EvilBeard posted:It's not that bad. If you have questions, just ask. Protip, don't put any of the armor plating on it until you've painted everything.  Thankfully I watched Duncan's knight video and got tipped off to that from multiple sources. Coming along okay and the engineering seems a lot better than the Land Raider which is the next biggest model I've done. So related, I really like the paint scheme of the Renegade Knight in the Renegade box set, but there's no paint scheme for the Litany of Destruction like there is for the Taranis knight. Did they release a guide for this guy on the community site or anything so I don't have to eyeball and reverse engineer?  EDIT: They did! https://www.warhammer-community.com/2016/10/30/paint-splatter-litany-of-destruction/ mango sentinel fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Jul 12, 2018 |

I haven't done any digging on that, as I did Raven and Tanaris before doing one just willy nilly. Another thing I'd recommend is magnetizing it to the base. I makes transporting and storing it much easier.

Astraeus painting update: I have completed the repulsor plates, thrusters, void shield generators, and the base. I have begun basecoats on the turrets, sponsons, and engine cowling. I have to paint it separately like this because the main body of the tank takes up my whole workspace! Looking to get this thing done by the end of the month, Emperor help me.

BigRed0427 posted:So me and my girl are talking about this. Should we get Necromunda over Killteam? If you're looking for a gateway into 40k, I'd say Kill Team. Especially if it's just the two of you and you're starting out. It would be easy to start there with a box or two and grow your forces (if you wanted to). If you're looking for more of an expanded narrative, Necromunda. Necromunda can be played really simply, but it can also require a lot of terrain, extra models, etc. depending on the scenario. It's going to be more involved and would benefit from a larger group though a two-person Underhive campaign is definitely doable.

Necro's great, but I'd wait for the last plasic gangs to come out and for them to do a book collecting all the rules together.

I wish they'd give us a rough idea of how many dudes you're expected to use. I already have roughly 12 Cadians from my Shadow War Armageddon team, but if Tyranids can have multiple Lictors, I might need eleventy billion of the fuckers.

Schadenboner posted:I guess I still don't see why Ogryns are out and 'Nid Warriors are in (although I 100% get why Genestealers and Lictors are). Ogryns are enormous murdertrains with no brakes to which Warriors are mewling newborn pups. I think SM don't get terminators for similar reasons, regardless of how mediocre they are on the larger battlefield. I don't think any faction will land 2+ saves.

They get two whole units, huh? And neither of them are Mandrakes, because who would send beings of shadow on a stealth mission?

Mandrakes were never on the table, just like every kit that isn't plastic. Sucks thematically but that's the stated caveat. Shame that there's no Wracks or at least a Hellion or something to mix it up, though. Ultimately it's no different to the basic formula of generic troops that get character through their wargear and weaponry I guess

They're both the Good Resin afaik, but yeah they're both webstore exclusive resin kits. I've got a kabal focused DE army and was hoping for a reason to buy some Wracks so this is a bit of a disappointment.

I wonder if this is a matter of weapon option numbers -- like, armies where the individual units tend to get more options tend to get fewer allowed units -- or a matter of page signatures, where they ran up against a limit of how many datasheets they can put in the book before they have to boost the book size by twenty more pages, and made some cuts.

Given the scale of Kill Team and the importance they're placing on lots of complicated terrain, there's no way they'll let anyone bring anything that can Fly. No Assault Marines, no Gargoyles, no Jetbikes, and no Hellions.

This is a general question, but what is the minimum range you find to be "good" for weapons? I think 24" seems like a decent cutoff because it can shoot over 2 turns against stuff coming to charge it. Plus 24" can reach decently across the table against other shooty units.
