That yellow trim was an absolute bitch to paint with '90s citadel acrylics no wonder they switched to make them a metallic (even though it looked way worse) later on edition.Previous Thread:>>97943157Check out here for useful links and a catalogue of relevant miniatures retailers:https://pastebin.com/nnNqqFLnThe Rogue Trader magazine article compilation:https://mega.nz/file/C4oSnArA#sA2O_7V6OnhZCOLCf0Sba1KW_wao3pZvc6IUmlHvpsk
help the beakie stopped power squatting and stood up and I don't like it

it's looking at me
>>98043527That from the freshly nuked scrungle-whatever stuff?
>>98042054>I would also appreciate any kind anon uploading the stuff somewhereI'm sure Russ Nicholson's Johnny drawing is in here somewhere, but he's not the only one - not even the only official GW artist - who has taken a stab at portraying him.https://mega.nz/folder/PRwF2B6L#ccp7RxouUJ8I-c4zMpQPzg
>>98043590Yeah, one of the Scrungaloid sculpts.Since we're posting pics, here's the Dark Eldar Archon I've been working on lately, he's almost finished, just some clean up here and there and the basing to do.

Are 4/5th edition wardancers treated as individual models despite not being skirmishers?
>>98044597Might be in an FAQ from one of these old WDs. Its been way too long for me to remember directly sorry.
Stripped my 4th edition army and corrected some of my questionable modelling decisions from back then.Finally painted a squad and captain (and a used emperor's champion just because I love the model)> (even though it looked way worse) Gold trim was a massive improvement.Frankly, company colours were a mistake and are 90% of the reason these guys aren't storm lords.
>>98044968Before and after of the captain, with a combat shield made of card and a melta bomb glued to the front.
>>98044968>>98044975Quartered livery is pretty sick, nice clean job. My progress for the day. Sculpting tubes is killing my wrist.
>>98044968Looks great.
>>98044968Kino. That's a clean paint job. Is the EC metal or finecast? If he's finecast that's a hell of a clean up job.>Frankly, company colours were a mistake and are 90% of the reason these guys aren't storm lords.Agreed. The design of MkVIII Jes Goodwin marine is perfect except for the adoption of the shoulder trims IMO. Beakie-style clean pad + studded pad looks way better and makes sense to compress iconography to one shoulder.
>>98045392Thanks. It's metal, I haven't yet experienced working with finecast and I'm in no hurry to try.
>>98044975>captain had meltabomb strapped to the outside of stormshield >questionable modelling choices 4th edition you was based.
>>98044975>melta bomb glued to the frontWas he fucking invincible?

Another shout out to >>98042722 from last thread for the RT scans. It's always pleasant when a part of your life that you've written off for decades makes its way back to you.
>>98038723>2000AD guys seemed to have no hard feelings despite probably being the ones that 40k ripped off the mostThings were easier back then, it seems.Though, of course, not without a fact that 2000 AD guys seemed to be pretty laid back. Pat Mills later even created Redeemer for WH40K, which can be called straight away collab between 2000 AD and 40K.
>>98047024neat, I need to get a resin printer or someone with it at some point
>>98047062Nemesis the Warlock also made me realize that people were right that 40k is just how British people view Catholicism, because Torquemada in Nemesis is literally just that
>>98043724ayyy... my johnny is there!
>>98045047Sculpting spikes on metal panties.
>>98049502Great work on the cleanup, it's fascinating to watch the progress.I really love the look of the Mk V, I wish there was a good modular set for it I could use with my classic RTB-01s and 2nd edition stuff. It just exemplifies that barely holding together look of some of the early 40k power armour art. For me in particular it'd be great as "my dudes" space marines are specifically a bunch of stuck in the middle of bumfuck no-where sector, isolated from much of the Imperium (so I can just easily ignore the main "plot" and what anyone feels like they have to try and inflict on me about it), having to rely on their local forgeworld production a ton rather than getting nice standardised, all the best materials, "modern" suits shipped to them from like Mars or whatever. So really inconsistent armours (and the RT beakies are already pretty varied) with tons of improvised looking adaptations to keep them functioning would play right into that vibe.
>>98043506>>98043512I need to make some houses like that. They look great.
