Awesome, thanks. I'll probably just wait to get the rule book then if they're coming out with a new one later this year.

The mini rulebook can be bought pretty cheap and there hasn't been any official confirmation of a new edition this year, so unless you want to wait until Q3, you may want to consider just eating that cost, or downloading a copy of the rules

If Creed and Alpharius fought, would Creed be able to reveal a titan before Alpharius turned it into a really tall Alpharius? Or would Creed become Alpharius the moment the fight even started?

I have no idea but do you think it is the best idea on this occasion given the uncertainty around the face of 30K in an eighth edition rule set?

I really liked the concept of Omegon when I first heard about him, I was like "gently caress, that's so cool and perfect for the legion!" But then the more I learned about the two of them in the novels, the dumber/less interesting it all sounded, to the point where the Alpha Legion just became an over-the-top joke

Just as planned.

Kind of unfinished? I'd try flipping the colors (white fabric, khaki armor) so you can get some shading on the white.

I like the scheme, but it could do with a bit more contrast/shading around the white to make it pop.

Talking of keikaku plans, re the prospective March hamslam at WHW - which weekend is best for people? Personally 18th or earlier is best for me (I can make later ones though).

Do we want to do a bunch of smaller stuff or one big battle? Maybe some more Killteam?

Also some goons in the specialist games thread expressed an interest in some of the WHW exclusives so I may as well extent that to this thread. I'm not sure if there's a limit on copies per customer or anything so it'll be fcfs in that case. PM me if you're interested and I'll try figure out shipping costs and stuff.

It doesn't tbh, the white looks like bare primer. Even with better shading it pops against the khaki too much, I'd go for very light grey.

Yeah, I like the concept, but your white is too 'pure'

IMO you should look for 'light ghost gray' in acrylic (if it exists, thats the testors enamel name for it), washed with a darker gray (and brightened back up during drybrushing).

A good metallic silver would look great with those khaki colors too; liquitex silver, VMC silver, Tamiya Gunmetal, or Testors Aluminum would work.

I was having somewhat similar thoughts about it as you guys have brought up. I'll fiddle a bit more and see how it looks like in a slightly gray-er white.

Ulthuan Grey is my favourite off-white. Like, just takes the stark, looks-like-primer quality out of pure white.

Janus, the first Grand Master of the Grey Knights.

Not any more. Malcador lies to the White Scars and gets a hold of Revuel Arvida, a loyalist Thousand Son fighting off the Flesh Change. Malcador uses him as bait to try and capture a shard of Magnus that was hanging around Terra, but things gently caress up and Arvida merges with the shard (who is actually his tutelary, because tutelaries being shards of Magnus are a thing now) and becomes a dude with one eye named Ianius.

Use Ulthuan Grey. Go through my posts, I have a Stormtrooper force in a very similar scheme that might help you out.

Seconding this; Ulthuan Grey is the way to go for White armor, highlit with White Scar.
Depending on how you want them to look, a recess shade of Agrax Earthshade (and optional weathering with your choice of brown layer) is a great way to make the armor look dirty and battle-worn; the Tau Vior La sept is a great example of this:


otherwise Nuln Oil, or watered down The Fang, in the recesses will give it a clean look
