I had good luck with turquoise and light brown, and then white for metal armour. Really made for a different looking but also very draconic Legion army.

I think hot/cold color schemes look really cool on legion. Like a cool grayish blue for the armor plate and a strong orange for the flesh.

I wonder what they'll be doing thematically for Tristan as he graduates to full Warcaster. Right now he's an incredibly milquetoast Warcaster Man. His backstory is, "This is Warcaster Man. He is very promising and unusually good at Warcastering". That's perfectly fine for a Journeyman, but doesn't really work for a full caster.

He can see everything but really has no means of demonstrating that to anyone, so just, just trust him, ok? Apparently he's going to be a 'jack-caster in a way that the Protectorate doesn't have right now, but that's the only hint they dropped. Has anyone here converted a plastic Lancer to Thorn, and if so, how did it work out?

rantmo posted:Play-wise Cygnar is in an amazing place right now, having benefited greatly from the transition to mk3. Painting-wise they're fun, blue's a pretty forgiving color (though you'll want to change your water and clean your brushes really frequently because blue is unforgiving on bristles and will tint the water so much that it will change every other color you use) and the 'jacks are fun and really satisfying to paint. All the infantry seems either to have a lot of fiddly detail that I hate (gun mages) or lots of mold lines that are a pain in the rear end to clean off (storm knights) but that's scarcely unique to Cygnar. Swans own, play Swans. Don't use a pthalo blue. Ultramarine is a way less strong pigment and will be less strong when tainting other colors. PTHALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

rantmo posted:I have no idea what any of this means. It means if you're trying to mix colors to give a highlight or whatever, pthalo blue is harder to do that with, since it has more of the stuff that gives it color. Ultramarine blue (shockingly a generic color if all you know it from is GW) usually is also pretty deep in color and can be mixed more easily. I'd also suggest going from a more bright blue like Ultramarine, if only because it gives you somewhere to shade down to before bringing the color up.

I'm a sucker for 'sentient' robot factions that aren't terminator-esque. So, basically all bar Necrons. I might pick up a new faction in the interim. Can anyone recommend a Warmahordes that pairs well? A good contrast, if I run pals through a skirmish?

Do you want a Hordes faction so you can screw around with the fury mechanic? I know CoC functions a little differently than the rest of WarMachine factions but they still use focus. Do any of the MKIII starter boxes catch your eye?

I was thinking if I was teaching someone the basics I'd just run the CoC with standard focus rules, regardless. Induction seems needlessly complex for a first time.

I've been talking with one of my friends about the 75 pt size that people are trying out. He feels like it's just a touch too limited for running support in addition to infantry and warstuff. Anyone else think we might see the community moving up a bit, to maybe 85 or so?WAR FOOT posted:Pretty much the only aesthetic I'm not huge on is Trollbloods. I was thinking if I was teaching someone the basics I'd just run the CoC with standard focus rules, regardless. Induction seems needlessly complex for a first time. You ask for a contrast, so I guess I'd ask: how do you play your CoC? Is it a swarm of warjacks with induction waterfalling, or the multiwound troops, or the single-wounder swarms? Or a mix?
