I think Dark Imperium (or Know No Fear) is the only way to get the 10-man* set of zombies (there are two squads of 10 in DI), the 6-man* squad is available by itself. *:

Some big downsides to resin printing is that the material takes quite a bit of work to clean up after printing and it's so brittle that one gently caress up can break large pieces off the model.

I think this is still the main impediment to home printing being a threat to miniature makers. No printers are truly plug and play. You still can't just throw an STL file at a program and bing bong bing get a miniature a few hours later. It's messy, it smells, it might burn your house down and they go wrong and require manual tweaking and fiddling all the time. The quality is there but the actual process is still firmly enthusiast.

I love tweaking and chopping up my models to make different ones and with resin that is absolutely impossible. Trying to cut an arm off without shattering the entire model is almost impossible.

It's cool when things explode, sorry. EDIT: Serious answer, get MeshMixer or something and remove the bits you want to chop pre-print so you've got a great base to work from. It's fun! TTerrible fucked around with this message at 17:30 on May 22, 2020 |

One of you jokes that GW doesn't care about eldar, well you might be onto something as whatever their endgame is it isn't a threat to Huge Mannity https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/05/21/the-imperiums-endgw-homepage-post-4/

Haven't even the Eldar said in the canon that there simply aren't enough of them to impact the Imperium? Also their endgame kind of lines up with humanity's since they both want to eradicate the threat from Chaos, it's the same reason there's nothing about the Tau on the list.

The Eldar mostly want to avert the destruction of their species, it's like wondering about how you'd redecorate the kitchen while your house burns down. The Eldar and the Tau just don't post an existential threat to the Imperium because there's not enough of them. They could kill a thousand humans each before being taken down by a lucky lasbolt and they'd still lose eventually.

Typically the Eldar only gently caress with the Imperium when doing so prevents some great cataclysm from occurring some time in the future. Some Farseer has visions of The Great Devourer overwhelming a sector, so he raids strategic Imperial worlds intending to provoke Space Marines into showing up to their defence before the big bad bugs arrive. Edit: notaspy posted:Serious note, I thought the Eldar wanted to become some gestalt entity that would reign supreme over the galaxy. They did, yes. That's how Slaanesh happened.

The Eldar know they're not major players any more. They hover at the edges trying to manipulate/assist the imperium into scoring a win where it suits them, conversely they'll jam an ork shaped wedge into the imperium if the tea leaves indicate these humans are loving something up. They still have an important job defending the webway, but it's generally sitting on the bench for my beautiful children of asuryan.

Yeah, they're in the weird position of being an extremely ancient and powerful race with a limited/diminishing footprint. Like, uhh, elves. The Black Library might prove instrumental to the final defeat of Chaos, but that's kind of irrelevant because they're never going to End Times 40k and if they do it won't be with the "good guys" winning.

Von_Doom posted:Oooooo nice. Thanks for the feed back and I look forward to seeing what you make. Then pictures I showed do not do the rust effect justice, but you can make it look amazing on your models. The best thing is, if you add some puss or blood it adds a good liquid contrasting effect to the dry and flaky looking rust. GW technical paints are really that good.

In fairness they are hard to use right. I only got a decent effort with ryza rust and typhus corrosion because I found a decent guide to using them. Blood for the blood god is a great example, it has to be used with finesse for best effect.

Every staff member tells you all the techniques they use are easy and they can show you how to do them. Then you sit there looking at your attempt and looking at theirs like "wtf this looks no where near as good" and they say "ahh you just got to practice, but look you're almost as good as me!". They do all this super enthusiastically and to be fair washes and technical paints are a super easy way to make a model look good.

Finished up my Catachan Colonel! My FLGS gave me the model for supporting them while they were stuck with only doing curbside or mail-order sales, so they get a little plug in the background.  He's a really fun model to paint. I hope they do another release of the model eventually. He's just really cool in general.  I used some of the Vallejo fluorescent paints on the alien blood and the servoskull's eye. The picture doesn't quite do it justice; they look really good in real life.
