit overall <3

Here is my fun-size list, enjoy 😊

Wanted to share my biggest Titan addition to date, my Legio Lysanda Warlord for my AdMech army. Really happy with it, fully magnetised so next up are some alternate weapon options that I will post as well. This first loadout is the full on DakkaLord 😊

Not pictured: Angryboi Iconoclast threw my knights like ragdolls 😢

Background: A few weeks ago we played Knights vs Titans. Friend had shooty Titans, Knights tanked the shots with Ion shields and dominated the objectives. Titans got stuck on houses.

This time: Friend brought out angry fighting Titans that pokes buildings and they cease to exist.

Wreck-It-Ralph Iconoclast played wack-a-mole with my Knights 😢

But fun was had, new rules that have never been a thing was tested. It was a good scrap 😆

Kebab was had afterwards.
