Maybe some gooey brown right where the gaunt is stepping like it's cracking through the surface? That would be if you're sticking with that basing scheme. Alternatively you could introduce a third color for the claws, maybe a dark grey. Hive fleet Leviathan uses a third color to distinguish them - purple chitin but red claws/hooves.

Yeah I had some feedback about using a third color, and I think black or dark gray would be ideal. I did a quick experiment and it seems pretty viable.

Big fan of eshin for tyranid bioweapons over here, just have to go a bit liberal with the drubrushing to make it pop more against a colorful main body.

I don’t like the black bottom feet claws. I really like your bug red and bone combo. I think the problem is you made your base the same color as the bug. I had kind of the same feedback for your royal skull bois. I think adding a hint of blue/yellow/red/color to your desert base would help the contrast between claw and dirt. And make the world more alien. Unless of course you want the exact same base as your space marines.

My suggestion: make the base a dark grey with a black edge and you’ll be good to go. Keep the claws the bone color.

Yeah, I think I might accept that this is a scenario where a new base color is needed. I was hoping to keep the base the desert color since it paints up super quick, but I'm not set on anything at this point.

Sharks Dont Sleep posted:Leave the tip back and fade to blue at the base? Yeah, I can second this idea. Black fading into blue looks really good on an otherwise-bright miniature. I used basically the same scheme as you for my Carnosaur (but inverted), with black fading into blue on the spurs and spines, and I think it came out well:

Sharks Dont Sleep posted:Leave the tip back and fade to blue at the base? This is cool. Especially if you have an airbrush. I'll be honest, the scheme you have on its own right now isn't really working for me, it's needs some pop or something to break up the primary color. I know it's more effort, but something like this but with your colors?: https://youtu.be/QBu3e8jZDEc

Yeah I think the problem is the core color scheme. I have heard suggestions about using a darker red, using a different base, but I think I might go a completely different direction and look at something like a blue crab claw for the scheme. Bone white carapace, electric blue body, and red claws that are tipped in red.

Yeah that's great. I'd still choose the blue or red to be dominate and accent with the other, or you end up with things looking "icy hot" which can be cartoony and goofy in a way I don't think you want.

That's why I think the crab claw look will work. Blue will be dominant, and I'll use the red as the accent color on claws, etc. EDIT: I'm thinking either Akhelion Green, Aethermatic Blue, or Talassar Blue. Thoughts? https://spikeybits.com/2019/06/gws-contrast-paints-how-theyll-really-look-on-models.html Looks like thinned Talassar Blue might be the ticket: https://twitter.com/naytoe/status/1133452450885775360/photo/1 Beer4TheBeerGod fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Nov 1, 2019 |

If a model has multiple guns, it can shoot all of them as long as they aren't pistols, right? Or is it just one at a time?

  I'm making an Eldar kill team from ancient models I found in my parent's basement. This is the first painted model. This dude's slot has GW ©1988 on the base and has been sitting in a box since the early 2000s. He's older than most of the posters in this thread.

Yes, all of them, with the exception of a single weapon that has multiple profiles (e.g. Plasma guns or galvanic casters) with that exception of weapons that explicitly fire all of their profiles at once, like the Icarus Array. e: also I think you throw grenades instead of firing other weapons, rather than in addition to

I think they can actually do ok in certain armies like Iron Hands or Smurfs that give them the ability to avoid the penalty for moving and shooting. Really they just suffer from the standard Primaris issue of not knowing what they want to do; they're an autocannon Dev squad with jump packs that are also kind of squishy all things considered. 90 points for what they bring isn't bad though. Play IH and deploy in cover and then hop out and shoot without penalty, or as Smurfs and drop in T2 so you can use Scions of Guilliman to avoid the -1 to hit.

They're S7 AP-3 D2 in Devastator Doctrine, they're outright good, they just previously only came in Shadowspear, which makes assembling large numbers of them problematic.

Sweet, I took a squad of them in my crimson fists list for overwatch denial. I wish they'd make the multiparty kits for them already but I'll make do. Also, what's the deal with the eliminators and centurion squads being on heavy back order?

Assault Cents are currently really popular in White Scars (and also Raven Guard?) right now and Dev Cents are the new Imperial Fists hotness now that they got their book. Eliminators are just good and popular for all flavors of Marines.

In particular Eliminators are a unit that benefit most from having a lot of. One squad of Eliminators might kill a character if they get good rolls, or if it's something fragile like most of the Guard guys. Three squads of Elminators are a threat to any character who isn't a Lord of War. So if you're fielding them, you probably want the three squads you're allowed by the Rule of Three. Which means they sell out fast, because anyone who wants them buys three boxes worth.

Strobe posted:This kind of pedantic bullshit is why there are FAQ entries that say you're not allowed to leave the board as long as you come back on before the end of your movement. Nothing about it is pedantic. You're getting up in arms over wording you don't even know. Vulkan's aura (called Forgefather) gives re-rolls for hit and wound rolls for attacks made Flame or melta weapons to models in units within 6". It doesn't specify a phase for this to apply in. This is good, because you want it to apply to attacks outside the shooting phase. And note the words "firing" and "fired" are never used. Flame weapons are defined in Codex: Space Marines as weapons with "flame" or "fire" in their name, including Flamestorm Gauntlets. Flamestorm gauntlets have a melee profile, defined as "Flamestorm Gauntlets (melee)." Therefore, when you make attacks with them, they are flame weapons, and benefit from Vulkan's aura. Instead of getting upset over it, just imagine that the Aggressors are spewing flame while they are punching things. Or that the enhancements they get to their weapons from being around Vulkan also applies to the weapons' ability to hit things.
