Just drybrush Boltgun metal over the Choppa, thena bit of chainmail lightly drybrushed over that. Doesn't look too bad, though you could wash the skin with Devlan Mud (or wash the entire model in it) and then go over it in the green you used (the skin that is)
Think Orks are hard? Try LOTR Moria Goblins, they're like half the side of 40k models
Yeah I don't have a ton of paints
The only green I have is unfortunately not a good color for Ork skin
[QUOTE=wraithcat;31256365]No stealers are cared for as lved pets by the cult. The patriarch runs the cult. Though he usually looks like a super fat stealer[/QUOTE]
Cause he's the first one. The Stealer and Magus run the shop, and the Patriarch (a stealer) is the one running the long game for the cult's well being and activities. The loved pets are the first gen hybrids. Full cycle Stealers are just that, Genestealers, and therefore smarter than your average peoples. All that was set up in WD 113-114, and afaik it's never been changed since.
Not that it really matters though, I'm probably going to go for IG or Tau next
I'm just using the AOBR minis for some gaming and to learn how to paint

How dare you call the wings on the Night Lords helmets ridiculous?
They're as awesome as the rubric marine helmets.

First mini ever
Choppa's too dark, brush is too thick
I broke off the head by accident when putting it together but that's nothing a little glue can't fix
I didn't bother with flashing too much since I don't plan on going for Orks/SM if I ever start a real army[/QUOTE]
That's not bad, at least your hands don't shake and make you get paint everywhere you don't want it

oh btw those ridiculous night lords helmets are ceremonial[/QUOTE]
Ceremonial?
I thought they only wore them to inspire fear in the enemy.

Blood Reaver has them wearing the helmets (stated as ceremonial) simply to impress the Corsairs.

I think I posted this before but the greatest scare tactic was the Grey knights using terminator armors from other chapters, making the enemy believe that six different chapters all in terminator armor had descended upon them.
Playing DoW online with friends sure is fun :3:
But we usually have 5 people so it splits usally into 3 vs 2
I remember one crazy match where, I think unit's hitpiont got bugged, a regular marine squad had almost 60K hp(WAT.) :v:
Epic battles were fought in this skirmish. A giant siege of my and my teammate's base. Me as Chaos and him as spehs mahreens. We set up in a valley which led to our bases. We were defending against Tau, Orcs, Necrons, Dark Eldars and 2 Chaos bots.
Man it was crazy.
Necrons an DE got wiped out by the bots.
The Orcs and Tau guys had to go after around 90 minutes.
So we were left with bots, we decided to attack their bases, but destroying a SINGLE stronghold took us almost half an hour... [b]AND THERE WERE 3 LEFT, NOT TO MENTION OTHER POSSIBLE ENEMY BASES ON MAP[/b]
So we gave up :v:
Will upload some screens later.
It always pisses me off how Loyalist marines are always more skilled than their Traitorous counterparts. Admittedly, not every chaos marine is an original traitor, but then neither is every Loyalist marine a Heresy veteran. Even if the Loyalists have better maintained equipment, shouldn't renegade chapters also get that equipment? What about the patronage of the dark gods?

It's the warp, messing up their mind and equipments

It's because loyalist marines are generally more disciplined in combat, as Cyrus states in DoW 2 CR that the traitor marines are rather undisciplined

Think you got that backwards. CSMs tend to be FAR more experienced than SMs. They've lived a fuckload longer and done a lot more. SM's are simply usually better equipped and work as a team.
They're also rather often exposed to the warp, which isn't exactly good for your mental health.
what i don't understand about CSM is where they get all their geneseed and equipment from.
come to think of it where does geneseed come from, various marines often die to tank shells and other means that obliterate everything beyond recovery..

I read somewhere that they created Gene seed on Terra after the heresy. If you mean in the corpse then I think its supposed to be next to or near the heart.
Although I could be wrong on both accounts, Rayven Is no doubt going to correct me.
Geneseed was created about 3 or so centuries before the heresy, by the Emperor, while new geneseed can be made by the mechanicum, it's a painstaking process (or rather, cloned is pretty much what happens) it is left unchanged.
CSM steal it either from bodies or from storage facilitied.
When a Marine is created, theere are two geneseed organs, one which grows in the throat, which can be harvested in a number of years, another, the original implanted one, in the torso, which can only be reclaimed upon that marines death. The Mechanicum tithe loyalist chapters a certain amount of their geneseed now and then, which serves two purposes, one to make sure that the geneseed is still stable, and to allow, once enough geneseed has been amassed, the founding of new chapters where/when they are needed or to rebuild chapters that have suffered massive losses.
So for every one geneseed implanted, two can be harvested conditions permitting, although at least one is before the marines go into combat (unless they die while they are a scout before they had it removed) although the Sapce Wolf Blood Claws are an exception.
At least one storage facility that holds geneseed has been raided, by the Iron Warriors on Hydra Cordatus.
As for their equipment, they either get it by capturing it, or the Dark Mechanicum makes it.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how hard are Orks to paint in comparison to other races?

The same way hes does Saren.
Pact with the Devil.
Rogue Trader was 20% off at Borders. :D
Also, Eisenhorn is really good and I'm blowing through Xenos at a pretty fast pace.
Read Ravenor series next after you finish the trilogy, ties up some loose characters, and is written in a similar perspective to Eisenhorn (i couldn't get into Ravenor until I'd read eisenhorn, the writing style annoyed me until then)
Also, Soul Drinker, get it, and Helsreach too.
I played some matches of Retribution multiplayer

Me as spehss mahreen, hoboharry as chaos and a bro as tyranids. Playing together.
