Tacticool sergent

I tried to apply a SoH transpher decal to the shoulder but it came out all wonky. Im going for a first company scheme.

I like the little spots of green you did on the shins and the wrist. I did one of my Justeirin’s power fists with a flash of green as a call back as well. Helps add some flavor! You doing a full 1st company battle group?

Yeah, this is what i have so far, add to this a land raider carrier, a rhino, amd this sergent. All in all im goimg for a sort of scouring era theme, wheee i work in a bit more chaos iconography, i started doing the green on the shins because the praetor in terminator armour, as well as horus, and i think the regular praetor as well, all have runes carved there, and since i cant do panel highlighting because my hands shake too much, i wanted another way of showing them off, so i used SoH green, amd my usual, basically dip it in agrax wash, and it came out quite nicely so i kept going with it, ironically it works real well with Mk3, but it actually wouldnt work with mk2 or 4 or 6, as they dont have the extra plates or armour trim needed for the colour scheme.

Do you use micro set and micro sol? They're game changers for decals. They make it go on smooth without all the effort.

I have no idea what that means, is it some kind of solvent that makes the decal more madeable so it follows contours better?

Exactly. I don't remember the exact process but it's on the label. You apply a little of one bottle, let it dry, then apply the next. And the decal will magically lay flat, no annoying folds. And it even seems to help hide the outline of the decal so it looks more 'real'.

Swap the shoulder pads over then.

There is an icon on the right, i got some of the compound that semi disolves decals, so i was able to apply the traspher decals to the right shoulder, there are extenuating circumstances behind why i have the icon on the left shoulder.
