Gapey Joe Stalin posted:Given that they've been sitting on the plastics from Calth since last year, I wonder if the timing of this release is to try and boost numbers after the apparent failure of AoS. This is pretty much well known. The Calth box game is even some hashed-together last minute bullshit to separate it as a different product (and unattached from Forgeworld/40k core). They can then say, "this year we had a dramatic increase in new releases." Even though AoS is a shitfest. Although I am surprised this came out after the quarter end, however I'm not a financial goon.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Well there was a chunk of loyalist EC led by Saul Tarvitz. Don't know if any made it off Isstvan but since they've been so cagey about Saul's death they might be saving it for a novel with him getting off planet. The original term for shattered legions included not only only the ones on Istvaan V but also among all the legions both loyal and traitor some companies split off. In some cases the Warrior Lodges were able to infiltrate all the legions to a degree. Some loyal legions had companies turn against them. Many of the traitor legions remained loyal. Some vanished, others absorbed into other legions. You had Fallen Dark Angels, 1k sons not on Prospero, task forces for Night Lords, EC, and the like that could have gone either way. There's years where everything was pure bedlam. I'm sure I even read about the most steadfast legions like the SW/UM/IF having some parts break away. I'm almost sure Tarvitz, Garro, and Half-Heard were not the only who didn't turn. I also am fairly sure in the months-long campaign on Istvaan III many of the purged were able to get away. PantsOptional posted:I'm 99% positive that Alpharius and Omegon get called out close to the end as being two separate people who for some reason share the same soul. How that works or how it happened is another question entirely. I like this just as much as the split personality theory. Tbh I like that it's not going to be answered.

SRM posted:I'm personally not a huge fan of the airbrushed greens - the lights, coils, etc. but everything else about those models is baller as hell. To be honest I've seen very, very few successful "light glow" effects done. I'm talking one or two. The only one I remember was on a recent MWG video with a Necron monolith and a single light looked just like an LED had been put in. This is out of hundreds. The intended effect is supposed to be a glow effect but ends up looking like an ugly blotch of bright paint. I saw one a while back where the guy had airbrushed a blue plasma glow over more than a third of his/her fantastically painted mechanicum.

BULBASAUR posted:Start with a Zenithal Prime. Then highlight with white, color in your red, and do your metals. Oil wash everything with a dark brown and then throw some pigments on for the dirt afterwards. It's super super easy to great results on white, but you use a rattelcan or airbrush. If you do this by hand you will hate your life. Thanks I've never used an airbrush. Guess it's a good time to start.

I'm putting together Calth marines, was going for White Scars but gently caress painting white and I don't have an airbrush. Sticking with Thousand Sons. Without any book I have no idea how I want these Calth guys put together. I know they'll probably like the reapers and be more shooty, butt what should I equip the sergeant with? That among other questions.

It is extremely bad now, and I hope a reset like 3rd ed happens. The amount of formations is so numerous that it's completely impossible to track. For example, how many are familiar with Scions of the Ancients? And it's not just formations. GW made a "standard" set of special rules withe the intent to make knowing who has rerolls, FNP, etc much easier only to make it all moot by giving not just specific units/characters a multitude of these rules, but having additional special rules based on formations. When you toss in allies it makes it even worse. Now you can have multiple formations allied with another army with multiple formations, and in addition have special allies that also have their own sets of rules. This allows things to stack in such a ridiculous way that you spend more time trying to figure out what a unit can do than playing. One of the most common things I hear players look back on when reviewing a game is how many special rules they forgot they had. I am ok with formations going so far as to replace the FoC, however they need stop everything right now first. Reset. Make a 7.5th edition. Or even 8th. Who cares. Address the problems with the current system, including D weapons. Create specific game modes- troop heavy traditional, larger scale with flyers/heavies, massive with LoW, then Apoc. Make a single rulebook like 3rd. Drop the FoC and put in formations for ALL armies. Scrap any formations that are unused and evaluate any that are always used. This is now your core. All players need to buy it and that means money for GW. Now comes the new part: Make a single campaign book per year that includes formations for ALL armies, and use this to expand the universe. Also add in Chapter Approved changes based on feedback and. Everyone will buy that book, more money for GW. Now you have a semiannual rule update system across the board, and can add/remove these formations without confusing people. Also, gently caress rerolls and modifiers. Drop all that poo poo. Master crafted weapons and armor get rerolls. Nothing else. Also, stop this ignores cover bullshit. That should only be for scattering indirect fire. Removing cover takes away tactics. e: Sorry, thought I was in the 40k thread. OhDearGodNo fucked around with this message at 23:10 on May 15, 2016 |

I've been airbrushing for a couple weeks now, and so far I have to say stick with Vallejo air paint. I tried Citadel air ironbreaker and it was horribly thin out of the bottle. Also, why the hell would they not put it in a dropper bottle? For mixing, P3 responds well to about a 7:1 mix while GW brush paints are so inconsistent that I couldn't even begin. Anywhere from 10:1 to 20:1. I picked up Createx transparent red since I happened to be at Hobby Lobby and used that in place of Minitaire Ghost blood red (if you haven't figured it out I'm painting 1k Sons) and it's ok. I have all of the models taking a Purple Power bath right now as I was completely unhappy with the job I did and the Minitaire paint will be in this weekend. I'm still using the Masters airbrush but I'm considering upgrading to a Badger Patriot, the brush itself doesn't seem bad however I don't think the trigger stop thing actually does what it's supposed to. No matter how far in or out I have it screwed in nothing changes.

Mango Polo posted:Then yeah totally a trap. The value of a Spartan is already dubious if you're not carrying some amazing super cool unit that will munch whatever it touches, but two of them for BA tacticals? Nein! How did you get the metallic to work so well? I tried 4 different times and failed, finally resorting to a matte finish. All with black base: First attempt: ironbreaker air -> Creatix red transparent. It looked plasti dipped. Second attempt: ironbreaker air with runefang air highlight -> Minitaire Ghost Tint. Too pink. Third attempt: ironbreaker air, single thin coat with Ghost Tint -> Minitaire Ghost Tint. Too red (think Word Bearers) Fourth attempt: ironbreaker air, Forge World I just ended up going with a Khorne red base, Mephiston later and a scarlet red highlight. It looks ok, but nowhere near the effect I wanted. OhDearGodNo fucked around with this message at 11:56 on Jun 27, 2016 |

Mango Polo posted:I think I get the problem you're having. How many coats of clear red are you doing? Thank you for this answer, it clears up a huge amount of missing information, I was treating a "few" as about 3 as opposed to 5-7. Also, I'm a complete idiot for not testing on spoons before painting/stripping my mans several times (thankfully Totally Awesome is gentle) I'm going to mostly use VMA metallics now because the GW ones give me a headache constantly with flow issues. Maybe Steel -> Relictor Gold -> aluminum (or silver?) What's the gold you used on the spoon second from the left with the Angron Red? I like the way the red came out on that one.

Mango Polo posted:Good choice on the VMA, the various silvers/non-gold metals from that line are great. I'd probably go a step darker with Black Metal or Gunmetal, but that just depends on how strong you like the shadows.  Here's the best choice I have for copper. The coat on the spoons is a single coat of the steel- from right to left I have CA Relictor Gold, VMA plain yellow, CA averland sunset, and standard Citadel layer of Auric armor gold. For brass/copper I have all sorts of citadel metallics to mix in. I'll probably get more spoons tomorrow and order VMA gold but that's a 2-day Amazon wait. Honestly I love VMA paint. I've never had a single issue with it like I have with GW's

Mango Polo posted:Yeah don't worry about copper, I just mentioned that one because the Metal Color Gold is green as hell and needs another color to warm it up. The VMA Gold is probably fine.  Yep, it is too light. I don't think I want to mix for this for consistency- I don't have confidence that down the road I'll have it match. I've gone ahead and ordered gun metal and also black metal from Amazon.

They are going into individual boxes on thursday. http://natfka.blogspot.dk/2016/07/this-week-individual-horus-heresy-box.html $40 for 30 Mark IV mens isn't bad, I think on eBay they had recently dropped to about $20 however I'm sure with this news the price is already risen. I have to thank Mango Polo, repainted my Thousand Sons terminators, the rest of the fellowship will have to wait for the Angron Red to make its way over from the UK as I ran out doing test after test- I probably went through about 20 spoons before I finally found the recipe that had the shade I was looking for (metallic, and with the shade as in the HH profile pic but also with a "glow" of copper in direct light) This is after the original attempt, it came out too bright and looked plasti-dipped:  Using Mango Polo's advice (however no copper/gold on mine) this is what I have. It's brighter than the pic, I'll take better ones once I'm done painting them.  e: the recipe- Prime black Airbrush level with VMA Black Metal Zenithal highlight VMA Gun Metal 7 or so coats of FW Angron Red mixed 4:1 2 thin coats Vallejo gloss varnish OhDearGodNo fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Jul 5, 2016 |
