Painted the first spacemen I’ve done in 5 years, and I built these dudes probably closer to 6 years ago hence the smaller bases.  Just have to finish the bases and touch some bits up and that’s a full squad completed.

Proletariat Beowulf posted:My eBay purchase of Forgebane hasn't even shipped yet--the guy says he just doesn't have it, and eBay just says I can't cancel my poo poo after PP paid it. From a couple pages back but wanted to confirm this. I bought one of the three dread Blood Angels boxes from them a couple months ago, almost 2 weeks, several messages, and opening a case with eBay later with no response, they finally messaged me to say it had gone to website only which has been true for a while, and that they could order it but it would be at least a week until they got it. Fortunately I was refunded and able to buy from another seller but it still sucked. Afterwords I looked at their negative feedback, which is low in all fairness, and there's multiple other people with the same issues. It seems like rather than having things in stock they just leave a listing up and order it in when someone buys something, which is lovely on its own, but then sometimes they just seem to forget to actually place that order and not notice for weeks. A definite avoid for me.

I'm about done with my fuckin' Cult Shadowsword, and then I'm barrelling back into my Necrons hardcore--but without all the cool poo poo I wanted. Don't purchase from Borderland Games, is what I've learned.

Gauss is green, heat rays would be orange etc etc. Red is the colour of the lords and Overlords.    Horrid to actually paint though, not a moment goes by when I’m painting when I don’t wish I’d gone with a regular gunmetal scheme which could be done with some drybrushing and a wash.

Dawgstar posted:If we do get this hypothetical big Ork release, I'm trying to think what I'd like out of it. A new model for a Warboss in Mega-Armor. Kidding, I say 'new' but mean 'any.' (Kromlech makes a nice 3P version. It's about as big as a Dreadnought.) New Warbuggies/traks models. Tankbustas and Kommandos. I feel like I'm missing something, but whatever. Biker nobs and a warboss on bike that isn't resin.

Just curious, how are the Thousand Sons? I have Death Guard as my main army (not that I play with any regularity) and while I have no justification for a second army, I inexplicably find myself wanting them even though I have so much DG to paint still. I just really like the idea of representing the Chaos Gods without actually playing Chaos Daemons.

Im in the same boat, and would be interested to hear people's thoughts as well. My last opponent whined about Magnus getting nerfed incessantly, but beyond that ive heard nothing about how the new book is shaping up.

Thousand Son Sorcerers are incredible psychic beatsticks that devastate opponents, particularly high toughness, low wound/model units. Grab a sorc in terminator armor , give him high magister and the chaos familiar upgrade, and use cabalistic focus to infernal gateway entire swaths of enemies off the board at a time. Alternatively, you can summon 30 model packs of pink horrors which gunk up the battlefield and put out a punishing amount of shots, especially if you consider flickering flames. If you want access to the widest amount of excellent spells, 1k is the way to go.

I have Death Guard as my main army (not that I play with any regularity) and while I have no justification for a second army, I inexplicably find myself wanting them even though I have so much DG to paint still. Just started toying around with a small force of Thousand Sons, they're a pretty fun force to mess around with. Tzaangors are hilariously good units, load them up with Psychic/Shaman/Mutalith buffs and watch them tear through pretty much anything you point them at. There's no real bad units, the unique stuff is alright at worst and the classic CSM toys they get access to aren't awkwardly jammed on like they were with Death Guard. The TSons' biggest problem right now is lacking the flavour we've been seeing from the most recent books. Their relics and strategiums are dull and they don't get subfaction rules which could have helped alleviate that. And while I don't personally play the min-max competitive style, from what I understand TSons took a blow from how Magnus changed between editions and the Smite nerfs.

I don't recall this but I was also pretty drunk on Long Island Iced Teas. That said - this is just a dumb model. If it had just had 2 boobs I would have used it for a Marilith Demon for D&D https://www.creaturecaster.com/products/lady-of-depravity However - I DID purchase this model - as a stand in for Belakor. Which I think is awesome... https://www.creaturecaster.com/products/lord-of-chaos Was great to see you though man. I'm glad we got to hang out quite a bit. I missed seeing Campbell there - I will likely come to NOVA in 2019 though. So maybe I will see him there

Ironically, the actual Thousand Sons dudes are supposedly pretty mediocre, and the strength of the book is in the characters and Tzaangors. In the sweet spot of "semi-competitive casual play" they seem like a fine book though. Honestly there's nothing really except the couple of remaining index armies and maybe Grey Knights which can't hang out in a casual environment and be a good time. Beerdeer posted:Needs more Shadowswords. I know this is a thread meme, but a fun point about Necrons is that they're actually the best-placed faction to deal with Shadowswords. Quantum Shielding is loving aces against something doing 2D6 damage since there's no "6 always fails" clause, so ironically enough something like a Doomsday Ark has a better chance of surviving than anything else does, and then a couple of those will have a good go at the Shadowsword in return.

About the same as the plastic Tartaros Termies, a bit taller due to the hats/leg poses. They're a lot skinnier and sparser on detail than their DG counterparts (besides the Sorcerer and their annoying cloak).

I was so bummed I couldn't make it, but life gets in the way. I'd been meaning to look up their daemons after we recorded but yeesh, all their female daemons are fodder for the unspiration thread. Some of those sculpts are pretty cool, but largely eclipsed by GW/FW efforts.
