Chorus of Hams posted:Mould Line Remover, Mould Line Remover  Thanks internet  Speaking of Neophyte Hybrids, they come with 25mm bases and I want to stick them on 32mm ones (not that I'll actually use them in a game anyway), but does 8th Edition's rules now use measuring distance from the model or is still base edge? EDIT: To clarify the blade thing, my eyes were nowhere near the blade when it snapped, it snapped while cutting on a table and flew backwards and up because physics or something.

Still base edge. 25mm is about an inch though so if you stick 'em on 32, just measure from base center and add .5 inches 25mm should mostly go away, models need room to breath man, specially all the newer stuff which is at a bigger scale due to scalecreep.

I put off getting the mold line remover because I figured it was a dumb money grab and I was fine with an exacto knife. I picked one up like 6 months back after I heard a bunch of good things from people down at the local nerd store. I was pleasantly surprised. I still need to use the back or blade of an exacto from time to time, but the mold line remover covers most things pretty well and there's no risk of accidentally slicing off a chunk.

Liquid Communism posted:Xenos are hosed, because your 4-man 4k point army has to share faction keywords Dunno where you're getting that from, it's not in the rules you quoted. RAW if they're using those detachments then Factions don't even matter as none of the ones they've written up feature the 'all units in this detachment must share a faction' that all the official ones have. Remember: Battle Forged is not the same as the matched play requirement on everything needing to share a faction. Battle Forged is literally just 'Uses detachments and gains CP'.

The Genestealer guys and their Hybrid Guard Buddies are going on some 32mm bases like the god/patriarch intended. If my Flying Pirate Air Dwarves come with 32mm bases then these guys can have some too.

The first of my Knights of House Taranis is ready for war. Learned some stuff about painting knights along the way. Mostly - I need to get better at the heat burn on the barrels, and I should make a base first then put the model onto it. Next two should be better.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/10/16/craftworld-focus-iyanden-oct-16gw-homepage-post-3/ Iyanden effectively get a free  on all units, and anything with a damage charge doubles its current wounds count when working out which profile line to use.Also Wraithguard, Wraithblades and Wraithlords for all Craftworlds get +1T for no extra cost, and Spiritseers drop from 66 to 45pts.

Holy poo poo, I was hoping that they previewed Iyanden first, and they sound great. Trying not to get hyped e: I hope Wraithblades' ghost axe + forceshield combo gets a bit of a discount... no mention of it so they probably didn't

I finally finished Magnus over the weekend. The dude was almost too big for my new (cheapo) light box! The wings too for-loving ever, but I'm happy with how they turned out.   May do some final touch-up on the armor plates when I get a pot of Stormhost Silver, but I'm p happy with him. I also really like the way they did the wing construction on the model, since I think I can get away with just not gluing or magnetizing the wings.

Pages late, but goddamn, it's like you played the Tyranid player Dan and I played at NOVA but with him being a dick on top of it. I also totally feel that stubborn urge to win, because if you're going to spend 6+ hours on a bad game, you better walk away with a victory. TheChirurgeon posted:I finally finished Magnus over the weekend. The dude was almost too big for my new (cheapo) light box! The wings too for-loving ever, but I'm happy with how they turned out. Man that's a good looking nipplewizard. My only complaint is that his base seems really plain, it needs some rocks or grass tufts or something to break up the generally flat space. Those feathers are incredible though.

Those feathers are incredible though. Thanks! The base is indeed very plain. I may add something to it later. The final hours of painting the fucker definitely got close to the "gently caress it, I want this thing done" side of the process because those wings took so goddamn long. May just add some skulls or more dreadnought bits if I can find some in my bitz box. I'm generally not huge on elaborate bases generally, though.

Broken Record Talk posted:Dude, that is gorgeous. Fantastic job. Sure! I'll actually post a guide later on this week. Enough people have asked me that I should make one. But the basic steps are: 1.) Undercoat the entire base Mephiston Red 2.) Martian Ironearth 3.) Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink! - Pyrrole Red. I put this on fairly heavily, don't mix at all with water. 4.) Dry brush Baylor Brown 5.) Optional, but I also do a light dusting in some spots of Martian Dust.

One thing though: I'd hit some of that gold with bright silver highlights on the sharpest edges/points. I know his armor is silver too, but it really helps define the gold better.

Eldar thoughts - day 1 does not disappoint, I’ve been gradually leaning towards benching my wraithlords because they weren’t tough enough, T8 makes a *huge* difference to that. 45 point spiritseers look extremely viable - I know what I’ll be counting my planned bonesinger purchase as. That new psychic power might be the best thing there though - currently only “conceal” is any good at all, whereas this new one looks like it has diverse applications, anywhere from shutting down a melee death star to giving an infantry squad on your side a chance to punch up for a a turn. Just sad that I’ll have to wait till at least Wednesday to find out what my Biel Tan bad bois get. I’m assuming the schedule will broadly be (based on craft world theming) Tuesday: Ulthwe + any guardian changes + new farseer powers Wednesday/Thursday 1: Saim Hann + bike changes + vehicle changes Wednesday/Thursday 2: Biel Tan + aspect warrior changes + autarch changes Friday: Alaitoc + any other business because what kind of theme is “has rangers”

Empower/Enervate is the real deal, you're gonna want at least Warlocks for that. One can only assume that Runes of Battle and Fate are both getting the full complement of six (6) psychic powers e: they must really want to move Spiritseer kits because they're totally worth the 10 point premium for 2 more wounds alone, plus they have real Smite and stuff Phyresis fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Oct 16, 2017 |
