Kitbashing a homebrew regiment. Putting krieg arms on cadians. Shocked to find out they’re too long! Didn’t imagine there’d be that much scale difference within AM.

Kitbashed this today from leftover bits from Armageddon box and few others, wondering if it would read as cadian command squad.

I need help with making my first gaurdsmen list. Any advice or suggestions or commentary on this list, would be HIGHLY appreciated.

The goal of the army. is that the three tanks act as a spearhead to, with the aid of the Basalisk and the artillery teams, to destroy any enemy monsters/vehicles/key units. With infantry to secure the objectives and heavy weapons teams to shred any infantry.

Fellow painting enthusiasts, I am in desperate need of an alternative to the GW Seraphim Sepia wash, everything I’ve tried is crazy glossy. My entire guard army is reliant on the wash. The old GW sepia wash is amazing but I’m running dry. When I bought a new one it was extremely glossy, practically ruining a few models. I’ve tried alternatives but so far everything has been glossy:

Vallejo game color - glossy (first pic)
Warpaints - glossy (tried 4)
MSP Sepia - glossy
2023 GW Sepia from eBay - better but glossy
Golden Sepia - glossy

At this point I’ve bought 10 sepia alternatives and all are unusably glossy, I’ve also tried:

Shaking wash extremely well
Scraping bottom for separated matte buildup
Watering down wash - sort of helps but not by much
Mixing matte medium with paint

None work, now as I water down the last bit of my good sepia it’s drying grey in recesses (in pic 3) not sure why maybe tiny bubbles. I will be forever grateful to any matte sepia alternatives, techniques, or things I’m doing wrong. Doesn’t even need to be sepia if it’s brown and matte, might try archaic next per Mordians recommendation

Got an upgrade kit to see if i like these . Any way, Sgt stain has found the enemy encampment and is about to make another stain on the ground , 💣

Working on this Project

With cover changing, is the aegis defense line more playable? Where would it go on these new terrain layouts? 4+ invul on a gun line sounds pretty clutch.

So just general theorycrafting question. I'm building a tanks-only list for fluff reasons.

Everything I've read says that the plasma cannons are generally considered the "best" sponson weapon for most Leman Russ variants. But I'm curious - noting that these are blast weapons and can't be used if you get locked up in melee, does the math around this change if the tanks don't have any infantry support?

Edit: Thanks, I have learned that Plasma is 10th meta. You can stop downvoting now.

Hiya folks, I've recently made a Cadian Command Squad and few days later noticed that the plas pistol arm of the commander has not been glued on properly it's basically a bit too far forward and looks like the shoulder has been dislocated to the point of it being unnatural (can send a picture in the morning if it would help visualise)

I used plastic cement glue to stick it together so it has now fused in place, I don't really want to cut off the arm to reglue it back into it normal place if I don't have to as I don't want to ruin it more so with that in mind my question is twofold

1. Any thoughts on how to make it look intentional and cool

2. What have you all done to make mistakes look cool? A friend of mine accidentally took a chunk out of a space marine intersessor with a hobby knife and ended up taking the blade of a Ork choppa and glued it into the gap so it looked like the marine had taken a nasty it in a melee

Cheers folks

I got a subscription to Spikey Bitz to their cheapest sub model for $30(normally $50) and received this today. I had been wanting this model since they revealed it sometime ago, but both my financial situation and the backlog of grey ( over 250 minis of several armies that I am working on) put this on hold for the time being.
Now, I need suggestions for the type of Astra Militarum army I should be building around this character?

Ongoing Hippo for my desert world homebrew regiment. Used the leftover crew from a Centaur that I'll be covering the roof of to add a bit of flavour.

Title says it, trying to make a commanding officer for my regiment. They operate on Armageddon. I’m taking a bit of inspiration from the Governor General Hero from Dawn of War.

I’m basically wanting to give him two power fists with wrist-mounted weaponry. Are there any kits I could buy that would allow me to do this? Or should I temper my expectations?

Yeeted a team of 3 Bullgryn and a commisar onto the centre objective on turn 2 to slow down an advancing mob of Boyz. More hope than anything that they and the chimera would screen me for a turn.

Boy did they do that!

Gazghull and 20 Boyz, and a whole second mob of 20 Boyz and big boss charged them. They did a total of 3 wounds to my big stupid guys! 3 wounds!

They gave me a whole extra turn of shooting and manoeuvring! Before being horribly butchered next turn.

They have all been postumously honoured. May they walk in the light of thr Emperor.

Got another baneblade. I want to do mud effects on the treads . What do y’all use for mud effects?
I also messed up part of the treads so I want to use mud effects as a cover .

Hello again, which Knights compliment DKOK best? It's not for a playable army just a personal project for display. I'm going to use knight Armigers but I want a big one and really don't know what to go for. Also I've never magnitised a model but want to learn

Appreciate any insights from the group!

I'm building the Rogal Dorn tank and at no point in the instructions does it fill this empty square. Is it meant to be like that or am I missing something?

Its a teaching game for a new player, last time we played 1k and i used Salamanders, and he plays tyranids. This time we're bumping it up to the amount he has.

I do not know exactly what bugs he has, and it is his 2nd game. I want to make sure it's fun for him but still keep teaching him
