I'm trying
I want to paint a Noise Marine, a larger Tyranid figure, a Solitaire, etc.
Building up a ton of shit but not painting it makes me sad.
Noise Marine I'm stoked to paint though. We're gonna do it with Black Metal corpse paint.
Uhm... Unsure if i should get the newspaper or the flamer
You should get the lube
ah, heroes of the Slabnasium of the Quivering Isles
Wooow. That paintjob looks incredible!
Thats not mine sadly
Im not that good at painting
Cant wait to share with you guys Gaunt Ghosts and the new Cadian sprues though
I think those are a printable stl file or something
Plasmancer again, this time with his Igors
Nice
Can you still get those off the indegogo page
Can't seem to find a A Ferrum Infernus Dreadnought 😦
Gameplay for total warhammer 3 at 5 uk time if anyone is interested
Damn I'm at work when that gets shown off
There’s a countdown on their Twitch
Main Turret and side lascannons and front twin heavy bolter done and leaving the main chassis to do
What contrast paint did u use for the main colour?
None I used zandri dust spray with a wash of agrax and dry brushed with tyrant skull
Thats one big tonk
Baneblad
It’s like a dirty silver color, I like it
Spoopy Ghosts
I'm still building my astra minis...Holy shit I fucked the Leman Russ up on the tracks so bad...
I mean the tank itself is very simple to make an I think msot are
But like tiny things like tracks where you need a doctors hand to fit it in
That stuff I hate.
Not mine but these be some cool conversions
Bottom right will haunt my nightmares
Diz dakka iznt gunna thrakka itzelf.
A fuckton
Funny clip from the very talented Bill wurtz
took a proper look at W&G now and i think i found where the issue some people have with it lays
but also
its a super customisable tabletop
so if you dont want players to have too much gear or powerful talents, just say no
nipple based steering
lmao
New definition to 'ride or die'
ride and die
That doesn't look like Doomrider
no burning skull or single bike or extreme amounts of white powder
No, its not Doom rider.
And killing a titan isn't even out of Doomriders skills
but I only recall there being an Ork who did it
Wazdakka Gutsmek with his trusty Bike of the Aporkalypse
ye that'll work
Dude is hardcore to the point where he can travel from one galaxy to the other

boi just want to go fazta
When you steer with your nipple chains
Im new and im gonna be frank, ive had an intrest in 40k, ive never played, is the new starter set a good one for beginers?
Its different for everyone. But you can just buy a few minis of ones you like the look of. Remember, you're probably gonna be with them for awhile, so you might as well like the minis you're putting together and painting
hey have any of you heard of Black anchor minis? Im tempted to sign up for their subscription but idk if they are legit
The starter box is a great start for wanting to get into the tabletop game of warhammer 40k
The Indomitus box
designing maps for W&G
A scummy little inn for the party to start their adventure att
Never heard they madem
I know theres some in novels
Mmmhh
Well, expand on this pls, i was, and still am, interested in your POV regarding it
Oh, and even @edgy cipher pls, i'm interested in hearing (reading to be precise but eh) what you think of W&G
I haven't played W&G yet so I cannot say, I did read the rules however, from what I gather, its a solid system easy to manipulate but that lacks a bit of depth.
There aren't much mechanics or feats etc that truly change a character's way of playing, the only ones that comes to me are the ones for charisma based character like Gallows Humour
So you think that the dice pool system is good or at least decent enough?
I find it too swingy in my opinion
Good thing the game gives you a lot of rerolls or dice manipulation like Wrath or Glory dies
Then again I come from 3.5 when its easy to reach +20 in a skill before level 12 and then choose the action (always do 10).
Same
A rpg where, if you are good in something you'll almost guaranteed to have success in it.
I've saw streams of people playing W&G, having the max 12 dice in a skill check and get a 1 and a complication
Also I get that complications are supposed to spice things up, but when you got your guy that has 1/6 to have a weird outcome at every check you do ...
And I say that as an IG player from the tabletop
I personally, talking only with knowledge of the rules and no practical experience, think that the d100 system in only war is better than the dice pool system... It is more granular (i hope it is the right word) and make for more in depth stuff... But i also understand that a dice pool system make the RPG easier to learn for TT players, which i think is the target for W&G
Personally i dislike the complication system, it make the game more RNG, and i despise RNG
And the ammo system, the ammo system is weird...
gimme a sec and i'll writeit out
As far as this, the new edition caps dice at 20+
The way the dice work (with 4 up being a success, 6 being 2) is fine and i like the fact you can shift 6s if yoy have enough successes to gain extra potency on things you are doing.
I do agree the wraith die sucks, I'm going to try it rules as writen initially but if i hate it i'll switch to shadowrun crits. Wrath die is the first die in any roll, on a 1 it is a complication (a crit fail if you don't succeed the roll, or if you do succeed its a "you succeed but...."
on a 6 on your wraith die its a crit
Well... That wasn't that long... Or as much detailed as i was expecting
still writing stuff just got a response from a player haha
Ah
Over all the system is super flexible and has an absurd amount of choice now Forsaken Systems has come out. We are running a T2 campaign that contains
a kroot merc
a scout marine
a pyromancer psyker
a priest
a skitarri vanguard
Immediatly i did see some of the power issues people are worried about (There was an option for someone to have a group of 10 followers, or to have an artillery strike you can do once per session) But a lot of it is up to GM descretion.
Scout marine, psyker and priest i know... Although priest is originally a tier 1 archetype
Kroot and skitarri vanguard are new
You can ascend tiers
I know, that is something that i find nice
so the kroot took an ascension that was he was rescued by an imperial and given a bunch of cyber to fix his wounds
not unheard of seeing as they are working for an ordos xenos inquis
Ah, yeah, i saw those too... I don't get the limit per session though
Ok, but kroot aren't present in the core rulebook afaik
The limit per session is because its like 10-20m blast radius bomb
Kroot are forsaken systems
No, i mean, i don't get why it is per session instead per in game time
the new expansion added kroot, ogryns and ratlings as well as a bunch of admech, sob and sm classes
Ah, i just found out, i didn't found information about it before
Thats fine its relativley new
Although the scout marine is present in the core rulebook too... As with a generic skitarii
Players come out of char gen strong but with weaknesses
as an example the kroot has 11 health and 11 resolve, you roll resolve to try and mitigate damage.
He only has 3 shock tho so any fear or psycological affects will doom him
I do like the fact as kroot you can take mutations as well. Wings or quills ir even bonuses for eating certain races
I don't like that system too, but i guess it is similar to inv dice from TT, so it make sense
resolve is like uhh AP in only war
you reduce damage by how many successes you get instead of a flat number tho
But there is still AR iirc
Like, skitarii armour has 4
The same as the storm trooper armour and carapace armour too
armour adds to your resolve pool
You also have defence, which is just the target people need to hit to hit you
Less RNG!!
tbf a success is a 50/50 chance per dice so his average on 11 resolve is like 6 succ
The gun abilities seem pretty fun, and so do a bunch of the talents. I think my only complaints atm are the wraith die, enemies use the same stats players do so if i decide i don't like how they are and the game isn't a challenge i can just custom make enemies like with OW
Dragon progress
Very scary
nice hat tho
Siiiick
AM?
Astra Militarum
That may require to add a cap or a medal to your profile image
I went full pyromaniacs flamethrower and won against SL
Its with the OW boys I assume ?
I could post my whole army from battlescribe but it will be a big brick in the chat
he's a bit of a fucker tbh
cool model but designed to be built by thin fingered demons
Particularly that bit
Ah so me 
i have chubby fingers and bite my nails
My fucking skeletor thin long ghoul hands
... looks like a rectal exam from one of my old medical books.
hmm
@rose sluice if you thought that was hard dont buy Lady O
too late
Have you assembled her?
fuck
And those little helpers hair are 3 pieces that connect at 1 point
i need a pair of hobby tweezers or something
Yea
It’s like this. Like wtf
Minis look amazing
grown an real fondness for nighthaunt recently
Tbh all nighthaunt models are like this lmao
Dont get a black coach
That fucker connects to the base at 3 points
epic
i've got mortarion as like my true test of skill
but all i hear is that he breaks
so i'm concerned
Most aoc minis look amazing
Simping for the bloodsuckers are ya ,
Hot take
The people who say "age of shitmar" are two things
1
Know literally nothing about the lore and heard about its bad launch
And 2
Have never played a game of warhammer fantasy battles in their fucking life
People that unironically use it are either old fucks or have issues
Or
tbh that was all i had seen
So old fucks
i don't like high fantasy too much
I used to be one of those people
But then i actually sat down with the lore and the model releases and realize this was good shit
I now plan on collecting slaanesh as well as literally every death army
there just cool factions and characters in fantasy that i like alot more
FEC are really up there with my favorites
i know fuck all about the lore
Bretonia can suck my ladycock, flesh eater courts are wsy more unique and cool 
Literally wendigo transformation ghouls who think theyre knightly orders
They did tho
Hes a fucking stormcast now
was
Was?
or did he come back?
Did they fianlly change it?!
pretty sure he blew up in some soul engine or something
he remembered who he was and blew up
after in end times he was off to kill the chaos gods for asking "would you kindly"
Lmao
it's just dumb shit like that that makes me abit annoyed
but those lamias are sexy as fuck so i can't argue 
might have to read some of the books at some point
I loved the lore in the old world... if someone were to get into age of sigmar books what's a good jumping point?
Think I've seen @elfin yew comment on some books so they might have some suggestions, I know there's new gotrek if you enjoyed those stories
I've also been wanting to jump into some books but also not sure where a good start would be
@median pumice im personally really fond of realmslayer audio drama
It is stupid fun
@rose sluice annd hes built
rapid
Not too bad for me
hahaha
I wont like that bit was the sucky part
i had to just push it and hope for the best
i couldn't get my finger in though
har har
Im leaving the cross off his back then gluing the arms on
fair
Welp
what flavour?
Some browns and greys for the wood
i really need to start painting again
i've got an excuse now cause that warpfire came primed
god they look hellish
god
They also make 18 attacks in a block of 5
It means i need to roll 5 or higher on two dice rolls for an attack to wound a model
But if i roll a 6 i immediately do a wound that cant be negated
ah shit
luck of the dice
Pretty much
But 1 model has like 4 fucking attacks so if you take them in big blobs....
I try
i like that armour colour
Thanks
i want to try and make this into a leschen
Good luck
I need to finish my all 42 fire warrior, Shadowsun, and after i can do my Lumineth... why i took so much...
AdMech is ok, why i take some SM, a Knight, SoB, Krieg, Tau and Necron
I'll definitely give that a look. Thank you!
Anyone know when the preorders go on sale? I work that morning and I'd like to give GW my pound of flesh earlier rather than later lmao
Contrast paints are good for glows and lights but not much else in my opinion, picked some blue contrast up for my blackstone fortress minis, its aight but I only used it for glows/lights
You are using contrasts wrong them lmao
These zombies are a good 80 percent contrast paints
@cosmic egret contrast paints 100 percent rely on what you underpaint and can greatly speed up the process of painting
That zombie skin looks great!
Its morghast bone with plaguebearer contrast
Thats it
Want it to look even nicer add a glaze of earthshade or nuln oil for extra dirty and put volpus pink in the exposed wounds
Volpus pink is AMAZING for making exposed fleshy wounds
This is how I've been using it
The contrast paint you see is Talassar blue
What were you trying to do with it?
The blue on his coils, it kinda looks like it glows which I what I was trying to do
How'd you do the ethereal looking dress? I... may have some spooky ghosts to paint maybe and that looks like an excellent color to base it off of <_<
Question, what colors should I paint my crusader? I'm planning on making him into an Inquisitor of some kind, possibly from Ordo Malleus
The red is just the plastic
i'd probs do like, idk maybe red fabric with golden trimmings and then mostly bronze-ish metal
def bronze or golden metal if it's meant to be a fancy inquisitor boi
Could of used nighthaunt gloom instead, followed by a drybrushing of lighter blue then another light drybrush of white to make them look like crackling blue coils
@median pumice oh! I actually use the same contrast paint for my ghost scheme as the blue zombie dreaa
Ill tell you in a bit currently have a baby on my lap
Holy shit time flys
Yes, yes it does sadly
RETRIBUTOR ARMOUR ON EVERYTHING THAT SHOULD BE METAL
I thought about doing something like that but I thought it would be too brightly coloured and I also don't have a lot of paints on hand
I have a total of 10 paints and 2 washes
Depends. Are you going subtle functional inquis or shinny glossy inquis
For the former i'd recommend steel legion as the base for metals with a nuln wash (or nighthaunt if you want a blueish finish)
Cloth do as a coded colour usualy (something that will match other models uniforms or some noble house) but im also partial to dark blue/purple for the drapes
Purple has a history of being for royalty, so since inquisitors are usually pretty high ranking, purple will fit them well.
@cosmic egret ah....see thats where i seem to forget about others
I have ALOT of paint
@cosmic egret in future i reccomend looking into a painting tutorial for a secific effect youre looking for or researching what certain paints are good for so when you do buy paint to do somthing youre not quite guessing if itll work or not
I just go based off GWs suggestions on the boxes of the minis
For base coat specifically
Youll be suprised what you can find on youtube
I looked up " how to paint blue jeans in miniatures" and i got 4 different tutorials all different in process
Fucking
I want to do the xenithar highlight but I dont have an air brush and I also use brush on primer
Climate where I live is awful for spray primer
Aaah
I've tried several kinds of spray primers they all don't function properly where I live
Have you tried doing it indoors with a spray booth?
Small apartment won't allow that
I also live in small apartment
I just dont tell my neigbors lmao
If you have access to a window i can walk you through building a cheap spaybooth
The brush on works fine, just takes a bit more time to paint a mini though
Yea
I have quite a bit experience for zenithal highlighting and im still trying to experiment for what it is exactly great for
Its weird
man
zenithal hilighting
do u know any good youtube vids for detailing when and how to do it
he smol
@plush swift same reason why Slambo is cute
but determined
p sure he originally started as a meme
and later on GW just
gave us the updated model and it's amazing
Yup
My and the boys raising our hands eternally
yes
Its funny
People think the big fuckoff pauldrons joke is a warcraft reference
It comes from chaos warriors actually
In this video we deep dive into the world of the zenithal undercoat, what it means, how to do it, what we can use to pull it off, and how we can get creative with it.

Hey that's Dana
Confused on the light, why is the front of the helmet dark when the light is obviously in front of him
literally unplayable
Fuck yea it is
Lyla and dana are fucking awesome
Jesus my partner is going to be pissed when our kids first words are swears
Didn't know about Lyla
lmao
already?
Thanks for the input @hasty sorrel @dusk hill and @cosmic egret. I was thinking he'd be a more functional Inquisitor, which is why he is in fully sealed armor. I'll try some things later today ^^
👍
@hasty sorrel what can i say, raised in an irish catholic house hold
ah that makes sense lmao
Every swears like a fucking sailor lmao
in which case recommend iron hands, highlight leadbelcher, wash nuln then highlight with silvers as you see fit
and ye im half irish so
its made all the more interesting by my grantparents on that side being from north n south

Uh oh
My grandparents and great uncles and a cousin were all in the PIRA back in the troubles
Dear federal agents watching this discord channel
That was a joke
:)
lmao
COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS
Lmao
Listening to troll slayer while i clean the apartment halls
Felix has now met a SECOND woman his is stricken with
I wonder if shell get fridged like the last one for " backstory and motivation"
The first is the one the he meet in the border princes right?
Yea
Fuck whats her name
Yeup
Thats the problem with these ladies
Theyre fridge bait
No wonder i cant remember her name
Erin?
Kristen!
It was kristen
She is both mentioned and killed in the same audio book chapter
Of course after they have sex
I shouldnt be mad, this book was written when fridged women was a commonly used troupe
But
Its still used today lmao
peep the chappy
bought indomitus when it came out and im still working through the marine half lol
nice
Also someone mentioned zenithal; I just started doing like a speed version of it with contrast paint on top... never going back to regular basecoats again.
Barely even on and they're already sold out.
Guess I'm getting it on miniature market or something
Or ordering from a flgs
scalping ftw
Epic scalp time
Yeaaaah. I'm just disappointed there wasnt anything to prevent these scalpers
Hell even the 420 dollar set of it is sold out
God this is gonna happen again with gaunts ghost when they release lmao
I'm just gonna go grab em local
maybe GW could've like
fuck idk couldn't u just filter by address? like, u may only have 2 per address or smthn
if ip is unreliable
I dont think GW cares
Routinely have they fucked over both local stores and regular consumers
They get paid regardless so
Time to insert an edgy quote into this
Remember always that multimillion corporations are not your friend, are not kind and should not be treated as individuals
Its tru

That and scalping just becoming more prevalent
Who cares about the hobby when you can flip for a 15% profit
Soulless husks of capital
yea p much
scalpers pay the same price and hey
they do it quickly
pog
I start wondering whether GW intentionally encourages scalping at this point
like
when was there last a popular release that didn't go out of stock in minutes or hours
I dont think they have to. Its a growing problem in like, everything with even some scarcity
if they're not expecting it now then they're morons
yeah but why does this shit have scarcity??
Its just their Suits not understanding some business methods imo
to quote Bricky "GW is like the scorpion from the Frog and the Scorpion, they'll do dumb shit for no reason."
Lmao said the scorpion
GW's lack of care for the stores which help form their community will hurt them eventually
Yeee, GW doesnt do shit unless their stocks/profit is actively threatened
Remember that one guy who tried scalping like 50 PS5s and got robbed of them? Then just vanished off the internet?
if it turns out to be all GW kits then we bash the door own, interrogate them for about 10 seconds about what it's for, if they haven't got a convincing answer on hand immediately that isn't scalping we steal the kits and ransack the pantry
Makes me thinj maybe karma does exist
Bless ye thieves
remember kids
theft is justified if the person ur stealing from is a cunt
unironically tho
Correct
Man, I just wanted some cool ass vampires to paint and convert lmao
I'm gonna drop by my local game store and see if I can preorder em there.
New and improved ultramarine. Grimdark edition tm
Yea straight up the dude tweeted it bragging for clout
Then he got doxxed
Then he was robbed
Twice
🙏
nice
I wasn't shocked to see Blood Knights sold out in a snap but the new Vamp novel was a surprise. I was able to order a codex though, so I call it a win.
what is jfc again?
Jesus fucking christ
Like these people posted his adress
And helped people break into his home?
in this case he really would've been robbing others, if ya think about it
I dont think charging extra for a console is comparable to breaking into someone’s home and stealing thousands of dollars
Like you do know you can just wait like a couple months
Wait what's happening?
Buying a ton of limited items so you can sell them for more than they're worth is dickish but so is robbing them.
Yo brief me whats happening?
scalping is dickish, but doxxing and robbing someone is really really fucked up
like
A book sold out way to fucking quickly
@plush swift you didnt see the tweet
Nah robbing the moron was pretty based
Holy shit
I hope he wept over it
well you're a bad person we know that already
Yeah like i can kinda agree
but what he did was extremely assholish
he deserved it all the way
Its not like robbing a literal innocent store owner lol
If you open your tweet with " fuck your feelings" then ask for tripple the retail price
Karma is funny
If anyones to blame for ps5 stock problem its fucking sony
Litetally every playstation release
Ok legit scalpers are scum of the earth but at least take his cash via cybercrime
Theres a fucking stock problem
Karma I guess
Every
Villian
Is
Lemon
@plush swift anyways yea scalpers made sure "dynasty of monsters" hardback didnt come into my hands

What's that lemon emote
Dynasty of monsters? Out of anything they could have scalped it had to be a sigmar book?

But why
They scalp literally everything
EVERYTHING
and gw still hasnt made a public statement about it
They havent even acknowledged its a problem
How do you deal with scalpers btw, im genuinely curious
well you know what we should do
Like seriously I'd honestly think they'd scalp more valuable shit like Krieger box sets on forge world
EZ
LIMIT ONE PER FUCKING PERSON
hire people with guns to rob them
cuz morals
Ysah thatd work
nah the guns thing is better
Didn't GW try that with Indomitus and it still failed?
and more just
Or be like ebay and sell pictures of the product in question to trick scalpers but what your actually doing is making it harder for people to get the genuine article
Or don't sell it online. And make people go to a store
Some people dont have hobby stores near them
I know plenty of people who use online only because their nearest store is 2 hours away
Yeah but it'll be seriously take less effort than making a complicated online system that will be exploited by bots anyway
Look
The most frustrating part is
GW hasnt even said anything
They havent admitted scalping is a problem, theyve never mentioned it
In an ideal world, people would boycott scalpers so they can sit and think with their 50+ boxes of Blood Knights but some folk got less patience than they do money
A fucking public acknowledgement would be a great first start
I'm pretty sure GW doesn't even know that it's happening
As we’re sure you noticed, the Indomitus launch set for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 sold out incredibly fast online this weekend.
On the one hand, that’s really exciting news for Warhammer 40,000 fans everywhere! It’s amazing to be part of such a passionate and engaged worldwide community. As Warhammer goes from strength to strength, it means there are more games to be played, new friends to be made and more memories to be created.
Yep, fans everywhere Gdubs
The whole " oh wait people actually like this niche hobby haha lmao"
They do this number every fucking time a major box sells out
Bruh
At what point does the " oh i didnt realize" become "we know, and were keeping it this way"
Look at Nintendo
Yeup
they have been doing it for like 20 years
Yeeeeup
Like FFS, just have the really limited stuff be made to order. You did it for Indomitus GW, why not Cursed City?
Speaking of console stock problems
HOLY SHIT THE THING EVERYONE WANTED TURNED OUT TO BE A THING EVERYONE WANTED
YEEEEP
Maybe you could sell some more?
I DON'T THINK SO, LIMITED SUPPLY, BITCHES
It's a digital game on a digital marketplace
The problem is they have no system in order to make limited order stuff be one per payment method per person
WE RAN OUT OF NUMBERS FOR KEYS
have you not seen that?
No
steam has used that at least once that I can remember
Nintendo in their infinite wisdom not jsut printing more keys
it's a lie, they just love artificial scarcity
I guess if anything this means I can start painting the minis I have now...
All companies do
TBF, the models at least are all made in like two factories in England instead of some wannabe Forgeworld in China. So there is a genuine limit to how much GW can make at once.
Uhhh
oh sure, I am dunking on Ninty
Hammerwar™️ 🇨🇳
Hate to burst your bubble
but they also could just make more, it's actually way easier to make models as they do now than when they were pewter
GW is only getting more efficient
One of the reason why cursed city went bust is high tarriffs on the raw plastic material
Because it was made in china
Honestly though this makes me want to get back into Infinity. That company at least acknowledges shortages and works to get things set right... =/
that's why they will never be big business
Tbh if space hulk made a come back
Oh, well shit.
if you are a real corpo nothing is ever wrong
that's why investors will keep dumping in money and artificially inflating your value
I guess? That and the rules are hard for me lmao
Remember the popeyes chicken sandwitch?
once you say something is wrong they shit themselves and try to get all the money back
Why the fuck would an international chain have a shortage, it was all fabricated for publicity and sales lol
investors are literally the dumbest people with the most money
Anyway howd you guys like my finished model?
it's clean
Its snazzy. Very sharp
marines are always best when they are defined
Like their abs
why I am terrible at chaos stuff, I suck at things that are not sharp
though I personally am just waiting for the sister-bots
really want to just put multi-barrel chainguns on one
Sororitras matrix bots haha
All we're missing is Ecclisiarchal Choirboys shoving wheelbarrows of ammunition to them
you say that but I am pretty sure the parts exist for a conversion
For some reason I keep thinking of them as the sororitas equivalent of gretchin
I remember a warhammer fantasy ork unit that was a gretchin with a wheelbarrow that had a squig in it
or a rock
I mean Crusaders are basically gretchin
😐

Been playing dark crusade necrons, on easy. I know its probably not how your supposed to play but im getting used to it
i hate having to scout
Here is my entire ork collection, plus terrain I made for them (I really suck at taking pictures lol)
That is a serious amount of dakka
2 squads of Boyz, 2 squads of nobz, a squad of 5 meganobz, stormboyz, lootas, a dragsta, a deff dread, a mek gun, a big mek in armor, trukk, a squad of gross, a painboy, and of course ghazghkull mag uruk thraka himself
Digganobz
Agh I ported in my termies and totally forgot to shoot with them
head table head table head table
It's a learning experience, you'll get em next time
You won't forget next turn
When we were beginning my friend and I during 8th edition, he forgot to shoot his leman russ twice
Hah. They removed that blood knight listing from ebay
Imagine not having to do a dice roll for who chooses who goes first every battle round
Catching a new player up on the lancer campaign and ended up making this
Feels nice having our current assets written out

Pariah Nexus models go on pre-order next week. With Kamoteph attained just yesterday, I can finally round out my Necron Nerd Squad.
This is alongside the Admech codex, Lelith Hesperax, 3 different Combat Patrols, the rest of the Soulblight and Mr. Kainan's Wild Ride.
this is literally just the start collecting box for vanguard marines with an impulsor thrown in. lol
stop trying to make vanguard marines work gw. most people don't like them
the necron box is pretty crisp though
I mean you say that yet people love incursors/infiltrators
also they really are going to pretend that cursed city never existed, aren't they?
Are they letting you buy them separate?
just the vampire stuff
then there is a pretty good looking start collecting box for the soulblight stuff
Is that where the wight king went?
20 grave guard, a unit of black knights and a wight king
it will be exclusive to the box for a little while
Damn
i'm ok with it, simply because i have none of those units
Woah Soulblight's SC is good
20 skeletons
The old deathrattle one only had 10
Tho it also had Arkhan
I got a pad the other day (thank you Puddles :>) so I made this to test how well I can draw with it.
Vanguard are genuinely the only sm that I don't like
why would they do that
could not be less effort
Simple, people like to buy Infiltrator box
You can make their variant that is pretty good on the tabletop
But like, they are the only decent unit of the ones of the box
Because lieutenant in phobos is bad, impulsor isn't the best and the guys with the autocanons, I've legit never saw them in a fight
The perspective on this one really bothers me, its worse with the necron one
I like the concept of Marines having a Scout equivalent that actually wears power armor. Always felt weird to me that important things like reconnaissance, stealth, and sniper support were the sole domain of the new guys and all those skills get left behind once you got power armor.
Although i kinda wonder what they use scouts for then
scouting i'd assume
If you got units who do the same job as scouts do but better i dont see where you would use scouts anymore. Like "oh this is only semi important, if you fuck it up thats not a huge loss for us"?
Scouts still do scout stuff I assume, sadly you may never see them on the tabletop ever again
That's too bad
I really liked the scout's bits
I did too
They fit well on IG and gives veterans the shotguns they don't have
You got it? Good!
Maybe they now deploy them in mixed squads, containing both primaris but also scouts?
That would make sense at least
Im not quite the fan purely because its all old kits lol
It would make sense lore wise
I also plan on going vampire and monster heavy so it isnt my jam
Then again, scouts aren't primaris, eliminators are
But like primaris marines gotta have scouts too right?
Well its chapter dependant
Plus I don't know all the chapters
With Primaris lore being missing and what we have a bit vague, that's hard to say
Even in the lore, its mentionend that as time goes on, the procedure to turn a sm into a primaris gets safer and more marines do it/ are encouraged to
They really do'nt hide the fact that normal sm will be a thing of the past in a few years
Honestly id be happy id they maybe release chaos primaris as some kind of elite unit because they can turn to chaos too ofc
hell yea
@hoary ermine oh? Whatcha makin?
I need names and former houses for the following characters and their mechs, based off of titanfall in 40k:
1 Themed after the Scorch titan -Thermite firing mech, frontline tank. His Pilot <male>. Their ancestral is house Griffith, Their callsign is Spicy Boys.
2 Themed after the Tone titan -Sniper/missile and spotter mech. Her Pilot <male>. Their ancestral house is Unknown. Haven't chosen a callsign yet.
3 Themed after the Ion titan -Laser-firing energy-based mech, long range support. Her pilot <female>. Their ancestral house is Taranis. Haven't chosen a callsign yet.
4 Themed after the Monarch titan -A supply/backup purpose mech, supports civilians and backs up the others. Her pilot is named Nagant, an ai. Their ancestral house Terryn. Haven't chosen a callsign yet.
i need names for the chassis and the pilots, and potentional callsigns
The above lol
the main reason was because they werent in power armour which is noisy af (sorry super late reply)
id offer to assist elyksis but im bad at names
names are hard to come up with
As a joke I made one of my Purestrain Naruto running
For Tone: Perhaps Nagant? Could work as a callsign or a personal name.
So I noticed that hired gun has purestrains in one of its trailers
Streum flubs up genestealer animations 2, electric boogaloo, im expecting
Maybe its an asset reflip from Spacehulk
This kid
Needs to not get in the way of my hobbies
Im starting to get bothered by it lol
hows this comming out so far? simple necron monolith i plan to print
Cthulhu looking xenos > non-cthulhu looking xenos
👀
Thats not a bad name tbh
The tonk is finally finished 😃
stonks
So. I need to find myself a Lazarus model now.
I just have to slug through this Tor Garadon already.
And I need to get some shade washes.
Lazarus with the winged helmet is way too good looking. I LOVE the tabard designs on them.
And some of the successor chapters have incredible colour schemes.
Checked bone and black with green tabards.
New Ork hero
Did they show the figure for him?
@sour hill its the funky hairy dude from the event
Hes not "new" weve already seen him from warhammerfest
Well technically he is an old mini from 4th edition
Not the first time

Anyways
Yea when i collect orks again hes going straight into my army
I need more gretchin based stuff
Since i plan on playing grot revolusion
Well the ability to make your gretchins shoot after action is pretty decent
Imo his best ability is the one forcing monsters to fight last
so game question. if i cast psychic barrier on my bullgryns they now ahve a 3+ save if i took the brute shield. can i then cast take cover in the shooting phase to have a 2+?
hows this necron monolith im making looks?
I know for a fact that you can psychic barrier brute shield fora 3++ but I'm skeptical about take cover enhancing it further
Take Cover stratagem only applies to armor saves.
Found the FAQ
I saw an faq that invul counts as SV
Q: If an ability allows me to add 1 to saving throws, does it
apply to both normal saving throws and invulnerable throws?
A: Yes, unless otherwise stated.
Seems like I misunderstood it
A model with an invulnerable save can use it instead of its normal Sv.
The core rules do differentiate invulnerable save and Sv
So it wouldn't work techncially
Looks good! 3D printed eventually?
yup, got some glow in the dark filliment
So it does sound like they can stack for a 2+ invul
Yep but Take Cover specifies Armor saving throw, Sv
So you only get a 3++ sorry
But with slab that's a 0+ save
Aight. We did it.
Got Lazarus, Shrike and Ragnar
Finally picked up Nuln Oil and Earthshade so I can do some proper shading as well.
That's gonna look awesome
Glow in the Dark? That sounds SO dope.
last one for now
Niiiiice. Like the iconography on the front and that divot
Yeah. That's fantastic. Gives it character.
Those look great
Spooky cloth seems tricky to get right
I struggle enough with regular ass corporeal cloaks haha
@void orchid its a zenithal highlight with 2 contrast paints
Night haunt gloom for the cloak, and some kinda blue for the wispy ghost body
I should check out contrast paints at some point
I honestly just havent done any painting since I packed everything up for the move last year
My sad KO box is languishing by the wayside haha
Yeaaah. Those are gorgeous!
Post pictures! :D
Will do! I'm not super proud of him, sadly. I'm waiting for the Agrax Earthshade to come in where I'll add some shading (bright yellow needs it BAD).
But at least if he's done enough to just be shaded later I can start on another figure that brings me joy. 😂
Dopeee
Nice. Liking the Tesla coil thingies
Seriously! Those look SICK
99% done now.
I'll shoot some pictures quick after.
I'm still not done technically until my Shade paints come in.
A few small details I want to clean up, I need shading so the yellow has definition (not banana yellow), etc.
But I'm calling him done. Yellow man bad.
Looking good!
I also need to get a hyper-thin black paint marker.
So I can do script on the seal and also his wrist computer; I want to add little design to that too.
Have you consider gunpla markers?
I'll definitely peep.
Not sure how fine you want the lines to be but they get enough to fill into the details of gundam kits
Let me see if I can get a picture of one of mine
Appreciate it!
All the panels in there I did with a standard black gunpla marker. Not sure of the size. This is a 1/100 scale kit
Very very nice.
I'll have to look into it.
I just need a hyper fine point.
So that my lines are distinguishable.
Gotcha. I know people use freehand, but their nerves are steadier than mine lmao.
I think their may be some bic paint pens that can work? But even those can get kinda pricey, and not sure how well they'd work with acrylics
That's... Certainly a gun
Yep! It was designed to blow up colonies
uhh
It's a big ol anime gun. Doesnt need to make sense. But the model kit is lovely. I actually spent like a few days putting on all the decals then matte coating it.
It turned out really nice
I put it away as I dont have display space for it, but I'll take a picture afterwards
it's no Vector Cannon though
It's beautiful. I'm a huge Gundam fan.

well worth a look
I originally kickstarted it
it's great
not like complete though, still EA
you can get pretty close to building a bunch of gundams

That's awesome!
