All I wanna do is make you bounce
Started the stages of my batch painting where I'm weathering all my space barbies, something I haven't really done before as my 40k army has a very clean aesthetic. That moment when you shift from "oh god am I really gonna mess up something that I took a lot of time to paint" to "hell yeah, time to gently caress some poo poo UP" is a real fun one.

I also got a sicaran venator, I'm away this weekend but going to build it when I get back.

What should I use for Orth? Does he have a model or should I just convert a captain?

I'm kinda regretting getting autek mor, because I'm thinking I'll generally want to use Ferrus but I don't really want to field both of them. I'll probably use autek in sub 3k games I guess.

Autek Mor is one of the best HQs in the game. For his cost, he can slam up against a lot of stuff and come out ontop thanks to T5, FTP, and all the other good stuff.

Orth is great. If you like conversions, make your own, otherwise you can probably just proxy in a sergent.

This is literally me, after being all "oh my god this looks like poo poo" for 90% of the model the best part is when it all comes together in the end.

I'd love to see it too. As I said a bit ago, I'm working on painting my first tac squad. Just started maybe a month and a half ago, been steadily getting it assembled. I posted my paint scheme test model and have cleaned it up since

He's fantastic yeah, ferrus just does more and it's hard to get points for both and a bodyguard.

My first LoW (other than Ferrus) will probably be magnitizing a baneblade kit but I don't know if I'll do it this year so I'm not going to toxx.

Knights are cool too though. Which plastic knight should I look into first?

Skip the plastic knights and go for an Atrapos or an Acheron.

The Atrapos fires black holes and the Acheron fires the big flame template and has a chainfist.

Why are these hundreds of points cheaper than baneblade chassis stuff, jfc

How does a hellstorm template work?

Going to give this a 2/10. You're just repeating what others have done at this point without coming up with anything new.

I regard the death and mangling of a couple thousand toy soldiers as a small affair, a kind of morning dash


We had a pretty good turnout yesterday in Flint for a HH event - I only did the combat patrol. Faced my buddy at 750 pts, he had raven guard snowflake snipers, a tac squad, and three f'ing monstrous creature space janitor robot things with a controller and a landspeeder. In a combat patrol

My list had a stupid expensive Destroyer squad, assault squad, and a landspeeder. Needless to say the Mc robots had like 2+ cover due to a warlord trait and raven guard snowflake stuff, they destroyed me

What kind of shading and highlighting do you do with your gold?

I'm wanting to do my artificer armored guys with gold trim instead of the usual silver, but my golds usually end up a little dull and dark. I use the P3 line of metallics.

I don't really do much tbh, mostly just gold and then a soft tone wash from Army painter. Glorious Gold is indeed amazing
