I know painting everything one way is lovely cause you can't tell the different clans/legions/whatever apart, but I kinda want a consistent color scheme to my army. So, would something like painting the rims of the bases different colors be okay (or the full bases themselves, I don't really care), or should I just stick to one Clan for the entire Army? Different colored rims is more effort than most players put in, frankly. Unless you're playing in a top tier tournament, you'll end up facing armies that aren't fully painted, much less distinguished that way within the army. Set your expectations low on how much the Play side of the Play v Paint 40k spectrum cares about painting. Which isn't to say that you shouldn't make the effort. By all means, it shows you're a more conscientious player than most. Just don't be shocked when your beautiful well painted dudes find themselves matched up against bare plastic and metal.

Something like this from thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2071698 I want to be able to adjust different squad sizes and special weapon combinations and still tell the groups apart for the rules. I'm kinda surprised GW doesn't sell something for this purpose. edit: Somewhere I saw a really cool printable set that was designed to be magnetized and had a connector piece to easily group units together.

If you have no way to differentiate visually based off of the model, you can buy cheap coloured hair elastics and hang them off the weapons if it's a problem.

Broken Record Talk posted:Was a fluff reason given for Havocs increasing to T5? Seems like a kind of odd choice to me. Had to have something to make up for the lack of cherub. Move and shoot probably would have been fine, but they were somewhat worse than devastators before. Terminators or warp talons or something at t5 would have made more sense, but at least this makes havocs worth taking. Hopefully they take this as a model for "if we can't have Primaris CSM, they can get +1T instead" DG players will want something other than a 5+++ then, but really, move and shoot heavy, t5, 5+++ is probably fine at their point cost anyway

Thanks for the reassurance, guys. I kinda felt weird, fluff-wise, dividing my army into different subfactions, even if it's necessary to min-max the gameplay. I saw things like those colored rim-clips for tabletop RPGs before, that's why I thought of painting the rims of the bases. Plus I figured, if I'm going to experiment with different lists and stuff, I'd rather repaint all the bases different colors than repainting the actual models (or buying more).

If they snuck in the whole CSM range becoming T5 that would go a long way to help, otherwise only having Havocs at T5 is an odd buff. Not that I mind, just a weird design choice. Make all CSM T5 to account for living through 10,000+ years of warp terrors. Then make DG T6

Just thinking about this because way back when I built a ton of 30k marines with bolters and chainswords, what PA units have that option anymore? I know there's Chaos Chosen. Probably something Wolves have. Death Company?

Had another game using my Black legion, ran most as Mark of Slannesh in honour of new the releases. 'Slannesh Patrol' took some heavy loses though. After their perfect and sublime engagement with Imperial guard forces, the Space wolves '13th Company' moved in to combat them. Sadly the Daemon Prince Warlord 'Ozebawn' was banished back to the warp early when a group of Wulfen with Thunder hammers bitched out and would not try some of his Elixer/ 'bag of assorted powders' (some people need to live a little?) The original 'Slannesh patrol' 20 man CSM unit managed to power through and survive (though only a five solid members managed to keep the buzz going to the end). It helped that they had a chaos sorcerer giving them that good Slannesh Psychic power goodness, helped with the FNP. Sadly said sorcerer 'dealer' met the business end of a power fist (not in a good way, but in a murder kind of way) Sadly though, the Space Wolves kept killing the buzz and won with a VP score of 15-12. My undivided warpsmith, sick of all the party boys bull crap, actually got some work done and murdered the Wolf Lord. Sick of all the Slanneshy marines talking shite (being the only sober one at the party) he then grabbed his Defiler and a near by unit of oblits and havocs, and escaped to fight another day. Top moment: Murderfang met the business end of a pair of Defiler claws.

If I get some new chaos marines and paint them Nightlords will they gel ok with my DG and Tsons? Basically there's nothing stopping me running three detachments in a 2000 point game right? I think it will be fun having anvil nurgle dudes and then wizards and psychos delivering pain. Mainly they are and have been fun to paint and I think they'll look cool on the table as long as they can ride together (and without a doubt die together and lose).

So for the first time in several years I started painting again, and decided to start with one marine to see how much I had lost. It's better than I thought it would be but still not awesome- it's been a while and I'm trying to figure out what exactly the color scheme needs. It feels like it's missing something to make it pop. Could it be too much silver, or not enough shading on it? . I tried shading the recesses with a light glaze of blue, but it doesn't seem to have worked out as well as I thought. The bone was definitely not what I was trying for, but I think I finally figured how to do bone again. The red needs some more work, if it isn't the silver could it be that it needs to be darker in the recesses? I was trying for Word Bearers if it helps. The basing experiment with a blue glow from below the cracked earth didn't pan out as well either. Does anyone have any pointers?

I like him, but if you want to make it pop, I'd highlight the power armor a little (pauldrons, top of the pack, gauntlets) to make the red stand out then see how you feel. The base may need more gel to give to extra depth in the cracks if you want the blue to show through. Most of us swear by Vallejo basing products, and their cracked earth really looks like mud flats

So I am wondering how should I expand my Primaris Deathwatch next. Here's what I have now: Watch Master Primaris Captain 15 Intercessors (3 Sergeants with power swords) 3 Aggressors 5 Hellblasters 3 Plasma Inceptors I'm working on four assassins and then probably doing 5 more Hellblasters along with magnetizing the Sergeants for power fists. What should I work on next? I had a few ideas, and I have the models for everything below but the third Librarian: Get another 5 Hellblasters so I can field 3 Fortis Kill Teams. Build three Primaris Librarians (two regular, one Phobos) for a Supreme Command detachment. DA and Space Wolves have some powers that dovetail really well with the Phobos powers. Build a few more Primaris Captains using the 35th Anniversary Sergeant and the Store Anniversary Captain. Redemptor Dreadnought. Make a Rusty 17 as the foundation for AdMech. Paint the 9 Aggressors and 3 more Inceptors because I hate myself. Work on the Phobos units in the hopes of DW getting them, or as a separate detachment. ... Jesus that's a lot of gray plastic.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:So I am wondering how should I expand my Primaris Deathwatch next. Come on, aggressors aren't that bad to paint. Nice big armor panels that make edge highlighting straightforward. Myself, I've got a gravis captain basecoated and washed, so a few more hours and he'll be done. Hopefully by then my copy of Shadowspear will have arrived, and I can start converting the Supressors to look less silly and paint them. After that I think I'll take a break from red and cream and get some spiky bois going for a change of pace. Then maybe my redemptor. Maybe also do this? I very much think Deathwatch will get the Phobos guys once the multipart kits come out.
