All you honestly need is some Krylon spray primer and craft store acrylics that you can buy for like a couple dollars per set of huge bottles lmao

GW has since rescinded their "no discounts posted online" rule as long as its a max of 15% off i think. So their niche isnt as much of niche anymore at least.

Oh you goons - never change. But exactly - what do you care if I want to buy a complete set? I’m gonna but I’d rather not pay full price if I can avoid it. Google has so far failed me so I’m concerned that we’re all in a hellish wasteland where GW won and eradicated any retaliators who would dare sell their product for a discount. Prove me wrong is what I’m asking.

My local store does 10%, 15% If you're a member of the store club. It's pretty nice.

I still buy stuff from him but the only thing he might discount is his poo poo ton of Privateer Press junk. One of my local stores is generally around 20% off, one doesn't discount at all. Amazon has most things at 15% discount, often with prime shipping. Ebay has most things at 15%. Discounts on non-GW paint is a mystery.

I couldn’t find Vallejo paint in colors i actually wanted on amazon at discount. My local store sells them for 3.50 and 15% off if you buy 4 and another small percentage if you buy a slightly larger number. On the flip side they rarely restock them.

Hey guys I got back into the hobby after drat near 20 years of being out, and I'm trying to decide... Should I celebrate my old school feelings and make a crimson fists army or should I make a callback to my old 3rd edition iron fists army? I really like the way the primaris models look, so I would be fielding all primaris forces. What do you think?

Iron Hands (and so by proxy iron fists) are comically broken so depends how you feel about that. All primaris is mostly viable now. Youll struggle with some anti armor options unless you bring some of the beefier vehicles or a forge world dread though.

What's the name of the box those awesome plastic Khorne berserkers that never became a regular set belonged to? E: also I'm thinking of doing World Eaters after my Primaris army using Sigmar bits and the chaos marines box. Is a Khorne Lord on a juggernaut still a thing?

They said by the end of the year they want to launch a Warhammer Legends line which is basically stats for models they don't make anymore but won't be recommended for tournaments etc. In short, theyre still OK in casual play.

Goons, I need your help! I am a huge lore buff but have never played the table top. Looking to try it out, however, I absolutely do not have the money or the time to paint an entire army. My local game store has this painted grey knight army for $120 which I can afford: https://imgur.com/a/kSWlmL0 Is this a good deal? Is this army any good (I like GK lore)? Does this have everything I need or would I need to get additional things to make it viable? Anything else you can tell me. Edit: The marines have magnets on the bottom and the attachments on the vehicles are magnetized as well.

Thats a steal for the price if you know GK are really bad. But you seem in it for the lore so go for it.

Four Rhinos and a Dreadnought is more than $120 MSRP by itself. Grey Knights are reeeeeally bad, like, bottom tier bad, but that's a steal as far as price vs. what you'd pay if you bought it new.

D-Pad posted:Goons, I need your help! For a painted army that's a very good price; the infantry are an excellent core that you'll use with whatever build, but those particular vehicles are kind of tragically not helpful for the army. It's missing a couple of figures (you definitely want a Grandmaster, and one other HQ selection to make a Battalion) but you could easily get those with a little added cost. As a package deal I'd say go for it, especially since you like the army. Grey Knights are my main army and they are staggeringly bad in the competitive sense (fart) but I also love their look and lore, and they are a blast to play casual/narrative stuff with. Don't play against bad hams and you'll be fine. Also, which Game Kastle are you at? I'm more or less local to all three of them!

Thanqol posted:That's sick; where are the wings from? Drukhari Scourges. They come with three variants of feathered wing -- one with a pair of barbs that aren't really appropriate, one with creepy grasping finger-claws that aren't really appropriate, and these. The body is a Stormcast Sequitor (Sequitor D, I believe), the arms are from the Space Wolves Primaris Battle Leader from the Tooth and Claw set. The head, backpack, left shoulder pad, and weapons are from the Sanguinary Guard -- I cut off the Battle Leader's bolt rifle above the wrist and replaced it with a wrist-mounted inferno pistol, which produces the illusion of a pistol he's holding with a handle and a trigger and everything, and I cut off the too-Space-Wolf-y head of his axe and replaced it with a Sanguinary Guard axe head that's almost identical to the axe on his official mini. The two things I'm unhappy with are a) there's a pair of rough spots on his chest and belt where I cut off Sigmar-y imagery and I'll need to cover them with stuff from the Blood Angels upgrade sprue, and b) the head here is serene, but Devastation of Baal makes it clear that Sanguinius's death mask, which Dante wears, is just screaming angry. I'm planning on snipping the crest off this head and gluing it to the screaming angry unhelmeted head from the SG kit to produce an angry yelling death mask, if the dude this is for agrees with that approach.

PAGK are kinda bottom tier but they've also benefited the most from the marine-wide special rules they've been adding since the basic equipment is a storm bolter and force weapon.

I would love to be pleasantly surprised. I wasn't trying to be a dick. I was trying to keep someone from wasting a lot of money on paints they don't need. GW Trade Agreement forbids listing prices at more than a 15% discount. That doesn't mean they can't sell it for less, but they can't list it for less. The best deals you will find are: Amazon Prime for free shipping on models in the $50+ range, Miniature Market [if the order is more than $99], or Ministomp. Edit: some goons starting out painting think they need all the paints. We, speaking for the thread, were trying to help someone not make that mistake.

Lol after I made a cool and thematic kill team list I asked you guys about and I was like "yeeeeah winning isn't really important, I just want to make a list that isn't going to implode instantly" my friend who is new to it looked up a bunch of stuff online and has made a ta'u list that is a stealth suit, three guys with rail rifles, and then a poo poo load of gun drones to make the most of saviour protocol being pretty awesome in kill team. Part of me feels like I should take the more "serious" list I wrote which is basically a sergeant, rein and raus, a comms guy with a vox, three plasma guners and a melta gunner, and seven guardsmen. But drat it I have spent time and money painting my new army men and I want to use them!

Not that it’s the most game-breaking thing out there, but that “max flamer hits” strat will be super satisfying. Guess I need to get a Sternguard unit ready for maximum burnination.

You can fit 10 Sternguard in a Drop Pod with eight Combiflamers and 2 Heavy Flamers and just... 60 auto-hits.

Max hits on a unit of six aggressors with +1 to wound probably kills just about anything. Shame it's almost impossible to get them in position to do it. hopefully we'll get a zone mortalis supplement at some point and these guys can rule the world.
