I got to the point with this fire prism where I want to put it down and not work on it for a while. I know I need to figure out a better way to do the soul stones. Was hoping soulstone blue technical paint would make it easy... just rolled of the raised areas and pooled around them... making me spend a bunch of time covering up dark blue with yellow  I still think it looks pretty good though.   After I paint my Wave Serpents I will likely put some decals on it and try touching up everything again.

That is hot hot HOT!

That's basically the entirety of what they do in the fluff. Legion of the Damned have a similar schtick but tend to explicitly help defend Imperial forces, where as the Carcharodons are pretty regularly cruising for fights with CSM. *looks up Carcharodons on 40k Wikia, leans back* Yeah, think you got it in one :P . Thank you, these guys are perfect!

Question: I tried to run Macragge Blue through my airbrush, thinned with Tamiya Acrylic Thinner. However, the color seems really light and definitely not close to the color of it being brushed on. This was applied over black primer, same as another mini I brushed on. I applied two or three light coats. Did I overthin the paint? Does it need more coats? Brushed on left (with a poorly applied wash) - Airbrushed on right.  unpurposed fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Jan 17, 2017 |

unpurposed posted:Question: Yeah the right is definitely to light although I don't know if this has anything with the thinness since I don't see any primer(if you used any) showing through. It might also just be the lighting since you used flash. Maybe give it another coat and see how it goes. I don't use airbrush but I spray can a lot with Maccrage Blue and I've had models look like that because I didn't get close enough.

Fair enough, but I've always taken the attitude that I'd rather someone pointed it out to me if I do it. If what I posted came across as mean spirited then I apologise to SRM, as far as I was concerned it was a bit of gentle ribbing because it coincided with a silly derail about pronouncing unit names.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:It is a disturbingly common way of saying and spelling "turret." Hate that. Ran into another, too: Apparently "whinge" isn't just a misspelling of "whine." Found that out with help from some Brits--priorly I had only seen it as a typo on student papers, along with their having confused were/we're/where, and once pronounced while a dude on a podcast was reading out of his own book.

Sheet metal and tin snips seems a bit of a pain in the arse but Im sure I can get it to work. I wouldn't use fridge magnets though bloody hell. I'd probably just use small neodymium stuck to the underside of the bases. Ideally I'd want to be able to turn it on its side (backpack) without sliding or breakage.

Ideally I'd want to be able to turn it on its side (backpack) without sliding or breakage. I use that method for my Orks with neodymium magnets. They'll still slide a little. If you keep it metal side down it's barely any sliding, it can even take a fair bit of jostling around. But I would not recommend tipping it sideways. They will slide down, then fall off due to jostling and bumping. Even plastic minis have enough weight that they'll effectively pry the magnet off the metal when bumped about on its side.

This is part of my Harlequins Eldar and Dark Eddar army I am building. All the Eldar will be this bright red orange yellow, the dark Eldar will be light blue to purple gradient, and the Harlequins will be diamonds checkers of the two. The theme is the Harlequins were able to bring the Eldar and Dark Eldar togther and lead them to help them fight Chaos.

So my local game store is selling the GW crusade figure case that the ex store manger stole from the store. They are selling it for $70, has anyone used one of these, it seems decent but I have never given them a serious look cause they are normally so expensive. Also totally down to spend $60 on Gangs of Commorragh, my now all I need for my Dark Eldar part of my new army is a Ravager.

It's also highly unlikely they made a different injection mold with less options just for putting out this game kit. Those things are expensive.

Soulfucker posted:lol at people taking Games "We won't squat Brettonians" Workshop at their word when they say they're not pulling an End Times on 40k. At this point I'm watching the new releases unfold like a slow motion trainwreck, always reminding myself that hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. Reminder that I was told, to my face, by the person they hired to market AOS, that they would never be getting rid of any army. I don't trust anything they say about the 40k reboot.
