In my opinion, you can't go wrong with a bone-style color for the fabric. It's not flashy, but pretty neutral and the rest of the armor/flesh are flashy enough.

TheChirurgeon posted:There definitely aren't "too many armies that are utterly immune to morale," and even Ld 10 stuff will feel it if you can drop their Ld by 2-3 points before forcing a test. I mean I'm exaggerating but there's been a bit of a preponderance of armies that grant every unit the commissar rule thus pretty much negating the main purpose of the Night Lords' special rule. And then there's armies like tyranids where for most practical purposes you ignore the morale phase.

I am honestly struggling to think of any army other than Tyranids that is even close to being immune to morale post commisssar nerf. By the commissar rule are you referring to the new deal where they reroll failed tests? I guess there's a bit of that going around but I'm a lot less bothered by a simple reroll than the ASTKNF of yore.

goodness posted:Made some progress on my first dude in years. Also unfortunately learned that Teal is already used by another legion Fabrics: - Purple is the safe option with teal, the colours are very complimentary. - A bright sickly yellow is your daring option, for if you want to make a statement. - White works with anything. It'd be a good choice here, especially with a delicate bloodsplatter at the bottom. Check out my Alpha Legion on the previous page because I've got a very similar colour scheme to the teal going, and note the purple and white fabrics and see if anything appeals to you. if you like the bluegreen I've got going, by the way, the recipe is Ahriman blue > Collea greenshade > Baharroth blue highlights and then a 50-50 Lahmian Medium/Waywatcher Green shade over the lower 25% of each armour panel.

Finished my first five 40k minis! I've only painted about 10 minis in total before this, so I'm real happy with how they came out. I even put together an awful lightbox to snap a picture. I magnetized their heads so I can swap the Vanguard's out for the Ranger ones, which look cooler IMO  There are a handful of places I'd like to touch up, as well as apply the decals, but I'm going to move on to finish up the rest of this Start Collecting box first.

Multi wound units are more or less immune to morale since its casualties rather than wounds done. Funny as hell when a night lord chaos lord deals one kill surrounded by banner raptors an you hear "wait its down by how much". Outside of that I find morale barely matters.

My ally in a team game ran a leadership bomb eldar list which which lead to him making a custodian guard and a grey knight paladin flee through morale, but the list was built to do that sort of thing and it was really a sideshow to him sniping characters for 6 mortal wounds.

I quit playing back in 5th edition and friends have told me 8th got rid of a lot of the sucky things. Things like how badly being immune to morale would turbo gently caress Tyranids with a rusty cactus back in the day. For those who are blessedly ignorant, if you were 'fearless' and lost a melee fight by number of wounds caused you took even more wounds. To abuse this any half decent melee unit would charge in to a pile of cheapo 'weight of bodies' units, like oh, say Tyranids tend to have, wipe the floor with them, and have one guy who touched a Carnifex or decked out Hive Tyrant or something. All the wounds piled up from dead Termagants or whatever, the big critter 'lost' and then just loving evaporated under a pile of auto-hit, auto-wound armor saves bypassing his defenses. So I'll take 8th edition's morale with a smile on my face.

They're largely sub-faction specific rules, and you have to choose between that and "free rerolls when shooting" and "free 6+ FNP for your entire army" so I have genuinely never seen Iyanden or any of the others that do that fielded under 8th edition.

I'd rather go back to when breaking a unit through morale ment you could run them off the board. Felt like you did something before all loyal marines got the boost to ATSKNF an were legit not able to be taken off the board except by killing them one by one. poo poo brought the game to a standstill an god help you if it was two cc loyalist armies against each other.

Back in 4th Edition Tyranid failing morale fell back toward their nearest Synapse creature, which made for some interesting maneuvering.

I can't find a certain bit for my Cult Stormsword--on two of my Cult Leman Russes, the pilots have knives. I cannot for the life of me find any more hands holding Genestealer Cult knives, and am about to just kitbash them. For the future and my curiosity, which kit has the knives? It appears to be neither the GSC Upgrade Sprue nor in the Neophyte Hybrid kit.

Otherwise I'm not sure: I don't see many "knife held in hand" parts on the GSC sprues either (which is a little surprising actually), does it look like a genestealer knife or a guard knife? It could be a Catachan blade (top left)?  E: Also, eat hot plasma death xenos scum, &c. &c. Schadenboner fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Mar 20, 2018 |

Thanks for the help, all, and especially to Two Beans for showing me I already looted my sprues t Finishing this Shadowsword and then it's back to Necrons for me for a while. I plan on grabbing at least one Titcron figure, but I'll be carving off the breasts to make just normal humanoid spider roborg as Szeras, because to hell with Finecast. I have also discovered I do not need the like 4 metal Spyders I have, so those are up for sale/trade if anyone wants them, along with the shitload of metal Eldar and some Orks. herpderpspamcatcher@gmail.com e: One last thing: what were you guys using to apply water transfer decals? First time I used them was on my Necrons so now they're all slipping off. Proletariat Beowulf fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Mar 20, 2018 |

So, fluff question: I know that Titan Legions have organic infantry (Secutarii) but do they also have other machines (like the rest of the AdMech army list) and/or Knights that march in Legio colors? It's been a little bit since I re-read Titanicus so I'm not sure on this (and I think it was written during the long period where, like Genestealer Cults, Knights were somewhere between "Semi-cannon" and "Seen but not heard"?)

I think over the next few months my friends and I are going to cobble together our own set of rules composed of the best of 3rd-8th editions.

Put Micro Set down on the area, apply transfer as usual, then let it dry/dab off excess liquid. Apply Micro Sol, maybe a few coats, then varnish.

I hope necrons get some lovely novelty dice because I want some. Seems a bit random which factions have got them. All the flavours of space marines did (wait, 1k sons didn't did they?) as well as Custodes. Eldar got one set for each aspect. Guard, AdMech, and Tau on the other hand didn't.

I'm trying to think of a point where GK's were noteworthy for a positive reason rather than "lol stiltwalker" "wears SoB heads as helmets" and "if you're chaos dont even bother playing against this army". I guess they were really good before Smite got nerfed, but I don't consider that a positive because smite spam sounded dumb.

Way back in the day, they were amusing to troll Tau players with, since Incinerators ignored invulnerable saves along with cover, and were AP4. Denying Firewarriors of any save was a fun time. People who just spam smite and/or other psyker powers are never interesting opponents regardless of the edition.

there was that short period in 5th edition where they had surprisingly good shooting within 24 inches and an even better rifleman dread and silly special grenades and weird wargear and purifiers had that dumb power where you rolled a dice for every model in every unit engaged with them and they took a wound on a 4+. I once killed about 40 orc boyz in one go with that. and then the 6th edition codex took all of their dumb fun toys, and made the toys they kept worse

Maybe if you embraced the Architect of Fate, you too could zip around on a magic disc of fire and/or turn into a physical coalescence of the most nightmarish forces of the warp.
