Corrode posted:Alpha Legion cultists still exist. I have no idea why people think screening is less important now, there's still tons of things it matters against. I’m at this point where I’d prefer Intercessors for a screen with a dash of scouts in scenarios where my deployment zone has little depth.

Prime Halfords Black Base Leadbelcher spray Wash Nuln oil diluted 50:50 with Vallejo Thinner medium Drybrush VMA Steel Pick out details with VMC Copper and VMA steel Wash Agrax Earthshade diluted 50:50 with Thinner Drybrush VMA steel over Copper areas and any other bits which have been dulled too much by the second wash. Weather metal areas selectively with heavily thinned VMC Orange-brown and copper areas with Nihlalkh oxide.

So who’s going to LGT? I’ve seen a few folk posting ITT and others about it. Is there already, or should we make a goonmeet thread about it? I’m there for Blood Bowl and Shadespire but it would be wicked to meet some of the other hamgoons.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Awesome, thanks. That looks like a perfect way to quickly get my robots painted. I've updated the original post with how I did the weathering on the metal. It's surprising easy, and I really like the VMA Steel - highly recommended. I just bought the Leadbelcher spray and realise that GW wasn't overselling it when they recommend it for basecoating everything metal. It really is excellent.

Anyway, here's what I'm working on for my death guard. It's pretty unfocused at the moment. Batt: Typus Malignant Plaguecaster 2x7 plague marines with power fist, 2 plasmaguns, blight launcher 14 poxwalkers 11 cultists with autoguns and heavy stubber 5 possessed with icon of despair Tallyman Rhino with extra combi bolter Outrider: Flying daemon prince 2x bloat drones with plaguespitters 3x blight haulers 70 pts left over to summon a Poxbringer to buff the possessed/prince/daemon engines.

Booley posted:I cannot wait to see what you do with your custodes. Are you going for the normal gold scheme or something more interesting? I'm thinking of going with the Warders scheme and dark armour, except using dark purple instead of black. Similar to what I did on this Kingdom Death mini:  Edit: ^^^ I saw Booley's comment about his White Custodes, it's beautiful but I'm not mad enough to do it! It's only easy on the Armiger since it's super grimy and weathered and the white's intentionally blotchy. Doing crisp clean whites is a lot more troublesome.

Played 1250 of my Imperial Fists vs some Space Wolves today. I had a 1500 list, but my opponent only had 1250 so I slapped a quick list together. My opponent on the other hand, brought a repulsor with 5 intercessors in it, some character on a wolf, a captain, the wolf version of a lieutenant, and the Space Wolves flying transport, whatever the hell that's called. Anyway, he just advanced slowly as a big bubble of re-rolled 1's and turn 1 nuked my Ironclad dreadnought. That made me mad. Then he one-shotted my landspeeder, which I didn't want to bring tbh, but I didn't know his army till he put it on the board, and I wanted a bit of mobility. Also I had points to fill in a hurry and not all my stuff in my car. Anyway, I dropped orbital bombardment on his little aura bubble and softened up his 4 model death star coming at me, before using flakk missile and hellfire shells to shoot his flyer down, which exploded and killed his lieutenant equivalent and wounded his other characters, killing 2 choppy guys inside. His repulsor lasted one more turn before devastators hosed its poo poo up as well. My aggressors, snipers and Lysander mopped up the rest. It was a lovely day.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:Excellent work. Would you mind walking me through how you painted the base? I really like the contrast of the grey and brown. Rocks and gravel were basecoated VMC Dark Grey. The rest of the base was basecoated VMC Black-Brown and then covered in Agrellan Earth. When dry, the entire base was washed with Seraphim Sepia and Agrax Earthshade - Apply these in blotches across the entire base, not mixed together. Then drybrush everything with VMC Dark Sand building to VMC Pale Sand in the brown areas and VMC Basalt Grey to VMC Deck Tan in the grey areas. The brown and grey highlight colours can be applied to either area depending on how brown/grey you want the overall base to be. Z the IVth fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Apr 22, 2018 |

Schadenboner posted:Of GW's questionable design shibboleths the "Inside vehicles and bunkers represents some sort of Tardisian null-space where rules no longer apply" is one of the dumber ones. I want to use my Tidewall shieldline with 10 fire warriors and a fireblade. But this lovely null zone keeps it off the field.

Random question about Tyranids; Psychic Scream states "If manifested, the nearest enemy unit within 18" suffers D3 mortal wounds." Can this be used by a Tyranid psyker to "target" an enemy unit that is in melee combat by having them be the closest unit?

Yup! It also works when the psyker is in combat.

I can check the codex later. Also hit gently caress that’s a gorgeous color scheme. A lot of drukhari armies make their hues waaaay to dark so it ends up looking muddied. This is nice. Archons and Incubi in particular look great. I just can’t hecking decide on a color scheme for my army!

Not to mention the fact that it was all the old models- DE didn't get the new range until 5th. Also, other Mango, if you're interested in them they did a painting tip just a few weeks ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLapgsM5U8c

So I’ve got a 1500pt tournament coming up that’s using the new FAQ. I’ve got the majority of the list done, but I’m trying to decide where to put the last of my points. Currently list is Hive Fleet Kraken with the following: Battalion 2x Flyrant (AG, Devourers, and MRC) 3x 10x Termagant 2x Exocrine Battalion Flyrant (AG, Devourers, and MRC) Malanthrope 3x 10x Termagant This clocks in at 1439pts, leaving me 61 to play with. Do I: A) Add a unit of Gargoyles as a harasser/disruption unit B) Add a Lictor as a harasser/disruption unit and spend the spare points on more gaunts C) Bulk up the Termagant units by 15 models D) (Write your own option here)
