Any particularly cool excerpts about Moritats? I recall the one about the White Scar who ended up as the surviving commander and led his men on a rampage against the Alpha Legion, but not many others.
>>97890512Not really. They are distinguished as a classic example of early onset capeshit, a super cool and mysterious op single dude capable of wiping out all mooks--the sort that eventually overtook all of GW's various respective IPs

>>97890483Alas, I haven't worked on heresy for a few weeks, busy painting models for other games, but I am testing the Vallejo obsidian black to see if it'll let me finally paint my tech Thralls without going insane. It actually seems like a pretty good match but I need to figure out if when adapted to my mech it's okay without the highlight because I don't want to commit too much time per thrall
My LGS has zero AT scene, would it be worth it getting two maniples and command terminals to teach people to play? I desperately wanna play AT but LI basically killed it off unfortunately. I'm willing to buy two maniples but is it an easy game to learn/teach?
Custodes with an inverted color scheme would just be even more baroque Blood Angels.
>>97890733I also think they'd look way better.
>>97890733what about Custodes with an inverted penis?

Ty to the anons in the previous thread reminding me that Audax has many one word titan names and that I was massively overthinking things. On that note Ursarius (dude to traps wild bears for use in gladiator games) might be a good name for my now only unamed warhound out of the 3 I have in various stages of construction since the maniple motto I've basically settled on is "see how the terrier fells the bear". I'm fucked if I can find a good """Himalayasian proto-gothic"" version but just a Latin name is fine, When I eventually get a direwolf box I was going to name one Lancea Dei and that wouldn't translate well into persian unless I want to declare a fatwa against Legio Oberon.>>97890631Do people really play LI without having any titans? Having titans, tanks and infantry in the same game is part of the appeal to me. Up there with making fun narrative missions to deploy them in.
>>97890773fuck meant to reply to >>97890654
Finished the basing on my dudes, think I'm happy with them now.

>>97890733BA elites are just wannabe Custards anyway.
>>97890913Fancy golden armour isn't really "Custodes" just "I'm important".
>>97890926It's a shtick going back to Dante, believing being the "Golden warrior" between the Emperor and death. Dante in turn would inspire golden BA honour guard, which inspires Sanguinary guard, which insipires it's HH counterpart. All going back to wannabe custodian Dante.
>>97890926auramite is custodes though it possibly gets used for some special individuals armour and seemingly for thunder warriors.
>>97890960Tycho also sported golden armour.
I've got an awful feeling that something truly terrible will happen to HH miniatures soon. Something that will blow the power armour redesigns out of the water in terms of awfulness.
>>97891028All the important models are still available from recasters, no reason to care what GW does you dumb d00mer.
>>97891002You are right. Come to think about it, even the 1st ed. captain had one I think, but I don't remember if there was a reason given.
>>97891037No, something else. Worse.
>>97891065Primaris centurions in 30k?
>>97891037resin meh. I do worry about what GW is going to do to Mk4 . For all we know they may get the primaris "ears" too.
>>97891073Centurions are just a "what happens when you got a tank, but have to use a horse cart to pull it" situation. They are the striped down bastard child of Saturnite armour.
>>97891059Probably just to make him stand out with the mask and all. Think they repurposed the model later as Tycho. The design of the armour, the bleeding wing on the shoulder pad and the way he holds his bolter are all similar to Tycho.
>>97891081More like Saturnine are 30k Centurion suits. Giant space marine armour that doesn't make sense on how one wears it, equipped with big guns and fists.
>>97891065Look, if you wanna spend your life living in fear and anxiety over some vague delusion that's not gonna happen, go ahead. I don't have the patience to waste time dealing with baseless doomposting any more.
>>97891085that particular studio model was named Tycho in a battle report and the name stuck, so they gave him a real model>>97890960I think the studio model got painted gold because Dave Gallagher made a gold Captain for his Space Hulk art (and a sweet silver Chaplain, but you never see those) a couple of years before the battle report
>>97891186>silver ChaplainEven in art we got unpainted minis...
>>97890257>>97890753neat. You get it from ebay or a recaster? Theres a guy on ebay who has been selling them for around 1200ish for several months that ive been tracking while waiting on some cash to pop up, imk considering him over recasters because I can actually see what he has in hand before I commit to purchasing it. Does yours come with the interior details (if there are any like how it is on the others, sadly I missed the nemesis era so I dont really know)?
>>97890351I still think about him...
>>97890813>undrilled barrels
>>97891257it's a recast from WTG and cost $450 after discounts. WTG includes two arm weapons of your choice and the quake cannonif you look at the legs you can see some big mold lines that luckily don't need to be cleaned up because they'll be covered by armor plating which looks flawless >Does yours come with the interior detailsonly the head has a detailed interior. there's a big hollow void in the middle where they could've theoretically modeled an interior but i don't know how it could be accessible when built. it's a bit of a disappointment considering the much smaller warhound titan has a fully detailed interiorthat said the nemesis is so big that it has multiple levels of exterior catwalks large enough for infantry to walk around on and it even includes two tech priests for that purpose
>>97891370> it's a bit of a disappointment considering the much smaller warhound titan has a fully detailed interiorThe reaver does too, not sure about the warlord. Definite sign that they werent putting as much love into their designs at that point, lazy bastards...
Thoughts on contemptor bolters/assault cannons/autocannons? The bolters in particular seem situationally very nifty, D2 for cheap.
>2nd edition style winged skull drawingIt's the little things that make the journals so kino
>>97891587The kheres assault cannons are a little too much points for what they do, they're still paying for their sins in 1.0.The dreadnought bolters and autocannon options are very neat though. People still do a double take when they hear my castraferrum dread with two gravis autocannons fires eight shots when stationary.
>>97891642Castaferrums are kinda ugly, so im using a contemptor. But yea, the autocannon does seem nice. Wish it was Breaching 5+ though.
>>97891657Would need a point increase if it was breaching 5+ though, it already feels a little under-costed right now.
>>97891671I dont know, its the same cost as the plasma cannon. Although maybe its more the gravis plasma is undercosted.The volkite culverins and assault cannon feel a bit much at 15pts.
>>97891689The gravis plasma is criminally undercosted lmao. Could easily increase them to 20 points each and I would still continue to spam them.The volkite culverins and kheres assault cannons should be 10 or even 5 points each, they're just way less impactful now that 2 wound infantry is a lot more common.
>>97891710The gravis plasma is definetly good for 10pts, but its on a pretty expensive body.
>>97891724Doesn't matter, gravis plasma is just that good. Even my saturnine dread with two heavy plasma bombards has been worth its points every game so far, and that thing is twice as expensive.
One guy done. Still trying to make the bases a little more interesting. I got a new texture paste but I guess I should take another walk through the park
>>97891758This, if we got access to easy to spam dreads man....rhions would be Dead because a duel gravis plasma box boy is like... i think 140? thats crazy damage.
>>97891856A plasma box dread is 135 points. Between centurions and logistical benefit you can already easily field 4 or more dreadnoughts. With a mortificator you can take a detachment that has three contemptor slots.

Good day anons, I'm finishing up a table of terrain and have it almost completely painted. I've been thinking of a centerpiece and really like the old imperial fortress model, do any of you have experience with this STL set?Also post ideas of cool pieces of terrain you wish you could play on, having an fdm printer has really opened my eyes to what you can do with a terrain. One of the things I've built is a large bridge around 12" across with two towers rising up to it and its been very cool to have armored vehicles driving and fighting under it while some nasty CQB is happening above.
i've devised the scheme as:>mechanicus standard grey>ulthuan grey>1:1 daemonette hide/abbadon blackbut how the fuck am I gonna paint it?masking obviously but I can't pin down which colour first?
>>97892151I don't think the order of the colours matters that much. Steps are:>Basecoat one colour>Apply jagged masking to roughly 1/3 of the model>Spray second colour>Apply more jagged masking to another 1/3 of the model>Spray final colourLook up 3-tone dazzle camo tutorials. I found a pretty helpful one on reddit for Battletech, which I think is pretty applicable here.
>>97890351Is there a general rule of thumb in the community for what stuff you should print and what’s encouraged to buy officially?
>>97892151Judging by the image you posted and from personal experience painting urban cameo on AL breacher shields you wanna start with the medium grey first, then paint the darker and lighter grey patched on it.
>>97892182I wonder if a trick I saw for using masking tape works on miniatures too. Basically, once you've masked off what you want, you paint the colour under the tape over the seam of the tape. That way, whatever paint bleeds under the tape, is the same colour that's already under the tape, and the new paint you apply over it is prevented from bleeding through by the layer of paint. Thus making a crisper line.
>>97892182I think it does, the darker grey isn't in jagged shapes, and on tank 1 and 3 the purple overrides the light grey, but on tank 2 the light grey overrides the purpleif I was doing tanks 1/3, wouldnt the scheme be:>base light grey and mask areas>colour purple and mask areas>colour whole tank dark greyalso I don't think the tank is mech grey, the barrel and trench rails are, but don't know what dark grey would fit the main hull? it's lighter
>>97892198No one cares as long as it looks proper. Buy official, get recasts, print, sculpt them out of greenstuff. Do whatever you want, as long as its the proper armor marks and aesthetics.
>>97892203i've tried this on a test piece of plastic and it seemed to work, but I was impatient and applied the paint on thick with an airbrush (I only had layers to hand at the time)no bleeding but THICK
>97892214fuck, regular brush not airbrush

>>97892221Based.
Suffering.I can finally move on to gap filling though.
>>97892151So this anon has it right >>97892182However this is one more step you need to do in order to make it look a lot better and cleaner. >Basecoat one colour>Apply jagged masking to roughly 1/3 of the model>ADDITIONAL STEP: Spray base color or clearcoat over tapped areas and along tape edges again >Spray second colour>Apply more jagged masking to another 1/3 of the model>ADDITIONAL STEP: Spray clearcoat over tapped areas and along tape edges again >Spray final colourThe reason you want to do this is because no matter how good you get the tape down, there will always be some areas that you dont get flush, and will cause bleeding effects. By spraying a clear coat over hte tape first, this will help seal it allowing the clear coat to get into the small gaps and fill it under the tape so you do not get spider webs and bleed through. Your lines will be much crisper and neat.
>>97892240Brother i know your pain, pic related is my storm eagle, and HOLY FUCK never building this bitch again until its in plastic. Also ffs can someone fix 4chan so that the verification works again?

>>97892221mk IV boxes are considered heresy safe?
>>97892260Castraferrum designs in general are older than the fucking Imperium itself.
>>97892198If it looks bad you'll be raped and beaten to death, not necessarily in that order.
>>97892260Even MkV is Heresy safe.
>>97892241what grey should I use? I don't think that's mechanicus standard grey, it's lighter and a bit blueishalso captcha and posting really slow to load?
>>97892250Well, at least your ended up looking nice. I fear mine will look like a misshapen mess once I finally get to paint it.
>>97892368Oh anon dont worry, NO ONE has a good looking storm eagle, not even fucking GW does. Look a this shit, look at the landing gear lol.
>>97892260All pre primaris dreads are safe.
>>97892392bro came down a smidge hard
>>97892513I don't know man you come at me with a bunch of proonted 1980s Furibundus dreadnoughts smaller than a single Saturnine Terminator and we might have problemsoriginals? sure, how many of those would you possibly even have, it would be like fighting an antique dealerproonted on tactical rocks, in fun poses? 1987++? sure, I can dig thatupscaled to normal dreadnought sizes? fine bro whatevsFury of the Ancients with brrrrrrtttt lil stubby legs? no, the latest Terminator plastics are probably bigger than the original Furibundus
