Canis Rex is pretty dope. Slow though
Gotta deploy him right. I learned that the hard way.

I just like them for the lore reasons and that my army has so much variety
dont get me wrong, its a cool army in theory but in practice its difficult to justify in this edition
tribal loom
Oh yea. I was thinking about buying an army for so many months. Then I was playing rogue trade and the codex cam out and I said fuck it without doing a lot of research.
But no regrets I'm not playing for the competitive meta.
Ill have imperial knights for that.
It's my very first foray into minis.
twin sandal
oh congrats! all i can do is apologies for the state GW sells their sprues in now, they used to be a lot easier to put together
tribal loom
So far it's been OK. The deatchwatch veteran with the warhammer was rough. Tiny wrist point attach to a hammer and then to the shoulders. I fucked it up cuz the didn't dry quick enough and was hard to hold. Ended up having to shorten the hammer stave.
But otherwise it's been great.
twin sandal
that's good to hear
tribal loom
That's so far in order of what I've painted.
From first to last.
Next is the rogue traders then deathwatch then sisters and then breachers and arbiter subduction
Magnetized the corvus too

nice work! thats some pretty good going with the painting

Do you use superglue?
I had that problem with the HTH until i switched to Tamiya plastic cement

Best game as a heavy
tribal loom
I had that problem with the HTH until i switched to Tamiya plastic cement
I haven't tried Tamiya but I have AK plastic cement and it's almost worse. If I fuck up holding it long enough before it sets...then I've lost a bunch of plastic to melting and now it's harder to make a 2nd attempt. The only thing I can see workng is that stuff that immedietly sets under UV light
tribal loom
nice work! thats some pretty good going with the painting
Thanks! I watched months and months of painting videos before I was brave enough to buy a set and start painting

Tamiya gives you a minute or so with a thin coat
With a heavy coat you can get it to like 2 mins for the big stuff like tanks
Once i switched to tamiya my hammers stopped falling off
tribal loom
Tamiya gives you a minute or so with a thin coat
The idea is I wanted it set quickly so I don't have to hold tiny attach points like wrists to hammers
cobalt otter
Itll hold at about 15 seconds or so with small stuff
twin sandal
yeah the plastic glue that melts the plastic together is really useful for making minis super durable, on the other hand it does make it a bit of a pain if you want to re-use a base on another model
tribal loom
Yea I 've heard that, I definietly super glue for bases
and cement for most other things
cobalt otter

For attaching the base i scuff the bottom of the mini
twin sandal
yes but if the base and the model have fused it becomes very tricky to get it off the base which was my point, ive had a few old models whos bases ive wanted to take off and use on a new project and i either get about 2mm's of extra plastic on the base or the base snaps in half and stays attached
tribal loom
Yea I've hard if you super glue, and then pop the mini in the freezer you can take it off the base easily
twin sandal
Yea I 've heard that, I definietly super glue for bases
yeah, thats not a bad shout they might break off the base on occasion but its not exactly difficult to fix that
cobalt otter
I do the basing of most my minis first with cork, so if its messed up its easy to tear the cork off
Downside is dropping them usually does the trick too
twin sandal
id like nice bases like that, but i can never decide on what to actually base them on, might do some fancy bases if/when i start my Sons od Malice force
tribal loom
I have yet to do anything with the bases I have no clue what I wanna do
twin sandal
same here, my entire space marine company is on the normal black bases

cool

Just as a curious question. I wonder how many points an average chapter is worth on the table. like a whole chapter.
cobalt otter
Just as a curious question. I wonder how many points an average chapter is wort...
The hard part of that is there is no official amount given for the tanks, support crew, command, vehicle pilots, etc
But for 10 squads for 10 companies, the baseline is 16000 points
Thats with just Intercessors. So itll be slightly different wirh 1st company being vets and termies, and 9th and 10th being scout/neophyte" comanies

Interesting. Thank you

Thank you and the big update came today but I had a course and didn't really have time to play it yet is it any good?
tribal loom
The new operation is so good
I played it on ruthless too and it's a good difficulty without being impossible [if you're level 25]
Oh and they added gold as a main colour 😄
so now you can play as a space marine cosplaying as a custodes

New mission is fun.

I just had 6 zoanthropes on a level 1 mission. The spawn rates are a little borked right now, but yes, new mission fun

Spawner is bugged.

I heard about the zthropes issue but did not notice myself when my son and I were playing.
south warren
I haven’t had many pop.
tribal loom
they said they fixed that 6 zoanthropes thing
weird
they did fix the rolling, apparently it was a bug that shortened the roll distance
weary widget
THey responded to that question. apparently the roll distance was not changed.
tribal loom
Yes it wasn't but there was a bug affecting it. It's in the 4.1 patch notes.

How is the new pistol?
south warren
How is the new pistol?
It’s okay. I wouldn’t right home about it. It seems to melt bosses (if you have more than one).
tribal loom
How is the new pistol?
Really bad till you get the purple leve. Ass Tyszka said it has a "cumulative damage" effect. So if more than one player is hitting the same enemy with it it will take more and more damage faster.
I find now that it's decent at taking out small hordes.
south warren
