My prospero set arrived on Monday, and my 30k haul now consists of: the prospero set (to be upgraded with an assortment of FW shoulder pads and heads) 3x quad launcher look-a-likes from mantic 1x sicaran 1x deredeo 1x contemptor 5x FW MK 5 marines 5x FW MK 2 marines 5x FW MK 3 marines 1x Decimator an assortment of 1k sons upgrade parts made by various 3rd parties (mostly the Egyptian stuff from Wargamer Exclusive) 2x rhinos I dunno what I'm gonna field, but I'm probably going to trade away the Custodes for another 5x tartaros terminators. Book 7 needs to hurry up and release >.< Gato The Elder fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Nov 23, 2016 |

I don't really like the candy red style so I just followed Lord Duncan's recipe. Happy with the result, particularly the back side. Seems within my skill set to get table quality with plenty of things to improve on. Dotting the rivets well is hard. Anyone know a trick for that? I might paint a few more. I've been frustrated with painting white World Eaters.

I use a wash to darken around the rivet, then just tap a highlight on with a very fine brush after it's dry.

Touch the end of a cocktail stick to paint, then to the rivet. After a while you'll have a build ot of dried paint on the cocktail stick that makes it less precise though.

If you folks haven't been paying attention to the 40k thread, the Age of Sigmar formula is in full effect. Big model releases, support for long forgotten armies, and an upswing of community activity. We know Age of Emperor 8e is coming down the road and it's a question of 'when' rather than 'if'. Nobody knows the changes, but we can expect a streamline of the core game and some shakeup to the fluff. Pucker your buttes all ye who enter here. On paper these are not bad things, but I wager most of us here have very low confidence GW is capable of executing this well. I'm worried. The main issue is that our core rules are tied to 40k. 30k is largely an afterthought when it comes to rules support, you don't need to look past the FAQs which go directly against the design intent of our system. When 8e comes around the corner it's just going to be compounded. The bigger the changes, the bigger the clusterfuck. I'd like to think they'll branch the two systems, but I doubt this will happen. So where does that leave us? I imagine we'll see what we get before making any decisions, but if the rules are hard to salvage we'll have to use the 7th edition rules which is going to fragment our small community.

I would hope that in the event of Age of the Emperor FW just re-releases the 7E rulebook with a red cover and pictures of Heresy era marines at a 33% markup.

Yeah, I fully expect that Horus Heresy will be a third game system, with a further modified version of 7th ed. They wouldn't spend so much time getting the Thousand Sons just right to throw it away in 4 months.

Officially splitting off from the 40k BRB would be the best thing ever for HH. Can you imagine? All of FW's editing nonsense, magnified many times over... so many arguments  But seriously that would be so good.

They wouldn't spend so much time getting the Thousand Sons just right to throw it away in 4 months. This is my desire, I don't know if it counts as a prediction, with AoS < 40k < 30k in terms of depth and complexity. 30k seems like evidence that you don't need to wildly change the base 40k game to get something good, but instead of adjusting 40k to bring it in line they will probably nuke substantial parts of it. The FW design team has to have a much greater degree of respect for how complicated the overall game balance is, whereas the 40k design team seems to just use "that feels about fluffy enough" as their decision making heuristic. Mango Polo posted:Officially splitting off from the 40k BRB would be the best thing ever for HH. It would mean no more butt clenching over the FAQ rulings distorting 30k. I guarantee no one writing FAQ answers gave one thought to their effects on 30k. GreenMarine fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Nov 23, 2016 |

So I supposed at some point I'll need to buy some rules for this game if I ever end up modeling/painting enough marines on top of tricking enough of my friends into playing. What's the current situation with rulebooks? From the past I've seen the occasional "everyone is selling their books on eBay you moron" situation that I'd like to be on the right side of.

Snag the enhanced editions on ibooks. They are $50 each, but they get updates and are great for play and study because all of the game rules are hotlinks. If you're playing a legion you'll need the legion astartes book for legion specific rules and the age of darkness campaign book for the main army list. If you're playing mechanicus they have their own rule book and if you're playing cults, solar auxillia, etc, they have their own book. So 4 books in all, with 2 required to pull together a legion.

So the Custodes grav tank is up in Forgeworld now, and am I right in thinking the rules make no sense? It says:quote:
Which sounds like the intent is you take the tank as a HS option for your Legion force org alongside at least one Custodes squad for each, but the Custodes temporary rules say to use them as an allied mini-detachment on their own. Unless the idea is for each squad in the allied detachment you can take one tank in the main force which is screwy even for forgeworld.

I'm only about halfway through Master of Mankind but it's honestly one of the best HH books and I feel comfortable saying that it's probably required reading for anyone into 30k.

I gave up on black marble due to lack of shade options and just went for another go at jade. Used many layers of Kabalite green, coelia greenshade, waystorne green, and waywatcher green with veins in VMA white/ VMA blue grey. Underneath I mixed cadandora yellow with some spiritstone red, then 2 coats of 'ardcoat. I also tried to do what I could to keep it from looking Christmas-y. e: ignore the power sword paint. It's not done.

I think that looks really good. Edit: I do feel like the candy red, slick green jade, and power blue are too close to each other in tone. It's a compositional issue rather than anything to do with the individual colors, and you might be able to resolve it by making the blue significantly lighter and maybe highlighting the gold more starkly. Wait for someone else to weigh in, just in case I'm talking out of my rear end. Sulecrist fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Nov 28, 2016 |
