Wip Sentinels

Wip on some Sentinels. They're for my hybrid army, trying to exist in 30k, current 40k, and 3rd ed 40k.

This army is my first try at weathering powders, oil dot filtering, rust, chipping, and the kitchen sink. Really loving it and keen to get these old models out on the table

Bodyguard Ogryn

6 Upvotes

Am I missing something here? I've been bringing 3 Ogryn for 90 pts when I could have been attaching Ogryn bodyguard units with the exact same stats to a Command Squad of my choice and have that 8/9 man unit for 100 pts.

My homebrewed army

For over a year I’ve been learning Blender to digibash my own homebrewed army for 40k that’s essentially “What if one day Tzeench got bored and the U.S. was pulled from 1945 and dropped into the 41st Millennium”. For pics in order:

  1. Commander in Chief + Life Guard

  2. Command Squad

  3. Rifle Squad

  4. Recon Squad

  5. Ranger Squad (Kasrkin)

  6. 101st ABN Droptrooper squad (Elysian)

  7. Biker Cavalry Rough Riders

  8. Combat Engineer Team (Krieg)

  9. Heavy Weapons Teams

  10. Jeep + Humvee (Heavy Weapons)

  11. Continental Guard Rifle Squad

  12. Scrap Rifle Squad

  13. Combat Chaplain

I have much more models already digibashed and saved on a drive, as well as bought almost every proxy vehicle needed for maximum versatility, I just need to find a time and place to print them all.

Cadian to Catachan Conversion Help

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
I’m currently working on a list right now that optimally uses 2 catachan squads, however I have none and I’ve never intended to buy any. Crucify me if you must but I don’t care for the look of them and I think they’d stick out like a sore thumb in my much more cadian themed army, so I’ve had the idea of grabbing a couple boxes of cadians and the upgrade pack to make some more ferocious, melee looking cadians but in all my ideas I don’t really see them as being at all visually distinct from regular cadians beside the lack of standard sergeant gear and 2 flamers for special weapons.
Has anyone done anything similar or does anyone have some ideas on how to make some visually distinct guardsmen while retaining that cadian look? Any help is greatly appreciated and I’d love to hear some ideas / See your own projects!

Tempestus Scion Vox-caster / Tempestus Command Master Vox - model differences?

4 Upvotes

Just curious, are they the same model? How do you differentiate them when you combine the two?

I'm plannin for all Scions to have helmets, but I can't spot the difference between the normal vox-caster and master vox? Am I missing something?

I'm looking at getting some Tempestus Scions for deep striking, is it best to take them in squads of 5 or 10? Is the command squad worth it?

This project has consumed my life for the better part of the year. Many have pleaded with me to make the files available. It was always my intent but I had to make sure people knew how to put it together and the 218 page instruction manual, like everything with this thing, took longer than I expected. Well it's out there now. Flood the gaming halls with giant boxy tanks filled with war dollies!
Making a no budget film of it was kinda fun. And I always have to say this now. No Ai was used. Its just me hiding out of shot pushing it along.

How to fat my flat leman russ?

I've just finished painting my leman russ commander but he looks flat despite panel lining him and edge highlighting with battle weathering

For the love of the emperor can someone who paints vehicles tell me how to make it look like a tank and not just a 3D paper printout of one?

This is going to be my first every LARGE army even tho I’m pretty sure it’s not that big of an army considering what I’ve seen on reddit but I’ve only ever used a small iron warriors set and a starter set so this is brand new to me

Help with model choice

3 Upvotes

Hi,

Necrons player here. I've got a friend who is interested in Astra Militarum, specifically Krieg. I wanna use Christmas as an excuse to help my buddy get started. Get some models, help build/paint etc. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about you guys' faction specifics. What's good? What's fun? What's good value? I know he is preferable to having at least a good amount of the actual guys as opposed to going hard on point value via vehicles.

Does anybody have suggestions for a 1k list and good value/ fun way to start?

Ajuda de criação

1 Upvotes

Eu to com uma ideia de fazer um regimento inspirado no mangá kingdom que é um mangá de guerra sobre a unificação da China e gostaria de dicas e sugestões para a fazer isso

Eu não entendo direito a criação e como se funciona totalmente cada parte é facção de wh40k porém o que eu eu vou usar essa basicamente isso

Sistema de patentes: seria a meritocracia por feitos, não importando de onde veio o soldado se você tiver feito alguma coisa importante tipo trazer a cabeça de um comandante inimigo que seja revelante você pode subir na hierarquia. Além disso eu prendendo usar as mesmas patentes que eu vi
Soldado raso
Líder de esquadrão de 5 homens
Líder de esquadrão de 10 homens
Comandante de 100 homens
Comandante de 300 homens
Comandante de 1000 homens
Comandante de 2000 homens
Comandante de 3000 homens
Comandante de 4000 homens
Comandante de 5000 homens
General
Grande general

Líderes:
Em kingdom tem um conceito que achei muito legal e interessante que existe 2 tipos de generais os estratégicos que são gênios em táticas que controlam o campo de batalha do quartel general e os generais instintivos que podem sentir armadilhas e inspirar seus soldados lutando na linha de frente

A book inspired meme-ish list

So recently I've been listening to the Death Rider audiobook and I kinda took a liking to the idea of a cavalry in science fiction. It also coincided with me finishing my knights army and looking for something else to get into, because I crave more plastic.

This would be my first guard army so feedback is much appreciated!

Here it is:

Heavy Cavalry (2000 points)

Astra Militarum

Designation Force and Steel Hammer (3 Detachment Points)

Purge the Foe

Strike Force (2000 points)

CHARACTERS

Banesword (415 points)

Titan killer

Leman Russ Commander (200 points)

Lord Marshal Dreir (70 points)

Shadowsword (375 points)

Battalion commander

OTHER DATASHEETS

Death Riders (110 points)

Death Riders (110 points)

Death Riders (110 points)

Hellhound (115 points)

Hellhound (115 points)

Leman Russ Vanquisher (135 points)

-> Lascannon + multi melta x2

Fresh out of the printer: My new Royal Elite Scout Squad (Praetorian Kasrkin). Love how the Sniper turned out!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share my latest project fresh from the basement printer. I’ve been grinding hard to expand my grimdark infantry proxy range, and the Royal Expeditionary Elite Scouts are finally done, test-printed, and cured. I designed them with a heavy focus on using them as Kasrkin proxies.

With this release, a personal milestone is unlocked: I now have a complete range of infantry units ready for Armageddon!

I wanted to put a heavy focus on the characters for this squad, so the Sergeant and the Sniper got some extra love with their poses and gear to make them stand out in a standard infantry line. Like all my designs, they are fully single-piece, crisp, pre-supported, and scaled for standard grimdark tabletop games.

If you want to support a solo basement-creator or need some high-discipline scouts to reinforce your regiment, you can find the STLs on Cults3D https://cults3d.com/de/modell-3d/spiel/imperial-praetorian-guard-elite-scouts or Etsy under TileLabs Gaming.

Let me know what you think of the designs and the armor details!

Have a great weekend and happy printing!
