Wow, the old Archaon model (horseback) is now 1) quite hard to come by and 2) quite pricey.

What do you guys do to stay focused and finish people? I find that as of late I put a series on Netflix on in the background that I enjoy and have likely seen half a dozen times (Peep show, Inbetweeners) as background noise and set a session goal (Paint all the leather on X dudes, highlight all the X and Y panels, etc).

Problem I still get poo poo done at a snails pace. I genuinely enjoy painting, but when I'm doing it I can't do it for ages because it's like I get mentally fatigued.

It seems all miniatures companies have issues with scale creep.

Also isn't House Escher supposed to be basically the underhive equivalent of Amazons?

Yeah basically. They are warrior women. Like, I have a bunch of metal Eschers - and I love them - only a minor bummer that side by side they will look a little odd. But in a game, Spread out on terrain it'll be alright.

Gotta take into account stances as well, those cultists would be a lot taller if they were standing straight.

See also: Deathwatch marines striding forwards rather than Power Squatting™.

Also Eschers have heeled boots, I'm fairly sure.

The only true bummer is that nu-eschers are definitely bigger than escher-retros.

My favourite thing about the new Eschers is they're burly, like they loving should be. Bravo to GW for the original Eschers (apparently the only company to manage it on their female minis) not sexualising the poo poo out of them, and bravo for these ones too.

I like women that can kick my rear end.

Yeah, getting to play Necromunda (albeit a pared down bite size demo) was a good time. As a classic Necromunda player, I'm pleased. The preview event before it was alright, but letting nerds do a Q&A was and always is a mistake.

Space Wolves Time: I was able to identify about half the pieces in this army using the GW site, however if anyone can help out with some of the pics below, it'd be much appreciated.

Overview:


Close-ups:
Bikers

Dreads

Some sort of HQ models

Special Ops I think

Normal Terminators, or some elite squad?

Special hero dude? (mini is metal)

Squad 1

Squad 2

Squad 3

Squad 4



Once again I appreciate all the help with evaluating/pricing out this stuff. I have to admit going through this process has kind of made me nostalgic for my old 40k stuff.


Man, these are fantastic. Honestly its 99% just new age plastics, not quite as incredible to behold/valued as the Mordians, but it's painted well.

Edit: I was wrong, some of the older 2nd ed metals are in there. Niiice.

I share this dream, but forgeworld dropping some of their models because of poor sales doesn't make me hopeful.

I still stand firmly that the issue wasn't the desire, but the resin Knarlocks.

Also price.

Edit: It mostly annoys me because the Kroot lore of 'They adapt traits of the things they eat' sounds like such a fantastic gimmick to create Beefy Marine-esque Kroot, Lithe+graceful eldar kroot, hulking idiot ork-kroot (I actually converted 3 of these, I am going to dig them out for the sake of showing them here).

I really want more bestial/interesting races in 40k :(

I mean, isn't that kind of the Tyranid gimmick? I wish they'd explore that angle with Genestealers more, too. Even if they don't want giant mixed xeno groups of 'stealers floating around, at least abhuman variants like Ogryn-stealers and Ratling-stealers could be cool.

Similar, but Tyranids are more refined in how it works. Tyranids consume biomass, the great big gooey centre of the Tyranid hivemind basically catalogues DNA and poo poo, and selects the good stuff to make more creatures to fight.

Kroot basically eat something and subsequent generations of Kroot take on the characteristics of what they eat, including the bad parts. They then run the risk of hitting an evolutionary dead end.

Such as Kroot-hounds, a sect of Kroot where lead by their shaper to eat doggos and they accidentally ended up full doggo. But hey, now the Kroot have vicious tracker hounds.

Similar, but subtly different.

Kroot shapers forbid the consumption of anything tainted by Chaos.

Nothing canonically, they seem to have a instinctive repulsion towards Chaos, they can tell something's Chaos-tainted before they accidentally chow down on it.

But then again they're also mercs, wouldn't put it past them to work for some Chaos baddies and whoops there's tentacles coming out my nipples now.

They can be done well, but 99% of people have no idea how to do it. The best ones are like football play analysis, with commentary over that happened in the turn, with some key focus on dice rolls and player reactions.

But, they barely exist, most people are happy to film the grueling amount of pedantry that doesnt make the hobby fun (individually measuring and moving 30 genestealers for 10+ minutes :shepicide: )

I recently bought a house, and the highlight of this new home is that I actually have room to slam hams now. So I am now making wargaming terrain to play with.

So, I bought these amazing circular moss/grass 'mats' from a business closing down for dirt cheap, with the intention of using them for wargaming in some way. I forgot to take actual photos of them prior to this post, but here are some photos of me using them as Sylvaneth Wildwoods in an AOS game:


Only now I am loving stumped as to HOW to use them. The other page you guys were talking cool terrain ideas and poo poo, does anyone have some cool ideas I can unashamedly steal to use these? They are flexible, flocked with bright green static grass stuff and seem to be made out of a soft circle of ...fuzz?

What the gently caress do I do with them?!?

Not even in the surface level 'i know a guy who bought all recasts and they are lighter and smell like burning dogshit' commentary? Shame, I'm mostly wondering if it's really that prolific. I know a guy with a lot of resin, and I don't trust his collection at all. He is quick to assemble and basecoat stuff, and I suspect it's shonky.

How could I tell without checking his PayPal transactions?
