Great day for priming though. Spray a bunch of models, get back inside and feel productive.

I recently decided that Heresy 3.0 isn't really for me but wanted to build a final centrepiece model for my army before putting it on hiatus. This is my take on Mortarion Ascended for Horus Heresy, he's been reposed a fair bit and crammed onto a 50mm base. #warhammer #horusheresy #deathguard

One of my favourite recent models; a death guard land raider spartan. I felt like going old school with this one so I cracked out the old Chaos vehicle sprue courtesy of a kind donation from a fellow player. This is going to be a party bus for Mortarion and his Deathshroud

My normal go-to is sprue goo for small gaps or transitions with smooth surfaces (it'll utterly eliminate detail) or a milliput paste if I need a fair bit of it applying.

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 06/05/2026

I tend to like other products in that area but yeah. Vallejo's plastic putty is the one I like best. You can also use sprue goo and even use plastic cement to work it a little if you prefer that. Or Milliput can be thinned with IPA, though the resulting paste is the messiest thing on the planet.

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 05/05/2026

Honestly you might just be able to thin down a filler or putty, strip the primer and use it to smooth the join rather than sand it too aggressively. Obviously you don't want the joins to look bulbous but it's probably not a huge step-down and a liquid filler would probably do it fine.

Reddit takes the no threats of violence thing ‘very seriously’. I have that in Wilson marks because in practice it’s so po-faced about it that it goes full circle into being funny

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 20/03/2026

This guy is made out of components from literally 6 kits, a huge chunk of putty and sprue goo for gap filling. I had fun doing it but this is not an easy or economically sound way to make an army.

I assume this has been kicked off by the Krieg/Steel legion discussions? Either way I agree, I've done a 3000 point converted Death Guard army for Heresy. I had a great time making it, it was really fun and I'm still adding the odd unit to it but it's not easy, quick or cheap to do a whole army

The best part of 7 months and an edition change later, but my outrageous ten-Russ backlog has been cleared. Just waiting on a Bad Squiddo restock for my tank commander then that's that

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 10/07/2025

Agreed, I have no idea what's in this edition for established gamers. I get that the urge is to not give in to reflexive negativity but really why should players be happy that a company arbitrarily changed the game on them like this?

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 09/07/2025

The lasrifle kit is legitimately baffling, the Veletaris kit's better if just because the joints are all chunkier. If you need Companions I used Necromunda parts but the gold standard is Krieg Veteran arm sets. Alternatively the Legion special weapons can be made to fit for rotor cannons etc.

010 1

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 08/07/2025

Oh and it's a lot of posts but while I remember, do yourself a favour and unbox every lasrifle sprue you have and do all the arm pairs of a type at once so you only need to figure the fit out once, because they're absolutely bloody diabolical.

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 08/07/2025

Also thir markings and colours were very open to change, the base colours are that standard grey but mine are a light sand and no one's yet complained. I also made up my own marking scheme to make telling tercios easier and no one's said a thing negative about it, not that I'd care if they did.

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 08/07/2025

I posted on twitter too but the Solar Auxilia were like a quarter of the Imperial Army by the time of the Heresy, the idea they were in any way uniform is ludicrous, they were a template of how to form elite Imperial Army troops that was then tailored to local tastes and resources.

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 07/07/2025

The War Bastards are a fun pack but humorously my first thought seeing it was 'hmm, could he be female?' Stitches has a nice relaxed look that'll go well in a turret though, worst comes to worst I paint the pair up as a fun side project.

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 07/07/2025

I don't suppose you have a restock schedule do you? I think I'm going to use Stitches, sawn off at the knees, as a tank commander to lead my Solar Auxilia army. You've got some wonderful models and I hope more people learn about them.

They're my favourite army and I've painted a lot of them. They're a commitment to build because you need a lot of models but they're very fun and rewarding to play. They also look great on the tabletop.

I’ve had less time now that baby care is a part of my life so I decided to break into a stack of models I’ve had for ages. This is from Ravaged Star by MiniWarGaming and is waiting for a final enamel wash, it’s been nice putting paint to plastic again and it was a really fun model #ravagedstar

Slightly different project for me, I've started a pair of Alpha Strike armies so here is some WIPs from a Fedcom company in parade colours. To do now is get decals on, oil wash them and do a final varnish.

Thanks to personal stresses this year's been a slow start but I finally got the first of my ten extra Leman Russes primed. This one is my converted command tank, less its dozer blade and a suitable commander for the turret. I'll probably grab something from Bad Squiddo for the commander.

Similarly, I've got that first Ravaged Star one. Kickstarters make it easy to buy a ton of models fast so 200+ dudes can be one purchase a year ago that just shows up one day and you're ambivalent about after the pledge closing to delivery delay let you cool off.

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 09/02/2025

If it's incremental purchases then it's probably time to consider whether your hobby has become buying stuff and maybe cut down. if it's a single thing like a Kickstarter that didn't stick the landing then it's one of those things. I've got a ton of Ravaged Star sat around that I'm meh about.

This is technically not AdMech, it's for the Mechanicum in Horus Heresy and they have minimal crossover with the AdMech 40K range.

Further, in the Horus Heresy series Oll Persson lives on Calth specifically because it had been a frontier world that drew in colonists from the central Imperium so it makes complete sense every ethnicity would be represented; they moved to Ultramar then migrated internally over 10,000 years

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 05/02/2025

Ultramar isn't even a planet with equatorial zones; Macragge is but Ultramar is a 500-ish planet interstellar sub-empire that the Ultramarines recruit from. Even if they just recruited from Macragge and that was 100% white for some reason of course people would move there from all over the empire

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 05/02/2025

Like here's an example based on a project on my desk. I'm currently converting a Russ into a commander because the army I'm building needs one and just painting one gold is boring. You don't see them producing projects like that because they're largely not hobbyists, their real hobby is complaining.

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 05/02/2025

One of my big takeaways has been that many aggrieved 'Warhammer fans' online don't actually seem to be all that into Warhammer. They hardly paint models, they don't play, they never seem to post actual hobby stuff themselves. If you asked me if they were really fans of Warhammer I'd probably say no.

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 30/01/2025

It was an easy choice to make frankly, my first reaction on visiting your site was to look at a few models and go 'wow, these are great'. There are so many models that just ooze character, among the many other horrible things they're also oozing and the whole Boglanders range is awesome

020 2

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 29/01/2025

Doubly so because, back in the day, a lot of their kits were cross-compatible across ranges. Human kits tended to be compatible across every game system and while it's not the same as their rules basically if it was some form, any form, of Space Marine the parts would go together.

Section 31 works when it’s a handful of Starfleet captains who secretly view themselves as tough men making the tough calls, but writers can never resist giving them shipyards and ultra advanced technology. They’re better off as a collection of pessimists and kooks than as a shadow Starfleet

I genuinely don't get why they'd remove that customisation, a lot of the charm of 40K is tailoring your army to be what you'd like it to be and playing out the battles that make up the company/regiment/whatever's history. Those regiment rules weren't rules bloat, they were vital flavour.

Thanks! It's a trio of Contrast paints kind of mashed together in alternating areas then highlighted with some Vallejo neons and a paleish purple and the white eyes washed with Berserker Bloodshade. It's a really simple scheme but it's fun to just mash the paint on.

I think a lot of it is that a 30K Daemons army is either substantially a 40K looking one or it's a massive unofficial collection of third party models, which makes it harder to show off in places that care about that. I'm building one but it's mostly Creature Caster and Kickstarter boardgame models

Too Much Plastic @toomuchplastic.eurosky.social · 06/01/2025

They also said that these were their 'coming in 2025' models, it'd seem absurd to create anothermodel that looked exactly like the Thanatar-Calix, not to mention that Thanatars are huge, I'm not sure they'd even function in Necromunda. They're the same height as an Armiger
