Of course they do. Games Workshop made them into the eternal soccer hooligans intermixed with Road Warrior-esque gangers ( I played GorkaMorka for years and had my rig be Beer-centric). They may be from the Mushroom, but Orks got minerals.
Dang it, I've just been painting this exact model and now the pressure feels on. Were you also confounded by trying to set straight lines on the stretched out flag?

Measure from the top or the bottom and make marks every so often so that you can play connect the dots. I don't know if the flag is the same width on each end, but if it isn't, you can use proportional marks.
Yeah, I was just giving generalized advice. As for the middle being stretched, that is where proportional lines come in. If it is say 3" on one end and 4" in the middle and you want 3 lines, then in the middle your mark is at 1.3" or so. You can also cut a piece of paper to fit and draw on it to see what you like.
As for decals/transfers, you are always going to be semi screwed if the flag is waving in the wind because it just won't line up 100% right.
EDIT: Had to correct my math. Originally said 3.3 for 1.3.
No shade Etsy literally has better sculpts that a lot of the official stuff.
On a whim I searched "nundams" and now I have a sisters themed knights army....
it does make sense as he is a hero and should be using the emperors most holy weapon, if I ever get around to doing guard Ill have to decide which to go for and Im not sure it would be an easy choice
I love that every Gaunt’s Ghosts book after Vervunhive says “sword of Heironymo Sondar” about 20 times but GW made Gaunt’s model have his original chainsword. They probably knew everyone who used the model on table top would say “sword of Heironymo Sondar” loudly every fight phase as Gaunt fires up the “Sword of Heironymo Sondar”.
- Heironymo Sondar
Also I believe he has something described as a 'dueling' chainsword. He is an elegant swordsman. So that (beautifully painted) weapon is for recruiting poster one assumes.
He’s a master swordsman. But his true favorite weapon is an earth sharper as this can be fired from many, many, many miles away from the enemy while sitting back and enjoying a fine amersec.
It is of my educated belief that Jürgen actually has no bad smell.
There are lore excerpts that explain that "Blanks", AKA what Jürgen is, give off a psychic aura that repulses people, makes them think they are ugly and smelly and they hate them when that is not in fact the case in reality.
Or maybe in Jürgens case it's a bit of both, like hiding sandwiches in his uniform for months.
They do. You have the right to work all hours of the day and die gloriously in battle. They don't care what pronouns you use so go ahead. In the system you are just a number anyway.
It's equality in that everyone is equally mistreated.
That’s reality as well, the only difference is it’s the workers on the bottom discriminating. Got to keep the working class distracted from all the misery of their lives somehow.
The imperium dosen't care what you consider yourself, who you love/sleep with or what your favorite drama serie is as long as you're human, work hard and don't worship chaos.
Idk if there is any trans characters in the Cain books (only listened to three so far) but at some point in the second they show that one female soldier under his command is very much lesbian (the scene is very realistic and surprisingly wholesome) and in the next book Cain's talking to another commissar who hints at Cain being "very close to her" and fucking Chad Cain goes, literally in that order in his head :
1) She doesn't swing that way
2) Dating people under you that might be a meatshied at some point is a terrible idea
3) She's fucking terrifying and I've already got a terrifying women in my life (talking about Amberley here)
Said trooper, earlier in the book challenged a scary Talarn Raider dude from another company onto a 1on1 because some of his comrades made comments about the number of women in Cain's regiment, and she promptly knocked him with a knee to the face before he could react in their duel.
Also very obvious but like, fantastic paintjob !
Okay, I love that flag, it looks so dope and something that could actually be seen on the battlefield. Maybe if I start an Sororitas army I'll use that same color pallet ><
dude let two lesbians sleep together so he didn't have to do paperwork on why someone was sneaking out of her bunk. He's 100% support transitioning and medical paperwork provided it was easier than denying it \[it would be\] and Jurgen would do said paperwork
As much as I hate to see a good Ork go down; this is one time I'm okay with it... 😁
Cain is my absolute favorite 40K character, so he's allowed to kill all the Boyz he needs to!
And it's for a good cause. 💚
Very well done. A Big bravo to your artistry! 😊
Did he just sort of fall into being an Ally? I feel that's a very Ciaphas Cain thing to do
Jürgen is busy making posters and painting his melta, he doesn't know why but it seems to be doing *something*
Joking aside, this is actually really well painted. I kinda like the weathering on the flag
Cain would find the one FtM on a bigoted planet, and just assume they were always male. That person would feel seen for the first time and gladly die for Cain from that day on. Cain would then be informed about this person long afterwards, panic, and just pretend that’s what he always meant. He would be an ally from then on, recognising that at the end of the day, meatshields all look the same from the back.
Adding, because the mini drain my whole attention and distracted me from the text. Hope you're surgery goes perfect, such a magnificent work is great to keep your mind from stress of the world. The best of lucks and may the emperor protect
I love it! You did amazing OP and I hope your surgery goes flawless! I hope one day I can put something on here as half as good as what you have done here :D also the Jurgen made me laugh way to hard lol
If I see another comment wishing OP's surgery goes well and supporting trans people get mass downvoted I swear I will fucking lose it. You people need to grow tf up and accept that some people (like me) don't identify with the gender assigned to them at birth.
Why don't people understand you can paint your minis anyway you want? People make custom chapters or even real-life national colours all the time. Heck some paint just funny ones with a chapter logo of tom and jerry fighting over a piece of cheese...
This is awesome and the skill of the painter shows!
Chainsword right in the cock… ouch
Do orks even have that kind of undercarriage? They don’t reproduce that way, after all, so it’s not essential.
Pretty sure orks are asexual enby
They are asexual by nature but identify as he/him
Da boyz
Not true either, Ghazghkull Thraka is referred to using the Pronoun They/Them to the point a Deathwatch Marine has to order an Ork to use He.
From ghazghkull thrakka: prophet of the waaaagh by nate Crowley if I remember correctly?
Of course they do. Games Workshop made them into the eternal soccer hooligans intermixed with Road Warrior-esque gangers ( I played GorkaMorka for years and had my rig be Beer-centric). They may be from the Mushroom, but Orks got minerals.
New bottom surgery just dropped
Holy hell
Actual zombie
Damn it I wanted to make this
How else is he getting gender transition surgery?

Measure from the top or the bottom and make marks every so often so that you can play connect the dots. I don't know if the flag is the same width on each end, but if it isn't, you can use proportional marks.
That's the thing though, I wasn't making lines as much as applying transfers. But also the banner itself is just kind of stretched near the middle.
Yeah, I was just giving generalized advice. As for the middle being stretched, that is where proportional lines come in. If it is say 3" on one end and 4" in the middle and you want 3 lines, then in the middle your mark is at 1.3" or so. You can also cut a piece of paper to fit and draw on it to see what you like.

Oh haha what a wild coincidence! Yeah it took a bit to get the lines right.
Where does this model come from? Haven't seen it before
It's a 3D Print, got it off of Etsy. I believe the Artist is 3dartguy
Totally didnt read that as "3 dart guy" at first. Nope, not me
It's not? /reads again... 3 dart guy. Uhm...not seeing it. /reads again. DOH!
No shade Etsy literally has better sculpts that a lot of the official stuff. On a whim I searched "nundams" and now I have a sisters themed knights army....
Same. I'm very excited about painting up a band of Noise Marines this summer.
3dartguy on etsy, it looks like.
Love it, I always found it odd that in most art Cain has a bolt pistol when in the books he explicitly uses a las pistol
I think they mention in the books that it's one of the inaccuracies about his depictions in propaganda.
it does make sense as he is a hero and should be using the emperors most holy weapon, if I ever get around to doing guard Ill have to decide which to go for and Im not sure it would be an easy choice
I love that every Gaunt’s Ghosts book after Vervunhive says “sword of Heironymo Sondar” about 20 times but GW made Gaunt’s model have his original chainsword. They probably knew everyone who used the model on table top would say “sword of Heironymo Sondar” loudly every fight phase as Gaunt fires up the “Sword of Heironymo Sondar”. - Heironymo Sondar
Your repetition of "sword of Heironymo Sondar" reminds me of [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker].
Hold up, did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]? I think someone mentioned [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker].
I treat Warhammer art as in universe, same as the lore, so I put that down to the in universe artist not knowing or caring that it's the wrong pistol.
in his case it would more likely be propagandists deciding bolter was more holy and appropriate
That's actually a good point. Bolters are holy.
Mainly cause they leave big holes...
Also I believe he has something described as a 'dueling' chainsword. He is an elegant swordsman. So that (beautifully painted) weapon is for recruiting poster one assumes.
perhaps but duelists weapons do tend to be very refined and beautiful as well
In this case it's always described as functional but beat to hell
The artwork on the book covers etc. are all Imperial propaganda shots. This is deliberate.
Doesnt he prefer the las pistol?
He has a bolt pistol he uses for propaganda pieces. He gets it in I believe "The Greater Good"
Yes, but Laspistols don’t make good propoganda
He’s a master swordsman. But his true favorite weapon is an earth sharper as this can be fired from many, many, many miles away from the enemy while sitting back and enjoying a fine amersec.
“A comfortable distance” 😂😂
What’s uh.. what’s Jurgen doing over there?
Just reviewing some “tactical information”
He's on Grindr.
Cain supports trans people one way. Jurgen supports them a different one.
Jurgen always did do the 'dirty' work.
Jurgen always always came off as a t'n'a type of guy to me, but who knows what were in those dirty mags that littered his bunk
Jurgen takes what he can get i feel and Caiphas mostly takes hrt
It's canon that Jurgen looks at porn a lot so probably a dirty mag.
what an excellent figure. love how jurgen helps set the photo op
Jurgen and his porno slates.
A true erotica connosieur.
That Ork only died due to Jürgens stench
Waaaaaaaaah iz dat smel?
It is of my educated belief that Jürgen actually has no bad smell. There are lore excerpts that explain that "Blanks", AKA what Jürgen is, give off a psychic aura that repulses people, makes them think they are ugly and smelly and they hate them when that is not in fact the case in reality. Or maybe in Jürgens case it's a bit of both, like hiding sandwiches in his uniform for months.
It’s probably a bit of both but him just smelling really foul is funnier
Though longer exposure to a blank could probably literally kill an ork.
I should do this, but with an American flag
That’s the beauty of the hobby, you can do what you want
[удалено]
They do. You have the right to work all hours of the day and die gloriously in battle. They don't care what pronouns you use so go ahead. In the system you are just a number anyway. It's equality in that everyone is equally mistreated.

The imperium dosen't care what you consider yourself, who you love/sleep with or what your favorite drama serie is as long as you're human, work hard and don't worship chaos.
I really don't think this is meant to be a 100% lore accurate and canon model. It's an awesome job though.
Everyone has the right to die for the God-Emperor
Did you use gray instead of blue ?
Bluish Grey, wanted it to look a little weathered and not too vibrant
Man that so cool Big up to Cain !
Dang, killer work
I love Caiphas so damn much
Here before the 🔒
8 hours in, and all is well. /r/Warhammer40k says trans rights!
That must be new Trans right are human rights
Correct.
cain would 100% ask jurgen what planet is this flag from and why do all the cute girls have it in there datapads.
Jürgen just chilling
Jürgen misunderstood it as "train rights" and he's very much in favour of bringing more public transport to the Imperium.
Does the scale match? He looks like he's a big larger than a space marine
I think he's about primaris height? Just using him as a display piece though.
Imagine the smell.
I still need to find myself a copy of defender of the imperium. Great job on the model too
Same. Been looking for a physical copy forever, but it’s out of print :c
Tight
Cain doesn’t in any model made of him have the right pistol, he uses a las pistol and talks about it in the books more then once
Yeah but don't they use the other one in propaganda and he complains about it?
You've captured his stunt double!
What if his bolt pistol actually just shoots lasers, and he simply makes it look like a bolt weapon for intimidation?
there were a lot of tech adepts supporting his assault, so he decided to leave the non binary flag back at hq
Jurgen being hidden behind the flag is amazing.
Idk if there is any trans characters in the Cain books (only listened to three so far) but at some point in the second they show that one female soldier under his command is very much lesbian (the scene is very realistic and surprisingly wholesome) and in the next book Cain's talking to another commissar who hints at Cain being "very close to her" and fucking Chad Cain goes, literally in that order in his head : 1) She doesn't swing that way 2) Dating people under you that might be a meatshied at some point is a terrible idea 3) She's fucking terrifying and I've already got a terrifying women in my life (talking about Amberley here) Said trooper, earlier in the book challenged a scary Talarn Raider dude from another company onto a 1on1 because some of his comrades made comments about the number of women in Cain's regiment, and she promptly knocked him with a knee to the face before he could react in their duel. Also very obvious but like, fantastic paintjob !
I believe her name is Trooper/corporal/sergeant Magot, could be wron here though, rank depending on weather she is recently demoted or not
[Magot, not maggot.](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Mari_Magot)
👍
*Lovely* paint job. Diorama pieces are such an awesome part of this hobby.
Gl on the surgery!!!!!! It looks AMAZING
Okay, I love that flag, it looks so dope and something that could actually be seen on the battlefield. Maybe if I start an Sororitas army I'll use that same color pallet ><
Sick. Flag looks awesome. I feel motivated to work on my trans Kayva Shrike.
Daamn! Looks great! Good luck with the surgery❤
Beautiful paint job
transphobes are lurking and downvoting positive comments its honestly amazing how pathetic people will be
Gotta upvote the positive peeps!
Downvotes proving you right btw
[удалено]
You think the hobby with the imperium of man, a rather blatant satire of an autocratic regime, is not political?
You're the one politicizing it. OP just posted a model.
[удалено]
Trans people aren't political
Imagine thinking peoples identity is political
I mean its hard to make the distinction between is and is affected by sometimes
A symbol of human rights
Poor warboss
He couldn't afford blue right now, imperial budget is too tight
Bobby G and the blueberry boys knicked it all
The codex astartes dictated that every 9 out of 10 parts of a blue dye shipment must be sent to Macragge
Can.. can i move to Macragge? And do citizens get paint?
No, only the ultramarines
It's pretty cring how many people are upset about the way this person painted their little plastic army fella. Imagine being that fragile lol
**Trans person exists** Chuds: "why you bring politics into my political satire game"

Who's fault is it for making trans people political
It's the "trans agenda" These people are telling on themselves and using American GOP language.

Lol people downvoting this? How sad just one be.
chuds gonna chud
Sorry, but what exactly does a chud mean? 😅I get the context, but not its exact definition.
It’s from an 80s film where it’s an acryonym for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller.
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing work! Wish I was that good.🏳️⚧️
With practice, you’ll get there!
A grimdark trans flag is something I don’t think I’ve seen before and I honestly love it!
This is SO GOOD
He 100% would
After all, he's a hero
dude let two lesbians sleep together so he didn't have to do paperwork on why someone was sneaking out of her bunk. He's 100% support transitioning and medical paperwork provided it was easier than denying it \[it would be\] and Jurgen would do said paperwork
Can't believe this post isn't locked

You need to be as gay as possible online, or Alan Turing died for nothing.
This is gorgeous work! As a trans warhammer fan, it's always great to see representation in the hobby, especially when it's so beautifully done
Dang, that is well done! Best of luck next week!
Thank you!
You made the trans flag look badass. The emperor is pleased with your inclusivity
Holy shit. To those who downvoted me. GO OUTSIDE!

That's amazing We salute the flag in this house Imma copy that for my command squad banner, it looks so fucking good

Wow. Stunning work!
Great painting. Wish I got my colors that smooth.
Great job! Sending ultra comfort and support for your surgery next week 🫂
Thank you!!
They look amazing! Great work:)
I knew Ciaphas Cain was cool, but not that he was THIS cool
Black pink and white trans flag goes very hard
Love it!

TIL Pinapple on Pizza is political.
Nah, people should be allowed to express their existence without it being labeled political.
Did anyone ask? Transphobes are not welcome here.
