It does seem like a significant amount of people who play Warhammer are relentlessly negative.

Yeah just see those three threads that only have just bitching in them.

A big part of why I like the ICs podcast and having people like Carl around is the positive attitude. You can tell that he doesn't think the game or the company that produces it is flawless, he just really likes this poo poo and enjoys the gaming and hobby of it all.

HMMMM.

People would generally rather listen to and engage in conversation with someone like that than someone who seizes on every error, bad rule, or idea, and takes it as personal affront or something. Screaming about it won't help you, do something constructive. Like if GW made me as furious as some of you dorks act like you are I'd have thrown my poo poo on ebay forever ago and moved on to something that I actually like.

And I've been working from home the past few days because we're moving floors in my office, so I finished a pair of rhinos and got some good progress on some graviton/volkite speeders.

The progress of my cult horde. The idea is to use them as either a goodie or a baddie force so they are more meant to represent a rabble. I have done 38 plus the leader. Only another 232 to go. Lord Twisted is likely selling up his salamanders in fear. There's no way to fight hordes with multiple flamer weapons.

They need basing properly.

The horde. The breakdown of society in the dome led to numerous factions forming, some off worlders, some that sheltered in the industrial or pharmaceutical levels and some of the feral tribes that had been cut off from the dome centuries ago. They have all united undrr Alandro following the emergence of the threat that the Imperial civil war represents.

Those are great. How do you do the bases? That's so much better than what I have done with mine and they are more the look that I wanted to get initially. Really great stuff

It's just vallejo black lava painted with rhinox hide, then washed with nuln oil gloss. Random bits of styrene i-beams/corrugated steel/pipes painted lead belcher then a random application of orange pigment and pigment fixer.

Built up a little crater with the black lava, painted a muddy green (or whatever colour you want), did another layer with some pigment sprinkled in and swirled around with a toothpick, then a layer of epoxy/water effects over the top. Some nuln oil gloss around the edge for some dried gunk/seeping mud.

There's no real wrong way to do the colours or swirls I think, just experimenting.

Dammit mate, stop being dirty and tailoring your list! Hordes of t3 5+ saves are such a hard counter to my str 5 ap5 flamers on pretty much every model.

In all seriousness this is looking great. I hope the goonocalypse goes well - it's my engagement party that day so it was going to be a tough sell to come...

This was exactly my issue too, wanted a black legion but not a black paint job. The black/purple iridescence is just a silver base, 2 layers of strong purple wash and then 2 careful layers of black wash. The 2nd and final black wash layer is the key and how strong or light you do it will determine how much of the iridescent purple shows through. I'm moving currently so hobby is on hold for a while but once it's done I am so keen to punch out a 1250pt ZM force of these guys.
