For what it's worth I'm a fan of contrast to make different elements stand out. The blackness of the raven with echoes of blue ice would be stunning.

10.02.2026 06:07 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Good idea, I was initially going for a Martian look but I think I went too beige so actually a bit of dead veg might work. Maybe growing out of a skullโฆ
09.02.2026 22:15 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thanks, I added a tiny bit just to add a little depth but I donโt think I lost the crackle, what do you reckon? bsky.app/profile/idle...
09.02.2026 22:13 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I added a bit of dust just to darken some of the crevices and so I could add a little to his boots. Whilst I was playing I thought Iโd get the base colours down on a dreadnought I just built. The dread needs to be a quick job as I want to use him in a game next week. #warhammer #paintingwarhammer

Oh, you need to read the first 5 at least - this is the best guide I've seen to reading order (www.heresyomnibus.com) but up to Flight of the Eisenstein is a must for the rest to make sense. After that pick a legion and read their stuff.
09.02.2026 15:02 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Lovely work! I've just read the First Heretic, almost felt sorry for Tal by the end.
09.02.2026 14:28 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thanks, I'll take a look. I think it was pretty clear that Musk had no idea how hard any of this would be from the start but it will be nice to have some specifics.

Thatโs lovely! I didnโt realise there was an Eleanor (my daughterโs name), I might have to build one..,
06.02.2026 07:04 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Cheers, I really enjoyed it. Itโs a little fiddly but maybe building Bronco tanks has made anything else seem easy. Iโve got a couple more lined up when I finish my wolves.
05.02.2026 09:05 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Saturnine now with head! Iโve just realised the pauldrons arenโt quite straight but that should be a quick fix. Next some highlights on the metal, maybe a couple more markings (Iโm thinking a wolfโs head and a VI somewhere) and then some battle damage. #warhammer
