Cheers, I use the Vallejo's golden olive. It really pops.

 

I'm really happy with the colours

Cheers, I think it might be my only vibe when it comes to miniature painting ๐Ÿ˜‚

 

Hopefully I'll get a few more finished later this week.

None of them are.

The figures in the original post are from a kickstarter coming out later in the year, I don't have anything to do with it myself but I was lucky enough to get a set of the early casts.

The tank is one of my own designs that I 3D printed, I've uploaded it to Cults 3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models

The other fully painted ones I posted in the comments are from a couple of places. The big fell with the sword is from L72 Miniatures https://l72smetalminiaturesmusings.wordpress.com/ and the other two are tech cultists from Checkpoint Miniatures https://www.checkpointminiatures.co.uk/shop/ftw13-tech-cultists-with-leader/

To add to this I have the patriarch and landspeeder from L72 Miniatures, a bunch more of the tech cultists to use a brood brothers, a magus from Hybrid Miniatures, the land raider proxy I designed and 3D printed and a scratch built limo that I am building from a toy car.

This was meant to be a dozen figures and a limo for playing skirmish games with because my wife bought me some of the tech cultists, but as these things often do the scope of this project has grown arms and legs. Which is sort of appropriate for a Genestealer Cult I suppose.

They're a purestrain proxy from Hybrid Miniatures, I think it's inspired on the original art work for genestealers in the Rogue Trader rulebook. I'm attempting to make the whole army from non GW miniatures.

They are really nice models, I've got another five of them to paint at some point.

Cheers, these were the first ones i finished. So in theory they should look something like this when I am done.

 
 

If anyone wants to try printing one for themselves I've uploaded it to Cults3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models

Yeah, sorry. I think I messed it up trying to add the thumbnail picture. That should be it fixed now.

[โ€“] Doctor_Spork@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

Cheers, there are another five and patriarch to add to this lot

[โ€“] Doctor_Spork@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Cheers.

These were the first four that I did for a game of Necromunda at BOYL, So the rest should end up looking like them.

 

Painting my space wizard was a fun little distraction, but genestealers don't paint themselves.

I've got my infantry base coated so it's time to give them a good wash.

And I've got a little squat that Chris at Ontos Games gave me at BOYL for when I'm sick of batch painting cultists.

Squiggly beasts were fantastic, but I have to disagree about the Zoanthrope I've always loved it. I am a bit odd though.

 

Having thought I would be chasing this forever due to the fact I didn't want to pay ยฃ50-100 for one I managed to grab this for a tenner.

Even better, when it arrived it appears to be in near mint condition. Oh happy days!

Josh has a really clean simple style for doing NMM that doesn't look to out of place on older miniatures (you can see it in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1OAylxlbyc ) so hopefully I'll be able do something like that in future.

In the painting guide I posted in reply to another comment Mike McVey describes his method for painting gold start with a white base coat then paint a mix of gold and yellow ink over it. That is such a mad concept to me that you would paint gold over white.

Cheers, I'm not so sure about the metallics myself. I've been getting lessons from Josh at the Crown of Command podcast and he has really pushed my colours and highlighting to the next level, but the next lesson is non metal metallics which I am hoping will really improve that part of my painting as currently I think it is lacking.

Me too, everything must be red!

 

And from behind

 

I love how 3D printing has let me bring some classic bit of scenery back to life.

I printed this off on an Ender 3 with no supports. If anyone has a 3D printer and wants on for themselves it's available over on Cults 3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models

 

I always wanted one of these, but the prices these days are beyond ridiculous. So when I got the chance to buy this (nearly complete) one for 50 euros I did not hesitate. Can't wait to do some fabrication and bring this pile of scrap back to it's former glory.

 

I did a little bit of sculpting on a 3D print of the old Warhammer Quest wizard, I'm planning on using him as a 40k imperial psyker

 

Josh was kind enough to invite me on to discuss my first white dwarf, issue 169 with the cardboard battle bunker. So if you have 20 minutes to waste why not give it a watch.
