hey so i really wanna get into the tabletop game, how would i go about finding out what army would be my fav/playstyle

[ocean surge]

Bricky's faction video is pretty good for giving the basics of the vibe of each.

[sick ledge]

There is a TTS discord and people on there can show you how to play

I dont have a link as im not in it

[hushed halo]

ok i just know i am VERY new but i love the lore so i wanna get into it

[floral wind]

The Golden Throne

[plush swift]

The squad is almost done

[oblique socket]

considering i'm pretty sure Magnus was built to power the Golden Throne, i certainly hope Big E was nice enough to install a toilet

.... do primarchs poop? i genuinely don't know

[wide agate]

Love me Stormcast Eternals

[plush swift]

I'm actually using them as Sagittarium Custodes. Hence why the crossbows have the cross part removed.

And why they're in the Solar Watch colour scheme

[wild hazel]

I need one

I got the crusader but I want the one with lasers

[faint star]

I wanna slash nuln oil on him but at the same time I don't

[plain violet]

Don't slash any oil on him. I think a purple or pink shade would look much better

[faint star]

I do have Drucii violet

[visual turret]

actually dying, what on earth is GW's new Logo

[plush swift]

New logo?

[faint star]

It's just for corporate from what I can find

[broken kayak]

Love the choice to leave the crossbow arms off

Just saw your later message lol, good stuff

[odd pollen]

desire to paint the interior intensifies

[dawn stream]

That's why I assembled it the way I did

I'm gonna paint the interior first then fit it together like a puzzle piece

[fast merlin]

Weird question

What do you think an Ogryn might need reminding of often?

[dawn stream]

Reloading

[toxic rampart]

Son and I are building a tank. Still working on the Baneblade, but he was a bit intimidated by it.

[odd pollen]

honestly assuming you arent dealing with a bone head with enhanced thinking you could expect to have to remind them of things as simple as which way to go and why? 'to find the emperors enemies of course!'

think a child asking the same questions in the car over a long journey

[odd pollen]

that metalic blue is a really nice colour actually

also yeah baneblades can be intimidating for adults even lol

[toxic rampart]

Gunmetal Blue. He picked it out.

[dawn stream]

That's brilliant

[odd pollen]

like a kid writing cheats on the back of their hand before going into an exam

[fast merlin]

One last one

[wild hazel]

simple as

[strong saddle]

You can do it! Also they’re easy to dry fit multiple variants without magnetization

Here’s mine

[strong saddle]

This is awesome. I don’t have the kind of precision to write legibly on their shields

That looks really good!

Got my new Minka Lesk finished just in time for the start of my crusade! Also first attempt at a nmm sword which def needs improvement but I’m happy with it!

Those big Easter egg mugs are the best thing to happen to me. Mine conveys my morning buckets worth of coffee

[rare hornet]

It is an ancient relic, used for the rites of painting

[lyric nimbus]

My paint pot is this. I’d be impressed if people knew what this is from.

[rare hornet]

Is that from TinTin?

[lyric nimbus]

Extra points if you name the character

[rare hornet]

No chance there, been absolutely years since I’ve seen one of those

I remember the art style, but not much else

[lyric nimbus]

I have a soft spot for TinTin, found some official merch including that mug in a store the other day

[rare hornet]

I think the last time I saw anything related to that in person was… 2012?

[lyric nimbus]

I love the tintin film

[compact umbra]

any texture paint suggestions for a moon?

[golden night]

i read enough belgian comics as a kid to recognize tintin any day

[clear finch]

Albeit "cartoonish" with my chrrent sculpting skills and computer ability, would grotesque style helmets fit with a sort of feudal world theme. Or should i lean into something more monstrous.

I intend to run a hose from the mouth to that round bit on the back, then mount an oxygen pack on the back of the torso

[plush swift]

Isn't this from the broons

Oop way off

[rare hornet]

Little more work today, done some work on the weapons and got the helmet sorted

[plush swift]

Carcharadons maybe? At least that's what the colour scheme and sword screams
Personality wise though, that's more difficult...

[plain violet]

Is that Guts from Berzerk or another big sword guy I don't know?

[wispy summit]

Yup, it is. Saw a staggering amount of crossover minis/art for Guts in 40k as an Astartes so I thought I'd ask hahaha

[plain violet]

I seee

I'd say 100% World Eaters tbh

The chain by chance?

Also thank you unfortunately none of the crosses I had fit the bolter so I had to think outside the box

[quartz rain]

Yes the chain! I have a similar set of transfers from the arbites box, but I don't see many examples online on how they apply the chain transfers

Which do we like better?

[urban drum]

the white and blue has better contrast

the green and dark blue have the same value so its not as interesting

[thorny vapor]

I think I agree

This was the first one I did with the green but a buddy said to try white in the corner slices

[brisk vapor]

Yeah the shoulder part is almost finished I reckon so the rest of the metallics ought to be similar

[faint star]

[faint star]

I'm having a strange difficulty with wanting to shade these guys and I'm not really sure why

Usually I'm pretty liberal with shade paints but I do some raveners and I sit here like "idk"

"My lobster's too buttery! My steak is too juicy!" STOP COMPLAINING YOU WHINER!THEY LOOK GREAT

[fickle inlet]

Why are they yellow though

[golden night]

you cropped out the price

[short pawn]

Dark green doesn't really read that well on dice

[vernal haven]

I didn't, the person on Reddit did

[golden night]

you will be executed by proxy

[vernal haven]

Fire obviously

Cuz they like burning thing

[golden night]

fire is red

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-ogryn-run-naked-funny-gif-18082679885906165021

You can't catch me

[fickle inlet]

it does when indents are bright

[golden night]

a naked ogryn covered in grease on the loose is actually a nightmare scenario

[vernal haven]

Yeah if you sprinkle lithium chloride on it

But normally its orange and yellow

[golden night]

i have never felt more confident in using the nerd emoji

[vernal haven]

Keep doing it I love it

[fickle inlet]

i mean, i guess. one step too many for my taste, in terms of choosing colours at least. salamanders are know for burning things and having green armor, so why choose the thing that's not about colour?

green dice with fire-coloured indents would look better imo

[vernal haven]

https://tenor.com/view/star-gif-16789607377123159596

[fickle inlet]

see space wolf dice

[short pawn]

I have dark green dice with white pips and its still hard for me to see at a glance

And when you're rolling a handful of dice you need to be able to see them quickly

[golden night]

i like metalic dice

i bought some custom gold and black metal ones at a con

[fickle inlet]

would be more visible with more red pips

[vernal haven]

Also people in the comments of that post were saying it'll make the dice easier to see amongst all the green marines

[fickle inlet]

point is its certainly possible to make good looking green dice

[golden night]

i can also kill somebody with those metal dice

they are sharp

[fickle inlet]

salamanders got the short end of the stick then i guess

[short pawn]

Space marines never get the short end of any stick please rot

[golden night]

they do all the time

they barely got any releases during the last stream

only 5 named characters

[short pawn]

I almost got ragebaited

The hairs on my arm began to dance in a fury

[vernal haven]

I mean personally I'm happy for anything

Salamanders finally getting something

[fickle inlet]

well dark angels kept their green dice. in the sense that one of the "green" chapters had to not be green, and it was salamanders, they were the unlucky ones

also grow up

[fickle inlet]

what colour is at the top

[short pawn]

White pips and bad dice

[fickle inlet]

looks fine to me

[golden night]

does GW sell pre loaded dice

so i can skip the complicated process of loading all my dice

[short pawn]

Their dice are so bad they are pretty much loaded

[fickle inlet]

and more importantly, stylistically obviously dark angel. the only thing salamander about the salamander dice is the icon

[short pawn]

Baron of Dice is the way to live

[golden night]

buy small artist dice

some people carve dice it's awesome

[short pawn]

Pretty sure thats also the old one

[fickle inlet]

yeah

[short pawn]

And if we are bringing up old dice salamanders had green ones so go play with that or something

[golden night]

they should make dice out of actual fire

[fickle inlet]

if the argument is that the new ones are bad then i agree

[short pawn]

I mean look at them

[vernal haven]

I'm still gonna buy the new dice, I like them

[short pawn]

Theyre also like 32 bucks for 16

[fickle inlet]

the most egregious thing about gw dice is still the price

youd think they are made of actual ivory

[golden night]

go to small artists!!!

artisanal dice are awesome and somehow cheaper despite being hand made

[short pawn]

I get my dice off esty and Baron

My cadian dice are unironically cursed though

They've killed more of my plasma gunners than they've killed stupid votann

Max damage armored Sentinel plasma hazard roll by the way like what the fuck

[vernal haven]

Also I just remembered the new dice look like the salamander's badab era color scheme

Same two colors

[sick ledge]

I have several hundred artisanal dice and I don't use them because they all roll like shit.

It's really disappointing.

Most of them are super unbalanced, especially the resin core dice

[golden night]

that's a skill issue on the craftsman

nothing more to say

[sick ledge]

This is more than just one Craftsman.

It's almost all of them have really awful balancing

I just stick with chessex now

The resin core ones are really bad as well. I'm able to trick shot twenties on the d20 all the time, great for screwing over my players, bad for fairness.

[golden night]

same applies to all of them who have not managed to get weight distribution well

of course it's hard to replicate machine accurate dice weight distributionr

but even with machines there's a ton of variability that makes some dice better than others

my custom dice are great, no problems

[sick ledge]

I have yet to find a single cool dice that is actually good and rolls random. But then again I also deal with a store that bans all the fun dice

We've had too many counts of cheating from resin dice

So it's basically chessex or chessex

And yes most of that was for me.

I'm not allowed at 40k events for 2 more years lol

[wild hazel]

I haven’t actually played the game. Too many sweatlords

[fickle inlet]

It depends on exactly where you're playing, but it's really not that bad

I mean, sure, you'll lose a lot at first, but it's still fun

[wild hazel]

I mean they stink and their minis are unpainted meta chasers

I had observed them in their habitat

I’d go to an official games workshop store but it mainly seems to be mothers and children being sold premium priced plastic crack

[fickle inlet]

I guess you're just unlucky with your place. Everybody in my club is a perfectly normal person

[wild hazel]

They might also not like how much I kitbashed

[fickle inlet]

All I'm saying is give it a try. You'll most likely find that the "might not like" things you're thinking about are not particularly serious

Don't believe everything you read on the internet, there's selection bias. The stories you are more likely to read are the more outrageous ones, by design. I'm not saying annoying smelly nerds don't exist, but they are in fact the minority

[wild hazel]

Alright I may do one day

How table legal is ERA

(It was me I am the problem)

"lord of poxes"

cant lead poxwalkers

[plush swift]

Who can actually lead poxwalkers outside of Typhus?

Or is it just him? (would make sense, since he created the walking pox)

[odd pollen]

The ERA should be fine since it looks like you scratch made them yourself, same as any other things you kitbash or scratch build from cut up GW models, plasticard, greenstuff, miliput etc

The only real red line to look out for with GW run events are using 3rd party models and pieces

this is all for GW tournament standards atleast, i think whats allowed at your local GW shop can depend on the guy running the store, and any other local game store or tournament not hosted by GW can care a lot less about these things

Does a primer base coat color matter if my painting style is mostly layering?

I've been priming black but im wondering if maybe grey will make my life easier

[prime crown]

Yes. Especially if you do layers.

The prime coat dictates if the paint will be brigher or darker, even in full coverage, also with darke colors, its more forgiving with shadows.

[prime crown]

It all depends on how do you want to paint it

For models with bright color schemes, its good idea to go for bright grey or white, if you are aiming for grim colors, go for dark grey or black. For warmer colors, brown is also good idea for base coat.

[short pawn]

I like layering a lot and messy highlights, but the initial base coating can be really frustrating with the black paint being difficult to cover up

I usually do warm colors I'll definitely consider brown

[prime crown]

Try different color paint, I often use grey seer primer

[short pawn]

I gave away my grey seer because I was also struggling with coverage. But I've gotten a lot better

[prime crown]

Brown is also good but I dont know if there is good brown primer, people usually paint things with primer and apply brown manually

[short pawn]

How about a zenithal highlight with Grey seer/chaos black?

[prime crown]

You know what works for me well? Mechanicus standard grey from GW. Here's my colour scheme I do with it, its much brighter than what I usually paint

[short pawn]

I absolutely love those fatigues

[prime crown]

You can do that too.

[prime crown]

I use darker primer for it but the end it ends up quite bright. But honestly, it depends on what you are paining?

And whats the color scheme

[short pawn]

I kinda just paint everything. Right now im painting previously primed chaos black Orks and Thousand Sons, and rn im trying to decide how to prime my Halo Elite

[prime crown]

And feel free to ask your local lsg or hobbyst if they can prime one model for you in different primers to find what would work for you.

[short pawn]

Thats a great idea my lgs is beyond friendly

[prime crown]

What color schemes exactly?

[short pawn]

For my sangheli im trying to do their lore accurate colors. So a bright bluish purple, a vibrant red, and a white

[prime crown]

For red and white, you can actually go for some sandy primer, I think that could work.

[short pawn]

Yeah I was thinking about doing a Zandri Dust spray for the white i thought it sounded good

[prime crown]

Warm red would be really good on zandri dust or maybe skeleton horde kind of colour. And white, you can easily build up sandy to grey and grey to off-white (no way to paint white without massive hassle)

[short pawn]

Thats awesome to know, I really didn't wanna have to buy a primer

[prime crown]

Purple... well, for purple, you could actually try and use metallic primer. With metallic and then purple contrast, you might even achive this kind of metallic-bug like carapace the purple sangheli have

[prime crown]

No problem. Alternative always is airbrush but you gotta ask yourself if its worth investing so much if you don't paint much.

[short pawn]

God I would love an airbrush, maybe one day. I appreciate the sage advice though!

[prime crown]

Always happy to help 🫡

[visual turret]

Not sure on the armour colour choice…..

[sinful jetty]

Sum shiny

[short pawn]

Damn I forgot how grainy Grey seer can be

[plain violet]

Wogawobaga

[short pawn]

My zenithal actually went so wrong idk what to do

[plain violet]

Would odorless paint thinner damage the minis?

[limber vessel]

Fuzzy elite

[odd pollen]

something like white/mineral spirits? It can if you submerged plastic models for a long time yes, specifically it can temporarily soften the plastic making it easier to accidentally deform or soften details (or outright melt if left long enough) but its generally the least aggressive thinner and best suited for modelling

people use white spirits on models for all sorts of techniques using oils and enamel paints without melting their models, might be worth watching a few videos of people using oils and enamels if you want to be more informed

if you were hoping to strip paint with it id suggest looking up using Isopropyl alcohol instead

[short pawn]

Is it safe to strip paint from a PVC mini using simple green?

[odd pollen]

not tried personally but maybe?

[odd pollen]

found a video testing it, seems to work well! https://youtu.be/OqBjt1wKZfc?t=623

[short pawn]

Oh sweet, thank you! Google wasn't that helpful

[odd pollen]

if in doubt, test on sprue

[steel moon]

where i can post my quar vehicles and miniatures

[short pawn]

Do you guys think I should just strip these or what?

Because it was 100 degrees outside when I sprayed so it was definitely just user error. Why the fuck is it 100 degrees at 6 PM bro

Irritates the hell out of me how I can only prime during the fucking witch hour

[odd pollen]

if you were depending on the base coat to carry the paint job because youre using contrasts or something then maybe? otherwise with regular paints the zenithal acts more as a shading guide and maybe only faintly shows through the finished look

[short pawn]

I lean more into a layering/highlight look so I should be fine by that criteria

[odd pollen]

it could be worth pushing through with a test model, no pressure if you make any more mistakes to learn from because you already planned to strip it, and if the end result turns out nice then maybe the mistake wasnt that big of a deal after all

[odd pollen]

really nice free handing on this one

[short pawn]

Very true, I'm hoping for the best

It is currently still 82 degrees at 9 PM and I still cannot prime my miniatures

[limber vessel]

I made a tiny person

[ivory pike]

First time I've painted in years, not quite done yet, but... thoughts?

[thorny vapor]

Does anyone know if these old upgrade sets fit the newer plastic contemptor dread?

[short pawn]

Ok im just convinced that my Grey seer is bad

I did this at night time where the tempature and humidity is lower, I sprayed the same way I do with every other primer and all my other primers come out perfect

[prime crown]

Primera are… works of mystery. If the planets are missaligned, they will do that. Try it on sprue from different distances

[prime crown]

Does it have grainy texture?

[short pawn]

Yeah it does. Not as bad but still the same as my past 2 attempts

Its frying my brain because ive never had this issue before with primers

All 3 attempts have little to alot of grain

Im just hoping to everything its not too visible after I get some paint on it

[prime crown]

Shaked it well? It probably is also 100% superstition but I also wash my rattlecan with warm water

[short pawn]

Ive never washed mine but yeah I shake my cans for 5+ minutes usually

[prime crown]

And if anything, you always get access to simple green

[brisk vapor]

This is just how almost any white or light colour rattle can works

getting a smooth zenithal with a rattle can is near impossible

[lyric swan]

I give it a WAAAAGH/10

[short pawn]

Wait really?

My friend was telling me that its likely just looking like that because its the primer on primer texture and its fine

[brisk vapor]

It's not grainy texture yeah the paint particles just land so far apart from oneanother for a nice gradient

[ivory pike]

How would you improve it? Besides finishing the unpainted bits

[lyric swan]

Honestly idk, I’ve never painted Orks

Just go with what you think looks cool, it’s your mini after all

[wild hazel]

Name the trio

[prime crown]

Dude, where's my rihno?

[rare hornet]

He’s got a gun

[wild hazel]

I thought I was the only one who would snip the scope off and attach it to the picatinny rail

Fren

[rare hornet]

Well technically in this case he is one of the levithan sternguard, so that's how he comes

[wild hazel]

Oh…

[rare hornet]

Yeah, push to fit

[wild hazel]

I’ll keep searching for someone with my exact mental illness then

Need help

I got Iron Warriors Base Paint and Dawnstone (For Armor and Helmet). I use grey see for the gas mask and are these paints accurate for the Darktide krieg skin?

[viral chasm]

This is the reference I used for picking my paints

A wee bit lighter however I don’t think anyone outside of official tourney’s are going to gaf

[deep fjord]

thanks but I mostly wanted to accurate paint the Darktide skins

I painted the Elysians For aquilons

I wish we get Elysians instead of Aquilons

[viral chasm]

Oh I misread what you said my bad

[short pawn]

I really dont understand the purpose of zenithal highlighting if you aren't using contrast paints or an airbrush

[faint star]

I believe there isn't a purpose if you're not using them

[short pawn]

Damn and to think i unnecessarily made everything harder because I fell for miniature painter propaganda

Ruined my otherwise perfectly primed minis

Lesson learned!

[ionic kite]

I need to figure out how to shade yellow without it looking like a mud dive

I like the grime though

Tbh this whole set is a mess

But it's my second set altogether do I guess I should be less harsh on myself lol

At least it is kind of uniform

'cept for the white highlighted dhse that ones my wife's

[faint star]

You picked one of the hardest colours and did great

Be proud of yourself my friend

[ionic kite]

you really think that?

thats nice to hear lol

i mean, it IS straight up yellow over gray primer

this one figurine i tried drybrushing pink all over as the undercoat

and it worked great but i had to fix my mistakes from bad brush control and i kind of lost that orange'y hue in most areas

im most proud of that bolt gun though

[sinful jetty]

All I’d say is try to get the inside edges on the pauldron to have it all look equally worn but it looks fantastic

Yellow is baller

[ionic kite]

i might go over before i do the last figurine and fix it up

im trying to find a healthy way to wash these minis

without so much coffee staining

i reckon im gonna do my next imperial fists with contrast instead of straight up yellow acrylics however

[sinful jetty]

Really just target the recesses in the joints rather than going entirely over would be my guess

[ionic kite]

im planning to do more accurate shading on my next minis

i take it as a 'learning experience'

really hammer it into my head what happens when you go overboard

at least the streaky grimey look i find enjoyable

and its not hard to have fists pop because yellow contrasts really well with pretty muhc anything

to me at least

in anyway i could've fucked up worse on my second ever set

[sinful jetty]

I prefer my fellas worn to hell and back but that’s just me

[ionic kite]

yeah these guys need a go-over with a pressure washer lol

love the red plasma

i tried a green one on my aquilons

and it looks kinda silly lol

that whole set was a real exploratory experience

but i did get it down in the end i think

they're not boring

[sinful jetty]

I just didn’t have blue lol but I do think the red looks cooler

[sinful jetty]

I wanna try doing a more glowing effect but I just don’t know how without those fancy-schmancy airpainters. I would guess to dry brush probably

[sinful jetty]

That’s sick holy

[ionic kite]

ive seen glazes over white coils used to great effect

[sinful jetty]

Might get some proper white and try that, I currently only got wraithbone lol

[ionic kite]

i mean im not an expert by any stetch i've barely dipped my fingers into this mini painting shebang

i do watch a lot of vince venturella though lol

i've heard of and seen glazes used for glows

but i guess you can go ez mode and use glow paint

army painter has a plasma coil glow technical paint that i believe is fluorescent under uv light

[sinful jetty]

Trust me I started with just a pack of intercessors at the beginning of July, now I’ve got orks and kriegsmen to build n paint, rest of hellblasters and necrons

[ionic kite]

thats sick bro

im playing aorund with kill teams because the like the idea of being able to easy play a whole game should it ever happen

low chance but im getting around to it slowly

i am tempted to do age of sigmar next

maybe skaven

anything bestial would be cool

but, hell

[sinful jetty]

My very first mini vs my more recent fellas

[ionic kite]

if games workshop ever decides to drop an exodite kill team i'd go for that

i mean fucking dinosaurs with canons

its really hard to top

[sinful jetty]

I wanna start building chaos marines n such but I’ve already got a bunch I need to work with so I gotta hold off a bit lmaoo

[ionic kite]

yeah i get that

after i finished the night lords omnibus the nemsis claw set started looking really appealing

i would definitely hate painting the fleshy capes n shit lol

[sinful jetty]

I def wanna acquire green stuff at some point so I can make cloth stuff, but also cause I keep seeing people here post chaos mutations n shi using it,, looks awesome

[sinful jetty]

^That’s also it I wanna get a bit better at painting fleshy tones, starting to get metals n stuff down a bit

[ionic kite]

id love to paint some fur or fur adjacent surfaces

im kind of tired of flat panels of the marines

(especially since i keep overwashing them)

[visual bolt]

[sick ledge]

Fun fact about UV reactive colors. They fade very quickly and hobby companies put fluos into their for this reason.

[tiny cairn]

Is all that stuff just a fad/video fodder type thing or is there an alternative that is longer lasting?

[sick ledge]

I wouldnt call it a fad or video fodder as people genuinely do enjoy the colors, but there is no real alternative to some of them. Some of them have very good alternatives. Yellows and oranges have stable ones as an example, but the rest of the colors dont really have them

The yellow you wont find anywhere other than safety equipment currently and the orange is just po43 perinone orange, you can find it from some artist acrylic brands

sometimes listed as vat orange

[tiny cairn]

Is that just like a desire/demand thing or like a pigment quality that makes it not possible for certain colors

[sinful jetty]

Cleannnnnn

[wild hazel]

Too clean imo. I feel like you need hue shifts in the darker areas towards red. And leave the brightest yellow for the highest points

[sinful jetty]

Looks like a Joytoy figurine but I dig it

[rare hornet]

to be fair, the camera does not like the white armour, and kinda shits the bed a little

Got it to focus on the white instead of the yellow this time

[sinful jetty]

I just really like how you did the eye visors, a nice eyeliner like outline

the little bits of yellow paint on the tactical rock set off my OCD… but otherwise, really good job!

[rare hornet]

I haven’t decided on what to do for the bases yet, that’s why it’s like that for now

[mint dove]

Like a hyperfixation phoenix I rise from the ashes and return to this godforsaken hobby once more

[sick ledge]

its more of a physics thing

the more a pigment interacts with UV the more its atoms move which causes color loss

or something like that

have you tried them yet?

[vernal haven]

That's not an option for me rn so its just easier for me to get a replacement bottle

[merry wedge]

ah I see

[mint dove]

Yknow I find it weird GW didnt do a ton for Rogue trader miniature wise, like Darktide got its own stand alone board game release and Space marine 2 got captian titus and its own boxed release as well as a mode in kill team,

I would have eaten up a rogue trader theme kill team

THAT ARENT STARSTRIDERS, ill make that clear

[quartz rain]

what do you mean by rogue trader themed kt if not the rogue trader entourage then

[mint dove]

Im not a huge fan of the star striders, none of their models really pop except for the death cult one

[ionic kite]

Kitbashed the motm a bit

Now to decide what to paint

[ionic kite]

Friend suggested salamanders and I think it might just work

Also i gotta say that grenade smoke is the coolest shit ever

[silver thorn]

paying GW price on characters feels especially wrong to me

thats more than an entire squad of some kits costs

I don't wanna wait for them to go on sale somewhere else

Whats a good way to thin my paints

[sick ledge]

With distilled water, tap water makes it crack after a few years

The secret is, just moisten your brush. That's thin enough when you're just starting out.

[wispy summit]

as a custodes main, i feel you sibling

[cold imp]

Also a custodes main and i agree

[mossy quest]

Good start, but that yellow went down thick and sloppy and you lost detail because of it. You need to water down your paints and apply them slower, in multiple layers, with more precision. Additionally, I would recommend 3 different shades for each color you add to a model. Start with a base color, add a darker oil to settle into the corners and recessed areas, then dry brush a lighter color to highlight the raised areas. And for very intricate, highly detailed models, it's best to try and paint the model unassembled.

So after coming back to the hobby and busting out my old citadel paints I've decided to migrate away from the range, even though some are less than a year old they dont keep, at all, some like abbadon black became a solid block of pigment and some like deepkin flesh and wraithbone became a clunpy gloopy mess no matter how much I shake them. This weekend im stopping at a store that has paints from a huge range, but what im specifically interested in is pro acryl, ive used their ivory, bold titanium white, and dark silver and I LOVE the coverage they provide, from anyone who's used them before what are some other pro acryl paints I should pick up?

WIP

[vernal haven]

Building an eradicator unit and I'm planning to build the sergeant as the variant where he's looking at the wrist screen as shown here. I want to paint a glow effect later to simulate the light from the screen, and I also want to try some zenith priming with this model. I know most people spray their primer from above when doing that, but in my case, would it make more sense to do a zenith prime in the direction that the light from the screen would be shining?

[brisk vapor]

you'd probably want the display to not be the only source of light I reckon? In that case just do an overall zenithal and do a separate effect from the display afterwards

[vernal haven]

Thank you

I wish there were more ork kill teams, I sold my wrecka krew a few months back. I may buy them again just to paint them again

[unborn flame]

Aren't there like 3

There's 2, and I think only the astra militarum has more

[mint dove]

I think there's only 2 right now . Kommandos and wrecka krew

I think the count right now is orks have 2, eldar have 3, drukhari have 2, votann have 2, chaos has 5, imperium has 5, astartes have 3, chaos marines have 4, GSC have 2, admech have 2, tau have 3,Guard has 4, tyranids have 1, necrons have 1

So how much does it matter what weapons i put on squads like, should I be giving almost all my Pathfinders one weapon type or?

[unborn flame]

Depends. Some squads I would all gove the same weapon, but others I would give the variations

[unborn flame]

It also really doesn't matter. If someone doesn't allow you to use one weapon, even if the model has one of the other options, they're not worth playing in my opinion

WYSIWYG is BS

I have a 10 man space marine scout squad where like 7 have unique weapons, so just use them however you want

[unborn flame]

T'au are so cool. T'au hate is forced

[unborn flame]

Based, bought the Necron patrol next week, but they're not fully painted yet since I'm not at home

[cloud cave]

waiting him for game 😭 🙏

[regal nexus]

I have yet to actually play but I hear Rail Rifles are pretty damn scary

[unborn flame]

Sneeze on it and it'll be perfect

[cloud cave]

[regal nexus]

I heard they can one shot terminators which is really funny

[unborn flame]

Me watching as my Imperial Knight gets vaporised from 72" away by a T'au rail cannon

[unborn flame]

If you roll well they can kill much bigger targets than that

Never had the pleasure of playing against T'au before, but I love the goofy little blue fish bovine mashups

[regal nexus]

Idk why people keep calling them fish they have basically zero fish like features

Aside from being blue

[unborn flame]

Literally all their stuff is named after aquatic animals

[regal nexus]

Their vehicles are but just because the Covenants vehicles are named after ghosts and stuff doesn't mean they're ghosts

[round bloom]

Well they are scary to normal people so yes they are

And can dissapear

[unborn flame]

I find them hot ngl

[unborn flame]

I'm a xenos sympathiser, sue me

[round bloom]

I mean the elites fair enough but the others

[unborn flame]

Lmaoo I thought we were still talking about T'au💀

My statement still stands though

[round bloom]

Yeah I gathered it would considering they both look like fish

Ugly

Stupid

Probably blue

[unborn flame]

I'm falling for the propaganda bro, I can't lie

[round bloom]

The propaganda makes them look like herobrine

[round bloom]

Most sane command block creation

[unborn flame]

I think the only way to live a remotely safe and prosperous life in the 40k universe is to either be born as nobility or defect to the T'au

I could not care less about the brainwashing, at least I won't have to live on an Imperium planet

[round bloom]

Anyway peak army (half the marines are being worked on)

[unborn flame]

What chapter?

[round bloom]

Ultramarines

Wanted to make the army be able to go along with my first marine

[unborn flame]

They're very dark blue, I kinda dig it

[round bloom]

Macragge blue in yellow light

Looks quite nice

[unborn flame]

Alligns more with the 30k look for the Ultra Marines

[round bloom]

They are a lot brighter in normal light

[unborn flame]

And we all know 30k astartes have way more drip than 40k ones

[round bloom]

Almost none of those are actually fully painted
