That dreadnought list is wrong anyway because clearly the coolest dreadnought is the Space Wolf one with an axe and a shield. Standard box dreadnoughts have always looked a bit goofy to me though. I think it's the lack of articulated points on the model which is why when you see them animated they always look daft.

Eej posted:After all these years I'm very certain we'll never see Chaos Dreads again because of the de-emphasis on CSM as SM-but-spikey. Drop pods too. Instead of Dreads you have Helbrutes, Forgefiends and Maulerfiends. WE don't even have their own Terminators instead they have melee dudes who are better than Terminators except for when they are overcosted in 10th. I think you could plausibly see Chaos Drop Pods but only after an update to the loyalist one.

Serious question - what does having a drop pod model do that just giving a unit deep strike doesn't?

Its like a hammerfall bunker except grants deep strike to units that don't otherwise get it, in exchange for weaker guns. It's a big model and can work as a line of sight blocker anywhere on the board.

Drop Pods can deliver any infantry on turn 1 instead of turn 2 or using the new Rapid Ingress strat on opposing player turn 1. Traditionally you'd do something like load it up with Devastators and then drop it turn 1 and alpha the gently caress out of someone.

The Brutalis is fun because every time I imagine it tank shocking something I imagine it doing a cannonball dive into the enemy unit

What plastic glues/cement do folks use? I've been using Plastic Magic which is pretty thin, a lot of it seems to set by the time I've put the brush down and try to put the pieces together, and I've had a lot of bits pop off my last squad of Rubrics. I think I want something thicker, at least for certain joins where there may not be full contact.

It's thin, but gives you plenty of time to position pieces.

I'd been using Loctite Gel, and it's still really useful for some things (basing in particular) but ever since I picked up a jar of Tamiya Extra Thin, I can't believe I went years without it.

I use both Tamiya extra thin and thick CA glue for different purposes. If I want to eventually break off an arm, CA glue. If I want to literally weld something together and then sand it down to remove any gaps between the pieces, plastic cement.

CA glue is super glue, right? It's all I use because a non zero amount of the time I realize I need to break a piece off and change something; I think I've done it three or four times this year since returning to the hobby. Maybe other people plan better, lol.

I legitimately didn't know and just wanted to ask for my own benefit. I'd kind if like a cleaner way to apply my CA glue though, I messed up more than one of these models by accidentally squeezing on way too much. I'm using guerilla glue squeeze bottles.

If you're gluing any type of resin, you want the thickest CA you can find and the spray accelerator. The thick, gel CA - not regular CA that's gone bad.

Yeah I love the Loctite control gel. It’s more expensive than other brands (the tube inside the applicator is very small) but the convenience is worth it to me.

In MY jewel like objects of wonder!? I'll check that out ... when I run out of Guerilla glue. I front loaded a year or more of hobbying by buying the HH box, the Levithan box, and all the necessary supplies. And damnit, every week that goes by knowing I don't need to buy anything else feels good.

Yeah I ran Deathwing back in the 90s and early 00s, those early terms do not match at all. I had at least some of every kind available at the time, mostly the really old metal ones. They are noticeably shorter, and the pose is very static in a push-fit marine kind of way. I love them, but I wouldn't mix them like I did back then.

Just an FYI that Tamiya Extra Thin is the best but if you want more of it at a discount, just buy the Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner as it is literally the same thing for less expense. I keep my Tamiya Extra Thin bottles because I like the brush, but I just refill them with the Cleaner. I also love Bob Smith glues. Also don't cement your models to your bases everybody! If you just superglue them, then when you drop the model, they'll just break off the base instead of tearing like they would with cements.

I keep my Tamiya Extra Thin bottles because I like the brush, but I just refill them with the Cleaner. For ready made glue I prefer Mr Cement SP over Tamiya as it's "hotter" and dries faster. Makes closing seams with the bead method a breeze. However if can be more difficult to find compared to Tamiya. For cheap though you can buy Methyl Ethyl Ketone (Butanone) off eBay for £10 a litre which is the active ingredient of Mr Cement SP (the glue is 45% MEK with some additional solvents that make it cure faster). That's a whole lotta plastic glue. There's also dichloromethane aka Tenax Plastic Weld but that's increasingly hard to find and you can't buy it in bulk from chemical suppliers anymore on account of it having a nice collection of hazard warnings.

Cease to Hope posted:the second one is standing on a 4mm base (rather than the older 3mm) and a hero rock and that is the entire difference i am pretty sure It isn't, I had a ton of them, the early metal ones are shorter and stouter, boosting them up does help a lot, but they still stick out like a sore thumb.
