That's some nice gold and smooth crests. Some sisters of silence. I may try to get pictures of them on some nice scenery tomorrow if some for the OP are needed:   Also need some touchups. I forgot how much the camera brings out every flaw. Edit: Also for bronze, I prefer a red or purple shade to a brown one. gives it more color imo.

Moose-Alini posted:Got a citadel color suggestion for that? I hate brass scorpion and warplock bronze. They are way too close to the golds. I have been using hammered copper from vallejo as my base, with bright bronze on top. As a wash, I go with a reikland fleshshade equivalent, or just purple paint diluted with water and glaze (Lahmian) medium. In GW paints, that's probably balthasar gold for the base, though it's not nearly as nice and rich and red as hammered copper is. Then, for the shade, Reikland Fleshshade or druchii violet. Then a highlight of golden griffon or liberator gold. The difference between gold and brass or copper is fairly subtle, and you can use almost the same paints with different amounts of subtlety and washes to get different effects. Our lord and savior Duncan has a tutorial on purplish bronze. I went for a more reddish color with mine, but that's really just swapping out the wash color and intensity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96RYPJIbJ_k

The Sex Cannon posted:I said I'd try to organize it, so here we go: Ouch, Huzzah's pretty out of the way for me (To the tune of an hour and a half, though my usual store (Games and Stuff in glen burnie) is 50-60 minutes away since I live in Southern Maryland. I could make it over, but not really a regular thing. Dream Wizards seems a bit more managable a drive. Of course, there are probably more NOVA goonhams than Southern Maryland ones. Since I can't really provide a place to play, I will extend an open offer to bring over some booze or buy some pizza for anything I can make it to at someone's house. Goons east of the beltway and annapolis area or further south especially welcome. On a related note, how is the GW Store at Bowie? I heard it got shrunk down massively and is only 2 tables now or something, but that comes from someone who has written off all orks as horrible trash after playing three games with them, so I'm not sure how much I can trust his opinions on things being terrible.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Sup fellow Southern MD Goonham! I live in Waldorf. The Sex Cannon can attest that I am not a murderer. It's mostly that I live closer to Annapolis than you do. About the same distance to Bowie, though. I'm in Owings, right on Route 2. 2 may only be 2 lanes, but it goes pretty much straight to annapolis and is almost never congested, and then 97 moves really quickly outside of rush hour. If you ever want to get a game in, be it at bowie or otherwise, my schedule is reasonably open. I pretty much can't do jack on a work day, but I have days off during the week fairly often and can play whenever on those, in addition to weekends. If you want, I can PM you my facebook or whatever so we don't poo poo up the thread too much.

Snidesworth posted:Agreed. It feels strange that something that used to put down a pie plate now has the same number of shots as a frag missile. Yeah, I think the two layers of random just feels kinda rough for something that doesn't really knock it out of the park even when it hits. It used to be a pretty good bet you'd get at least a hit or two, but now it's super easy to get jack poo poo. And a 6 on your 'scatter' only means you get an average of 3 hits from what's effectively half a krak missile.

The Sex Cannon posted:In the future, let me know when you're painting and I'll make sure to fit the podcast to your busy schedule! :v I can vouch that Games and Stuff is an AMAZING store. Plenty of (great) terrain, great (and plenty of) staff, and they've got... 4 6x4 tables, 5 4x4s, and a bunch of boards that can be put out on the normal tables to provide additional minis space if there's room there. Saturdays can be busy, but I've never had much trouble finding room to play. No events on the 15th either from what I can see. That said, I'm good with whatever venue for a one off event. And north baltimore isn't too bad. Recurring makes it harder to manage a distance away though. Felime fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Jun 27, 2017 |

ANAmal.net posted:Games and/or Stuff is a solid store, but I'm good with hosting since I won't have to go anywhere and also we can get trashed. July 15th, then? Once we have an invite list together I can PM people the address, but like I said, north of Baltimore, just off of of 795. A table would be a good thing to bring along, if you have one - I have a 4x6 and a 4x8, and I can borrow enough terrain from ShadowDaesh to populate a third, but I don't have enough actual literal tables. Worst-case I'll just buy a folding table, I guess. Warning: I will try to pet your cats a cupola times and therefore may get blood on your things. I have some of the sector imperialis stuff unassembled I can try to get together and bring over if you need terrain.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Received an Ork Warboss on Bike. Had a busted part. Called FW requesting a replacement for the part. GW Prime do this too, at least for finecast as it's all one sprue. I had some bubbling on the eye and face of one of my death cult assassins and they are just sending another one (as soon as it comes back in stock from the UK). I imagine if there was a serious defect on a plastic kit, as rare as that is, it's cheaper to just put in an order in their system for a full new kit as opposed to having a mechanism in place to pull partial kits. I had some Kasrkin parts missing when I did a special order, and they just sent the parts, but that was all special order and manual packing to start with, so it wasn't really a change. No clue how it works with the few metal models they have still, but I imagine they probably just send a new kit for in stock stuff.

I mean, it covers the basic weapon options well without cluttering up the rules. Seraphim can use pistols akimbo. Marines can have a bolter and pistol can't fire both, and models with a bunch of weapons like vehicles or crisis suits can fire them all without an exception

Skails posted:Your custodes look sharp. How are you painting the white armor? Looks cool! Anyone else get a good white armor formula? Generic version: Bone washed with agrax earthshade, then everything but the recesses redone with bone. Specific: Golden High Flow Acrylic 'Titan Buff' airbrushed(for convenience mostly) on over white primer, then washed with agrax earthshade. Then retouched with Golden Fluid Acrylic Titan Buff. The high flow acrylics are a wee bit too runny to use with a brush unless you're just doing an undercoat as they get a bit hard to control. You'd have to experiment a little with other bone colors, but it should work fine. Titan Buff is just a nice warm cream color I like for this. (Plus I work across the street from an art store most days, so I can get artist paints quicker than model paints, and I love the golden high flow ones for airbrushing.

Ahahahaholyshit that's absurd. Like, I get that single character molds are expensive and may only have limited sales because people don't buy multiples of them, but $45 for one model is dumb. If only there were some other material they could forge their models out of. Perhaps metal or non lovely resin? No, that's what's truly absurd, nothing but plastic as far as the eye can see!

So I have a great use for ratlings. A squad of them plus a few sentinels can really cut down on deep strike shenanigans. Infantry guard can really saturate their deployment zone and on some maps you can deny a lot of area with a scout move and late setup outside your zone, at least for turn 1 charges

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Specifically the unit has to be 100% within a piece of cover-granting terrain to receive cover. The game defines "within" as "touching". This is compared to "wholly within" which means no part of the model may be outside the region, such as being wholly within 3" of a transport when disembarking. and does anyone have a good way to keep them from swiveling? Someone had a similar setup, but they seemed to twirl all over at the slightest provocation. Without special materials, my best thought is to drill in, mount a bit of nail in there, then mount the magnet sideways on the flight stand so it goes into a little greenstuffed 'slit' so that it can't swivel side to side.

Ratlings are great for their points. Not always useful, but they can take out the occasional support char. Even if they don't they draw hate and the 9 inch bubble of no deep strikes can be pivotal. Scions are brutal but fragile. I have been running 2 squads and a prime in every guard game so far. Placement is huge and having somewhere to drop them where they can't be killed but you can get the most out of them can win the game. Probably not worth delaying coming in if you size but I've been considering the possibility. For any goons in Baltimore I will be at games and stuff today. Look for the tall dude with a ponytail wearing a red t shirt and playing patchwork looking guard most likely

The Bee posted:They mentioned special abilities, plural, so I doubt this is everything. I'm hoping they get a Lictor style ambush, personally. If you take out the support guard crumble to morale fairly fast. I think a lot of armies can be but most of them have ways to mitigate it. Creates some interesting counterplay I think. Snipers targeting commissars and officers are terrifying to a guard player.

(I will probably bring 2000pts ish of guard and poo poo to cover my bases, but I'm totally cool with 1k, 1500, 1337, or however many points people want to play. I don't plan on getting too drunk, but I'm still going to premake some lists. Otherwise I'm likely to make massive errors in adding poo poo up.)

First DC/Baltimore HAMSLAM was a great success. Met some cool goons and played some cool hams. Imperial guard remain ridiculous. Highlights include tons of dick jokes, me learning not to set beer bottles on the table, and anamal.net continuing to pound drinks as the rest of us were sobering up to drive home and shouting obscenities at everyone. Overall, an excellent slam.
