As a primarily harlequin player, I'm thinking of branching out into some craftworld/dark eldar goodness. Doesnt seem too beneficial to lock in as harlequin keyword only right now. Any idea where to start? I bought a FW Wraith Knight last month because I thought it would be cool to paint, so may use that as a starting point (even if theyre tons of points). Do you think adding more Wraith stuff would be worth it? I hear Ravagers are real good for their points now?

I got a pretty itchy trigger finger for some new Forge World toys, but I don't know what to get. In a 2k game, I'm going to probably be running at least 1000 points of harlequins (shadowseer, solitaire, troupes in starweavers). I want to add some beef and some long range guns, but seems like just about every eldar and dark eldar FW toy is capable of doing that. Any FW suggestions for long range punch to compliment some clowns?

I probably already know the answer to this, but do any goons have extra Dark Eldar Kabalite Warrior Blaster arms and/or Reaver helmets? Every bite store seems to be out of stock and just about every DE player at least wants as many Blasters as they can get.

What can and should I actually equip him and build him out with? Agoniser and Blast Pistol seems solid to me.

I have no idea how anyone can paint such beautiful Harlequins. Thanks doods. A lot of people use vinyl stencils for their diamonds, but those work much better with an airbrush. I don't own one, so my diamonds and gradients are all free hand. Honestly, you just have to go for it. Do them a few times and they'll look like mine. And mine are no where near as perfect as a stencil.

I bought into alderi when 8th first came out. I grabbed up a bunch of Harlequins, a Tantalus, and some CWE wraith Bros. Before all the codex started coming out it was real easy to play all of them together. Now that codex are out, how do I run them? I want to run mostly Harlequins using the new codex with CWE and/or DE fire support. So, to do this I need a detachment of Harlequins which only contains models and rules from that codex, then I can run a separate detachment for either CWE or DE? If that's how it works, do the CWE or DE get all the rules and attributes within those codex, or are they limited to whatever aelderi is?

I want the Magus, Patriarch, and genestealer to be pretty close together. Primus will drop with the Aberrants. Everything else deploys normally with the Acolytes taking the Chimera. Am I doing it kind of right?

Proletariat Beowulf posted:Your Acolyte Hybrids generally want larger squads because otherwise you're Cult Ambushing to give up First Blood if you charge with more than one of them at a time. Also, the Heavy Rock Saw is pretty much the best pick for them, since it doesn't have -1 to hit and is cheaper than the Cutter. The only other deal is that Aberrants aren't going to swing for any targets against which the Primus himself would be effective--I found a mite more success throwing him in with Acolytes and using the Strategem on the Aberrants to get them where they're going. I was thinking to put the Acolytes in the Chimera, but some more bodies couldn't hurt. Good to know on the saw/cutter. Must have gotten the names mixed up. And I was putting the Primus with the Aberrants to counter balance the Hammers - 1 to hit.

Proletariat Beowulf posted:Honestly making the Primus boost the Aberrants is leaning in hard to ensure they fuckin stomp whatever you throw them at--only 2A apiece, so it's not a bad idea at all, especially given how many times they've failed to do it for me. Acolytes don't tend to do whatever it is most troops do so much as mulch targets, be they vehicles or elite troops, so I never felt the inside of a Chimera was for them. Gotcha. You think I should swap out the Chimera for a Rock Grinder, or bump up the numbers in the Acolytes? I'm leaning towards Rock Grinder just for more model diversity.

The first round of drybrush and wash is like the weathering shadows and the drybrush post washes is imitating weathering highlights. I think edge highlighting defeats the point because the tutorial is probably geared towards painters not confident enough in edge highlighting or think it takes too long.

Sorry if this gets asked a bunch, but what are the "elite" low model count / high point cost army prospects for non-imperium forces? I'm not really digging primaris, custodes, GK, and the bunch. The only thing my 5th edition brain can think of is chaos knights? What else, tho?

Thanks for the suggestions on the last page. I'm not interested in being super competitive, but all the wraiths look dope and I actually own a wraithseer already so, how does this look? ++ Supreme Command Detachment +1CP (Aeldari - Craftworlds) [47 PL, 710pts] ++ + No Force Org Slot + Craftworld Attribute: None (Mixed Detachment) + HQ + Farseer [6 PL, 115pts]: 0.

I'm currently thinking of using the reroll 1s to wound custom craftworld.

Strobe posted:You can use both that and Wrath of the Dead to reroll loooots of wounds on Wraiths, which looks like most of your list one way or another. You mean use Expert Crafters on the detachment with the lords and Wrath of the Dead on the wraithguard detachment, or you can have both rules on a single detachment? Also, if I use Expert Crafters with the lords, would it be better to splurge for brightlances since the reroll will mean a lot more than rerolling a shuriken cannon?

The custom Craftworlds Attribute, Wrath of the Dead, states When resolving an attack made by a WRAITH CONSTRUCT with this attribute, reroll a wound roll of 1. I've had it explained to me from the internet because it says "a wound", it's referring to a single dice, but I've seen 2 or 3 batreps that interpret it to be all wound rolls of a 1. I'm in the thinking its referring to all wound rolls of 1, but wanted to double check the consensus here.

Most of the point increases are really just to give them buffer room to make changes later. From what I remember, correct me if I'm wrong, GW doesn't really adjust models rules once a codex drops, but with Chapter Approved making bad models cheaper is all they're willing to do. So if everything starts high they can figure out which models suck and sell you a book that makes them still suck, but less points.

Somberbrero posted:Can you tell me what your process was? I've been thinking about white Necrons and that's pretty cool. For the whites I built it up using Celestial Grey and Ulthuan Grey. For the chips, I used a darkish brown and sponged it on using a piece of pluck foam then did Apothecary White all over then highlighted some edges with white. Kitchner posted:Did you paint the blade by hand or with and airbrush? If it's by hand what technique did you use? For the blade, I based white then used Warp Lighting pushing it in opposite directions on the blade. Applied 3 or 4 layers until it couldn't get any more green then a bit of nuln oil at the very end to darken. The other end is a couple layers of yellow ink blended into the green and finished with ivory edge highlights.

Sab669 posted:I don't know what Alokgen is referring to about thumbnails, so yea I just go to imgur.com/upload and drop my file. A couple years back, the layout was different. Instead of today's "Gallery" you used to have "Images" that would just lump everything you uploaded into one place. If you clicked on an image it would give you different urls for resizing of the images. So if I uploaded something 4000x3000 and wanted to post it here, it would get set to being maybe 1000x700 or something then I could use the [timg] tags in addition to that. Without that option, I'm just using the [timg] tags at full resolution.

I don't think I'm there yet but I learned a lot and I can see how to improve at least. Thanks for your advice! The ivory highlights make an amazing difference. You're on the right track. Darken the ends of the green area (I used a bit of nuln oil) and it'll bump up the contrast. Also on the bottom blade, you want the gradients to be going in opposite directions.

I know sticky tack gets plenty of use for repairs and covering for painting but has anyone used it in this situation? Am I risking pulling primer off when I go to de-assemble? When I do sub assemblies, I use blue tac to keep my sub groups stuck to the spray surface so they don't fly away and over the connection points so I don't have to glue two pieces together covered in primer. You shouldn't run into any issues when removing the tac. Just leave it on till the primer completely dries.
