Currently working on a Belisarius Cawl and jesus loving christ this is a lot of work.  It just feels more overwhelming maybe because its all one model and is a lot of fine detail work that needs to be done in small stages. Question for those that have made this model; Did you have trouble glueing him to its base? I can't get the lower body to stick with superglue.

I said come in! posted:Currently working on a Belisarius Cawl and jesus loving christ this is a lot of work. I mounted mine on a custom base and I couldn't get all the feet/hoove-things to sit flush/flat on it. I just ended saying screw it and pooled a blob of super glue gel and then just textured around the gap between the foot and the base (about 3mm).

Not specific to that model, but when I have that kind of problem I usually end up putting a pin into the foot and running it down through the base, then folding it against the recessed bottom. It's a little tedious, but I've found that if a model doesn't adhere cleanly to the base to start with, it's also going to want to pop off at random as well, so it's ultimately better to just take serious action up front. The pins don't have to be long, but I usually try to set them at a slight angle so you aren't pulling directly in line when you lift/move the model.

I painted Cawl and the base separately, then pinned him to the base using little brass rods. Pretty easy and he's stuck to that base tight.

The other way is to lay a thin layer of greenstuff over the contact areas, imprint the model and then pop it off if you want to paint it separately. You can then texture the base and the model will just slot back into your custom sockets.

Is there a good TAC build for a Chaos Knight meant to fit a CSM army? I did my first game in 2 years and while I won, I feel the big guy underperformed. It was a FW Cerastus build with a weaker sword that hit twice, and a 14-shot cannon. Got the feeling that mixed builds are not that hot and we should go full melee craziness or double-guns while hanging back.

I tried to take the model off while the greenstuff wasn't yet cured and it pulled apart, making a mess of my man's feet and the base. Should I have just waited for it to cure, or wet the model's feet with water or something so it would imprint but not stick?

Should I have just waited for it to cure, or wet the model's feet with water or something so it would imprint but not stick? I would lubricate the greenstuff with something oily - try moisturizing cream. Imprint the model and then remove. If you've lubricated with a cream it will separate cleanly. Don't wait for it to set just in case it "grabs" the model and you make a mess separating it. If it's still sticking put a bit of lubrication on the feet as well.

Should I have just waited for it to cure, or wet the model's feet with water or something so it would imprint but not stick? Try vaseline. I use it when making greenstuff bases with a texture roller. I smoosh down the greenstuff with my fingers into rough shape, put a little bit of vaseline all over it, then use the texture roller. Without the vaseline, the greenstuff sticks all over the texture roller, tearing and smearing, and it's a huge pain to clean off. With vaseline, it imprints perfectly and nothing sticks. Once the greenstuff has fully cured, I then rinse it off with some isopropyl alcohol while scrubbing it with a toothbrush, and it's ready to prime. I tried using water once and found that it still stuck and tore the greenstuff.

That's still loving massive. I'd estimate those at a little over 5 feet because I have no loving clue how tall those people are, that means they built them assuming a height of 100m for the Imperator.

It was a FW Cerastus build with a weaker sword that hit twice, and a 14-shot cannon. Double Avenger or Double Thermal. The former if you think it will last more than a turn, if not the latter. I prefer the latter because I feel the best use is maximizing the knight with both shooting and its tap dancing mayhem (and the thermal's are cheap cheap and scary to everything). The melee are a waste because the feet are optimal in 80% of the situations you come across.

Enough faith can counteract both gravity and angular momentum.

In my case I'd be content to just grab a regular squad to paint and get some extra heads for the Canonness I nabbed earlier and the Jackal Alphus I got for christmas. I do feel sorry for whoever gets the Triumph and then fully assembles it before painting it.
