MasterSlowPoke posted:Didn't see anyone post this, must have slipped through the cracks with the Chapter Approved discussion: This is a very good video. I'd actually put my Mortarion on hold while I waited for it, and when I go back to him I'm going to re-paint some of the parts I'd already done. Because, as ever, Saint Duncan's is the true way.

I don't think you'd see much in the way of bending the way you might with thinner models or ones with very tiny details. As far as Finecast goes I'd call that one of the safer ones to go for.

That's what seems harder to fix.

Finecast can be kind weirda and I wouldn't ever want to build a squad of anything in it, but it's pretty straightforward to clean up a single character model. I've also not had a significant problem with holes in the finecast I have worked with, but this stuff is pretty great for all of your "I can't be hosed to get the greenstuff out." needs: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vallejo-20-ml-Plastic-Putty/dp/B000TSBJEO/ Also makes some really nice tree trunks if you glue a few bits of sprue together and then coat them with it. Also it's not that the special store stamp chaplain has too many skulls (impossible) but I think his skull scarf covers way too much of the model and makes it a bit shapeless.

Color choice question for the thread! I'm looking at redoing the scheme on my Fire Dragons. While I like red a lot, the nature of the color's wavelength means that one doesn't easily notice the difference in shades. I'd like to try to make the armor plates pop more and the way I think I'm going to do that is by highlighting it from a base red through orange to a yellow highlight. I'll probably reexamine my use of the green in lieu of a blue or purple. I'm also likely to tone down and use the gold much more sparingly. What are your thoughts? The current Fire Dragons look like this:

Harkano posted:Maybe you can help me with this. Sorry, I’ve not used Tankbustas myself, don’t have any, and can’t find plastic proxies that would fit (I hate finecast). I also don’t really Mathhammer - but you’d want to take more than 5 for the Squigs which are the reliable attacks, and then the re-roll to hit against vehicles isn’t too bad. So shooting with Rokkit launchas isn’t amazing, but the Tankhammers are guaranteed to wound so you could take multiple minimum sized units to get 2 hammers per 5. I’d probably wait for the Codex to see if they tweak the rules. Anti Armour seems a slight weakness right now, though I’ve killed predators by surrounding the buggers with enough Orks and whittling it down. That’s the most reliable way. Blitza Bommers look a bit unsatisfying too as do Wazbom Blastajets. Krump it up close.

Finecast has always been spotty about this and will continue to be but GW has also always replaced anything that had a bubble in it. I mean yeah Finecast sucks but this isn't really.... like when Finecast first came out there were plenty of models with no bubbles. And now there are still models that have bubbles. Its not that they "still" have it, its that they will always have a chance of having it. And again, if you write GW they will ship you a replacement.

One was Sigmar* the second is the one Russ had been sent to put down. *: I know nothing about current WFB, I know Sigmar originally disappeared which could have been Emps coming to pick him up but I don't know what happened to his legion, unless the Sigmarite dudes are literally them?

Zuul the Cat posted:The hoops you have to jump through just to be able to purchase this model is crazy. $50 per stamp? Are you in Australia or something? I think it was $20 at my GW store when that guy came up. They had stamps for checking in to the store on Facebook, for tagging a photo of the store and for liking the store page, then after that I just bought some of the sort of rare stuff they had lying around and got my chappy pretty quickly. $50/stamp is insane though. I'm still happy with how mine came out though:  Booyah- posted:Do they still have the problem with bubbles and missing detail just because resin didn't reach completely in to the model? That's what seems harder to fix. I've had very little problem with Finecast bubbles and missing detail - that's mostly stuff that happened when they first made the material change but it's definitely not unheard of now. If you ever get a hosed up Finecast model just ring GW and they'll get you a replacement in no time. Liquid Green Stuff was developed specifically to fix those problems, which is kind of a lovely endorsement of Finecast but it's a neat tool to have anyway: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Liquid-Green-Stuff-2015

We concretely established in this thread sometime back that the 2nd Primarch ended up on a Gorkamorka world, was raised as a Digganob, painted himself green, and is now off leading a combined coalition Ork-Digganob Waagh against space itself as the lost messiah-son of Gork & Mork.
