BULBASAUR posted:Yup. That's how I plan to run mine. Pod and either a melta lance for murdering armour or the grav bombard for killing infantry and rapiers. You want at least one melee arm. Snippy crab claw if you expect 2+ wound models or the siege claw if you plan to crump armour. Phosphex if you have extra points. I'd probably stick with the heavy flamers as well. 2++ if you are BA and its night.

I've done mine as a paired talon. grav flux, phosphex, AC, and a claw is the poo poo. Even though he's on foot he's (usually) shooting turn 1 or two depending on if I went first or not if my opponent is slightly aggressive. Siegenoughts are loving awesome.

Another color that would work imo would be an olive green with a sepia wash. Stanyer89 posted:maybe some thicker highlights? I'm a bigger fan of zenith style dry brushing myself but that comes at the cost of having less crisp clean looking models... Additionally, any thoughts on stone color for those ruined temple bases I'm planning on using? Maybe I'll just paint up some of the blank, standard bases and see what primary color would work best.

Pretty happy with how these are going, so I'm going to start the "assembly line" process now. Got my Suzerains today, but haven't assembled yet. I'm not sure if I'll play them or Terminators in my 750 ZM game, for which I need everything fully painted. That'll determine what's up next.

Neat, FW seems to be stepping up their QA. Won't do anything for fundamental flaws in the molds and/or casting process, but at least someone is looking for those bubbles and gun barrels doing pirouettes.

Current BA/DA/WS rules are a "beta test" of sorts, I don't think FW would release anything for them until they get their proper army rules, characters, units, etc. I'd expect to see their Contemptors way, waaaaay before any Primarchs.

I just figured since BA got their "beta" rules while 1k sons and space furries have nothing that we'd see something for us first. My mistake in daring to make sense of anything related to Games Workshop...

Stanyer89 posted:pace furries Right on cue!  But yeah, Alpharius and Dorn are still missing in action. And they've spoken about Dorn's model before ("you'll understand why his weapon is unwieldy when you see his model!!1"). I'm hoping that the model is actually done by now and they're just looking for a good time to release it, e.g. at Warhamme Fest in May or whenever that is.

Safety Factor posted:If I knew how to pull off an Enchanted Rock-esque pink granite, I would. I just have no idea how to capture something like this: The pink can probably be pulled off with Light Grey + Flesh about 3:1 with a tiny amount of orange/red to flavour, then lots of light stippling with various greys. If it becomes to grey add some medium to the pink and glaze over it. richyp fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Mar 21, 2016 |

Safety Factor posted:After working with the MkIV Dark Angels shoulder pads, I've noticed that FW has been really inconsistent with the rim thickness on almost every legion so far. It only comes up on the MkIV pads, but it's kind of annoying. These Space Wolf ones actually look right, but I know they're not going to revisit everything else. I realize caring about the exact thickness of shoulder pad rims is Agreed re the rims, it bugs the hell out of me. My pinkish granite is one part VGC magenta ("Warlord Purple, iirc"), four parts white, two parts khaki. I do multiple thin layers over zenithal highlighting and sometimes I swap some white for yellow or pallid flesh on subsequent passes. Then it gets the same brown wash as the rest of my models. If it doesn't have enough texture at that point I sponge or drybrush on a pale flesh tone.

Thoughts on this Zone Mortalis list? Other options I own include a Legion Dreadnought, more Tac Marines (with weapon options), more Cataphractii Terminators. Ultramarines 750pts HQ 60pts Legion Centurion Consul, Artificer Armour Elites 525pts Suzerain Squad 10x Suzerains Cataphractii Terminator Squad 4x Terminators with Powerfists, Sergeant with Powerfist Troops 165pts Tactical Squad 9x Tactical Marines, Sergeant with Melta Bombs and Artificer Armour

That'd break the limit on Elite choices, unfortunately. Leviathan-pattern would be a Heavy choice, but I've just got a 40K Venerable Dreadnaught model which wouldn't fit anything but the Talon or Mortis, I believe.

The naked centurion is a bit of a lame duck in your list. You might as well make him useful with a consul upgrade. Chaplain for fearless or a Delegatus so you can take a ROW like the cool new zone mortalis one.

I can cut a Suzerain (down to 9x) to get the ZM RoW and make him: HQ 85pts Legion Centurion Consul Delegatus, Artificer Armour, Combi-Weapon Edit: And that RoW means my Termies can be troops, and I could cut more to try and fit a Dread in Elites.

Give him a master crafted weapon of some kind and an invuln save (the MC crafting is free btw). Otherwise he's just going to do nothing. Deep striking terminators as toops is sweet. You can drop your tactical squad to grab a dreadnaught and give upgrades to your consul.

I still received two left wings in my lightning order that I was super excited about =/ accidents happen but instead of just finding the wing I need they had to cast it up and send it? So an additional 7 to 10 days on top of USA shipping. Kinda lovely. They did help my friend who flew there for hh weekend and didn't get a red book; he got the red book and like two Knights free
