Oh lord
The powercreep at it again
next magnet
funny how you didn't include the image without power creep to make sure you make your point
edgy cipher
I included all of em wdym
hasty sorrel
i have no idea what he means
next magnet
vivid rune
The real crime here is the image is the old ork boy
Implying they might not get an updated model after all
next magnet
This is the real sad point haha
edgy cipher
We are talking S7 weapons
That's a decent Str
Allows them to bash light vehicles proper
next magnet
Makes sense to me
edgy cipher
Combine that with their passive and thats attacks on a 2+ Hurt on a 3+ on light vehicles
trim hemlock
I think he meant the 8th edition stats
8th Ed stats are the same, just T4
edgy cipher
Then please don't mention how I avoided powercreep when this is a troup weapon
edgy cipher
8th Ed stats are the same, just T4
Choppa got an additional -1 in AP but appart from that and the T5 its very similar
But T5 troup is so good
next magnet
Everything gets a -1 AP
edgy cipher
As an IG player, it means even flamers using pyromaniacs are bad against orks now
next magnet
So you'd expect something toughnesswise for 6+ units
hasty sorrel
just gotta wait another year for IG update
edgy cipher
We haven't seen the points yet
hasty sorrel
Everything gets a -1 AP
not everything just a lot of things were bumped to -1
edgy cipher
So I expect a decent spike for the boys
hasty sorrel
theres still a lot of flat 0
edgy cipher
That’s right, Toughness 5. In fact, many varieties of Ork throughout the codex are seeing an extra point of Toughness added to their profile (yes, even Gretchin).
next magnet
sure, but it's getting to proportions that it must be accounted for and you must basically consider there will always be a -1
next magnet
They were ?
edgy cipher
Makes them not oneshot by bolters
next magnet
Wouldn't surprise me
edgy cipher
I mean basic ork being T5 is a big oof
Currently a boy is 8 pts
If they go even up to 10 points
hasty sorrel
honestly wopuldnt surprise me if they leave it at 8
next magnet
If that change goes to Kill Team they will be soooo strong
vivid rune
vivid rune
Makes sense to me
I wonder what tank bustas are gonna do
Or are they just being phased out by beast snaggas
hasty sorrel
they gonna busta load
rose sluice
me rn
edgy cipher
I mean Beast Snaggas are still S7 so against T8 that's hurting on a 5+
Tank bustas, getting T5 aswell are going to be able to approach tanks much safer
vivid rune
So aos 3rd edition is lookin real good
More heroic abilities and more CP, interventions so you arent sidelining
Predatory Endless spells moving in every fucking phase holy shit
hasty sorrel
edgy cipher
They are going to tank plasma shots with gretchins instead of orks
hasty sorrel
as its supposed to be
edgy cipher
All orks players must be nutting rn
twilit cliff
If that change goes to Kill Team they will be soooo strong
cool pfp, isn't that a character from asterix & obelix
quaint halo
Got the heroes and big bads primed
next magnet
cool pfp, isn't that a character from asterix & obelix
Yes it is
lapis tundra
Ah the good old "thousands of layers of undercoat texture" everybody got on their priming surface but nobody dares scraping it off
hoary ermine
dusky mango
That is coming together really well
twilit cliff
Kinda reminds me of the surface of the moon
lapis tundra
Yeah especially with the track marks of the quad
twilit cliff
Can I offer one point of criticism?
hoary ermine
hm?
twilit cliff
I really like the track marks, put some life in the diorama
But I wish it wasnt at an artificial looking 90 degree angle to the edge of the diorama
lapis tundra
Im fine with that tbh
hoary ermine
oh but my man
twilit cliff
To me it reinforces that it was measured
twilit cliff
Ahhh
hoary ermine
Once i attach them all together
the little drone that could will have come from all the way in the back
twilit cliff
Yh ok it's cool then
hoary ermine
twilit cliff
Dope
hoary ermine
i could also just make it come out of the top right corner
twilit cliff
It's fiddy k right?
hoary ermine
the cooll thing with the material is
uh
the basing is still sculptable
its air and clay composite, so if i want new tire tracks
i will have new tire tracks
Yeah its fiddyk
twilit cliff
Nice
hoary ermine
I just heard we have a private interview with sergeant headache!
Previously seen in the following scene;
His situation has somehow, become worse
twilit cliff
Wth
karmic torrent
Oof
twilit cliff
What body did you use for that
lapis tundra
Regular csm
twilit cliff
Don't csm usually have asymmetric boots and stuff
twilit cliff
I've been looking at csm and think I hate they were asymmetric
What did you do to him lol, I can't tell
twilit cliff
Green stuffed it up much?
hoary ermine
twilit cliff
Very cool, thanks
hoary ermine
it takes some work as you have to find matching styles of legs or find a pair on different models that are both clean or both tagged with w/e
twilit cliff
Yh I can imagine
hoary ermine
your main best chance is to cut out every left and every right leg and laying them next to each other
then slowly work on possible combos
twilit cliff
Ill have a look soon
arctic rivet
I have done that
bought a canoness so I could get a left hand condemnor bolt gun because I want to make a sister dual wielding them

I have the transfer sheets for 20 Marines which is nice
lapis tundra
I need to get that backpack flame at some point to attach it to the ambot i got at some point
radiant thunder
When I was snipping it originally and put it on its back it had an iron halo on it. But I accidentally snapped it off and thought. Well my job just got easier. The iron halo still is in tact just needed to make room for the torch bearer
I also added the mini hammer on his right and tongs on the left so he’s ready to start a fire
I refuse to use ultra smurfs
I like robot girlyman but I hate the ultra babies
lapis tundra
When I was snipping it originally and put it on its back it had an iron halo on ...
Oh no xD
sour hill
Just ordered Army Painter fake snow and some nice varieties of rocks to use for landscaping.
Just need to finish assembling everything I want to make for my army.
@radiant thunder Loving the kitbash. I plan on doing a lot of the same.
Gonna turn Lazarus into a lieutenant with PS and master craft bolt gun, etc.
All Deathwatch.
I could turn my Agaros into the Sargeant for my Eradicators I'll eventually pick up too. 👁️
Shittttt. Y'all inspiring me.
compact umbra
Hey do you think these heads could fit on a rust stalkers?
dusk hill
idk it might be a lil awkward
hasty sorrel
with some effort maybe
radiant thunder
Hey do you think these heads could fit on a rust stalkers?
Which one is rust stalker again?
dusk hill
spindly bois with dual weapons
radiant thunder
Honestly? No. With some work you could do a mutated rust stalker
compact umbra
Ah, I’ve seen people manage to fit the sulfur ones but not the raiders
radiant thunder
It would look super weird but with a bit of imagination you could prolly do it.
compact umbra
Yea
radiant thunder
Give him a back story. The horse that lost his master. So he set out to find his killer
compact umbra
I might be able to squeeze it on the big boy with out looking weird but that might be a stretch
Oooo yea
dusk hill
i think it would look a lil too top heavy
radiant thunder
Remember. All 40K fan fiction is canon.
dusk hill
maybe running it on squad leader and like, messing around with the posing so it's facing downwards or otherwise not sticking out too badly? idk
compact umbra
True
radiant thunder
All I know is I need more hammer weapons
radiant thunder
But no salamanders box I could buy
compact umbra
Ah
radiant thunder
That’s what I’m trying to get more salamanders lol
radiant thunder
Scroll up and you’ll see my kitbash from earlier
compact umbra
Have you tried getting some from fantasy?
radiant thunder
Couldn’t find any good ones I wanted
I mean worst case I green stuff them. But that’ll take time
radiant thunder
Oh I can forge world them
compact umbra
Oh yeaaaa
radiant thunder
I wonder how dumb expensive they are one sec
Well that was a waste. Most stuff was sold out

These are the 4
hoary ermine
Hey do you think these heads could fit on a rust stalkers?
lets see here
maybe you want to fix up a piece of cloth over them all after clipping away the throat a bit
sour hill
@compact umbraI think there's a lot of possibility. Remember. The admech like to mimic organic creatures with their tech.
hoary ermine
have them all hunchback
sour hill
Just going to require some intuitive cutting/swaps.
radiant thunder
Time to build this

Those are classy looking. Excellent job!
sour hill
Eliminators assembled as well as Watch Master.
Found out as I was assembling that the pauldrons are prebuilt in... Had to do some customisation.
Think it turned out dope though.
vivid rune
"Can i slap the upgrade sprue pauldron on or am i fucked?"
sour hill
But it definitely makes me feel more like a real hobbyist and not a faker.
vivid rune
Its exactly why i stopped building them, i didnt want to deal with it
