In the interest of the thread, you two now must post BA army and unit shots until a winner is decided. The winner is all of us.

One_Wing posted:Potentially a slight tweak on point 1 so that they can ignore units which had any models within 1” of any of their models at the start of the fall back move, so if your opponent has a second completely unengaged unit behind the one you’re in melee with you can’t go through that too. 1. Units can ignore models they were engaged with in the previous Fight phase when falling back. 2. Units that are engaged with a unit that is falling may attack as if it is the Fight phase, but only hit on unmodified rolls of six.

Booley obviously wins for having the prettiest models. I win for never shutting the gently caress up about how much I love playing Blood Angels and really to me that's the bigger factor in being a fanboy. Booley even posts more about playing his Fists these days Edit: Here's what I've finished this year and am reasonably happy with:     Edit 2: Major Spag posted:besides, both you and pendant have other armies besides BA so you're disqualified. The only other force I have that's even close to being an army is a pair of Knights. I do intend to start collecting Custodes here in a few weeks though which will probably be my second full army. I really dig spears and elite assault troops. Pendent fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Jun 20, 2018 |

The next game I play I'm going to put 10 naked death company, lemartes, and a DC talon dread in a stormraven. This is an 800 point bomb. It's not going to make it across the table is it.

Played Knights for the first time yesterday. Played Hawkshroud to keep from getting bracketed quickly. Played against Thousand Sons/Deathguard and lost a fairly close game. I can't do anything to control the mountains of smite damage. By the time I killed most of his psykers, I was down to two crippled Knights and he ended up smiting them to death. The second game was against guard. I seized and focus fired down his Shadowsword, making his Salamander useless. I stomped through the rest of his armor, and he conceded after turn 2. It was fun. I can't wait to play my big boys again.

Testing out some possible paint colors for my blood angels, any opinions on this? This is VMC silver with two coats of FW flame red ink. Still getting the hang of the airbrush so the coats are a little rough. In practice I'd try to keep the ink coats a bit thinner to get a tad more metallic look out of it. I'm also thinking about testing over gold, but my guess is that will come out too brown.

Pendent posted:Completely abstracting away the nuance to assault sounds miserable and boring, no thank you. I play an assault army because I've always found the shooting in 40k to be a little on the bland side and what you're proposing would just bring that blandness to the fun part of the game. The CP thing would be an issue if it wasn't so easy to add in an IG battalion to boost up your CP total, or use the warlord trait and relic to generate CP as the game goes on.

Somebody posted a knight upthread done like that and it was gorgeous, maybe Booley or Boone? Seeing that kind of red is the only thing that keeps making me waver about doing my BA successors a totally different, non-red scheme.

This helped me when I did my Farstriders in a colored metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9q35BPaBN0 It gives two different methods, both have their strengths and weaknesses.

I'm thinking of making my dudes Taranis. Hawkshroud is better overall but the mechanicus stratagems are better, FNP is amplified on models with tons of wounds, and it provides a small MW defense.

Mikey Purp posted:Oh yeah! Would you mind sharing how you achieved that gorgeous red from the knight in your avatar? He mentioned he used the process described in Imperial Armor: The Horus Heresy Vol 1, which I can describe: Paint underlying area silver, spray blue ink into the recesses to establish a shadow, go over the deepest recesses with green ink to establish a deeper shadow, then go over the whole thing with a candy red paint. (The green and blue interfere with the red to create a nice desaturated shadow.) ForgeWorld doesn't sell their transparent airbrush paints anymore, so your best bet is probably Badger Ghost Tints. I suspect the problem you're having with your method is that going over silver with red ink doesn't have the same effect as candy red paint, as the ink isn't in a gloss medium the way the candy paint is.

The blue and greens are also the clear airbrush paints, not inks. I haven't tried anything with the ghost tints, I think the Tamiya clear paints are probably the best bet.
