On looking at the FAQ, he also didn’t discard the lowest dice when using Psychic channelling. Yeah it was the first place my mind went because I remembered GK players crowing about it for about two weeks before GW went "uh gently caress no" and FAQed it. The only 2++ in the game right now are the Ogryn Bodyguards, Bullgryns with brute shields, and Shadowfields.

Arven posted:Yeah uh, I have been frantically googling it all morning now too. Can I get the same effect with gloss varnish? Ok so I’m going to assume Frobbe was referring to sealing and applying spirits to allow a wash to flow better through a recess. I already do this, except with acrylic washes. After I airbrush the last coat of white I varnish the model with a semi gloss coat to seal it. The wash I use is a 4:1 or so mix of Nuln and Nightshade, then a little water and flow improved in it. Yep same concept mostly works in that you touch the brush into the recesses and the ink just kinda flows off the brush... however this doesn’t always work. First, you don’t have full control always on the flow, and what happens is the ink will sometimes try to go into places you don’t want it to. Second, my shade level depends on the angle of the crevice. For example for a plate joint or the shoulder pad trim it’s heavy, however for the helmets and fingers it is lighter which brings out more of the blue just like a shadow on white would naturally do.

OhDearGodNo posted:Ok so I’m going to assume Frobbe was referring to sealing and applying spirits to allow a wash to flow better through a recess. I don't know if frobbe meant to say oil washes, or if there's yet another washing technique with enamel paints. It's pretty much that technique, but with white spirits + oil paints, and it works really well because even if something does go where you don't want it to you can wipe it back off easily.

As a bad painter, varnish then oil wash was a great trick to learn as it's both easy and effective. If there's a different trick with enamel, I would also love to know it.

I'm just being stupid.

BuffaloChicken posted:Finally finished my Buffalo Chicken. Counts as a Chariot of Tzeentch in my Warpwoods jungle daemons army (it's moderate toughness, flies, shoots fire, and can slam things in close combat if need be). The pure white on the flames seems to have messed with the camera a bit - the final yellow highlights on the feathers are much more prominent in real life, not as muddled into the orange as they look here. This gal's looking great! What's the base model (I assume it's an AOS Stormcast thingy)?

I did a satin finish on a blood bowl thrower and it was too shiny for me, so YMMV. I think it would look better if the model was armored instead of skin and cloth.

Do you guys have any tips for cheaply producing melta and or plasma guns that work with Cadian models? I am worried the space marine ones might take too much work to get to fit together. I have finally settled on building an Astra Militarum kill team now that it has lowered the cost of entry into 40k and my local FLGS is pretty big on "what you see is what you get."

Enamel washes come in many forms. My favourite might not even be enamel because God knows what Tamiya puts in their paints. Applying a gloss varnish and using products such as Tamiya panel line accent color gives fast and quick results and any mistakes can be cleaned up using odourless thinner. https://youtu.be/ybJAFKQnYik have a gundam video that shows you the fundamentals. Basically what makes enamel washes, oil washes and whatever the gently caress Tamiya makes so cool is the ability to take it off after applying and moving it around, softening lines and other such cool things. Gundam nerds love it for this reason and so does traditional scale modelers. There are a ton of good videos on YouTube, mig Jimenez have some very educational stuff. Also, don't buy enamel paints, that's not what you want here.

Hit up Victoria, or Anvil Industries and just buy some. They're pretty cheap, although the shipping can be rough depending on where you are.

Forge world's hostile environment plasma guns used to be a decent deal, but they're 9 dollars a plasma gun now. The Marine plasma guns are about the right size compared to the command squad ones. But you'll need to do some fiddling to get them in hands. Sticking them in place of flamers might be easiest.

Ah sorry I completely forgot about some of the 3rd party sites, I was searching up and down for different bits packages and everything. Also I really like the look of the cadian Hostile environment guys but after the price hike it doesn't look worth it. Also thanks a ton!! I will post up a picture of my first painted model once I get it done.

Anvil Industries make good special weapons for Cadians and they're reasonably priced, assuming your FLGS tolerated 3rd party.

Also, with the shipping changes, I believe it's a flat $10 for the cheapest shipping within the US. So $12 per plasma gun.

Does anyone know if GW customer support is any good with missing packages? FedEx claims a delivered GW order that I never received (and I drunkenly ordered direct from geedubs so believe me I want my fuckin money's worth). I wasn't there day-of due to an unexpected family emergency but expected several packages during that time that my friend kindly picked up. All were safely at the door or in my apartment's lease office, including another GW paint order delivered, supposedly, two days later that my friend had grabbed as a birthday gift for me. And boy fedex is no help so far. If I got package-jacked then I hope the dirty thief chucks all the dumb toys instead of realizing he's easily got a few hundo on ebay. On the bright side I got a secondhand DI before that, so I can practice on the primaris dudes until this gets resolved and my new DG might have a decent paint job. Haven't touched a brush since fifth. Someone name a legion and I'll do a homebrew successor scheme and post it for critique?? Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Aug 27, 2018 |

Doing a marble effect for my goodie Knights.   https://instagram.com/p/Bm__ZwnjkxY/ It’s a Taranis Scheme (black/white shoulders etc) so debating blocking off one side and trying to do black on white marble to oppose the white on black marble or just leaving them as solid marble as is.

These are all so dang good. The perfect amount of metallic and non-metallic colors.Zark the Damned posted:This gal's looking great! What's the base model (I assume it's an AOS Stormcast thingy)?  Here's the model after the first round of sculpting - I used tinfoil and hot glue to fill the major holes, then greenstuffed over. The black paint helps me tell where bits need sanding, detail, etc.  The neck was too barren and the whole thing looked a bit pear-like, so I added the shaggy mane. Also helped with the "buffalo" part of the model's theme.  Next conversions are in progress and almost ready for primer. First is the Maulerfiend with lasher tendrils (Necrosphinx covered in flailing vines):  And then there's my Catachan Tank Commander with dreamy billowing hair and a messed-up right army, soon to be greenstuffed into an anatomically-correct position.  Finally, the counts-as missile launcher for my feral Freeblade Knight (a melta-crossbow just seems way cooler than the standard missiles).  the funky conversions never stop

eBay coup + birthday coming up + just got back from winning in Vegas = it's definitely Knight O'clock. I'm planning on getting a castellan and possibly some helverins to complement my (eventual) BA army. From those who are more familiar with the codex, how's hawkshroud play and would it work with a pretty melee focused BA army? I picked hawkshroud mostly because the colors and fluff go well with BA, but it would be dope if it's a strategically sound decision too.
