Old world xpost Exactly one month ago today a friend asked me if I wanted to play some Old World, it seemed neat and he had found his old minis deep in his basement. I replied that sadly I did not have a Old World army. Since then I have painted many dwarves.

Issaries posted:Yeah. I think the one mistake I made is that the Longbeards are kinda flat because they don't have the yellow beards to contrast with the purple. I should probably have worked some gold in there by giving them gold trimmings. I just might go back and do that.

Color scheme thoughts: I'm getting back into painting by just doing a single kill team of Marines. I've committed to base colors for now, but I'm thinking on weapons in particular and bouncing between a few thoughts. Already established, roughly:

Posted in the Malifaux thread, and I think I posted some old pics of Euripides / Thoon back in the old thread, but too bad! Working on taking better pictures; trying to get good lighting and focus stacking like a non-idiot (which is hard because I'm an idiot)

  Wip of my happy Plague Marine Kill Team leader. I loved this Blightlord model and decided that since, according to a Reddit post, these guys effectively have 18+ wounds, a Terminator model would be appropriate. The old school Berserker plasma pistol was a breeze to fit on. I’ll probably count the chaincleaver as a powerfist or poweraxe, depending on who I’m facing. I hope he’s actually somewhat effective. I also have a bolter leader who looks like he’d be more effective on paper.

Most stores here just carry the usual spread of Warhammer/Star Wars/Marvel/5E, but sometimes they have a few Reaper minis tucked away in the corner.  I think this "Space Henchman" is supposed to be wearing an armor vest, but I like him better in a wifebeater that's barely held together at the stomach.

1000ish points of Warhammer Fantasy 4th Edition in 10mm: Next army is Night Goblins. I want a lime green skin on them, over a black undercoat since I'm likely to drybrush their robes a dark grey. Is there any way to do this in one coat of something, or am I best off going with white and then a bright contrast paint? (this is for 10mm scale so I'm all about speed and efficiency)

e; Y'all need to learn that a falling knife/pointy thing has no handle jfc Learning to use the airbrush for anything beyond priming is a bit of a pain, but I'm slowly making progress. Mostly it can be demoralizing because an errant spray can cause way more rework than an errant brush stroke. On a related note, Gaahleri is clearing out their Amazon stock of one of their older "premium" airbrushes at $42 (40% off, actually as far as I can tell, not Amazon pricing gimmicks) that I think is being discontinued. I've been really happy with their $30 starter airbrush, I haven't felt the drawbacks commonly mentioned with older cheaper airbrushes, so I decided to roll the dice and pick one up. Bark!

(this is for 10mm scale so I'm all about speed and efficiency) Lime green over black sounds tricky with contrast paint. As I understand it you would need to get in a strong zenithal eg by heavily dry brushing white on the skin first. I’d be interested to see some test minis.

This rules but also:  As for Kill Team advice, usually the best place to ask for KT advice is the spec games thread but I can help you out here with kitbashing work. There is an actual Death Guard team, but it sucks in a way that is pretty unfun. They're all super slow, so either your team is half useless poxwalker zombies or else tragically easy to outmaneuver and isolate. They get two gimmicks and one of them is an aura that half the teams in the game can ignore. You'd think super-tough guys who all get a special fighting knife would all be decent in melee but no, they're punching bags because of 3A on basically everyone. I really do not recommend playing Actual Death Guard from the Kill Team Compendium, and instead play Legionaries. If you don't take this advice, your champion's armament is fine. There isn't actually an option for any kind of chain weapon or power weapon for them but since you're always taking a power fist anyway, it's nbd. (The plague sword is inexplicably worse than a power sword.) He can take a bolter but you'll get a ton of use out of the plasma except against the most passive, defensive teams. For the rest of a bad DG team, you always want a plasma gunner and an icon bearer. Then you have some choices. Either eight poxwalkers, or three more marines. Two of those marines are boring bolter/knife guys. The third is either a melee guy (double knife with mephitic toxin, any other melee guy is mediocre) or a blight launcher guy. You're not stuck with Death Guard, though. You do have options. Legionaries are generic CSM. However, your guys do have marks of chaos, and all-Nurgle is pretty much the only mono-mark you'd ever want to take. It doesn't even come with any downsides. They aren't quite as tough as actual DG, but on the flip side they move normally and are considerably more dangerous and versatile. For the leader, there are three options but the most versatile and most thematic one is a Chosen, who heals after a melee where he got a crit hit. He wants a plasma pistol and a "demon blade" which can just be whatever you want. The other leader option, an AC, wants a plasma pistol and a power weapon or fist but his whole gimmick is going fast so probably not what you're looking for anyway. The rest of the team is five of these, in generally deceasing order of importance:
Hopefully this helps you with building up a team! The guy you did was great and deserves to be on the table I think.

The only question remaining is whether nebalebadingdong shrinks himself or the models. Shrinking himself would be more economical on the paints. I assume the ray gun works equally well to grow back up to full size.

What's a good source for present day freaks and weirdos? The kind you'd see at a Health show or a barfight. Not necessarily just "gangsters" although those might fit. I got a couple sculpts from Slow Death Games and they were cool. Wondering what else is out there.

There're some Cyberpunk or Judge Dredd miniatures that might fit the bill. Like these, these, or these. I'm afraid I'm not sure what the scaling's like on any of it, though. You could also probably find a 28mm motorcycle gang (probably in pewter) if you looked hard enough. PoptartsNinja fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Apr 16, 2024 |

Test model for my Soulblight Gravelords color scheme is done, I'm pretty sure I like it. For the rank and file, say skeletons, I'll have purple cloth and silver armor with heavy verdigris to bring the teal notes in. For the basing I'm going for an otherworldly black sand beach with snow. The sand looks blacker in person. Feedback welcome!
