I think she was a freelance author. Which isn't unusual, GW utilizes a lot of them. I think they could at least do a lot by having one on the actual staff

Kitchner posted:I bought this guy pretty cheap off ebay, he's going to be a sort of restoration project: In other talk, here is the progress on the miniature after I've stripped it and removed the defunct power fist  After looking more closely I think at some point someone had stuck blades on the back of each fist and sort of made a Lord with Lightening Talons or Claws or whatever chaos calls them. Their gone now and I have to say I quite like this model. Waiting for a terminator combi-plasma to arrive (along with the hand holding it) and a backpack, and I think I can move onto painting it. I will say this about the previous owner, they pinned the metal arm holding the helmet really well, which I'm immensely glad of because I do not have the patience to drill a hole as deep as this guy did into a metal model using my hand drill.

You might not believe it but having a good quality drill bit makes a huge difference. The bits that come bundled with your average pin-vise and sold in packs are *not* good quality. I hated drilling metal until I found a bit from the local hardware store - think it was a trade rated cobalt bit rather than the usual HSS junk. It cost about 3 quid compared to the pennies for the regular but it goes through metal like butter. I've gotten to the point where I've accidentally drilled *through* metal models which was never going to happen with the crap bits.

I mean this is good advice, however I also don't work with metal models very often anymore (thank god) but I may invest in one next time a metal model breaks or I buy another rescue project off ebay.

Knobb Manwich posted:Meanwhile I'm here wondering if Alpharius and Omegon were on the same page of the 'play traitor so ultimately chaos is destroyed' plan or if they wouldn't have been able to help themselves and had to super ultimate betrayal their twin. As a consumate Alpha Legion player, my favorite part of the Legion's character is that they can't help but to make their poo poo overcomplicated and eventually gently caress everything up. They're like pretentious World Eaters who won't admit that they're more focused on having a fun fight and griefing the Imperium than actually achieving their goals. (I am wholly on the "Alpha Legion had/are still having a civil war that they refuse to tell anybody about" side of the argument.)

I'm not going to have a remotely current Space Marine codex until the new one comes out. Can you take power fists on Intercessor sergeants? Regular not assault. I've always done Crimson Fists so irrelevant power fists are almost compulsory.

BirdieBedtime posted:(I am wholly on the "Alpha Legion had/are still having a civil war that they refuse to tell anybody about" side of the argument.) I think that when they heard the cabal prophecy and being presented with a binary choice traitor/loyal to save the galaxy/humanity, they decided “why not both? Let’s see the prophecy figure that one out”. My favorite dumb but hilarious alpha legion theory is: ‘secretly triplets’. Threefold serpent and all that. Named: Alpha, Rius (female obviously, vis a vis the earlier discussion - you can decide whether she is the original canon 1st edition space marine jayne or gabs) and Omegon. Shallow posted:I'm not going to have a remotely current Space Marine codex until the new one comes out. Can you take power fists on Intercessor sergeants? Regular not assault. I've always done Crimson Fists so irrelevant power fists are almost compulsory. Yes. I built all my imperial fist sergeants like that. It’s can be little inconvient when building lists, but what kind of imperial fist sarge would leave the Phalanx without a fist. No son of mine, that’s for sure.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/09/04/visit-your-local-warhammer-store/ So turns out GW has changed their mind and going to make the female Catachan Sergeant available to every single Warhammer store, and on the webstore later. quote:And don’t worry, you won’t need to rush down to your local Warhammer store on a given day, Sergeant Jackson will be available for 9 days (including 2 weekends) – from the 12th to the 20th of September. What’s more, we’ll guarantee you one – if the store runs out of stock they’ll order one in, just for you.

RagnarokAngel posted:I dont think media representation helps that if its not backed by genuine diverse view points first. Its a non issue regardless, GW might not be able to have an all or majority POC staff but to my knowledge zero of their regular authors are not British cishet males. They can get at least one and are actively choosing not to. Rachel Harrison (Mark of Faith, Honourbound) is drat good. Not enough, to be sure, but it's a start.

I have two upgrade sets sitting here staring at me already, they finally became available again in the new packaging last weekend. BTW, don't know if anyone noticed/cared but basically all of the 40K easy to build kits have been deleted by the looks (on the UK site at least) except the blight hauler and pox walkers. I suspect the pox walkers will go too, as soon as there's another way to get them...

Ohhhh god yeah, that's exactly what it is. The width of the line on her eyebrow is as the same as the outline on her eyes. The effect makes it look like this guard sharpies on her eyebrows Tip of the hat to that absolute brush surgeon tho

Seems kinda relevant to the conversation, I found some catachans while clearing out some old stuff and decided to repaint one or 2 for terrain corpses/practice. My first time trying to do eyes with a micron pen, pretty happy with this side. Of course it ends up hidden when stuck to the terrain. Anyway mfw someone criticises catachan sculpts:

When doing eyes don't do a dot. I know our irises are circles but instead draw a line connecting the top to the bottom, it stops the wide eyed look.

Catachans and Goliaths actually benefit from dot eyes, as shown in these miniatures below:    It makes the muscles look bigger or something.

Generally people look like they're freaking out if you can see any of the white of their eyes above the iris. Below is fine. (Those wrestlers know exactly what they're doing, I'm sure of it.)
