I have about 50 Eldar infantry models and of I ever add to those, having some types potentially on very slightly different sized bases seems unnecessarily faffy.

Honestly it may not seem like a huge difference in size, but the Howling Banshees are sure as hell more stable on those things. They're right around halfway in between a 25 and a 32 and I'm 100% okay with the really flippy/twirly minis having some extra surface area to stand on.

I am sure that's true, I'm not saying 28mm isn't a fine size and maybe an improvement. I just have some OCD corner of my brain which wants bases to all be the same size across categories like infantry, bikes, vehicles etc.

I mean it sucks that anyone would have to spend money to accommodate a base size change in the rules but that being said there are tons of companies selling little round things you clip onto to the base that makes them bigger and doesnt affect your artistry in basing at all and instead just looks like more framing?

I mean I used base extenders for my Grey Knights and just used the same basing effect on the rim it made and now you can't tell they were ever extended. The problem is more the number of models involved. Including all of my infantry models in my guard army I have like 120 models minimum. I know Ork players had the same problem but it feels there's some actual benefit to orks having a bigger bass whereas I think it would look weird to have guardsmen on a big base and frankly it makes them even better as a screening unit which wasn't really needed.

When applying base extenders is it really necessary to actually paint/model basing effects? Does it look ok to just glue them on as a big black frame?

You personally may prefer it like that and I only had like 16 Grey Knights and they were rebased using technical paint so it's basically the ideal scenario. If I had 100 models or some crazy intricate basing scheme I may have just left the extenders on and unpainted.

moths posted:It's got heavy bolters so it's probably the Mortifier, which also has the sisters keyword. The unit entry for Mortifiers has an option to take an 'Anchorite' which is the same but with a 3+ save, instead of 4+. Guess the sarcophagus is how that's shown ingame. Preview confirms Sisters kits start pre-order next weekend: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/01/04/reveals-from-the-new-year-open-day-2020gw-homepage-post-1/ I'm a little disapppointed that they didn't unveil anything for AT after so long with nothing new.

I may be reaching but I wonder if the Ork V Imperial good boys book in PA will release with a Ghazghkull Thraka model with a “play with any clan” rule similar to Shadowsun? I think to be properly fluffy Ghaz would need to just give a bonus to all Orks instead of just being a Goff.

That's actually pretty cool, I like the model (especially with the helmet) and I don't like using special characters that are readily identifiable (like her without the helmet), so I'd just put the helmet on and use her as a sort of generic XV-22 commander with the same rules and weapons and use a different name Also that extra long ponytail is so loving stupid when you have a jump pack mounted right on your back

It's a T'au jump pack though, so it probably doesn't burn your hair because of the greater good or something. Or maybe one of her drones is only there to move her hair out of the way of the exhaust.

Hardware epoxy usually hardens faster than green stuff and the bigger issue it is 'coarser' so can't support as fine of detail being molded into it. You could mix it with green stuff type epoxies to make it more rigid while still being able to do finer work. Apoxie Sculpt is probably cheaper for that purpose, though.

You could mix it with green stuff type epoxies to make it more rigid while still being able to do finer work. Apoxie Sculpt is probably cheaper for that purpose, though. Correction: Green stuff is hardware epoxy. It's specifically a brand called kneadatite. It was designed for use in things like plumbing. The fact that it's useful for modeling is an unintended side benefit (though it's been used so long that's it's now part of the official marketing). So if you find kneadatite specifically, then that's the exact same as green stuff. As you say, other hardware epoxies have different properties depending on how they're formulated, and many other brands are not useful for what we use green stuff for.

goose willis posted:Is Milliput the same thing too? Insofar as it's also a hardware epoxy that's now used in modeling, yes. It was designed more for care repair and DIY projects, but it's mostly been marketed at the modeling hobby since like the 70's. If you're asking if it's exactly the same as green stuff, then no. They have different formulations and properties. As an example, milliput ends up much harder, while green stuff ends up with a plastic-like hardness.

Speaking on Ghaz... I really would love an any-clan Ghaz to hit the game, given I've already painted up nearly 2k of Evil Sunz and Deathskullz (and one Bad Moonz dakkajet). I'm a little pessimistic, though, because we're probably already getting a Big Mek with KFF model in the nearish future, and I'm skeptical that they'd give us two new ork models. I think it's more likely that it will just be the Big Mek model for orks.

Is there a surefire way to destroy the idiot clown part of my brain that every few months decides that starting a death korp army wouldn't be financially ruinous? Why yes £75 for a heavy weapons squad, this is a good idea.

Why yes £75 for a heavy weapons squad, this is a good idea. You've got two options if you want to avoid wallet death 1) Find a proxy, there's some good ones 2) If you're in the US then you can probably get massive bottles of vodka for about 6 bucks per liter, just drink that until you forget how to even play Warhammer. It'll only be as expensive as a Death Korp army if it takes several weeks to forget.

 Actually what I've been sort of musing on as an alternative to the regular cadians is doing something with the Blackstone fortress traitor guard, I've got about 60 of them sitting that I picked up to originally use as cultists. Ever since I saw the deserter miniature that forgeworld released for necromunda I've had a sort of half formed idea about him as the commander of a guard regiment stuck on the wrong side of the rift for however many centuries its been now. Clean off the chaos iconography and the traitor guard could pull off a battered, half feral guard force using busted old gear. Has anyone tried making loyalists out of that kit?

Had tough time getting good pictures, if there was ever an argument for me to finally get myself a lightbox, it is with this figure. Main thing I wanted to show is his chest piece, I am very happy with this figure. I originally went into it with just intending to slap some basic colors on him and call it good. I ended up getting carried away and wanted to really do a good job copying the official paint scheme from GWS. I feel that I succeeded.

A little bit of wash over the metal parts would give them some more depth, I personally prefer agrax over nuln oil for AdMech armour.
