My friend is sending me his necrons from the box and I am straight up, wholesale, stealing this scheme. Weirdly, it will match the nid scheme I almost have hammered out.

Feel free, I stole it from someone else.

The paint scheme has evolved a little, and it's looking good! I need to clean up the paint a little though.

Got all the arms painted up, but too tired to fight with getting them all assembled tonight, so I'm just posting one finished one plus the scarabs. Progress!

I hope you kept track of which arms go with which models because there is a specific set for each, and they are not very interchangeable. I made a mistake assembling a set and only noticed after it was glued together, so I have two wonky warriors with oddly-positioned arms.

I did not, but I fumbled around until I got stuff that worked. Next time I will know better. Also, arms need to go in before the chest is glued on. Doh!

It takes me 5 hours (of waiting) to resin print a unit of 10 ork boyz. Another hour to clean them all. Total material cost? Maybe $3 for the lot.

Yes, it takes some effort but you get cool unique looking models.

I have an Elegoo Mars Pro resin printer - I used it for the unicycle ork I posted a few pages back.

Auto-support software is improving, it only takes me a few minutes per part to get it all nicely done.

3D printed stuff is either low detail or fragile. or am i wrong?

Wrong on both counts these days. I had a model knocked onto the floor from 5ft up, it came out undamaged. Brittle resins exist, but you have to go out of your way to buy one.

If you're a furry that's basically the equivalent of an anime figurine. I think it's something you're either wired for or you're not.

Except the character is obviously of age, so it's actually better than a lot of anime figurines.

Well obviously if you are part wolf you mature faster physically, so she's really only 13.Please do not ban me over this joke

I want a story about a male alien race with built in battle-heels that makes fun of human men for their pathetic wimpy calves, and the day is saved in the end by strippers and drag queens, whom the aliens are impressed by and acknowledge as equals.

This ushers in a new era of prosperity between our peoples, but a few ankles may be harmed along the way.

Fun fact, I was living in California in the home of modern surfing (Santa Cruz) when I made the Surf Boyz. I just wanted a fun alternative to Storm Boyz, and Orks on anti-grav surfboards seemed appropriate.

My main question is - are they GOOD dropper bottles. Because I loving hate how paint clogs up most dropper bottles - I'm in the process of moving most of my paints into clear "essence" bottles with suction droppers just so I stop having to break my in-the-zone state to clean yet ANOTHER dropper so I can get three drops of a color out of it.

(The horse dong defender has logged on) Yes, all warhorses are stallions. Horse dong is part of a stallions general shillouette.

Most warhorses were gelded. Stallions are a pain to control if there are mares in heat anywhere nearby.

Gonna give all my knights hot lady horses so enemy cavalry will be too horny to fight properly, like a Tex Avery cartoon

You joke, but that was a legitimate tactic when dealing with knights who thought that stallions were a good idea.

To be a peasant soldier fighting in the mud and the muck and getting to witness a moment when that happens.

One of the biggest historical moments I know of where it happened was during the Mongol invasions of eastern europe - the mongols favored small nimble ponies, usually mares. The heavy cavalry they went up against were made mostly of nobles, who largely favored "the biggest horse" and the end result was that their cavalry charges kept falling apart as the stallions would either fight each other for dominance, or they would break ranks to go chasing after the mares they could smell.

Tau have no warp presence, so it's very hard for chaos to latch onto them - since Farsight was literally right in front of them and carries a potential chaos artifact, that might bypass the "can't find them" issue for warp energy.
