Yeah I couldn't imagine losing a chunk/most of a painted army to someone's anger like that. I feel so bad for the other person.

But also what's wrong with DA? You get like all the regular SM units plus the biggest pile of fancy DA only units and most importantly silent weird little guys in robes following everyone around/

Then again the Ork codex is coming soon, maybe there will be options for building an army that doesn't focus on the waaagh turn.

You get like all the regular SM units plus the biggest pile of fancy DA only units and most importantly silent weird little guys in robes following everyone around/ The biggest issue is that most of the fancy DA units are not worth playing over regular SM units that fulfill a similar role. If you told me the best unit in the Deathwing detachment would be Azrael+10 Hellblasters before the codex came out I'd have called you crazy but here we are. Unless we see drops in point cost to many of the super special units, I can't imagine they'll see much use. At least Black Knights look beastly now in the ravenwing detachment. A bigger issue for casual play is a whole bunch of missing datasheets and loadouts

I do love the weird little robe guys. Overall I love this trend of GW just making a bunch of weird little dudes for each faction.

I wish 40k had rule affordances for playing with more weird little guys and other decorative elements. AoS has those permanent spells, and The Old World has regiment fillers.

This is why I never bother with painting eyes. Not too shabby otherwise and if they pass they arms distance test that's good.

iospace posted:gently caress predefined Marine I've found that painting eyes is a lot easier if you just paint the entire eye black, and then add on two white dots on each side of the eye- doing the opposite, more intuitive white eye, single black dot usually just ends up (when I do it, at least) making all my guys look googly eyed Here's a slightly sad and very confused and/or concerned looking space marine head I didn't end up using, but the eyes turned out well with minimum effort, using the method above. Ignore the attempt at eyebrows, I clearly have no advice for those

The weird counterintuitive tip I have for eyes is to do them early rather than last - that way you can neaten them up while you’re doing the rest of the face if they’ve gone a bit blobby.

I finished the last of my assembled IG infantry, a pair of hvy weapons squads. It only took decade to finish the project.   31 infantry dudes painted in less than a month. A pretty good start for the year.

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but for the new Necrons, what model would you all use to represent the Technomancer/Plasmancer? I can't seem to find a model for them on the GW site. Buying a gift for a friend from a big list and I don't really know anything about Warhammer.

For the Technomancer you could go with: The Necron Cryptek and for the Plasmancer you could go with: The Necron Psychomancer or if you can find him there's the Plasmancer from the Indomitus box which has oddly never been released on it's own. But really any Cryptek can be any kind of specialist nerd you want them to be. Like even this guy: Necron Chronomancer or this joker: Orikan the Diviner

The Technomancer, Plasmancer, Psychomancer and Chronomancer are four different caster support units so if your friend intends to play with them you shouldn't just be picking one willy nilly. To put it in terms you know, it's like buying someone a copy of Urza's Power Plant and telling them you can use it as Urza's Mine or Urza's Tower cause they're all just goofy Urza lands right

The Plasmancer isn't even a model available on its own at the moment.

fadam posted:Thanks! It’s kosher to use whatever model you want as long as it is clear I guess? As long as the model is clear and the base size is correct, if you're playing with people who care about base sizes being correct. Plasmancers are on 32mm bases; Psychomancers and Chronomancers are on 40mm bases, and the Technomancer with Canoptek Cloak is for some reason on a 50mm base. The reason why you're not finding a store entry for Technomancer is because the model for the Technomancer is just called Cryptek in the store, because it dates back to when there was only one kind of Cryptek and they never updated the store entry or official model name to reflect that 9th edition split Crypteks into a bunch of different units. The reason why you're not finding anything when you search for Plasmancer is because it's part of the Necron Royal Court -- it's all machined as part of one sprue, and so they can't sell any of the models in that kit separately without machining new kits for them, which is an expensive process. The reason why the Necron Royal Court is machined as part of one sprue is that as part of creating perceived value for edition launch kits, GW fills them with a lot of models machined as monopose kits that share sprues so the production costs are low and more can be fit in the box. The Necron Royal Court was the Necron monopose launch-kit-exclusive sprue for Indomitus, the 9th edition launch kit, alongside the Honored of the Chapter on the Space Marine side.

That's just impolite at best and angle shooting at worst.
