The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
I've got this shot of my Darnath Lysander (painted by PaintVagrant) if you wanna use it for the Imperial Fists shot:



If not, I've got a bunch of additional Imperial Fists models we could use if you want a different unit.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

poo poo, you're right. The Mek repair skill meets the criteria for "abilities that affect other units within a certain range" and since nothing is specifically stated it has no effect while embarked.

Back to the drawing board.

I know, I was super disappointed myself...

Some new(?) info on that Fate of Konor Summer Campaign: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/06/10/the-fate-of-konor-more-on-the-global-campaign-june10/

tl;dr: 6 weeks long, Imperium vs Chaos, Xenos wins can be used to reduce wins of Imp/Chaos, online reporting system like Summer of War had.

I think based on that I might skip meks entirely, save possibly for one with the burnas, and do a biker warboss. That or just straight up use Ghaz. Weirdboyz are also cheap and offer a decent source of mortal wounds.

Ghaz (and/or a Biker Warboss) and Weirdboyz seem to be the best HQ choices for the Index Orks ATM.

Edit: I don't hate a KFF Mek protecting a loaded Loota Mobile Fortress 'Wagon either. It's some savage mobile shooting damage.

CUPOLA MY BALLS
I can borrow my girlfriend's camera and take a decent picture of my iron hands if no one else steps up for the role


So once my AoS list is done I'll have 950 points of nurgle daemons, so I was thinking I may as well make a death guard/daemon list. Was thinking of something like this:

HQ:
Great Unclean One
Herald of Nurgle
Typhus

Troops:
7 plague marines with power axe, 2 blight launchers
7 plague marines with power axe, 2 blight launchers
20 plaguebearers with icon, instrument
20 poxwalkers
3 nurglings

Fast attack:
3 plague drones with instrument
Foetid bloat-drone

Heavy support:
Soul grinder

Dedicated transport:
Rhino with 2 combi bolters
Rhino with 2 combi bolters


The list is a little weak in AT capability, with the soul grinder's gun being the only ranged one. Pretty durable though, and access to some nice psyker powers. With the herald of nurgle nearby for +1 strength, the soul grinder and great unclean one can definitely wreck vehicles in melee. Could drop the poxwalkers for something else, I just figure they'll be cheap to get and typhus buffs them. But getting some havocs or a hellbrute or something might be a good idea instead, any advice there?

So I just bought a box of guard for the first time in five years. What tips can you. Give to someone who is probably a poo poo painter so the models look decent. I'm going for a black purple and gold scheme

For guard you'll likely end up painting dozens of them, so practice a way to make them look smart relatively quickly without spending too much time on fiddly details. That way everything added later looks consistent.

The simplest way to do this is base colour then shade. For mass infantry like this it can help to start with a lighter colour and shade down, so if you're going with purple uniforms then two thin coats of Xereus or Genestealer purple to start with and follow up with a darker shade that gets the look you want. Nuln Oil for a black contract, Druchii Violet for a dark purple. Finally if you want you can drybrush or highlight back up again depending on the finished effect you're going for and how much time you want to spend on each model.

Experiment with a single model first. Thin your base/layer paints and always do two thin coats, allowing them to dry properly each time.

The KFF Mek makes a bit more sense for the open topped wagon since it's T7 instead of T8. Another thought is to make a KFF Biker Mek and keep him outside the vehicles but keep everyone close so they're within 9".

Not currently - I had a mock-up of how I planned to do them years ago, but I haven't touched my guys in a long, long time. I'll base the champion if I have time this week and post it.

In the meantime, if someone else has fully painted & based Death Guard models feel free to step in!

If you don't mind ridiculously old minis appearing on the 8th ed thread I can do a Space Marine army shot using my Salamanders (though in that case you're likely better of leveraging SRM's Ultras). Technically I have the Hellbats in a box somewhere if you don't mind custom chapters or the fact there's only like a couple squads in the army :)
