Probably retconed

silver thorn
#

isn't that an old issue of white dwarf?

#

and it says bitz list

#

probably just a conversion

#

the magazines i think do guides on kitbashing

brisk vapor
#

No they used to sell the kits in bits as well

silver thorn
#

I'm sad they don't anymore

#

it would be awesome to get specific bits

brisk vapor
#

Like you could just order a single piece from that kit if you wanted to

#

They grew too large to handle such demand

silver thorn
#

too bad they got rid of that 😦

brisk vapor
#

You wrote a letter for them and listed the items/bits you wanted

#

And they sent them to you

silver thorn
#

if a company can ship 3000 types of screws out in onsey/twosey lots they can ship plastic bits lol

#

they just didn't want too

#

we all know gw is motivated by one thing lol

brisk vapor
#

Well too large to want to put that much effort into smaller profits

silver thorn
#

yea, much easier to just make the boxed sets

#

and get you to buy the whole box if you want just 1 piece from it

#

I'm just saying its logistically very feasible

#

and profitable

teal wolf
#

Man if I could've bought straight mk6 helms back in the day....

silver thorn
#

i worked in a shipping center that handled everything from personal mail to industrial freight for 12 navy ships and a 15000 personnel shipyard in maine and it shipping had 8 employees. lol

#

you need far less experienced and capable people to pull a little plastic arm out of a box labeled "Sororitas Arms 89-BA" or something

teal wolf
#

That sounds miserable

silver thorn
#

then you charge like 10 dollars shipping for a 3 cent part that you mark up cause its solo piece meal

silver thorn
brisk vapor
#

Granted I recon the infrastructure behind all that was created by something larger than a mildly successful toy company

silver thorn
#

yea true, but I do think like

#

I personally could do it with like 4 employees and it would overlap with existing shipping/packaging infrastructure

#

ig it depends on volume but its very scalable, you just make product, put it where its supposed to go and then ship it out to fill orders lol

#

I think that people could do it in there basements if they wanted too

#

which they do, like 3D printed bits sellers and stuff

I had an idea

I like warsuits

Imagine one sprinting at you with a melta and big sword

I may have ordered the copy of Imperium magazine with the Paragon Warsuit Superior because it was cheap

Now to figure out how to make it AdMech mechanisus

I’ve done it on my knights

hmmm

#

I need some Voidsmen-at-arms proxies, no way I'm buying two Kill Team packs for half the models

#

wondering if I should just hero forge some

summer sparrow
#

Hmmmmmm

#

Cerastus Knights have Bondsman Abilities, and are basically the older Questoris in lore, I wish they chould use the Mythic Hero enhancement

sudden notch
#

Maybe some necromunda palatine enforcer could work too

summer sparrow
#

that'd probably work, but I've decided to relist my 1k army to squeeze in a 3rd Armiger by downsizing my Castigator with Mysterious Guardian to an Acheron with Revered Knight aura

#

1 K nig it, 3 armigers, and a Vindicare to help get Lay Low the Tyrant

#

I thematically love it cause my plan has been for a Lumberjack Knight House and having most of them have chain blades now is fun

summer sparrow
#

you can see burnt orange for windows and stuff, and on one map I loaded outside and you could see everything in that burnt orange, so I think it has something to do with the shaders and illumination since it's using new unreal engine stuff for te remake

and one Youtuber I saw is making a MASSIVE Imperial Palace map for the game

(cause GW paid him to)

Basically gonna be an Epic scale version of the palace, but with a sister board of modular pieces so portions can effectively be "zoomed in" for the close up fighting of 28mm scale

#

with modern day forensics, you cant easily do that due to xray, carbon dating, and the nuclear bombs

#

modern paint and pigment has trace amounts of nuclear material in them which is easily detectable on tests

I'm currently working on a Gladiator Lancer Tank... The Tanks Name will be "Spear of desolation"

#

šŸ¤” Lance of desolation would fit better šŸ˜„

plush swift
#

me too, not started but will tomorrow

#

i also have that melta gun from combat patrol for tanks so i can give it 3 meltas

jaunty trail
plush swift
#

yes

jaunty trail
#

Thats a bit much i think

plush swift
#

probably

#

but what does the lancer has

#

ik one has auto cannon and the other maybe las cannon

jaunty trail
#

BT Gladiator Lancer should may carry 1x Multi Melta, 1x Main gun, 2x Storm Bolter/Fragstorm Missle Launchers

#

Lancers Main gun is a 72" range Laser Destroyer

plush swift
#

i need something against tanks tho

#

besides, i have also a impulsor

jaunty trail

Plus Firing Deck 6

plush swift

i have the building constructions with me rn, according to it i cant use the sideway meltas with lancer

jaunty trail
plush swift

then i go storm bolter

jaunty trail
#

But the Lancer Laser Destroyer is still worth the deal

plush swift
#

have missles on my impulsor

jaunty trail
#

and when the Impulsor is loaded with Intercessors + Lieutenant... oh boy firing deck 6 goes hard šŸ˜„

Don't forget to add the Icarus Rocket Pods on the Lancer... also Anti Fly 2+ & also 24" rocket launcher that can seriously damage/wound transports

# plush swift which airbrush?

An older Aztek airbrush.. My dad left this gem behind for me... But i'm currently searching the house where the air connectors could be... Witout them i can't check if the Airbrush still works 🤣

plush swift
#

testor aztec, right?

jaunty trail
#

My dad bought one in the early 2000's. He painted nearly any 1/35 scale WWII tank with it.. He also used that thing to paint a 1/35 F-16 Hornet in whole Tiger Meet Camo...

jaunty trail
plush swift
#

this is the only aztek airbrush I know of

#

and its umm

jaunty trail
#

@plush swift This one

plush swift
#

they were a controversial airbrush at the time

jaunty trail
#

I know... But they worked long for my dad...

plush swift
#

i think they are hilarious and ive been tempted to buy one for a review

jaunty trail
#

I also need to clean those needles again.. they still having a little paint crust from back in the days... so about 2012'ish XD.. my other Hobby and some other things in RL forced my dad to stop airbrushing before he went very sick and died.. so ye.. i primary want to try this one cuz i still own it and it has somekind of sentimental worth to me...

plush swift
#

they still make replacement fittings for it

#

weirdly enough

#

but they were also sort of universal parts with other airbrushes

jaunty trail
#

But before painting with this thing i want to test if it still works... the main brush is fully cleaned... The needles will be cleaned soonish... but without this *** connector there will be no function test...

plush swift
#

they arent the normal fittings, i think a lot of badger airbrushes use the same fittings though

jaunty trail
#

I will look through my stuff that dad left behind.. somerwhere they will be cuz he was a very sorted man... And if they are lost or so i will look for a replacement in the net ^^

Is there a way to unprime a miniature?

I don’t blame the primer

It’s me who thought it will be a good idea to prime them

proud glen

But before I will try it

#

Is there any ā€œspecificā€ one?

IPA and denatured alcohol will work in a pinch

but I dont know what you can get in your country unfortunately

Here’s some old work of mine

And a more recent project

Not my best work but it was built, and painted in a day

So does the dude holding the Guardsmen up. Damn good looking

Eyy! There's Gabe!

# slow saffron

i think i would die of fright if i were a guardsman on a battlefield

#

that or a commissar

#

that has to be the best nurgle knight i have ever seen

#

the only thing i could see missing is a large eye or two

#

@slow saffron A+

#

oh i just noticed the big fucking FOOT in place of a metal one

#

not to mention the poxwalker

slow saffron
glossy hawk
#

that goes so hard its unreal

#

what if you kitbashed poxwalkers and skitarii or servitors together @slow saffron

slow saffron
#

i want to one day

#

and make a big fly themed magos

slow saffron
#

one of these days ill continue the knight project

#

but the problem is sourcing them

#

i have made a vow

#

that ill only use the worst condition knights i can find

#

like that one was painted horribly, chest armor was breaking, bits missing, toes gone

#

bad pose

#

so i broke it up and replaced

summer sparrow
#

Don't hurt their feelings like that

#

But yes, lots of time

#

I'm almost done my Castigator/Acheron

#

Which will conclude my 1000 point army list

slow saffron
#

Prob not that much cheaper tbh either of I’m only buying bottom of the barrel knights

#

I got that one I showed for practically free

summer sparrow
#

I think resin cost of a Cerastus is like 10-12 bucks

slow saffron
#

(With the caveat that I’m not allowed to sell it)

#

Files cost money too

#

Also getting a printer

#

And I wouldn’t setting for a trashy printer

summer sparrow
#

I had the printer for making tabletop RPG minis already, and a better version of this printer is on sale ATM for like $140

#

And files were shared with me for free but even if not, I've hunted down the Creator to tip him and he only charged a few bucks

slow saffron
#

The one thing I might print

#

Is a warhound

summer sparrow
#

Have files for it

slow saffron
#

Unless I can get a real one

#

I’m sure there’s a warped one out there somewhere

summer sparrow
#

I'm considering printing a Warhound for a 3k list of Knights

#

Oh probably

slow saffron
#

I used to have a hierophant but I traded it since I didn’t play nids

summer sparrow
#

I will say though, printing a Warhound would take forever on my Mars 3, poked at the STLs and some things took nearly the whole print envelope

#

Like the Mars Bolt Cannons

slow saffron
#

I know my friend printed a phantom

#

And it wasn’t TOO long

summer sparrow
#

Phantom lacks chonk so you can stack up more things I think

slow saffron
#

I need to find my warhound plasma gun

#

Have one somewhere

summer sparrow
#

Small one is the bane blade variant's Megabolter

#

Big one is the Warhound bolter, I could maybe fit 2 on one print

slow saffron
#

It was going to be put in my baneblade

summer sparrow
#

All Baneblade main guns

#

And the sad proof that I can't print the version I have of the Baneblade, cause the track base is 1 piece and it too big

#

(red is out of envelope)

slow saffron
#

Reminds me I need to work on my wraithknight one day

#

It’s chopped up rn

#

And my tech priest

#

(Also chopped up)

summer sparrow
#

My goal ATM is do 1k and 2k of Knights

1k:
Acheron
2x Armiger Warglaive
1x Armiger Helverin
1x Noble Big Game Hunter (play as Vindicare)

2k:
Lancer
Castigator
2x Armiger Moirax
2x Armiger Warglaive
2x Armiger Helverin
1x Noble Big Game Hunter (play as Vindicare)

silver thorn
#

I'm not interested in playing knights or chaos knights

#

i just want to soup them

#

i feel like it makes the most sense lore wise

#

im def going to make a sororitas knight and i WANT to make a thousand sons knight or set of armigers

#

give them crow skulls for heads

brisk vapor
#

souping is fun but not very effective sadly, but at the same time I understand that it wouldn't be optimal to soup lists to benefits from both faction's rules to make a turbo soup list

#

I've got a Chaos Knight Abominant which I will probably never field in game for I can't be bothered to paint multiple knights nor do I have a chaos list to field it with

silver thorn
#

afaik soup is TERRIBLE in 10th edition and people are happy about that because apparently 8th edition was just hyper soupy and no one ran armies of a faction

#

detachment rules honestly seems a great system to me

brisk vapor
#

yes like mid 8th edition was pretty bad with overpowered soup lists

silver thorn
#

i think that chaos knights are fairly decent due souping to fill gaps in a roster

#

like tsons anti tank

#

but imperial knights are awful

#

cause their pv includes buffs from bondsmen

#

so they are overcosted... THEN they lose their special abilities

#

canis rex is pretty decent though and i plan to field one in my sororitas army as a tank killer

#

and when canis rex dies its pilot ejects as a lone operative

brisk vapor
#

what can he do

silver thorn
#

hes just a little dude whos a lone operative

brisk vapor
#

does he have OC?

silver thorn
#

mostly its the canis rex doesn't count as dead while he's alive

#

yea

#

so you can't score for killing rex until he dies

brisk vapor
#

oh really? So no Bring It Down towards him?

#

or what was it called in 10th

#

that sounds busted

silver thorn
#

canis rex is specifically designed to be the soup knight

#

and 0CP stratagem šŸ˜„

brisk vapor
#

oh okay so the canis rex will be counted as destroyed IN ADDITION to Hekhtur once he dies

silver thorn
#

critical on 5+

brisk vapor
#

First I thought it just ignores the death of the knight entirely

#

but it's nice still

silver thorn
#

lone operative is a really good keyword

#

so he can bail out and run somewhere or go score something

#

most of the things that kill a knight do it from far away

#

i want to do a conversion of him to be a sororitas styled pilot

#

like my knight serves the ecchlessiarchy and works with the sisters of battle enough to be covered in their iconography

#

put a sisters head on the pilot

brisk vapor
#

sounds good

silver thorn
#

its a bit down the line, but but after i get 2 squads of sisters done and my imagifier kitbashes done I'll probably do the knight or repentia next

#

then at some point i want to do Celestine and grayfax

#

so many things i can do haha

teal wolf
#

Good save

short pawn
#

Yeah unfortunately i haven't come up with a solution for temporary basing. I just use super glue and snap it off lol

#

I wanted to do a custom ruined city base for him but i also really wanted to play combat patrol

mint merlin
#

I just hold them in my hands while painting like a barbarian

#

for big miniatures at least

short pawn
#

Me too, I hate painting with their base attached.

#

Plus with walkers i can just hold them like a turkey leg....

mint merlin
#

smaller ones can hold on a piece of blu-tack on the base, and just remove it to paint the hard to reach areas

mint merlin
#

yummy plastic

#

goes well with your name I'd say

short pawn
#

I use the citadel painr holder but I have a couple hundred cheap temporary bases that I glue them too then tear them apart with my plastic cutters

mint merlin
#

you know, about the new sentinels
I painted one recently
and I was peeved because you can only have the legs be in one position, while you could do whatever you wanted with the old sentinels

#

Is it because it was a sentinel from a combat patrol box? or are all the new sentinels monopose?

short pawn
#

Yeah I think you only have one pose

#

Let me check my sentinel instructions one sec

#

Yeah you only get one pose but i guess you can just choose which leg is stepping forwards lol. Super lame!

mint merlin
#

it's something I noticed with the new models in recent years (or at least for astra militarum)
The poses are way more dynamic than before, but there's way less freedom in setting them up in the position you want

short pawn
short pawn
mint merlin
#

huh?

#

I remember the connections between legs and torso being very inconvenient so you had to fit them like the instructions said, not much freedom in turning their torsos one way or the other

short pawn
#

Some of their legs could be a hassle yeah and those could require cutting but you practically have free reign with the arms

#

Compared to other models at least, for my kriegers I had to cut into shoulders to get a better pose.

#

John Darktide

mint merlin
#

ooh

#

I like it

#

where's the helmet from?

short pawn
#

That's from the Cadian upgrade sprue, and the plasma arm is from the Cadian command squad

mint merlin
#

ah, I have yet still to paint the command squad

short pawn
#

Do you have an army or the combat patrol only?

mint merlin
#

I painted AM for a long time, but since they released the new models I only got the combat patrol

short pawn
#

Ahh gotcha, that's awesome. I still love their old models even if I'm new to the hobby and only painted a couple. Not sure if you've played any games but the combat patrol is SUPER fun

mint merlin
short pawn
#

I actually love that snow

#

And ngl the older sentinel pose looks way way better

mint merlin
#

well here's the thing, that's just one of the poses

#

this joint here could be moved up and down however you wanted

#

well, within limits, but still

short pawn
#

I see what ya mean now. Yeah that kinda blows to have a walker unit mono pose.

#

I can't say I'm a fan of the chainsaw arm either

mint merlin
#

Like you could have it step on elevated terrain or lower and it looks natural enough since the joint moves with the whole leg movement

short pawn
#

I wonder how hard it could be to try and get the current walker look like its running. I'll have to try it out with my next one

mint merlin
#

just the problem was that you had to glue and hold it while it dried once you had the position you wanted

#

or the sentinel just crumbled on its legs lol

mint merlin
short pawn
mint merlin
#

Someone did

#

but I think that's just the normal position, except it's glued at another angle at the connection with the sentinel's main body

#

And positions like this is why I preferred older models (not mine)

summer sparrow
#

whatcha guys think of this Yvraine proxy?

#

and of course, her Visarch

#

Also I'll never tire of proxy unit names

#

Not Grotesques, clearly, no these are just Gruesomes, they're a very unique thing

but other factions?

I mean there's plenty of Eldar, Guardsmen and even Tau

Eh, not too bad

not good enough for the price imo

#

Heroes Infinite I'll pay that much for their Aeldari but I think their Aeldari hit the mark decently

sometimes I just want heads or special weapons

without paying the price of a full squad + transport tax

I picked one up. It's still the finecast resin. It generally looks okay, but mine's Crozius was a bit floppy.

that does help, i know what im getting myself for Christmas i think now, thankyou

there is a way to reshape resin but i forgot how to, i ended up having to it on my Krieg comissar coz the sword has bent slightly

I do want Primaris Sanguinary Guard but I think some of the other non Space Marine Factions are more deserving of releases, like Drukhari are a faction that are in desperate need of some love, I think it's been almost five years since they've had a new model. Their latest release was for Killteam and it was just an upgrade sprue with some alternate special weapons for their existing troops and those special weapons weren't given any rules in 40k, GW just said to pretend they were the standard weapons.

sterile vector
#

unpopular faction moment unfortunately why make new models for them when they could just drop 4 space marines and make more money

ocean pendant
#

It's a bit of a viscious cycle though, they don't release new models for the Drukhari so they aren't as popular so they don't release new models for them

jaunty trail
#

Respecting the roadmap for 10th edition i think there will be dark angels/chaos previews

karmic coral
#

They did say something like new model reveals for each codex release this edition. It may not be a refresh, but everyone's gonna get some love.

#

Except my EC army without a codex so far.

jaunty trail
brisk vapor
#

well at least they promised that each faction will get a new release with the codex once it comes out so at least one new unit/updated sculpt for Drukhari as well

karmic coral
#

And fingers crossed it's this edition.

jaunty trail
karmic coral
#

They'll do it. EC is as popular as any of the other chaos legions. There's not really a reason why they wouldn't yet. It's just a matter of when their schedule let's them pull the trigger on it

put capes and hooded cannoness heads on them

sand off the aquila and put the inquisitorial seal on them

on the shields

and replace the power mauls with power swords

I think with hoods and capes they will look REALLY cool

oh yeah, i see the vision

it's got the SAUCE

the hooded cannoness heads are kino

and I used the helmeted version for mine

so I have an extra one, id just need to source another

sacresants also have GREAT hoods

i ordered some cheap extra sacresant hoods

I find myself suddenly reminded that i have actually painted something, Here be my Krieg Sergeant (i beleieve i painted him as serving under the 158th Regiment), before i decided to not go into bankruptcy and make a Blood angel army instead...

oo he looks very siege of vraks

light zenith
#

as in muddy, yeah. I often use weathering to hide my poor shading and highlighting, trying to not use such an easy shield on my astrates however

#

i lost the spare arm from Azrael, i cant do what i wanted with my Sergeant

#

gah

silver thorn
#

maybe you can find the bit online

#

im not trying to buy whole kits for like random specific parts and my research has had me find a lot of bit shops on ebay/etsy and other places

light zenith
#

nah it was a "i have this i might as well use it" sort of thing, i have the parts to finish the sergeant, just not quite how i had envisioned

#

i got the Death-Company sergeant as i wanted though, as i hadnt lost everything from Azrael

i cant get into SM because my favorite chapter isnt supported T_T

the totally not loyalist Thousand Sons chapter from Dawn of War

proud glen
#

No… It can’t be

light zenith
#

err counter point: has "blood" in their name. they are a BA successor

silver thorn
#

Its canonical that they dont know what their primarch is

#

and they dont suffer the black rage

#

(or the tsons mutations either, but they do have tons of psykers)

#

also their chapter master is usually also a psyker

#

which is unique among all SM chapters

light zenith
#

maybe they are just built different and dont care their dad died

silver thorn
#

no they care a lot

#

thats why they raid libraries a lot

#

honestly you could almost play gray knights as blood ravens lol

light zenith
#

im goofing, im convinced on the Tsons thing, i mean they have alot of pyskers, like you say,

#

MAGNUS DID NOTHING WRONG

light zenith
#

Prospero deserved it

you tayguhsihujijhgklajhsgokPIHAKLSJGHALSKGHLKAG

you take thgat back RIGHT NOW FUCKING SPCEAWOLVES AAAAAAA

light zenith
silver thorn
#

honestly Leman Russ ALSO did nothing wrong

#

they literally both got tricked by chaos

light zenith
#

oh yeah i forgor Horus just lied to Russ (?)

#

i think

silver thorn
#

yea it was just

#

a straight up trick

light zenith
#

idk if im misrembering

#

ok yeah i did remember

#

didnt the SOH just start killing civilians on propero for no desernable reason too

silver thorn
#

magnus was 100% loyal until leman russ murdered essentially one of the capital worlds of the entire imperium

#

well heres what happened

#

magnus said NOT TO FIGHT

#

and was willing to surrender to leman

#

his sons said no because the space wolves made it clear

#

they werent arresting him

#

they were there to kill him

#

they were SUPPOSED to arrest him

#

thats what the emperor wanted

#

Horus lied to Leman and the fleet which had sisters of silence and custodes

light zenith
#

wouldnt have happened if the other red boys got sent

silver thorn
#

that it was an exterminatus

light zenith
#

they simply would not have made a mistake

silver thorn
#

Sanguinus would not have let that happen

#

but he was with roboute and the lion on macragge at that time

#

leman had PROBABLY already killed 2 other primarchs at that point...

#

so he was like okay this is just my job

light zenith
silver thorn
#

basically Horus is truly a scumbag

#

and ruined everything

#

and isnt even remotely sympathetic

#

horus apologists dont even try

light zenith
#

yeah, never trust bald men

#

especially not a guy who names his legion after himself

#

huge red flag tbh

light zenith
silver thorn
#

I really love the HH books about magnus and the tsons and I love the idea of loyalist tsons

#

and I never realized the blood ravens are essentially written that way till recently

#

so now Im a bigger fan of them lol

light zenith
#

i mean the Tsons where loyal until Horus just started scheming

silver thorn
#

yea its really sad. The Burning of Prospero is a gut wrenching book

#

the initial stand off between the imperial fleet and the defenses of prospero is really crazy

#

magnus sent his entire fleet away and turned off all orbital defenses

#

because he just wanted to surrender

#

but when the imperial fleet was just there to commit total genocide the legion refused to surrender against magnus' wishes

#

the description of the orbital bombardment is crazy

#

the psychic and void shields of prospero protected this city while the rest of the planet was basically liquified

light zenith
#

i mean, in the defence of the legion, if a guy is shooting at me and just destroyed my house, im probably not gonna want to surrender despite what my dad tells me to do

silver thorn
#

There are so many scenes in that book that capture 30k tsons so well

#

like there is a warhound titan pilot who is an astartes

#

and hes a pyromancer

#

and he basically turns into a chaos spawn IN the titan

#

and merges with its machine spirit

#

and just goes beserk with magical warpflame

#

theres another tsons sorcerer who turns into a chaos spawn and kills a ton of space wolves before he has a sudden moment of clarity like

#

Oh shit this is what ive become

#

and just allows himself to be obliterated by bolter fire

#

I know a lot of people dont like HH but to me it captures everything thats good about 30k

light zenith
#

im a big fan of the HH, well to like read about, im not a fan of the heresy

thats my opinion at least
