That's the first thing I've painted since about 2005. Worth the help of a friends airbrush, I'm super pleased with how it came out. Might stick on a couple of decals to finish off

And now I’ve realised how much I want a Nuclear 1950’s / Fallout themed AdMech army to exist.

Pricing on the new paints: I pre-ordered a paint bundle with all 34 colours from a FLGS and it's about $7 a pot.

Full disclaimer: the bundle I pre-ordered includes both primers, some brushes, the two primer colours in pots etc., so I subtracted the cost of those things from the bundle price and divided by 34. We get 20% off on top of that, and I'm spending the gaming club's money, so it could've been much worse.

That's basically what I'm going for.

Here's some "servitors" alongside UR-025 (he's their leader, with his dusty black coat and his red right hand.)




They're from some chess set and quite poor sculpts, that and them being the very first things I painted only adds to their crappiness.

I'm probably going to track down some sentry bots as proxies for Kataphrons.

Not sure. I just assumed regular primer price when I calculated the prices.

I know my FLGS has a different pricing for the standard black/white cans and the coloured ones. I would assume the contrast ones takes after the latter in this case.

You get the auras and buffs if the wording is "a shooting attack" and not "in your shooting phase."

The fiddly wording on those auras is very dumb and GW should errata them all to be clearer.

EDIT: I mean, a miss should be a miss, you shouldn't have to subdivide them into types of misses that you can only reroll sometimes.

Attach characters to units and stop dealing with auras at all. Or use the official "games workshop circular measuring device"

It looks sorta like illuminated manuscripts. Draw out a pattern with a pencil or something and then block it in. Cool idea!

Are you sure that was a good idea? Games Workshop doesn't even have the paints up yet on their online store. Where is this price coming from?

I will make one post about this and never bring it up again, but I am attempting to build a place on facebook where lefty Hams can congregate and talk hobby, make fun of chuds, etc. Goons are largely good people and I generally trust everyone's intentions, so if you'd like to help a group like that grow, shoot me a PM or quote me if you can't and I'll link you. If this is against the rules/spirit of the thread let me know and I'll just delete it.

Having all abilities like this work like the Necron ones would be better, pick one unit to reroll 1s to hit or whatever rather than entire armies huddling around a captain.

Once contrast paints come out, can GWS release new super brushes that always keep their point no matter what and are self cleaning? :colbert:

The difference between "mere human" and Astartes is in the strength and toughness. Power armor gives you a 3+ save, but the gene seed gives you S4/T4. Isn't that usually how it gets explained in terms of fluff v crunch?


This is a scale problem. In something like Infinity, a Guardsman would be 10 points, a Sister would be 40 points and a Marine would be a crazy thing at 80+ points. 40k doesn't have that granularity though so everything gets squished so you can fit in knights.

No, 40k's just a different game. It's not an accurate simulation of the fluff and it's not meant to be.
