Finally finished rebasing everything to match on 32mm bases (with the exception of the storm raven, waiting on a new base from ebay so I don't have to scrape it off). The primaris models are really nice to paint, and the new transfers are much easier to use than the old ones (this may in part be because they aren't 10+ years old). I'm about to go to the store and hopefully play my first game in years.

Got to play my 2nd game of 8th last night. Spent way too much time trying to reference things and forgetting auras, so I made this PDF of all the auras, weapons and unit stats I'm likely to use (for blood angels). Figured I'd share here for anyone who might find it useful. http://docdro.id/jX9TlyY

Zark the Damned posted:Well you see GW has to take some units out to compensate for all the unique units BA get. You can't just have all the base SM stuff and add all the special snowflake stuff on top of it, that'd just be silly. Reminder: the blood angels army that's all about jump packs and flyers and got the stormraven first can't use either the stormhawk or stormtalon. I'm betting that as soon as the space marine codex drops i'll be running generic "red marines" because we'll be even more screwed. From the battlereport they streamed on twitch on friday, intercessors came in 10 man squads and inceptors in 5 man squads. Somehow I'm doubting blood angels will get either of those, or the other new primaris stuff since GW said that we're supposed to keep using the index until our codex releases.

JoshTheStampede posted:Except intercessors and inceptors are both on the BA list, and you always use the most recent version of a data sheet. So BAs will use the codex Intercessors when the codex drops. Not actually true, unless I'm completely misreading this: If I have a Blood Angels, Dark Angels or Space Wolves army, will I need to buy Codex: Space Marines to use my army? You don’t have to. Other Space Marines factions not covered in the new codex will continue to use all the datasheets, rules and points values in the index until their own codex is released. Rules for new models not covered in the index (like the upcoming Redemptor Dreadnought) will be available in the box with the model and matched play points for these units will be made available online. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/07/05/codexes-your-questions-answered-july-5gw-homepage-post-2/

New Blood Angels from me. The tanks were my first try pre-shading, and when I was putting the basecoat on I was too cautious of not covering over the shading and missed some of the undersides. Not too bothered since you can't see it on the table.

I can't decide if I love these guys because of how much character they have, or hate them because of how much fiddly detail every single one has. Looking forward to painting some primaris without a billion skulls and ropes and blood drops next.

GW updated the primaris points PDF, screwing blood angels yet again. We can't take power swords on intercessors, but can take a chainsword. And we can add the new non-primaris lieutenants to the list of things (contemptor dreads, cataphractii and tartaros terminators, non-stormraven fliers, land speeder storm, centurions) that we inexplicably can't take. I know everyone else is waiting for their codexes too, but it really feels bad to see the other marines getting toys that we can't use. I'm getting closer and closer to running mine as generic red marines for the next few months. https://www.games-workshop.com/reso...4_July_29th.pdf

Does anyone else feel like the sicaran venator is a bit overpowered? I just had a game where it knocked 12 wounds off a storm raven turn 1 and spent the next 3 turns 1-shotting a razorback every turn. My opponent didn't have much on the way of antitank, but it felt really powerful.

Does anyone here actually know what points cost I use for a power fist in a blood angel army? GW has said that I can use codex space marines datasheets for any units that I can take off the SM index, but they haven't clarified anywhere what set of points to use for them. Since C:SM supersedes the space marines datasheets and points list from the index, and is the newest set of points for that equipment, it makes sense to me to use the points from the codex, but people on bolter&chainsword claim that since we're not a codex chapter we don't use those points values, just the datasheets.

So uhh aggressors are really good. 3 guys, standing next to a captain, evaporated ~10 death company in a single round of shooting twice in a row. Not sure if the aggressors are amazing or my opponent was an idiot for dropping 2x15 death company out in the open, whiffing their charges, and having his only antitank be a single missile launcher in 2000 points.

I own a bunch of them (kr multicase) with custom foam for my poo poo. Works really well, I've never had a broken part or chipped paint (except 1 assault marine completely incapable of keeping his jump pack on). The only real downside I see to them is that they're fairly bulky and if you have a lot of vehicles they take up a ton of space, but that's probably true for anyones cases.

I know that they have trays that fit smallboys for both the 25 and 32 mm bases but those aren't really cut for bigly height. I put my aggressors in a terminator tray, but my normal hellblasters/intercessors fit nicely in an N4H or N3H tray (https://www.krmulticase.com/product/trays/N3H). The N4H is a little bit short so the front rim of the base sticks up, but that doesn't seem to be an issue.

Too many words, not enough pictures. Blood angel poo poo I've finished recently. The decals on the repulsor are a little hosed. I didn't get a good enough gloss coat on before putting the decals on. Oh well, at 350 points I don't know how often I'll be fielding it.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Do you have any guides or suggestions for us peons who don't do this for a living? Any entry level gear or stuff that would go a long way towards making good pics? A real camera with manual controls, a tripod, and a grey card (https://www.amazon.com/Anwenk-Balance-Exposure-Photography-Calibration/dp/B01DPV5PUA) is the most important thing. If you've got that, you can use window light and a long exposure and get a great result. The GW guide (https://www.warhammer-community.com/2016/11/13/the-model-photo-how-to-photograph-models-for-display/) is actually not bad. Make sure to check your camera manual for how to use the grey card to set your white balance, it's absolutely key to getting color accurate photos. Whether you follow GWs tutorial or mine, turn off any lights in the room you're in. They're probably lower quality and coming from a bad direction, so will contaminate the shot. To try to match me: Get the camera as low as you can. No, lower. The closer you can get it to level with the base the more heroic they'll look. Get a roll of paper (either black or white or both, depending on what you want) https://www.amazon.com/HEWLETT-PACKARD-HPQ1396A-HP-UNVRSL-PAPER/dp/B008AUFFKW If you want the reflection, get a sheet of acrylic from your local plastic supplier. In Seattle and apparently Portland and a fair bit of California I'd use Tap Plastics. Thin is fine. If you tell them what you're doing with it they'll usually know what you want. For the main light (behind the camera, maybe a little bit offset to the right) you want something as big as you can get. Easy way to do that is to get something like this(https://www.amazon.com/Woods-0151-150-Watt-8-5-Inch-Reflector/dp/B000HHQ94C), put the brightest/highest CRI daylight bulb you can find in it (something like https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/114155/LED-00863.html, I think a par30 will fit in that fixture), put it a few feet behind the camera, and then a sheer curtain (something like $5 for a pair at ikea) in between immediately behind the camera. This'll get you most of the way there, then just add another of those fixtures with a less bright bulb and a narrower beam (maybe this one https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/117795/LED-01639.html) behind and to the left. Throw a folded piece of printer paper as a reflector on the immediate right side and you're as close to there as I think you'll get. Just take it into photoshop, deepen the blacks on the background a little bit, clean up dust and you're done. A final thought, instead of those nice LED bulbs if you can still get incandescent bulbs they'll work perfectly, by definition an incandescent or halogen bulb has a CRI of 100. Never use fluorescent, they're universally garbage and should be relegated to the trashheap of history.

Safety Factor posted:The red is fantastic, but I'm going to be honest here: I think the lack of highlights on details like the gold is holding the models back. Gold really benefits from a two step highlight with a lighter gold and bright, bright silver on the sharpest edges. Give it a shot. Critique is the entire reason I post poo poo. It's already gotten an auric highlight (I think), but I'll go in and tap edges with a little bit of mithril when I get home

Slap some microset on that area and keep the brush moist with it while you position the decal. Carefully dry it with a paper towel. Wait a few minutes, slap some microsol over. Let it dry, repeat until there are no wrinkles. Varnish over.

Zuul the Cat posted:How compatible are 30k and 40k models? Can you run some of the cool rear end dreads, like the Leviathans, in 40k? Yes, the FW bok Index: forces of the adeptus astartes has rules for various contemptors, the leviathan, the deredo, and the chaplain dread. My leviathan dread has been doing so well in 40k I'm considering not running it even though I love the model. For 360 points it will remove any tank/elite infantry squad it gets within charge range of, and with t8, 14w, a 2+ save and a 4+ invuln it doesn't have any issue getting there. Of course, this might be because my store (mox in Bellevue for seagoons) seems mostly filled with people just getting started and having little/no anti-tank, so a couple dreads/tanks just walk all over their armies.

Pendent posted:I'm told the other missions for Konor have been similarly un-fun. How would you like a mission where you deploy across the short edges, the defenders (imperium) get VPs for killing things and bonus VPs for killing with a vehicle, and the attackers get VPs for killing or getting things off the board, with bonus VP if they get a vehicle off the board? I played a couple games of it with my blood angels and trivially won all but 1. The one game I lost the guy ran 3x devilfish, each with 2 squads inside, and 4 hammerheads. Since they have fly I couldn't block them or anything and he got too many off the board for me to ever come back from by turn 3. The other games I won because dreadnoughts are vehicles and for all the people just starting with 8th they mostly don't have any vehicles or antitank, so they could neither quickly cross the board or kill dreads. While I think the campaign is somewhat interesting, I think the missions they're coming up with have been fairly bad, especially if they want to use the campaign to hook the people who bought dark imperium. This week's mission isn't as bad in comparison as last I don't think, but next week will probably have special rules/strategems for flyers and fast attack, and the week after that for lords of war/terrain, so they're probably going to end up terrible.
