FiestaNinja posted:Fusion pistols I don't really have a good suggestion though, the harlequin troupe is another annoying kit where to equip them the way you want you'd have to buy 3 of it. Blast pistols are easy enough to find if you can think of a way to alter them into something fusiony. I forget where I found the instructions, but I converted mine by clipping off the shuriken pistols clip and barrel, shaving down there sides, and gluing on the little crystal thing from the center of the haywire cannon.

thesurlyspringKAA posted:So with my tau being totally neutered so far, I’ve been looking into starting an Astra Militarum army. I love the concept of a mechanized force in which almost every squad has a chimera/taurox. I’d outfit the chimeras with double heavy bolters and get some good volume of fire out of them. Any unit can start or not start in a transport. If they start in the transport, the vehicle and any units inside count as one drop. Otherwise they are each separate drops.

Y'all should move to Boston instead so you can get priced out of the rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods and a guy named Shaun can piss on your car. I finished painting 5 more Sword Brethren, giving me a nice squad of 10:        The family photo:

TheChirurgeon posted:- Maybe it's my crew, but there seems to be a strong preference for narrative games over strategic play. And by that I don't mean that our group are a bunch of FUCKASS FUNHAVER FUCKBOIs (though some of them are, like BuffaloChicken)  I also haven't been posting battle reports in this thread, but now that the Deathworld Forest from TheChirurgeon is painted up I'll have to share some action shots (I think the Badcast mentioned I was working on these months ago, and it's finally done). It's amazing how much better the terrain looks when actually based and painted like a forest instead of weird-colored alien warp-daemon twiggy bits.  (P.S. TheChirurgeon rules and I'm pretty pumped for the next campaign game where I rain as many spore mines as possible on my opponents.)

If it makes you feel better, I have collected 6000 points of Dark Angels since mid Jan with 2000 fully painted so far. (4500 is Deathwing though so maybe I'm cheating a bit)

BuffaloChicken posted:sorry dude can't hear you over the sound of this LOUDASS HAMMERING as i FORGE A BOMB-rear end NARRATIVE !!! Can you post some pictures of your genestealer cult? They sound cool. I'm converting a couple squads of guardsmen into genestealer cult so that they can be used in either army. I'm thinking of turning a missionary into a Magus, then I will be set to add in some tyranids (mostly because I want to paint space bugs).

Wrote an entire long post showing good photos of all my Cult stuff and had to delete it, since all my Photocuket links haven't work the last few times I posted here. These are some crummy shots I was able to dig up after a lot of searching through our Ham Slam Facebook Group. For context, I started Tyranids over a decade ago in a jungle scheme.   I then started Catachan, continuing that theme.   So when I started Cult, I wanted them to visually tie in with both the Tyranids and the Guardsmen. Sorry for the lack of good unit shots... I couldn't find the photos posted in our Facebook group. I should really start including the unit name when I post photos for future search reference - for example, the caption for the Aberrants below was "me n my mates after a night on the town." Not exactly helpful.   Some Neophytes converted from Chaos Cultists:  An army laid out before battle:

Astra Militarum is in a nice place this edition where it can be integrated into all kinds of different army types.

thesurlyspringKAA posted:Good to hear, thanks! I don’t see this being very competitive. You need more dudes and chimeras are very over costed. Command squads do best with all plasma in my experience. The short range of Melta and not being able to use it if you drop in is just too prohibitive. Lack of screening is going to hurt too. I start every list with a brigade and 3 scout sentinels as a crutch though so I’m pretty biased.

 Finally finished my Krieg Grenadiers last night. That I started with somewhere middle of last year or so before other things got in between.  And yes I know there should be ten of them. The auction I won them off only had nine for some reason. Now I almost want to start working on the infantry squad but I figure I might go crazy painting even more infantry.

Who makes decent 25mm to 32mm base conversion bits? I know some have really bad seams/gaps or are made of crazy smooth paint hating plastic that you need to sand down first, and I'd rather avoid all that mess if I can. Also what up random number of krieg dudes buddy? I like your scheme bruh, reminds me of me
