Mux posted:Anyone have the lists from Heat 3 of the WH GT tournament? Specifically this list of Orks? They're not really around I don't think, GW don't post them or anything. The only lists I know are mine and Rich Gwatkin. The other Ork player who came 3rd was sort of posted on Dakka too. That's about it.

Glad to hear there are some friendly folks in the area. Still wishing / hoping there is a social network app or something so that we can find like minders players. I saw the system on Dakka, and it has a few search options, but seems underpopulated.

That area is full of people who play if the number of stores is any indication. There's a GW in Virginia Beach, and when I was driving through the area World's Best Comics & Games in Newport News seemed like they had a huge selection and a lot of playing space. Your best bet is to check out those stores and see what local groups they have; I know most stores have a Facebook group (although for whatever reason I still can't find the Springfield store one).

Perhaps it’s time to bring it back, seems like it would be a useful resource: http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=613438&add=1 I still have the admin password, if someone else wants to help curate it with me.

Took my 1500pt 'What I had built' SW list to a 14 man tourney today. Lost 2/4 to a Sisters army with Celestine and Greyfax in the first round, then got my poo poo pushed in 2nd round by a 75% bikes Custodes list. Bye in the third may keep me from last place, but I deserve it.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Has anyone seen people do Scions with a ceramic-style armor scheme? I've decided that I need a quick way to paint large tanks, and that using the same Bonewhite/Soft Tone/Bonewhite drybrush scheme that I use on my Primaris armor might work well on tanks. I bought some Scions so I could try the helmet on with my Scouts (I think it will look great), and since a Scion battalion is a fairly cheap way to get command points and some guys who can drop in unannounced I figured it might be worth messing around. I'm thinking of doing the hard parts in a bone color, and then doing the soft parts in a washed gray (so a gray base, light gray highlights, then washed with black). I'll probably do a test model once these Hellblasters are finished but I was curious as to what people think. That colour scheme would probably work and you'll prob get a slightly desert urban vibe from them. If I was you I would try to figure out a way to get the purple you are using on your marines in there. Maybe on the scopes/eye lenses?

I know the purple is a major point of the Primaris guys but I'm not sure how much I want to use it outside of the marines. Like the Primaris use mostly purple, the scouts would use purple with desert pants, and then the Scions would be mostly desert with black.

Something I really like about the 'soup' ally system for 8e is how friendly it is WRT making mini 500-point armies that you can then match together. I'm considering seeing if you can make a dece 500 points Salamanders detachment, since their role as Not Insane Marines make them a nice pair with what I'm going for with the sisters/LotD army.ThNextGreenLantern posted:Psh, I'm going to buy one from Russia for half the price.

I've been avoiding talking about it for obvious recast stigma reasons, but I got an entirely legit promise Forgeworld package, and the copyright info was hilariously screwed up both in spelling and printing onto the bag. It made me smile to think that copyright DO NOT STEAL info has become yet one more esoteric detail for copycats to add for an air of quality, especially with my current opinions on IP laws. Like a socialist smoking a cigar with a gently caress COMMUNISM lighter.

Almost forgot, I played a game recently! 4,000 point Necron vs Tau game as a last hurrah before they get a codex. Used the Open War cards and ended up with a weird deployment. Our objective was The Comet, so after two turns of exchanging fire the objective lands on the table. Fortunately it landed by my 20 strong Warriors squad and their Cryptek babysitter. End of turn 5, he wasn't able to move them off the objective, securing me the win!

So a fortnight later I'm able to paint for about 20 minutes before fatigue starts to set in to my shoulder, but 20 minutes isn't zero so I might actually be able to finish my inceptors this week since it's just highlighting metallics, iconography and cleanup. I used greenstuff and basing paint to make them be plowing into the dirt in a landing rather than gently caress about with flight stands again. Not pictured are the other two where I faffed about and hollowed out the re-entry masks so all 3 of them have an open one like this guy.
