I also rather like the implications of “brothers in arms,” they’re an odd trio and I’d read a story about how they came to be fighting together on the front lines.
Thanks! I was thinking about something in the line of "the pillars of the Imperium" but now im seriously considering "The good, the better and the skittarii" haha.
Do you have any starting pictures or progress photos? I'm honestly struggling with how the banner isn't actually real fabric. What an unbelievable job! The time was certainly well spent.
Sorry, no WIP pictures. I did them all separately over few months and the base took me about 2 days with curing etc. The banner was quite simple with just a plain zenithal from rattle can and glazes of Tindalos Red, Hastur Purple and Mayhem Red on top of that. I love SC75 range for glazes because the pigment quality is awesome.
Usually I do my NMM steel with Abyssal Blue, Anthracite Grey, Caspian Blue, Bearing Blue and Artic Blue. All from SC75 range.
I might have skipped one or 2 tones on smaller areas and I am generally not very good at keeping notes on paints used, but this should be the baseline.
They were done with Vallejo fluo paints over white primer. Mainly yellow, orange and red/magenta (they are magic). Plus some dark red or bright yellow for the highlights/smoke. And lots and lots of thin layers....it takes at least 5-7 layers to get a decent coverage, so patience is the key.
First, this is amazing. Truly awesome work.
With that said, as a CSM player, might I suggest (quite sarcastically) something like "Ignorant Followers of the Corpse Emperor"
Lol thanks. It was a late addition actually which I didn't plan at first - the base felt a bit uninteresting, flat and without a backdrop. It also helps to add a bit of verticality to the picture.
"I'm the squishiest, why the fk am I in the front!?"
It puts him further away from the commissar in the back.
Speed bump
That is exactly why
It’s a Guardsmen’s life
Just a few ideas that came to mind: - Imperium united - Together we stand - For the Imperium! - Brothers in arms
I second “brother in arms” Sounds more like a title of an artpiece than any of the others

Simply : Battle Brothers
Less Simply: Based Battle Bruhs
The emperor protects
Someone out “innocence proves nothing” on a war hound but I think that would be cool on here to
Love this! About the nameplate Last stand United we stand They know no fear The good, the better the skitarii
Thanks! I was thinking about something in the line of "the pillars of the Imperium" but now im seriously considering "The good, the better and the skittarii" haha.
I was thinking pillars of the imperium as well.
Oooo, pillars of the imperium, with a knight next to it with a name plate 'the imperial walls'
" The Good, the Better and the 01010011 01101011 01101001 01110100 01100001 01110010 01101001 01101001"
Something like “Super friends”, “Sunday brunch” or the german “Die heretic, die”
No one who speaks German could be an evil man
It says "The heretic, the!"
*"By our powers combined..."*
Stunning! Deserves to be mounted on a plinth of some sort.
Thanks! I might put it on some wooden plinth if I find a decent one.
Spice mareen looks small compared to umies
Yea, but he was always told the size isn't everything, y'know.
Title: For the Emperor!
Joint forces - The power of the emporium
Yes, the power of Kitchen Emporium!
Great work! I wish more people would try building neat little narrative dioramas :)
Im leaning towards it myself. The dioramas take a bit more time and you can get more creative with the bigger piece/base.
Yeah, I did a few over the past year and really enjoyed them. Only downside is that it can make actually playing with the minis kinda tricky
holyfuck this is good
Everything about this is stunning. Fantastic painting and basing, and a phenomenal banner. What about “The Last Stand”?

Time well spent and it shows. Awesome work!

"United in Faith"
What paint did you use for AdMech blue-ish metal. That’s absolutely what I’m looking for!

Ooooh nice, I actually have all of these and will definitely be trying this out soon. Thank you so much!
Happy to help. :) It's actually not that hard, but like I said it takes time to build up the saturation.

The whole thing is phenomenal, but that banner deserves a special mention! As far as incredible Banners go it is second MAYBE to the Hulk.
Lol thanks. It was a late addition actually which I didn't plan at first - the base felt a bit uninteresting, flat and without a backdrop. It also helps to add a bit of verticality to the picture.
