Working on these guys. Other than some places that need cleaning up how should I improve them before I put on the decals?

Whenever I paint bronze I do a double wash of Agrax Earthshade to make it really rich. Try this along with an edge highlight of Runefang Steel to give the metal a bit more depth. Do that on the leather straps as well before building highlights back up with whatever reds you have to give them more depth as well.

Obviously there's basing to be done, and you'll want to do the wash->highlight work on the guns as well so that they don't look like plain metal.

You could also consider some weathering along the edges - scuffing the paint on the boots and along the tops of the shoulders - which will give them some more depth.

I can't decide whether it's better to have the Necron Lord on foot so he can't be shot at or if it would be better to take the Command Barge for the better shooting and extra aura range.

Played my first game of 8th, 100 PL Necrons vs Orks. Fun game but man Necrons feel like it's hard to kill much, at least with the stuff I've got. Lychguard are the shitttttt though.

unfortunately, they look like they're 2x2 and 2x4, respectively. But it gives me hope that they might release a 6x4' mat eventually with the Imperial City design on it.

What prop bets do you guys make in your games? We'll bet on rules disagreements, whether or not a certain unit will die, and who'll take the objective at the end of the game sometimes.

If battle cannons had the basilisk ability where you roll two dice and take the highest I think it'd at least feel a lot better using them.

So, re: blast weapons.

How do you think things went wrong? Not enough playtesting, or maybe a disconnect between how playtest games were played vs average games in the wild? It seems pretty universally believed that they dropped the ball on this one.

Bought some Citadel paints I'm looking forward to trying out. Carroborg crimson to wash my cloths with, dawnstone and tyrant skull for some drybrushing, runefang steel for highlighting, and some vallejo black thick mud paint I'm going to use on my vehicles. The carroborg is looking really nice.

If you can find it, grab some of the Vallejo black lava paint, which is the best basing material on the market. Doing that, then Dawnstone > Blue Wash > drybrush Ushabti Bone makes some great bases if you like an urban theme.

As a non 40k player can someone explain old/new psychic rules to me? I just started with Infinity, and hacking in that feels like the best psychic-wizard rules I've ever seen in a tabletop game.

Casting powers required a 4+ roll for each Warp charge required by the spell. It wasn't too complicated, the problem was randomly generating powers, trap tables, and overly broken powers/casters.

It's simpler now, you just roll 2d6 and compare that to the warp charges of the spell. No more hedging bets by rolling extra dice, which is kind of a bummer because I liked the gambling aspect of casting. Each power can only be attempted once, which keeps you from buffing your whole army.

Started work on my gravis captain to Kantor conversion:



I feel like the pose works better with a banner than a sword honestly, looks like he's rallying troops as is. Also replaced the feeble boltgun on top of the power fist with an actual storm bolter to read properly as Dorn's Arrow.

I shaved off the hood and put the iron halo on the power pack but still not sure if I want to leave the gorget alone or trim it as well. Thoughts?

Cut the pipe down just a little bit, it's too tall. Otherwise this owns.
