I'd read a whole series based on Jurgen unknowingly foiling Chaos plots while foraging for tea bags, half-eaten sandwiches and grenades. I guess that's technically the Cain series, but whatever. Jurgen did get his own short story at one point, but I can't remember the name of on the top of my head. But as I recall the plot of it is pretty much that.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/11/01/da-red-gobbo-is-here-to-lead-da-christmas-revolushun-with-an-exclusive-new-miniature To no one's great surprise (probably), the model teased on saturday turned out to be the Da Red Gobbo. This time, he's on a squig.  However what is surprising is that we also get a book about him, written by Mike Brooks.  Considering Brooks previous Ork book was well received this bodes well.

But does he include rules for both AoS and 40k? Because that's awesome if he does.

Also the Cain series is great, as predictable as they are. I enjoy how lighthearted and amusing it is. Here's some Plague Marines I finished.

Seems at least 40k: quote:His gun isn’t just for show, either – Da Red Gobbo comes with a datasheet that lets you add him to your Warhammer 40,000 army in games that use Power Level. If you’d like to use him in points-based games, keep an eye out for White Dwarf 471, which will include a points value for this valiant grot and his ornery mount in a Warhammer Legends** datasheet. Also, hello thread. I have been lurking for a bit, having realized I had not made a bad life decision in a while, and recently picked up the Kill Team Octarius box, and some other stuff. So now I guess I have a backlog...

He probably won't have AoS rules, unless they model him with options to drop the Tech-y bits, but I wouldn't hesitate a moment to proxy him as a loonboss.

Cooked Auto posted:https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/11/01/fight-for-the-fate-of-terra-with-the-two-incredibly-powerful-new-heroes-in-shadow-throne/  I wish GW was more clear at writing rules. I can't figure out if that last line of Clandestine also requires the model to be in an Area terrain feature, or the model always has a -1 to incoming hit rolls even if it's not in Area terrain. I feel like I've seen GW clarify both ways with FAQs in the past.

Spanish Manlove posted:I'm reading "always has -1, cannot target if in area terrain unless within 12"" That's how I read it. Arguably you should have those sentences the other way around as it would make it clearer as you can say "Additionally, if this model is in area terrain"

That new remote explosive is pretty cool , to bad it's a char so you can't have a unit shooting no los , D1 as well. The mine thing is pretty bad though - marines have it and never use it.

I painted my first plague marine! The helmet isn't quite where I'd like, but I'm reasonably satisfied with the rest of it to the point that I'm going to batch paint the rest of my plague marines with this scheme. If I learn anything while doing so, I'll update the scheme when I get to my terminators and HQs. It feels really cool to paint a model and be reasonably happy with the results.  Eediot Jedi posted:Which of the purple contrasts are good? Looking for a nice imperial purple. I'm not really sure if it's helpful, but the cloak on this dude was Daemonette Hide basecoat and then covered with Magos Purple. I tried doing some highlights with more Daemonette and shading with Shyish. Shyish is super dark. I originally did a Wraithbone undercoat with Shyish contrast but it was practically black.

You actually might have better luck combining blood angels red and one of the blue contrasts, like talassar. edit: Just tried it out, you get a very dark rich purple, that could be "brightened" by mixing in some contrast medium.

It's even better than that, in Crusade games your warlord has to be the model with the highest leadership. Not only does this mean the Astra Militarum always have to be lead by any Commissars that tag along but now it means that dude is in charge of all Custodes forces he is in.

Hot Karl Marx posted:Broodlords are Tyranids, patriarchs are genestealer cults I am still unclear why they are different. Like, not in game terms, in fiction terms. Broodlords were the genestealer leadership, before Cults returned, so some novels have genestealer cults bring lead by broodlords while others have patriarchs. It's confusing.

I ordered some Eldar Rangers to use for Kill Team, and holy poo poo this resin is even worse then I expected. I heard the Finecast stories, but these really are terrible. I snapped two gun barrels off just by brushing against them with my hand. The other barrels are all curved, so I'm hoping the hot water trick works, although considering GW resin seems to be made of at least 50% chalk, they might just dissolve.

Background wise, a patriarch's a regular genestealer grown big on a few centuries of leading a cult and their psychic energy while broodlords are created as is as sort of super genestealers, like if genestealers are human, a broodlord's a space marine.

I am not sure exactly what you're looking for in purple, but I will note that Reaper has some varied purple-hue triads that I am pretty happy with and are easier than mixing!

I'm doing some purple cloaks and wanted a rich imperial/royal purple contrast because I'm lazy and putting this zenithal to work. Mixing contrast is easy as, DON'T put them in droppers, pop the bottle, slant it backwards/slightly to the side, twist the lid further down and a drop or two will run off. Strangely more consistent than droppers.

I got drunk and now a Be'lakor, a Keeper of Secrets, and a Lord of Change are on their way to my house so I guess I'm a monster masher now. I'm not a very creative painter and I would like them to really pop. I'm thinking about using color shift on the big birds wings, maybe using metallics on the keeper of secrets flesh and flesh tones on the metallics but I'm afraid it would look awful instead of weird. Just something to make them look truly like shifting, immutable entities from hell. What are some good ways to communicate that
