He painted them crazy quick too. My sallies were a 2.5 month project and the scars make me look like a slowpoke.

I really like the style of what you've done with these. It's distinct and unique from what Hixson did. They look like they worn in and heat blasted. Do you have any troops painted in the style?

Thanks! His models were some of my inspiration to finally take the plunge and try it out for myself. I have a few squads half done, but no more decent photos than what I posted a few pages back. I'm setting goals to get squads done once a week or so.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm really proud of how these turn out and looking forward to making more/actually playing some games of 30k this year (hopefully).

Those are seekers! I like the shapeways combi-weapons better than the FW design. It really emphasizes the killier of the two options, hiding the bolter on the bottom.

It really gets across how you could arguably fire them more than once as they look like a full plasma gun.

The SA 30k crew will be running some Zone Mortalis table(s). Should be pretty easy to spot them.

Thanks man. Reaver legs are a gigantic pain in the rear end to put together and my dumb rear end just picked up a second one. I don't get it, the Warhounds are short and simple, the Warlords are cleverly designed and a lot of fun to build. The Reaver has 17 pieces for each leg that need to line up in a limited number of ways with no pegs to hold them in place and chunky pistons that easily get in the way of the armor plates, but that only becomes apparent after you've built the whole thing.

E: oh and it's very easy to get the shins around the wrong way (the aquila is modeled on the back of them for some reason) and there are distinct left and right feet that are very easy to miss.

LVO 2019 Trip Report

Pros: Zone Mortalis rules and everyone should play it. Average painting quality just straight dunking on anything else in the building.

Cons: It makes me sad to think that many LVO attendees did not have the courage to go watch Horsies at Excalibur in the presence of the Warmaster himself. My pity for these lost souls is the only imperfection on the weekend.

A three-hundred thousand degree baptism by nuclear fire;
we had it coming.
Pros - disrupting Horsies, promoting the heel, telling the prince of whatever he was to pound sand, drinking 7-8 drinks during the course of a 90 minute show, terrorizing the strip.

Cons - I have to work in 52 hours.

The fact we drowned out the ceremony where the prince gets knighted or whatever is probably our finest hour.

Give me a rifle, one round, and point me at Berlin!
I actually played HH on Friday. Zone Mortalis, 1250 pts, DG vs. Custoads, I'm an idiot, etc.

Things I learned not to do:
Don't let get Cortus charged by the Custoadread.
Don't position Grave Wardens in a way they can't unleash fire with all their grenade launchers.
Don't get charged by Custoadread, thus preventing DEATH CLOUD overwatch vs. regular dudes.
Don't charge Custoadred with bikes, hoping to survive to do I1 melta bomb.
Remember that there's a high chance you'll get overwatched at full BS in ZM.

Overall, I had fun not killing any of the enemies. My paragon rolled two trash Warlord Traits. My meltas did not want to appear on the table.

10/10, would do again, but maybe less idiotically.

New FAQ is up. Summary of cool bits:

quote:

So battle automata don’t get legion rules anymore just a list of specific benefits.

Palatine Blades can all get arty armour for 10 pts which makes sense. Jump packs 5 pts cheaper. Some power weapon options cheaper.

Phalanx warders get +1 WS when 3 or more are present. Drop in points from 255 to 190. 12 vs 15 pts for additional marines and power axes are now 5 pts vs 10.

Wow Ashen Circle axe rake +1 S and AP 3. Nice. 145 pts now instead of 175. Axes also add +1 to initiative for sweeping advances and chaplains can now join the unit. 15 pts for additional marines vs 20.

Immortals drop 45 pts and now regular shoot instead of SS on fleeing units.

For space wolves Warriors Mettle can apply to apothecaries that join the unit.

Destroyers down from 150 points to 105. 5 pts less for extra marines. 5 point less on special weapon ranged options. Only 5 pts per model for him packs vs flat 75 for whole unit. Hardened armor base. Plus new weapon options coming in book 8.

Magnus 175 points to use his mega physic power and no more strenth D max strength 10. He can also cancel one perils anywhere on table once per game.

Acastus Porphyrion bumped up to 560 pts vs 495.

Also my WiP Solar Auxilia Arvus Lighters
