I played a Starship Troopers game like that at Historicon when I was a kid. It loving ruled but the tunnel system was a drawn map, so easier to play with than ZM tiles.

It’s part of a super secret patreon tutorial. But basically, let a baby wipe dry out, tear and stretch it a bit, pull it taut over the surface and use it as a stencil.

My 'ham wet dream will be playing simultaneous games of Adeptus Titanicus / Epic with a new Imperator model on one board, with a Killteam game of Skitarii tech guard defending the Imperator's upper level from assault troops armed with demolition charges. Start with turn 1 of the Kill team game, then turn 1 of AT and keep alternating. As the KT attackers achieve their objectives, the Imperator gradually loses carapace weapons or voids in the other game.

I don't mind folks hiding tutorials behind paywalls. They deserve compensation for producing a product. I also appreciate sharing the basic approach. I imagine the tutorial has a lot of useful information and explanation that would still make it worth paying for.

Sanctuary doesn't improve their saves beyond 3++, but they can use their Heed the Prognosticars stratagem to get +1 to their invuln rolls. So, if the model has a 3++ (via sanctuary or otherwise), it effectively becomes a 2++.

I'm not a fan of that line of thinking. You're only getting a 2++ with Sanctuary, so I'd say the Sanctuary bonus is discarded and you cap out at 2++.

4 + 1(sanc) + 1(strat) is the same order of operations as 4 + 1(strat) + 1(sanc). You're still using Sanctuary to improve the same to a 2++.

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.

Late to this party but there’s a world of difference between oil on a gloss coat and acrylic on a gloss coat- the whole point of using oil is that you’re using a non water soluble color on something that has been painted only with water soluble stuff up until that point, so capillary action is way more effective and you can simply buff out mistakes, either with pure friction or something like white spirit or isopropyl. Using acrylic wash defeats the purpose of the technique since it’s water soluble and will “bite” into the surface, since all the other layers of paint on the model at that point will also soften up when they get wet.

TLDR: You’re literally mixing your wash with a weak solvent (water in this case) that’s making it adhere better to the model and is the direct cause of things like “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.”

My real opinion is that who cares its GK and they need all the help they can get. However stacking is stacking so...

Sanctuary applies in the magic phase. The strat happens in something after that phase (probably).

Literally order of operations. Which does exist in this game because poo poo like the banner "shooting on a 4+" and yanarri are things.

How do you take that as being spoon fed? “Try enamel washing” with nothing else isn’t even close to informative. Spending time trying to find the right tutorial or video lacks the ability for feedback and can lead to mistakes or frustration.



Thanks for this- if I had just watched a few vids as I had before I wouldn’t have known that acrylic was soluble over a gloss coat.

I’m already done with the White Scars for the near future however will look into this the next time I need to do this effect.
