The Demilich posted:I finally cleaned out my sotar 2020 and the drat thing is sticking like crazy. What's worse is I can't figure out which end bits go with which needles since it's been such a long time. Thats a bad place to be, nozzles and needles need to be in matched pairs or you're going to have a real bad time, especially on the delicage 2020. I honestly have no idea how to determine which goes with which. Whenever i swap needles I always keep the nozzle in the same tube with it. I suppose you could try each needle with each nozzle and compare how much of the needle sticks out, trial and error would probably get you a good idea of which is which.

Lostconfused posted:It's cool how you can clearly tell that games-workshop learned from the Krieg kill team kit by making improvements to the Kasrkin and Cadian designs by adding stuff like indents into arms and lasguns that go across the models chest and make them fit cleanly. That is Necromunda tech. Don't know why they wouldn't do that for possibly the most-anticipated sprue for Imperial Guard ever, but fucka engineering I guess.

Yeah I feel like trial and error or matching up parts with online images may be the only viable options. I have all three needle sizes too so it'll be a real pain in the rear end. I'll hopefully figure it out tomorrow At least I made a little more progress on my Killrig tonight though!  Red lines are where I might add more teeth to break up the roundness of the vehicle. I'm not really sure what else I could do up there, I should search out some other kitbashes for inspiration. I wonder if I should throw some teeth above the doors now as well. Blue will be smoke The purple question marks are, well, questionable. In the rear I have a random arm thing I found, it's the biggest orky bit I have and I figured a grabby arm of some sort might work just to liven the rear end end of the vehicle up. The front is a gun I found in my bits box, but I need to make a housing for it. Greenstuff cabling is a given, but my first attempt at a making a box out of plasticard for it to sit in looked really bad so I removed it and just threw it on some blue tack for now. The idea is going to be the engine is a nuclear reactor and the gun is powered by the excess waste heat from it being turboclocked, and it can swivel around and fire at stuff from some controls in the cab. I haven't picked out the gretchen for the cockpit yet so here's hoping they fit! I also finished up 30x bases for my Iron Warriors, the Onager Dunecrawler is now done, and I touched up the Lord Discordant base as well so I'm pretty happy.

If you've got something you can either replace them with (wider) or a way to rough them up so they don't look like road tires, I think it would go a long way. A bit of mesh or something around the exhaust stacks would also do good work to my eyes. Something to give them more presence, since big chunky exhaust stacks are a staple of the 40k aesthetic.

If you replace the back tires with tank tracks, you've gotten most of the way to a WW2 troop transport, but I'm not sure if ork trukks still carry passengers in that role. You might also be able to pop the curved roof off and substitute a fighting platform?

Still, am excited to learn. And also to paint little french spacemen. I was thinking of getting a Veteran Guard KT as well as a way to learn the basics (and you can use them IN 40k from what I gathered). but boy do i not know poo poo about this. Update: I still don't really know poo poo and it's intimidating. I just found out today that you don't need to put the guns and weapons you'll use on the minis. Learning more about army building for a 1k of guardsman but I think my store does an escalation league that I can join. I grabbed Les Grognards Heavy Weapons and Command so I'll have commanders and heavy weapons and women in my army.

I was planning on throwing the vehicle weapon on the platform, a kustom Bubblechukka, but there should still be room for Orks and Gretchen on the platform. I realize I need an Ork driver model as well since the Gretchen I have doesn't fit very well in the driver seat Warmachine posted:And strap a Gretchen to the front grill. I don't have a spare that I can manipulate in such a way, but maybe I can finagle an old MK3 marine in there. Here's the updated rig:  I still need to add walls on the platform, plus the weapon of course.

The Demilich posted:I am however out of orky weapons and need to figure out what else to do with this. I'm thinking barbed wire strung across the front of the truck (help on by the armor jutting out the front). Guns should obviously go on the top of the cab and on the panels above the front tires. I should also put one where the trailer pin goes. I have to add some spikes to the rims as well base guitar string makes great rebar. you can get tons of scale plastic I-beam at modeling stores. you can just have orks holding weapons riding on it warboys-style, if you need more guns.

Is it the Warboss Warbike kit that comes with a grot waving a wrench? I feel that would be appropriate. More grotz trying to do basic maintenance while driving. Trukk looks awesome so far, can’t wait to see it painted!

some guy is selling a space nuns combat patrol box for 80 bucks with shipping and now i'm thinking of the adepta sororitas but i'm not wracked with catholic guilt so a lot of it seems gauche. seems like a crazy good deal that will jump start my "knowing how to 40k" but idk about the space nuns. do they play different enough from the imperial guards that i wouldn't be double dipping? i don't want TWO armies with a million little people running around edit: i really botched the formatting here my bad Ominous Jazz fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Apr 12, 2024 |

Haven't had much time to paint for the last several weeks but I finally got this guy done after owning him for 2 months.  He's a big departure from my normally bright blue Nids but I figured the stealth bug should look a little different.

If you think they would be enjoyable to paint I would say pick em up. Their playstyle is different than Imperial Guard, but not the most different. Worst case scenario, even if you are not a super fan of the playstyle, having the combat patrol gives you a "guest" army if you want to introduce other people to the game, or play with people just getting started.

Yes the pre-orders should be going up in a few hours. Local stores have already started taking orders sunday/monday. Going to have a bit of a chuckle when Kasrkin get a cost bump in a week or two.

bessantj posted:Is there an easy way to tell the difference between Chaos Havoc Marines and Chaos Space Marine heavy support minis or are they pretty interchangeable? Totally interchangeable. The only difference between regular marines and Havoks (other than the heavy weapons, obviously) is that the Havoks have clawed feet (supposedly to grip the ground for more stability) and helmets with fancy cables and optics. That absolutely does not matter and Havoks are just a squad of CSMs with heavy weapons.
