Should I feel ashamed that im cutting corners when buying models, such as using a legate as a samaritan and a regular nexus as Kerr-Nau?

Proxying a lovely model that does not keep silhouette and facefaults every time you touch it or the wind blows the wrong way is illegal and will get you run out of town.

That's what I thought. The model is gorgeous, but my god does it look awful to play with. Unless you stuff the base full of some enriched illegal heavy metal.

Kerr-Nau is worth getting just because you'll run a fair few Nexus, though I recommend using the Pneumarch as a Nexus as well.

gently caress the Samaritan.

Dont play with them again. Luck is a factor in the game.

It's usually not just the game, and you can't take it personally. Unless it is the game then welp, laugh away.

Infinity isn't a game you can really "hold back" in due to the lethality of it. If it's a friendly game that hasn't gone on too long the best choice may be to just start over.

The pawsting business is tough work.
USians: Miniature Market is having another sale, and while the pickings aren't great this time around, you could get the fancy Aristeia for $90, or some Kameels now that the Druze rush is slowed back down.

Speaking of being lazy, I really love Warsenal's Cosmica stuff, but also don't want to get an airbrush, learn to airbrush, and then airbrush a ton of terrain. I don't really have the time or energy for all that.

Are there any decent like... terrain painting services? Or something? Is this an unacceptable question as a minis wargamer?

Honestly, rattle cans and a broad flat brush with some craft paints are all you need to paint terrain half way decently.

This is a building that I designed and lasercut myself then painted largely with spraypaint. I had a can of orange and puke green from Montana Gold and the gray is either straight Rustoleum primer or Rustoleum Primer with Tamiya Fine Surface Primer sprayed from about 3 feet above the piece for the speckle effect. I brushed the brown facades and then gave everything a wash with transparent burnt umber ink from Liquitex.





The building was already glued together (prototyping, yay) so I didn't bother to get every face of the facades or walls but this took like... 2 hours, tops?

Just spray paint, that's all I do for my MDF terrain.

BlackIronHeart that looks a lot like Aussie crowd bplaser stuff. I need to steal the base idea you both have. It's a great example of simple colours used effectively tho.
