In which Lemmy stops formatting posts from Pixelfed in the same way that it always has before.
He's the classic metal version. I think I got him from eBay decades ago and only was ready to paint him up now that he's been pushed out.
I've also got a metal Corbulo that I think was from the same second hand lot. I'll probably get to him when the new Sanguinary Priest drops.
Edit: spelling
Lol, more that seeing the new guy reminded me thati had Chaplain-with-Ball-Gag at home. It's a timeless look, apparently!
A bit slapchop.
I primed it Army Painter black, grey and grey/blue dry brush to make the edges stand out, heavier dry brush plus white dry brush on places to be red or gold.
Reds: Flesh Tearer contrast then another dry brush of Evil Suns Scarlet
Gold: Garaghaks Sewer, Army Painter Greedy Gold
Bone: Reaper Ion Soot (grey), Sepia Wash
Rounded out with: Sir Coates Silver, Guilliman Flesh, Magos Purple, Prismatic Bolt Speed Paint, Army Painter Strong Tone
They were mainly a color test, but I'm pretty tickled with the results.
It's the Relic Envoy from GW's Cities of Sigmar, but where he is meant to be holding a sheathed sword I swapped in an AdMech rifle.
The setting is grimdark WWI with demons and plenty of crusades influence so adding guns and gas masks to AoS minis seems to work well.
If anything, the blindfold is just an aesthetic because I wasn't sure how to do empty eye sockets:
"These devotees of the Church blind themselves ritually as a devotion to God and use only their faith to strike the enemies of the Church. During the Siege of St. Lux stories were told of a sniper priest killing a target 3 miles away"
Not yet, but she's such a fun character that I jumped at the chance to paint her.
Every month the official Warhammer stores will have a different mini that you can get for free. It's not something to make an army out of, but it is a great low stakes chance to paint something different or do an interesting kitbash.
Yeah, the way they loom over even other marines is great. Hopefully they do more chapter specific variants as they others get their codexes.
There are a lot of PixelFed instances, this might get complicated.
I'd ask for https://miniature.photography but I'm one of only a dozen or so people who post there.
Little Rhino's Big Adventure
Someone asked about how the backdrop book looked with epic scale minis so I did a fun little photo shoot. I only have the one rhino at that scale and only the one bit of terrain to pose it on.
These books and some new ones are on Kickstarter for another day or so:

Aeldari Rangers
Testing out a new Lemmy client instead of cross-posting right from PixelFed.
One of my goals for this year is to finish more of the projects I left in various states previously. Since I am about to do some Aeldari Kill Teams I grabbed the Rangers off the shelf where they had been assembled, primed, and only got as far as the yellow earlier.
After these guys I started to do combo bone/black weapons because it seemed to dull this way. I might retouch the faces later, "rosy" ended up just "pinky".
Fun dynamic poses and it feels nice to finish them up after a long delay.

Photo upload test: First Battle
Testing uploading a photo instead of pointing to a pixelfed link.
The starting arc survivors who took on the crimson crocodile!
Combat Arena: Lair of the Beast Finally Available
For anyone in the US, at least, it finally showed as oh stock at Barnes and Noble. Lot of great sculpts in there.

I wasn't as sure about how "40k" these guys would look back when they were previewed but I think they ended up firing the aesthetic just right. Scrap tech, plenty of chaos, begging for some grim dark colorations.

The Next Big Project Arrived
I didn't receive a tracking number or anything so it was a wonderful surprise to see the new Kingdom Death: Monster expansion arrived today! This is a lot to unpack, time to get ready for some mental trauma.

Second Leviathan Tyranid Batch
Von Ryan's Leapers and Barbgaunts. I'm not as pleased with the yellow-on-purple guns this time as I was with that scheme on the Termagants. May need to revisit that later.
Also need to find a good neon tufts to help the bases give a better sense of space like @[email protected] suggested.
C&C welcome!

Combat Patrols in Progress
With the rules for the new Combat Patrols dropping today (https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/06/20/free-combat-patrol-rule-downloads-let-you-fight-fast-balanced-skirmishes-in-the-new40k/) I decided to check whether I ever finished a full patrol worth of a given faction.
Blood Angels is close so I primed their Impulsor to get that done.
Necrons only need the Doomstalker so that might not be too bad either.
