Video ends with "Contrast". the line above the link says "Something big is coming for paint". As I said in the discord, big tins of shade called Contrast paint. They better do a Baharroth Blue variant otherwise i'm going full Vallejo (It'll turn out to be an airbrush after all)

I'm thinking it'll be some kind of primer / wash combo that pre-shades as it primes. Which seems chemically possible and pretty incredible if true.

A line of preprainted and assembled miniatures, the grey part comes from the morality of using sweatshop labor to make them.

My big takeaway from that video was “Oh, of course, that’s what they’re going to fill the space in the schedule between the Slaanesh models and whatever new thing (Vanguard multipose stuff) they’ll be revealing at Warhammer Fest with! The new painting solution product line, whatever that turns out to be!” Still guessing it’ll be an airbrush/spray gun; hoping it’ll be an airbrush and a rebranded re-release of the discontinued ForgeWorld paints. Probably wrong. Some sort of new dual-use primer-shade could be really cool. Stephenls fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Apr 23, 2019 |

The first video talked about shaming you for having lots of grey plastic. This one discusses the first benefit of the new product, contrast. The next one will talk about gradients or blends Then the one after that could be speed or consistency. So yeah, they're making a series of benefit videos for an airbrush.

I've never used an airbrush, and I've always wanted to ask: If you can do highlights with an airbrush, how do you know exactly where the nozzle is pointing before you start spraying? Some of the Skitarii I was highlighting yesterday have really small parts on them, and the highlights for those parts are smaller still. So if I'm aiming my airbrush nozzle at the model, how do I know that I won't spray the paint a millimetre or two higher than I want to? Do they come with laser pointers strapped to them?

With a double action airbrush you can control how much paint comes out. You start the air flowing by pushing down the trigger, then pull it back to add paint. With practice you can get a lot of control. You use this to lay down extremely thin translucent layers of paint that you gradually build up - it's sort of like drybrushing. If the paint isn't where you want it to be, move.

Booley posted:Practice Indeed; practice. For the first while using an airbrush you won’t know where the nozzle is pointing, and then eventually you’ll get a sense for it. Fortunately for the mini-painting-with-airbrushes hobby, as primates adapted to hunt by throwing rocks, human can develop pretty decent innate senses of aim.

How can you shade or contrast with it? If you rotate the model 90 degrees, you can gently apply a shade tone to the angle facing away from the 'light source' of the model with more gentle gradation than is possible with a paint brush. Ditto for contrast, being able to take a colour from its darkest point to its brightest in smooth, seamless transitions, creating extreme contrast.  I couldn't have done the glass in this Marauder's turret with a brush  They're also a wonderful way to get gradations down on lots of minis.

With practice you can get a lot of control. I find the sweet spot if I'm painting finer lines and lock the trigger in once I feel like it's right. Outside of that I just blast down my first three layers of primer, dark base then the main colour and start brush painting. If I'm doing a character I'll usually paint on my shades and highlights then spend ages making it a uniform gradient with a couple of very thin layers with the brush.

If you're expecting the Fire Warriors to be mobile I'd ditch the Markerlights on the Shas'uis. The marker drones with the squads are probably also better served in the drone squad and hanging out near a Broadside ,one of which could take a Drone Controller to make them more accurate, which is cheap enough that the three Markerlights dropped on the Shas'uis will still leave you enough for a Shield Generator on the other Broadside. If you go that route, the Shield Generator should definitely go on the Shas'ui and the Drone Controller on the Shas'vre.

How do people tend to run their techmarines? Do you ever give them the servoharness or conversion beamer, or just bare bones? Also, any input on the best model? I can't decide between the current 40k finecast, a MkIII/IV in case I ever decide to cross over into 30k, or bashing together an intercessor with a techpriest enginseer to make a primaris techmarine.

New Slaneesh stuff looks cool. Beefy, attacky, and fast movement! Neato. How does command point farming work with stuff that happens before battle? ex/ There's an ork warlord trait that reads: quote:If your Warlord is on the battlefield, roll a dice for each Command Point you spend when using Stratagems. On a 6+ that Command Point is immediately refunded. Then there's this stratagem: quote:1 CP Use this Stratagem before the battle. Select a GOFF BOYZ unit(excluding ’ARD BOYZ)from your army;that unit gains the SKARBOYZ keyword,and the Strength characteristic of models in that unit is changed to 5 I'm assuming "before the battle" here means after deployment but before the Turn1 begins? Because how else could a player designate a specific unit for the strategem upgrade? So assuming the warlord was deployed, the ork player would be allowed to roll for the CP refund... right?

I'm pretty sure it's before deployment, because "before the battle" is the same timing as warlord traits, relics, and psychic powers. As to how: you point to one of your mobs and day "these guys are going to be S5". It's not like your army is a mass of primordial plastic before they are placed on the table; the unit still exists.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:New Slaneesh stuff looks cool. Beefy, attacky, and fast movement! Neato. GW have annoyingly been not very explicit about how this works, but the way most people play it is: "When mustering your army" - must be declared on your list. This includes stuff like Death Visions of Sanguinius, and also specialist detachments like the Vigilus ones. "Before the battle" - you make the choice before the game technically begins. Whether this has to be on your list or not is an open question, but ITC treats it as being changeable game to game - this is stuff like WL traits, psychic powers, extra relics, etc. "During deployment" - during deployment phase. "At the start of the first battle round, before the first turn begins" - poo poo like Stygies VIII or Alpha Legion scout moves, which happen once the game is underway but before either player has an actual turn. You would only get to roll for the latter two situations, so Ard Boyz wouldn't be rollable but something like Victor of the Blood Games is.

A friend and I entered a painting contest at our local FLGS with a couple of those Space Marine Hero blind boxes. One thing led to another and I ended up splitting a box of Know No Fear with her. She took the Death Guard and I got the primaris marines. I'm not looking to go full ham yet and I want to put together a 500 pt list to play around with until I get a handle on the rules. Also I'm going to paint them up as Salamanders because I dig the color scheme. Any advice on getting chapter markings for my space barbies besides old transfers off of ebay? Also any general advice on things to fill out a 500pt list beyond what's included in Know No Fear? I'm trying to swing towards stuff that will be fun to paint/display because even if the game doesn't click with me, I still like painting the stuff.

Have a printer? https://www.amazon.com/Kodiak-Suppl...8-1-spons&psc=1 And just searching the internet for whichever chapter icons you want should cover you. You could probably find ready made templates instead of trial and error’ing the right size.
