jesus WEP posted:at least it’s a less useless citadel product than “what if a dry palette but you can only use it once” Are you talking about their palette pads that are just small books of palette paper? Oddly enough when I was getting back into painting I assumed they were actual plastic palettes, so I ordered two, one for myself and one for my son. I was quite surprised when they showed up and I was like "Oh..but why?" . At least they were only 10 bucks each.... I have since purchased a wet palette from Army Painter and am excited to try it out. I guess I am the fool that buys the weird useless citadel hobby supplies.

Deptfordx posted:Can you use the Veteran Intercessor strategem on Assault Intercessors? Ask again in about 2 months time when there's a new Space Marine codex. Right now the answer is no as Revelation said, but ultimately its all going to get overhauled in October anyway, so if they don't have Veteran Intercessors I'm sure they will have something equally as silly as the rest of the stuff for space marines. Like being able to charge 12" without rolling or getting double the attacks.

Clawtopsy posted:Gotchu! Also, two goons PM'd me, and they're on there as well! Sorry to hear about your loss, Clawtopsy. You have my sincere condolences  I think this is a very touching way to remember your friend.So, ticket 1: I'd love to paint these guys up as glowy, spooky, ghost boys. I recently watched Artis Opus' video on painting terrain, and I love that 8-bit vibe. Ticket 2: I recently moved from my home country to Denmark, to what I thought was a sure hire; basically told that a position was open for me, and that application was a formality. Wasn't even considered for an interview, and that was a major blow. Well, my sister's boyfriend picked up on that, and introduced me to the hobby, the community, everything. If it wasn't for him and Warhams, I don't think I'd have anywhere near the network of friends and acquaintances I have now, and nothing near a normal social life

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/08/02/sunday-preview-new-warhammer-40000-starter-sets New starter sets coming up for preorder next weekend. Which also includes new paint sets and tool kits that include the new paints.   Good source for both of them tbh.  And the Marine one is good if you need some extra Assault Intercessors. I'd almost pick this one if I could just because I want to paint a couple but not get like a full squad. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Aug 2, 2020 |

So I played my first game of 9th edition with my girlfriend, not quite 1,000 points and it's literally everything she had. We played the open war mission so it was 4 objectives you score 1 point for holding at the start of your turn, and 1 point for killing the enemy warlord. Both of us didn't use battle forged armies so no CP or stratagems being used. The armies were: quote:Space Wolves Here's my guys on parade in various stages of being repainted now I have the time:  The game started with my girlfriend really insistent that I was going to win, and I was fairly sure she was going to turn my guardsmen into soup. The board was pretty covered in terrain so it wasn't a shooting gallery. Here's the board, new 1,000 points size of 44x30:  After the initial deployment you can really feel how little room you get for spacing out your units, I also stupidly trapped my Chimera behind all those ruins because tanks can't move through walls (doh)  Several of the first turns was essentially fighting over the middle spot, where I traded the ogryns and some guardsmen to leave ragnar and the assault intercessors hanging. Rangar killed all three ogryns in a single round of combat on his own, and four assault intercessors slaughtered ten guardsmen in a single round.   Then the Guard counter attacked disembarking from the Chimeras and Eisenhorn pulled off the trickiest poo poo ever, by mind controlling Ragnar, having him cut down the intercessor standing next to him, leaving him open to be targeted by shooting. 72 Lasgun shots later and Ragnar was dead, thanks to my girlfriend failing 4 of the first 5 3+ saves she needed to make.  Eisenhorn had to summon Cherubael after he saw the centre of the battle line collapse to push forward, and they ended up taking on the ten man wolf guard squad with the ten guardsmen assigned to protect him. The 9 Guardsmen died in the initial charge, but the Sergeant managed to roll a 1 for morale and survived long enough for help to arrive and save his life. He even killed the wolf guard sergeant in single combat. Eisenhorn will surely remember that sergeant and watch his career closely.  Not pictured in any of these fighting much is the squad of five Reivers, because they smartly sat on an objective all game racking up points for my girlfriend until they were finally finished by Eisenhorn's psychic prowess and scion plasma guns (RIP the two scions who blew themselves up to get those reivers). The final score was 6 to me and 5 to my girlfriend, her having been in the lead right up until the last turn. I really enjoyed it and it was very close up until the last turn. There was a turn where my girlfriend fluffed the rolls required to smash Eisenhorn with a thunderhammer, which would have gained her a point, and her terminators failed a 6" charge to bash the sentinels and the Chimera in her turn 4, had they made the charge and Eisenhorn had died, she would have won. Removing Look Out Sir! from Ragnar by mind controlling him into slicing apart the dude stood next to him was probably my favourite moment of the game, but also highlighted how much trickier it is to keep characters safe.

Yeah I would hope they would be part of a Gravis armor kit that could be either be Heavy Intercessors or Eradicators. Getting Indomitus pushed me to work through some more backlog. The dread in particular was half-done for a long time.

I kinda hope they're two separate kits, so we get twice as many new Gravis body poses (kinda like how the Intercessors and Hellblasters provide variety for Tacticus armor) and more gear options for both unit type, but a multibuild kit covering both of them does seem more likely. Nice Lamenters.

Turns out that Tesseract Glow is UV reactive: I'm seriously looking forward to eveyone's blacklight poster Necrons. Is there really a 28mm hex-hole base in the box? I've been searching for one for this jerk for 20 minutes:  E: found it! It was stuck inside a 32mm base that was caught in the sprues. moths fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Aug 2, 2020 |

Been building my ebay'd Indomitus Assault Intercessors and drat, I think I'm going to have to abandon my smol marines and move to a Primaris army (plus my terminators). As well as the size, they just look so more dynamic and interesting. I just wish all the grav vehicles weren't so GI Joe looking. I swear if you could take Intercessors in Land Raiders I'd buy a second Redeemer.

I swear if you could take Intercessors in Land Raiders I'd buy a second Redeemer. I honestly think if they offered a Repulsor variant without a turret, it would look about as good as a Land Raider. It's got nearly the same silhouette. (Though the elevated rear end-end grav plates would be a problem.) But the turrets on all of the Primaris vehicles are too tall and make the vehicles look too small and toy-like. It's especially apparent if you use the variant with the dude popping out of the hatch.

Meh - So, in the UK, as long as you're not looking for the cash balance to change, most GW stores will just swap items without even glancing at it. Here in Australia, you need a receipt even for an exchange, and I have a Repulsor gift I don't want. How... irritating. (The guys in Warhammer Brissy were super nice about it, and have said if Customer Services say it's fine they'll do it anyway, but it's still an annoying extra step.) moths posted:Turns out that Tesseract Glow is UV reactive: I am much more excited to see the inevitable UV LED fitted Necrons, so this stuff glows on the table!

   Pas'oriel, the demonic patron of the Seven Scribes despises them for what they have done to her. Once she was sleek, magnificent, wondrous - the fairest servant of the Changer of Ways. Cast into Grandfather Nurgle's pot alongside her Alpha Legion wards, she no longer resembles her once-beautiful self. So she furiously garbs herself with gold and gemstones, adorning her corpulent and diseased flesh like a magpie bejewelling its nest. She holds the warband personally responsible for her state, but as the Alpha Legion are proud so is she - and the Scribes can usually talk her over with great flattery and offerings of wealth. The Seven Scribes as a result of their relationship with this daemon frequently send agents to perform bank heists or raid noble spires - a practice that occasionally causes them to neglect their true objectives, and once has had them censured by the Warmaster.

For my birthday, I treated myself to a Contemptor Dreadnought. I used a very basic paint scheme, only a little fancier than what I use on my Intercessors. I primed black, gave it a light hit of a dark gray on top, and then went in to the details. Steel was done with Coat d'Arms Gun Metal, Reaper True Silver, and Vallejo Chrome. I also drybrushed over the corners and bits with some of the Gun Metal to help it look more worn. I also experimented with the new Citadel colors a bit. The bronze bits were done with Runelord Brass. I didn't like it at first. It had no real contrast against the steel. But once I hit it with the Skorpekh wash, it really came out. I also used the new Tesseract Glow on the lenses, with a little dab of Contrast Warpstone Green on the upper bits. I really love the sculpt they gave the Iron Hands contemptor's head. Very robotic.  In my never-ending quest to try and paint like the grown-ups, I've started using pigments for weathering my dudes. I also liberally applied it to the base to help the two blend together.  I tried to smush the grass down where its footsteps had fallen, but I'm not sure it quite came out.  Now, I know what you're thinking. "Mann! How can that be an Iron Hands dreadnought? It doesn't have any hands of any metal or alloy!" That's where my secret weapon comes in.  Magnets. How do they work? Pretty drat well, as it happens. This will also help if, say, the contemptor stays good but the twin lascannon becomes bad. It's much cheaper to buy one or two weapons than to buy an entirely new model, after all. Overall, I'm fairly satisfied. I sometimes struggle to feel like I'm making any real progress on painting, but I do think I'm starting to get better.

The original inspiration from the Warband - I've posted more pictures and lore further back in the thread if you search my posting history - comes from the random Alpha Legion chuckleheads who managed to walk up to Gulliman and empty their bolters into him during Unremembered Empire. Everything beyond that is my own additions.

Do Primaris marines have bigger heads (without helmet) than regular marines? I am looking to find and order some female heads for a few of my Primaris guys and I want to make sure I get a size that fits. I am looking at some that are compatible with smol marines, but I am not sure if they would look correct on Primaris.
