[chilly summit]

And from my experience doing something like this feels more convinving than using snow paste for it.

[sage flower]

I was just gonna use spakle and model train snow

Rim it white

[uneven owl]

snow is something i would never touch

but thats me personally

i feel i would never get it right and hate it everytime i look at it

[sage flower]

Real af

[uneven owl]

but when i was looking at ideas i saw such a cool idea but the guy who did it i think bit off more than they could chew

ima see if i can find it

[chilly summit]

Something like this

[sage flower]

That's cool, but not what I want

[sage flower]

That's a bit closer

[uneven owl]

ok not what i was originally looking for but

alright found it

[sage flower]

These look sick as fuck

[uneven owl]

also i would never ever buy another kit with the intention of only using it as a kitbash. however, deathguard drone is only like 30 dollars and when kitbashed with a wardog actually looks so sick

couldnt find the one i was looking for

[sage flower]

The second one is a bit underwhelming I can't lie, but it's still neat

[uneven owl]

[sage flower]

I dig the pose

[uneven owl]

it gives me hope for an idea i have if i can find terrian model for it

i thought it would be neat if i could get a wardog kicking in a door

[sage flower]

That'd be funny

[uneven owl]

tomorrow im going to see how flexible i can get everything and still look natural

my worry is doing poses with the legs but not being able to get the hip right so that its 90 degrees with the base

cuz ive seen some model showcases of people where the torso isnt correct

but that one the hips are correct so the torso isnt tilted oddly

[uneven owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5GtYumEP8o

[sage flower]

I really like this guys videos, that one is actually made me want to get a Lancer myself, I just have a strong distace for his pallates

[uneven owl]

the torches are such a cool touch

[sage flower]

True

[uneven owl]

i got so confused and had to look up what the sprues looked like for these guys

thought they gave me the wrong one

[uneven owl]

Well I have to paint this model as khorne since I cut myself working on it

[sage flower]

Aren't you making a World Eaters army regardless?

[uneven owl]

word bearers originally but i might just paint different houses and not have them all one colour. seems thematic that way and it allows me to experiment with painting different colours

[sage flower]

True

[uneven owl]

ok this is more complicated than i thought and i need to go to the mall to pick up some stuff

[sage flower]

Finally got details on my orders

Combat Patrol and Lancer coming on Monday, Draigo on the 5th

[uneven owl]

went to get sticky tac and tooth picks at the dollar store i left with:
stick tac
tooth picks
hot glue gun
glue sticks for the gun
skewers
necklace for the chain to put on my models
slate chips
transparent elmers glue
soda pop

[sage flower]

Quite the haul

Is the Soda just for drinking or are you gonna use the cans for something?

[uneven owl]

The pop was just cuz I only have tea at home to drink and wanted something cool

[sage flower]

I see

[uneven owl]

i even looked through the toys to see if i could find anything i could use for bases

all they had was dinosaurs

[uneven owl]

https://youtu.be/tqSelvOZnHU?si=PueubsKWfKkgu1Xv

[uneven owl]

Got hella distracted cuz sajam slam and browsing the dollar store but day one progress

[uneven owl]

i went to check how the glue worked over night

and uhh

i somehow managed to super glue the lid onto my super glue bottle

[sage flower]

That's probably from bubbling

Just run some hot water over the outside and eventually you'll be able to twist it off

[uneven owl]

Ready for priming. Which I'm all out of

[sage flower]

Unfortunate, it looks sick

[uneven owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xV2KT5ckNU

if you wanted to do snow bases you could go to the time stamp for the bases here

[sage flower]

That does look really good

I'd probably make the cork a little more along the lines of a dark grey but it does look good

[chilly summit]

Deoends on mini
Here it's contrasting very nicely imo

[sage flower]

Dog got hops

Sprintless problems require sprintless solutions

[sage flower]

I just prefer the visual of the Grey Knights I got being atop some sort of mountain peak or something similar

[dull hearth]

I was playing Darktide and I came to the conclusion dogs still have no thoughts because look at this

BLESSED IS THE MIND TOO SMALL FOR DOUBT

[sage flower]

They got mad hops though

[sage flower]

Thanks, I was testing out some new metallics and I really like how they look

[sage flower]

Little man with a big sword

[sage flower]

Gotta say, I think I like these new metallics more as a final product, but like them less when I'm still actively painting the model

[uneven owl]

what paints are you usingh

[sage flower]

I've been using a mix of this one brand called FolkArt, and another called Acrylica

[uneven owl]

im going to be doing something new with my metal paint when i get around to painting. my wardog i primed in black but then blasted it with a grey primer from above. going to water down this metal paint and hopefully the effect is a greasy look in the darker spots and brighter on the top. i dont think its going to have a crazy effect cuz the spray was not controlled at all. easier to do with an air brush

ive also never watered down my metals cuz i didnt know how that would effect the flakes inside of it, plus mine is so watery anyway it goes on smooth regardless

[sage flower]

Diluting metallics typically effects the coloration in my experience

[uneven owl]

you just used water right, no mediums?

[sage flower]

Yeah

[uneven owl]

ill try both and see what happens. its the main reason i got that wardog box, practice a bunch of different stuff on big ass models

[sage flower]

True

You'll have it figured out in the end

[slim meteor]

[sage flower]

You a big fan of the cloth?

[uneven owl]

i just think they look the most fun to paint

[sage flower]

Kinda real ngl

[uneven owl]

plus easy to play

[sage flower]

Do y'all think I should actually work on my Combat Patrol or should I hold off on painting until my Kaldor Draigo arrives and paint that

[uneven owl]

me i like to practice on my little guys then take the time and really put effort into my characters

[slim meteor]

I just bought a foul blightspawn and my blightlord terminators.

I feel like I won't be able to eat for the next ten years 😭

[uneven owl]

https://tenor.com/view/granblue-granblue-fantasy-versus-nier-gif-7698765468829526864

[sage flower]

Gotta up your game, we're onto macroplastics

[uneven owl]

lol so while i was trying to put on the arms of my wardog the torso broke off from the waist and at the time i thought w/e ill glue it back on

however, the thing that snapped off wasnt what i glued on originally and its a much finer point of contact. absolutely cannot use plastic glue and now i gotta go pick up some super glue before i start painting

[sage flower]

The curse of Knights has claimed another

[sage flower]

Grandmaster's charge

I'm really happy with my posing on this guy

I also did it much, much faster than my first go around lmao

[uneven owl]

Alright so I did black matt primer and a grey primer. The metal on the black primer looks infinitely better. The spots you can't get to doesn't show cuz it just looks like shadow and a thinner layer makes the metal look more greasy on first pass

It's also much easier to see what you missed

[sage flower]

Yeah, I've been realizing that with my latest batch of Knights

Dunno what it is but the black primer just makes them look better

[uneven owl]

i think its literally the only thing i would use black primer for

i like cool colours and man did i learn my lesson from the last army i painted

[sage flower]

You could also use it to save time painting something black

[uneven owl]

well ya. if i made an eldar army it would be primed black

this is the faction i would paint but instead of yellow id go orange

[sage flower]

I'll admit I'm not looking forward to trying out my Imperial Knight scheme on the black primer due to orange being such a weak color

[uneven owl]

orange is what my first army was and since i was a broke college student i used paint on primer that was black too

took so long

[sage flower]

I can imagine

[uneven owl]

theres tricks you can do to help out but i havnt tested them so i cant tell you how good it is

if i was painting orange again though i think i would base coat everything red first

[sage flower]

I see

[uneven owl]

but since i have an air brush now i want to try the base coating pink and then putting yellow over it. makes a nice orange. i looked at people doing it with brush strokes and while the orange did come through it wasnt as good

[sage flower]

I will simply put down 20 coats

[chilly summit]

How's painting with airbrush?

[uneven owl]

dunno yetg

[slim meteor]

Finished my foul blightspawn

Overall pretty happy but some parts can be upgraded like the window je has on his back

[sage flower]

Bent sword Draigo

[uneven owl]

im going to see if i can finish the main body+arms today

i heard you can try to heat the plastic up to bend it into shape but i unno if you can after painting

[sage flower]

You can, it just might mess with the paint though

[uneven owl]

time to home brew this effect, wish me luck

[uneven owl]

Five hours left in this audio book. Let's see if I finish the book or my model first

[sage flower]

Finished Terminator squad + some touch ups to the Brotherhood Librarian

[uneven owl]

i under estimated how much id want to paint small details, and glazing

[uneven owl]

alright i put together my wardog and low key kinda hate it

one panel i painted upside down so the shadow effect doesnt make sense anymore and 2 panels you literally cannot see with its pose

also hate the base

[uneven owl]

I hate it lol

[sage flower]

It's a little bright, but it looks great

[uneven owl]

It's bright cuz it's directly under the lamp light. Not why I hate it

[uneven owl]

im going to attempt weathering so it doesnt look so damn flat

also i have an hour left in this tau book. elemental council is a good book

[uneven owl]

dont like how the tau name their stuff after human animals. makes sense if humanity called their vehicles that for documents and stuff but the fact that they use the names is stupid

But hey this is the same people who give tyranids fingers to hold guns

So what do I know

Slightly scuffed Purifiers

[uneven owl]

this reminded me of the space marine eye short tutorial i saw and i was sad i had no space marines to try it on

[sage flower]

I really don't think there's a better way to encapsulate my improvement than putting my first Grey Knight, and my newest librarian side by side

[uneven owl]

yea i think keeping your older models on hand is a good way to stay motivated. can visually see improvements. even if you paint a unit of 10 and if you paint 1 at a time. the first one vs the last one

[sage flower]

I think I gotta stick to one a time ngl

Painting a squad all at once just makes me sloppy

Even if it does extend the process from a couple of weeks to maybe a full month

[uneven owl]

He's a dusty boy but this guy is part of the first 10 minis I've ever painted. Years and years ago

[sage flower]

Also I desperately want to try my hand a Crowe again, I did him so dirty and I just feel kinda shitty with how he turned out

[sage flower]

There's some cool stuff going on here, even if I can see how it's rough around the edges

[uneven owl]

Yea your army has the same problem as my army. Just a shit load of details. Some stuff in my army is easy to paint in batches of 10 or 5. Like genestealers or abberants

But when you get the the cannon fodder.. I tried to paint them in batches but I kept missing details

clanrats with skaven are also the same. id mix up some details thinking its metal armor but its a hooded cloak, or miss the chainmail, or the ropes holding everything together

though i figured out a compromise for myself for that. base everything in groups then paint each one at a time with the details

[sage flower]

I'll probably swap over to that method

Also completely unrelated, but that Grey Knight Combat Patrol took like 2 weeks, and I still have the Knight left

[uneven owl]

i think thats pretty fast. i made up this numbers in my head from watching other content creators. but to paint 2000 points i figure its about 80-100 hours spent painting.

im also assuming you didnt paint 5+ hours a day for 2 weeks lol and just casually found time within 2 weeks

[sage flower]

I mean, yeah, but some days I did fully dedicate to painting, like the Nemesis Dreadknight, which took me roughly 12 hours

[sage flower]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Grey_Knights/comments/1ly79xh/finished_canis_rex_for_grey_knight_support/

[uneven owl]

bunch of content creators dropped their videos of painting this box

they do look like cool as space marines

[uneven owl]

first set of tsons built

[uneven owl]

lol GW needs to streamline rules in their games. apparently in the new HH rule book its 362 pages with 2/3rds being rules

theres 18 pages just explaining how vehicles work

[somber pivot]

People are complaining that a rule book is... full of rules?

This is also really funny since armor tables used to be a thing, then they stream lined their game

[sage flower]

I really like the coloring of the insignia

[chilly summit]

It makes it pop off so much
It's a base of dark blue, layer of lighter and few very light blue highlights
It gives it a bit of gem like look

[sage flower]

https://youtu.be/rnevRXwLsGs?si=TpAZuU5_XeYuzNzA

Just a neat history of the faction

[sage flower]

I know I'm mad late, but I'm excited for when you got a really big collection

[uneven owl]

ok so word of warning

if any of you use army painter primer that coloured, not the black or whites, be careful how you apply it

that shit comes out THICC

[sage flower]

Made big progress on the Cerastus Knight Lancer today

Built all the sections

Tomorrow I'll begin painting

[uneven owl]

i might start painting my tsons tomoropw

[sage flower]

Dope

I'm trying to think of how I wanna pose the Lancer

I kinda wanna make it run like my last Dreadknight, but I feel like that's a risky game

[sage flower]

Y'know

The Emperor's Champion model would be a pretty cool Draigo kitbash

[uneven owl]

Gw should have some sort of sprue recycle program. Some sort of in store discount

[sage flower]

That'd be nice

[uneven owl]

alright after testing different trims ive decided to use a brighter metal and wash it with a orangey brown. the other option was a brass thats really dark or a darker metal that applies like shit on oil and wash that with a brown

but i now understand why people hate trim. if you cant do it with silver metal or brass. needing 2+ coats of anything else makes me wanna die

also i cant do it anytime soon prob after summer. but i was looking at different models to look at parts for conversions for fun. that dragon i have that i was thinking of converting into a vortex beast i found 3 possible things

having the ball of fire, portal thing, or skeletal hand might be cool

Ok buddy

[sage flower]

Quick Lancer update

[sage flower]

The Grey Knights codex preview was so sick

[sage flower]

First attempt drilling gun barrels

I think it turned out pretty well

[sage flower]

Out of everything I drilled, I think this one's my favorite

[chilly summit]

Why Tau are hated when IG is not

Don't they play similarly

[sage flower]

Propaganda

Idk, I think T'au are cooler

For what it's worth though

I think everything is cooler than Imperial Guard

[uneven owl]

tau was hated because people felt their mechs were out of place and the fact they were dominate in an entire edition to the point people just refused to play against them casually cuz there was no point unless you had a sweaty ass list

[somber pivot]

when they were added they were the 'good boys' faction, which rubed a lot of peope wrong

they didnt have any of the mind control evil fuckery or causing international incidents

mainly they were cowards and only 1 tau has ever been cool

also being the dedicated range faction in a game that evolved out of a rank and flank game isnt super fun

[chilly summit]

Which is why I asked about IG. Isn't their gameplay the same?

Ig you can have Psykers at least

[sage flower]

It's extremely similar in a lot of aspects, yes

[uneven owl]

IG i think has more play styles but the play style most similar to how tau always plays wasnt much liked either i believe

[somber pivot]

id need to double check but its a combo of a rando tau having a better gun than you that shoot farther, and their flavor is meh

[chilly summit]

I see, ty

[somber pivot]

also the 2000s 'ew commie space weeb' was nad still is a valid reason for not liking them

[sage flower]

Idk I think Darktide is really fun even without 3 pentaquatrodecahexatrillion hours

i have a laundry list of stuff needing to be painted. but stress of life and painters block is preventing me from doing anything

[sage flower]

I've been very careful to finish what I buy before purchasing new stuff

I even got an app to track it

[uneven owl]

i tried that

but my genestealers technically dont count cuz i could finish what i have in a day

[sage flower]

I see

The benefits of myself being broke I guess

Also I supposed I should've finished my line of thought in asking which I should do next

[uneven owl]

i might try to resell the skaven i got cuz i dont really have itnerest in them anymore. but i paid 120 dollars for about 350 dollars worth of skaven. i got 900 points of ogres for the same price. genestealers was my first army. i unno why i bought the battleforce of wardogs but i really wanted to price painting them plus i think the army is cool. then my GF surprised me with thousand sons battleforce

practice painting*

[sage flower]

How have the Tsons been going btw?

[uneven owl]

thats what is giving me painters block

i cant get the colour of trim that i want right

so i havnt been working on it

[sage flower]

I see

[sage flower]

So what do y'all think I should paint next?

[uneven owl]

for me id paint a squad next since you did a big project. i like to alternate from passion projects to projects to help my army thats not as much fun to paint

[sage flower]

I mean the Retributors are a Sororitas Squad, but I can honestly pick those up at the store physically, so I'll probably put in a order for Crowe

[sage flower]

https://youtu.be/naMmECG-N1c?si=8iF5pitbSs6MpMkI

[uneven owl]

apparently 3.0 HH is a massive flub and retailers in the UK are selling the enw stuff at massive discounts cuz it undersold by a massive margin

[sage flower]

From what I've heard it's really bad, yeah

[uneven owl]

thats what they get for forcing people not to be able to use 30k models with their 40k armies

and for killing daemons

[sage flower]

The Grey Knights were too good at their jobs

[uneven owl]

i see they made draigo and stern legends in the new codex

[sage flower]

Got my first win in 40k earlier

[uneven owl]

nice, what point bracket do you play with

[sage flower]

1k

Though I have like 1.5k points worth of Grey Knights

[uneven owl]

nice

[uneven owl]

true

[sage flower]

I forgot to say, I put in an order for a Callidus Assassin and a new Crowe while I was at the LGS earlier

[sage flower]

New Grey Knights actually seem pretty dope

Especially having an actual Melta option is nice

[sage flower]

Y'know

I've been looking for some boxes to kitbash a custom Grandmaster or Brother Captain

And I think I might have an idea of what I'm shooting for, even though I can't afford everything

[uneven owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9H5DyHNsIk

omg this is the sickest thing ive seen

[sage flower]

Yeah, it's really good

[uneven owl]

skipped to the end just to see it cuz its not my army so cant do it anyway but i have to assume thats an expensive kitbash

[sage flower]

You bet

Only way to get either of them is in a +$200 box

[uneven owl]

its funny cuz i was browsing posts the other day and someone new to the hobby just wanted to buy the vashtorr wings for a cool kitbash and wanted to know how to get them

if only GW sold parts

[sage flower]

If they sold parts I would be cooking

[uneven owl]

i feel they could make a killing off just the wings of things

[sage flower]

Probably

I'd want to buy weapons and legs personally

[uneven owl]

my main army doesnt have cool kitbashes but prob the most kitbashed army cuz its so easy to save money

tsons have the potential for some cool kitbashes

knights have some kitbashes but you are already paying 200+ dollars for the base model

[sage flower]

Yep

I'm actually looking at a Skaven for the halberd head I want at the moment

[uneven owl]

if we both lived in the same country id just send you my spare skaven parts. but shipping over the boarder has become stupid

[sage flower]

Damn

Is it expensive? Or is there just a bunch of obnoxious paperwork?

[uneven owl]

its like 30 dollars base then you might be hit with processing fees they dont tell you about

the tsons my gf sent me i had to pay 100 dollar customs fee lol

[sage flower]

God damn

[uneven owl]

i think i said it before but you can always check out miniswap on reddit. im always jealous how cheap americans can buy from each other and its the dominate region on that

[sage flower]

True!

Apparently I can order the sprues by themselves, and they're like 30% the price

[sage flower]

Kits are bought

Can't wait to put them together

[sage flower]

Huh?

Ah

Real

I'll miss 6 inch charges with Lethals and a feel no pain against mortals

[uneven owl]

is that what its like to be an elite army

[sage flower]

Unfortunately Grey Knights are only Semi-Elite

Perhaps I should say fortunately actually

But no, Kaldor is just a notable outlier, he's extremely nice to have

He, Crowe, and Voldus all do big things for whatever they're leading

[uneven owl]

lol knights have a 60% win rate in grand tournies right now

i swear it isnt on purpose but all three of my armies are in the top 4 for win rates

im lumping knights all together

i honestly dont get GW balancing team. stop lowering points

[chilly summit]

Oof, poor Orks

[uneven owl]

at least they arnt imperial agents

[sage flower]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/GvN3O7Na0AAS6eD.gif

[sage flower]

Decided to snag an additional model for some deco bits for the kitbash

[uneven owl]

grey knights got a bunch of point changes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed2UwdyN66g

if you wanted to skim the updates

[sage flower]

I already read the full codex leaks

[sage flower]

We're back

I want to share what I've been doing for my kitbash in commemoration

[pliant comet]

"Certainty of death. No chance of success. What are we waiting for?"

[sage flower]

Just got done with my latest 40k game

Faught the T'au, won pretty handily with a 20 point lead

[chilly summit]

On how many points you played?

[sage flower]

1,000 points

He got just absurdly unlucky, couldn't really touch me in a meaningful fashion

[uneven owl]

I need to finish my cult. Tsons are causing me problems

[uneven owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3cS5H_OLVI

i wanna paint and make chaos but im so stuck on painting the metal

[sage flower]

They weren't lying, chaos trim got hands

[uneven owl]

its not even painting this trim its i cant get the right colour.

[uneven owl]

the most annoying thing about space marine chapters is its so hard for me to justify custom paint jobs

[sage flower]

Why? There's like eight billion chapters, you can do pretty much whatever you want with the paint job

[uneven owl]

Tsons just doesn't look right if it's not 30 or 40k. I've seen people do ghostly ones which are cool but I can't paint using those colours

[uneven owl]

i ordered my gold prigments..

[sage flower]

Custom Terminator/Grandmaster/Brother Captain kitbash

[uneven owl]

grey knight players only want one thing and its disgusting

[sage flower]

That's kinda peak

[uneven owl]

grey knights should have a primarch

Technically the Emperor is their Primarch, unless you mean a model equivalent, then yes

[sage flower]

Yeah

[uneven owl]

not on the store front i dont think

[sage flower]

That's really cool

[uneven owl]

my painting personal hot take

painting flesh is way more fun than painting armor

[sage flower]

I think that's just expressing personal taste, not necessarily a hot take

https://youtu.be/ItRNQ6OvZ1k?si=4bjwxeZQoX7vh3QU

I should paint the rims of my bases

[uneven owl]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Grimdank/s/LxIiFxNMbD

[uneven owl]

even though i have models for 3 aos armies, if i played spearhead i think i would go with daughters of khaine

they look so fun to paint

even though skaven have my heart, i aint trying to paint a billion clan rats

[sage flower]

Should I snag an Inner Circle Companion for some kitbashing bits

[uneven owl]

this makes me wanna paints my tsons

also for an army that has a shit load of swords, maces, and hammers grey knights have more shooting than i thought they did

i guess its the same as DA but DA have access to generic space marines

[sage flower]

I find it kind of odd that when it comes to hobbying, "Grimdark," is synonymous with weathered or aged

[uneven owl]

when you have 3 armies and no dreadnoughts

[uneven owl]

listening to the kieran show going over the new votann sounds like a fun and funny little guys

they can pin down units to reduce their movement so a mirror match would have dwarfs with only 3 inch movement

[uneven owl]

bought a second nailpolish holder for my paints and reorganized my workspace. feeling good

[sage flower]

I have a newfound hatred of push fit models

[uneven owl]

i hated them the second they were in my hands

[sage flower]

I developed a hatred the instant I tried to put on together

[uneven owl]

the new skaven are push to fit everyting and it makes painting them shit

wardogs have a push to fit arms and if i didnt have a dremal i would have raged so hard

cuz i had to sand down some parts that are hard to reach

[sage flower]

I literally just cut the rods off

Damn bot doesn't include the whole title

[uneven owl]

what do you use to play games axal? an app? printed paper? and for objectives did you buy the cards or make your own?

[sage flower]

My LGS has decks for the cards, unless you mean army cards

In which case I use War Organ

[uneven owl]

nah just the cards you draw each turn

[sage flower]

Yeah, my LGS just had them

[uneven owl]

thats cool

[sage flower]

Also I'm confused by the first portion, do you mean for points tracking?

[uneven owl]

i mean like keeping track of your squads stats and abilities

[sage flower]

Ah

War Organ

[uneven owl]

my first time playing table top games i brought the codex and had a book mark to each unit i had

flipping through pages looking for my rolls lol

[sage flower]

They haven't updated for the new Grey Knights codex yet, but it's been great for me

Just an example of what it looks like

[uneven owl]

ah thats pretty clean

easy to select your models too?

[sage flower]

Yeah

You can select the army, then detachments, then you do list building

It even makes sure your list is legal

You can option or out of legends models on a per-list basis

It's great

[uneven owl]

cool just played around with it

i was expecting annoying ass ads

[sage flower]

That's fair

[uneven owl]

ty

i recalled experimenting with a recommended one on a browser and it was the most toxic thing ive ever tried lol

[sage flower]

That bad?

[uneven owl]

it was just sop confusing

it was drop down after drop down

doesnt help i was trying to see what was legal and how to make lists in aos

[sage flower]

Yeah, that does sound kind of nightmarish

[sage flower]

Is it wrong for me to want to make a T'au army of only Battlesuits?

[chilly summit]

No, in fact, it's a commendable goal

[uneven owl]

It's one of the most expensive armies

[sage flower]

Yeah

I still wanna do it though

[chilly summit]

Honestly I'd want to get onto AoS instead of second army for 40k if I ever wanted

Or into a different wargame

[sage flower]

That's fair, but mechs are cool, and Battle tech doesn't interest me as much

[chilly summit]

I'd go into Infinity or With Fire and Sword

[chilly summit]

Do Eldars

And paint them in Eva colours

I'll be honest of I ever played Eldars I'd paint it that way...

[sage flower]

Kinda real, but I like the vibe of Battlesuits more

[uneven owl]

I'd buy a cheaper gunpla just to see if you enjoy painting flat panels of armor

[sage flower]

Reminds me of Armored Core

[sage flower]

My first model was a big vehicle, and it was fun, so yeah

[chilly summit]

Doing that with brush feels awful ngl

might regret cuz i have no idea how to set it up but we should run our 1k point armies against each other on tts

[chilly summit]

Sounds fun

[sage flower]

I'd be down

[sage flower]

I even have a rough idea of how to set it up

[pallid condor]

I have tts now so I should sit down and figure stuff for warhammer would any of you have a good guide for it

[sage flower]

We can talk you through the rules as we play, all you'd need is a list builder, for which I'd recommend War Organ

[pallid condor]

Ok ill be able to play in two days . I am in Budapest right now

i looked up battletech after you mentioned you dont wanna play it

had no idea its been around since the 80s

and the rules are more complex than fucking 40k

[sage flower]

Yeah, it's pretty neat

I am also not interested in playing it

[chilly summit]

Tbf it's kinda made in a way you can add them after some time. Don't have to play on full rules at first

[uneven owl]

who do you guys hope is the villains of the next edition

[sage flower]

Daemons

[uneven owl]

what if its a surprise twist and the big cheese wakes up and the villains are grey knights

[sage flower]

It'd be funny

[uneven owl]

yeah same but my gf, who loves gundams and mechs and stuff, is starting to show an interest in painting minis. thought id look into battletech to see how big armies are and how to play. i think she would love the idea of picking your pilot and weapon load outs. but the rules on top of rules on top of rules would prob kill it for her

also tau mechs look way cooler lol

[sage flower]

Almost forgot to mention, my Grandma is getting me the new Sanctic Conclave box

[uneven owl]

shes painting too?

you painting your weapons as power weapons btw?

[sage flower]

No, my birthday is just coming up soon

[sage flower]

No, I like how they look pure white

It feels stylized, which is something I think is important for making a paintjob feel like your own

[sage flower]

Pretty cool to see I can't lir

[uneven owl]

thats not grey at all!

[sage flower]

Yeah

But it's a surprisingly popular scheme in the community

I feel like I see it fairly often, and I can't lie I enjoy it in a kind of odd way

[uneven owl]

i saw a cool paint scheme for DG recently. ill see if i can find it again

It kinda reminds me of EoB's Death Guard, but it is cool

[uneven owl]

he has so many armies i have no idea how any of them are painted lol

i think ive seen him paint wordbearers

[sage flower]

He painted a sub warband of Word Bearers, yeah

[sage flower]

It's fun

He also probably doesn't allow himself to accumulate a pile of shame

[uneven owl]

yeah the last video i saw of him was him showing off his boxes of spearhead but they were all empty boxes

[sage flower]

I personally haven't accumulated a pile either

Because painting is fun

And I spent all my money

[uneven owl]

i have a pile but its not my fault

except 1 box

[sage flower]

[uneven owl]

the chaos knights

[sage flower]

i technically have a pile with GSC but the models came with box sets and i have no use for those models till next edition

yea

[sage flower]

Siege Studios (@SiegeStudios)

“I am the blade. I am the flame. I am the purging fire.”

Here is an awesome Castellan Crowe we have just wrapped up to display quality, and what a rewarding project he’s been.

For a quote or to book your commission:
https://t.co/Nx9uTpp0aw

A steadfast champion of the Grey Knights, Crowe carries the cursed Black Blade of Antwyr, a daemon weapon so malevolent it constantly whispers temptations to its wielder. Only Crowe, through unwavering will and psychic discipline, can bear the blade without succumbing to its influence, using it solely to purge the enemies of the Emperor.

The psychic flame effects were a particular highlight, with smooth transitions from deep warp-violet to ethereal blues and oranges creating a real sense of warp-infused energy. The silver armour was a pleasure to paint, allowing us to push contrast and reflection for that polished ceramite finish.

We also really enjoyed the fine detail work on the purity seals, inscriptions and gold edge trim…

[uneven owl]

i forgot to share something funny while i did my list building

so the first one obviously was the one i have irl with genestealers. the second one i made is an army i have but i dont have the models, its my tsons running grand coven. now around new years i was looking at doing eldar cuz i love the idea of their wraithbone constructs and its semi elite. didnt get into it for a couple reasons

but the interesting thing

my GSC at 1000 points is 30 models and the eldar list i made is 17

i was like thats not many models what would this actually cost to run irl

530 CDN is what those 17 models cost

[sage flower]

Lmao

[uneven owl]

my GSC was technically cheaper by a large margin

it gets iffy cuz one character is a conversion and another is kitbashed and one is a proxy

[uneven owl]

when laid out like this thats still so much id have to buy and paint

[sage flower]

Seeing posts makes me feel lucky since I love Grey Knights

[uneven owl]

yeah but grey knights also have some crazy details

[sage flower]

True, but I've come to realize I enjoy painting enough that getting the details is fun for me

[uneven owl]

oh i just noticed i fucked up

one of those cars should be a truck

oh well, i just wanted to see what 2k points looked like

[sage flower]

The great parts is you get to play 2k points too

[uneven owl]

sorry axal dont think i answered you. i was waiting for a family member to visit cuz im not sure what they want to do. i do have time for a 1k game if you want, but youll have to tech me how the rules or rolls work so we would prob need to jump down a channel

[sage flower]

I'm down for that if you're still available

[uneven owl]

yeah lets give it a shot

[sage flower]

Alright, join up when you're ready

[uneven owl]

you were right with the models per weapon. i had never seen that before but thats prob cuz ive only watched the edited battle reports

i never would have guessed

[sage flower]

You mean deaths-per-attack?

Or like

Allocation of damage

[uneven owl]

like when i was going to whip my unit and you told me only 1 model dies

[sage flower]

Ah, so yeah, damage allocation

[uneven owl]

also asked in a discord im in and feel no pain comes after all damage is allocated. you do get to roll feel no pain on meltas and on mortal wounds

[sage flower]

Those LGS boys knew their stuff

[uneven owl]

but i also cheated you on feel no pains

it has to be done model by model

[sage flower]

Ah

Oh well

They died in the end

[uneven owl]

i dont get why it does rules are weird

[sage flower]

Probably to encourage rolling one at a time for higher accuracy?

I'm not sure actually

[uneven owl]

cuz lets say i have 6 damage incoming. my guys have 3 wounds. the first model i pass 2 and take 1. even if i take 1 damage from the next model the first one dies, you cant split your damage

[sage flower]

Ah

[uneven owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ5ZzfZYPWQ

ive watched this like 3 times and i still cant grasp it

maybe that game turned my brain to sludge

[sage flower]

I think I get it

The example makes sense

So

The say the model has 2 wounds, right?

You've got two attacks dealing three damage incoming

The first model rolls three saves, fails two, it's at one wound remaining

The second model rolls three saves, passes two, it's at two wounds remaining

[uneven owl]

def see why people say GSC is a difficult army to play though. not saying i would have won but i shot myself in the foot with one miss play. not planning ahead with my charge in the center and getting my ambush marker destroyed hurt my odds

[sage flower]

You would've had to try really hard to screen out my Deep Strike to stop the reinforce

[uneven owl]

i dont think it would have been that hard. if i placed it with one of my units you cant deep strike within 9 inches i think and if you did have an inch to get in range i could have used a cp to move it up to 6 inches away. i unno the range of the guys either so i prob wouldnt have done it but i could have also put it in a place miles away from me so you would have to sacrifice a unit to be worthless for a turn or so to prevent my ambush. but tau have so much range that idea is prob worthless

[sage flower]

Everything except the stealth and the Broadsides moved at least 10"

[uneven owl]

yea but you cant move after a deep strike unless i read it wrong

[sage flower]

Nope

[uneven owl]

i also needed you to kill my acolytes one turn earlier

i had 2 resurgance points left over, i could have scored another 5 vp

[sage flower]

Lmao

[uneven owl]

i also have to find out if i can put my spores on any of your models or just ones deployed, originally i was just going to mark your farseer but thought nah its in reserve. i would have been able to reroll my hits and wounds lol could have maybe killed him that turn if he was spored up

which would have been hype

[sage flower]

Can you explain the rule to me?

Or like

Send a screenshot?

[sage flower]

Rules written like this are typically restricted to what's on the battlefield

At least, that's been my experience with ones like that

Okay

So

I found the Battlesuits detachments

And it has a strategem that not only shortens deep strike range

But also

A strategem that lets you move after shooting

[uneven owl]

lol next time i aint taking a melee army against your tau

[sage flower]

Good idea

[uneven owl]

I guess this makes more sense

[uneven owl]

Once they're in cult ambush, you can bring them back with markers as before, or you can bring them back as if they were in Strategic Reserves--which, although they don't explicitly say so, also includes deep strike. So it's basically the same, but it is a boost for the bikes compared to the deep strike, as they can now just come in on a board edge on your turn.

So in theory, ambush markers are now completely superfluous--you do not need them, and your opponent taking them away doesn't stop you from bringing your guys back. But the funny thing is that they're actually not useless at all. Opponents are less likely to try to deny them now, and good GSC players get plenty of use out of them. If you place them carefully, out of sight of enemies, you can bring in a unit on your enemy's turn somewhere safe, then move, shoot, and charge with them on your turn. This is a lot better than deep striking on your turn and hoping to make a 9-inch charge.

i guess i played my army completely fucking wrong

no where does it say this stuff

oh it does say at the very end "or following the rules of strategic reserve"

i could have plopped my genestealers on another objective lol

[uneven owl]

It's a shame you couldn't experience my abberants during their peak. Str 8, ap2, 4+feel no pain and that body guard ability. Also 3 damage

[sage flower]

That's a lot of words

Good thing I read all of it

[sage flower]

I'm not complaining

[uneven owl]

[sage flower]

Probably gonna be removed anyways

[uneven owl]

what units were your battle line btw

[sage flower]

For my T'au list?

[uneven owl]

yea

[sage flower]

I didn't have any Battleline units

[uneven owl]

dont you need 2 for a legal army?

[chilly summit]

you playing rn?

[uneven owl]

im not

looks like axal and gas are

[sage flower]

Apparantley not

[uneven owl]

everything i thought i knew was a lie

i guess their point is and the reason you would take them is they score objectives easier

[sage flower]

Yeah

[uneven owl]

did you pick up a new 40k books after sons axal?

[sage flower]

I got a backlog

Grey Knights' series, Crowe's series, Emperor's Gift

[uneven owl]

took out the twice dead king from the library and im half way through

im surprised how much ive enjoyed necron books so far

[sage flower]

Necron Books are insanely good to my knowledge

[uneven owl]

just used one of my audible credits for the next book

couldnt decide if i wanted another 40k book or a fantasy one

[sage flower]

If I can find a download of some 40k audiobooks I'll probably listen to some Necron books while I paint Sanctic Conclave

[uneven owl]

Did you find out about how secondary work

[sage flower]

Which secondary?

Or do you mean secondary points?

[uneven owl]

Secondary points. I screwed myself in our game cuz I was discarding and redrawing each time

[sage flower]

Ah

[uneven owl]

Do you only score them once and you always draw till you have 2 and if you discard one you get cp?

And does discard happen at the end of your turn

[sage flower]

You draw two at the start of your first turn, if you score points on the secondary you have to discard whichever ones you completed. If you failed to score on a secondary you can choose to discard it and get a command point. You always draw new secondaries until you're back to two cards

[sage flower]

Yep, and you draw new ones at the beginning of your next turn

[uneven owl]

If you draw one that says draw another if it's turn 1 or the conditions can't be met, do you shuffle that card back in

[sage flower]

In my experience, yes

[uneven owl]

Also screwed myself on that cuz I just threw the card away cuz I couldn't figure out how to shuffle haha

[sage flower]

You just wait for the stack to be picked up and then shake it around

[uneven owl]

I can't remember if I said but I handy capped myself so much. My detachment rule let me hit on 2s if I charged that turn. But that line was at the very end of the paragraph haha

[sage flower]

Damn, lmao

I think I remember you doing it at least once

You should paint your models frfr

https://tenor.com/view/minions-hypnotize-singing-despicable-me-gif-15465828745582198891

[uneven owl]

we should play again sometime this week. promise to take faster turns this time 🙃

[sage flower]

Sounds fun

What are you thinking on playing?

[uneven owl]

was going to play the same list till i stop forgetting stuff

[sage flower]

Probably a good idea

[uneven owl]

but i do have another 1k GSC army set up for their vehicle detachment too

[sage flower]

I'm gonna try out either Imperial Knights or Adepta Sororitas

[uneven owl]

also @valid goblet i was so locked into my game i didnt answer you when you asked. you asked why gsc over normal nids. didnt like the idea of painting nids, if monsters were good maybe id have considered it and got part of the starter set or leviathan box. loved the army rule of GSC and i wanted a hard army to paint so i could practice brush control off the get go. there was other things that also made me pick them but thats the tldr version

only thing i dont like about GSC is the fact i dont have a center piece for the army. patriarch is too small and fragile imo. also i might be fucked the next edition since im going all in on one detachment of melee.

[sage flower]

I got an addiction to Terminators

[uneven owl]

my tson terminators collecting dust

in more than 1 way

[uneven owl]

i could make this video in 13 seconds "wait till a range refresh 4Head"

[sage flower]

Buy Crowe, since he's already upscaled, and then wait at least a year for a refresh

[uneven owl]

if i was made of money i think i would start GK. the conversions/kitbashes are some of the best ive seen in an army

[sage flower]

I mean, Grey Knights are a pretty cheap army too, but yeah, I get that

the one you just posted

[sage flower]

Lmao

[uneven owl]

i was trying to find a match on tts to see how fast the games go when people know the macros

it was all just emperor tts lol

[sage flower]

Probably because it's peak

[sage flower]

I can see why Custodians are so cheap, 'cause this is all I wanna do with them

[uneven owl]

cheap till you have to buy forgeworld

[uneven owl]

finished the first twice dead king

good read

[chilly summit]

Cool

@sage flower @uneven owl Who won?

[uneven owl]

i got creamed. we gotta do a rematch where i dont forget everything and lose free points

the tau empire squashed the human rebellion with their battle suits

think it was 2 broadsides just sat their asses down and sniped me all game. one epic moment where one of them hit my ridgerunner and one shot it

from literally one corner of the map to the other corner

wow they are only 90 points? sheeesh

[chilly summit]

Would you want to play too some time?

[uneven owl]

i could be convinced. just worry about our timezones

[chilly summit]

yeah, so do I

it'd be hard

[sage flower]

Despite what Compound said, I think they did really well. It's just that I managed to shoot 90% of their army off the map and break away in scoring in the last two rounds.

[sage flower]

Yeah, they're pretty cracked

A brilliant custom Redemptor Dreadnought from the Wave Breakers chapter, completed as part of an army phase commission!

The split-tone colour scheme was a real joy to work on. The rich royal blue really stands out against the crisp white, creating a striking contrast that fits the chapter’s identity perfectly.

For the base, our client chose a beach-themed style to match the chapter’s name and overall aesthetic. We especially enjoyed adding the beach defences they requested, which brought an extra touch of character to the model.

[uneven owl]

had to order new paint brushes

[sage flower]

Did something happen to those nice ones you got?

[uneven owl]

i dont use the nice ones for basing unless its detail work. the bristles are so soft its harder to paint large surfaces

[sage flower]

I see

[uneven owl]

but i guess i dont have a 0 size or 1 size anymore so bulk ordered some cheap one. the one i was using kept spliting

[sage flower]

I actually started painting the rims on my bases maybe half an hour ago

[uneven owl]

dont remind me about bases. i still have no idea how to base my purestrains

[sage flower]

What's your favorite type of biome or climate?

[uneven owl]

oh everything is going to be urban, ill show you my problem. give me a second

So here's some basic ones I've done to give you some idea

Problem is genestealers over half of them are leaping off shit and most look alien

So I haven't figured out how to make some of them look more natural

[sage flower]

You could use plastic card to make it look like they're running over cracked asphalt of cement

[uneven owl]

i have a funny idea for my sactus though

since its a kitbash

and i dont want people looking at it cuz ill hate it

[sage flower]

What's the idea?

[uneven owl]

you know like doors like this that are built into a building. i thought it would be kinda neat to have him inside of one like he was waiting for someone to round the corner. i unno if ill like but ill build it after i finish making his cape and see how i like it

[sage flower]

That's a sick idea icl

[uneven owl]

it can also work cuz the legs i stoke from another leader make him lean a little so having him lean towards to edge will make it look less bad

stole

Finished the 40mm bases, gonna do all the smaller ones tomorrow

A vibrant and striking Tau Riptide battlesuit from a completed army phase we have just finished up.

For a quote or to book your commission:
https://t.co/Nx9uTppy04

This mega miniature has been painted in a rich crimson with some modulated shading across its panels to add some contrast to areas of the miniature.

The green energised shield detail and other accents were really fun to paint. We finished the piece off with a neutral toned desert base which really set the scene of the army and contrasted the miniatures perfectly.

I think it's just HH Dread, but that does sound like a cool kitbash

this might be the best dwarf game after deep rock

130 models is too many man

[sage flower]

Real

[uneven owl]

i was never interested in host of ascension detachment but since there is tts i actually looked at their rules and stratagems and looks fun and very genestealer culty. looked at the compeitive lists and its 130 where 100 of the models are just the most annoying things to paint

I mean

That's more than 90% of the guys at my LGS

[uneven owl]

3 units of shitty neophytes are 200 dollars before discount...

maybe i made a mistake

Are the Neophytes for scoring?
