The Sex Cannon posted:Would you even have to worry about filming, necessarily? You could take still shots based on deployment, and at the end of every phase or turn, and then write down the cogent points to be set for narration afterwards? If you approached is systematically with a checklist or something I'm sure you could put something together that's worth a watch. And then maybe leave some time at the end for reactions shot on your phone? You could approach it like a camhammer video. Aye. If anyone wants to stop by, I'm happy to meet more goons and possibly get stomped like the parking lot is probably going to do to me.

Anyone got any advice (or good pictures of successful conversions!) for converting combi- weapons? It seems like the usual method is: 1) find weapon, cut off tip 2) stick on bolter Looks like afaik sisters never had a combi-melta model, just a combi-flamer. The flamer bit is stuck low on the bolter, kinda where one would expect a grenade launcher on a modern weapon. The marine models for combi-meltas look like they are a whole different model, with the bolter as the underslung part. I don't like the look of this as much, aesthetically, but it makes more sense, I guess, inasmuch as any of these weapons make sense. I'm guessing it's going to be easier to just tack a melta nozzle (barrel? emitter?) under a bolter, run a wire power cable if I want to be fancy, than to try and convert old metal models to use marine plastic weapons. I am well aware most people wouldn't care, I'm doing this for fun, and would mostly just like to see other people's success at doing similar projects. This is a little more small and fiddly than anything I've converted so far.

Having played a few games with the new Chaos Marine codex (Black Legion x2, World Eaters x2, Iron Warriors x1), I wanted to post some thoughts: - I need to make more plasma gun mans for my Black Legion - I keep forgetting to apply the legion traits. That's got to stop. - I'm pretty impressed with the strategems. As good as some of them seem, I haven't found any of them to be "auto use," nor do they feel significantly better than the baseline strategems available to everyone. Most of the time I still want to use 1 CP to reroll a critical result, though of the ones I have used, I've found the 1 CP to ignore movement penalties on a vehicle firing heavy weapons has been the most helpful overall. In my opinion, this is the ideal outcome. - Berserkers are so loving good, especially as World Eaters - Possessed are cool now. They aren't berserker-level good, but I think they're definitely usable now. The extra wound is a big deal and having S5 AP-2 attacks means they're really good at shredding marines and other heavy infantry.

Anyone know if the headlight plate from a space marine bike will fit on a scout bike? The scout one has a critical lack of trim.

BIG MEATY SHITS posted:cult dilemma. 5 aberrants (3 with picks and 2 with hammers) cost the same as 12 stealers. the picks are 1S (5) and 1AP (-2) better than stealers, and do D3 damage. hammers are S10 and poo poo but hitting on 4s. abberants also have an extra wound (2). stealers get an extra attack (3), re-roll 1s to hit, and do -4AP on 6s to wound. they also have their 5++ and can advance and charge in the same turn. Throw a Primus in with Aberrants and they'll eat any armor or elite infantry in existence. Armies: GSC Tyranids Necrons Orks* *quit and selling.

If Aberrants had another wound, a better save, or if their Bestial Vigor also reduced damage of 1-damage attacks, they'd probably have a really valuable role as bullet sponges making a slow, inexorable advance. As is their poor save and middle of the road toughness make them really bad tank units, and small arms fire devastates them. If you already have so many Genestealers that another unit won't make much difference, I'd say give the Aberrants a shot. Either hide them in a Goliath or hope for a lucky Cult Ambush roll and use them as either an anti-armor or anti-Terminator scalpel. Mixing weapon types doesn't seem like a great idea to me tbh, since if you go after vehicles it means half of your rolls will be comparatively disadvantaged due to the picks, so I'd have a Primus chill with them in a Rockgrinder and slam it into any vehicle your regular Stealers can't eat through.

Zuul the Cat posted:Kataphrons (as of the index) can already advance and shoot with no negative modifiers to shooting, but only get to advance D3". I think all of their guns, except for the Flamer and Phosphor Blaster, are all heavy. Well no, Kataphrons can move and shoot without negative modifiers, they have no such rule for advancing.

Question for you guys, probably better in the painting thread but I dont actually know where that is.. feel free to call me a noob and correct my ignorance. I see pictures where people have stuck the model in some type of clay or putty, and attached that to a 'base' of some form that they use to paint before they actually glue the fuckers on the round plastic "play games with me" base. What is that putty/clay stuff? Is it some craft supply? A wad of gum? The poo poo you use to stick stuff to walls or glow in the dark stars to ceilings?

Next question on deck: I'm a scrub who didn't think to magnetize his Redemptor Dread, are there any sites (besides ebay) where I might find *just* his arms? I still have the parts for the other arm weapons, and the arms can be swapped out (not glued). I was thinking I could just have two sets of arms instead of buying another whole dread kit.

I like doing weird batch painting groupings. This time around I did a squad of 3 scout bikers and the old Captain Draco model from 3rd ed, who will be serving as a lieutenant. Fast Attack choices are universally kind of a pain to paint:        This guy was real fun though:

I finished him up a bit today. I am having trouble bringing out the reds in the whip to contrast the pink of the armor without making them look too plasticy or like twizzlers.

Hencoe posted:https://www.warhammer-tactics.com/s...rnament-players I gotta say, a lot of those assertions hold up once you realize that the people who stick in your memory best are the douchehats. They're also the ones who will be sure to tell you in the first five minutes you've met them about all the tourneys they've placed in/won. The author pretty much failed to convince me he had anything good to say at the point he started arguing that 'overpowered' was only meaningful relative to 'the meta', because casual players do not care about the tournament meta for the most part, and aren't going to build for it. Especially when he follows up with going on about how he runs the current snowflake unintentional rules interaction list solely because it is clearly more powerful. It's cool that he likes to win, winning is part of the game after all, but there's a time and place for cutthroat play and the foul reputation of dedicated tourney players among many casual players has a lot to do with the number of them unable or flatly unwilling to dial it back. You see the same thing in M:TG, ironically enough. Edit : One thing I'm actually quite pleased with New!GW over is that they've provided a pretty clear solution to the following, via rapidly updating FAQs : "Regarding the claim that tournament players ‘interpret the rules in ways unintended’, I have already written extensively on this blog about how it is extremely difficult, and in many cases impossible, to discern the intent of the author when writing a particular rule."

Been working on my Deffwatch mans over the past couple of weeks, both to finish off the army and to move all the half-assembled mans off my painting station where they're taking up shitloads of room with their 32mm bases. i'm about 90% done with the army at this point, I think.    Next up: 1 more bike, 1 more terminator, 1 more jumpmans, and a razorback. Everything after that is optional.

I got my new mat in, and also finished painting up my 2k list, so I decided to take all my painted 'nids out for a group shot. I've only got my lovely cellphone cam, so it didn't come out that great - but still, seeing it all on the table like that feels great. Next up, another Broodlord and 8 more genestealers to get the count up to 40!

MasterSlowPoke posted:Those freehand 3s on those Deathwatch are awesome. How'd you do the lizard loincloth? Thanks! I probably could have put a bit more time into them, but they look good enough out of photos. The loincloth is part of the model, actually. I wanted to do a model to represent BuffaloChicken's brother's homebrew chapter of space marines called the Flame Drakes iirc. They're a Salamanders offshoot. Back when the Deathwatch Overkill box set came out, I ordered a few of the terminator models to get extra shoulder pads and powerfist+meltagun arms, so I had a few extra terminator bodies. I used one of those and trimmed off the shoulder shield on it to get another terminator with similar Salamander-esque aesthetics. The original DW:Overkill model
