I'm pretty sure that's what you meant though. We do, in fact, do it backwards but only as a consequence of fast rolling, we do it the right way when there's only one attacker.

I'm pretty sure that's what you meant though. So is the actual written order: Determine # of attacks (if applicable), roll for hits. After number of hits is determined, resolve each hit by: defender allocates hit to model, roll for wounds, defender saves, repeat for each hit? I guess it would only really matter if the unit is made up of multiple models that have different toughnesses though? If I'm remembering that part correctly that is

The wound roll is made before allocation. Per the commentary, you use the highest toughness amongst the bodyguard models (or just the highest if no character is attached.)

Weird Pumpkin posted:So is the actual written order: Determine # of attacks (if applicable), roll for hits. After number of hits is determined, resolve each hit by: defender allocates hit to model, roll for wounds, defender saves, repeat for each hit? Successful wound rolls are allocated to models. You roll to hit, wound, allocate to a model at this point and take a save. For a fast rolling cover example, say a unit takes 6 wounds with 3 models in cover, assuming that each failed save will kill a model. You can declare they're going into models in cover until they're dead and start by rolling 3 saves. 2 pass and 1 model dies. You then take 2 saves on the remaining 2 and fail both so they're removed. That's 5 out of 6 so there's one save left that goes into a model that's out of cover. There's a little nuance since it's determined by model and you assign, so if say a meltagunner's in cover you don't have to assign wounds to them - taking it on bolters in the open instead to preserve a more powerful gun at the expense of the rest of the squad. Mixed toughness is covered in the rules commentary. It's worth reading through it, even if you won't memorise the whole thing just having a vague memory that you've seen something relevant in there can be useful to check up on in weird edge cases.

I actually opted to cover the current work on the Noise Marines in grey stynylrez just so I could get a grasp on what I've done so far since I've been working in clear UV resin. So here's a minor update over the last hour plus some other lads:  Here's two more:   They're sharing the head because I only made the one head out of some Escher hair, so it def needs a bit of a tightening up. Prob going to chisel some chunks out of the mohawk/helm connection point and redo the details. The next few heads I'll prob build up from plastic skulls. Do the meat, skin, give them the black orbed eyes, etc.

Way back in middle school / high school 20+ years ago I thought 40k was the coolest poo poo ever but didn't really have the scratch to afford the hobby so I basically just read the rule book and looked at all the pretty pictures. I painted a squad of Khorne Berserkers at the level you'd expect someone w/no artistic experience and no guidance. Around 15 years ago I tried getting into Warhammer 40k again but my interest fell off after painting a handful of models. Marneus Calgar and his honor squad may not have been the best first project to work on. Around the start of 2023 I stumbled upon some youtube video of Robert Evans rambling about the 40k universe for 3 straight hours and that sparked an interest in me yet again. I painted a squad of old firstborn marine models I had from 3rd or 4th edition and I was enjoying the process way more than when I last tried it out. After finishing that squad and learning that all my old models seemed pretty inferior compared to more modern offerings I decided that I wanted to go with a CSM army. Since February i've painted around 1600 points worth of CSM models and I've been having a great time doing it. I decided to go with Black Legion pretty early on because when I was a kid I thought Abaddon was cool as hell so why not make an army around him. This past weekend I built a lightbox so I could start taking decent pics of the stuff I'm painting. The last thing I'd just finished was a squad of the new possessed space marine models and they're pretty badass so I photographed them first. Screwed up focus on the bottom right model, ah well. I've enjoyed reading the 9th edition and 10th edition thread over the past 10 months, thank you posters.

Anything to watch out for when assembling Ork Kommandos? I know some of the kill teams have inobvious mutually exclusive builds because this guy is based on a different body from that guy but uses the same elbow and you only get one or whatever.

I hate to be this way, because these look awesome and over-the-top in the best ways... ... it's just that the barrel of the gun is just slightly at an angle compared to the body and it's doing my nut in. I can understand if it'd be too much trouble for something so minor, but that's the ONE problem I have with it.

It's been a year since I built them but I'm pretty sure you can build all the specialists with that kit. So not much to worry about, each one has instructions for building it as the specialist or a basic Kommando boy and then the leader has a choice of two weapons you can magnetise or just commit to one if you prefer.

BaronVanAwesome posted:1) good post/journey, great looking models Thank you! Here's the setup I used:  As you can see I just cut the flaps off the top of a cardboard box, cut two holes in the side of it, reinforced it with a bit of extra cardboard, then taped tissue paper over the side holes to diffuse the light a bit. Then I cut a $1.99 sheet of white poster board to size and stuck it in the box to give me a seamless background. I had a couple of low power clamp lights from ikea that I just clamped onto the box itself. At that point I'm ready to take pics. Photography was my main hobby for a while so I already had the camera and tripod, but I bought a 30 year old 105mm macro/micro lens that I got for like $200 off ebay which is great at taking close-up shots. However the depth of field is super narrow in the photos, so to avoid having out of focus areas of the minis I have to take multiple shots of each mini and then I use a technique called "focus stacking" (you can google this phrase to find useful guides) which uses photoshop to line up all the similar photos and blend them together by automatically picking out the in-focus areas of each shot so I can get full coverage of the model. I photograph a single model at a time , 3-5 shots for the front, turn it around and get 3-5 shots for the back. Then I import the photos into adobe Lightroom so I can crop them and make minor exposure adjustments and then copy those adjustments across all the photos so their settings are identical, the only difference between the photos is their area of focus. Then I focus stack in photoshop and save as a jpg. Then I photoshopped all the individual mini's jpgs together into a single pic for posting purposes. Each of my two shots was comprised of around 20 photos blended together. It's kind of a pain in the rear end but the photos turn out well!

Spanish Manlove posted:the break in the middle is crooked. You can see it when you extend out some lines on the two halves Ahhhhh, gotcha, there was a caveat I found during the kitbash that made me settle on its current iteration. If the extension of the gun was not placed a little higher like it is, then thr first coils end up being flush flat with the top of the extension, and it looked awful. Having the coils be sunk a bit deeper made it look a bit normal despite all the other changes. So I opted instead of lining up the middle line, to line up the top and bottom lines  I've still got to add cabling so maybe that line won't be apparent at all once some more visual confusion is introduced.
