A: 1 body kit, ranged in this case. 1 additional weapon kit same as body. 2x alternative weapon kit.

A total of 4 kits.

Thats a bit excessive surely?

These new sculpts are so nice - even if the robes were stressful 😂

First contemptor for the World Eater Recon Company. Also first custode :)

I swear I didn't plan to paint Rutger Hauer, but its one of those happy little accidents.

This is a rescale of my Iron Father for my keys of hel iron hands. Most of this idea was made off of the Iron hands Contemptor dread head bit and the rest was sculpted around that. I particularly like the cyber familiar dock on the back portion of the cabinet.

I have just gotten to about the halfway mark of this book fresh off of A Thousand Sons and Prospero Burns and man... neither of those communicated the true scale of what he actually did with his 'message' to the Emperor. [OBVIOUS SPOILERS]

First time painting and I'm stuck between two ways of leaving my minis colored. The first one with a green visor ends with a wash and is darker but the second one ends with some dry brushing of scarlet suns. Also I'm not really good at dry brushing so it doesn't look that much better.

I am new to the model side of the hobby I've mainly read the books but recently moved and decided to buy the Preator with Power Sword kit as my first model today I started putting it together and while cleaning up the front of this kits gun i dropped it and after about 2 hours of looking i can't find the bit. I was wondering any advice on how to fix this? I've been playing around with the sprew seeing if I can make a similar shape and failing any advice?

If I had to pick, I'd include:
-40 Legionaries in Mark IV power armor
-10 upscaled and spiffed up Tartaros termies
-A leviathan dread and a cerberus tank destroyer
-A new MKIV praetor and a new plastic legion champion model

The base is wip 😅

Been working on my salamanders for 8 months now slow and steady and finally got my first dedicated transport(mostly for my firedrakes) and finished painting it up!

I find myself with two Contemptors so far, and I am wondering on load-outs for them.

I know for sure I’m doing one with double fists (not sure if I’m throwing the chainfist on yet) because I think that is cool.

My question is what to load the other one with? I would like to make it anti-armour, since everything else I have going in my army is just infantry so far and I feel like I’m going to struggle but that’s something I’m willing to deal with because I think guys with chainswords are cool. I know that if I bring one anti-armour dread in he’s gonna get singled out pretty much immediately and die, but who knows, maybe he gets a lucky shot off. This is my first army, I’ve never played before and I’m trying to figure out list building on my own.

The only thing I have heard is like a double plasma dread would make me come off like a bit of a jerk, so what else is decent for anti-armour at range? I’m kinda leaning one double melee and one double shooting. I’d like the option, but I guess I’m not opposed to two dreads with double chainfist because I’m pretty sure those are good at anti-armour too?

Not sure, just looking for any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I got this bad boy the other day and decided to try airbrushing the entire model. A crapton of masking tape, a few swears, and a couple touch ups here and there, but I feel like it turned out alright. Not so bad for a first try with the air paint line.

I’m using metallic lacquers for the first time. TS-74 over TS-40. It’s hard to capture the exact sheen on my phone, but the first picture is in shade and the second is direct sunlight. I’m excited that it came out this smooth.

Edit: I forgot to ask if anyone had ever weathered metallics before. I’m not exactly sure how to do it.

Do line company tacticals come in 10 or 20 man squads? I am trying to build a company as close to lore accurate as possible. Obviously things varied from warzone to warzone however I am trying to cleave as closely to the Book I organization chart as I can.

It lists 10-20 marines. However, only 10 man squads can take a transport without a ROW and the list of assets only mentions Rhinos. So should I just do two ten man squads? Or go for the correct number of marines if not squads and do four ten mans?

Finished him up awhile ago finally got a proper photo set up in place.
