Safety Factor posted:Space Wolves players are the worst. What are they expecting? Dark Angels and Blood Angels didn't get any new models and they won't either. They're not going to just plop out Russ without a bunch of lead-up; we should figure on him showing up in a campaign book later. Space Wolf players need to have more reasonable expectations, but I realize they are the ur-grogs and nothing will be good enough. I have like 5000 points worth of space wolves and I am always happy. The pile on mentality when anything space wolves comes up is just as annoying/bad and I wish people would just chill the gently caress out and accept that we are adults playing with science fantasy dolls.

If he has lovely political opinions he's kept them to himself, and he's spoken openly about struggling with depression, which is a big plus in my book, as I have someone very close to me irl struggling with the same. Mad Max orks sounds rad as hell. Pretty plausible too, there's a mention of Orks doing death races to entertain themselves when they couldn't breach the cities on Vigilus according to the lore post about Tooth and Claw on the community site. Gonna start writing post-it notes with "Do not buy another 40k army!" so I can wallpaper my apartment with to hopefully control myself if this turns out to be true. Also yes to old man Odin Russ, telling current era space wolves to gently caress off with all this furry poo poo.

I’m using one of the gun platform crew guardians as my comms guy and either of those would probably work for medic too. Perhaps stick a spare wraithblade scattershield on the arm too or something.

Immediately upon returning in the fluff daemon Magnus gets his comeuppance and Primarch-wedgies him by breaking his back. He’s interred into a Dreadnought and thus becomes another walker model for wolves while also invalidating the uniqueness of Bjorn at the same time.

Surprised it took em this long honestly, but I guess they wanted something with less leadup time before an army getting expanded or redone I guess.

Assuming it took so long was because their schedule was rather jam packed and AOS2nd was the major focus for the majority of the year. I'd be tempted to get that Primaris Wolf guy and just paint him up as a Blood Raven since half of my guys are built from Space Wolf parts anyway. Even if by now I should just paint them as Wolves in either blue or grey but whatever. Still been meaning to find Björn's close combat arm for my dread.

 B-B-BATTLE REPORTS!I got in two games this past week, both for the campaign I'm running. I decided to do something different this round and rather than give players specific match-ups, I gave each player a card that details possible match-ups they can play, and the opponents they'd play them against. So for example, the AdMech player can play up to 4 games to earn campaign victory points this round: 1 against Tau, 1 against Chaos, and 2 against Necrons, for a total of 4 campaign VPs. Game 1: Wednesday Night, Black Legion vs. AdMech, 2,000 Points  After allying up with the Space Wolf forces on Paulus, the Adeptus Mechanicus of Magos Spindulus learned that the Black Legion forces on the planet had a member of the Dark Mechanicus in their employ (I used him back in the game where the Space Wolves recovered the relic). They were determined to strike out at this heretek and destroy his foul mechanical blasphemies. The Mission we played was Big Guns Never Tire, with one adjustment: Instead of points being scored for Heavy Support units killed, they were scored for destroying Vehicles and killing techpriests/warpsmiths. We also took fairly vehicle-heavy armies. The Highlights: Deployment, where my big bois are ready to rumble as I get first turn.  My Warlord, Apollyon the Warpsmith rolling deep with his Helbrute bros. The one in front got shot in the face on turn 1 but the one with the Power Scourge hosed up an Armiger pretty bad T1. Then it exploded thanks to an Admech strategem (with some re-roll help) and destroyed the helbrute and did another 10 mortal wounds on top of that to poo poo around it.  His cohort, Damarkos the Hellwright, rolling with his posse. Both Apollyon and Damarkos survived the encounter.  Knight Wrathflayer of House Malinax, who tore apart an armiger with its chainsword before wiping out three Kastellan Robots. Those things are the bane of my loving existence. In this game, no joke, at one point I shot them 6 times and had 5 of those shots reflected back at me as mortal wounds. RIP assholes. Here's Wrathflayer staring down Cawl, before facing down a hail of lascannon fire. The ancient knight rotated its ion shields, then failed every save and got shot full of holes.  We called the game on time since it was already 12:30. In the closing moments, I was unable to blow the Admech off the objective in front of me, leaving us tied at two apiece. Not so bad. Unfortunately, the Admech also had destroyed 5 vehicles to my 4, and scored First Blood, leaving me with a 12-10 loss. Ah, well. Chaos is eternal. Game 2: Saturday Ham Slams vs. T'au  The Tau have been running roughshod over Paulus, but need resources to fuel the war effort. Literally. They need prometheum, and capturing one of the main city's refineries is the best way to do it. Too bad the refinery they chose is also being claimed by Black Legion forces. The game was Cleanse and Control, 1,500 points, on the Sector Mechancius Battlezone (see: Chapter Approved 2017). The Highlights: Deployment. We're fighting over a prometheum refinery, which gives me a chance to use all of my painted shadow war terrain and I'm happy with the effect. I hold back raptors and terminators. he holds back Vespids, pathfinders, and a pair of crisis suit commanders.  Early on I charge in and get some good hits in with the Berserkers, but they get shot in the face right after. Ah well. I was going second but mercifully little happened on T1.  This guy was bad-rear end and showed up on Turn 2. Then I dropped behind him and killed him wiht a raptor meltagun.  The Terminators use grappling hooks (a strategem) to climb up the structure, wiping out the Stealth suits and breachers up there so they can capture the middle objective.  The Tau shoot my raptors and warlord up after falling back from combat, and as the game winds down the Tau player is left mostly holding his own objective.  My terminators and havocs hold firm, though and score me 6 Victory points. With First blood that gives me 7, compared to 7 for the Tau player. Chaos Win on Turn 6 as we fail to go another turn. Thoughts: - Forgefiends are rear end - So far, this campaign game allocation strategy seems to be working well. Wooo! - gently caress Kastellan robots - Sector Mechanicus terrain owns

Lots of people mad about space wolves tonight The preview specifically mentioned wulfen dreadnoughts, so if we are getting a new model it seems like that would be a good bet, otherwise I’m expecting mostly stuff like the primaris captain with a frost axe. It seems like they’re going to make this Vigilus campaign with genestealers and orcs a big deal so if Russ does come back I would bet it would be at the end of that storyline  I’m just glad to be getting a codex.

Painting question: One thing that perpetually troubles me is 'watermarking' when applying recess shading. When washing, obviously it's fine - You dump enough down that it pools where you want, and clean up afterward. However, I was casually watching Duncan paint White Scars armour, and I watched him getting recess/line shading and it pooling appropriately in the joints, but without leaving the 'watermark' you often get if you apply it even slightly off (and typically, you get a bit everywhere) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it6sAE-YBDc Am I missing a trick here? Despite painting my entire life, I've always avoided recess shading (because being old, I was brought up in the 'Just don't paint in there in the first place' school of Chestnut Ink) and I feel like there's some obvious smarts I'm unaware of. As I'm trying to paint white armour of course, it makes those watermarks even more stark and dirty looking, which I'm keen to avoid.

Are there any tournament-legal armies you can build that don't have a single on-foot model in it? Vinyl in discord mentioned that IG can do all Leman Russes, but is there anything else? I ask because I have a dream of, when the new models hit, playing an ork army that has nothing but vehicles in it. I guess all-transports and vehicles counts but it's not really what I'm going for. NO FOOTSLOGGERS.

You need the right consistency of paint, the right amount on the brush, the right brush, and accurate control. He's doing it effortlessly because he's Saint Duncan (I have touched his hand), and he did that every day for 8 hours a day. For years.

This should be barely visible once done. Then get a bit more shade on the brush and just touch the wet area you just made. So long as there isn't too much on the brush the shade should follow the path you just made for it and the colour will get stronger, while surface tension stops it running into other areas.
