WhiteWolf123 posted:So are all the Land Raider variants and custom-built Land Raider options in Chapter Approved only for Open Play and not for Matched Play, since the information is located in the Open Play section of the book? The custom LRs still don't look good enough to be overly-competitive for Matched Play... Yes, it's all intended for Open only. You can of course discuss with opponents about using them in matched, but don't just turn up with them and expect to play.

OhDearGodNo posted:I have been productive over the holidays, however the Repulser has taken me longer than I had thought. It’s about 90% complete, also all weapons are magnetized. Because White Scars are incredible and are criminally under represented on the table top and in the fluff. If you haven't yet, pick up the 30k books Brotherhood of the Storm, Scars and Path of Heaven. serious gaylord posted:I have a Perturabo undercoated on a shelf thats been there since his early release at a horus heresy weekender in I want to say May 2015? All my paints are dead and my brushes wasted away. It takes a bit of adjusting but 8th plays faster, has more depth via stratagems and there is a whole lot less bullshit than 7th. Its pretty close to being fun even.

Hi all! I'm a relatively new player that started a 500 point group will my four buddies 6 months ago, and oops! Now we're all 3000+. After years of painting D&D minis, working on my giant foot slogging ork green tide has been a real pleasure! Anyways, my group and I are in the City of Chicago, so I figure I'd really be passing up an easy opportunity to enjoy Adepticon, so I bought a pass. Do you think it'd be worthwhile to sign up for the Patrol or Championship tournament just for the fun of playing? If wait-listed for those, is there any real chance of seeing action?

I'm looking to get back into playing 40k and I'd like to build a Salamanders army. I'm looking to be competitive. Does anyone have a list they could share? I'm just trying to figure out what models to get first.

I’m playing in the friendly and it filled up in like 20 minutes. I think some goons are planning some kind of meet up at some point during the weekend and I’d be down for some games. Also I’m about 30 minutes south of the city if you ever make it out to the burbs.

OhDearGodNo posted:I’m still trying to work my way up to it in order, I think I have only a few more before I reach Scars (on Vulkan Lives right now) Scars is definitely one of my favorite Horus Heresy books by far. I especially like the Earthman White Scars Khan. A character that totally makes sense and is interesting for the Heresy. There is an amazing fight at the end too. There is so very weird "We no speak-ee Engrish good" stuff when they talk to normal Imperials, but isn't as bad as it could be.

My pics are garbage but I finished a few mans this week. My Space Marine Captain (the Store Anniversary captain) and one of the sergeants from the Dark Imperium box. I found these cool lion shoulders for my captain and got some lion emblems from shapeways so I'm calling my chapter Royal Lions.  A sergeant and my infantry commander for my faux-Praetorians. I'm intntionally using the same basing on my IG and my Space Marines as I intend to field them together.

I'm already salivating over the nurgle stuff, these releases have reduced my nurgle 40k wishlist to: -Nurgle upgrade kit for the plastic Daemon Prince to replace the finecast Nurgle Prince that requires a conversion to put wings on him - Plague Marines on Rot Flies -An overarching allegiance bonus for all nurgle models.

Uroboros posted:Your display is going to make mine look like a boring pile of dicks. Guess I'll just have to go on my superior looks to impress the judges. Thanks guys. I used a propane torch to burn out the river... no mask (though I did do it in the garage and turned a fan on blowing out the open door... in -6 degrees). Ilor posted:I'm Legs McFuzzyboots. My girlfriend laughed at this and decided to get in another photobomb  Plastered the board, gf made some icicles in the cave which was really awesome until I realized they'd go away once I painted   Base painted - photobomb  Cliffs and river painted - added rocks to the river and top of waterfall  Next steps are to: 1. Apply some dead grass flock to areas of the cliffs and walkways (along cliffs) and around the river 2. Apply some reeds along areas of the river 3. Paint some lichen on the bottom levels of the cliffs and around the waterfall 4. First layer of "real water" 5. Paint the platforms cream or bone 6. Create the waterfall and paint it 7. Apply second later of "real water" mixed with some white paint and maybe a little bit of light blue 8. Strip and paint the extra bits (totems and destroyed scout sentinel) 9. Apply snow flock 10. Varnish the display 11. Varnish the wood 12. Buy a brass plaque and nail to the frame 13. ??? 14. Drink I'm hoping to be done through step 8 by Saturday, then I'll finish out the rest next week. Not sure what to do yet with the board above the cliffs.

Honestly I think I would just cut off the board above the cliffs. It doesn't seem high enough to provide a real sense of background.

Thank you, after trying a ton of different combinations of paints, shades, glazes and tints from every other manufacturer, what finally got me where I wanted was just the basic GW formula: Xereus Purple base, Druchii Violet shade and Genestealer Purple highlight.

I'm just trying to figure out what models to get first. The salamanders rule is one reroll hit and one reroll wound per squad. I like running at least 3-4 5-man tactical squads with Lascannon because of this.

Save yourself some arseache by also picking up a can of Retributor Gold spray. And depending on how you paint gold, maybe look into the gloss versions of the shades. I believe they do Agrax, Sepia, and Reikland Fleshshade.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Can someone tell me what a typical Elite Death Guard list looks like? Plague Marine troops and whatever combination of characters, tanks, and Daemon engines suits your style. Typical lists tend to include 2-3 Plagueburst Crawlers babysat by a barebones Chaos Lord to improve their BS. Daemon Princes of Nurgle are great since they actually get the Disgustingly Resilient bonus unlike the other carry-overs from the standard CSM codex. The new Malefic Blighthaulers are a decent choice for mobile cover and ok anti-tank but I’m not sure how often you’d see them in truly competitive list. Basically almost everything is great and it’s really up to what you like. I personally have found Foul Blightspawns to be worth their weight in gold, they can nuke hard targets surprisingly well with their vomitflamer and their stink ability is actually pretty helpful against melee-heavy armies (though useless is only one unit charges at a time).

I don't. Maybe it'd be good if you used the matte version to line the chest eagle and the gloss on the inside, but if it's all gloss it just looks bad next to matte armor.

Uroboros posted:Would you recommend the gloss shade for gold emblems like the chest Aquila? Provisionally, yeah. I've not used it myself for that purpose but it makes sense. The idea behind them is that they avoid muting the shine on metallics. Mostly I like them because they collect in recesses more easily and stain flat areas less. MasterSlowPoke posted:I don't. Maybe it'd be good if you used the matte version to line the chest eagle and the gloss on the inside, but if it's all gloss it just looks bad next to matte armor. Good point.
