For stuff like this washes are perfectly fine to just thin down acrylic paint, spray or brush it all over a section and wipe it off as best you can. Oils would work too like other anon said, it's just unnecessary for this kind of work at this scale.
>>
>>97257685
Cheapest way would probably be some sort of oil wash, only issue is that that needs its own set of brushes and needs some preparation.

other way would be to use an airbrush, but that requires more money to be put into gear, but would be cheaper in the long term.
>>
>>97257716
To be clear, I just mean cheap dollar store acrylics, not your mini paints.
>>
>>97257685
I saw this mentioned mentioned once, so I'm not sure how it works, but you can spray it with a gloss varnish and use a brown shoe paste with a rag or something like that
>>
>>97257685
if you're not willing to use oil paints like other anons have suggested consider making your own wash medium by adding a teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to a liter of water and using it to thin whatever paint you'd like to use into a wash
i can't give exact ratios to thin acrylics with because they all vary but start with 5:1 medium:paint and experiment from there

>>97256794
On the smallest scales the easiest thing is usually to just sculpt it out of putty. The details are gonna be a bit blobby regardless of the method and it's easy. Otherwise get some tiny tank kits like flames of war. Those are shockingly good for kitbashing with mechs.

After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session.
Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.
And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.
>4e books are ~10-15$ now.

Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch.
Does anyone have suggestions for 1-3lvl adventures or campaign settings?

>Dragonborn were the defacto Paladin race
That's a good point. Either or works honestly. But yeah, you can tell they tried to make race/class combos with the books.
>>
>>97255672
They actually talked about this is the Wizard's Presents 4th Edition books. While the other anons are correct on the Race/Class combo thing there were other reasons. Tieflings replaced Gnomes because Gnomes were wildly unpopular and Tieflings, at least on the D&D forums (rip in peace), were insanely popular. Like more popular than Elves. So they got the slot. Dragonborn were more of "We keep getting emails about playing a dragon in Dungeons and DRAGONS so we made sure there were dragon people in the first book so we could say yes" and they didn't want to double up on warrior races so Half Orcs got nudged to be with Barbarian in PHB2.
>>
>>97254633
To be fair to Runepriest, what it got was pretty good. It just didn't get enough.
>>
>>97256142
Runepriest mostly suffered from the "taxes" issue. He handed out like double the amount of gribbly little bonuses of every other Leader while completely lacking the positioning or action granting of others. They did have an interesting gimmick where their "heal" could be spent to not heal and instead just give the buff if you wanted to alpha strike hard and not spend surges.

Also one of the builds being Str/Con. Gross. Serene Blade should have been the standard design ideal of all the Runic Artistries instead of the later fixed one. Really it shouldn't have been a Strength class. Wis or Con should have been its primary with finding a way to slip Int in there as a Secondary so it wouldn't be so bad at Religion for flavor reasons.
>>
>>97256225
>so it wouldn't be so bad at Religion

The lore is easy to grasp at a surface level, and retarded but unimportant otherwise.
Once upon a time there was a Star League. Some fat shit advisor from the edge of known space betrayed the First Lord in a palace coup. General Kerensky and the Star League loyalists kicked his ass, but were then so butthurt by the Great Houses having no interest in giving a shit that Kerensky took a big chunk of the army and fucked off. The Great Houses were: Space Viking Japan, Space Anglo-French, Space Russo-China, Space Balkans pretending to be the HRE, and Space WWI Germany.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Succession Wars blew up everybodys engineering and physics text books, helped by the meddling of Space AT&T.
The 4th Succession War happened when some mercenaries found a pile of textbooks that had not been nuked, so now war was fun again. The Space Germans and the Space Anglo-French made a super alliance in the name of peace and then immediately raped the Space Russo-Chinese. Space AT&T was mad about this for reasons, and helped create a buffer state between the Space Germans and Space Japanese by giving the Space Vikings independence.
Then the ancestors of Kerensky's Star League army showed up as Space Mongols and they had a weird society of tribal totalitarianism but everybody* forgave the writers for this because omnimechs and battle armor is totally rad. Anyway, war was now even more fun, so there was even more of it. They made a 2nd Star League that was more or less just an alliance to not be buttfucked by the Clans, and as soon as they fixed that they went back to hating each other, and the Space Anglo-French and Space WWI Germans broke up. Then, why not, the extremists of Space AT&T nuked everybody, which is actually fair if you really think about it. War was fun again, so there was a lot of it.
We're not going to talk about the Republic, except they fucked up and lost Terra to Clan Wolf, but on the bright side, war is now fun again, so there is a lot of it.

I'm getting that itch to start a third army now that I'm closing in on "finishing" my second one. I probably won't go for it for a while yet but I'm still thinking on the planning and theming stages and honestly, an army of all/mostly flyers and flying units sounds like it'd be really fun. How many armies can actually do that though? From the top of my head the two Eldar flavors seem the most obvious but I'm curious how many others even can.

You mean of the "Legacy" factions?
I think most likely will be Shreks. They've been piddling out of Sigmar for a while and I can see them just disappearing and going all back to Old World (I still think GW's current stance against cross-system play is fucking stupid)

Next Delfs. GW needs to shit or get off the pot with Malekith's godhood and his Shadow Elves in Sigmar. Do something, come out with new models and squat the old Delf models from the Cities line and bring them all back to TOW.

Daemon of Chaos very likely, but only once GW moves the story forward and gets to Asavar Kul's invasion.

Rats would be easiest to do since even their new models are small enough to rank up on 25s, but since they're being used as the big bads for the current edition of AOS, GW won't relinquish them.

Lizards would also be more difficult, all the big monsters haven't been updated but the new Saurus don't rank up very well, though it is possible to get them going. And NuSlann would need new bases that could fit in ranks.
But since they're still a major faction in AOS, very unlikely.

New Chorfs rank up better than I thought, but again, extremely unlikely as GW doesn't want cross-play.

Sure there is.
You just have to be willing to go on the offensive.
If you are caught on open ground under fire, you don't try to dig in; you press forward.
You either maneuver the conversation into a counterattack, or adopt a more defensible position from which to fight.
