Warhammer

[sage flower]

With three squads of Neophytes?

[uneven owl]

the combat patrol is only good if you wanna run their vehicle detachment

nah just something for a discount for the army

[sage flower]

I see

Would be neat

[uneven owl]

this was their old combat patrol

insane value

[sage flower]

Such is the way of James Labourhold

[uneven owl]

compared to the new one

nearly 20 model difference

[sage flower]

Yeah

Thankfully Grey Knights are still doing pretty alright, thanks to the new Combat Patrol and the Battleforce being a genuinely really good combo to get into the army

[uneven owl]

do you know how deployment in vehicles work? do you deploy the transport with the units in it or do you deploy the transport then deploy a unit inside it later?

[sage flower]

You deploy the transport with the unit already inside

[uneven owl]

tried mixing my gold paint cuz im bored. applying it was nice and easy. think i messed up on mixing it

[uneven owl]

this is what peak tau look like btw

[chilly summit]

It was average, nothing too special

Playable is the best word

[uneven owl]

just remembered genestealer combat patrol magazine or w/e it is starts in nov, still not in canada so rip to getting some cheap ass models

[uneven owl]

content creators uploaded their impressions of the game an hour ago

[chilly summit]

Ieamt Iron Harvest, sorry

O meant

I meant

[uneven owl]

i knoe

but didnt want to type out your name so i just replied

[chilly summit]

Ah

[sage flower]

Knights and DG got big nerfed

Surprised Warglaives didn't get nerfed ngl

[uneven owl]

They needed it

[sage flower]

Definitely

I actually think DG needed to be nerfed more

[uneven owl]

Did anything else change in points

Or was it just these 3 armies

[sage flower]

Just these 3 to my knowledge

[uneven owl]

If you wanna do a match tomorrow let me know

[sage flower]

I'm free all day tomorrow, so I'm down

On a related note, the Battleforce box arrived

[sage flower]

This might be my favorite Kitbash of all time

[uneven owl]

Yo nice

Do you nearly have 2k points now

[sage flower]

If I ally in one of my Knights I can get 2k perfectly

[uneven owl]

Is that a free rule or detachment specific

[sage flower]

Free rule

[uneven owl]

That's cool

Gotta take your lancer for max melee

[sage flower]

Benefits of being the Grey Knights, they got a really nice list to ally in

[sage flower]

You'll never guess which one I took

Btw, did you see EoB's new video?

[uneven owl]

Nah I've been out all day

I just picked up my controller for fighting games too. Heading home now

[sage flower]

Nice

He did a video on painting an Ossiarch Bonereapers Spearhead

[uneven owl]

I decided if I get aos I'd get sylvanth

[sage flower]

That's fair, but the skelebros look really cool

[uneven owl]

I like the joke that they are just necrons

[sage flower]

They kinda are

But both are dope, so it's chill

[uneven owl]

space marines are stupid but aggressors look kinda ballin

[uneven owl]

watching EoB video you mentioned. im so jealous he has the nippers i want

im also jealous he can just play so many games in person lol

[sage flower]

normally i hear how AoS is always winning over 40k but this new nighthaunt launch has been brutal. even people who dont play as the army is taking pity on them

[uneven owl]

how long do you think? if its going to be a minute still ill get some washes done on my models

[sage flower]

It'll be a while

[uneven owl]

kk

is it a grandmaster knight dreadnaught ?

[sage flower]

Yeah

Grandmaster in Nemesis Dreadknight

[uneven owl]

sorry axal did you say you wanted to see them with the wash or after i highlight

[sage flower]

I'll wait for the highlight

[uneven owl]

lets postpone to another day eh lol

[sage flower]

Yeah, I wasn't expecting this to take as long as it is

[sage flower]

Finally finished

[uneven owl]

very cool

[sage flower]

I think it turned out fantastic

Definitely worth the

13 hours it took fr fr

[uneven owl]

have you looked into all the features tts offers that we didnt use btw

The Silent King which we loved painting in a different scheme, the black throne gives a menacing and cold feel that the character deserves.

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

Using magenta, yellow and turquoise as per our clients spec we used the colours strategically to add interest to certain parts and also frame the Silent King.

This was a super impressive miniature sculpt and painting it to our Platinum level with non metallics across various pieces and surfaces was a joy.

How do we feel about this? I think it's sick

[cunning leaf]

from the moment i understood the weakness of my flesh

[sage flower]

That's a sick cosplay

[uneven owl]

couple things about the video. the sponsor is sick if you dont own a tool like that i recommend. ive used my dremel 2 or 3 times and both were niche but if i didnt have it id have hated the hobby. secondly ive always wanted a resource that shows the colour names between brands but the best one im told is locked behind a patreon, the others ive found are kinda shit. i dont own enough paints to do something like this but i could see myself in the future doing it

[sage flower]

I'm probably gonna try to snag a preorder ngl, even if I won't be able to make proper use of it for a long time, I still want to see it do well

[uneven owl]

Well let's see how these dry tomorrow

[sage flower]

THose look sick

[uneven owl]

Bases are green stuff. Used my armies wheels and ran over it. Then used some texture paste for ground texture. Idea is they are walking over the mud or dirt that the jackels went ahead of the army

[sage flower]

That's really cool, and it's really well executed

[uneven owl]

if i like it ill do it on my aberrants that im currently working on. if not i have an idea though its more of a pain in the ass. the models are pretty big on the base

if you wanna run a game today im now free for the rest of the day

[sage flower]

No, my grandparents arrive in an hour at most

[uneven owl]

finishing painting today it is then 🙂

im so dumb. i lost my goated recipe for painting aged bone and ive been avoiding it cuz i didnt want to figure it out. i can just watch any tutorial on bonereapers

[sage flower]

Lmao

[uneven owl]

i was recommened to check out this battle report to see how an army plays and wtf 760 points for 1 model. i think that was my entire battleforce box

[sage flower]

Lmao

Yeah

Fantasy has actual unit prices

[uneven owl]

asked reddit which armies are like genestealers in terms of tricks and just popping up around the board

[sage flower]

What'd they say?

[uneven owl]

oh i was also asking if you played around with the tts features cuz nearly everything is automated. scoring will automatically cap with certain objectives, objective card draw is automatic, CP gain is automatic, there is a wound counter on the board, and there was some other nifty stuff too

kruelboyz was mentioned but that was lame, sylvenath was a top contender, but for this battle report people were saying to check out the new rules for flesh eater court

the skydrawfs was also mentioned because they have flying units but also the only army in the game with a transport or something

[sage flower]

[sage flower]

[uneven owl]

Still some stuff I'm going to work on but it's minor detailing but last units of abberants done

6 and a half more models and I'm finished

[sage flower]

Hell yeah, looks sick

[uneven owl]

Welp that sucked. But we learned a lot

[sage flower]

Sick sculpting

[uneven owl]

[sage flower]

[sage flower]

@chilly summit

[uneven owl]

you busy tomorrow axal?

[sage flower]

Yeah, I got my first 2K game tomorrow

[uneven owl]

oh good luck

[uneven owl]

put all my genestealer models into a list, including proxies and kitbashes and im only at 1515

[uneven owl]

i think i might be the dumbest mfer on the planet

or gamesworkshop ripped me off

im missing the sprues of an entire unit. its not with my other ones and i def didnt build them...so i either threw them away thinking i was finished with it, which i dont do cuz before i throw them out i cut everything off it and store them, or i never received them in my combat patrol

[chilly summit]

speaking of proxies

spot the original

paid $12 for these

[uneven owl]

nice

i should get into contact with a local who sells their services on a 3d printer

[chilly summit]

gw would want me to pay ~$80 for three small minis

lol

lmao

also ethereal should not be flying that much

but

i think it looks fun so it stays that wy!

way*

[uneven owl]

they took down their facebook marketplace ad

rip

was looking at how to expand my army and budget for a box or 2 next month. i think im done buying for biosantic broodsurge specific. should get some more general units

the characters is the one thats rough. they look so cool but i could in theory kitbash literally every character

[uneven owl]

my year of painting is coming up in a couple months. i should treat myself by buying some cool model and using everything ive learned over the year. see how much ive improved

[sage flower]

I did some research on AoS

Slaves to Darkness is sick

[uneven owl]

Ya but painting them isn't

[sage flower]

Maybe so, but I'll have to see if that'll be the case for me or not

[uneven owl]

which detachment are you running today

[sage flower]

The dude I was gonna play postponed our game to either Wednesday or Thursday

[uneven owl]

[sage flower]

[sage flower]

Yeah

Surely there wouldn't be any particular Space Marines that make blue lame

[steep zephyr]

surely

[uneven owl]

i unno about you guys but i hate painting weapons, never know what to do with them

[sage flower]

I'm glad the inquisition hand delivered me a scheme for my guns, because if they hadn't they would be unpainted

[uneven owl]

is the scheme grey

[sage flower]

Compound

You've seen the guns

God knows how many times by now

[uneven owl]

i was just making a grey knights joke

[sage flower]

Kinda real

If I had seen it

[uneven owl]

regular guns i think im ok with. mostly black, high light with grey, add scratches with metal or grey, brown for the handles. but when you get to the big guns that kill your target and everything around it im at a total loss

like how do you paint a siesmic cannon

[sage flower]

Idk, but this is how I painted a Conflagration Cannon if it's any inspiration

[sage flower]

Got another Terminator banged out

[uneven owl]

I guess it's not the worst. Gotta wait for the wash to dry to continue

[sage flower]

Looks sick

[uneven owl]

Compared to the first heavy weapon I painted last November

[sage flower]

They both look great, just in different ways imo

[uneven owl]

Thanks for the compliment but that last picture is ass. Shows how much I don't know which details to pick out. Tubes aren't painted, cannisters aren't painted don't think anything is high lighted or dry brushed

[sage flower]

I mean, if you really want to, you can always do some touch ups, make it look more in line with what you'd do nowadays

[uneven owl]

nah i like to keep them so i can always look back to see how far ive come

as a motivation

A car is cheaper than this image

Also it took me 3 session to finish just these 3 guys. I still have the icon holder and leader to do. What do you mean normal armies have like 20 of these guys.

Also they aren't technically even finished

[chilly summit]

Why

[sage flower]

How do you justify a purchase like this

[sage flower]

Man, I can't wait for my Callidus Assassin to arrive

[uneven owl]

also to the tau post, i didnt read it but i assume the OP bought that all second hand at a discount since they havnt had start collecting boxes for like 3+ years

[sage flower]

Even then

[uneven owl]

im amazed at resellers only selling in bulk. theres a post on my facebook market place for genestealer cults. i want everything they have to offer, but i dont wanna buy the entire thing. selling it for 650 no trades or splits

[sage flower]

I do all my second hand buying on eBay

[uneven owl]

i would but after the shipping cost i may as well buy everything new lol

must be nice living in usa

[sage flower]

Free shipping is pretty nice, yeah

You should be able to filter by it, actually

[sage flower]

Logan Grimnar would be a good kitbash...

I have to much free time

[uneven owl]

Every 40k faction is trying to figure out how to use this model in their army

Well, mostly the zenos armies

[sage flower]

Like

In kitbashing?

[uneven owl]

Kitbash or proxy

I could proxy this guy as a magus in my army

[sage flower]

Cool

[uneven owl]

This one though people want the base, take the seer off, and put their character on it instead

[sage flower]

Yeah, seems like a cool idea

I got a great opportunity to make a Voldus proxy

[uneven owl]

i gotta stop browsing reddit when im bored. i keep seeing people share their cool ass spearheads

[sage flower]

Real af

[uneven owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlO1ia8-MAA

[uneven owl]

i unno if im stupid or what but i cant figure out how to find local 40k games

[sage flower]

Do you have a LGS?

[uneven owl]

the guy told me theres a facebook group but when i try and find it i see nothing

[sage flower]

Do they not have a card or anything of the sort?

[uneven owl]

they said it wasnt a group for the lgs just for my city. said i post there and list the stores i go to and people respond

i asked my province discord for this stuff and they linked me to 2 discords for lgs that are so far away from me thats its not helpful at all

and its super sus to go to a lgs discord and ask for games to be played in a different one imo

[sage flower]

Yeah

[uneven owl]

ok i think i found the group, 95 posts in the last month. the other 3 groups had like 3

[sage flower]

Dope

[sage flower]

The dude who was gonna give me the Saturnine Praetor Hammer today forgot it apparently, hopefully I'll be able to snag it Thursday before or after my game that day

[uneven owl]

well its too hot to paint in my house but finished the highlights on my heavy mining guys so thats one less thing to worry about

also for that model did you say if you were using the whole thing or just the hammer?

[sage flower]

Just the hammer

I wanted the axe for a different idea, but I'm not gonna pass up a Voldus Proxy

Genestealers are funny like that

[uneven owl]

he also caused both his benefictus heads to explode cuz of hazard rolls

left on read with those gsc models

[sage flower]

Unfortunate

I just got back from my game

It went poorly, but I had a blast

And there was one really funny moment

My opponent needed twos to hit

[uneven owl]

what army did they run?

[sage flower]

Emperor's Children

I had two really unlucky moments that I think screwed me over for the game

The first being when Fulgrim killed my Knight after I rolled zero 4+s

The second being when Fulgrim one shot my GMKD by a single wound

Personal highlight was when I killed Fulgrim in my last turn

[uneven owl]

nice

i have no idea how my army is suppose to deal with targets like that

[sage flower]

Yeah, Crowe came in clutch on the Purifying Flame

Also, apparently I've been playing my detachment wrong

You apparently natively reroll ones even without Hallowed Ground

And when you do have Hallowed Ground, you just reroll all failed hits

[uneven owl]

did they tell you that while playing or at the end lol

[sage flower]

While playing

[uneven owl]

oh ok, lol be a funny move if they told you after they won "oh btw you can do this"

[sage flower]

Yeah, kinda

[uneven owl]

if you wanna play this weekend let me know

[sage flower]

I got my volunteer work this weekend

[uneven owl]

kk

[sage flower]

But I am free the following Monday

[uneven owl]

ill let you know, its a long weekend here so friends might wanna get together

[sage flower]

Sounds good

[uneven owl]

learn any new tactics though?

[sage flower]

I learned about interruption

[uneven owl]

is that like the charge you can do when someone declares a charge?

[sage flower]

During the fight phase you can spend 2 Command Points to essentially give a unit Fights First

[uneven owl]

oh

[sage flower]

Yeah, it's pretty decent

It saved a unit of mine

[uneven owl]

i have a character that gives the unit its in firght first, it can also be in a unit with another characters. people rate it either top tier or bottom tier. never in the middle

[sage flower]

I can see how it'd be polarizing

[sage flower]

Cool

Seems like a really fun character to run

[uneven owl]

bruh, 2 more GSC selling ads went up since i last looked. one is selling for 900 dollars and the other 1400. no splits. do people actually buy bulk like that? am i just poor

but even though i got smashed again i learned a lot. need my metamorphs farming a point for CP and if that point is in a corner i need to position them so you can deep strike into the corner

Screening models out is tough, and yeah, it's really unfortunate that you missed out on your shooting phase, could've been a game changer

what was your intrupt btw? is that model specific, detachment specific, or a general everyone has access to stratagem?

[sage flower]

It's a general strategem

Costs 2 Command Points

[sage flower]

He was full

[uneven owl]

noted. might have to try that one time

[uneven owl]

well if you ever want to run it back for practice let me know. determined to have a game where i dont have any major fuck ups

[sage flower]

Yeah, I'm down for a runback in the future

[uneven owl]

ah counter offense worked differently than how i thought it did

[uneven owl]

also this is the funniest truck ive seen

[sage flower]

Lmao

[uneven owl]

fixed my list too

also 40k rules are worded so confusingly. im pretty sure i would have been able to hit your nemesis even though you didnt attack one unit. it just says all remaining eligible units get to fight. earlier in the rules it says to be eligible it just has to be base to base touching

[sage flower]

Yeah, it's a mess

Part of why I was unintentionally making my detachment worse

[uneven owl]

i also totally cheated you on demo charges but it didnt end up doing anything so

didnt end up doing anything meaningful*

[sage flower]

How so?

[uneven owl]

i thought all my guys get it, but only 1 out of every 5 can use it and it replaces their main weapons

[sage flower]

Ah, I see

[uneven owl]

and it only tickled your lancer

[sage flower]

Lancers are really tanky

Everything I run is really tanky, actually

[uneven owl]

yeah i was talking to another gsc player and got some good advice

against that game type i put more in reserve so theres far less for you to kill and i just work on objectives. win on objectives and lose on unit kills

[sage flower]

Yeah, that's the name of the game

[uneven owl]

i should also just be sacrificing units in the middle to prevent and tie up movement

once you get on those points its brutal to get you off

[sage flower]

Helps that my frontline is all Advance, shoot, charge, and then I get to selectively reinforce the frontline with units from deep strike

[uneven owl]

also i dont know if you did it on purpose or not but leaving one ab and the biophagus alive hurt me cuz i couldnt cult ambush it so it was just a dead unit just holding an objective waiting to get sniped off the point, big brain move

but the guy said thats one of the reasons you use half units instead of full ones

much easier to bring back and cause problems

[sage flower]

I can see that, also leads to more board control in theory

[uneven owl]

now that i only have character models left to paint i have to hold myself back from spending like 100 bucks on 2 boxes of units

[uneven owl]

TIL infantry can just move through walls

[chilly summit]

How did your game go

[chilly summit]

What's wrong with Orks

Also weren't DE one of the best few years ago

[uneven owl]

went pretty bad, so many rules

ended up forfeiting

Greed and Gluttony! A truly awesome commission and idea by our client to have a Nurgle Great Unclean One in an alternate colour scheme with this cold blue grey toned version.

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

The idea of this piece is all about him representing greed and gluttony. With all his gold detailing and bleeding gold from his wounds and spewing gold from his mouth. This was a really awesome spec and we loved the idea of representing something different than just pestilence or plague on this miniature which is more typical.

🤢 What would you love to see represented on nurgle miniatures thats different to the normal?

10 space marine combat patrol boxes...

[sage flower]

Yep

And many of them are so ass

[uneven owl]

its funny cuz when i was first looking into getting the hobby and looking at dark angels the best place to start was blood angels

but then they changed the combat patrol to be blood angels specific and everyone hates it

is the greyknight dreadnaught not as good as i thought it was?

[sage flower]

Venerable Dreadnoughts are fine, they're a decent form of anti-big thing which Grey Knights really need but are generally outclassed by Dreadknight variants

But they're also much cheaper, so they're easy to fit in a list

[uneven owl]

is that why you run a lancer cuz it seems pretty anti big

[sage flower]

I run it 'cause it's cool, and I own one, and I want to get use out of it

[uneven owl]

that was my second guess

[sage flower]

Also it's really hard to pull off a point, so it makes Hallowed Ground easier to establish

[uneven owl]

my fingers are crossed that GW lets genestealers infect knights

[sage flower]

Also, it's the tankiest Knight

[uneven owl]

so i can have a rule of cool model

[sage flower]

Don't you have Tyranids?

[uneven owl]

like to own or a detachment to play?

i dont own any nids but i could run them. problem is you cant run the monsters

its just these

[sage flower]

Just as a thing you can use

[uneven owl]

oh i lied

its those and these

[sage flower]

Damn, that's sick

[uneven owl]

if i could run the monsters of nids id be more excited

[sage flower]

Trygons are sick

[uneven owl]

its funny cuz one of the selling points of gsc for me was the fact they can ally themselves to other armies so i thought id collect 2 armies at once and get major benefits

yeah no shot im doing 2 horde armies

lol

[sage flower]

Lmao

[uneven owl]

out of these models i like the leapers and deathleaper

i wanted to be a guard player so bad

[sage flower]

Decided to get Imotekh the Stormlord, think I'll use him to practice my dry brushing

[uneven owl]

just counted all my characters. i have 9 and not even 2k points

[uneven owl]

i cant believe i missed out on buying the old combat patrol by a few hours

but also i dont think ill ever need 25 "terminators"

the boarding patrol is also good value but also comes with 5 abs

[uneven owl]

ahh i gotta pass up on this, we gotta buy silksong

[uneven owl]

i also didnt think id ever see the old combat patrol out in the wild either

crazy night

One of our favourite alternate scheme versions of Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle and lord of the Death Guard.

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

This project was a brilliant opportunity to paint Mortarion in a striking black scheme, contrasted with bold contrast and transitions from deep blue to sickly turquoise. We were absolutely thrilled with the client’s choice to build their Death Guard force in this unique palette.

The warm toned base really ties everything together and gives a warm temperature contrast enhancing the miniature’s menacing presence and making this version of the Death Lord look even more corrupted and malevolent.

Once a bitter and brooding son of the Emperor, Mortarion was ultimately seduced by the Plague God, trading his humanity for eternal decay. Now, as a Daemon Primarch, he spreads pestilence across the galaxy in Nurgle’s name, wielding Barbaran scythe and sorcery with equal ruinous grace.

Where is purple

[sage flower]

Don't own any purple paints

Why is that surprising Gastrit

I should've set a shorter timer on the poll

[uneven owl]

did you get your necron in or you waiting for it

[sage flower]

Still waiting for it

But I have ideas on what I want to do, and thus, the poll

I have an idea for each scheme selected, though I would have to make some purchases for green

[uneven owl]

I bought a small selection of really nice greens back when I thought I was going to go dark angels. Ya they have been used to paint grenades and wires.. so like half a square inch of surface area if that

[sage flower]

Lmao

[uneven owl]

That's what I should paint for my 1 year, the lion

[sage flower]

True

[sage flower]

Am I tweaking or does this look like gold?

Why does it look like that in the picture

[uneven owl]

looked like it was primed on sprew and hit with a splash of gold

[sage flower]

That is because I prime everything on the sprue

[uneven owl]

the new prices were leaked for GW product and those guys are evil. the email said on avg 4% increase. they increased all the expensive stuff by over 5% but to keep the avg as low as possible they increased the price by the cheap stuff by just 50 cents

so less than 3%

combat patrol prob going up 10 cdn

making the combat patrol even shittier year after year

I did, and I actually found a pretty large selection of models that seemed cool

i think their cav are sick as fuck

but theres so much detail

like so so so much

[sage flower]

Bit of cavalry, good chunk of infantry, a couple big deamons

[uneven owl]

ordered a ridgerunner, really wanna experiment with dirt and rust

Can't wait to see how it turns out

You also have a bunch of pieces left over, so I give it an 70% chance it wasn't

[sage flower]

I think I'm gonna make this guy my Voldus Proxy, slap that Saturnine hammer in his hand and ball out

[uneven owl]

yo someone did my idea so now i dont have to waste money to see how it would look

[sage flower]

Looks cool

[uneven owl]

looks fragile

[sage flower]

How so?

[uneven owl]

oof the new dark eldar combat patrol is a massive downgrade in points

[pliant comet]

by the emperor it's over.

[uneven owl]

so i think im going to do a cheat for my horde army now and going to test it on this unit of neophytes

i primed everything then built it so i could paint everything and it does look pretty good. but im thinking ill prime black but have the assembled so people cant see where i didnt paintr

cuz the first way is so time consuming for a unit that dies when they get looked at

[pliant comet]

"When you realize C'tan kills only 30 guardsmen per turn"

[sage flower]

@uneven owl I been looking at movement rules and I think I figured it out

So, if you Advance you can't shoot or charge afterwards without abilities that allow you to

But if you do a regular move, you can shoot and charge afterwards

Holy scammington

[uneven owl]

so many rules man

[somber pivot]

this is true, dont forget disembark for 3 in is a move unless you have assault ramp, i still cant tell if you can charge (i think you can)

[uneven owl]

i remmeber reading this cuz of one of my abilities. if the transport moved you dont get a charge or move if you disembark but you can shoot. if you disembark and the transpart skipped its movement you get your units full actions

[sage flower]

Also apparantley Super Heavy Walkers can just walk out of melee combat whenever they want in whatever direction they please as long as their opponent isn't titanic

[uneven owl]

was that all your tau?

[uneven owl]

For my neophytes they gave me 2 32mm and 11 25mm bases

looked up the rules of crusade and im even more confused

[uneven owl]

biophagus vs my biophagus

huh im only missing 4 things from collecting my entire army and its all characters

[uneven owl]

ok looking into crusade its kinda cool. cool story telling anyway. the sisters of battle youre whole idea i guess is to go through saintly trials or die as a martyr. genestealers start pretty weak but their idea is they are trying to overtake the planet so you pick what type of planet it is and you gain bonuses from it. like military aid and what have you

[sage flower]

Dope

[uneven owl]

my boys got nerfed

only changed to your GK

[sage flower]

Wow

Nothing changed

You love to see it

[uneven owl]

6 changes to points for my units

3 detachment strats changes, and 1 leader ability change

oh and a resurgence point change

[sage flower]

Damn, that's a lot of changes, would you say they're for the better or worse?

Or just, different

[uneven owl]

the changes to Host of ascension seems pretty gutting but i dont play it cuz its a horse shooting detachment

the leader change is a big nerf but that leader also got a point reduction for it

the HoA stratagem was after a unit got shot at you could spend a CP and put that unit into reserves. was good cuz people would shoot and charge onto a point and this cucks that

now its 2cp, only after a unit has dont fighting, and any unit on the board

done*

ridgerrunners costing 10 more kinda sucks cuz you normally run 2 or 3, but the point change is only for single units

purestrains cost less in units of 10

[sage flower]

What did you typically run them as? I thought it was a group of 10

[uneven owl]

they are normally run in 5s so they can die faster and be brought back with resurgence points

i run in 10 cuz i like damage

[sage flower]

I see

[uneven owl]

10 purestrains with patriach can kill a tank in one turn

in my detachment at least

i dont think they are run much in other detachments

the pointless stratagem in all detachments were changed

the old one is moving your ambush marker 6 inches away if an enemy comes within 9 inches of it

now its move it anywhere on the board

[sage flower]

Cool

[uneven owl]

i have 40 points to play around with

[sage flower]

Enhancements time

[uneven owl]

bricky thinks HoS is going to suffer and the new way to play GSC is prob going to be my detachment and spam aberrants lol

ill prob take out one of my leaders and put in someone else more expensive

[uneven owl]

yeah i could take out the primus and put in jackals lol. they dont get any bonus for my detachment but they are annoying to deal with

[uneven owl]

its funny how the stars align. my biophagus kitbash i thought would be on a 32 mm base cuz character. turns out its a 25 mm. guess who just got neophytes which are on 25mm but also the box came with 4 extra bases

[sage flower]

What a nice twist of fate

[uneven owl]

lol i dont think it was that bad

bricky was saying with hosts he got a combo and killed a mort in one turn. which is insane

A stoic and defiant Captain General Constantin Valdor which we have just completed to add to our clients collection!

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

Valdor is such a mega character in the lore and his model is ace, covered in custodian regalia and details for his rank. Having his own display base is a great addition and being able to be removed for gaming is always a great choice!

The golden tones of his Corinthine warplate and the rich red cloak contrast looks great while having the turquoise blade on his Apollonian Spear to finish off this stunning primary colour triadic scheme.

We have loved working on this piece for our client. Which character from 30k / The Horus Heresy is your favourite?

Fought some Guardsmen today, ended up winning by a single point off a charge into a Leman in the center of the board

[uneven owl]

that was brave of you

[sage flower]

Why would it be, it's a 5 man Paladin squad so a total of 20 attacks hitting on 2s rerolling fails, wounding on 5s with rerolls thanks to a strategem, at AP 2, 3 damage against a Leman Russ on 5 wounds

Not including the Grandmaster

Emperor grant me a two handed sword to Space marines 2

[sage flower]

There's few cool ones I can think of too

Alright I put together my truck. What a fun kit. Took just under 2 hours. Would be another hour to magnetize it but that's for another day

oh so its super chill?

[sage flower]

[uneven owl]

the rules prob have changed but i recall it being weird in AoS first edition

you break the board into 6 squares then roll a die in each square. winner gets to place something in that square, or not

[sage flower]

Wow, that sounds wack as fuck

[uneven owl]

yeah, but this was back when there was like only 6 armies and most of them were super melee heavy

then they released tzeench and they could just cast magic for 30 minutes

[sage flower]

Lovely

[uneven owl]

i wish there was something i loved in 40k like how paul loves centurions

[sage flower]

I have Terminators

You'll probably find something cool eventually

There's a lot of Xenos out there

[sage flower]

I'm surprised you don't like Tyranids more, Compound

[uneven owl]

outside of monsters i dont like them much

generic units dont look fun to paint and since its a hive mind with no proper lore you dont build that connection with the army

[sage flower]

That's fair, I suppose

Still, I feel like there's a cool enough range to really sink your teeth in

[uneven owl]

there was also no good jumping off point to get into nids outside of the old leviathan box

[uneven owl]

space marines got a model refresh for a model released in 2018

[sage flower]

Which one?

[uneven owl]

they can still field them in the grotmas detachment

with the new dataslate we should be seeing some new detachments

pray its for our armies

[uneven owl]

yea but they said every quarter they were going to release i think 3 or 4 detachments

[sage flower]

patriarch isnt as interesting as i thought it was going to be to paint

it is what it is. another reason im not big on nids. its like 3 paint elements. the shell, the skin, bones or claws

[uneven owl]

after i finish my warlord do i paint another character, another character B, small detail unit A, small detail but bigger models B, car 1, car 2, truck 1 or truck B

[sage flower]

Car 1

[uneven owl]

good idea cuz truck 1 and truck b im at a loss as how to paint, i refuse to use GW idea of caution strips

[uneven owl]

Alright chat be honest with me. Does this have the effect I'm looking for before I fully commit. It's my own recipe and random apply technique so be brutally honest

[sage flower]

What's the effect you're looking for?

[uneven owl]

Verdigris

[sage flower]

The color is good, but I think it'd look better if you targeted the recesses next to the protrusions instead of lathering it over the majority of the metal

[uneven owl]

What it looks like more thinner

[sage flower]

That's very good, actually

[uneven owl]

pauls wrong on this one

[sage flower]

Indeed

[uneven owl]

studies show people prefer playing against badly painted armies than no paint

[sage flower]

The people at my LGS would agree though

[uneven owl]

i remember going in to get some new paints when a big get together for 40k was just starting

guy came in with a cardboard box of deathguard, all unpainted "ya im going to try the new codex out, no idea what it does yet"

and im looking at the box and poor morty was just sitting there all greyed out

[sage flower]

I don't get how people can do that

Not even just for their opponents, but for their models, and themselves too

[uneven owl]

"i didnt pay 200 dollars to paint this model"

ok hes just under 200 usd

205 cad

[sage flower]

I didn't pay 200 dollars to not enjoy the process

[uneven owl]

i saw the stupidest youtube short

lets see if i can find it

ah i cant find it

but it was a guy who hated painting models so he put a wash into a squirt gun

[sage flower]

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

I don't get how people get into the hobby and be like that

How are you just gonna deprive yourself of the myriad of experiences that are inherent to model painting?

[uneven owl]

i sorta get it

but if i was that guy id just play tts warhammer

[pliant comet]

Smth smth why would people pay for lvl boosters in a battle pass

[sage flower]

Yeah, like

[uneven owl]

cuz im running an "elite" version of my army

let me count how many models i have to paint

76 models total

or 71

counting is hard

[sage flower]

It's okay

My army was technically done 20 models ago

[uneven owl]

nope counted right the first time

I need it

[uneven owl]

speaking of i need to see when my other GW store birthday is

oct 19th

[sage flower]

Cool

[uneven owl]

You going to pick up that model btw

[sage flower]

Probably, it comes out in October

I'd love to paint it, I can already think of some cool things to do

[sage flower]

Strike Squad progress is slow, but progress is progress

[uneven owl]

cant remember if i said but i do like the colour you picked for the glowy eyes

[sage flower]

I don't think you did prior to this

But yeah, the blue lenses with the silver armor is great

[uneven owl]

Here's my progress for the day

[sage flower]

Damn, that's sick

[pliant comet]

Emperor's light shine's everywhere

[uneven owl]

EC play style sounds so fun

fall back, move and charge a different unit

[uneven owl]

Some bases aren't done and some small detail work left but there's the family photo of the first 1000 points painted up

[uneven owl]

the guy who i bought the patriarch from assembled it and i didnt think it was a problem. except it one of its hands hes holding a space marine helm with its spine ripped out and its so akwardly placed i cant paint it. so im just going to say its a grey knight

[sage flower]

Lmao

I know it'd make practically no sense, but I wish I could get my hands on some Leviathan Terminator Axes

[chilly summit]

I-

I think I saw it too

[uneven owl]

i just spent so long putting together rubric marines

you can tell what factions are gw golden childs are cuz the amount of customization is kinda cracked

[uneven owl]

i wanna paint graffiti on the side of my vehicles but then i see this and think nah

[uneven owl]

finished 16 more bases which means everything painted except patriarch is fully based

[sage flower]

Very nice

[uneven owl]

lol reading the dataslate developer commentary

Grey Knights are under observation for the most part, with a view to changes perhaps in the next dataslate. Land Raiders have come down in points.

We were aware of certain Genestealer Cults stratagems which needed some tune-up as a result of the Cult Ambush changes last year, and we’ve now beefed them up. The Host of Ascension can sometimes be punishing to interact with, so we’ve reduced its power and looked at the points of the Abominant, Hybrid Metamorphs and Purestrain Genestealers to help some of the other builds

they didnt reduce its power, they made it unplayable

[uneven owl]

I was finishing up this base and I'm like why is it so glossy and why isn't the dry brush taking to it. I totally forgot to add texture paste

[sage flower]

That's what I figured

[uneven owl]

looking to buy some boxes for travel cases. wtf is this inflation. these old videos have these boxes at like 10 dollars each. looking online its over 100 dollars for 4

[uneven owl]

I found out one of my greys is actually a nice white

[sage flower]

I've been thinking about scraping the current white paint off my Lancer and making it closer to a Deathwing style cream color

[uneven owl]

next 13 models is primed and ready

[uneven owl]

Chat is this too many bird skulls for an exhaulted sorc

[uneven owl]

yo speedfreeks are a massive rip off. each vehicle is only worth like 70 points

[pliant comet]

Nah it's just about right, any more and it would be an offend to form, any less and it would be a mockery of change

[sage flower]

Double or nothing fr fr

[uneven owl]

holy shit 2 new combat patrols

the quins arent dead

i will not be tempted fiend

thats just over 500 points for the quins

[uneven owl]

wtf is this weapon

also no new detachments they said, so prob nothing till christmas

[sage flower]

@atomic mulch

[uneven owl]

Lol I'm listening to a book that has skaven and instead of a farseer the skaven call them farsqueekers

I lied, the farsqueeker is a telephone

[somber pivot]

I was going to saw aren't they called greyseers

[uneven owl]

Ya they are

But I didn't think geeyseers and farseer were the same

I know skaven do have prophets but I don't think the avg greyseer can do that

[late shore]

YAY GROTMISS i cant wait to have 1 new detachment for the rest of the year because i dont play SM

[uneven owl]

its funny cuz i was trying to find the sub chapters name and what they do in dark angels so i looked at their detachments and they had 8...but couldnt find it still

ya those are generic space marines i had to scroll down to find dark angel detachments

13...if i played DA i could pick from 13 detachments

[sage flower]

Yeah

[uneven owl]

just sitting here waiting for my wash to dry to finish this car

looking at quins

[sage flower]

I was gonna try and scape the paint off my Lancer to give it a new color

I gotta find a better way to do this

[uneven owl]

i have a video saved in my playlist if you wanted to check it out

[sage flower]

Sure

[uneven owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhFCynUmT9Q&t

also what does assbeard play or interested in that you pinged them

[sage flower]

He plays Black Templars, and Tyrranids, apparently

[sage flower]

Couple issues with this,

1. I can't have alcohol on campus.
2. I'm only trying to get rid of paint on specific parts of the miniature

[uneven owl]

ohh

dont suppose theres like a nurses office or something you can ask for some eh? plead your case

[uneven owl]

I have these little cups that I think are meant for cleaning eyes.. or contact lenses. Put some alcohol in that and use a tooth brush. But depends if you can actually get a small amount from the campus

[sage flower]

I won't

[uneven owl]

Dang

[sage flower]

I more likely to get expelled

[uneven owl]

That seems harsh

[sage flower]

Well, I'm technically being paid to be here

[uneven owl]

Ah

Guess rules are rules. How are you stripping them then

Water and a brush ?

[sage flower]

Been trying that, it makes scraping it off easier, but aside from that I think I just gotta find a proper implement to remove the paint

might just sand it down

since my main issue was the lumpiness

[uneven owl]

dont suppose you are allowed simple green or bio strip?

[sage flower]

Dunno actually

[uneven owl]

those were the 2 recommendations when i asked another hobby server

[sage flower]

Sanding is working well, actually

[uneven owl]

Not the worse weathering I've seen

[sage flower]

Very nice

I got the paint smoothed out enough to paint over it

[uneven owl]

nice

[uneven owl]

alright another model done. im still going to build the guy that goes on the back and paint that up but thats way in the future

tomorrow is another character then ill tackle a unit of 10 models

[sage flower]

I'm somewhat conflicted

I got a Captain in Terminator armor

and I can't decide between making it a Grandmaster

Or using it as a test for Deathwing

Both seem fun

[uneven owl]

gotta go where the heart is

[sage flower]

Think it's gotta be the Deathwing

[uneven owl]

i cant get over how elite clowns are

are their boxes are reasonable cheap

[sage flower]

Probably'd be nice to be a Harlequin player if it wasn't attached to the resin McOldModel the faction

[uneven owl]

im not sure if they are resin

i think they are plastic

[sage flower]

They belong to Drukhari though, which had a shit ton of resin prior to GW smiting it

[uneven owl]

oh thats what you mean

you run them as aeldari i found out

[sage flower]

I see

[uneven owl]

they have the aeldari keyword so they can be put into any detachment and not be limited like they are in drukhari

[sage flower]

That's pretty cool ngl

[uneven owl]

wow watching a video reviewing the new combat patrols

the new krieg one is like 24 models or something

265 points

[sage flower]

Holy shit

[uneven owl]

25 models

[sage flower]

Wow

Such a massive improvement

[uneven owl]

i was looking at a quin battle report from his GT run and his clowns was like 50-56 models total with 19 units i think it was

comparison my point expensive 2k army is 76 models

[sage flower]

They seem Semi-Elite to an extent

[uneven owl]

the problem if i start quins that would be 3 armies i have which are rated difficult to play lol

(one army i didnt buy myself)

[sage flower]

I keep forgetting you have TSons somehow

[uneven owl]

quins box is 575 or 620 depending on how you build it

[sage flower]

Yeah, I remember hearing about that

Pretty nutty box, all things considered

[uneven owl]

only bad thing about it is it has solitaire in it which you can only field one. but you prob could convert it to a troupe master

if you were to buy 2 boxes

also quins are so cheap that box savings is only 25%

[sage flower]

Seems like a nice army to get into

[uneven owl]

we'll see its not a limited box. so if i slay the grey on my GSC might pick up a box

have you seen some of their data sheets?

[sage flower]

Nope

[uneven owl]

that blitz ability with that weapon profile sounds the the scariest thing ever

[sage flower]

Not to mention you can charge afterwards

[uneven owl]

yea lol

i think it also means you can advance too with blitz

or maybe cuz of the wording its only a normal move

i unno the order of operations when it comes to keywords like that

[sage flower]

Pretty sure blitz would supplant an advance

[uneven owl]

yea would make sense, instead of rolling one die you get 2

i thought maybe it would also get advance cuz blitz its only once per battle

[sage flower]

I mean yeah, getting potentially 12" extra movement is insane

[uneven owl]

but if you had 3 die for extra movement, plus a charge, with 12 inches of base movement you could prob run from edge to edge lol

[sage flower]

I think it'd depend on the edges

[uneven owl]

also they ignore buildings for movement too

i also just remembered, instead of having all the passangers on the quins vehicles you could just run them as troupes

theres at least 6 which is an extra 100 points

[uneven owl]

is OC counted per unit or per model
