[lapis tundra]

My lighting sucks 😭

[vivid snow]

[twilit cliff]

this is great

[lapis tundra]

Thx!

[vivid snow]

bobo can i see your chaos legion

[lapis tundra]

Those are red corsairs

If you meant that

[vivid snow]

oh

[lapis tundra]

Sry my english kinda sux, can you elaborate?

[twilit cliff]

he wants to see them all

[lapis tundra]

Oh

[hoary ermine]

Naked, prefferably

[lapis tundra]

Well thats pretty much the only one i finished to an acceptable standart 😩

They are just gonna be a smol killteam

[hoary ermine]

Smol team

[haughty pine]

Play me, loser

[hoary ermine]

Takers of the smoljectives

[lapis tundra]

I dont plan on using them tbh 😔

[hoary ermine]

Coggers

[vivid snow]

thats my best model

[haughty pine]

I've never played kill team so you'll have to teach me the ways

Smh

[haughty pine]

[lapis tundra]

Hence why i dont really try to make em work rulewise

[hoary ermine]

Whats wrong jokey

[lapis tundra]

Like 1 mofo got a shotgun

[vivid snow]

my camera is kinda trash so rip but when i get my new phone ill show yall more of my projects

[hoary ermine]

Go for it

[vivid snow]

i think i spent 38 hours on that eversor tho

[urban harbor]

thats all you need 😛

[hoary ermine]

Nice

[haughty pine]

"Look at me I'm Bobo I play sweaty knight game but I'm too good for tabletop gaming"

[lapis tundra]

My camera sucks too tbh, tends to hide red highlights in 99% of all pics, really depends on if im lucky with the lighting or not

[hoary ermine]

Who isnt too good for ttg

[haughty pine]

Me

[vivid snow]

yo check this out my genestealer cult sanctus

[haughty pine]

And literally everyone else who plays?

https://tenor.com/view/nick-young-question-mark-huh-what-confused-gif-4995479

[lapis tundra]

Dont know against whom i should play
Yuck physically interacting with humans
Painting my beloved

[vivid snow]

id love to play a warhammer game with yall

🙂

[haughty pine]

Bruh

You

Can

Play

Online

[lapis tundra]

Did it a few times, wasnt all that fun for me so i stopped

[haughty pine]

[placid kernel]

What do you recommend to play online?

[haughty pine]

Fair enough

[lapis tundra]

Tabletop simulator

[haughty pine]

TTS

That

[placid kernel]

Do you have to mod all the stuff in?

[vivid snow]

nah that sh!t trash sorry

n yes

n sometimes it glitches

n refuses to load assets

[haughty pine]

Yeah but it's all on the steam workshop

[placid kernel]

Oh okay

[lapis tundra]

Yee steam workshop

[vivid snow]

wasnt worth the 20 dollars

[placid kernel]

That's easy then

[haughty pine]

Also don't listen to him it's all very well made

[vivid snow]

it is well made

[haughty pine]

You can ask anyone

Anyone else

[placid kernel]

Nah I get it, not for you

[placid kernel]

I'll probably give it a shot

[hoary ermine]

Altansar

The craftworld that survived the warp

[haughty pine]

Nice force insert

[vivid snow]

untill models fail to load i spent 4 days tweaking n modifying files n it jus sucked but all the best to you i really hope u dont experience what i did

[placid kernel]

Although I need to finish painting my current army first, promised my mate he'd be my first Warhammer game

[hoary ermine]

Wanted to followup on what i posted earlier thanks

[placid kernel]

I just have more fun making lists than actually painting😩

[haughty pine]

Dude

You know what, it's not worth it

[placid kernel]

Meant painting

[haughty pine]

Understandable

Also that wasn't directed at you matt

[lapis tundra]

Fair, happened too with some stuff but i just used different files as proxy

[placid kernel]

Ah okay mb

[vivid snow]

i did not think of that

damn

i feel kinda dumb now lmao

[compact umbra]

Holy shit I love hexwraiths

[placid kernel]

Spooky horse

[compact umbra]

My one hope for NHs was ghost horses

And they have ghost horses

[placid kernel]

I like the OBR kavaloi, because of the different bird skulls and things

[haughty pine]

Kind of pog

[compact umbra]

That’s cool af

Shame they are expense af tho

[placid kernel]

Not a fan of the red armour but mine are the dark blue

[compact umbra]

A price to match I should say

[haughty pine]

They look like Necron lychguard

[compact umbra]

True

[placid kernel]

Functionally the helmeted ones on the right are bodyguards

The four faced ones are more like an adaptable shock troop

[compact umbra]

The only thing I don’t like is that they don’t have a lance option

[placid kernel]

These guys are tanks

[compact umbra]

But still

Skeleton horses ❤️

OH HSAH THOSE MODES FUCKING BANG

[hoary ermine]

They were designed with cross compatabilty in mind, they keep doing so lately

[placid kernel]

And these are the healers/ corpse takers

[compact umbra]

Wait what

[placid kernel]

The back of them is a basket

[compact umbra]

OHH okay

[placid kernel]

And they have the skeleton and arms all over their body to loot the dead and dying of their bones

And use them to heal the other OBR constructs

[compact umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-robbing-mask-black-gif-13268031

OBR when bones

[placid kernel]

Pretty much

They don't even always kill you

[haughty pine]

Hold on

[placid kernel]

They prefer to make deals with the living

If you pay the bone tithe you live

[haughty pine]

https://youtu.be/wFgAE5SgFnw

[placid kernel]

If you fail too you die

[haughty pine]

[placid kernel]

But it's always calculated that you should be able to meet the tithe

[compact umbra]

Hex wraiths are an older model, but they look super good when they are painted like the ghosts and not like skeletons

[placid kernel]

Maybe have to give up a finger occasionally but it's doable

[vivid snow]

can u ask to join them?

like do they recruit

[placid kernel]

They recruit through killing

Or under exceptional circumstances if you can defeat them

Their current leader, Katakros, held them off for three months, which was unheard of, so was remade as a their lord

Each construct has the useful parts of multiple souls

With just enough for them to be individual whilst still serving as a greater power

And they can never disobey an order

[vivid snow]

pay the bone tithe

got it

[placid kernel]

So if you die to them as a warrior you may end up becoming part of multiple constructs

They also have builders, artists, librarians, translators etc

[placid kernel]

Yup, most societies just cull the old to meet the tithe, others have duels or arenas where you fight to not die, but ultimately the bone has to be human and has to be fresh

Once ready you take it to a tithe nexus

These things

[haughty pine]

Hmm

Bad dragon?

[placid kernel]

Anything is if you're brave enough

[haughty pine]

Some people are

I've seen it

[placid kernel]

I think Its 8 inches tall

[placid kernel]

Oh god 😳

They only care for bone...other bodily parts aren't in the question...

And not that kind of bone either! Mind out of the gutter!

[vivid snow]

lmfao

im ded

[placid kernel]

Only exception are the Petrifex elite, who are a small nomadic legion of giant undead constructs that only use fossils to make themselves

Something of archeologists themselves

[vivid rune]

Dear flesh human. Pay us taxes please. :)

[compact umbra]

Tax pile

[placid kernel]

Yeah! Just with four smiley faces :) :) :) :)

[vivid rune]

Ive always wanted to make this one but i want to make molds of them so i can cast them in clear amber

[placid kernel]

Oooooooh

[vivid rune]

So they look like actual fossils

[placid kernel]

That sounds sick!

[vivid rune]

Thats be sick as fuck

[compact umbra]

Would a cavalry based OBR be fun?

I just love cavalry

[placid kernel]

Yeah!

One of their factions is dedicated to it

The Stalliarch Lords

[compact umbra]

OhHhhH yeahHhhh

[placid kernel]

For cavalry they aren't that quick

[vivid rune]

Niccce

[placid kernel]

But pretty tanky

[vivid rune]

That entire army is tanky but sluggish

Second torch almost done

[placid kernel]

I couldn't decide between petrifex, null myriad or Praetorians so I just combined paint schemes

[vivid rune]

Hell yea

[placid kernel]

Oooh nice fire!

You should do crematorians instead, the way you do fire would look great with them

[compact umbra]

I know NH have a pretty fast cavalry based battalion

Ghost horsesss…

[vivid rune]

Who?

[placid kernel]

And NH get buffs from charges

[compact umbra]

The bonus is being you only have to roll 9+ instead of 10+ for the bonus attack on charges

[placid kernel]

The flaming Bonereapers

[compact umbra]

It requires a black coach though which is supposed to be the main downside

[vivid rune]

I know hex wraiths have a shtick where instead of charging with them you just move over units and have them take mortal wounds

[compact umbra]

But every self respecting NH player uses black coach

[placid kernel]

These are the crematorians

They blow up when they die

[compact umbra]

AGAHAHAHHAHAHAVA

[vivid rune]

Oooo

[compact umbra]

Imagine fighting a pure melee army with that

‘Fool, you may have killed my soldier’

‘But you have activated my trap card’

[placid kernel]

They also ignore cover too

Can't hide from the flaming boney bois

And boney gals

They don't discriminate

[lapis tundra]

Puddles being a goddess at fire again 🙏

[placid kernel]

That's what I'm saying

[lapis tundra]

Also i love that scheme, the effect on the sword is sexy too

[placid kernel]

Really good looking smokeless fire

[placid kernel]

I love all the rust and dirty cloth

[compact umbra]

Spectral Hunters: In the movement phase, immediately after this unit has moved, you can pick an enemy unit that was passed across by any models from this unit. If you do so, roll a dice for each Hexwraith that passed across that enemy unit. For each roll of 5+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound

[placid kernel]

Not going to give anything fancy to your suicide army

[lapis tundra]

Looks more like polished brass to me 👀

[compact umbra]

That seems…. Confusing

[placid kernel]

Ooh maybe you're right

[compact umbra]

What the fuck does ‘passed across’ mean

[placid kernel]

Don't forget the night haunts get bonuses if they charge too

[placid kernel]

Moved over

[compact umbra]

OHHH

I DIDNT KNOW THEY COULD GO THOUFH ENEMY UNITS

They are ghosts duh

But still

That seem fucking hilarious

‘Your wall of stone and soldiers mean NOTHING’

[placid kernel]

And if you roll a 10+ charge they instantly fight too

Well, all nighthaunts do but still

[compact umbra]

I know

There is a battalion that makes it only 9+

I was literally already planning on getting all of these anyway

[placid kernel]

I wouldn't worry about them, don't think battalions are in matched play these days

[compact umbra]

Ah

[placid kernel]

But if it's with friends then go for it

[vivid rune]

Yea they arent in matched play

People were really absuing them

[compact umbra]

Ahhh okay

[vivid rune]

And when i mean people i mean tzeentch players

[placid kernel]

If you like cav check out the scarlet calvacde for hedonites of slaanesh, speed demons literally

[placid kernel]

Who else but tzeentch? *Sitcom theme plays

And the Idoneth deepkin literally run solely Calvary lists that look sweet too

[compact umbra]

Why not

Just balance them out?

It seems weird to just smite them from play

Slap the new rules in a white dwarf and call it a day

[placid kernel]

Soul blight gravelords also have all cav armies with bloodknights

And their faction gets some pretty neat buffs

[compact umbra]

True I’ve looked at a lot of cav style armies

Also I have no fucking clue what is going on with COS

[placid kernel]

Only other one that comes to mind are vsranguard lists for slaves to darkness

[compact umbra]

It is, something

Cities looks so, bloated

[placid kernel]

Know nothing about them so I can't clarify unfortunately

[placid kernel]

Half the broken realms books add content to them too lol

[vivid rune]

Theyre a "you can make literally any army" army

[compact umbra]

So tryanids but Not as cool?

[placid kernel]

They also combo with alot of the order armies

Dark elves can combo with daughters

[vivid rune]

They can also take stormcasts, slyvaneth, or DoK in their army depending on the city

[placid kernel]

Wood elves with sylvaneth

[vivid rune]

Its not even that

[placid kernel]

Oh puddles put it better than me anyway

[vivid rune]

You dont even need to pair with elves

It just depends on the city

[placid kernel]

Yeah that's what I meant, just didn't know the nitty gritty

[vivid rune]

Living city can take the trees, hag morran or whatever the fuck the one morathi took can the DoK

And everyone else can take stormcasts

[placid kernel]

Can settlers gain combo with lumineth?

[vivid rune]

Its for every 4 units, 1 can be from the other army

Yes

[placid kernel]

Ooh

[vivid rune]

Fuck forgot that one

[placid kernel]

My mate wants to combo greywater fastness with fyreslayers

To have an og dwarven fantasy army

[vivid rune]

Doesnt work sadly

They dont have that rule for fyreslayers

[placid kernel]

Yeah its just for a friendly game though so in allowing it

[vivid rune]

Aight

Greywater is so good with artillery

[placid kernel]

Yeah I heard that's what they specialise in

But there isn't alot of artillery for them is there?

[vivid rune]

Cannons

Hellfire rockets

Organ guns

[compact umbra]

https://ageofminiatures.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Malignants-Start-Collecting.jpg.webp

Who the fuck is that guy in the chair

I’ve never seen that model before

[vivid rune]

That is an old box for an army that doesnt exsist

[compact umbra]

Oh

[vivid rune]

Its for Legions of Nagash

Which isnt around anymore

[compact umbra]

OHHHHH

[vivid rune]

That model is the coven throne

Or it can be built as one

Its got 3 builds

[twilit cliff]

fuck that looks cool

ideally i want to build terrain out of scrap though

bc what youre looking at costs like a million buckaroos

[lapis tundra]

I absolutely love it, omw to spend 500k to rebuild that

[full quarry]

Cereal boxes and corrugated cardboard were my go-tos way back.

[lapis tundra]

Chad

I used boxes too back then

[full quarry]

And Pringles cans for industrial tanks.

I even have a couple of bunkers made from the polystyrene tray inserts from the old times when Dreadnoughts were metal.

[twilit cliff]

chad terrain

i really like the terrain gw makes but goddamn

it's pricy

[lapis tundra]

Yee alas

[twilit cliff]

at least if you diy every single thing it'll all look nice together

[lapis tundra]

Might look into the necromunda terrain bundle they gonna do this weekend

Hope its affordable

Tho i kinda only need 1 more "stairs and platforms" set

[twilit cliff]

how do you know there's a bundle?

[lapis tundra]

And maybe a second one to be sure

[lapis tundra]

Oh sec

[twilit cliff]

(and maybe a third)

[lapis tundra]

There

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/02/06/sunday-preview-dominate-the-eightpoints-and-middle-earth-with-next-weeks-pre-orders/

[lapis tundra]

😳

But yeah

https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/LVDbQhrag3ux990A.jpg

[full quarry]

Such a nice-looking set.

[twilit cliff]

... how much is it

[lapis tundra]

Looks like:
1 Zone Mortalis: Gang Stronghold
1 Necromunda Zone Mortalis Columns and Walls
1 Necromunda Zone Mortalis Platforms and Stairs
1/2 Necromunda Barricades and Objectives
And no fucking idea where that single pipe is from

[lapis tundra]

No idea

Well see this weekend

[full quarry]

Pipe bit looks like a piece from the prometheum pipes set.

[twilit cliff]

im more curious about those tau made to order

probably not plastic right?

[lapis tundra]

Resin or pewter i think

[full quarry]

Mm, likely more finecost.

[twilit cliff]

myeah

dangit

[lapis tundra]

Could be, yeah

[edgy cipher]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j52bGVRqXo

[twilit cliff]

yeah dont remind me

which is why im going to build all that crap out of toilet paper rolls

[hoary ermine]

[lapis tundra]

https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/920x950/99220199082_BattlezoneMechanicusCharadonLead.jpg

Out of stock, the pipes are only available here :(((

[hoary ermine]

its probably integratable

considering GW makes all terrain connectable

[lapis tundra]

Well not out of stock, completely removed from the webstore

[twilit cliff]

yeeted

deleeted

[lapis tundra]

Gw being meanie

:c

[full quarry]

Dark Sphere has two in stock.

[lapis tundra]

Oh neat

[twilit cliff]

i got a bunch of diy terrain reference images

or should have

https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/mkr8sf/helios_the_hexbug_conversion_stalks_the_streets/

how to build rc IG army

[lapis tundra]

Oh neat

[twilit cliff]

i once saw some guys play a game of 40k on yt and the terrain had this uh

steam generator

[lapis tundra]

Imagine you are just chilling there and that thing walks around a corner and locks onto you

[twilit cliff]

to make it look more scenic

they commented its probably pretty bad for the minis though

and i guess theyre right

im not sure if varnish could help you with that

[compact umbra]

Think that night haunts are gonna have sub factions in the next BT ?

[hoary ermine]

do what propmakers do

use car paints instead of minipaints

Those are meant to take a beating

[compact umbra]

More realistic for ork models

[hoary ermine]

👌

[full quarry]

Very cool. Looks like something out of Iron Harvest.

[twilit cliff]

... for your models?

I mean it sounds logical but i'm 50% sure it doesnt paint well

[tiny cairn]

for primer its alot cheaper and makes minimal difference

[hoary ermine]

it works quite well but you have to know how to handle the paint

there are small tins to fix scratches

which is still highly durable stuff

[twilit cliff]

soooo

whats stopping people from just using car paint instead if it's so good

lack of color variety?

[hoary ermine]

price lmao

and not all paint is good for models

[twilit cliff]

it being just not feasible to have big cans of pain in your house

and yeah

there it is

[hoary ermine]

i had a car shimmer paint i wanted to use but it ate through my testpiece

was a good price though, 1L bottle for 8 euros

great stuff on metal

[placid kernel]

Probably, they do actually have two at the moment in the broken realms books

[twilit cliff]

i finally ordered a can of varnish online though

[placid kernel]

Emerald host and reikenors uhhhh condemned I think

[twilit cliff]

what does varnish actually do

[hoary ermine]

its see-through plastic coating

[compact umbra]

Oh shit nice

I’ll prob wait to paint them until the next BT drops

[lapis tundra]

Yeah i dont have any experience with car paint either, they would prolly get used a lot more if they were good

[hoary ermine]

basically, instead of scratching your paint, youre scratching the layer ontop of it

[hoary ermine]

it works exceptionally well in rattlecan format for cosplays

[compact umbra]

Wait a minute

The emerald hosts buff hexwraiths

Nvm no need to wait

[placid kernel]

Yeah, they're former knights after all

Gotta have good horsies

[compact umbra]

WOOOOTHATS PERFECT

I love that

It would be fun to put like

Those crusader helmets on their heads and make them look kinda like Bretonnians

No clue how I would get those helmets

But would literally be the dream

[placid kernel]

Maybe old bretonian models?

[compact umbra]

Also change the scythes to lances

[placid kernel]

Or if you search eBay for model crusader helmets I'm sure you could find them

[compact umbra]

Maybe, aren’t they metal?

The old models

[lapis tundra]

Or just 3rd party greathelms

[compact umbra]

True

[twilit cliff]

what's that tamiya superglue with the brush i see people using

tamiya extra thin cement?

[lapis tundra]

I think so?

[vivid rune]

All flames done

[lapis tundra]

Pog

[quaint halo]

Nothing says I love you. Like expensive plastic miniatures

[hoary ermine]

or a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates and a popped balloon and a few live ballons

[vivid rune]

Or like

Not partaking in the corpo nonsense hallmark holiday

[hoary ermine]

Valentines used to have meaning

oh well

[twilit cliff]

these are neat

[crisp forge]

yeah re-used props from spacehulk

its cool

[edgy cipher]

Atleast its good props

Looking at ogryn corpses rn

[hoary ermine]

what game is that?

[crisp forge]

Memedamunda: Hired Gun

[hoary ermine]

ah

ew but nice props

[crisp forge]

yeah the only thing holding this game up is the level design

[twilit cliff]

yeah undercity exploration simulator

ehhhh

[hoary ermine]

damn

sucks

[edgy cipher]

Heh no

[twilit cliff]

im not 100% sure but i think in this mission youre supposed to explore a sort of dome place

that was locked off long ago

i might not have entered the dome itself yet but i found it weird that theres construction stuff strewn around

but yeah play for exploration

the combat is shit

and the story is completely lost on me atm

[edgy cipher]

The story isn't good

Simple as

[twilit cliff]

but you can grab some nice screenshots now and then

[edgy cipher]

Combat is decent, you have a good bunch of options as the player and the guns feels good, its the enemies that are the issue

Ambots my unbeloved

[twilit cliff]

the combat doesnt sit right with me

feels too floaty

[crisp forge]

yeah its shit

lmao

[twilit cliff]

was this a nid?

[royal compass]

definitely looks like one

but I feel the right question is: is it definitely dead?

[compact umbra]

The question is

How the fuck did it get there

[rough scarab]

it's an underhive they dont have to explain shit

[twilit cliff]

met some stealers too

[compact umbra]

Wait the stealers are actually ah enemy in the game?

If so I have not seen them

[untold pier]

Yea, they are basically just the spacehulk ones

Which is a problem because you dont have termie armor

[twilit cliff]

yus

they also got some maguses

magi

[hoary ermine]

magSUSSY

break my fucking neck please

[violet quiver]

The combat in that game was horrible

[twilit cliff]

it is

[violet quiver]

What’s the point of having all this badass movement shit if the enemies track you perfectly no matter what

I dont understand

The movement was fucking sick too

[twilit cliff]

tbf i dont use half the movement usually i'm just double jumping and shifting around

and i use either an smg or a heavy bolter

[violet quiver]

But those guys employ some of the greatest level designers ive ever seen in my entire life

That has to be said

(In terms of art, not functionality or gameplay lol)

[twilit cliff]

yeah that saves the entire game for me

[violet quiver]

I really think it’s worth it for that alone ngl

[twilit cliff]

sometimes i think you should just pull up the console commands, delete enemies and just walk around

[violet quiver]

It really is spectacular stuff

[twilit cliff]

"holy hydraulic fluids"

[crisp forge]

awful

[placid kernel]

omnissiahs fluids? 😳

there you go, made it worse for you

[compact umbra]

Oh yeah what’s a good size for a first AOS army

Mainly an emerald hosts NH army

[placid kernel]

I started with a 1000 pointer

but if you are unsure if you'd like it maybe just run a 500 point list?

what kinda list are you looking at? what type of general do you want?

[lapis tundra]

Hot

[placid kernel]

probably, dont enough about hydraulics to say what temperature it would be

[compact umbra]

Mainly hexwraiths , banshees, one of the horde units, and the mounted knight shroud

That’s my main plan

And probably dread blades

Most likely a dread blade

I don’t know what to expect

But ghost horses

[placid kernel]

well a quick 500 point list could be a Knight of shrouds on ethereal steed, either one reinforced unit or two units of hexwraiths, and a unit myrmourn banshees

[compact umbra]

Sounds perfect!

[placid kernel]

the banshees could deal with a 500 point wizard easy then you have lots of cav and for such a cheap point game a pretty tanky general

all for 495/500 points

not bad

[summer elbow]

if nothing else, necromunda's set design is good insperation for tabletop makers.

it has trains!

[placid kernel]

choo choo

[compact umbra]

Quick question, I’m confused about this hooves and teeth, is it a separate attack or do you add it to your regular too

It seems like it should just pick but it sounds like you do both

[placid kernel]

its what the mount is equipped with

so the rider attacks with their equipment

the mount can also attack with its

[compact umbra]

OHHHHHHH

[placid kernel]

so double attacks essentially

[summer elbow]

aye. it's some scary shit

[compact umbra]

They still share the same health pool right? It’s not like ‘yeah the horses or dead but the guy is still alive ’

[placid kernel]

yeah yeah same health pool

[compact umbra]

Ok cool cool

[placid kernel]

some models have a damage table that will say when the mount cant do shit

katakros and his followers are technically all mounts

[compact umbra]

That seems

Actually really good with the 10+ charge extra attack

So you can basically get 4 attacks at once

[placid kernel]

well and with emerald host you can use the knight of shrouds add 1 attack to a unit for free

[compact umbra]

On hexwraiths and such

[placid kernel]

so if you have the two sets of hexwraiths as one big unit

[compact umbra]

Holy shit

So 6 attackers per model?

In a unit? That seems

Terrifying

[placid kernel]

if i understand correctly yup

well actually it would be 61

because the hexwraith leader gains + 1

[compact umbra]

bruh

[placid kernel]

lemme quickly do some math

[compact umbra]

How is this, not being abused constantly

Oh yeah like shit poor damage

But still

[urban harbor]

sound like the unit's moto is "we attack"

[compact umbra]

In more ways then one

[placid kernel]

so in one set of buffed attacks you are doing about 12 damage vs a save 3 unit

that isnt bad at all for 500 points

[compact umbra]

To be fair, any like, artillery would most likely gut this, but it’s only 500 points so unless it’s the space dwarves it shouldn’t be an issue

[placid kernel]

and that is just with the hexwraiths

[placid kernel]

well not particularly, all night haunts are immune to rend and have pretty good saves, assuming they make it to wounds artillery still only has a 50/50 chance of actually doing damage

[compact umbra]

True true, damn nighthaunts are cool af

[placid kernel]

myrmourn banshees are great at killing wizards too

well, pretty much any character but wizards in particular

and a knight of shrouds can either be used as a character killer albeit not a strong one or an annoying line breaker thanks to his constant healing

[compact umbra]

And with the hosts tag

[placid kernel]

oh and i completely forgot that they have a 6+ feel no pain so they are even tankier

[compact umbra]

So hero’s are shut out of luck

[compact umbra]

that’s the uhh, on 6 ignore damage?

[placid kernel]

yeah

feel no pain is old terminology sorry

[compact umbra]

It’s cool i know it from death guard and I’ve been using 40K terms

For like AP and crap

[placid kernel]

oh wait

with the emerald hosts the knight of shrouds is even better

plus one attacks with their sword of stolen hours

yeah that is a great character killer

and can wipe out a unit of elites if you roll right

thats pretty good

[compact umbra]

I feel like there is a gleaming flaw im forgetting about

[placid kernel]

is there?

you are pretty weak to endless spells

[compact umbra]

Hmm

Range armies wouldn’t really be an issue.

True

[placid kernel]

but you dont tend to run endless spells ina 500 point game

[compact umbra]

Did we just make the best 500 point emerald hosts possible?

[placid kernel]

tbh nighthaunts are a really good army to start with because they are pretty forgiving and there are lots of fun list building options and buffs you can combo

[compact umbra]

Very pretty models

And easy to paint

It’s like

[placid kernel]

oh wait

[compact umbra]

Perfect

[placid kernel]

where can you buy a knight of shrouds on steed

[compact umbra]

eBay? And maybe local store

[placid kernel]

oh yeah

like a tenner on ebay

aww but hexwraiths are online only boo

[compact umbra]

Weird that Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed isn’t on the website atm

[placid kernel]

a word of advice if you do end up expanding, lady olynder is a bitch to build and paint

[placid kernel]

yeah it was a promotional thing apparently

[compact umbra]

There’s a place I like to go to that always resell promotional models and crap

So I’m good on that at least

[placid kernel]

looks like you can get all of that for less than £70 if you shop right

[placid kernel]

but does have a beautiful model and some sweet rules so maybe worth it

[compact umbra]

Yeah I’m also more then willing to kit bash of use my printer

[placid kernel]

oh sweet, should be easy then

[compact umbra]

Yeah

[placid kernel]

they are also getting some new units in the upcoming box, dont know if you saw

[compact umbra]

I’m planning on giving all my hex wraiths kitbashed heads anyway

[compact umbra]

Oh yeah I saw

I want the bow guys

[placid kernel]

and the scriber mortis

pretty cool model

[compact umbra]

Oh yeah definitely

[placid kernel]

in a few months nh also get an updated tome

[compact umbra]

I’m most likely gonna but the normal knight shroud and put it on one of the dread harrows

[compact umbra]

Yeah I heard

Hopefully that doesn’t just completely this 500 point army

[placid kernel]

well the good thing with NH is there are lots of variety amongst point costs so you can always sub something out

[compact umbra]

True

[placid kernel]

their forgeworld model is also pretty cool

the morngul

pretty huge too

twice the height of a hexwraith

just noticed the square bases lol

[compact umbra]

I don’t know they had forge world modes

Oh model

Singular

[placid kernel]

unless you are khorne it is usually one model for AoS

khorne has like 6

[compact umbra]

Lmao yeah

[median pumice]

All that resin makes me worried itll break

Like. Imagine having to pin that?

[placid kernel]

its pretty chunky

[compact umbra]

How does they came from the underworld work? Is it like exactly half or can you pick and choose

[placid kernel]

wdym?

for every unit you set up on table you can set one in reserve

[compact umbra]

You can put models in storage and deploy them anywhere on the field 9 inches away from any enemy

[placid kernel]

you dont have to

[compact umbra]

OHH okay that’s cool

[placid kernel]

if you wanna deploy them you can

[compact umbra]

I was totally gonna just keep banshees in there and deploy them when ever

And probably get a replacement unit

[placid kernel]

keeping banshees there is a good idea

[compact umbra]

If I’m against like beastmen or no wizards or something

[placid kernel]

they are squishy so getting them where you want can be difficult otherwise

[vivid rune]

Man i wish it wasnt such a wimpy model

Its very low wounds for what it does

So if you try to use it like a big punchy monster it dies super quickly

[placid kernel]

yeah not the best unit

[vivid rune]

It works well if you keep it behind your frontline

Since it has reach with its attacks

[placid kernel]

yeah its a pretty good anti batteline too

[vivid rune]

Use it to spearhead behind your battle line basically

Have it kinda thriller shuffle behind you battle lines to where its needed for extra punches

If it gets stuck out by itself its FUCKED

[placid kernel]

yeah, think using it similar to necropolis stalkers is probably the best bet

i really hope the stalkers get lowered to 3 wounds at some points

[vivid rune]

Its coming along

Just got the statues on one side to do and then the treads

[placid kernel]

idk what it is that makes it so appealing

the colours just work well together

[vivid rune]

Got that gothic drip

Order of the bloody rose best order

@PopeBenny yo wtf why arent you riding around in this?!

[placid kernel]

oooh they were the one that sounded cool when i was looking at Sisters

what do they specialise in?

[vivid rune]

Melee

Hard melee

Their repentias can kill knights

😩

🙏

[placid kernel]

ooooh

sounds sick

[compact umbra]

Excuse me-

[placid kernel]

their dice looked cool too lol

[vivid rune]

Saint Mina, a mortal human woman with no genetic enhancements 1v1 a custodies to a standstill

With fucking nothing but a powersword

[compact umbra]

The fuck

[vivid rune]

She was one. Pissed. Off. Lady

She was the personal bodyguard of Katherine

[placid kernel]

the sisters seemed cool looking at them but i couldnt get access to the full info on them and what their different perks did

[compact umbra]

WIAT THE HEX WRAITHS HAVE LANCES TOO

[vivid rune]

And the founding saint of the order of the bloody rose

[vivid rune]

Sifferent unit

[compact umbra]

Damn

[vivid rune]

They build black knights too

For Soulblight gravelords

FUCK WAIT

SPEAKING OF

ÌF YOU AABT A CAV ARMY

HOLY SHIT

THE BLOOD KNIGHTS SPECIFIC SUBFACTION IS SOOOOO GOOD

AND ITS ALL CAV

[placid kernel]

blood knights are sick, getting buffs just by killing shit

[compact umbra]

Totally

[placid kernel]

and the crimson keep is cool

[compact umbra]

I’m making a cav based NH army

But yeah there are some very very cool cav armies

[vivid rune]

Theyre also the best cav army in the game atm

And prob will stay there for a long long time

[compact umbra]

True

But ghost horses, you can’t beat ghost horses

[vivid rune]

Since soulblight came out right at the end of 2, they were made with 3rd ed in mind and are really balanced well

[placid kernel]

I love the Vyrkos

[vivid rune]

Such a cool fucking dynasty

You know

[placid kernel]

but the lack of a decent general to put command traits and artefacts on kinda sucks

[vivid rune]

With nagash broken

The carrion king would be smart to make a return

Duuuude i hope hes the 1 new model for FEC when they get their 3rd ed book

[placid kernel]

oh who is this?

im not familiar with the name

[vivid rune]

Hes the progenitor of the FECs

Ge fucked off after he escaped nagash's punishment

And swore to return when his power wained

[placid kernel]

oh so the first human to be afflicted with their curse?

or was he more hand crafted

[compact umbra]

Do you think it will be okay if I give my Hex boys the lances, but paint them like the specter scythes and say they are the scythes

Just use the scythe and hexwraiths stats

[placid kernel]

oh yeah

[vivid rune]

Yea

[placid kernel]

i doubt anyone will care

[compact umbra]

Idk if it would cause confusion or not

[placid kernel]

nah dude the names of weapons sucks in AoS

[vivid rune]

He was driven insane and the curse was an accidental coping mechanism he made @placid kernel

[compact umbra]

Lmao

[placid kernel]

there are clubs called stuff like "torture blades"

[placid kernel]

ahhh gotcha

certainly sounds like a cool dude

im kinda hyped nagash is gone

[vivid rune]

Its funny

With him gone

[placid kernel]

even though my boi Katakros couldnt really give less of a shit seeing he is busy with Archaon

[vivid rune]

It build hype for his armies getting exapnded LMAO

because he holds them all back

[compact umbra]

Okay so the only bits i need for my emerald host hexwraiths are just the helmets and maybe greenstuff armor

Or armor from my maimed hellstriders

[placid kernel]

yup, i like how the OBR were his "perfect" army and then Katakros took the reigns and listed all the improvements he wanted

only Katakros could be destroyed by Sigmar, rebuilt once freed and still accept being called the undefeated because technically his new form hadnt been beaten

[vivid rune]

LMAO

[placid kernel]

we might be getting some actual ranged units, dont know why katakros hasnt asked for that already

[compact umbra]

I’m about to call my local store to see if they got the hexwraiths

But they are on lunch

I have no clue if the models are just sold out online or being phased out of existence

Probably sold out tbh

[placid kernel]

available for me in britain

also wait i am dumb

use the knight of shrouds ability for free, on a unit of 10 hexwraiths that charged that turn, and you are dealing 81 attacks i think

because ((2+2)x2)x10+1

jeeez

[compact umbra]

Bruh

500 points

For that insanity

That can’t be right

[placid kernel]

unless you are lucky they dont do much damage

but i checked all the wording

seems accurate

because both buffs are "increase the attacks for all weapons in that unit"

which would buff the mounts as well

[compact umbra]

True

But my main skill in life is luck

Bruh night haunts have 2 limited time units

Knight shroud on steed

Garkorr

That seems super annoying

Actually it is super annoying

At least garkorr doesn’t have any stats

[compact umbra]

Realistically this could all come crashing down if you don’t make that charge even in the first place

Let alone the 10+

[placid kernel]

oh yeah, this was supposed to be a perfect situation example

[compact umbra]

Lmao

[placid kernel]

also who is Garkorr?

[compact umbra]

When the 500th gw store opened it was a named model for sale

[vivid rune]

Yea hes just a bladeghiest rev

Hes an alternate sculpt

[compact umbra]

Cool af model tbh

I’m glad he doesn’t have ruled tho

[compact umbra]

Hello

Anyone know if storm ground is any good

[edgy cipher]

I've heard it was mediocre from the few people that played it

WHICH is the best lubricant?

DO YOU have to wash you models?
#Warhammercommunity #howtosculpt

Twitter · Feb 10, 2022, 8:27 PM

Please note this is lube for sculpting greenstuff 🤣

And the comments are colorful in the comments to say the least

[edgy jackal]

Lubricant for your greenstuff molding tools? Never really thought about it beyond water, vaseline seems interesting, but yeah, I fear it would stick too much to the finished product.

[compact umbra]

Water and Vaseline don’t seem bad

I normally used Vaseline and it’s a pain

[median pumice]

Some in the tags are just saying spit and water and i uh... hm... if it works?

[vivid rune]

@median pumice what works best?

Im in need of a hundred dollars for an event in the near future so im actively advertising for commissions for a bit! Anyone need stuff painted for warhammer or DnD? I can post some if my work if you need examples of my quality

Tfw you cant at everyone in this server lol

[violet quiver]

Yes i have an army of naked sister proxies ima need painted 🤓

I want everyone at my lgs to know how horny i am

[vivid rune]

Okay, you need them batch painted?

15 bucks a model for that

[haughty pine]

I might hit you up for that BT Redemptor dread after I get paid

[vivid rune]

Okie!

[median pumice]

Honestly ive just been using water... i have some fur molds from greenstuff world and im thinking of using like... maybe a lil vaseline or something to help separate it. Im gonna trythat nivea because that looks cleanest tbh

[vivid rune]

@median pumice can you libk that product? I need a fur mold

[median pumice]

I got it directly from green stuff world but its faster to get it offa ebay i think because of shipping delays

Ill dm you @vivid rune

[vivid rune]

Thx

[median pumice]

I got mine like... 40 days after ordering it directly? But they did arrive

[edgy jackal]

Greenstuffworld has quite a few neat things actually

Rollers, UV resin, fluorescent and glow in the dark paint

[median pumice]

These literally came in yeaterday after a shipping delay

Worth it though

The big black case is some sculpting tools... i thought i should upgrade from the dental cleaning tools i was using lmao

[lapis tundra]

Huh neat

[plush swift]

How did the 40kxMarvel thing turn out, was it cool?

Or did it spin the 40k lore in a shit way and SJW-ify the series like "The New Warriors"?

[vivid rune]

"SJW-ify"

[vivid rune]

Well the calgar comic is shit if you want to know

He just sorta...kills...everything

[hoary ermine]

As expected

[green cave]

That cog axe doesn't look that bad

[vivid rune]

This is a real panel

[plush swift]

Huh

[hoary ermine]

Yeah

[vivid rune]

This would never fucking happen lol

[dusk hill]

honest question why does anyone care about that

[hoary ermine]

I mean physically it should be possible for gravis armor to do that but....

[dusk hill]

everyone was flipping out abt it a while ago

[plush swift]

Well, If Ward can do it, so can Marvel 😥

[hoary ermine]

Hed need to fire off his ammo onto that neck before being able to

[vivid rune]

I dont really care...Its nonsense bad writing is all

[dusk hill]

it's a comic book, the protag does badass comic book stuff

[hoary ermine]

Poor mechanicus guys

Getting brazzers'd

[plush swift]

Fair point, It is a comic

[vivid rune]

Its just nutty and not really lore accurate

[hoary ermine]

Theres still a power level to adhere to

[vivid rune]

Thats all really

[plush swift]

Not official 40k lore, Like Ward Mary-sued the ultrasmurfs in at least

[hasty sorrel]

because its official 40k stuff, meaning that it is now cannon that he can 1h lord of skulls

his hands grow ever larger

[hoary ermine]

[plush swift]

Really?

[median pumice]

Just imagine one of his retinue, holding a bag full of melta charges just wondering what their purpose is

[vivid rune]

The sisters comic lays it on thick with how problematic their beliefs can be. They kinda just shoot and kill without even remotely wanting to understand or investigate whats going on

[hoary ermine]

Yeap

[dusk hill]

Canon doesn't exist tbc

[hoary ermine]

The comics are canon

[plush swift]

W H E E Z E

[hoary ermine]

This

Just overarching rules

[vivid rune]

Thats like same BL books are cannon lol

The only thing i consider CANNON is whats published in a factions recent codex as well as suppliments

Because thats the story GW is telling, not some bald dude with his own ideas

[elfin yew]

Nope

[hoary ermine]

Who will teach me smithing then

[elfin yew]

[hoary ermine]

He lost his hair in an unfortunate schmelting accident

Bloody rose right?

[vivid rune]

Yeee

[summer elbow]

Damn it feels like a crime this tank will get dirty in battle... but it will still look so cool.

[vivid rune]

So

I immediately got fucked

150 bucks to paint all of this holy fuck

[dusk hill]

That's honestly not a lot given the size of the model

[rocky badge]

big boat

[vivid rune]

Yeaaa....

I didnt realize it was this fucking big

Its over 3 feet long

[dusk hill]

How are you planning on doing it? I'd just be tempted to prime it brown, wash, drybrush, fill in any metal or rope details

[vivid rune]

Yeaaaa

[dusk hill]

Even that will be effort given the size but you are not putting any unnecessary details on smthn so huge

Spend like 15 hours on it and ur painting for minimum wage

[vivid rune]

Honestly my airbrush is going to help alot

@dusk hill best part. I cant touch my Eld. Omens box im getting tomorrow until this is done and a character mini too for 30

[dusk hill]

oof

[dark cave]

We have Squat simulator players here as well?

i was just trrying to make my first aos army list and i was confussed by waht a warscroll was

[hoary ermine]

its a dumb way of saying stats

[elfin yew]

In the defense of this sheet

U pulled a basic infantry 40k unit

And one of the named leaders of AoS

Also the 'stratagems' of AoS are on their sheets

[green cave]

Oh yeah rangers!!

[hoary ermine]

no i mean the names

both are dumb

just call them stats

i dont play aos but i do know a few terms because i do wanna get into it

Anyone recommend something nice to give it that little hover lift? Small plastic dowel mebbe?

Just to getit "hovering" maybe 1/8 of an inch mebbe...

[dusk hill]

Could just put some sturdy rocks on the base & superglue it to them

might be kinda fragile tho

[median pumice]

Im trying for a ruined temple white and black marble thing... so hmm... maybe that could work.

[verbal sapphire]

What I usually do is pin it with a brass/metal rod

that way you can really stick it on anything

Granted I've only done this for jetbikes so your mileage may vary

[median pumice]

I'm just worried about the balance, or weight.... Hmm.. I'll think of something lol

[dark cave]

hey small question but how large are Chaos Rhinos supposed to be? Found one off ebay and it's a lot smaller then I first thought. Are they supposed to be that small (not head height of a space marine) or is it an unfortunate reality and are getting an upgrade?

[untold pier]

ough, fav 40k vic, and u did a great job with it

[rain void]

rhinos arent too big
