I still haven't started on it but I have come up with my own Chapter. I'm half Korean and wanted to do something to with my heritage in mind. I decided I will do a Primaris founding in the flag colors of the Republic of Korea. 🇰🇷 I will use the four Trigrams as markings of battlefield role. The name came later since I was trying to figure out what words to use to make it RoK. I finally came up with "Rapture of Kings." There is some more details on the paint side but you folks get the idea. Lol

[@thepaintingphase]

Awesome! Loving hearing how folks introduce there own or other cultures into their collections

[@ImposCoE]

That's a neat idea!

[@CanadianHunter69]

I think that sounds sick af bro, have you started?

[@sludgedisciple]

Have you seen Thunderwulfen's Soul Haunters? they are amazing. He went to Gibraltar I believe this year. So many people follow that look and style now.

[@RHolloway2]

Great video! Me and my brother-in-law created our own Guard regiment recently. They're the Derventians from the planet of Derventia, which was the Roman name for Derby (I'm from Derby). We're both Sharpe fans so they're based on the riflemen. Their fatigues are rifleman green, then the carapace armour is light grey and with bronze accents for trim, rank insignia etc. It was fun to come up with the fluff and colour scheme.

[@thepaintingphase]

There is nothing I don’t love about this! Especially as you teased me in with ‘Riflemen’ and ‘Derby’ 😍👍

[@nathanlovin]

This was great! I’ve enjoyed hearing Peach talk about the lore for his forces, so it was awesome to hear Peach talk through the process from lore to paint scheme. Also, the return of the cursed one thick coat marine in the ad was excellent.

[@minimaher82]

I love making up my own sub factions, to the point that last year I started a Blood Angels army, and now they're a successor chapter because I got bored painting everything in the "proper" colour scheme! Kill Team has proved a blessing for this too, so many opportunities for small numbers of weird models! Keep up the fine work chaps!

[@lowey129]

Well now I know how I want to paint my 5 spare phobos marines 🥲

[@Politov]

Absolutely love calling the colors of the US flag the "Star spangled tones" and I'm referring to them forever more as such, in reference to the flag. Sorry, in reference to the star spangled tones

[@Mukkanzie]

There’s just something so satisfying about watching someone being really good at their job. Every colour you add looks so sharp and neat, and Pats crisp camera work only emphasises it further. Another great video gents!

[@WarringtonMusic]

My homebrew called ‘Sons Of Marius’, name of the great general, the first ever in fact to unite his people and go on 7 great campaigns. After 40,000 years, things get mixed up and muddled you’d imagine so it’s a great way to show inspiration on your models, as well as a little head nod to those who may be able to share the injoke.

[@WarringtonMusic]

Oh and it took almost years until I got that name as it only came to me when I returned to hobby 😂

[@troopersgaming1666]

this was a great video, i love customising my color schemes and its great to not feel so stupid making my own stuff lol

[@RequiemWraith]

Great video, gives a well laid out, easy to follow guide. One big 'don't' that i discovered is just trying to squeeze your favourite colours into a scheme without much thought, it doesn't really work to have ALL the shades of blue on one model.... Particularly loved the sponsored section, adding humour is a great way to improve the ad experience

[@BecauseOfDragons]

Great looking scheme. I love "gaming in the gaps" and playing around with the lore behind a force. My Space Marine Chapter are Dark Angels "Successors" but not by choice. They were Primaris reinforcements sent to the Chapter but their ship got lost on the way, diverted by Chaos shenanigans. They survived fighting in a rip in The Warp for decades before finally (Event Horizon style) getting spat out the other side. They encountered Imperial forces who, because they're armour was beat to crap (it's all just bare metal now) and they were covered in the trophies of their kills (skulls everywhere), they opened fire on them. The Forgotten (as they are called now) killed the Imperials and then found themselves hunted by the Dark Angels nearby who thought them traitors. Now they almost work as a renegade company - hunted by their Battle Brothers, the Inquisition and Xenos/Demon factions all vying to take them out. Because of their dour and properly grimdark existence, they are led by Chaplains (even more skulls) and have a real focus on getting stuck in and beating their foes in close combat. Going to work in lots of Dreadnoughts to add to that fatalistic side to them.

[@bocatt9202]

I started with lore, then colors for my homebrew chapter. When the primarisening happened i couldn't think of a better time to introduce a chapter of all women as one of Cawl's many many experiments. I picked Blood Angels for their primogenitor legion as one of the details from the Heresy was the sheer adaptability of the BA/Sanguinius genes. The saying being that the ascension process took anyone, no matter how chemically or genetically different and made them into Angels. From there I decided to stick with red as an easy color to paint when I am not a great painter. I blended some black gradients in since I wanted the relationship of the chapter to the black rage to be very close and ever present. My chapter master is kind of a play off of Gabby Seth so I liked having some Flesh Tearers vibes. The blood drop iconography common to BA successors gave me my last twist and my chapter name. I wanted to take that icon and make it blue and shiny like a teardrop instead. So my chapter is the Tears of the Sanguinius and I have incorporated the shiny blue "tear" color as part of the chapter colors in trims and details like aquilas.

[@ovan2190]

Always LOVE custom army videos because I find each creator has similar yet completely diffrent approaches to how they go about it and it's so much fun to see I'm in a bit of a bind with my own custom chapter because they're Nightlords blue, with dark grey puldrons, silver trim yellow eyes and Kahki weapons/some markings but I don't know what color to us to get some highlights on the armor because one wrong shade and it could be mistaken for a form of Ultramarine successor when they're an experiment to replicate the space wolves but with other ferocious animals

[@kkouuy]

They can live on the Fortress Monastery, "The Pegging"

[@songofulthwe]

That'd be what they called their way of making war ;)

[@TheSianFromAtlantis]

I spent yesterday making various waterslide decals for shoulder pads in my Leviathan box actually, and settled on a simple broken black heart icon. I did the first tester yesterday, settling on a sort of green/blue transition. I called them The Emperor's Sorrow.

[@Reesily]

Really like the battle damage you added to the armour. Had not realised it was relatively straight forwards

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

As a offshoot to the Raven Guard I made my own Chapter and called it the Regal Ravens , which instead of Grey Black I painted as a selection of Blues, making then a tad familiar as a sort of Wolf Marines.

[@IronFatherJohn]

As a historian thank you so much for picking a location on a map as a way to have the lore write itself.

[@Blacknight8850]

I came up with my Tau army's whole colour scheme and faction (Sept) because I found a couple of old Fire Warriors I'd painted as a kid and decided I'd try and do a "proper" version of it as a challenge. They were wearing Green armour with Orange fatigues which is... unconventional, let's say, but after a bit of brain wracking I realised it made for a pretty good scrubland/savannah camouflage scheme with a bit of tweaking. That informed all the subsequent variations, basing and even conversions as a result, making my army really feel like "my" army :)

[@crafthammerminiatures]

One of my favourite ways to pick colour schemes is pop culture, movies, games, comics etc. And sometimes I just pick 1 colour and figure out the rest when I'm painting.

[@anotherzingbo]

I love coming up with homebrew colour schemes. For Space Marines I currently have 3 on the go... The Tange Marines are Space Marines from the planet Tange and wear bright orange armour. They have some odd ideas about their place in Imperial history which may or may not be true. Their armour is trimmed with green so company colours are worked into their tactical markings instead of being displayed on their pauldron trim. The Thousand Blades on the other hand are a new chapter, from the Ultima Founding. They were dark red armour, to honour the Adeptus Mechanicus who saved the chapter from a gene seed mutation that threatened its existence. They paint their entire right arms in the colour of their company and paint weapon casings in their old chapter colour of white. The Hawks of Imperial Retribution wear blue armour that is so dark it is nearly black, save for their pauldrons that are bright yellow. They are notoriously taciturn around outsiders but are rumoured to be far fewer in number than most chapters are, and are primarily seen fielding very old battlegear.

[@schmick1018]

My home-brew were the Scarlet Janissaries. I painted a handful of tests and i was determined to use red and white. I surprised myself by using teal as a cloak colour. The problem was freehanding painted sailing ships as their icon.

[@Bodkin_Ye_Pointy]

So I switched from Orks to Eldar following Phil Kelly's annihilation of them with his codex release where he costed Orks the same as Space Marines but took away all of their quirkiness. At the time I had a complete army to paint and I was not going to do all the little tricks I did with the Orks. So I gave them metallic colours for the armour and flat colours for helmets, weapons and trim. The first colour I used was Tin Bitz for the Guardians and I worked it into every vehicle colour scheme also. The other figures just coloured themselves, like bronze for the Fire Dragons with red helmets and guns. Metallic green for the Scorpions with yellow trim and I had a ball with the dred's and mandi's. And so on with the flat colours toning down the metallics to a decent finish. The name of the force started off with Illiandius as the Craftworld returning from the edges of the universe. Ceth'Arial was the Autarch in charge. However the names have changed with the force being called Rince Wind in homage to a great author. And the Autarch is now called Felonious. The Warlock Conclave became Cerberus or a lone Warlock called Suspiscius. Naturally the Spiritseer is called Lachrymose which I thought was dead funny. And so the fun goes on.

[@nightlordAL]

I've always been surprised there's no armies painted like a hobbiests favourite sports team

[@thepaintingphase]

I wouldn’t want to pass the curse onto my marines tbh.

[@kohldooley8621]

Loved the video! Awesome hearing peachy talk about his lore and process. I have my Ashen Angels (blood angels successor). Grey with red shoulders and the name/ lore came after painting my test models!

[@thepaintingphase]

Yeah it’s amazing how things just come together

[@laurencewyles1379]

The angles of pegalation. Or any other peg thing doer name is very good

[@sandervandegarde569]

This was a very helpful video, love the paint scheme, love the lore part as well. Good tip for not restricting yourself. Keep it up and have a lovely day.

[@thijsjonker8983]

Amazing results with realistic methods, this feels super approachable. Thanks for sharing it with the community!

[@insufficientdata0247]

I’m starting up a thousand sons thrallband called the “prescient scion” where their whole this is that the scour the warp for prophecies that will cause the most change in a situation, good or bad. My color scheme for them right now is a light jade/ sea green trim with burgundy details and tarnished gold for the metals. Absolutely love them.

[@tomhughes1055]

I rarely leave youtube comments but these look awesome! Hats off guys, love the content 👌

[@benburkin7942]

Great video, I like that you showed the process including different colour schemes before the one you settled on

[@thepaintingphase]

It’s one of my favourite parts of the hobby I think, trying out colours and ideas

[@scottfiteni-gibson6453]

Great video, love the colour scheme! Especially like the covert option 👌

[@Bitsandsquits]

Before pulling it out of the scabbard was comical perfection 😂😂

[@HowAdzPaints]

lovely video, thanks lads! i sort of had this headache when trying to plan out my Blood Ravens. they're an established chapter, but aren't detailed as completely as the main line ones so had to figure out what i was going to do to fill out my collection. also facing having to do this for my Necron Dynasty, as i wanted them to have been absorbed into Sautekh but still show a couple flashes of their previous namesake!

[@Politov]

I've added a comment every time I've paused to appreciate something in this video. Love the way you turned the algorithm joke into lore, and I immediately knew there'd be some iron hands love. Also, Wayland Gains needs to be a recurring character. For the glory of the emperor and the algorithm!

[@MikeB-nn4nh]

Got my idea for (off)black and Green halved marines.. nothing to do with the “biscuits”.. with Khorne red bolters (they shoot faster 😉 ) and silver/purple(?) Aquila… Warpstone ends up too dark., and moot is too flat.. (mootstone..??) Maybe Striking Scorpion over…rakarth so they don’t look glowy 😅 But then there’s the robes and special marines… 🤔

[@justcaleb5647]

My friend has an awesome custom space marine faction he calls "The Bronze Knights." It's very well painted and I beg him all the time to post about them but he never does lol.

[@grimshank]

Excellent stuff. Love these painting videos.

[@VentiChristopher]

Great video! You inspired my next paint project.

[@KelRiever]

I Love Painting Phase videos! Just because they are so fun, to listen to and watch. I mean they are useful too but I'm basically all about listening in here while I paint, and you guys for sure carry the mood to keep my brush going.

[@thepaintingphase]

Aww thanks 😍😍😍

[@Dalinks337]

A lot of the tips in this video are ones I used for an Imperial Guard colour scheme inspired by the Marines in Halo 3! It's all really good and helpful advice, and I'm really pleased with the results so far!

[@confusedandbefuddled]

Thanks Peachy, I love the way you lay things out so logically and deliver it so compassionately. I do painting to escape the pressures of the real world and it is so easy to get up tight about how it goes, you always so calmly remind that it is OK whatever you do. Thank you.

[@thepaintingphase]

It’s a pleasure to be of any assistance, though I’d never described me as any of those lovely comments lol 😂👍

[@jordancameron3584]

This might be my favourite non-Sidetracked video yet. I really enjoyed the process and explanations. I’d love to see more videos like this, even for established colour schemes or factions as you put your own personal spin on them.

[@thepaintingphase]

Hmm…..I like this idea. Leave it with us

[@Farglator]

Love the Orange and white. Really like the idea of doing the Phobos marines in a different colour. Might steal that idea when I finally get around to painting my own Primaris marines :-)

[@frankyuengling8074]

Shapeways has 100's of printed shoulder pads designs on their site. They have alot of other bits too.

[@gomertron6329]

The paint scheme looks good.

[@garyknight3018]

Great video! Hope we get to see more of this chapter in future videos… and that ad was another amazingly fun part of the watch!

[@thepaintingphase]

Cheers Gary, glad you enjoyed the silly ad read too

[@tedwilliams491]

Cool video Mr. Peach, as always you paint like a real person paints, and you give lots of really useful tips to help get the job done. Not a colour scheme I think many people would have chosen, but there's lots of invaluable advice to personalise your models an develop your own lore. Top Job sir !!!

[@thepaintingphase]

Thanks Ted, as always I appreciate your support 😘👍

[@zachsilby4569]

Something I like to use for testing colors is the Space Marine video game on my PC, it may be old but a few games of the Multiplayer, and you unlock color customization, and it is PERFECT for getting the base colors down

[@hellglazer]

I really enjoyed this video! The music really worked and set a nice vibe ❤

[@davistaylor8782]

Phobos marine looked absolutely sick peachy, love the dark colors

[@arthour051]

I'm currently in the middle of putting together my own chapter. The nice thing is, a chapter can be up to 1000 units, split into 10 chapters of 100, so I think that gives alot of room to play around XD I ended up pocking their colour scheme when I found a dreadnought on ebay that had been custom painted, dark read but with a black rose on a kitbashed shield that was placed on the arm as a bit of armour detail, thorned vines wrapped around the opposite arm, and I bought a squad of red spacemaines before hand, so that kind of decided my colouring in the end XD Theyre mostly black and red, with gold accents, but I also experimented a little with one lieutenant (after I discovered I had put a Lt shoulder padded arm on him) and put a blue stripe on his helm instead of the usual sargent colour (he'd started out as a squad sgt) and I think it works, picks him out easily from the rest of the officers without overpowering the colour scheme. Right now I'm planning on kitbashing a Chapter Master together but just looking for inspiration on what model use as a starting point

[@doctorstormchaser]

This is really great. I’ve never been able to stick with anything homebrew; as I struggle to come up with new ‘lore’ and colour schemes. I do quite like following schemes therefore, but changing up small details. My Celestial Vindicators spot colour for example (gems, plumes, banners) is purple for example, or for my 4th Company Ultramarines its Cryptek Armourshade Gloss over Gold to get the really burnished basecoat and wash, before tidying up and highlighting!

[@Cartographer1980]

For symbols, buy some waterslide decal paper and just print your own. A single sheet can fit a couple of company's worth of chapter insignia with room for squad, campaign, special markings etc.

[@thepaintingphase]

Ooh that’s a great shout!

[@doc_eyebrow]

Flaming skull with lots of text on armour and not Word Bearers? Heresy! 😅 I did a Chaos Space Marine Slaanesh renegade chapter with torso purple wash over light grey, black trim, pink weapons and black legs with pink pinstripes, did a squad before I swore never to paint pinstripes again 😂

[@mathewfrance5165]

Ive got an idea of a more "good guys" version of Iron Hands that im working on a color scheme for. The main indicator I was looking for was big brite blue so you immediately pick up on them potentially tied to Ultramarines. I like the idea of a champter of veteran soldiers who have needed prosthetic cybernetics due to rough injuries in battle, taking the concept of the cybernetic hands of the Iron Hands to more of a benevolent direction and giving honorable marines more life on the battlefield. I like the notion of their connection to vehicles because of the implications of "your body has been disadvantaged, but through the power of technology you can overcome anything".

[@acidtest777]

Great scheme and some great tips. I love homebrew chapters and seeing how different people add to the grimdark future. I've got a homebrew on the go called The Bone Vultures influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, they started life as a mortifactor chapter then progressed into their current form, now lore-wise they are a space wolves successor similar to wolfspears with a heavy bird/vulture and bone influence to their armour gubbins

[@stevo_hobbies]

Absolutely LOVE this color scheme!

[@patimusprime72]

They look awesome! Colors are great. Once I "finish" my Imperial Fists I really would like to do a homebrew successor chapter for them. I know there's tons of them out there but they're my favorite!

[@olofgeelnard3148]

Head canon is so much fun! Did an ultra sucessor Sions of Salomon, Bobby ordering Captain Salomon Strife to found a new chapter exploring the wisdom and knowledge of the first born with the power of the primaris building new Tactics.

[@thundalust7889]

Just gave my tiny army a bath in biostrip ready to start a homebrew. Sucker for Blood Angels so from their seed shall be born Blood and Thunder!

[@kosachilles2504]

Absolutely loved this video!

[@Nomortem]

Loved the video! When I made up my homebrew chapter, it was color first. Basically I love the Salamanders but I hate green, so I painted my guys oxidized brass. I just wanted every model to have a flamer or variant, so it ended up being almost all firstborn. I ended up replacing their power mauls and thunder hammers with bells, I call them The Brazen Carhillon, their whole shtick is that they guard a cemetery world for saints. Very much inspired by Velstadt from Dark Souls II

[@thepaintingphase]

Oh sweet! I love this concept, cracking job

[@FacesNBases]

Really enjoyable and inspirational video. Loved the journey from concept to test minis to final products. A limited colour palette always helps nail down a scheme with coherency across an army. I've also used sports kits and motor sports schemes for inspiration in the past. Anywhere there's been some dedicated design you'll find some good ideas.

[@johnwalker6557]

My custom Chaos Space Marine force was the Crown Breakers. Purple armor, gold trim as a play on the royalty theme. The lore is, as a Slaanesh worshiping warband, they prefer to come to a planet, take out the leadership and then watch as the world descends into chaos.

[@jamiem9490]

praetorians of the pegs! nice video - its always a struggle coming up with colour schemes - huge amount of stuff about it online that can be overwhelming - its nice to have something that's straight forward about it

[@jonbolitho-jones7614]

Nice little video this. Thank you. I love doing custom home brew armies (guard in particular), and its great to see this encouraged. There are too many ultramarine armies out there and not every guardsmen with a gasmask has to be from Krieg. I tend to start with a conversion idea and a theme inpsired by something ive stumbled across (historical period, a scene from a film, piece of art) and go from there and work out paint scheme later. Though sometimes a bad paint job test model had completely derailed a project. Names though tend to be something that i stumbke across. My custom marines are named after a faction from Starcraft, the Sons of Korhul, but replacing the sons with knights.

[@larrywagner1432]

Both of my Chapters are home brew. I love the story telling side of the hobby so making my own chapter really hits home for me. I have the Sanguine Reapers (all Primaris), Blood Angels successors, and Scions Resolute (all first born).

[@ineedmoreflavour1955]

Very cool stuff

[@edgarbryan9804]

Awesome video! Making a custom space marine chapter has always been my favorite part of the hobby. It gives the tabletop experience a roleplaying feel. Also I love the orange. My space marine chapter is similar with a bone white armor with orange and yellow highlights. Thanks so much for your content! Presently working on admech. Would love to see you paint admech combat patrol. Have a great day!

[@hickdead6188]

Love it. This is something I'm very excited to get to. I'm not there yet, but am really enjoying the process

[@efeetham15]

Great vid. Very useful. Made my own Salamanders successor called The Steel Drakes and ill be using some of your tips

[@tytanwargaming]

my colour scheme is leadbelcher with caliban green detailing and when it came to my scout type units i done similar to what you've done here where the phobos/scout units are done in grey instead of silver to help denote that they're not wanting to stand out

[@brains4845]

This was really cool to watch and it seems great minds think alike as I have painted all the Phobos stuff in my custom chapter is in a much more mutes tone, though I went for that low observation paint schemes you see on fighter jets 😂

[@OmegaLittleBob]

Nice color scheme. I mostly stick to established schemes. But im coming up with a custom scheme for my Stormcast

[@DaXiS1987]

Looks great big peach

[@KiwiSpartan01]

Crimson Raptors a Raven Guard successor Chapter. Where we go, death follows. My colors are primarily black and red arms and green for the eyes, grey for sergeants. My phobos librarian has light blue robes with dark blue everywhere else and the powersword is a lime green. I'm planning on converting the primaris chaplain into the Chapter Master. To mak him stand out his jump pack will have wings and not a single bit of gold

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

I’ve crafted a homebrew chapter named the Shinobi Ravens, featuring a sleek panzer grey, black, and silver palette. True to their moniker, they are stealthy warriors hailing from the lineage of Corvus Corax, infused with elements of medieval Japanese heritage. Despite my enthusiasm, my experiences in gameplay have been met with criticism; others have disparaged them as ‘cringe weeb marines’ and suggested that sticking to the original Raven Guard would have been preferable.

[@thepaintingphase]

Ignore them, you do you. I’d love to fight them with my GSC, they sound cool - Geoff

[@jono_cc2258]

I’ve had several Space Marine forces since 3rd Ed and had always done a known chapter (Ultramarines, Black Templars) so once I returned to the hobby in the middle of 8th edition I thought why not create my own. So I’ve created the Castellans of Luria, a Primaris founded Chapter tasked with guarding Segmentun Solar against incursions emanating from the Sirens Storm. Of Imperial Fist genestock they are expert void combatants and excel in boarding actions using their heavy Gravis armour. Although they were formed under strength, with only 6 Companies, they show the grim resolve of their forefather to do their duty. Colour scheme is a dark red with no company specific markings (like the Crimson Fists), a black grey for the shoulder pads and veteran helmets, veteran sergeants having a yellow stripe on their helmets. Custom decals were sourced for the Chapter symbol (great quality and a good price) with the right shoulder pad sporting the tactical, assault etc symbol with the squad number on them. Really enjoyed coming up with their lore, drawing inspiration from a variety of places and even adding to it after notable battles or events, I wholeheartedly agree with your point of not being too specific and writing yourself into a corner which you then have to retcon.

[@Nigelius]

Ok, that Wayland ad made me laugh out loud. Great work Pat. As for the actual content of the video, I love any video where Peachy tells me what to do.

[@JohnWilliams042]

Love the video and the color scheme. One short cut I've used to land on a color scheme without a lot of work is to take a look at professional sports teams. Their brand is a sizable part of their identity and the color schemes look great. Painted up a fair share of Minnesota Vikings-inspired wizards for D&D tabletop because purple, gold, and white look great together. Great video!

[@thepaintingphase]

Ooh nice shout 👍👍👍

[@mrvanguard8467]

They look fantastic, you need to use them in a battle report now. Nice work peachy.

[@Zaggy_Grinn]

These look so COOOL!!! Thanks for the vid guys?

[@GrngoMandngogaming]

A painting video!!! Love it man 🤌

[@DigitalImpostor]

I wanted to paint my chapter yellow but I didn't want them to be completely yellow so I settled on quartered yellow and silver and gave them blue eye lenses and an orange chest eagle. With the rest of the model being so bright, using black for the weapon casing provides contrast. Given that they're half yellow it made sense to have them be an Imperial Fists successor, so I wanted to give them a name that would be appropriate for one who shares the gene-seed of the chapter that can recruit from Holy Terra. I went with The Ardent Sons as ardent means dedicated, devoted or passionate, so their name is like The Loyal Sons of The Emperor. Other meanings of ardent are glowing, firey or burning, so could have a different meaning if you take the last word of their chapter name as suns. Their chapter symbol was inspired by this meaning and that of another chapter with a quartered colour scheme, the Novamarines, and is the fist symbol on a yellow twelve-pointed star with a black outline.

[@thepaintingphase]

Amazing stuff!

[@feanor311]

The custom chapters are the ones that I enjoy the most, as it tells you more about the players. I made my own Adepta Sororitas Order, the Order of the Doomed Hospitaler, base around the offhand observation that their tabard style resembled Doctor Victor Doom from Marvel comics. I then made up my own Ad-Mech chapter based on my favorite American football team (the Tennessee Volunteers) so I could use their colors and also name them the most horrible punny name possible (they are the Volunteers of the Tesla Sea). Both of which, I guess, tell you I have a really rotten sense of humor.

[@joenewkirk6136]

Wow. Incredible. I think this really raises the bar.

[@superhandsminiatures1673]

Love makin custom stuff. My Iron Wardens and Order of the Eternal Vigil, being my faves.

[@U2HAT]

Nicely done.

[@spencerarmstrong258]

You got me to watch the entire sponsorship section. Well done. Take note, potential sponsors. Great stuff.

[@thepaintingphase]

The power of Captain WAYLAND GAINS!!

[@BrettsMinis]

These are soooo good! I might use this paint scheme for my next kill team! Peachy for Painting President!

[@thepaintingphase]

😍😍😍👍

[@malcolmhoyt6244]

My successors are the Void Watchers with metallic purple armor and silver decorations such as the imperialis. You chapters symbol is giving me heavy word bearers vibe.

[@DiceandGlory]

I loved the highbrow painting scene

[@MariusGage]

I think with this one you guys finally trumped the Custodes video as my favourite haha This was brilliant.

[@thepaintingphase]

😂👍

[@jonrollason5709]

These look excellent!

[@clonetf141]

my homebrew chapter is the Sanguinary Crusaders, I want their name to communicate very simply what they are. they are extremely proud sons of sanguinius, but they dont go with the typical blood or angel in the name and I have taken some light inspiration from the black templars, so, they are almost always engaged in multipule crusades, thus they have crusader in their name. I guess they also have by accident a thing doer in their name aswell.

[@toasthammer]

Hell yea! My homebrew Forge World also uses the best color scheme (Orange White and Black) 😄

This is almost the exact color scheme I have been using on my Leviathan box models. Differences are Main body: Orange, Shoulders: Black, aquila and trim Bone or Gold, with the apothecary in bone. Helmets are also orange, but vets and bone, and sergeants are black, I love what you did with the Phobos guy, and am heavily considering repainting him, but will probably leave him as is.
