You mean the armor plates under the backpack? A lot of chipping applied with sponge and brush, and then using the grey basecoat color to paint jagged lines across the red stripe to make the paint look scuffed up.

Squat Exo-kyn from Necromunda, done for a painting-challenged coworker as thanks for some hobby knick-knacks that he gave me.

Thank you, it's the magic of fluorescent paint.

Thanks! It's real easy, put a small dab of watered down bright white paint in the eye socket, once dry do maybe 2 coats of fluorescent green over it. Then maybe 2-3 coats of a very watery glaze of normal green around the eye sockets to make it look like the glow is spilling over a bit. That's it!

Already looking forward to painting the Matagot Hag, absolutely grotesque πŸ₯°

Took a break from the space marine assembly line and painted this for spooky season. Never been particularly interested in Age of Sigmar tbh, but I will concede that whoever sculpts their undead are on point.

Funny you should post this because I just ordered the Argel Tal figure. Was looking to do something special with it as well, though it won't be nearly as ambitious as this.

A thicc chonker. Took the liberty of deleting the giant chest eagle motif as I thought it looked a bit out of place on a traitor legion.

FWIW I had a lot of fun with this game in the late 90's/early 00's, no idea if it has aged gracefully or not though.

Sons of Horus Siege Breaker. Fun model, only fiddly bit was the wrap around Apple TV. I put him on a 40mm like the rest of my hero models. Close to having the Storm Battery Detachment painted up. #warhammer #warhammer30k #horusheresy #spacemarines #sonsofhorus #paintingwarhammer

Quarantined at home with a nasty ass cold but at least I managed to bang out another Sons of Horus marine.

Been having a lot of fun painting these antique-looking mk.2 space marines from the Saturnine box.

If you want people to know that you're definitely playing the good guys version of the legion you could always paint them up as Luna Wolves (black/white armor) before they changed their name/color to SoH and things went completely sideways.

First test marine done from the new Horus Heresy box.

Not sold on how the edge highlights came out tbqh, I think I'll try to grimdark it up a bit on the next one. I do like the cylon visor look though.

This was quite an interesting and challenging Lore to write.

A pic of a delicious bottle of Washington state red opened with a partially sipped glass among camera and model building hobbies on a wood table.

Tweaked the camera settings a bit and got some new pictures I'm much happier with.
