Assuming you're shaking it up enough, how much are you putting on? For the necrons a couple of pages back I applied it straight from the pot to the base. You want a pretty generous covering as it seem to produce bigger cracks where more of the paint is pooled, so mix up how much is on each area of the base.

Has anyone here used or played against Necron Acanthrites? They seem like a pretty cool unit and I'm always happy to add more Canoptek stuff to my collection but it'd be interesting to see if they play like hot garbage.

Proletariat Beowulf posted:OH JESUS GOD GOONS WHAT HAVE I DONE You've got the makings of a pretty decent Decurion there. You can group the Warriors, Immortals, Lychguard and Monolith into a Reclamation Legion (all you require to make it legal is an Overlord and 3 Tomb Blades) which is the Core formation. Add a Doomsday Ark to the two Annihilation Barges and that nets you an Annihilation Nexus and pick some Wraiths and a Spyder to add to the Scarabs for a Canoptek Harvest formation. Outside of that, you can supplement units with Night Scythes and Ghost Arks as you see fit. The Deathmarks can be run as their own formation as part of the Decurion detachment too. As for what are "must-haves", I don't really play my Necrons competitively so can't help other than saying Wraiths are ridiculously good (and more so if you use the Canoptek Harvest to get them Reanimation Protocols and keep them alive even longer).

Would make sense. They're supposed to be pretty new and rare and only used when absolutely necessary from what I remember of the fluff, which of course translates to "take at least 2 all the time" currently. They'll have strength D markerlights.

Definitely agree on the formation stuff. I ran a Decurion formation for the first time yesterday using a Reclamation Legion of two units of 10 Warriors, 10 Immortals in a Night Scythe, 3 Tomb Blades and the Overlord as well as 5 Lychguard. Just to run the basic Core formation is expensive but very worth it for the extra chance of successful Reanimation Protocol rolls. The Canoptek Harvest unit is crazy powerful with the ability to use RP on Canoptek stuff. Funnily enough I played against a friend's Eldar using the new book yesterday and while he doesn't have the force he wants to run yet, it was interesting. Lack of D weapons and Jetbikes so can't really judge but Wraithknight being a GC is painful for sure. I sat there crossing my fingers every time he rolled the Stomp attacks against my Nightbringer shard (which was awesome. Gaze of Death is not to be messed with.) since a 6 just removes it from play. Was still a pretty epic fight though. Wave Serpents definitely aren't as nasty as they used to be but can still put out a decent amount of firepower.

Hollismason posted:Deathmarks special ability at wounding always on a 2+ when they arrive from deep strike is probably going to be coming in handy in the future. Yeah definitely. I reckon it's going to have to be a squad of 10 to maximise potential rending wounds, plus increased probability of them failing saves. Tomb Blades are really fun to use. I ran mine with Nebuloscopes and Particle Beamers and they tore through the Eldar troop units.

PierreTheMime posted:The fact that hurling a Wraithlord hurts more than a Trygon or other relatively gigantic MCs is pretty funny (though mechanically it would be difficult to make to flow and smoother and make sense). Wraithbone is heavy stuff, I suppose. More than a Land Raider as well.

AbusePuppy posted:I am willing to lose the lovely deflect rule they had in exchange for an upgrade to a 3++ and a 15pt-per-model price drop. Oh totally, it's just a bit of a shame to see a quirky rule that produced some amusing moments taken out only to be given to the new shiny army is all. On the new models, I really don't think the paint job does them any favours. They're pretty flat compared to the rest of the AdMech stuff and while I get that they're trying to say "Hey guys! It's totally like that model from before!" the lack of any other colour to break up the red makes them look pretty plain and boring.

TKIY posted:What the hell is happening, this thread is suddenly good?! Lictors are still my favourite Tyranid unit. I've got the second ed book purely for the random stories like the one about an Imperial commander opening the blast doors into a compound because a Magus got into his head but my personal favourite is the story about the jungle patrol being picked off by a Lictor. Anyone designing rules for the Lictor should read that bit of fluff before they do anything else.

They specifically called that out in the old Necron FAQ with regards to the Lychguard's dispersion shields. They said you couldn't deliberately use the 4++ to get the bouncy shield effect if the attack allowed the 3+ to be used. I realise how it is with wording and what not but it's at least useful for a guideline.

Oh I get that, but it seems like an example of how they might call out that you must use the 3+ unless it gets bypassed in which case you can use the 4++.

Not done any hobby in ages so was ill-prepared for the trip to Warhammer World last weekend. Got a couple of cool pictures of my stuff on a cool board though, which was nice.  I also caved in and bought this thing. It's loving awesome. Will post some more pictures when it's done. Feels good to be hobbying again.

The Relic Contemptor is a great model to paint. I wanted it to be a veteran of the Raven Guard who moved over into the Raptors successor chapter way back when so I added some little details like a Raven Guard symbol showing behind some battle damage where it had been resprayed. Found a better picture with another loadout. Anyway that's enough image spam from me. Those jetbikes are looking awesome. Really liking the basing technique as well. The cobblestones look great.

A nice trick with white is to use something like Ulthuan Grey as the base layer with a white highlight rather than going fully white as the base.

I always figured the Ork -> Biovore connection was linked to the fact that Orks shed spores to make more Orks, hence the Biovore was made to fire much larger and more destructive spores.

Fellow goons, I'm having a clear out of stuff and have come to the sad realisation that I'm never going to get round to doing much with my rather large Necron army, so would like to find it a good home. I'd like to try and ship out as much of it as possible in one go but can split stuff up if necessary. PM me if there's any interest and I'll provide a full inventory of super cool robots.

SRM posted:This is my philosophy for gaming in general. I've had a blast playing my Orks and Stormtroopers and 90s Ultramarines even though they're far and away from being really competitive choices. You've gotta paint all these little dudes, they better be dudes you enjoy painting. When are you there? Going to be there with some friends over the weekend (16th-17th) and would be awesome to see your Ultras and feel sad that my Raptors are nowhere near finished.

Shame you guys weren't there this weekend. Managed to get away without spending too much money and had some pretty fun games, the highlight being my Terminators ruining a Knight's shins with Thunder Hammers and it falling over onto a bunch of Skitarii. Managed to get a shot of my own Knight on the Spyral Prime board. Shame about the mismatched base; obviously the snow elsewhere had melted...
