Take a look! I'd jump all over this but shipping is ridiculously expensive to Canada. What gives? Shipping a set of objective markers is more expensive than the object markers themselves...

SRM posted:Zark, I love your army and everything about it. God drat dude. Even the way you write about it evokes the RT era fluff where Marines were just normal dudes in power armor instead of hyper-competent warrior monks. Cheers! Let me know if you're ever in the UK with your dudes and we'll arrange a retro-off or something. Also of interest I finished off my first batch of Diggas and big guy. They count as Chaos Cultists and a Daemon Prince allied to my Orks:  During deployment and post battle army shot (I need to spend some time taking better pics of the Orks):   Sadly they didn't achieve anything in the game besides being dead by turn 2. Partly because I hosed up and didn't realise I could Jink even when gliding with flyboy (first go at 7th), and partly cause my opponent was Guard with a loving Wyvern wiping out a squad a turn. Forging the narrative! --- Loving that scenery Germ, I hope the KS does well (I see you hit target already). Will check with my housemates whether we need any more area terrain, but we already have a bunch of woods. Do the flat inserts work well with the Citadel woods? If so I may see about ordering some of those. Zark the Damned fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jul 18, 2014 |

Liquid gold paints are super shiny. Like, so shiny, that you don't need to do highlights. This causes a problem due to varnish- once you varnish over them, the reflectiveness goes away. Because of this I do my final highlights as my last stage of painting. Here's a side by side comparison of the results: And here's what line highlighting with old gold silver looks like:  Mango Polo posted:You can yeah, but keep in mind it dries insanely fast.

New preorders are up on GW. Liking the new box art on DV. Also the city boards - http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Realm-of-Battle-Sector-Imperialis Was interested until I noticed they give you 3 copies each of 2 designs. gently caress that, if you're charging £200 then put 6 unique designs in!

I think I'm going to get some of my friends together and we'll make a big single pledge together - that way we'll split the difference on the shipping.

I never really looked at all what came with Dark Vengeance before, with a bit of modding, a extra tac and devastator squad and Cypher you'd have a decently rounded Fallen themed CSM army.

While I'm pretty glad to see Dark Vengeance available again since it's such a nice box, I'm a little disappointed they just crammed an aspiring champion in. It's not that it's a bad model, I picked one up a while back and made a raptor lord (that I still need to paint ) out of it with a bunch of converting. I was just hoping for something new like maybe a sorcerer. I guess they must not have been selling well.

Then again you say you bought one just to convert, so uhh  (don't take this personally, we're all embarrassed over how much we've given GW, even if some of us got out earlier than others)

The idea of him leading a visible, established force seems to go against what I know of the character, but it's not a big deal. In the 3rd edition book (the first one, not the much-loved 3.5 one) he could take a squad of "Fallen Angels" which were veteran CSM who had ATSKNF. He ALSO had ATSKNF which was pretty funny, as that made them the one squad in the army you could rely on consistently. He also had Animosity, which meant any squad he joined did diddly squat if they rolled a 1 at the beginning of the turn. But since the Fallen Angel squad didn't suffer from that...well, it was kind of a moot point.

Yeah, the fluff has him calling in favors from the Fallen when the objective is two much for just himself. It also mentions just how time he spends disguised as a regular dude/marine/inquisitor. In game it's represented by a formation of 1-3 units of chosen that lose access to any sort of chaos gift, mutation or artifact but gain infiltrate and 'They Shall Know No Fear'.

Like I said, I used the model for the guy shown below and I was really happy with it. I'm just going to use this conversation as an excuse to post more words than I should about it. It's really detailed though my version has parts from like 6-7 kits. Cutting out the head was a bitch and I had to smooth the collar out while filling in some gaps, you just can't see the greenstuff in the picture. I also had to build a mount for the jump pack since the model had a weird port on the back. The weapons were chosen to emulate my demon prince though I just count the sword as a lightning claw. Said sword was left over from a sorcerer I converted and the powerfist is a hybrid of a warp talon lightning claw and the fingers off of a terminator lord's powerfist. Hell, I even replaced his toes. I had a lot of fun building this guy and the spare parts, like the axe, were used on other character models. I don't really mind the $5 I lost by not buying the original model off of ebay though that's where I get most of my conversion fodder. An old picture, but nothing's changed. I still need to get around to building a light box at some point.

So I just bought Fix's Thousand Sons. The army he sent over was 3rd edition as gently caress, and thus completely awesome. I won't be diving into these guys fully yet, but I wanted to do a test model for the rank-and-file dudes since I haven't done Thousand Sons yet. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out, using a mix of Kantor and Lothern Blue for the body.   I also like how the army insignia came out, but I'm not sure how easy it will be to freehand that on every model. That said, I'll probably get faster as I go. I think eventually I'm gonna do a few with flames like the ones shown in the old Chaos 2nd edition codex. Those look pretty rad.
