These look great. I started AdMech this year too, my first 40k army. It's taken me twice as long to paint my dudes though. Hoping to get a few models finished before the end of the year before I post up the whole army. I have 5 vanguard and 5 infiltrators left that are half painted, plus 4 Kastelans that are assembled/primed.

But right now, my priority is getting my knights finished. That means painting and assembling the Valiant, finishing the two Helverins, and painting/assembling the last Warglaive. Then, at some time in the future, re-painting the first Warglaive.

The necron glowsticks would be 100% better if they didn’t always have that little air bubble in the middle.

What necrons really need is like a light pipe from the base so you could put little LEDs under the base and have them glow green from the inside without tons of modifications I like the glowsticks personally

Those always drove me nuts. Also in general I think necron warriors and immortals both need to have further de facto point reductions. The only way the faction gimmick of RP kind of works is with big unit blobs, so gotta make them infantry bois cheaper.

Does anyone here have a recommendation for a hard sided miniatures case? I've been expanding my GSC kill team and am building up an army. So far the only ones Im seeing are the Citadel official ones and some ones intended for magnetized bases. Im a little wary of doing the magnetized option since I've been using the sector mechanicus bases that dont have a ton of clearance underneath due to the way the plastic is sculpted so Im not sure how easy it would be to reliably get a big enough magnet under them. The citadel case looks sturdy but Ive read some people saying that it doesnt work well if you dont have it 100% packed which isnt ideal since Im growing the army slowly. Right now pretty much the only things that would go in the big model section would be the patriarch and the goliath I'm working on. Does anyone here use it and have thoughts on if its a good buy? Are there others I should look for? Having a hard case is important because I have cats that love to sleep on any sort of bag and so they'll probably do their best to destroy it.

To add to the newbie Post Your Models, this is my first model ever. Painted this old dude to see what it was like before painting a modern boy. Hopefully my kids will let me get some more painting time, and I'll have more to share by the end of the year.  Also, are those 30k Thousand Sons painted blue? They're great. I always liked the idea of T Sons, but was on the fence about the headdresses. Would there be any issues using them for 40k?

I'm Posting My Models even though all the photo's are poo poo because I haven't set up a lightbox yet. My most recent, a before and after "restoration" job:  Before AfterI also painted some Neophytes for my GSC kill team. Icon Bearer  Neophyte Gunner w/ Flamer  My Leader  Group photo:  Some ork boyz I did:  A 2nd Ed ork that is my Leader Gretchin:  I also did 10 Grey Knights for Kill Team. They're even based!  There's more but I hate the photo's and don't feel like re-taking them. I didn't get as much painting done this year as I wanted because turns out being unemployed for 8 months is insanely draining mentally and emotionally

To go with the current theme I am looking back through what I have done this year, all in chronological order: Tyranids, mostly done in the spring with the exception of the gargoyles to clear the backlog recently:              Then over the summer I did some Tau:             For shits-n-giggles I did a couple of death guard (and their buddy):  Recently I have been doing orks, I am expecting to get another 2-3 units done this year:        I guess I have painted ~3000-4000 points.

Holy poo poo y'all are some productive motherfuckers I've been distracted by work but all of the Chapter Approved charts are done for all the Codex entries. I'll start work on the Forgeworld ones over the weekend. -> Get all the spreadsheet goodness here <- As always lemme know any gently caress ups and I'll correct them. I've annotated the gallery with version numbers and dates to try and keep a better track of this mess.

Finished assembling all of my Skitarii from the start collecting box and man, AdMech weapons are so drat cool. All of the (non-vehicular) phosphor stuff being weird revolvers owns. (I'm trying to mount these guys on finished bases so it looks like they're actually walking on top of ground rather than slogging through mud like my DG, hence the various success at standing upright.) Even split of Vanguard and Rangers so that when they're not all mashed into a Kill Team they can be broken into two squads for 40k (although probably not ideally armed.) Just to confirm, nothing else has come out about CA and changes to Stygies VIII's dogma, right? Now I need to buy a pin vise so I can magnetize the Dunecrawler when I assemble it...and also I split a Forgebane box with my friend so I'll probably magnetize the Armigers too and ah gently caress I'm already down the rabbit hole again. EDIT: Also I only just noticed tonight that Sicarian Infiltrators have 2 wounds each so def gotta get some for the Kill Team.

Conversions are illegal, but I can't see anybody complaining if you play TSons but use normal marine heads instead of rubric heads. It'll make it harder to differentiate them from normal chaos marines, but the new sculpts have some cool details. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Dec 15, 2018 |

Side note - I got the fancy copy of CA2018 because I like the counters and mission sheets. It also came with a pile of cool sisters stuff. Data sheets and stratagem/WL traits.  Does any Sisters playing goon want them for a song before I chuck them on eBay? (I’m in the UK)

I just ordered some tiny brushes (the smallest I had was a 2) and a stand with a magnifying glass (because my eyesight is poo poo). I have a bunch of Death Guard primed and based but I haven't gotten to the next stages, some because I'm waiting to go to the GW store and pick up a new color or two. I'm gonna post my dudes here. Even though I'm a newbie, I'd like to get some feedback. Even rear end in a top hat feedback is welcome because I literally have no clue what I'm doing. I'm just throwing paint on figures until I think they look cool.

Just been flicking through CA2018. Looted Wagons seem pretty cool but I wish they'd included Matched Play rules for them, they don't seem that unbalanced. OTOH Custom Characters could potentially have some sick combos. Also WTF are GW thinking with Gore Hounds? For 9 extra points you get an Assault 1 Flamer. Considering actual Flamers had their price lowered to 6 in the same book that's hella stupid. Should have been max 2 or 3 points, or preferably free like the Blissbringer.

Well nuts this is disappointing, Sister characters lost eviserators, Priests can't take em either, hell Priests lost all their customization actually. My poor plasma Priest who kills himself for the Emperor every game is now forced to live and be somewhat useful for longer. I'm happy we can now take all the Ecclesiarchy stuff without playing with detachments but it's confusing that Crusaders and Archo-flagellants don't take up an elite spot if you have a Priest in your army, is that bonus or a buff? Makes Vangaurd detatchnents a bit harder to make I guess.
