Also I think DG are one of like 3 armies that have actual good terminators.

Kinda feeling like a grot today, kicked around and abused by the big green bourgeoisie... At least my incursors and infiltrators came in today so I can look forward to assembling the meat of my army tonight after work.

What are the pipe things supposed to be on the CSM models? The BSF Chaos lord have loads of them and I don't know what colour to paint them.

The motif I've seen in the latest model releases seems to be powered armor cabling with its jacket either (A) wearing away from many millenia of battle, or (B) slowly turning into flesh as the armor fuses with its wearer.

queef anxiety posted:death guard are hella fun to paint but are pretty average/bad on the TT if that matters to you I just paint minis for fun/relaxation. I don't play the tabletop game. I've done the Easy-to-Build Death Guard in the past, and I like how they came out (probably because you can screw up a bit and they still look pretty good), and I thought the contrast paints would work well with them for giving them a grungy, messy look. I've also thought about doing Thousand Sons as well, and some of the colors for Thousands Sons I was going to use for Sisters of Battle when they come out. For the most part, I wanted to do something with the 'vanilla' Chaos Space Marine models. Are the Thousand Sons all Rubric Marines, or are there some regular, non-dust marines in their ranks?

That I knew about. What I meant were the rank-and-file, standard infantry troops. I figured maybe they had lost some of the original 'all is dust' Rubric Marines in various battles over time, and so they had to conscript new, non-dust marines from other legions or something to replace them. My reason for asking was to see if it was possible to have a Thousand Sons army with regular CSMs in it, painted in Thousand Sons colors.

Lore wise I believe there are a few marines that survived the rubric that weren't powerful sorcerers, but not enough to fill out squads.

I assume that the Thousand Sons themselves just never grow in size, but any splinter groups/Chapters that fall to Tzeench by necessity use the Rubric to make more dusty boys.

Shockeh posted:More of a recent thing, as people pointed out attrition would have ended the Legion by now. Sure, but if they know it will dust the new guys wouldn't they avoid it? Or is the explanation that they're avoiding mutations, but probably also just want more robots rather than thinking chaos marines?

I am seriously toying with the idea of running a grot heavy force with lots and lots of scratch built conversions. I see lots of stuff online built of white plastic that seems to come in all kinds of useful shapes. Where can I learn more about modeling stuff like this? I want to make grot chariots.

My Kill Team roster. The "Corrosun Purifiers" my very first painted miniatures, obviously not as great as some of the other things posted here but I wanted to share my progress anyway. The big guys in the back are my Ogryn/Bullgryn proxies made from ambots (thanks to whomever suggested this). They fight hard and die hard and are an absolute blast to play, I had a lot of fun building and painting these dudes. Any suggestions on improving my painting game are greatly appreciated.

Nice, I was actually wondering about the new Scions because I have a bunch of the old kasrkin models with a paint job I really like but wasn't sure whether the new Scions looked good with camo but apparently they do

Never really thought about it until now but I do totally see the night lords comparison, at my local FLGS I got a few guys saying my guys looked like they worked for Cobra from GI Joe. My homebrew lore is that these guys come from a system of moderately developed mineral rich cool climate worlds that support a single Forge world. Recently the sector has developed a bit of a genestealer cult problem, and while every uprising has been squashed, they seem to be ramping up in frequency. (my local meta is full of cult players and they are a faction that I have a lot of wins against)

I guess if you count 3 Pb and a dp being the only DG part of the armies. If plague bearers get nerfed in CA idk how they're gonna hold up outside of kitchen table games as dread spam isn't what it used to be with sm being so good. Excited for new EC/WE rules even if it does delay their codex for another year

I thought the death blight lord terminators were competitive and also basically the only competitive terminators in 40k. Emperors Children would be freaking rad as heck!

Does anyone have experience with those Leviathan models from DreamForge Games? Currently they're having a liquidating sale and it's just 25 dollars for one of them and they're the same size and shape as a knight. Are they actually a good kit?

Great paint job! I haven’t put bullgryns into any of my lists despite their usefulness just because I hate the model. Seeing yours just made me buy 2 boxes of ambots!

It seems like there are two sizes, one is a little small and the other is a little big, but they do look like they’re very posable.

I wrote a guide on how I did it if you’re interested but it’s a pretty easy kit bash. It really is a good proxy because ambots and bullgryns are nearly identical in size and use the same base. The only thing you might want to do is get some green stuff and fatten it up, the ambots have a really thin waist where the pilots legs should be. I kept everything as is by explaining it away as the forge world my guys are from have a dreadnaught like suit for injured Scions to fight another day.

The kits they're dumping are all plastic, and the claw I built was on a sprue; it felt like similar quality plastic to GW - maybe a bit less, but the pieces were thick and heavy enough that I wasn't at all worried about them bending or snapping. According to their site, they're getting rid of their inventory because they're switching to resin, which is... unfortunate. Coldbird fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Nov 7, 2019 |

Question: The other day I found out that there was a mini of 30K-era Ahriman that was in the Burning of Prospero boxset. Did that mini ever get a separate release, or was only with the boxset? Also, I noticed that the Imperial Knight Paladin got removed from the store. Is there any chance of it coming back? My guess is that the answers to both question is 'no', but maybe I'm wrong.
