What are those things in the little cupolas above the meltaguns supposed to be?

Realtalk, annoyingly small bits which are supposed to pin meltaguns in place so they can rotate freely. Fiddly to paint separately and constantly threaten to disappear into the floor.

I really need to stop browsing and bidding for 40k auctions for a while now.
On the plus side I've gotten more or less all the new models that I've wanted to paint. Including the RT Voidsmen and Aximillion. :woop:

Yeah someone locally is selling a land raider crusader NIB for $50 and I've looked at it several times today, thought about how nice it would be for my Deathwatch, but I decided it's not worth it. Too expensive pointswise anyway.

I've managed to get lucky and get most stuff for cheap, like the Farseer I mentioned earlier I grabbed for like half its usual retail price. The RT Crew was the most expensive one as of late but it feels like they're worth it and it'd probably still go under GW retail once they get released separately.

Now I just need to pick up my painting pace a little and clear my backlog. Still have a whole Krieger squad that I want to paint too and I just keep stacking more small models ahead of it.

EDIT: I generated the via file the mobile app and it didn't apply an extension to the file, for some reason. I had to rename the file to include the .rorz then re-upload it to that website. Goons are the best! Thanks for the link.

Double Edit: The name generator table makes the Kill Team book worth a purchase even if you're not going to play KT. My Plague Marine who I gave a Plague Spewer to is now named Pustus the Pestilent. Even if I pick and choose which names to use, there isn't a better combination.

That happened to me, unzip the rosz file (rename to .zip and unzip it) and try it with the .ros file you get.

Also if its random names, the Goon Warriors chapter has some good ones:

I'm thinking grabbing the RT box over the Tooth and Claw box after i discovered it only come with 5 intercessors. I realized I'd be paying for less stuff than I expected. At least RT comes with terrain as well as currently unique models.

Plus i'm hoping we'll see new Start Collecting boxes for the holidays that are SW with the upgrade kits built in.

Good look at the 2017 Thunderhawk. I had no idea it had clear resin for the canopy, that is a great change

I've got some Citadel paints I bought years ago, and so as far as I can tell they are indistinguishable from the current range. However, upon breaking the seal I found several had congealed into a mostly solid mass. Do Citadel paints just go bad at some point, even when left unopened? How do I keep them liquid once the seal has been broken?

On opened citadel pots make sure the lip is kept fairly clean and that they're fully closed. Add water if they're getting thick. Or just transfer to dropper bottles.

It's virtually impossible to keep the lips clean by the way they've been designed. The old hex bottles were the best they've ever done and they refuse to return to that design :(

Well the arms are moveable and I'm happy to glue them but due to their design I'm not sure the best spot or type of glue to use.

How do I keep them liquid once the seal has been broken?

To kinda answer this and piggy back my own question: I brought back a lot of my ancient Citadel paints (some even the really really old black screw-tops from 3rd edition start painting set) with just water and a stir followed by a good shake. I also went out and bought some acrylic medium (not Citadel) which is a little more expensive than water but does the job even better.

The exception is two white paints which ironically are the current generation (White Scar and Ceramic) which I bought second hand froma guy who was selling stock from a closed game store a couple of months ago. Both were completely solid and separated from their bluish medium. On stirring, they just became crumbly, and are still pretty lumpy even after adding medium, stirring more, and shaking for ages.

Are white paints just more susceptible to getting permanently hosed by long term storage? Other colours, even those like 10 years older seemed to just be a little thick. But the whites seemed to have gotten so hard as to be unrecoverable in a fraction of the time. Or maybe is there some step I'm missing?
