ijyt posted:That is a super cool camo pattern - is it based on a real life one? Which legion is it going to be for? As for legion, I'm leaning Imperial Fists, substituting the yellow for this tan color. Fluffwise, they're one of my favorite legions, but christ do I hate yellow. The other one I've been considering in Dark Angels Ironwing, which looks interesting as gently caress to play. I suppose I could build both at once if I keep the legion-specific markings to a minimum. I'm finding choosing a legion difficult just because a lot of them have something I find really cool.

Just pull a reverse BULBASAUR and play imperial fists and then use DA rules to make them worse.

Aesaar posted:The biggest inspiration is modern Russian Army steppe camouflage, just with more tan and a browner khaki so it doesn't look too close to Cadian 8th camouflage. There's precedent in the Fists for companies having wildly different heraldry from the base yellow (the Black Templars got their color scheme from Sigismund's company/chapter). You could just say this chapter/company of the Fists uses different colors in its heraldry from the bulk of the Fists.

Textured plasticard is a godsend for cheap bases - get yourself one of those compass-style circle cutters and you're away. Cutting a single circle in half nice and jagged with some intact and some broken tiles and then filling the rest with sand and rubble looks good, too.

I start with grey, drybrush it with a stone color, and tint it with a green wash. I then paint most of the lines, glaze it green, and paint a few more lines. I use maybe three different colors for said lines, but most of them get tinted by the glaze so they're a bit more varied than that would suggest. Marble's not so bad.

Friends are overrated. Where I come from, it's all about making it look as terrible as possible, and deflecting the real issue of broken units onto salamander praetors with EW. Atleast when you are playing EC and have access to bullshit stuff like sonic shriekers, kakophoni and those spears.

Ok, so after getting a better look at the rules for 30k I have some questions for "my first World Eaters army". What rite of war do I pick? We are thinking 1500 points to start and I have 40 marines + 5 termines + those 2 HQ models and them some stuff like like a landriader, a Predator and some rhinos from my 40k collection I have not used yet. I intend to play it very basic, I enjoy CC and I run my mans at the enemy to do max damage. I liked Orks and CC-demons and the new Khornate Demonkin books from 40k so I knew this was the army for me (plus the paint scheme is great). I was thinking maybe use the Berzerker one since pinning checks suck and who does not like hated in CC? The problem is the 3rd compulsory troop choice. I suppose I could pick the one from the main book, the one that gives FNP but I see myself losing the 'attrition' a lot and giving a VP for that seems really bad. I could go with the basic one that lets Vet Squads be troops but it just feels wrong. Speaking of troops, I am got 20 MK4 and now 20 MK3 dudes to build. I was thinking of doing 2x10 tacs in rhinos and 1x20 tacs on foot. That way I cover all 3 troop slots. Probably all BP/ChainAxe. But after looking at 4chan thing you guys directed me to they say it's all about assault squads. it averages about 4ppm more to get them all jump packs but that's still cheaper per model than 10-dudes in a rhino. I like fast blobs and it seems much easier to play then positioning vehicles and dealing with no assault ramps. The hard part would be getting 40 jumppacks but I guess I could spend like $60 and get them from the slow boat from europe. Would spending 610points+ on jump troops be a dumb idea? For the cataphractii terminators I was thinking going with the red butchers because why not. But, shall I go with the free 2x axes? If so how the hell do I get them? The set only comes with one sword arm and the rest are big fists. Is it a good/not-awful idea to go with 2x claws or 2x fists instead? I was thinking maybe 4 guys with 2xclaws and the leader has fist/thunderhammer (I have a hand+hammer I can use in the gun arm). So like 560 points right there if I put them in a shielded landriader. So if I do that I am left with only about 330sh points for HQ or any HS for the list. I suddenly feel the need for some anti tank after buying all these toys and I just don't see the room. I was thinking of taking an apothecary or two, I have not really looked at the HQs to be honest. I figured I would ask here before I got too attached. Maybe I do need to take the basic Rite of War and get some Vet Squads with meltas or something.

1500 points is really not a lot in 30k land. Instead of thinking in 1500/1850/2000 points it's more like 2000/2500/3000.

Gotta start somewhere! If you're looking at starting small a very nice way to do it with models from the calth/prospero boxes for any legion is to run a delegatus with pride of the legion as your rite of war, then take some vets as your troop choices. This is also cool because vets are extremely good and cheap in the latest edition of the red book. For world eaters particularly, you'll want to look at ways of delivering troops efficiently into your enemies face. Drop pods, a spartan, a caestus or a storm eagle could be very good as you scale up. Those 2 wound terminators are also a pretty solid choice.

Re: Marble Chat I work in a library that houses samples of architectural materials. I have not yet tried this, but I really want to try to make laminate work for terrain/bases. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Wilsonar...cB&gclsrc=aw.ds I may grab a sample tab off our wall at work today and see what I can do to a test base. Biggest issue is probably cutting it neatly and if the pattern scales well to that small.

Felime posted:Re: Marble Chat I have a sheet of that exact same laminate that I bought for that purpose when trying it. There are 3 problems: - The scale of the marble is too large for bases - The laminate is thick, about 30% of a base height. - The texture is made to grip some, so it's matte and rough like typical laminate. I spent a lot of time at Home Depot looking at the little cards they have as samples, and some would work (if I could acquire about 100) although I haven't found a really good classic marble sample. e: I'm also looking into dollhouse floor types.

OhDearGodNo posted:I have a sheet of that exact same laminate that I bought for that purpose when trying it. Snagged a chip of these, I believe (I quite stupidly chopped it up and glued it down before thinking to check which one.) Smaller scale pattern and looks pretty good, though a lot of the chips had pretty much entirely white portions. http://www.wilsonart.com/white-carrara-4924 Smaller Scale, About 1mm thick Satin texture And those chips at home depot are samples for you to use in picking out something to do your countertops with or whatever. It probably won't be free like architects and designers can get (a couple bucks starts looking really insignificant when the sample is for a several thousand dollar job), but I'd bet you can get small sheet sized samples of whatever laminate you like there. Just tell the home depot people you want to see what a larger area looks like on your countertop and see what options they can get you for a couple larger samples. The advice on what to say to avoid having to tell the home depot associate it's for tiny plastic mans is probably the most valuable part of this post. Edited: for a picture with the most handy nearby Hams for scale/reference. http://imgur.com/a/fTRfs Edit2: Actually, I think it's still the Calcutta Pattern, just Satin Finish Felime fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Nov 19, 2016 |

That scales better than I imagined, although as you say probably would need to select specific areas. I'm looking into one of those circle cutter things (like a compass). I ordered one of these on eBay yesterday- it's a sheet of 1" black marble squares, cost about $10 with shipping.

Marble base update: I ordered the Handley marble base flooring, ran about $10 when you count in shipping.  I'm ok the fence. In some ways it looks more like granite, and if you look very, very closely you can see the color dots showing it's essentially just a print. The lines defining the tiles are sunk in. I may experiment and try to wash it down. I could just go with a white marble base (it's easier) however I feel white bases are a bit off compared to the usually darker tones of most boards.

OhDearGodNo posted:Marble base update: I ordered the Handley marble base flooring, ran about $10 when you count in shipping. Posted about this is morning, but apparently I didn't hit send or something. I've taken a couple pictures of the nicer marble samples at work, and using those and the internet, I'll see what I can do about replicating the black marble pattern at scale. From what I've been able to gather, black marble is a bit of a combination of very subtle grey marbling with some very stark white crackling. Here's a picture of a nice slab of honed black marble off the internet (a lot of the 'black marble' isn't actually marble, though it can look similar.) In polished samples, the entire black/grey area becomes a little less sharply differentiated. http://www.egmcorp.com/marble/black-st-laurent Do you have any pictures of what you've been trying to emulate, or any failed attempts(and what you didn't like about them)?

I do! Have had this saved for a while.  Pretty much black marble with jade veins. Some of them would highlight with white, but the green is just subtle enough to keep them being Christmas sorcerers.
