Ooo yes

[dry torrent]

For transport my karskin

[rare hornet]

What would be cool to see someone do is the DDay stripes on a green Valk

[dry torrent]

DDay?

[rare hornet]

Hold on let me find you a picture

The black and white stripes

Called that as they was used by the allies on DDay so AA gunners could identify friendly planes from captured ones

[dry torrent]

Ah this

[rare thicket]

Nasty bois

[dry torrent]

I really finish my valkiry NOW lol

[edgy mulch]

This is the last model I painted. What are everyone's thoughts?

[edgy mulch]

That looks, great. I still have a Valkiry in the box still LOL.

[dry torrent]

I warn you it's quite long to build lol

[edgy mulch]

Don't i know it, I've already had to build this monstrosity

[dry torrent]

Perfect Nevers enougth valkiry

[dry torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/valkyrie-warhammer40k-warhammer40000-imperial-guard-astra-militarum-gif-19115442

I need other Valkiry

For take on 20 karskin

[edgy mulch]

I need to build my Leman Russ tank, cause you can't have a guard army without them.

[atomic rose]

Looks good. But that mold line on the right leg. 😭

[dry torrent]

I creat mecanizum army so i dont need leman russ lol

[edgy mulch]

Ah, i just noticed that. Oh well, it is what it is. On the table top with 80 other guardsmen, it'll look quite great.

[edgy mulch]

What you speak of is heresy.

[dry torrent]

No like that lol

[atomic rose]

It's all right. At first I thought it's a seam on the pants, before I noticed it continues on the boot.

[dry torrent]

Mecanizum like infantry on chimera and valkiry

[edgy mulch]

I already spend way to much time on each individual guardsmen as it is (like 3 hours per model) so a mold line like that doesn't bother me much.

But I'll do a better job at covering them on future models.

[dry torrent]

I take
-leontus
-ursula
-1 commande squad cadian whit bodyguard
-6 bullgryn
-40 cadian guard
-20 karskin
-3 heavy sentry
-4 chimera
-2 valkiry
-1 commisar

[edgy mulch]

Ah i see. I usually only take one chimara

[prime scarab]

At long last. My warband

[edgy mulch]

3 lemans, 2 mantacors, and a hellhound

[dry torrent]

Whit the new codex you can do anything is so cool

[edgy mulch]

but as of the new codex, i might change that up

[dry torrent]

And everything is good

[edgy mulch]

I can't wait to finish my army, saddly is Astra, so it'll be a while.

[dry torrent]

For me and the seller on my gameworkshop is the most versatil codex of all Time

Is good and strong

And the guard need him

[edgy mulch]

I hope Astra doesn't lose the exception to the no line of sight rule for their artillery pieces.

[dry torrent]

No is already here

Like contemptor armor

[edgy mulch]

I heard that they're changing some rules around with the next warzone update

[dry torrent]

Or things like this is just dont write but is on warhamer community rule

[rare hornet]

We need to bring back scatter

[dry torrent]

Scatter ?

[edgy mulch]

GW also mentioned how the y don't recommend playing new Guard codex in tournaments

[dry torrent]

I play whit new codex and absoluty nothing win against me 😂

[rare hornet]

Roll a dice with an arrow and you a number of D6s and that’s how many inches you move the template of the artillery

[dry torrent]

Ahhh

[rare hornet]

The good old days

Well technically the good current days thanks to Horus heresy

[dry torrent]

I think but many things in new guard win big buff

Like the hydra

Now is like versatil 4 autocanon tank for everything lol

And is very powerfull against anti grav things

Si eldar and sm good bay

[edgy mulch]

I can't wait to use my Chimera now that its turret can hit on +3

[dry torrent]

EVERY turret of EVERY tank win that

So its very very cool

[edgy mulch]

I love that so much

[dry torrent]

And the multi laser win more powerfull power

[edgy mulch]

Also Lasguns can get ap now through orders

[dry torrent]

Whit ursula boost you have guard whit bolter 😂

[pastel grotto]

Hello do you want to talk about our lord and saviour the emperor of mankind

[edgy mulch]

Question, how does the new First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire Work? Cause I noticed it changes it to a Heavy 3

[dry torrent]

And if you take doctrine that gives +1 aiming and +1 armor penetration even simple guards become ultra strong

[edgy mulch]

Sick Guard army man.

[prime scarab]

Why yes, and while you at it, lemme share the love of our Grandfather. He made cyst cupcakes and pus flavored tea. @pastel grotto

[dry torrent]

The new doctrine is very very very good

[pastel grotto]

Only if you say hi to my grandfather too

He's just got the cold don't worry

I find Nurgle Daemons less exciting compared to Nurgle mortal armies

[dry torrent]

I prefer that

[edgy mulch]

This is my Tempestus Scion squad

[dry torrent]

Is look royal

[pastel grotto]

I also can't wait for the new guard box

[dry torrent]

You dont have ?

[pastel grotto]

Oh lord

[prime scarab]

Oh dear lord

I just checked inventory

[pastel grotto]

Let me just get my anti scions

[prime scarab]

There's one model missing from the order.

A Plaguecaster. T_T

[dry torrent]

Nobody can anti scions

Because scion is anti everything

[prime scarab]

I suppose I can use the Herald that went with my FW Daemon prince to act as Plaguecaster

[pastel grotto]

Doubt.

[dry torrent]

[edgy mulch]

How do you get your tank to look so good?

[pastel grotto]

On the contrary, Mr bond

[edgy mulch]

Wait till I build and paint my Leman Russ Battle Tank, then we'll see who gets the last laugh.

[dry torrent]

One krak grenad in the canon and you big boy blow up like nothing

there's no point in doing too much when it's already enough

[edgy mulch]

An excellent response.

[pastel grotto]

This is why I hate Custodes

Just use space marines

[dry torrent]

[edgy mulch]

I also have these Kriegsmen I got off of Etsy.

I got them before GW made the official models.

The grey look strange no ?

[prime crescent]

I've got the Imperial Knight version of that terrain piece, the Sacristan Forgeshrine.

[waxen gull]

Found these in the loft earlier while getting the Xmas decs out.

[prime crescent]

Oh now there's a nice piece of history.

[waxen gull]

must have painted these 20ish years ago when they first released (2001 I think?) ran a campaign in my uni gaming group as well.

been living in a case for a long time. I think I have the Adeptus Mechanicus priest and maybe an arco-flagellant somewhere in the loft as well

[sinful crane]

I've been dreaming of getting an Ork Stompa. It's the only thing left i have missing from DA ORKZ

[rare hornet]

Hey I got one!

No built admittedly

But it’s there

[sinful crane]

At this point i'll take bodyparts as well. I'll build the damn thing myself if need be

[rare hornet]

The kit it actually decently priced

Compared to knights that is

Better value than either of the two naughts

[sinful crane]

Orks usually are rather cheaper than the other armies which is just fine by me since they're my favorite anyways

[rare hornet]

They are fun

Shame GW doesn’t love them

[lavish crescent]

Save the money, get the plastic kits if you wanna get a lot of krieg

[rare hornet]

Going off the idea of a generic ork army. So no particular klan colour

[timber pine]

sooon

[rare hornet]

Stomp

[timber pine]

i just need 1 more pack of warglaives and 2 packs of helverins then get myself a valiant to be the big boss

[rare hornet]

Must be a faf to paint

[timber pine]

not looking forwrd to it

those warglaives been primed for 2 years

[rare hornet]

Yeah I know that feeling

[lavish crescent]

Ooooo

[rare hornet]

The lizard men

[lavish crescent]

They look good

Sadly ain’t doing salamanders, yet

Simple beaky helmet and job done

Maybe less detail would look better

Nope, it’s definitely his face that puts me off

[slender mantle]

that fringe is not very tactical raven man

[lavish crescent]

Going off your pfp, you a space wolf player?

Iron Warriors

And Black Templar, although they’re on hold right now

You use Corax white or celestial?

https://tenor.com/view/umm-um-ummm-ummok-puppet-gif-17038634

I might have a very big 40k pile of shame. Got a massive job lot

[rare hornet]

To be fair, Iron Warriors are fun to make

[lavish crescent]

You ain’t wrong, custodes are fun too

[brisk vapor]

I've ordered the Death Guard one to fill in my pile

[lavish crescent]

My golden boys are oiled and ready to fight

[rare hornet]

I’m trying to add little details to each marine, only like a few bullet impacts and such

[lavish crescent]

How many models do you need to do???

[rare hornet]

At the moment just 20 marines

[lavish crescent]

[rare hornet]

I have 50 in all

[lavish crescent]

See you in 30 months

[rare hornet]

15 Cataphractii terminators and a Spartan

[lavish crescent]

Ohhh you got the AOD set?

[rare hornet]

Yes split two of them between me and a friend

[left egret]

Am about to paint my first models tomorrow

[lavish crescent]

Oooo

[rare hornet]

It’s a great box set

[lavish crescent]

What you painting?

[lavish crescent]

Agreed, value for its money!

[left egret]

IW legionaries

[rare hornet]

HH ones or chaos?

[left egret]

Chaos got a big pile of sham that needs sorting. Getting a bit of experience before painting my beloved Daemonsmith (Lord discordant kitbash I posted a while ago)

[rare hornet]

Ooo fair enough

[left egret]

Can't find the mk 3 HH legionaries in my nerdstore... Iceland only has one... and I am too lazy to order

[rare hornet]

Yeah that’s fair enough

I have an old Mark III set so I’m pinching stuff out of that for some small kitbashing

[left egret]

Also chaos legionaries look good

[rare hornet]

This is sort of the thing I’m making

[left egret]

Would really like to by the MK 3s just for the torso

[left egret]

Ooo awesome

[rare hornet]

Hazard stripes are certainly interesting to paint by hand

[elfin rune]

I've got two of the HH boxes sitting and waiting for attention lol

In my thesis year so they've been getting neglected. Just feels so nice to have HH plastic now.

[rare hornet]

Exactly

Plan to build 30 Mark VI tacticals, keep 20 for Iron Havocs and then get 20 Mark III marines to fill out the last tactical squads

This is for a 3000 point army I should clarify

I look forward to the Spartan as there is a lot of opportunities there for extra details

[brisk vapor]

the spartan was a fun kit to work with

[rare hornet]

What legion you playing?

[rare hornet]

I’ve heard it takes a while

[brisk vapor]

It took me around a week I think

[rare hornet]

Not too bad then

Longest project I did took 3 😅

[brisk vapor]

Airbrush helped a lot though

[rare hornet]

Yeah I got a spray can ready

[brisk vapor]

got all the base colours done in two days

[pastel grotto]

This is yes

[elfin rune]

Alpha legion, me and my bf had a bunch of FW, old betrayal at calth boxset, and the new ones. So we've decided to make a massive combined army. I've not played any 40k or HH since like 2015 so its mostly display at this point until I find a decent place that isn't GW.

[rare hornet]

Oh alpha legion? That’s one I don’t hear often

[elfin rune]

It took like 20 different attemps to get the armour colour right lol

Went with a medium silver, with forced shadows using a dark silver, and highlights with a super bright gunmetal. Then used different shades of blue and green ink to get a sort of pearlescent blue.

[rare hornet]

Sounds fiddly

Kinda glad how simple IW actually are

[elfin rune]

The airbrush really speeds it up to be honest. Managed to get like 100 marines done in a day. Just need to do the guns, cables, pouches and bases but they've been neglected

[brisk vapor]

I'd love to do IW but I hate metallic paints

[rare hornet]

They are a bit notorious I’ll admit

[rare hornet]

100 in a day? It takes me 2 days to do a marine

[elfin rune]

Its just the armour colour to be fair. Its going to take me months to do everything else.

[rare hornet]

Ah fair enough

[elfin rune]

Probably an hour or two per marine for doing all the detail work.

Which needless to say I am dreading lol

[rare hornet]

Honestly. Wish it only took me an hour or two

[brisk vapor]

I've really neglected my SoH now that our friend group got the Cursed City boxset and I got quite a few models from it on my shoulders

[rare hornet]

I’ve vowed to not buy more models until my pile is smaller

Which doesn’t help with Christmas turning up

[elfin rune]

I keep saying that... but I keep finding stuff on Ebay for cheap.

Current knight is a rescue who's just out of a bath of isopropyl alcohol

[brisk vapor]

I like to have options to work with, I almost burnt out pretty bad with my 6k of ultramarines without anything in between

now I have GSC, Tyranids, Sons of Horus, Chaos Knights, unstarted Necrons and some other stuff

[elfin rune]

For real though, I was getting sick of seeing space marines for a bit so thats why I've moved onto painting some Orks and Knights. Its way lower effort painting large stuff

[rare hornet]

Having multiple projects really helps prevent burn out

[brisk vapor]

ye

[elfin rune]

Have any of you got the chaos knight box set that was released a while back? I managed to snag it second hand and still in the wrapper.

[brisk vapor]

I have it

[elfin rune]

Ayy

[brisk vapor]

painted the big dude and have one of the smaller dudes primed

[elfin rune]

I really need to bumrush through it and try and get a game. I'm still running off 6th edition rules in my head

[rare hornet]

I’m so happy about the HH rules, so much more balance than 9th

[brisk vapor]

The rules for them are quite fun, although I've not played with them nor did I even buy it with games in my mind

[elfin rune]

Legit, it feels closer to like oldhammer. It made a lot more sense reading the books

[rare hornet]

Yeah, what also helps is that everyone gets the same stuff

[elfin rune]

Armour values and line of sight on vehicles my beloved

I missed them so much

[rare hornet]

Same, now we have whatever this mess is

[elfin rune]

I feel like they've made the game more accessible and less accessible at the same time... there's a lot more competitiveness in a lot of things I feel. Even friendly games are super aggro

[brisk vapor]

honestly I like 9th, just the secondary objectives are too important for you success and they either brake or make your list

[elfin rune]

My pal complains that the local GW is just the newest army with the most broken units all of the time

[rare hornet]

Yeah, there is plenty of rules which seem like it’s about screwing over the enemy

I think someone called them ‘feels bad rules’

[elfin rune]

I miss the narrative side of things for real. Having a bit of fun with things

[rare hornet]

I saw an official HH mission which was specifically ultramarines vs World Eaters, for the first turn ultramarines had to make a leadership test to be able to make an attack against World Eaters

[elfin rune]

Its why I'm looking forward to HH. Its mostly lore nerds who will want to chat about the books and stuff while gaming

[rare hornet]

Exactly, me and a friend both have armies and we’re decorating bases with marines from the other army

[elfin rune]

Thats mint! 🙂

[rare hornet]

There was a campaign I saw where it was all about multiple legions. But at any point the legion player could declare that they changed from loyalist to traitor or vice versa.

If this happened the person who was now in a 1v3 had to just have a single model alive at the end of the battle to win

The catch was that when you declared your allegiance, you could no longer change from that

[left egret]

I wish iron havocs had a model in 40k 🥲

[rare hornet]

To be fair they’re legacy models for HH. I’m just going to make a custom heavy weapon team for them and call it a day

[left egret]

Termies with missile launchers on their backs would be so much fun

[rare hornet]

Good old tyrant launcher

[left egret]

I swore I wouldn't buy more models... but world eaters are just around the corner. And even though GW massacred my boys, my heart beats crimson and brass

[rare hornet]

I’ve not seen them

What they do?

[left egret]

We... we don't get Caedere or red butchers for thr new codex... we get a melee cultist unit called Jhakald and an elite something called an eight bound and an exalted eightbound... 8bs get 3-6 models in a unit and exalted ones only get 3

[rare hornet]

Sounds weird

[left egret]

We got a juggernaut lord (normal and 8bound version) and the new khorne berzerkers

Angron and that's all the new shit we get

8 bound are basically just possessed who ate possessed by 8 bloodletters

The exalted version is the rare case the marine triumphs over all the daemons and merges with them

But I want my red butchers. Not the normal terminators

I want destroyers and I want at least 1 unique daemon engin 🥲

Look at this list (GW has already confirmed the units listed but I don't know about the points)

It short

So yeah looks like IW will be my main army

Fuck... the image is bad

It's on spikey bits anyway but not gonna link it

[rare hornet]

Fair enough

IW get very little unique stuff

They’re a chaos undivided army so just generic marines really

[lavish crescent]

Pert is no one’s bitch you mean?

[rare hornet]

Well he did beat up daemon Angron

[left egret]

Nucerian bastards. Butting the nails in angrons skull. He would have been perfectly functional without them

[green cave]

He beated up quite a lot of other demon primarchs i think... He clashed with fulgrim too iirc, and mortarion too

He is also the only one that is trying to actually get his own empire iirc

[left egret]

I think he is the reason why Fulgrim became a daemon primarch. Beat the human out of him

That or I read it wrong

[green cave]

Nah, he actually tried to help fulgrim, but got betrayed by the bastard, and that is why Pert lost a part of his soul iirc

[left egret]

Damn

[rare hornet]

Perty saved Magnus however

[left egret]

I do like how he bashed fulgrims face into a 40k equivalent of a 30k model

[green cave]

Once you read more about Pert it is hard to be angry at him... That doesn't mean he is a paragon miind you, just that he is the result of his shitty upbringing and also by he being among people not as smart as him...

[green cave]

Oh yeah, that is one of the best thing he ever made imo...

[left egret]

Oh he certainly is a petulant manchild but you love him for it

[brisk vapor]

Perty is one of the better Primarch characters

[left egret]

That and effectively saying god is cringe to a bunch of priests on his home planet

[green cave]

Indeed, and the best part about this is that it require a brain to really understand him

Not like Angron or lorgar or any other honestly

[left egret]

Perty is a very broken and flawed character. And that's what I like about him

[ivory field]

Sorry if I’m interrupting a conversation, but I’d like to show off my recently completed Water Guild:

[rare hornet]

He’s no angel in any way. But he’s probably one of the most dangerous primarchs

[brisk vapor]

lovely

[green cave]

Sweet

[left egret]

And if you look at his life's work I would argue he is Guillimans mirror. Seeing how he is an empire builder, but unlike guilliman he builds with tyranny

[green cave]

Really like what seems a deep red

[left egret]

Lovd your water guild dudes

[rare hornet]

Perturabo was by far the most absolute primarch

While the others were off gallivanting and becoming daemons he was getting stuff done

[left egret]

He literally carried the heresy

[jagged sparrow]

Peter turbo had a monologue calling god cringe

[left egret]

Only to ragequit on terra because nobody was following orders

[green cave]

And he was absolutely right

[jagged sparrow]

Magnus did nothing wrong

[rare hornet]

Everyone bashes him for being unfeeling and a bland character etc. he was a master and ruthless tactician but he was incredibly efficient

[green cave]

I don't like to say he ragequitted, in fact he completed all his objectives... Which were to breach the imperial palace, he never wanted to confront the emperor, he wanted to show that dorn was not the best builder, nor sieger

[left egret]

Also true

[green cave]

Once he completed his tasks he left because it was a lost fight anyway, and he knew that

Other loyalist were on route, and even if the won they would have had to face the wrath of those, in battered state as they were already

[rare hornet]

I would argue that he is in an interesting place. He hates the imperium for driving him to this path of chaos. But he hates chaos for lying to him with false promises

[left egret]

If the soldiers can't follow orders then there is no way to win essentially

[jagged sparrow]

He had khorne on the front lines. No one was following any orders

It turned into basically throw your soldiers at the enemy and hope they do something

[left egret]

Similar to angron actually. He hates the imperium for being a bunch of high riders and he hates chaos because he is a slave to it

[left egret]

I mean yeah... but the world eaters are really good at doing something when it comes to killing

[rare hornet]

It was interesting when he first found that his strength had its limits

[jagged sparrow]

True. But you tend to lose soldiers fast when they are charging in a blind rage toward an entrenched enemy

[left egret]

Aye

[jagged sparrow]

And the blood angels all going black rage crazy didn’t help them

[rare hornet]

Originally he made a deal with khorne with the idea that the world eaters would be unstoppable, but Perturabo found their flaw and exploited it showing Angron the lies he had been sold

[left egret]

Still have a sweet spot for my angy bois

I mean Angron become a daemon because lorgar though. So he had little choice in that

[rare hornet]

He destroyed a psychic sextant to protect Magnus from what he was getting himself into

[jagged sparrow]

In conclusion. Fuck Erebus

[left egret]

YES

He killed my boys Argel Tal and Raum 😭

[indigo schooner]

This is the first ever message I see in this channel and quite frankly I don't need to see anything else

[jagged sparrow]

It says all that needs to be said

[rare hornet]

I think both the thousand sons and Iron warriors are more of the interesting falls to chaos. As both of them were victims of circumstances and came to the conclusion that the imperium would brand them as traitors anyway

[left egret]

I am pretty sure Erebus is singlehandedly the fault for the heresy failing... and happening but that is undisputed

[jagged sparrow]

Erebus is just a rat all around

[rare hornet]

I think it’s actually sweet that Perty tried to protect his brother Magnus and came to his aid as seen in the scene from master of Prospero

[left egret]

Yeah. The two of them were friends if I remember correctly.
Out of all the primarchs I think he was only friends with ferrus manus and Magnus

[rare hornet]

I know he got along with manus, although to what extent I’m not too sure

[left egret]

But magnus was almost everyone's friend

Almost... except with those who were. Magic bad

So half the primarchs?

[rare hornet]

If I recall I think this is the point to where the thousand sons get reduced to dust and only the psychic remained. When Magnus collapsed after realising the mistake he made, he was told that Perturabo carried him back to safety and refused anyone else to take him

[left egret]

The dust was later and that was Ahriman fucking up

[rare hornet]

I don’t know an awful lot of thousand sons lore

[left egret]

The rubric of Ahriman. I only know that because I listened to the Ahriman novels

[rare hornet]

Tallarn was an interesting battle

The reason it ended was because Horus order Perturabo to leave and head to Terra

[left egret]

So we could have been rid of the desert raiders? (They still awesome if religious nuts)

[rare hornet]

Well I’m pretty sure having your planet glassed does that

Hydra Cordatus was a good example

The Iron warriors technically sieged it twice

Once during the heresy and once after

[left egret]

What was that campaign again?

[rare hornet]

The book is called Storm of Iron

And that covers the siege in the 41st millennium

I’m not sure if there is a book from the Horus heresy

It’s a great book to read if you want to get an idea into IW sieges

It does come with all that chaosy stuff in between also if you’re into that

[median thistle]

ooga booga

[rare hornet]

Excellent conclusion

[median thistle]

why thank you

[left egret]

Nice

[rare hornet]

I can tell you play ultramarines

[median thistle]

ha you fool that was a night lords tactic

[rare hornet]

Oh

[left egret]

Also if you were to use a gunmetal colour primer how would you base IW

[rare hornet]

Carry on Alpharius

[median thistle]

wash down the primer or overlay it with a darker metal colour so brighter metal colours are more distinct

[rare hornet]

Yeah any silver with a brown wash would work

[rare hornet]

I use Citadel IW base paint with a layer of Agrax over the top

I would suggest picking up a lighter silver also

[left egret]

So wash the primer before applying the base coat?

[rare hornet]

If you’re applying a base coat over a primer then no

You want the main silver to be dark so any other silvers are lighter

You can use that for reference

[left egret]

I have saved this image

[rare hornet]

Cool

A decent brown wash will be your best friend

[left egret]

Nuln oil?

[rare hornet]

The difference between washed and unwashed silver

[rare hornet]

Agrax is what I use

[left egret]

I think i own so will experiment

[rare hornet]

Make sure you keep the wash a thin layer

If it pools too much on the flat surfaces then you get a shiny look

[left egret]

Ah

Yeah a dirty metal look is preferable

[rare hornet]

Don’t worry. It’s pretty easy to work out if there’s too much

[left egret]

OK good that makes me less nervous

[rare hornet]

The best thing I’d suggest is just spreading the wash out as much as possible before putting the brush back in the pot for more

[left egret]

Solid advice

[rare hornet]

If it worries you that much grab an old test model and give it a practice

Something you’re not worried about

[left egret]

Is first model though

[rare hornet]

Ahhh I see

What’s the kit?

[left egret]

Kit? I think it's the old combat patrol

[rare hornet]

For chaos?

[left egret]

Yeah basic legionary with holding a single bolter

Less details to fuck up 😅

[rare hornet]

Fair enough

[left egret]

Already know I should thin thr paint to avoid old melt face ultramarine look

[rare hornet]

Well start with a single leg then try the wash over that

[left egret]

👍

Mind If I ask further questions tomorrow when I am painting? @rare hornet

[rare hornet]

Sure

[rare hornet]

No problems at all

[left egret]

Nice 👍 would help immensely

[rare hornet]

No worries

[daring ginkgo]

Death korp time

[rare hornet]

Yee!

[rare hornet]

Bolt pistol chainsword?!
You do us a service

[daring ginkgo]

Yes... the most violent combo for the most loyal troops

[pastel grotto]

There are other weapon choices?

Impossible

[rare hornet]

Plasma pistol power sword

[pastel grotto]

You will use the most visceral and metal weapons possible

"plasma" what is that, sounds girly

[rare hornet]

Which in killteam is just outright better,

It’s a shame

[pastel grotto]

"power sword" just use a chainsword it's allready got power

[daring ginkgo]

I have 50 kriegers in total for kill team. I have the other combos as well. I just Really like the look

[rare hornet]

The bolt pistol chain combo is an absolute classic. But game wise is completely overshadowed by the plasma and power

[pastel grotto]

Only 20 here

[rare hornet]

That’s because the rule of cool triumphs all else

[pastel grotto]

But you can see him on the left, Monsieur bolt chain

[daring ginkgo]

I feel the bolt pistol should have a longer range than the plasma. But i know why they all stop at 6

Maybe let it shoot past 6" , but past 6 its 1/2 attack dice

[pastel grotto]

Easy way to fix

Make plasma only supercharge. No low power mode.

So it's always a 1 to die instantly

No safe mode

[rare hornet]

That would be a decent trade

[pastel grotto]

So then plasma is for gamblers and bolt pistol is safer

[rare hornet]

It’s just a shame that the chain and bolt is just worse

[pastel grotto]

Chainsword should get 1 extra attack

Since your revving it

Vroom vroom

[rare hornet]

Vroom

[median thistle]

my chainsword bolt pistol krieg sergeant hasnt had a good lifetime

[daring ginkgo]

With the kasrkins they changed it to were each option isnt an individual choice. You get to choose bolt pistol; power sword, or plasma;chainsword

[rare hornet]

No if I recall his first outing ending with a bunch of bolt rounds to the face

[daring ginkgo]

I went plasma;chainsword

[pastel grotto]

This is why I'm gonna use a whole ass bolt gun on my next guy

[rare hornet]

That’s a better way for it

[pastel grotto]

If he gets into melee he's dead either way

His friend did eat a powerfist approximately 10 seconds before he died

[daring ginkgo]

I had my single kasrkin with the plasma pistol delete 3 intercessors in one game.

[rare hornet]

Spicy

Elite points are stupid powerful. Plus i was rolling like a god

Ill be painting my kasrkins next. Any suggestions?

Leman russes

[solemn oxide]

I once had a single termagaunt survivor hold up a unit of like 4-5 Screamers of Tzeentch like a boss from lucky dice rolls for about 2 turns. Think it even wounded one. Bought me enough time to deepstrike my monstrous creatures and turn the tide of battle. He got a promotion paintjob after that.

[median thistle]

I like that blue

[edgy mulch]

I chose the grey look cause I wanted them to look more like WW1 Germans.

[edgy mulch]

Damn, that looks so good.

[edgy mulch]

I will be buying the actual Plastic kits that they sell from now on, I just got these ones because when I first got into Warhammer the only Kriegsmen models were the forge world models, and they were both out of stock and cost $110 for 10 models. These Etsy Models I got for around $48 for all 10 models (I was even able to pick out which specific ones I wanted to get) I’ll be keeping and even using the Etsy Models since I’ve already have 20 models of them painted and ready for play.

[dry torrent]

And the plastic kit is better in game lol

So forgeworld suck

[edgy mulch]

You can trust me, they serve the God Emperor.

[dry torrent]

The only cool thing in forgeworld is the malcador and the macharius

But NOW whit the rogal dorn is not very usefull to have malcador and macharius

[edgy mulch]

Maybe if you really like those types of tanks you can still run them, especially if you’re more into rule of cool rather then playing the meta.

Old steel legion models are horrific to find

Guard is everytime pretty

[edgy mulch]

I have realized the mistake I’ve made. Still you have nothing to apologize about and your models look sick.

[median thistle]

I wouldve done guard by now but horus heresy and re making my dark angles stopped me

[dry torrent]

If you take the imperial guard you are good personne

If you dont take imperial guard you are heretic

Or stupid

[elfin rune]

I’m gonna grab some bulgryns to make some gas mask oggs. Just so they fit the vibe.

[edgy mulch]

This was the first Kriegsmen model I painted from the GW box set.

[dry torrent]

You want OGRYN LIKE THIS?

[edgy mulch]

Oh quick question, do you guys fully assemble the models and then paint or do you paint the models as separate pieces and then assemble them afterwards?

[edgy mulch]

I want my Ogryn to look like that.

[atomic rose]

Sub assembly. But I paint for display, not for game. 🙂

[dry torrent]

If i dont care about details i paint full and if i want details i paint no full

[elfin rune]

I leave the guns off usually, I’ve not played in years so it’s mostly for display here

[edgy mulch]

Hmm, I see, I usually do sub assembly myself, but I think I should stop doing that, at least for regular infantry units cause I’m spending way too much time with each one. (Like 3 hours per model)

[dry torrent]

I dont think is very usefull

Expect for very big models

Whit inside

[edgy mulch]

I just don’t like the aspect of unpainted areas behind places like the gun. I suppose I could paint them without the arms but everything else attached.

[dry torrent]

If you dont see you dont need to paint

[atomic rose]

Yeah, I get you. You might paint unassambled but leave the covered areas just plain color without shading and highlights. That way you probably get the best out of both worlds.

[edgy mulch]

True, I guess I’m just a little bit too critical on the detail.

[dry torrent]

Wtf is that

[atomic rose]

= Sad 😦

[dry torrent]

Looney ork ?

[edgy mulch]

Oh nice.

[atomic rose]

This is the finished model. Pretty much all the work on the front of the body just got lost.

[dry torrent]

Also, have fun hands guy. Feel free to add me fingers to your collection. 😅

[dry torrent]

I see heretic

[dry torrent]

I never want heretic art in my house

[atomic rose]

I paint pretty much anything I fancy. 😅

You happy now?

[dry torrent]

Ah i like what i m see

You are half heretic

@edgy mulch what do you have in you army ?

[edgy mulch]

Currently painted up I have 3 squads of Kriegsmen (20 models from Etsy and 10 from GW), a Chimera, a 10 man squad of Tempestus Scions, a Tempestus Scion Command Squad, an Astropath, A commissar, A Torrux Prime, and an Armored Sentinel.

[dry torrent]

You have PICTURE ?

[edgy mulch]

It’s not the best picture and it’s missing the GW Kriegsmen, but that pretty much where I’m at. I have quite a bit of unopened boxes, which are 2 Leman Russ tanks, an armored sentinel, a Valkyrie, a Manticor, a squad of Cadian Shock Troopers (not the new models 😔), and a Kill Team box with 10 models of Kriegsmen.

Oh and I also have Lord Castellen Creed. I’ll use him as a Company Commander.

And a Vindicare Assassin.

Smelly marines

[naive umbra]

Sprues washed, gonna start working on the Commander's base while they dry. So keen to get started!

[rare hornet]

You’re going to try and fit all that onto one base?

[edgy jackal]

Now that you say it, it's quite logical to wash the sprues, but I've never done it. I'll be sure to do it in the future

[prime scarab]

Over 2k plus points of Death Guard.

[rare hornet]

I’m always curious on why the deathguard is so popular? Is it like they’re the best on the tabletop or is it a lore thing?

I always just seem to see them a lot

[bold robin]

I have just always loved Nurgle

[rare hornet]

Yeah fair enough

[naive umbra]

Oh nah, that's 2 boxes of fire warriors plus Tau Commander, didn't bother washing the 20 small bases, figure it's not super necessary for them

What I meant was I'm gonna start decorating the commander base while the rest of this dries

[rare hornet]

Aww, so no Tau human pyramid team building exercise?

[naive umbra]

I may consider it after I have a force to be awed by the beauty of it

[rare hornet]

Excellent

[naive umbra]

I saw people in videos washing pieces individually and was like ain't nobody got time fo dat

I'm not even convinced the washing is super necessary, but the instructions said wash so I wash

[rare hornet]

What is the benefit of washing the plastic anyway

[naive umbra]

Supposedly to get any residual chemicals from the moulding process off

[rare hornet]

I know that’s a lot more needed for resin

Never heard it being done for plastic

[rare hornet]

Bold of you to assume I don’t already eat the left over plastic

[naive umbra]

Like I said, I'm not convinced I need to do it, but it took me 10 mins and the instructions said wash before assembly so why the hell not?

my only answer is that T5 marines are incredibly hard to Instant-Kill

well, that's all old-edition speaking

i don't know what they're like now

[rare hornet]

Oh that right, I forget they are toughness 5

[elfin yew]

I think DG being popular might just be anecdotal

But yeah they are durable which is cool!

They def arent like turbo strong rn. Just good!

[rare hornet]

I suppose a toughness 5 -1 damage army is pretty hard to work your way through

[elfin yew]

Yeah, theyre just so

So very slow

Mortarion is, Im p sure, the tankiest single unit in the game which is pretty funny

[rare hornet]

He’s definitely up there

Although I’m pretty sure he’s lost the top spot

[dry torrent]

I think what army you have

[rare hornet]

At the moment, Iron Warriors

[dry torrent]

Mhhhhh

And you play IG ?

[rare hornet]

Guard was my original army, but I gave them a break until new codex. They’re on the todo list

Oooo yes, I can never seem to get a decent green

I’ve mostly stuck to the waaagh flesh on its own

[rigid jetty]

I use a weird mix for my green

[dry torrent]

The waggh flesh is too clear

[rigid jetty]

Start with gutrippa contrast then use kharandras green for darks and plague bearer flesh for lights then ak slimy grime for wash

[dry torrent]

Is too smooth no?

[rare hornet]

I think it works,

[dry torrent]

Yes but is not a live

[rigid jetty]

My current trim nightmare

[rare hornet]

I didn’t want it too bright as the rest of the model is quite dark

If you use nuln oil on all is look like better

[rigid jetty]

Cheater juice light use ak streaking grime for true cheater juice

I tried washing them before and it made it look too black. So it just blended into the armour and such

[dry torrent]

Too black ?

Is just shadow so is better

[rare hornet]

Hmm, it’ll need some refinement I suppose

For the time being it’s all about the marines

[dry torrent]

SHOW me pls

[rare hornet]

I’ve not done many of them

Let me quickly have a look

[dry torrent]

Dont Worry

[rare hornet]

That’s about it for the time being

The dread took up the longest amount of time

[dry torrent]

Its pretty cool

[rigid jetty]

I keep debating on whether I want to get the fw contempror dread for my blood angels or a crimson paladins set

Both look amazing

[rare hornet]

Depends what you’d want the dread to do?

They’re actually very versatile

[rigid jetty]

It would mostly just be for looks tbh

I already have plenty of ba

[rare hornet]

Oh fair enough, thought you was talking gamewise

[dry torrent]

I think next month i start a chapter descend salamander to go with my imperial guard

[rare hornet]

The FW dread I’m not so familiar with

[rare hornet]

That is very good

[rigid jetty]

The crimson paladins also look dope

[rare hornet]

What ones are they?

[rare hornet]

They would be quite the brick to throw at someone

They’d make an excellent bodyguard unit

[rigid jetty]

The last fw model I got was a nightmare of a project and I still haven't painted it my problem is their resin sucks

[rare hornet]

It is particularly bad

[rigid jetty]

And after the last one I told myself never again until it's in plastic

[rare hornet]

Although I’ve seen that after washing the resin it’s not soo bad

[slender zodiac]

ik im ungodly late
but i think its cause DG is one of the few CSM with codexes and they're actually good sometimes
and the other one is stupid femboy wizards sooooo

[rigid jetty]

Got both at the same time

I still need to decide on a black templars related paint scheme for the thawk

The amount of time the thawk took to shape and clean up and put together sucked ass

[rare hornet]

Im intrigued about the fellblade project

The main base is actually plastic with resin that makes up the outside

[rigid jetty]

I mean you could basically use a kratos base and a warhound plasma blast gun that was 3d printed

[rare hornet]

Meh big tank go brrrr

[rigid jetty]

I 3d printed a few warhounds a while back

That was fun to paint and use in a few games

[lavish crescent]

Why have big tonk when you have enough infantry to make the Soviet Union blush?

[glacial crescent]

easier to paint.

[rare hornet]

Because any problem can be solved with enough application of tank

[lavish crescent]

Same with lasguns and melta

Also if I remember, did someone win the championship with a guard army?

[rare hornet]

But as the men in red dressing gowns always say, the flesh is weak

[lavish crescent]

You mean the false necrons

[glacial crescent]

(the iron hands also say that)

[rare hornet]

But the iron hands have a worse taste in fashion

[lavish crescent]

I ain’t wrong

[plush swift]

Hey curious. What vehicles would y'all say are good for beginners? Like rhinos or something?

[rare hornet]

BANEBLA- oh wait beginners?

[glacial crescent]

any imperium vehicle, maybe not sentinels.

[rare hornet]

Yeah a rhino is pretty plain and simple if you wanna practice tanks, maybe a russ if you want to practice some details

[edgy jackal]

Why not? Relatively small, not many colours, only hard part is painting sub assemblies

[glacial crescent]

they're more complex than a metal box.

[rare hornet]

If you want to practice big flat smooth surfaces, a rhino or something built on a rhino is your best bet

[edgy jackal]

Any faction you in particular that you have in mind?

A rhino is pretty simple though, yeah

Although a space marine biker might be an easier example, fewer rivets to cover

[plush swift]

Uuuhhhh.....
Probably most likely either blood angels or old world eaters

World eaters for horus heresy and blood angels for 40k

[glacial crescent]

yeah i think they sell upgrade kits for rhinos with heraldry so i would recommend that.

[edgy jackal]

So, space marines. Yeah, then a bike or a rhino would be simplest. Maybe a land speeder.

[lavish crescent]

If you’re doing HH, get the AOD and do the spartan assault tank

[glacial crescent]

or... something smaller.

[rare hornet]

The proteus is smaller

[lavish crescent]

Dreadnought

[edgy jackal]

A dreadnought

[rare hornet]

The dreadnought

[lavish crescent]

AOD is good then, got both small and big

[edgy jackal]

The basic one though, not the new overdesigned ones

[lavish crescent]

You mean the venerable ones?

[edgy jackal]

I mean the invictor suit

Although the venerable one may be a bit much too

[rare hornet]

Contemptor

Painting wise it’s simpler, building wise eh well you can’t win ‘em all

[lavish crescent]

True

[edgy jackal]

I guess it depends what you want to improve on. Detail work (highlights, rivets, chipping, etc), painting flat panels, pacing yourself on larger models, or maybe something else.

[plush swift]

There's some contemptors available at the comic shop I get my stuff from. And I've been thinking about getting them

[lavish crescent]

They good

[rare hornet]

Not a bad idea. Will warn you that they do have ball joints for the legs and arms

[lavish crescent]

Enough room to use decals on too

[lavish crescent]

Does make posing like 20x easier though

[plush swift]

Really? Thats actually cool

[rare hornet]

Well yeah it’s good for posing. It’s just they can be fiddly if you get them wrong

[plush swift]

Yeah probably gets frustrating after a few mess ups

[rare hornet]

The best way to do it is to build both the legs and such before putting them together. Then make the whole leg assembly

While the glue is still drying you can adjust and fix some things

Sort of like so

[plush swift]

Also y'all build and then paint or paint as you build?

[plush swift]

That seems way easier to pose and all that

[rare hornet]

Yeah it’s not too bad. Just ball joints and me have a checkered history

[edgy jackal]

Build partially and then paint, if the model has hard to reach areas

[lavish crescent]

Ew, two feet on the floor

[rare hornet]

I was trying to keep it simple for the first one. And he had to stand at an angle to make room for the ultramarine on the base

I’ve got other plans for my Leviathan when I get there

[plush swift]

Yeahhhh that makes more sense than fighting with tiny areas like I have been

[rare hornet]

Yeah I’d say go for the contemptor honestly

[plush swift]

Okay. I'll probably grab it tomorrow when I go to the store.

(hopefully I don't get too scared to paint it)

[rare hornet]

Nah don’t sweat it.

believe me I’ve probably done worse

[plush swift]

The models just look so good and I don't wanna mess them up. So I overthink way too much😭

[rare hornet]

Just take your time with it is the best advice I can give. Oh and having good light to work with is so valuable

[plush swift]

Yeah it sucks when you can't see where you're painting

[lavish crescent]

SEND HELP ITS SNOWING!

I’m in the UK, this shouldn’t be happening!!

[lavish crescent]

No motion though?

[rare hornet]

What!? That’s illegal!

[rare hornet]

Plan to do that for later ones

[lavish crescent]

Fair

[naive umbra]

Pretty happy with this woodchip I found. Trying to decide if I should put the conifer branch on the end or not.

[lavish crescent]

You need sand brother

[naive umbra]

Yeah got sand, and static grass too, just trying to arrange it all before I start gluing anything

[lavish crescent]

Remember to not make the base too cluttered else it will take your eyes away from the model

[naive umbra]

Yeah, my plan is just a sandy base with a few small clumps of static grass, with the Crisis suit sorta climbing up the woodchip with one leg, back leg on the sand. Possibly the conifer around the side of the bark but I'll probably cut it a bit shorter so it doesn't hang off the edge of the base

The woodchip will also get painted as a rock

[lavish crescent]

Fair

I’m a currently doing roads or rocky areas

[feral spade]

Done my last noot noot

[lavish crescent]

Noice

Also @rare hornet you doing iron warriors or ultramarine 30k?

[rare hornet]

I am doing Iron Warriors

[feral spade]

Ty, second time i used aerograph

[rigid jetty]

I always forget how small some models be

Just when I was done getting annoyed with votann back to guard

[dry torrent]

You put too mutch on commander trellis

[naive umbra]

Starting to look pretty nice

[median thistle]

that is one dusty piece of chicken

[naive umbra]

It's the colonel's spice blend

[rare hornet]

That’s some very breaded chicken

[median thistle]

question does anyone here know anything about the science behind the laws of physics that plastic mini bits follow

cuz I dropped the knee pad to my contemptor dreadnought and its gone forever

[naive umbra]

Depends how good your psyker is

[rare hornet]

Depends on what day it is

Plastic minis always fly south for the winter

[naive umbra]

Wait, for the dreadnought?

[rare hornet]

Or was that resin?

[naive umbra]

Isn't that a big piece?

[median thistle]

sort of

I watched it fall and bounce off my extension cable and then it vanished

[naive umbra]

The machine spirit was displeased

[median thistle]

I FOUND IT

[naive umbra]

But he forgives all

[rare hornet]

Praise the omnissiah!

[median thistle]

physics confuse me

@rare hornet you know where my boots are under my bed, in that plastic bag

it landed in one of the boots

[rare hornet]

Wait in?!

[median thistle]

yeah

[rare hornet]

Wat

[median thistle]

yeah I dont know

its sorcery

tis witchcraft

tis...heresy

[lavish crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/heresy-purge-w40k-warhammer-gif-10271501

[rare hornet]

That or you could just stop dropping your dreadnought?

[lavish crescent]

No

[median thistle]

I was glueing the two pieces together

[lavish crescent]

Wait question: what glue you using?

[median thistle]

tamiya extra thin brushy glue

[lavish crescent]

Good

That shit smells like the tits and is amazing to use

[median thistle]

wait is that a good smell or a bad smell cuz now im confused

[lavish crescent]

Good

[rare hornet]

Oh

[lavish crescent]

Strong but doesn’t smell like rat shit
