You can shave them off easily, though. Alternatively, hotglue colored pencils to the front of your $40 tank.

The tank shouldn't be loving $40 anyway. I'm at the stage that if someone wanted to use a coloured pencil to represent an entire tank I'd let him.

oh boy, price chat. now someone say you can easily make a 40k army using mantic miniatures which are better quality for cheaper, and then someone make a vague allegory to how if you pay msrp you're a literal subhuman. i can't wait to see if something different happens in this, edge of tomorrow 2: the wh40k thread never changes.

This criticism might be more well received from someone not insane enough to spend $1000 in a month on warhams. I mean, I assume you've got enough disposable income it's not an issue for you (I hope :ohdear: ), but that's still a fuckload of 'hams in 30 days.

It was a cutting board I was trying to use to mark something before I cut it but apparently I didn't see the knife sitting on top of it when I grabbed it and the next thing I know I'm bleeding everywhere. Must've hit a blood vessel or something because the cut is only like a millimeter long.

Question to anyone who's made Nobz:

Let's say I wanted to make a Nob with a Kombi-Weapon and a Big Choppa. I'm not severly disadvantaging myself in terms of CCW (not including Power Klaws being better (I'm trying to save on points)). Like, you don't get a bonus attack since the Power Klaw is unwieldy anyway, and you still get four attacks on the charge if you have a two-handed Shoota and a two-handed Big Choppa?

Furthermore, if I did do this, can you guys think of any models that only have one hand on a combi-Shoota? All of the combi-weapons in the Nobz kit have the hand on the underside of the barrel. I tried looking at some Kromlech stuff, but I didn't see anything there either. I guess I could just file the hand on the barrel down, but I wanted to see if anyone had any other options.

I don't have the book on me, but I'm pretty sure Unwieldy makes you attack at I1 in 7th; you still get the bonus attack from charging.

Right but you get that anyway, so I'm pretty sure if I'm putting a Power Klaw on someone I can just go ahead and put a Kombi-weapon on them for five more points.

Oh and I painted my morkanaut


I feel like there could be more to it. The paintjob itself is lovely, everything looks good for the most part, but it's a bit too...clean. Perhaps some black and metallic sponged along the bottom edges to liven it up, a bit of rust along the joints, little things to make it seem like it's not just straight out of da forge and on its maiden walk.

Painting those light fixtures on the hips could help too. And drilling the barrels of the big shootas :v:

He spent a grand in a month on forgeworld alone. If you look at Super Neat Toy's post history in this and the previous thread you can try to guess exactly how much money he has spent on this hobby in the past couple of months.

It wasn't really price chat until you said it was pricechat. It was conversions using actual garbage chat.

Scratchbuilds and conversions are the heart of an Ork army. I really should convert my Battlewagons instead of buying them. Would've converted my buggies, but the Mantic Raptor was PERFECT for them.

On that note, what're the rough dimensions of a Battlewgon? Need to know how big I'm looking for when I get ready to build some!

Yeah, you're right, I'll weather it a bit next week. I've just been under the pump to get the army table top ready by Saturday and figured I could skip it for now.

I'm purposefully painting with a small pallet of colours and the vehicles are tending to look a bit flat because they don't have the green on them.

I'll probably just do paint chipping. I want to avoid rust because I've painted so much rust for my death guard. And yeah, I totally didn't see those headlights.
