My FLGS will have their contrast paints in Friday, so hopefully I can lay my hands on the ones I’m interested in. I just want the wraithbone primer, blood angel red, then a gray to base coat the weapons. I might get jiggy with it and nab a few misc. colors I’m interested in, depending on the availability. Hopefully I can put in a hold on that plastic sister sculpt coming out for Warhammer day. Generally the FLGS is cool with stuff like that. I have a question...how many coats of paint do you usually need with your airbrush to get decent coverage? I did an initial coat on my three repressors and the coverage is currently a bit spotty. I’m thinking I’ll need at least one more, maybe two. Also, thanks to everyone who suggested using Vallejo flow improver as the ONLY reagent to thin my airbrush paints. It’s way easier than using water mixed with thinner and the final result is better too.

Kill Team folks, i have a rules question: I'm building an Ork list for elites and want to make my entire force Freebooterz, and after asking for list criticism, someone is insisting that only Flash Gitz can benefit from the Freebooterz kulture, even if i'm specifically drawing all units from the Freebooterz klan so everyone benefits. I cannot find anything that supports his argument, and there's not an FAQ for Elites that i can find. Is he right and i'm missing something? Or am i correct and he's just nistaken?

TheBigAristotle posted:Give me Mordians! I know their rules suck, but they look cool! It irks me how many variations of Imperial Guard there are, but the only ones that get sold consistently are the Cadians, Catachans, and (if you're going ForgeWorld) Krieg. I remember one of the other guard units being sold as a limited time thing not too long ago (I think it was the Vostroyan). Aside from Tallarn and Mordian, I'd also want there to be Praetorian Guard minis, if only because I think it would be a fun contrast of having posh-looking Brits in pith-helmets versus Chaos Space Marines.

All you need to make those style Praetorians is regular Cadians and some pith helmet heads. I use Victoria miniatures heads for mine, but there are a couple other guys making pith helmet heads.  you can also get entire squads of several look alike regiments like Tallaran, Mordian, Penal Legion etc.

Tallarn and Vostroyan were both sold recently, as were Kasrkin. But I agree its lame there's different designs of imperial guard but they only really sell Cadians. You can be any shade of olive drab you want but other factions are much harder to build. I have a couple Tallarn squads and I love them. Metal figures though, need plastic updates.

Did somebody say Vostroyans?   I don't have nearly as many of these awesome dudes as I'd like. I'm also afraid of not being able to give the Vostroyan paint job a proper treatment.  Someday.

I miss penal legion, lthough realistically they fit fine as vets, troops or conscripts. Maybe they should be a future Regimental Doctrine type. On the subject of IG infantry types in general, I would absolutely go nuts for refreshed infantry kits. So much scope for an update, even if it is just refreshing the rather oddly scaled Cadians. But they could do a proper interesting basic infantry kit crammed with options (a la genestealer cult infantry) which would serve for half the units in the IG codex.

I use Victoria miniatures heads for mine, but there are a couple other guys making pith helmet heads. I remember running across Victoria Miniatures or something when reading up on the other IG variants. I've been meaning to ask what the go-to places are for alternate mini makers/customized bits. There seems to be dozens of them. The one I remember looking through a while ago in regards to Imperial Guard was Anvil Industry (https://anvilindustry.co.uk/). Another was Wargame Exclusive (https://wargameexclusive.com/), which has some neat looking stuff. I'd also like to see if there's a place that makes space marine minis akin to the Mk.II style armor, since that doesn't seem to be available on Forgeworld anymore. I should note that I'm in the US, and it seems like a lot of the sites are based out of the UK. I'm sure they ship outside of the UK, but I imagine that's a lot more expensive when it comes to ordering. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Jun 13, 2019 |

Gunder posted:Astartes Part Four has just been released. There have been a good number of interesting 40k fan and official projects but in terms of raw production value and attention to detail this really takes the cake. It's clear this guy gets 40k and Space Marines beyond surface level gothic heroic yelling mans, beyond anything even the big budget games have managed. The opposite one-armed cybernetic psyker twins are especially great, not some carbon copy of classic 40k villains but entirely plausible and in character with the setting.

I loved that the frozen bolts' propellant continued to burn until they popped like firecrackers. That's an oft overlooked detail that really reinforces that they've done the reading.

It was also good that he survived losing an eye. Typically that would have been shorthand for a messy off-camera death.

Casings are cool and any kind of dual stage propulsion makes a million times more sense for short range firefights than a dumb gyrojet that you can stop by putting your hand in front of the barrel. Caseless ammo is boring, and GW clearly retconned the caseless bit by the early 2000s with all the art showing a small starter casing at the back of most bolts. I love the fact that he went out of his way to give the Bolters a heavy double action trigger pull and note the 30+1 ammo counter after reloading.

30+1 is a really weird round count to have after reloading. Like he shot till the second to last round, stopped and swapped mags? Anyways the video is cool and I hope he makes more.
