JackStreicher Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I‘ve been trying to kit-bash new Chaos Chosen for my army. First Slaanesh Chisen and then undivided Chosen: 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 I saw some really great Chosen for Slaanesh using the 40K Sisters of Silence kit. The Sisters of Silence kit even comes with two handed swords as an option so most of the work is done for you. Give them some converted heads and the like or even just paint them up and they'd fit right into a fantasy army. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are excellent sculpts, but I don't know what scale they are in (Kairic humans? Sisters of Battle humans? Freeguild Guard humans?). Could also easily be Executioners, and would be a better Freeguild General than the Freeguild General. In the included picture, I can't tell whether it's an AoS or 40k unit!

Beastmaster Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Since Corona-numbers go up again in my area, I changed direction. An AoS game outside the house may be inadvisable for the next months anyway. So I decided to make my collection playable at home. Next project: A nice Hinterlands playing area, with multiple warbands to choose from, a 4x4 battlemat and lots of things to clutter it with.

That would put your minis to work quite nicely! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EccentricCircle Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yeah, they've taken Gotrek, mounted him on a flat base, then cut off his mohawk to make a bald character (not hard to do I wouldn't think) and replaced his axe with a macuahuitl from a saurus warrior. Its a nice conversion. The different colour scheme really sells it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwabbele Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I noticed that normal paint isn't "holding" well to sprayed / airbrushed gold or metallics in general. It is kinda flowing like a wash but not so extreme. Could I stop this from happening when I matt varnish the parts I want to paint over with another color? Or is it me having wrong paint consistency once again :D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar when I took the wrong spraycan and sprayed black metallic on my Kharadron instead of flat black, though I attributed that to just the wrong kind of paint.

Lightbox Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Made some progress on my AoA chaos lord that will be mounted atop a hellcannon. Hellcannon has been sprayed and will need painting soon then will need to do crew. Not too happy with how the face came out but it will do, it's fine for tabletop quality at least, gotta finish her cloak still.

zilberfrid Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I have my Oathmark book, and I like it. I'll give my impression specifically about the kingdom building soonish, because I think it would be possible to make an awesome AoS campaign implementation from this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBrodd Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hey guys quick question, I'm sub assembling my Gargant to make painting easier. Question is when I go to reassemble would it be better to use Plastic or Super Glue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do sub assemblies I like to test fit and then place tacky glue dots at the points of contact before priming. That way i can peel them off exposing the plastic underneath after priming. After that it's just a personal preference on Plastic/Super glue as you've avoided the trap of primer on primer connections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldarain Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 You are gluing that thin layer of paint to the other thin layer of paint. So the bond ends up weaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I figured having these boxes on my desk would shame me action but instead they just became a towering monument to depression. anyway a small victory for the sullen as after months I was spurred into action today and built them, now they can join their mates in the miserable ‘to be painted’ pile. huzzah 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't painted larger models before and found it difficult to get the highlights and shading looking good on the fly. So, when I came back to them I started on the riders and completed the armour and cloth, it's given me more motivation to keep going. It's not something I have heard before, but if I was starting another large model, I would start and finish one section/detail before moving onto the next. It makes it feel like less of a struggle to me anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several kits on the table in various stages of ready to build, ready to undercoat, ready to paint, ready to base and in the middle of painting. whenever I feel or have time to do one of those things, I have no hurdles to make a little progress. Although it’s a pain that I can’t really have the building stuff lying around as my daughter can no climb on the table by herself ☹️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) I’ve been building a new Khorne list based on slaves. WIP shot . Once these are done I plan to get a chaos lord on daemonic Mount (or convert one with a spare horse) I have also continued exploring the vast range of excellent board games out there. Recently getting War of the Ring. in the pic, Saruman is smashing Rohan, but Pippin is in fangorn - what could possibly go wrong. There are 205 minis! The quality of the plastic is bad but I am contemplating using different contrast paints and picking out key details to help distinguish the armies.
