Found some high comcentrated alcohol at our local hardware store that I'm going to try. It's 95 to 98%, normally used to make tinctures or consumables. That should work fine for stripping paint and dissolving superglue right?

that wont desolve super glue at all

Most brands ppl suggest are not in stores here and you pay like 10x retail from import webshops

yeah you're either going to have to make a caustic soda mixture yourself or suffer through alcohol
dettol isnt even good

What do you suggest for superglue? Got a grail reliquae I want to take apart
Ideally something I can flush to the toilet hehe

I don't particularly like this model but the two that make it up have my hopes up
plush swift

superglue remover, its a specialty product
plush swift
Ideally something I can flush to the toilet hehe
technically you cant flush paint, its actually quiet hazardous, including the "non-toxic" stuff
because its only "non-toxic" when used correctly
hence why you can list cobalt paint as non-toxic
obsidian ocean
Used alcohol before, seemed to weaken the bond after 24h of soaking and worked ok. Used a toothbrush to remove the remnants

Also I played my first kill team game today, was fun 
obsidian ocean
Freezer didnt work this model slots together from multiple sides like a puzzle
You don't have an angle to pull stuff free. Base is metal 2
Usually freezer does the trick for me
plush swift
oh its a metal model?
acetone
if everything is metal then acetone is your best bet in most cases
obsidian ocean
Hmm might try that. Acetone is ammoniak right?
edgy jackal
Hmm might try that. Acetone is ammoniak right?
2 euro or so for a small bottle at the etos or kruidvat
obsidian ocean
ah yeah aceton should be affordable, cheers
I have a liter of ethanol in the basement, I figured as aceton would work so would alcohol as the molecular formula isn't that different hehe
I'll try aceton tho if it's that cheap
that's the model, want to take the rider off and strip it. repaint them as redemptionists or cawdor members. remove the rider, hide a magnet in there, and build a few riders (redemptionist, cawdor and maybe something for one of my other gangs) to use as mount in necromunda ash wastes
it's 4 guys carrying a wooden horse with a dead guy on top
did get the rider sorta free after a night in the freezer, but his leg/foot is stuck between the carriers
lean snow
A nice 24 hour bath in isopropyl alcohol
obsidian ocean
Yeah I'll try that first, just checked local stores but even hardware shops now sell fake aceton for some reason. Tried action/kruidvat and a few others but seems they swapped aceton for different stuff in most of their products
Some bs that terrorists potentially use it and that is harmful, 2 arguments that work on most of their inventory and normally doesn't seem to bother them hehe
Found a big bottle of aceton at Hornbach but if you look closely it says its a replacement for aceton, bit of a scam imo

Might eventually get some oscilating machine to stripping, huge backlog of metal squats and dwarfs. Wanted to try tha AK stripper but doing all models by hand will take forever

Noticed that with some greenstuff sellers (like greenstuff world). There are multiple cheaper brands that sell the exact same putty in bigger quantities and have the 2 components in seperate containers. Even they are resellers I assume but you get way better value
In my opinion they should ban any brand that is dumb enough to put the blue and yellow on the same strip touching eachother thinking of it
Using GF9 for putty atm, they are like any other dropshipper but the quality of putty seems to be way better than what I'm used to from gw, armypainter or greenstuff world. Probably because they package the stuff better and keep the bars seperate. + for the same money you get like 4x as much putty

I wouldnt if I was you, 10kg is over a grand
I dont remember the exact price as it came out of the work budget which we were 2mil under the budget last year so

I can only see smaller packs on the kneadtite website but maybe i fI contact them as a biz they can offer me different quantities
obsidian ocean
How long can you store the 10kg? Do you put it in a freezer or just a dark place?
plush swift
I throw it in a freezer
obsidian ocean
Like I'm a rather slow sculptor, even the regular gf9 packs can last me for weeks/months
Cheers might send them an email before I go abroad, so if it takes them a few months that is ok :P
This was one of the models I was working on before I got a new laptop and took a small break hehe
That's like 12 layers hehe, almost hitting 50% done. The lower coat will need some work and gets a checkered trim. Almost done on the head. Building 2 more heavy carapace Squats, 1 more with dragon decorations and a bull themed one

Some of her buddies, The little beastmen will end up as a gor half-horn proxy (build out of a 1980s chaos squat I had double in the backlog). The biker / cyber-slayer gang is getting a bit out of hand (over 40 metal squats from various rogue trader ranges + some plastic kitbashes/conversions. Lot of bikes/trikes, mounts and a few bigger vehicles in the works 2. Build them from the squat models I had no use for in 40k space dwarf projects

Looking at their kickstarter, I can only wonder, what's the catch? If it's safe, super pigmented, has good flow, is it going to be able to compete in price? A lot of potential questions can be answered on their kickstarter page. I think I have one though, how safe are these paints when airbrushed (you often say to be careful when spraying certain yellows iirc).

Another one, are they going to try to distribute primarily to (online) hobby stores, or also art supply stores like van beek? What's their plan for increasing product adoption in different countries (duncan rhoades could just put his face next his line of paints, so that probably helped a lot, but it ended up costing as much as citadel, so I don't know if caught on very well)?

currently got a list of 10 warriors, 3 scarab swarms, skorpekh lord, reanimator,...
Definitely bump it up to 20 warriors and a lord to join
celest zealot
i mean i could just... have one blob of 20 warriors led by a royal warden, another blob of 10 led by a plasmancer WITH cryptothralls, a skorpekh lord leading Ophydians, which is a much cheaper list of models to buy to add on to what i've got
plush swift
Royal warden is a great alternative
toxic rampart
they look fancy, i love the white robed one
Thank you! Gonna do another coat or two of the white, the back is a little splotchy
celest zealot
Only Skorpekh destroyers
oh even better i can get those cheaper
i just liked ophydians better
yeah i can get up to 1k with like
$180
which is well within my budget
plush swift
Yeah, ophydians are cool, but can’t be joined by anything
Skorpekhs are cheap, dirt cheap
Getting 6 of those with a skorpekh is a twirling murder machine
celest zealot
and with a Reanimator i can just add a d3 to reanimation protocol
plush swift
Yup
celest zealot
Skorpekhs are cheap, dirt cheap
same points as ophydians for 3 models
plush swift
Reanimator was a meme, now it’s useful
celest zealot
but much cheaper financially

unfortunately can't but im happy with the list i got

but yeah thats a pretty cheap necrons list
even if it does mean having like

Yeah, Necrons are still cheap to get into, just make sure to get what you can now before prices jump back up
celest zealot
yeah i grabbed a bunch of unboxed on sprue stuff on ebay
used Flayed Ones are a few bucks cheaper which is nice
and necron warrios without scarabs are super common
and also very cheap
not to mention ofc the royal warden and skorpekhs

Putty, metal rods, guitarstrings and p[astic bits would be my pick
Oyumaru Hinodwashi or bluestuff (if you want to pay double) is a real recommendation to any kitbasher 2 so you can dupe your favourite bits and bobs
obsidian ocean
That could be a smart pick, often the skitarii ones do have a bit of sleeve covering most of the mechanical bits
The ruststalker/infiltrator kit might have the arms you are looking for. those show more of the mechanical bits
there is a slight scale difference between the infiltrators/ruststalkers and regular skitarii. It's mainly the legs but i think the arms are slightly longer 2
I made a mechanic/boinic arm for one of my squats out of 2 metal rods and a bit of putty. She is in a gang with the (unreleased) cyber-slayers who have rather crude implants so it was easy to build from scratch
Still need to extend her hair and maybe touch up a few bits, about 90% done on this model

there's a fan, I've had zero issues with particles, though if I spray something with a strong smell (primer for example) it will still smell, so I use a mask for safety.
obsidian ocean
Hmm that's smart. You can always add an active carbon filter layer to your setup to get rid of most of the smell. Some chemicals will still pass through
One of the other gangers as context for the crude implant hehe (unreleased squat cyber-slayers, got 6 of these at the moment in 3 variants)
Might strip and repaint them, or some only need some additional details/colours and minor touchups

even with a spray booth you need a mask weirdly enough, the fans cant actually attract a lot of pigments and fail miserably with a lot of things like titanium white, which is carcinogenic
supposedly at least
mental jolt

Perm violet dark
As for the booth and particulate, I spray inside and towards the filter, so that probably helps
But yes, mask (and gloves) should be used. Also a proper solution for spraying/pouring out paint and cleaning solutions once you're done.

obsidian ocean
do models lose colour over time? And does varnishing stop that?
They might depending on a few factors (I think). Dust, smoke and pollutants might build up over the years/decades, same for gunk from picking them up and moving them. Or from oils/acids from touch. Often UV and IR light spectra could fade colours depending on pigment and medium. Probably more factors not sure tho.
Varnish/glaze should help but wouldn't be a guarantee. Like how glass should negate some effects from sunlight but for instance book covers or paintings can still fade or lose colour over time even when they don't get any direct light and is being protected by multiple layers of glass. Sometimes a varnish can dull colours a bit or negate certain effects. Any light that reflects of the varnish is light that is not hitting them sweet pigments ;) I'd like to varnish my models but I haven't found the perfect varnish yet, even the mat labled ones tend to be sorta glossy like some inks
I think with the proper storage and a bit of varnish it should be minimal, unless you display them in (or near) a window

Like the -1 to wound infantry strat orks have
teal wolf
2 cp is hefty in 10th
rare hornet
Yup, but if you time it right oh boy. Because you lose say 6 boyz have them fight and remove them from the back of the squad, then fight back with everyone who is able to
Because 20 boyz is too many to get to all fight a unit at once

Btw @teal wolf that’s 1000 points of orks in 10th edition
jaunty trail
1000 Points battles are bigger now i think... and 3000 points seems to be insane 😄
rare hornet
1000 points of dark angles that I fought against was to the best of my knowledge:
Captain (firstborn)
Command squad
5 infiltrators
5 intercessors
5 devastators
5 terminators
Redemptor
Was a close game that came down to the end of turn 5, Dark angels managed to win by 1VP as my killa Kans just weren’t able to contest the objective he was on and force a draw
jaunty trail
Okay ^^ i will test 10th ed soonish i think. Having enought BT's ready
rare hornet
I’ve organised my Templar into several fighting companies so they don’t feel so messy. It’s been amazing as well because I’ve had to put rules on myself for army building
Like Must have access to the command squad units (chaplain, apoth etc.) and a max of 2 dreads for the company
teal wolf
Btw <@458984392677785612> that’s 1000 points of orks in 10th edition
Ooooh no don't tell me these things xD

Orks are so much fun, because you can kiss tactics goodbye and just run at your opponent

World Eaters my beloved

Winning? Who cares about that I just slapped the shit out of your devestator team with power klaws
teal wolf
That's why I got world eaters. But they are shelved till I get another air brush

In 9th I won a game Vs necrons as I just killed all 5 skorpekh destroyers with meganobz and they had no idea what to do after that
rare hornet
I love them so much, it’s a shame power klaws got dropped to Str 9
I miss scaring rogal Dorn users with being able to wound them on 3s

I’m using a land raider in my world eaters, a nice ranged option, with assault ramp to charge my 10 Zerks and MoE into an enemy
Vehicles are so good to have
rare hornet
They used to have a strat where they became damage 3 so insta killed terminators and other units like that
plush swift
Oh jeez
rare hornet
Oh yeah 10th has made the landraider much more appealing to some units
Like my assault centurions
Or aggressors

I play 1.5k so my list building is a little limited, but it gives me more thought provoking lists

Honestly 1k games have been some of the most fun

Managed to fit an invocatus with 8bound, a daemon prince with helm, and a land raider to transport 10 zerks and MoE with favoured of khorne

My 1.5k orks is the same as my 1k but with more boyz and 2 trukks for board control

Casual 10th games have been amazing to play.

Heresy is the only tabletop I actually want to try, slowly building an army for it
plush swift
GW needs to make a box set that’s just 100 chain axes for $50
So I have enough for world eaters
And can slap them on all the mk6
sweet sinew
40K has the cooler minis. Horus Heresy has the cooler story and from what I’ve seen, it might be a tad more fun to play
plush swift
100 chainaxes, 100 bolt pistols, 50 left/right handed each
rare hornet
I like the idea of selecting units and weapons based on theme, my IW terminators are bunker clearers. So flamer who has chainfist to open doors and everyone has powerfists and combi bolters. Best suited for confined fights
rare hornet
They’re so much fun. Especially as a friend of mine is ultra marines so we’re decorating bases themed around fighting each other

I feel your pain in 10th, butchers are such a slept on idea from GW
My plan for chaos is to get some blight termis to use of chaos terminators with the mark of nurgle
teal wolf
World eaters launch was so underwhelming
plush swift
Red Butchers use to exist in 40k and don’t exist in HH because when legion terminator units are BETTER than your terminator
It’s quite sad
I could use a normal cataphractii squad and get better results than red butchers

doesnt matter, still have impurities that change the pH of acrylic paint which can cause issues for its longevity
plush swift
air quality is also a factor too yes
brazen badger
I bet the alignment of stars also has an affect
plush swift
polyurethane varnishes are hit or miss
matte varnish offers zero protection, its for nothing but sheen
to protect them from the elements you need an MSA varnish over an isolation coat
brazen badger
oh fuck off
plush swift
most acrylic varnishes dont offer much at all in terms of protection
mostly you need the isolation coat as varnish should be replaced once every 10 years as it tends to yellow and become brittle
it can last a while, but we dont have any good data on PU varnishes as they are still new, lab testing and real world testing offer very different factors

And ignore cover sounds nice
I'm definitely building my Kastelans with fists and phosphor blasters though

I'm definitely building my Kastelans with fists and phosphor blasters though
I recommend if you build Kastelans with fists to go flamer
Because if you’re going in range to charge, you’re in range to flame

It's more that I want my Kastelans to be ranged
plush swift
And you can stop counter charges with overwatch
plush swift
Max ranged platform works too
plush swift
Np, just and idea
celest zealot
I just don't like the way flamer looks on them, but I don't like the phosphor hands either, you know
plush swift
Yeah, do what you think is cool though
celest zealot
Can the shoulder phosphor blaster even shoot in melee or did Kastelans lose the Vehicle keywords
I don't remember
Did they ever have it?
plush swift
Lemme check the index
celest zealot
I feel like they used to shoot in melee
plush swift
They’re vehicles
plush swift
NP, just too much free time on my hands
plush swift
Ty for checking, friend :)
Keep in mind, since a datasmith is usually attached with Kastelans, they gain the infantry keyword too, meaning they can be effected by anti-infantry weapons
I know it’s dumb, but that’s sadly the rules GW made it
plush swift
As a soon to be world eaters, I’m gonna learn a lot about using terrain
Since I’m used to playing Genecults and Necrons it’ll be different

but like i guess Mechanicus don't really have a sense of uniformity anyway

so phosphor cannons it is
rare hornet
All I know the crawler as is the laser and tank killing, but that's from Gladius so....
I mean, I play orks. My entire battleplan is just yeet my army at you and somehow that works from time to time
Also I can get a Gorkanaut in a 1000 point list comfortably
That's now on the todo list
celest zealot
niceee
i had a funny ork concept back in 9th
a Blood Axes army with a gorkonaut
cuz of the BA rule that lets them fall back and shoot or charge
and the Big n' Stompy rule that lets it fall back and charge
so i could fall it back and still shoot or charge
but since kulturs arent a thing anymore i cant do it
rare hornet
It is quite sad that's the case
Also the fact mega armour character must go with meganobz is a slight setback, I always ran the mek with the boyz
celest zealot
yeahhhh
orks have great models tbh but being honest i despise painting them
just not my thing i suppose

Corpsy Hon, I like you but **what?**
It made sense to me I swear
its the conservationist speaking
tldr is you need a thing called an isolation coat before you put on varnish because varnish alone does next to nothing other than change the sheen

Update: they arrived and I am very pleased with the result. They came packaged very well, lots of protection and are in excellent condition. My only gripe(s) are that they came preassembled which I knew but I like to work in sub assemblies. They also needed alot of cleanup; mold lines, sprue marks etc which wasn't hard but overall I would recommend just take what you get with a grain of salt as these are secondhand.
An example I have primed black which I wish I had waited to do so I could have done a before and after once they're finished. I'm gonna paint them as Crinson Fists

I was obssessed with black templar for a while. Until the black theme got a bit stale for me idk why

But yeah it doesn't matter how niche it is tbh

I've been eyeing the sororitas box set
coarse badger
No they're not??? They got a whole new model range end of 9th
That was uhhh
The named HQ, Zerkers, Jakals, Eightbound and Angron no?

they are nice not beginner friendly though i assume

go for what you think is cool
celest zealot
Primaris are easy to paint and play, they teach you a bit of everything about the tabletop
If you have an army in mind
Go for them instead
But if you're not sure

I'm deathly afraid of ordering my first models

You'll do fine, just look up some tutorials and try to prepare yourself
coarse badger
I've confirmed that they ship here but some people may not approve 
sour nexus
I reccomend if you dont have a warhammer shop near you, look for other hobby shops and shoot the shit with them and ask questions

Oh I've been watching the likes of Duncan and PeteTheWargamer for like 3-4 years
celest zealot

Which one, the combat patrol?

im going to a painting class this weekend at my local warhammer shop

The only one is in Vienna, and that isn't exactly close

my condolences
sterile grail
i watched duncan alot as well and then when i first painted i fucked up lol it humbled me real quick
celest zealot
im going to a painting class this weekend at my local warhammer shop
Nice, my shop hosts those every Saturday as well, I learned a lot from mine
hearty narwhal
Which one, the combat patrol?
Yeah
coarse badger
There's supposedly one in the capital but I don't intend to go there and it apparently looks like someone's closet
hearty narwhal
I'm lucky to live 10 mi from a Warhammer shop
sour nexus
@celest zealot was right, the simplest is straight up space marines, But again choose what you think is cool and go for it. got to start somewhere and you can always repaint them
my first attempt wasnt perfect
celest zealot
Yeah
The sororitas combat patrol is really good as a starting point for an army of them from what I know, I don't play them but they have really cool models and If you think they're cool go for it
sour nexus
but im still having fun
celest zealot
Yeah exactly, don't expect perfection, it took me a few months to start painting models well
celest zealot
Hell even 2 years on I'm still improving
Warhammer is a journey same as anything else
sour nexus
also dont buy all your painting stuff from citadel go for amazon for brushes
coarse badger
Aw crap I think it sold out
celest zealot
But stuff like army painter is cheaper
sour nexus
citadel has great paint colors and consistency
celest zealot
Mhm
sterile grail
i dont understand citadel paints hate, i thought they are actually good
sour nexus
Also dont be afraid to customize you sets and kitbash
coarse badger
I'm getting one of these
sterile grail
except for white its a bit tricky
coarse badger
Nice starting point imo
celest zealot
Also dont be afraid to customize you sets and kitbash
This, don't be afraid to make your models your own
hearty narwhal
Kitbash? Like swap out gear?
coarse badger
Yeah
sour nexus
i combined some of my night lords with primaris intercessor stuff
sterile grail
kitbash is nice but its so costly for me
celest zealot
Yeah I only really kitbash with the spare bite I already have
sour nexus
dont be afraid to proxy too just be careful your milage will vary
hearty narwhal
Are there rules for kitbashing if you wanted to take it to tabletop
sterile grail
im stocking up bits for my future veterans and it require some old veteran bits to make it look authentic
coarse badger
Are there rules for kitbashing if you wanted to take it to tabletop
Depends on the store
Most cases doesn't matter
sour nexus
Are there rules for kitbashing if you wanted to take it to tabletop
depends on if its a tournament and only for units and weapons
sterile grail
Are there rules for kitbashing if you wanted to take it to tabletop
not really, i mean official match will ban 3rd party bits
so i usually get bits from official boxes that people sell
hearty narwhal
If it's all GW then it's fine?
sterile grail
unless ur a spendthirft like me then sure go ahead
sour nexus
like some things i want are only avaible on third party
sterile grail
look man, with these I can buy 3 sets of leviathan and more
celest zealot
Are there rules for kitbashing if you wanted to take it to tabletop
Just keep your base size consistent and have some original bits
3d printed bits and accessories are usually fine
sour nexus
Be careful with polymer types because GW stuff is plastic and some can be resin and plastic glue wont work
sterile grail
you need superglue
celest zealot
Yeah super glue works on everything though
Loctite gel seals really fast and is pretty tough for what it is
sterile grail
I havent used my superglue yet but hopes that it will work just fine when i dtart to kitbash my space marines
i use the gel type
celest zealot
I've worked with enough forge world shit to know which super glue works
And which, uh, doesn't
Lmfao
sterile grail
does gorilla super glue gel works
also now that i think again this hobby is such an expensive one that i got into
but since i invested this much might as wel pull out its worth through the models
celest zealot
I mean it is
But I love this hobby
So I don't care
I mean I have enough cash saved and not like I'm spending it on much else other than necessities
sterile grail
Yeah i mean i love this hobby as well dont get me wrong
but a part of me is stressed because of that
coarse badger
I just need an excuse to get away from my PC
sterile grail
You just need to touch some grass
coarse badger
Too much noise pollution, makes my head hurt
sterile grail
good grass
coarse badger
I touch enough grass to be allowed some peace
sterile grail
then its a good time to touch plastic models
celest zealot
but a part of me is stressed because of that
I understand that
I have to budget myself a lot
I got to splurge a bit last week
On Warhammer anyway
But it's rare
errant fulcrum
Well uh you can bring a warhound into a 2000 point game

My black tempalrs are gonna have a rough day
When do they not?
My BT's are also fighting hard anytime ^^
errant fulcrum
When do they not?
They’re actually pretty good in 10th
My last game with them it was just 1 crusader squad left against plague burst crawler and they beat it to death in melee
jaunty trail
But im still laughing my ass off, that i just can play Thunderhawk if i want to... 🤣
jaunty trail

Ye like what a crusader do... beat heretics and infidels to death by melee weapon 😄

He’s already making list ideas
Have they changed the obscuring terrain rule?

Thanks! I tried to make the arquebus look fancy but also grimed and used
celest zealot
you definitely succeeded
i love the way the arquebus looks but unfortunately i cant take JUST the arq as a special weapon
if i could take just that without the arc rifle or plasma caliver i would do that
but i cant ;-;
sullen creek
You can take 2 special weapons in a skitarii squad tho, just cant be the same weapon i think
Atleast battlescribe says i can
celest zealot
i know that but its just a thematic thing i guess
just the way i prefer to do things idk
sullen creek
Fair
I think the rad carbines are gunna be good in 10th
So i might make a squad vanguard
Nothing like shooting "hot" rounds
celest zealot
i have 2 squads rangers with data tethers and plasma
for harassment and flanking
and im making 2 squads of vanguard each led by a marshal
i think my list right now is a dominus, manipulus, enginseer, 2 marshals, 20 rangers, 20 vanguard, 10 sterilyzors, 10 ruststalkers, 3 raiders, 2 kastelan robots and their datasmith, and 2 dunecrawlers
i also have Cawl but honestly i just wanna paint him to have
celest zealot
i think my list right now is a dominus, manipulus, enginseer, 2 marshals, 20 ran...
oh and how could i forget, 6 kataphron destroyers
its a very chunky list
celest zealot
wait SHIT i also forgot my ironstrider ballistarii
how could i forget so many units
im literally painting most of them rn
fuckin hell
coarse badger
celest zealot
okay THIS is the finalized list how are we lookin
i feel like sustained hits on a 6-man blob of Destroyers will be terrifying

A couple of drones just about done and ready for the holy earthshade bath.
celest zealot
love seeing some bloat drones
