So either the "choose a model" bit is wrong or the "the model with the relic" is wrong and either way, someone done hosed up. Maneck posted:It doesn't say that it's based on range (it probably should). Whoops, you're both right. I read too many abilities and even multiple readings I kept adding that it was against a specific target.

It seems pretty clear to me. Pick an enemy unit with 18 inches of the relic bearer. The relic bearer then gets +1 AP against that unit until the end of the turn. Edit; oh drat it doesn't actually specify that it's against that unit. Either it's a typo or it's just meant to work at close range.

The wording makes it so that the benefit is gained for all attacks made by the model with the relic instead of attacks made by the model against the chosen unit. This is either a hilarious oversight and it's intended to only work against the chosen enemy unit, or it is intended and it's just a buff that that triggers based on enemy proximity as a way to incentivize closing the distance and playing more aggressively.

Yeah it's got to be a hilarious oversight because otherwise 'add 1 to the ap of this unit for the rest of the turn if there is an enemy unit within 18 inches at the start of the shooting phase' is a much better way to word it

Made some progress on Hive Fleet Coconut. Definitely need to slow down though, noticing lots of sloppy mistakes. I think I have the basics down at least. The Broodlord... is going to be rebased. It's a thing.      I hate Termagants 🙂

I'm happy to have a shoddily painted first wave of dudes, can be a chronicle of my (hopeful) improvement. Also it was a fun day to learn that my hands twitch when held at certain angles that I've just never experienced. I'll try my best but they ain't winning and beauty contest. Look at dudes painted back in the 90's to get an idea of my skill level.

Dry brush and inking for the rush jobs. My Cadians look like they got in a fight in a printing house next to a glitter factory but at least it’s better than nothing.

ro5s posted:For the crawler I like the entropy cannons, Death Guard really need guns that can shoot over 24". The rhino really just want a combi bolter, it's not doing much shooting. Revelation 2-13 posted:I’d magnetize the crawler. The entropy cannons are good for long range heavy firepower, which DG lacks. The mortar itself is kinda thrash, but you can run crawlers in a pair, with a reroll 1s chaos lord nearby or something and they’re okay for firepower. A really cool way to run them though, is plague spitters and drive it straight into people’s faces, block objectives, etc. point for point the crawler is one of the most obnoxiously hard to kill things in the game. T8, 12w, 5++ and 5+fnp. You can also buff the str of it, since it affects the plague spitters and make them strength 8-9, which seems cool but is kinda clunky and impractical imo. Anyway, both ways are kinda cool, so I’d magnetize. Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately I do not have magnets at my disposal presently, so entropy cannons it is!

They just slot onto the square pegs and stay on in my experience. And I've always used Spitters as autohitting is better than rolling terribly BS with Heavy weapons, and the aforementioned STR buff can come from Demon allies pretty easily.

I've heard it said that if you paint then glue you need to mask off (or retroactively scrape) the areas needed for glue contact. Personally, I've glued things together with paint on them (forgotten marine shoulder pad, for example) and it's worked out fine. Can anyone elaborate on how much masking and scraping is necessary?

With acrylic paints, plastic glue can function something like a solvent. It will penetrate and deform the paint and allow the two plastic surfaces to bond - somewhat, anyway. The strength of that bond is a function of the plastic penetrating the paint surface - and is therefore unpredictable but in all cases weaker than if the paint was scraped off. The real tip is that, seeing as plastic glue acts rather like a solvent, put some plastic glue on as if you were going to stick the parts together without scraping. And then, use a knife to scrape the paint. It will be loose and easy to remove. Be careful that you don't lift off more paint than you want too. Once the scraping is done, add a little more plastic glue, and now it's easy to get those plastic surfaces together for a proper bond.

For arms with marines I used a larger drill bit to every so slightly create a very shallow divit instead of scrapping with a knife. My drill bit was the same one I used to make holes for rare earth magnets but I’d only just barely scrap the paint. Allowed for a little more control. Doing this to both sides also allowed for plastic glue to not really “squish” out the sides.

Speaking of paint, I'm thinking about magnetizing Crisis Suits once 9th launches and I start my Farsight army. I've never done it before but I'm pretty game to try it. One thing I hadn't considered is painting over magnets. I assume that's fine to do, but are there any considerations around this that I ought to know about?

You can't actually shoot stuff other than what you are in combat with, so it is a gamble that you will clear the melee unit first.
