My weekend project while the wife was out of town was to finish the artillery team from my Krieg army box, which had been sitting in my queue since January. A couple days’ work and it’s finally done. One of my favorites I’ve done so far. #paintingwarhammer #deathkorpsofkrieg #imperialguard
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social) reply parent
Totally fair

About done with my field artillery crew. Hoping to knock out the gun and emplacement tomorrow. #imperialguard #deathkorpsofkrieg #paintingwarhammer

Assuming you printed with resin (which is what I use), any acrylic paint should be fine after primer. I’d imagine the same for filament prints, but I have no direct experience painting those. I use citadel paints because they’re what I’m used to but they’re fairly pricey. Army painter is good

Haven’t posted in a minute, but I have not been idle this week. Working on a couple more tanks, some kitbashed Krieg grenadiers, and some Steel Legion kasrkin #paintingwarhammer #imperialguard

Oh, no big deal, he clearly just spilled a pot of Morghast Bone while base coating his minis #paintingwarhammer
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social)
as I’m sure you guys know by now I’m very much a “print it and forget it” guy when it comes to kitbashing/converting these days, since GW has made it much harder than with the old multipose kits. But I saw someone on reddit do this Kasrkin/engineers kitbash and I had to try it. #paintingwarhammer

Thanks! I can’t take credit, I followed a Duncan Rhodes tutorial, and the scheme is originally from Siege of Vraks, but I quite like them

And I mean, OBVIOUSLY these guys aren’t gonna walk everywhere, so I went ahead and knocked out their Chimera too #paintingwarhammer #imperialguard #steellegion

Very productive week at the paint desk has the #steellegion squad one mini away from completion, two Krieg Russes just needing weathering to be finished, and yet here I am, starting a new project, the Chimera. C’est la vie #paintingwarhammer

Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy painting infantry but it’s just so much more work!
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social) reply parent
I own an airbrush but have never been able to make it work the way I want, which is too bad because that would cut down my paint time even more. But what I love about vehicles is just being able to spray, wash, drybrush and be done. It’s harder to distill infantry down to those basic steps.
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social)
The Armageddon Sentinel is done! Vehicles are such a joy to paint, this only took a couple hours of work overall (not counting the time it took washes and mud to dry) and I’m very happy with how it came out. #imperialguard #paintingwarhammer
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social)
Throwing a sub? In this economy?
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social)
Still the base to finish but otherwise the #armageddonsteellegion sentinel is done! I love painting vehicles, this took me about the same amount of time to complete as maybe two infantry would’ve. #imperialguard #paintingwarhammer
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social)
I still need to finish the #steellegion infantry squad, but in the meantime I had to try my hand at an iconic unit I always wanted growing up, the Armageddon Sentinel. Pretty happy with how she’s coming along considering my lack of a useable airbrush! #paintingwarhammer

Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks! Those are technically Krieg tanks, but I do think the aesthetics flow very nicely together, which is a big part of why I did the steel legion to complement them
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social) reply parent
Not like a one stop shop, but my go to is always YouTube. If I want a specific scheme or unit I can usually find a good tutorial. Duncan Rhodes is kind of my favorite right now. It’s just incredibly helpful to see someone do it and explain what they’re doing and why
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social)
The lighting at the office isn’t good enough to do serious painting but it IS good enough to do basing steps like shading between bouts of lawyering #paintingwarhammer

There is nothing like the feeling of prosecuting a trial to a successful conviction, particularly in victim cases. Some of my proudest moments But jury trials are ephemeral The dopamine hit I get every time I read an appellate opinion agreeing with me is eternal
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah agreed that Ogryn Camo is out, but I’m still considering Krieg Khaki. Maybe a blend of that and Morghast I like Zamesi but I think it’s just too yellow, not that it wouldn’t look great but it’s not that close to the original SL color
Bird Law Expert (@birdlawexpert.bsky.social)
Alright Warhammer chat, what yellowish camo color do you like for Steel Legion armor? From left, your options are 1. Zamesi Desert 2. Morghast Bone 3. Ogryn Camo 4. Krieg Khaki (other images attached for reference) #paintingwarhammer

Today we’re working on a dozer blade. I like the pop of color it’s going to add (and of course we’re going to load up the scoop with mud and branches and barbed wire to really sell it), but my god, never paint anything yellow and never paint stripes wider than a single brush 😅 #paintingwarhammer

True, but then look at the Dorn. Every moderately competent paint job of it I’ve seen online looks better than the studio’s work because they insist on painting it like a cartoon. I’m convinced half the reason people hate that model is the studio paint job

The more I learn about Warhammer, the more I think it's probably the best possible future of humanity. Like, yes, it is grim and dark, but so is our current reality. At least their gods exist. They have space travel and psychics, too.
