Discordant is absolutely gorgeous and he fits the theme of my planned army to a T. Pair him with a MoP and just march a column of daemon engines down the field.Sab669 posted:I guess this is where sub-assembly painting comes into play, but yea painting / assembling that beast looks awful. Honestly the only sub I plan is keeping the rider and beast separate, the rest shouldn't be too terrible. It at least doesn't match the Heldrake is terms of "why did I use plastic glue on this"

Goddamn it. I wanted to avoid getting pulled back into CSM, but there’s no way I can escape that model. Such a wonderful buff/debug for vehicles too, man.

Sab669 posted:I guess this is where sub-assembly painting comes into play, but yea painting / assembling that beast looks awful. Painting it doesn't look too bad to me, but sub-assembly and painting individual parts is a good idea. It looks to be mostly a lot of abandon black and balthasar gold for its paint. Very straight forward to paint and it would probably be far more interesting to just use your own color scheme. The highlighting looks like a painful amount of work though. This dude does look awesome, but I don't think I would want to buy it, I'm afraid I would just ruin the model somehow.

If you prime in retributor and fill in in black, you don't have to do so many delicate bits. You can shade the gold to the tone you like and then just build up the big solid black bits. Very helpful for rubric marines, the same technique would do well here.

I wasn't necessarily sold on the Forgefiend and Heldrake daemon-engine look when they dropped but these new releases are fuckin cool and the new CSM have a ton more character than the non-Chosen spiky marines have had in like two decades.

Whoever was asking about the finecast Heavy Destroyer kit: it's loving bullshit. I bought one from the website and the 3" long railgun was all wavy. Everyone said "just soak it in hot water and straighten it" bullshit in 2019. A squad of 6 destroyers is better anyways against everything under T7, shoot anything tougher with a Doomsday Ark

Put it on your counter or desk with someone pressed against it (or do it with your hands) until cooled. Almost every Necron character is finecast, plus Tesseract arks and stuff from FW, obviously, so you should just get comfortable doing it before you get any named characters with staves.

What are the biggest differences between casting plastic and resin from a manufacturing standpoint? Is it mostly that your plastic mold has to be able to deal with really high temps and your resin one doesn't?

Resin is poured under room temp.

Your plastic mold is CNCed out of steel and costs tens of thousands and is used in a fancy expensive machine. Your resin mold is made out of silicone, costs $10, and can be made and used by hand or with nothing more than maybe a centrifuge and vacuum chamber.

Though I don't have any clue what sort of resin they use/used for finecast, in my experience any given resin will cure around 90% of the way in a given time. That last 10% will take an additional twice as long. Having straightened my way through more finecast Necrons than I care to recall, I imagine the warping is at least partially due to GW considering that 90% to be good enough and quick enough.

I haven't even tried to unfuck my Cryptek yet. Gonna go with the kitbashed heavy destroyer using Immortal parts.

I'm still not sure if I buy the "plastic molds are way too expensive for GW to update sculpts" since they do limited run plastic Space Marine minis frequently.

Pretty much all limited run miniatures are in resin. I'm struggling to think of one over the past few years that wasn't.

The water is Vallejo still water with a little sotek green mixed in, then use an overloaded drybrush of white scar ensuring that the streaks of foam are perpendicular to the coast. The plants are the GW ones painted castellan/straken/waagh flesh followed by athonian camoshade, drybrushed with ogryn camo.

What size base do you guys think the Discordant is on? I think the size of the thing is deceptive - it's definitely smaller than its presence makes it appear in pictures.

Yeah 12 is a solid standard for a lot of large models, maybe 14. Less would be doubtful (especially under 10, for character targeting).
