| OK folks I need some community input. I've known from the start that I wanted to use squadron colors on the Thunderbolt flight and while I am in a holding pattern waiting on a shipments of paints I should tackle some of this. Instead of the common style of either just the wing tips and/or a tail &qu... |

| yeah beetle backs are hard (unless you want to sink tons of time into them doing a fine blending job which probably accounts for why I don't use them-Lucius are just so much easier that way :D). Here's a few small quick things that might help break that up: 1. Paint the skull on the Aquila a differe... |

So that the Ultra DeathStrike Configuration? 
Actually she's a good save and glad to see an old beetleback get some much needed love. Pick out a few details and give her a REALLLLY good hit of DulCoat and those lines will not be as dramatic. |

| I was tempted by this Xmarx-GeoDome but am not sure if its too "retro". ::) I've got a few X-MARX items and while I've seen plenty of resin that is better, they're of a decent quality enough and come at a fantastic price point (he's actually got an ebay storefront I've snagged them direct... |

| A let us not forget that a 1000 battle brothers is an ideal not a requirement (at the 1001st they don't say, "sorry but we're all full at the moment"). Numbers go up and down due to losses and recruitment and "siring" new chapters. Some are noted as being in the many thousands (B... |

Hearing great stuff about the Army Painter Soft Tone and Dark Tone inks (read close to the old GW sepia and devlan mud uses). I've ordered some so I'll paint a patch and post comparison when it comes in.
NOTE: we're talking about the INK not the QUICKSHADE here. Two completely different products. |

| Not a proxy per say but I went out on a limb and snagged the Spartan Games Military Installations package from Firestorm Armada and I have to say I'm impressed.
