OctaMurk posted:If it looks absolutely splotchy and awful and watery but i did get it everywhere, then I am primed ? Yeah, it'll look atrocious but the part that the paint sticks to isn't the visible part; give it a couple coats if you're not 100% sure. I think you're also supposed to leave it to cure for a little while (12 hours the bottle says). After that though if you want an even colour just go over it with a proper basecoat.

Thought it looked a bit too splotchy for its own good, even after multiple coats, but fair point. I'll give it a go for my second attempt with the model.

I've had Vallejo white and grey primers be really mediocre-looking coveragewise when painted on, but my bottle of the German Red Brown paints on smooth and even like a painted-chocolate confectionary

I think German Red Brown has a lot more pigment in it, I tried mixing it with their black primer 50/50 and it still mostly came out red I think.

JBP posted:What happened to everyone being wild about gesso lol Oh man I remember that fad as well. The thinking was you'd slather on the gesso and it would shrink as it dried, conforming to all the details on the model. Problem was it would shrink and crack on flat areas, and on really detailed areas it clog up the details. I think the rapid increase in detail on models made it unviable, I could see it working on stuff like Reaper models that are a lot softer sculpts. It was also quite fragile as I recall, handling your models during games would take off entire patches of paint off the bare plastic.

New Kroot, like four different units. "What's shown today is only some of what's coming." So... I guess they're not showing the hounds?

Assessor of Maat posted:five units even. they're talking up a Kroot-only detachment also Five units and they said this is "about half" of the new Kroot units they're releasing. So... probably four more? None of these are the big lizard rider they showed in silhouette, and the hounds are also missing. ...would all that plus the kill team make Kroot more supported as an army than the Leagues of Voltann? (GW I forgive you for not doing a Vespid kill team with this release I guess.) Stephenls fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Jan 19, 2024 |

Rider is probably a Knarloc, so if that's for a unit of them, possibly a character on a mount too or maybe Great Knarloc for the other "half"?

Welp I've always said I'd be forced to buy into Tau if they ever let me run a pure Kroot list, and it looks like I'm going to have to empty out my wallet. And there's still another wave coming, drat. Absolutely love the old school sci-fi vibe they've got.

Krootox Riders are gonna be $40 for one model and you can have 3 squads of 1-3 and they'll be 25 points per model and the kit will have an alt build for a new unit. Where is your Omnissiah now, Admech?

Curious as to what my warhammer friends are going to react harder to on our discord, the Mandrakes or the Kroot. Meanwhile I wouldn't mind the Solar Auxilia box if it wasn't for that goofy rear end sentinel. But the Leman Russ in it's basic configurations is going to see a lot of use as a Command Tank, that's for sure. Hell, I'd do it too just to paint a different one.

Otherwise the Malcador does have rules in the Imperial Armor index as I recall. Which is odd that they didn't mention that when strictly saying there won't be any crossover rules.

I like to think that everyone thought they too were Leman Russes, until two armoured regiments from opposite sides of the galaxy meet on some campaign and the enginseers start brawling over the difference.

It was also quite fragile as I recall, handling your models during games would take off entire patches of paint off the bare plastic. I still use gesso to prime models. It's not really any better or different than another brush-on primer.  The main advantage is that I can prime a couple models on a whim without worrying about temperature or humidity, and if I gently caress it up it's way easier to clean up than a bad spray prime. I've never had it clog up details any worse than overspraying would cause, both cases it's just a matter of applying correctly. I also haven't had anything flake off that way. You are right about large flat areas, the way it shrinks means you'll often get gaps or cracks form on big areas, so I don't use it for things like tanks. The biggest issue is that if you are too generous with it on close areas it can sort of web together - like if a arm sits very close to the body and you aren't careful applying, you can end up with a little bridge of gesso between the two pieces. Also applies to small gaps, like a loop of fabric or a mesh panel. Not hard to avoid though.

Eh, not sold on it myself. Okay with everything else in comparison though. But I'd probably just use the infantry as voidsmen for a Rogue Trader than Guardsmen. Gravitas Shortfall posted:Guestimating from photos, I think they might be roughly the same length but the Dorn is taller and wider. Pretty sure that kit isn't too different from the old FW one so there should be plenty of comparison pics of it with Russes around.

So 2 of the other 4 Kroot kits are gonna be the Gnarloc and new Kroot Hounds they already teased, but very curious to see what they whip up for the other two. My guess is some sort of sniper and maybe a more elite infantry unit. Other than that all they'd really need is a transport of some kind to be able to cover all the bases - maybe the Gnarloc could have some weird alternate loadout so it's basically a Kroot version of the Hammerhead / Devilfish.
