hm. The biggest thing is that they come across a little flat. Maybe some washes next, carroburg crimson for the red cloth, agrax eartshade for the bronze bits, and nuln oil for the steel bits on the armor

Yeah I've done nuln oil on the metals, I could do more. I'll have to see about getting that crimson

Played a 1000 point game against orks last night and crushed my opponent pretty good. The bright lances were great and banshees did work, but choppa/slugga boyz took out half the unit on their counter-attack. After consuming the unit of 20 boys, Jain zhar and the lone remaining banshee fell back to avoid combat against a very slow warboss and painboy, but the game ended before that due to a decisive volley of shuriken, starshot missles and bright lance fire. I think I would rather have another unit of guardians with a heavy weapon than the rangers, who killed two boyz before being blendered by deffkopters.

Can I add a quick suggestion to do a pass on the OP and make sure every army has a mention on how they tend to play? Some do, some don't, but when I first looked at the ham thread I wanted to know which armies did what between shooty/slashy/magic and if they tend to be horde, elite, or medium model count.

OP is incredible and I appreciate the work, I just think that might help new folks.

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.

Was teaching my friend to play, a 50 pl game

I had a terminator chaplain, terminators, tac squad, devastator squad, razorback, vindicator

He had a jump pack captain, cataphractii, 10 vanguard with jump packs, scouts, predator.

Man I need to bring these scouts more. Top of 1 the 5 scouts killed 4 devastators and the last one ran away. Should've deployed them in the razorback. His vanguard were actually pretty good in numbers, he gave them all storm shields and power swords and tanked vindicator fire with their shields. Definitely need to give them another chance with shields.

Yeah, thanks for the advice. I'll definitely put some agrax on there. I have nuln oil on all the silver parts, but was worried about it looking too dirty and killing my highlights. I'll do more.


By the way, do you have a guide for weathering? It's beyond my current skillset.

By the way, did I resolve the sniper shots correctly?

So mortal wounds spill over. The way I did it was I did all the armor saves, and then applied the mortal wounds to the unit (So in the case of the devastators, it was 2 mortal wounds and 4 armor saves).

Is that correct, or is it intended for the armor save and mortal wound you get from rolling a 6 be applied to the same model?

Maybe it's supposed to be vaporizing one dude's head and hitting the guy behind him.

Sounds like some UK people are starting to get their Forgeworld Indexes unlocked. I don't want to post screenshots since we're leaving the realm of leaks and :filez: are a thing, but I will say the Fire Raptor looks incredibly nasty.

The default configuration gives 24 HB shots, the main gun is Heavy 10 S6 AP-2 D2 and it has the option to take 2 twin lascannons instead of the missiles. It also weighs in at a whopping 19 PP, or almost 400 points if the normal ratio holds true.

Nice, sounds tasty. If it's not a bother, what Marine chapters does the book list as being able to use the Raptor? Same with the Contemptor Mortis, if it's in there please.

I don't have anything but the datasheet yet, but I'll post more stuff if I see it. I'm really hoping to see the Sicaran soon...

E: The Fire Raptor does look really nice though, doesn't it? That's enough firepower to put some serious hurt on just about anything. It can probably do most of an armies anti-horde work by itself.
