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.

It's a gorgeous kit, a proper bruiser of a mech and hopefully will earn it's place on the battlefield next week.

Ahh, but unfortunately that turns the Seven Hills Women's Institute into 'SHIWI' which is already taken and probably isn't appropriate for the group.

Good 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 skullโ€ฆ

Thanks, I added a tiny bit just to add a little depth but I donโ€™t think I lost the crackle, what do you reckon? bsky.app/profile/idle...

I 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 Iโ€™d 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

Iโ€™m bombarded with โ€˜claim compensation off the army if you used these ear plugsโ€™ adverts and every time Iโ€™m a bit gutted that I lost them within hours of being issued and filled my pockets with yellow squishies instead for the next 5years

Thoughts on the base; does it need more red? Maybe a skull? Some โ€˜dustโ€™?

Horus Heresy Omnibus Project - Home A Fan-Created Guide for Navigating the Epic Series

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.

Lovely work! I've just read the First Heretic, almost felt sorry for Tal by the end.

Thanks, 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.

The hubris of this guy - you could โ€˜secure civilisationโ€™ by using your vast wealth to solve climate change, feed the hungry, provide education and healthcare for millions but no, the key apparently is to build a moon base ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

By strange coincidence I think that may well be happening.

Similar story in guiding too.

My wife is a member and the whole thing is heartbreaking. Small minded bigots smashing beautiful things so they can make life worse for trans folk, itโ€™s hateful.

Iโ€™ll add it to the list! I enjoyed the last set of sisters I did so maybe itโ€™s time for more.

Thatโ€™s lovely! I didnโ€™t realise there was an Eleanor (my daughterโ€™s name), I might have to build one..,

Cheers, I really enjoyed it. Itโ€™s a little fiddly but maybe building Bronco tanks has made anything else seem easy. Iโ€™ve got a couple more lined up when I finish my wolves.

Saturnine now with head! Iโ€™ve just realised the pauldrons arenโ€™t quite straight but that should be a quick fix. Next some highlights on the metal, maybe a couple more markings (Iโ€™m thinking a wolfโ€™s head and a VI somewhere) and then some battle damage. #warhammer
