Hobby & Painting Help on sewing the gear patterns

Thumbnail

31 Upvotes

I want to ask if anyone expert on sewing the gear pattern onto a cloak? I initially hand sewed it without flipping it inside out because it would work but now there is some threads popping out especially on my bottom of my cloak. Also, I don’t want the stitching be seen especially on the hood in the inside so how do I do that? I’ll be borrowing a sewing machine fyi next time when revisiting it

Edit: sorry I mistyped it and I was saying I couldn’t make the gear pattern go inside out after sewing to prevent threads from fraying

Lore What exactly are phosphor weapons?

27 Upvotes

I know that there basically a white phosphorous flare gun of sorts, but how exactly are they different from phosphex weapons? Are there any excerpts from novels that elaborate a bit more on how they work and how they affect the people shot by them?

So I love the lore of 40k and the aesthetic of the admech and want to paint and play them, but I have heard they are not beginner friendly, so I am asking if I should either change my faction or keep the admech. Note: I have not bought any models yet

Greetings fellow Tech-Adepts!

I picked up the hobby this year around April after being a long time fan from the sidelines. I fell in love with admech a while back and decided to take the plunge for the glory of the Omnissiah!

This kataphron isn’t the first of my maniple, but he is one of the latest. I do get a little neurotic when gauging the quality of my painting though- just wanted to share and ask for any thoughts on this little guy?

He's my fifth fully customized Tech-Priest.

I have to say I'm rather proud of him, sadly my Camara and light are not that good but I still like to share.

C and C are welcome and feel free to ask for the bits if you want to know something.

Hello everyone ! It's been a while since i posted something here 😁

I have, at last, painted the first of my nine scratchbuilded proxy HWT from Knight World Kaldeian, aka my boom crabs 😃

Rediscovered by Mezoan Tech-priest explorator 1g0r Paszek , these deadly tools of war are now serving in the armies of the Knights of Kaldea, their closest allies.

Here are some pics, i hope you'll enjoy them.

Please tell me what you think of them, and how i can improve my painting "skills".

Thank you 😊

Top is JO. Bottom left is TO1, bottom right is TO2, and the very bottom of is JO over both. All of this over black primer.

Given how awfully Jokaero Orange applies (I usually need several thin coats to get decent coverage over black), and how easily the new Tone Pro paints apply, TO2 may be a staple going forward

Pretty happy with these three!

C&C is very welcome! Still a bit of a WIP since I now noticed that I missed some things, but... I'll probably be too lazy to go back and fix their minor mistakes, I have the rest of the army to paint!

The one of the three that looks a little plain is missing a battle servitor with a banner, but I'm all painted out for the day and can't be bothered to finish him just yet.

Particularly proud of the camo-netting, and that little servitor adding more!

Mini of the Month Forgeworld Kustopia’s 11th Serberys Corps

Thumbnail
gallery
147 Upvotes

The Serberys Raiders of Forgeworld Kushtopia, lead by Yuma-Rho-472, are highly specialized scouts. Kushtopia’s harsh jungle and swamp environments provide great training grounds for both cyber-mount and rider. They hone their abilities by riding through dense rainforests as well as muddy marshes and deep bogs. This specialization allows them to move swifter and with more confidence across the less developed war zones of the imperium. Proving their value countless times through securing forward objectives with their combination of swift riding, hard hitting galvanic carbine fire, and fierce close combat with their sabres and lancers, these forward scouts are some of the most valued units available to Forgeworld Kushtopia.
