KT is really fun though, and I was thinking of trying Warcry, but the only army I like has barely any updated models at all

#

And also, I can’t bring a doomwheel in Warcry

Oo

Yeah my plans red clothes, black boots and armour, tanks / guns same colour

Since in game we use the regular green lasguns

And not special black ones

As you can see

I also plan on doing 100% respirators

#

Oh yes absolutely

#

For your kasrkin do some urban camo type shit

#

Like the hotshot penance armour

narrow ice
#

Eeh, it's complex enough even without camo

#

Guess so

Cant wait for them to releast the kasrkin kit

A few friends have asked if I wanted to join their warhammer game. After playing this. Ive decided I should get into it. I like the Nighthaunt army. Do you guys have any suggestions on where I could buy a set? Im not really into model building and painting.

Nighhaunt is a different universe

#

There are 2 main Warhammer universes

#

Age of Sigmar and 40,000

#

This game is set in 40,000

#

I recommend that you do a real good think about which army you want to collect

Started on the first part of my Golden Demon entry over the weekend (I'm doing a Diorama, and this is the first and probably largest part of it). The head isn't glued on yet, hence the finger, and there's a massive pair of wings to attach still

does anyone have plans to make there characters

plush swift
#

I haven't looked into shit in forever, you can still make your own made up chapters, orders and Regiments right?

#

I used to be turned off because I don't like recreating an existing thing, always preferred making up my own units

narrow ice
#

Very relatable, same reason i generally hate using named characters

plush swift
#

Like I have a sister's of battle squad I need to do, it's gonna be my own Made up successor order or whatever

#

Just haven't decided specifics, but I have the color palette

Orders for Guard are a thing, they actually added more

nice one. did you use metallic or nnm colours for the gold?

queen salmon
#

Metallic: Iron warriors & leadbelcher sprayed as zenithal, a very liberal coat of sepia wash, black wash in the crevices and finaly silver as weathering & highlights.

plush swift
#

You can tell its a metallic paint through a weird way too, on the right waist armor thingy(left in picture), the weird circular dots are lens flares from the PW20 Mica, mica unlike real metal interacts with light is a fucky way, which is why its also used in a lot of color change paint

My friend warned me they bring tanks to a fight. Is this too many Melta's?hmmm

#

Also another friend said she is scared of Warsuits so I made an army JUST to annoy her

median thistle
#

Well if you have enough melta then you’ll eventually have enough to kill hordes with 😂

grand marten

😛

#

I feel the balance may be off! Will find out shortly woke

median thistle

What are they playing then lol

Well tanks aren't going to be a problem

Today I'm playing against Imperial guard (hopefully new codex is not too bad)

# grand marten These two so far!

So, just a slight idea perhaps, what about taking a battle cannon on the castigator and leaving the war suits with their heavy bolters perhaps?

#

It seems that you have lots of anti tank, but lose out on a bit of anti infantry

#

Outside of the large tank hordes, (That only a few factions can really field) for 1000 points You may only come across a single vehicle. and the battle cannon offers you longer range anti tank, rather than having to run up to within melta range

i recommend cyanoacrylate superglue. works way better in my experience.

Im working on diving themed forgeworld and this guy is the concept for my Titans <titanfall> dunecrawler standins

#

just figuring out if it works and how it works

The key is lots of surplus plates and dremel work

#

if you fit it on a 100mm base you can run it as a knight arminger btw

#

admech actually has good syngery with knights because they can actually heal them

The kit is comprised of; A thanatar battle automata, a fuckton of plates from 8 different vehicles, a few tau weapons for the main gun, greenstuff, sensors from 12 different vehicles, space marine vehicle engines and a tau battlesuit jet pack piece for the jump units
tank tracks, gun mantles, vision ports, antennae, admech radar items

#

i dont find it hard to paint somethign and make it look good
the hard part is to paint 40+ minis in as quick a time as possible so you can make it to the tournament next weekend without having them look like you dipped them in a wall-paint canister

plush swift
#

thats honestly easy, just buy an airbrush and lower your standards

#

Y'all just made me way more proud of myself

cosmic mulch
#

thats what i mean ... if i got like a whole month for a single mini i can make it look amazing too

plush swift
#

lol one month

cosmic mulch
#

you know what i mean xD

vale pollen
#

You should try paintin on some extra stuff in the armor, give it some personality

plush swift
#

My knight army will take around 1000 hours per knight

cosmic mulch
#

theres like whole techniques to speed painting full armys and shit while still making it look good quality

plush swift
cosmic mulch
#

i personally am more of the "sit down and paint a single mini start to finish" guy though

plush swift
#

the more layers of a transparent paint you use, the darker it gets so you can get pseudo shading and highlights with them

cosmic mulch
#

but thats because i usually paint for the act of painting instead of painting to have a painted mini i can do the tabletop with

plush swift
#

thats the best way

cosmic mulch
#

which is still one of the endgoals dont get me wrong xD

plush swift
#

art is a journey with a goal at the end, but the enjoyment is the journey itself

cosmic mulch
#

that way each mini i paint has more of character aswell i feel

#

can i also share a heartfelt moment that will make real men cry?

plush swift
#

Sure but Im not a real man

cosmic mulch
#

i lost my whole Drukhari army cuz my aunt didnt know how valuable it was

#

its gone in the wind now

plush swift
#

did she just think it was toys and threw it out?

cosmic mulch
#

lost in the warp

#

pretty much

#

i think she gave it away to some hobby shop or such

plush swift
#

i hate those people, its why I sued my parents

#

they threw away my MTG collection, which had 5 complete power nine sets

cosmic mulch
#

i mean she knew that it was somewhat valueable in monetary terms ... but not by just how much 😛

plush swift
#

Why would someone give something to a business for free?

cosmic mulch
#

thats why she didnt just threw it away but kind of "donated" it i think

#

and honestly if it wouldve been anything else of mine i wouldve totally been fine with it

#

thats why i think she could jsut do that

#

not a buisness

#

more like a club

plush swift
#

Weird

#

We dont have those near me

#

the hobby clubs all banned 40k and D&D for being too violent

#

also they are all in the basement of a mormon church. this is the closest we have

cosmic mulch
#

i dont know exactly what she gave it to ... but from what i understood its some sort of club that does like games (gamenights etc or something along those lines) for kids and shit

#

i dont even know if thse guys understood what they gained with that xD

#

what they got handed by her

plush swift
#

how many points?

cosmic mulch
#

like around 800

plush swift
#

I was thinking it was a full army

#

like 12k

cosmic mulch
#

my bad

#

1800

plush swift
#

thats worse

cosmic mulch
#

was working toward the 2k

plush swift
#

thats almost a tournament army

cosmic mulch
#

i know

plush swift
#

oof

#

I hope she felt bad after

#

because I would have

cosmic mulch
#

to be fair she did

plush swift
#

lets just hope you arent australian

cosmic mulch
#

luckily i aint xD

#

i heard your guys prices are ridiculous

plush swift
#

Im not australian

#

thankfully

cosmic mulch
#

fair enough

plush swift
#

but they are

cosmic mulch
#

im contemplating to start a new army now though

plush swift
#

which army

cosmic mulch
#

my wallet is already crying by the thought of it

#

dunno yet

#

i havent played for almost 10years

#

i just recently bought a couple primaris to get back into painting minis

#

but now i'm feeling the urge to play again aswell

plush swift
#

its changed a lot

#

I tried getting into it like 15 years ago but was hyper poor at the time

cosmic mulch
#

i never really gave much about fotm either though

#

if i start playing again im just gonna do it for fun and pick an army that i like to both play and paint aswell

plush swift
#

im sort of waiting until 10th to know if I should build the indomitus boxes I have

#

9th was annoying and not the game I was first interested in

cosmic mulch
#

im definetly gonna get at least one leagues of votann box

#

just for painting them atleast

plush swift
#

I almost did that myself

#

i decided against it

cosmic mulch
#

im a huge sucker for dwarves though xD

#

not sure if i like the new "squat" lore yet

#

probably gotta wait for someone to write a good book about them

plush swift
#

that probably wont happen honestly

#

but lets hope they do

cosmic mulch
#

i mean ... its a fresh release

#

i wouldnt be surprised if BL at least tries to get one of their authors to do a leagues of votann book now

#

would be a waste if they didnt

#

the question is if its gonna be one of the "good" authors xD

plush swift
#

its not a xenos army so its more likely

#

"good" is a way to put it

#

I really dont think Dan Abnett is that great of an author, he just happens to make coherent stories which is a rarity

#

he has more hits than misses though at least

cosmic mulch
#

hes good at what he does in my opinion
dunno about his capabilites to stray out of "inquisitorial crime" or "guardsmen adventure" though

plush swift
#

Get Matt Ward to write LoV

#

He made trazyn so he would probably make some bizarre AI for them

cosmic mulch
#

good point

#

because i actually think the ancestor cores (or w/e they are called) are one of the more intriguing part about the LoV

#

maybe i should just write a LoV shortstory, try my luck and send it to BL

#

and then you poor souls are stuck with my incompetent ass as the go-to Leagues author of Black Library for eternity

plush swift
#

Send me the books for free

#

i'll review them

#

I too am a published author

#

not self published either

cosmic mulch
#

first off i would have to get my lazy ass up and actually sit down and write xD

#

do it

#

also paint your army

can i paint in the shower too? ^^

plush swift
#

technically yes

#

buy you'd need to use oil paints

#

or alkyds

rare hornet
# plush swift Thank youu

No worries, the only thing I’d suggest is like a tan coloured wash for the purity seal parchment on his leg

plush swift
#

Yeah that may work better than just white with a little wash

rare hornet
#

Yeah, you can experiment though and see what works for you

plush swift
#

you can also use PW6:1

#

I'll play around with it more. Just need to work up the nerve to do my full squad now

That is actually from the venerable dreadnought kit

novel jasper
#

you bought the venerable dreadnought

#

and but its head on an iron warrior

#

im confused

rare hornet
#

He comes with 3 helmet options

novel jasper
#

i mean fair enough

brisk vapor
#

pretty sure that type of helmet is included in the vanguard veteran kit as well

rare hornet
#

And you can give him a normal dreadnought front anyway

#

I don’t think the helmets look quite right on 40K dreads

#

I much prefer the HH ones for that

digital sparrow
#

and here is a girl I painted when I started the hobby

#

remaining as one of my favorite

#

I would have her as my Herald

Nothing puts the fear of god into you faster than having to drill bullet holes on your models

#

Okay guys I'm looking for someone to pop my cherry so be gentle.

#

What is a good kit to get if I want to start painting

digital sparrow
rare hornet
digital sparrow
#

or Necron

bleak vale
#

Didn't there used to be like a ultramarines army box with paint and like 4 or 5 figures?

digital sparrow
#

the point is, started with someone who wears a lot of armour

bleak vale
#

Was that what it was called?

digital sparrow
#

half Astarte half Necron

bleak vale
#

Isn't that like $150 though. I was looking for something cheaper but still beginner friendly

rare hornet
#

There’s a painting starter pack for much cheaper than that

#

It comes with 3 space marines and some basic paints

bleak vale
#

That's the one I was thinking of.

digital sparrow
#

I would recommend this pack:

#

then go buy the paint you want

#

but for one thing:

bleak vale
#

Okay so... Recommend me some paints

digital sparrow
#

Don't. Paint. Yellow.

bleak vale
#

I've heard Citadel is like high mid

#

I ain't touching yellow.

#

Blue or black base

#

Nice dark color so I can hide the mistakes

#

Yellow is my detail at best

edgy jackal
#

Do you have a local game store that sells other mini paint brands close to you, or are you comfortable ordering paint online?

bleak vale
#

I'll order some online. Most of the game stores around here focus on MTG or other TCGs or TTRPGs

digital sparrow
#

or Warhammer painting?

edgy jackal
#

Citadel colour

digital sparrow
#

yeah

bleak vale
#

I'm really just looking to get good at mini painting and then just paint up a bunch of armies and other minis.

digital sparrow
#

or a Baneblade

bleak vale
#

I'd like to start smaller

digital sparrow
#

bigger ones are actually easier

edgy jackal
#

Lots of people swear by vallejo (I haven't dived too deep into it), army painter is cheaper and has some good washes, and citadel is most convenient for a lot of people who have a GW store closer to them than a generic hobby store.

digital sparrow
#

but Primaris Intercessors always a good start if you like smaller kit

bleak vale
#

Well I bought the Dark Souls board game awhile ago and was like "I am gonna paint these!" and then never did because I wanted them to look.. Good

#

So I told myself when I get some extra money I'd learn how to paint. Now I have some extra scratch

digital sparrow
#

buy some Death Guard

bleak vale
#

Actually a good idea

digital sparrow
#

no one can mess up the Death Guards

#

unless you paint them pink

edgy jackal
#

Citadel is also more accessible because of the amount of support it gets from their youtube channel and app.

edgy jackal
bleak vale
#

Also nurgle is my favorite... So Yeah you convinced me

bleak vale
#

Ew. Why so bright!

digital sparrow
#

GW.

bleak vale
#

Right.

#

I like the bone effects though

digital sparrow
#

well, have fun XD

#

Nurgle marines are pretty fun really

#

since you don't have to be clean about them

brisk vapor
#

just a heads up, this saturday the chirstmas boxes go on pre-order and they have some great value in them

#

death guard among them

bleak vale
#

Oooh! I'll wait til saturday!

#

In that case lets talk tools

bleak vale
#

What kind of brushes should I look for?

brisk vapor
bleak vale
#

omg it's him

#

It's morty

digital sparrow
#

but any brush you find in your local art store may work though

#

you also need plastic glue

brisk vapor
#

and nippers and a hobby knife

digital sparrow
#

and green stuffs

patent brook
#

I use hobby lobby throw aways for the batch stuff. Armypainter makes a few affordable brush kits I use though as well

rare hornet
#

A brush-on glue can be invaluable for smaller models

digital sparrow
brisk vapor
#

yeah I highly recommend Tamiya's extra thin cement

#

I'd say green stuff isn't really mandatory

bleak vale
#

I've heard of like a stick to put your minis on while painting. Is that just a weird thing or is it common or even helpful?

brisk vapor
#

it can help

grand estuary
steep pond
#

I am a diorama maker (I dont typically use GW models)
If I wanted to make a Darktide themed Diorama with the 4 different classes would it be easier to just 3D print 40k-like models or do they sell single guardsman, Ogryn, etc?

brisk vapor
#

people mostly use cork and steel wire glued to the feet of the model for example

rare hornet
#

You can get away without one. Just means you don’t have to touch the model while painting

digital sparrow
#

with some Blu-Tack at the top

rare hornet
bleak vale
#

I have plenty of beer bottles.

digital sparrow
#

so you don't have to buy that stupidly expensive GW handle

brisk vapor
#

I use one of those painting handles GW makes and a plenty of old timey hexagonal GW paint pots

#

as painting handles that is

digital sparrow
#

people sometimes selling single models

steep pond
#

That's a good idea!

compact umbra

Oh hey the bottom one reminds me of that guy who caused the hive cult genestealer cult

bleak vale
#

ol three arms?

compact umbra
#

The guy who brought the genestealer to the hive world

#

He had a dumb name uhhhh

bleak vale
#

No idea who that is. I just remember a 3 armed dude

#

Who like convinced a bunch of workers to do something for the cult for some reason

#

Really all I remember is three arms

digital sparrow
#

look, a walking wedding cake

compact umbra
#

Xenotzar!!!

#

That’s his name

bleak vale
#

omg

#

xenotzar

#

That's such a dumb name. lol

compact umbra
#

He brought ‘the first father’ to the hive world

#

Ikr

#

He was a rich guy who collected alien animals

#

And wanted to win the war going on with in the hive word

#

So he bought a genestealer and let it free

bleak vale
#

Wait. This man who brought xenos to the hive world wanted to be a tzar of it?

#

hmm

compact umbra
bleak vale
#

I wonder where they got that name

digital sparrow
#

Xeno-tzar is a title

bleak vale
#

Okay that makes so much more sense. lol

Warhammer 40k Wiki

New Gidlam is an Imperial Hive World located on the outskirts of the Segmentum Solar. It is dominated by thirteen vast hive cities, twelve of which came under the control of the Genestealer Cult known as the Hivecult. Only the thirteenth, Hive Tharanex, remained free of the infestation, though it was under constant assault from the Genestealer C...

#

the lore

compact umbra
#

Yee

#

I don’t know if he died or no t

#

But if you wanna run him you can total use that new necromunda model and give him a gsc head

#

And run him as who ever

bleak vale
#

Was he all about art and was trying to do something with rememberancers?

compact umbra
#

No he just liked collecting xeno animals

bleak vale
#

That's not very Dionysus like at all!

#

Though he was a god of insanity...

#

Anyway, thanks for all the recommends and help guys! I gotta get some sleepies in. Ill come back when I get a box and start painting... If Im not too busy defending Atoma Prime that is.

Also tip for painting yellows:
Most yellows are transparent, the fillers hobby paint uses makes them really bad because they arent very strong pigments, the best being benzimidazolone.
Non-transparent yellows are yellow iron oxide, Nickel antimony, bismuth vanadate, cadmium, these will make it easier to use.

Just use cadmium, its safe. There isnt enough soluable cadmium in cadmium paints for there to be a toxicity issue. Just dont airbrush it.
Dont want to use cadmium? Just buy yellows from a high end artist grade brand. It'll cost a little more upfront, but thats it. the bottles are bigger

digital sparrow
#

use gold instead

I'm guessing tamiya is good?

#

its just acetone and n-butyl acetate so its fine

#

its just the easiest glue to use without leaving glue marks everywhere

median thistle
#

I started using the tamiya stuff recently

#

its been really nice to use

plush swift
#

Yeah I've been having problems with superglue so I wanted to get away from it

median thistle
#

superglue is only really needed for resin

#

or something that might need a stronger bond

plush swift
#

superglue is a weaker bond technically

median thistle
#

yeah I suppose thats true

#

cuz it doesnt meld

plush swift
#

exacty

median thistle
#

or whatever the term is

plush swift
#

meld is good enough of a term

median thistle
#

I used to use the revel stuff

#

and I gotta admit the tamiya glue has grown on me

plush swift
#

revel stuff is I believe pure butyl acetate

#

so cut it with acetone, you have tamiya extra thin

slender zodiac
plush swift
#

also the tamiya airbrush cleaner is the same as the tamiya extra thin

#

so cheaper refills

the trans flag uses quinacridone magenta(pr122), titanium white (pw6) and phthalo cyan(pb15:4) as its basis, you can use those for increased visual flare

#

since both PR122 and PB15:4 are transparent you can build up layers to get more accurate shading

Ima side with the furry here on this one
Thats actually really good and shows tallent to pull it off
I would normally despise a controversial topic being represented (fielded) in game (I.e you painted kreigers as Nazis or tau as communist or any other subject)
But it looks harmless enough no not make me hate it

plush swift
#

PB60 and things like that are pigment codes, P = Pigment next letter(s) is the color ie B = Blue, R = Red, Br= Brown, the number is when it was added to the list(not when it was invented as you have things like PR101 being synthetic iron oxide and PR102 being natural iron oxide which you know... came first... Or the fact one of the first red pigments is vermillion and thats PR106)

keep the old dark angels but repaint them

so instead of 2 2000 point armies, you have 1 4000 point army

you just need a a crystal file and some sand paper
