There is nothing stopping you from dipping your models in primer right now, they'll just look like poo poo.

Drybrushed primers?  There are plenty of brush-on primers, however. I used black and grey gessos for years and now I've switched to a Vallejo brush-on. Works great.

I didn't have the book in front of me and I thought they were still Fast Attack. But yeah, they don't have the supersonic rules that protect them from ground attacks or the movement restrictions

Not 40k but the female Sigmarine looks really cool, I like the functional armor over metal breast enhancers. I don't want to open a can of worms but it gives me confidence that they can pull off revamped SoB or even female marines.

If this isn't dipping a toe in the pool of making more diverse miniatures, I don't know what is. Shadespire comes with a female Sigmarite too, and she looks pretty solid.

I'm really not a fan of the sigmen, they're way too blocky and misproportioned. Every single one of them looks like a dumb meat man the size of a refrigerator. The two women they've shown so far just seem like much better models. Their proportions are better and they look like they could feasibly move. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come. I'd love to see Sisters return and, who knows, it might even lead to mixed guard squads.

The Arcadian Guard has sync-ed up pretty good in both full models and head swaps. She does good work and looks like she just started a new store. https://victoriaminiatures.com/ Anyone have any experience with the Statuesque Minis heads? I'm thinking of getting a set to sprinkle in my DeathWatch allies. Finding alternative heads for the Imperial Guard was easy but I'm curious if getting some for Space Marines is tricky.

Bringing my Konor list to the store tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing how well it does. I'm not going to cheap out by stormraven rushing the other side and disembarking stuff off the map, but definitely will try and get some of them off the board once my vehicles make it to the other side. I'm taking a stormraven with captain, apothecary, 5 cataphractii, and a contemptor. Razorback with 6 tac marines, a jump Lt leading 9 vanguard, and 3 predators. Vanguard + Spearhead detachment at 1850. I'm wanting to mix it up and cause some havoc with the jump infantry and vanguard, while the 4 tanks advance through their line. I'll be using my machine empathy and killshot stratagems a fair bit I think. If I fight another imperium player and end up defending, I can do a suicide rush with the stormraven because defender gets a stratagem to bring dead flyers back onto the table. if I attack, my vanguard can get a turn 1 charge off if they don't deploy well back because defender doesn't get to seize in this scenario.

I love Imperial Guard and would totally play them or some sort of Renegades equivalent if it wasn't for the fact that a 30 dollar box of dudes only gives you like 30 points of models

So I'm looking to flesh out (  ) my Emperor's Children/Slaanesh army a bit with some shooty units other than vehicles. I was thinking Obliterators or Havocs, but I've never used either, nor have I seen them used. Are these my best options, or am I overlooking something?

MasterSlowPoke posted:With the way army matchups go in the Narrative you're probably actually at a disadvantage having so many points in Flyers. If you're going to clearly outmatch someone however, you can always dedicate one Vulture to only killing civilians. I'm pretty sure Dan's doing that already. All civilians will die. I will fire Manticores at them if I have to. gently caress them. OhDearGodNo posted:The list with 2 vultures also has 6 infantry squads, I should be good but the new rules are troubling. I've already set to try and set a new record for civilian casualties so devoting them to that function seems like a viable course of action... 6 IG infantry squads are not hard to kill if you're not going out of your way to hide them. Especially in NoVA missions. Expect them to die. You won't kill more civies than me. No way, no how.

Kabuki Shipoopi posted:So I'm looking to flesh out ( I'm assuming you already have Noise Marines, which are pretty solidly shooty and now a Troop again for EC. Havocs get a good selection of weapons, though I'm still a fan of keeping them cheap using either Heavy Bolters or Autocannons. ACs don't have an official modern bit, so it would be some kitbashing to create them. Unless you fill out the unit with ten models you're going to find Havocs targeted and taken out quickly because of their damage potential so it's best not to invest a ton of points into the costlier options. Obliterators are a great choice, as they're survivable and their random weapon is still good with a low roll and great at with a high one. They're also one of the few Chaos units that can teleport in for good positioning. In the new edition you must field units with a minimum of three models and their models are older sculpts that, while not terrible, are pretty fiddly and expensive for what they are.
