    that banner turned out so so good! The idea of "dont paint the hero models different, just paint them the same+" definitely makes things much more cohesive and forces you to really see how far you can push your normal army painting recipe - and even find quick things you can add to your batch painting steps too

    While I do prefer the paintjob on the newer one, and it's a very nice paintjob, I must say I prefer the old one. Not because of any fault of yours, but it's simply a model I've seen many times before. The old marshall is a model I've never seen, since it's a kitbash, and it's that uniqueness that I always love to see when playing against someone

    I second the decal demand! Especially when Games Workshop has gotten legal with 3rd party decal makers for lesser chapters. At minimum if they have a special rule or character that is official we should either be able to buy them or put like a big sheet in boxes. I mean how hard would it be to downsize the 90 blueberry decals to maybe just a squads worth and give some successors some love?

    Honestly, this is a really good job. I 100% agree with HQ units being done up like your troops but with additional details.
    Getting them done up the same as your troops allows you to field them if you don't have the time to go the whole nine yards in one day, but by adding onto the standard paint job, your heroes come alive
    Good luck on your crusade against the Blue Orks

    Old Marshal tells a more unique hobby story. I can almost imagine a young player getting excited about using his kitbashed captain in a 40k battle ! The new one is going to look great on the shelf but I don´t think he is going to see much tabletop time.

    Love the decals. Gutted that they're 22 UK, all my iron hands could literall be any one except for the iron father and my venerable dread because I free handed an aweful insignia. Btw in regards to who is better, your old marshal is amazing but the new guy in gravi I just leagues above. Brother you inspired me to try harder with my painting, to make my miniatures look actually good. I learn from your videos while every thing is nice and chill and I've noticed since I've been watching you my painting has improved and the actual desire to paint, it no longer feels like something I have to do to get them table ready, it's something I want to do, I'm even painnting stuff that has no relevance to my army like I recently painted a DND hellwasp for fun. I guess I'm trying to say thank you for opening my eyes these past few months to a side of the hobby I didn't realise could be this enjoyable.

    To be honest I like the idea of the bare head. I know you don't like how small it is, but here's my thinking:
    The head has very vibrant colours, making it a focal point which draws the eye a lot. On top of that, the giant gravis hood frames the head perfectly, giving the smaller head a nice amount of space which is good since it's the focal point and you don't want it to be obscured or covered up by anything.

If i were you, id paint up a gold mk7 helmet same way you did the gold on the model instead of the exposed head. Black templars were notoriously... hesitant to accept the primaris marines until girlyman roasted sigi and dorn to helbrecht's face. I have a longstanding rule in my army that all leaders have first born helmets or bucket helmets that i found online
