ineptmule posted:Homeworld 2 was bad? I loved that game. Some of the gameplay was a great update on the original (the complete lack of an AI was a glaring downside), but the story was nonsensical and the writing itself was fanfic levels of hack. It was like night and day compared to the story in Homeworld.

Thundercloud posted:What Admech units are in the Crusade army list books? Do you only get the Admech list in extermination? Each book has an AdMech list larger than the last. Betrayal has the Ordo Reductor with just the Thallax Cohort and named HQ Magos Reductor, plus Land Raider/Avenger/Titans Massacare has the Legio Cybernetica which has Magos Dominus, Enginseers, Myrmidons, Thallax, Castellax, Tech thralls and all the imperial flyers Extermination has the Taghmata Omnissiah is all of the above plus a Magos Prime, a named Arch Magos, Triaros APC, Ursarax, Vorax, Thanatar, Krios tank, Knights Errant+Paladin+Lancer Edit: If you meant the summary books, the Thallax and Castellax appear in The Crusade Army List book, but that's all. I imagine there will be a similar book summarising the Mechanicum and Dark Mechanicum once they're done with both of them. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Jun 27, 2014 |

Hollismason posted:How many more books are in Horus Heresy? From Forgeworld? I read that the next books are going to retread the older legions in order to not get ahead of themselves with not having made everything from the previous books, then they'd be doing a Ad Mech only book at some point. It's supposed to be a set of 9 main books in the end, plus a bunch of the smaller condensed ones for people who just want the lists. The next book is HH4: Conquest, featuring the Sons of Horus, Death Guard, Iron Hands, Salamanders, Imperial Fists, Mechanicum, Dark Mechanicum, Solar Auxilia, Knights, and unspecified Titan Legions. I'd expect a Mechanicum heavy book to be in the last trio, focusing on the war on Mars NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jun 29, 2014 |

I'm bad and I did this using what is basically a ruined cheap brush, the bristles fused into a solid but blunt pseudo pen nib. Used the paint thick, short strokes so I didn't have to repaint over where the paint ran out, and tied not to be too fancy about it.

HiveCommander posted:Can't disagree with you there. There's also the Quad conversion, plus an APC version in both the trike and quad I have a couple of the regular trikes and some grunts from crazy boxes, and between those and buying slightly more Deadzone marauders than I need for that game (including two of these resin bad boys) I'm putting together a neat little 40k Ork army, I think. A Warpath Marauder 1 player box full of grunts and a trike might be the only addition I'd really need. Also have one of these, I think it could be pretty Orky.

Those Mantic things are great, and I have a bunch of them. Mould lines are simply a result of the PVC material, they clean up pretty easily and quickly. I'm a terrible painter and modeler, and mine look like this, someone better than I could easily make them more 40k

SRM posted:Couldn't have said it better myself. I hope some actual ex-GW sculptors come show them how not-40k is done. I like that they stand as a company that can do plastic minis and do an army-scale game to try and match 40k, but I don't like their aesthetics (generally not enough focus, like a cool idea here and there that don't work together) and the material/casting quality is all over the place. Since they're not making not-40k, I'd rather they simply went with the best sculptors, rather than getting the best of the dregs left in the sinking ship because 40k and GW. As it is, they already make plenty of excellent sculpts, they just get ignored by people with GW aesthetic blinders on. More vehicles will be about next year.

Speaking of conversions and counts as, saw this is coming in the future Aside from being easy to Ork up, I forsee a potential line - the Leman Russ already resembles a French BDR G1B, this one is a Matilda II, they should make a KV-1/T-34-85 to go with Vostroyans, an M4 sherman to go with Catachans, and absolutely not make any German tanks for the IG with swastikas on them to use.

SRM posted:I mean, it's meant to be a counts-as Leman Russ. There's even sponson mounting for it. I think a Patton would be better for Catachans, since we didn't use Shermans in Vietnam. Yeah I know it is, it's from Victoria who make all the not-IG, I just thought it was a neat idea with thus far nice execution and figured it was easy to take further. While the Patton is historically suitable to the Catachans and the Sherman isn't, I'm not sure it's as easily turned into a 40k vehicle, which is why I said Sherman. The Patton series are too modern in appearance, IG tanks are all about sponsons, tall slab sides and chunky turrets slammed on top. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Jul 15, 2014 |

The T1 Heavy Tank would certainly suit purposes for an American tank, but they never saw combat and most people have no idea what they are or what they look like, so they won't have the same impact. I guess an M5 Stuart would be flat and distinctive enough. Not the M3 Stuart though. Could always try an M3 Lee, they're goofy enough to be 40k

SRM posted:Kind of a bummer that the new urban Realm of Battle table only has two different tile designs, but they look reasonably neat. Just very, very busy. I like the look of the Forgeworld ones better as they're more understated, but they're hella expensive. A whole board will cost you over $700, and this plastic board is only $330 in comparison. There's always the Secret Weapon Tablescapes Clean and Damaged Urban Streets (about $190 rrp) and Games & Gears Battle Boards 28mm Urban Battlefield (about $90 RRP) if you're looking for something less busy or cheaper, and with 8 clean and 8 damaged 1'x1' and 6 2'x2' unique tile designs respectively.

I didn't back the Secret Weapon one, little too rich for my blood at the time. The G&G ones are definitely for the budget conscious gamer and the detail reflects that in comparison. They were delayed when the floods in the region partially wiped out the Chinese factory they had contracted, which destroyed the pretty transport boxes and damaged a lot of the boards, but I'm looking forward to getting mine soon.
