Need some quick suggestions.

I glued my model to the base, and after painting it I got some advice and decided to change up the basing scheme - no more texture paint and forgetting about it.
I got some plasticard today, and now I need to obviously figure out a way to get it around the model's feet. I dont want to cut the model off or snap it from the base because I glued it with plastic cement, and Im worried of ruining stuff.

Whats the best way to cut out the plasticard so that I can glue it around the model's feet as accurately as possible?
>>
>>94842476
>I glued it with plastic cement

You should superglue it so if you want to do something with the base it's easier.

>>
>>94842476
If I were you I would cut the model off the base anyway. It's possible with a sharp knife as long as you are VERY CAREFUL not to cut your thumb, ideally use cutting gloves or just don't cut towards yourself at all, I cut my thumb recently doing that and it could have easily been bad if I hadn't been lucky.
I can't really give advice for what you suggested without at least seeing a picture of the model, sorry.

They'll work perfectly fine for getting stuff off sprues. They won't do it very neatly. So you'll need to clean up with a sharp knife, but GW sprues aren't really designed to be clipped from without cleanup anyway since you have to paint over everything. God hands and other super sharp clippers are more of a Gunpla thing.

I had a dream that space marines got 3 new units. They were the Phobos Warsuit Pilot, who was a sneaky loneop who could call down a Warsuit. The Invictor was given 2 pals, the Engager Combat Warsuit and the Protector Defense Warsuit. The Engager had the ability to hop over enemy units and charge them from behind while the Protector had a fuckhuge shield and not-railgun to hunker down and snipe. Warsuits all had the ability to eject the Pilot if it didn't Deadly Demise

Am looking forward to it.
Salamanders are my favorite and if there is a chance that they'll get a refresh and a range of their own I'm excited.

>>94842934
Can the current upgrade sprue be improved

>>94842941
Yes, heavily.
The current upgrade for sallies is just some shoulder pads, couple of trinkets, 2 backpack braziers, 2 hammers and 2 hand flamers and 2 helmets.
There isn't even cool relic type stuff, or even scaly capes/loin cloths, you know the thing which IMO is the more important for sallies aesthetics wise.

I fear the Soul Grinder is probably not long for this world. I think it might already have been culled from AoS. Otherwise everything resin is liable to go; Slaanesh herald on foot, Khorne herald on bloodcrusher, the Blue Scribes, Epidemius if he isn't gone already. All of them could have been convenient picks for a pity model to go with the codex, but obviously that's not applicable for EC, DG is already confirmed to get a marine, and the fatman says TS are getting a robot.

Gonna do four of these squads on foot, counts as scions.
I'm thinking for the third squad I wanna do a black and white coat of arms and checkerboard patterns on helmets. Leader will have a bare face, maybe a hammer and be pretty plain.
For the fourth, which is the squad that'll include the company commander, I want to do a red and white pattern, The leader has big ass deer antlers on his helmet. I'm not sure what kind of motifs and shapes I can paint onto helmets though.

Also wanna do another two squads of aquilon counts as, they'll have the same armour but a slightly different colour scheme and access to plasma, since they're supposed to be a different regiment. Not too worried about finding schemes for them.

I had to cut off over 100 boyz from their bases, it's not that bad desu. If you have a decent pair of clippers, the models should come off cleanly without damaging too much of the leg. Granted I had 1 or 2 models snap somewhere in the leg instead of the base, but it wasn't too bad in the end. Just had to file the bottom of the boots as some of the base was still stuck to it

Just been to my local club's bring and buy

Paid £1 total for this lot, including the 3rd edition ruins. This guy had a bits box and it was £1 a go to fill a sandwich tub.

Need Assault Marines and Devastators for my firstborn Company so everything else is a bonus.

Except Felix, he was £2 on his own. Lovely old sculpt.


I'm sure the prices on new stuff was reasonable but a lot of it doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

That is true, painted in pink/black they will look nice alongside the EC, but that kit is extremely bad (i.e. its not only monopose models, but its single piece monopose models for the most part. The whole sprue contains 1 mini with 2 build options, which is just one head/arm different).
Having such limited choices is bad in general, but its pretty much an insult for a chaff unit of which you usually want more than one box of 10.

I dont worry too much about the heads. If someone starts an EC army, there will be more than enough leftover heads from the other sets so the coneheads are not an issue at all.

Not yet. Looks like after Eldar and the real Guard release but the box set might release sooner with the codex in it. You just won't be able to get Fulgrim/Lucius/Kakaphonist until after the full release.
>>
>>94843691
Terminators will be fine for a new painter, yeah. For general advice, if you're going for their pink and black colors, I know priming in black is tempting but it's better to prime them white, the reason being it'll make the pink a lot more bright and vibrant without needing an obscene amount of coats. Typically trying to paint a bright color over black requires multiple coats of paint to get good coverage because they're typically not as dense in pigment. In contrast, darker paints are much more pigment dense and will go over a white prime in one or two thin coats no problem.

you could do terminators. you could also just buy a kill team
you could buy pic rel as they are somewhat similar to EC, or you could go for something much easier and buy chaos cultists. the goal of buying a kill team instead is to essentially have some shit units that you might never use (or you could play a little kill team with them) that should allieviate the angst of fucking up

Nobody but contrarians think about Chambers King in Yellow over Lovecrafts when hes bought up.
You know exactly what I mean. The King in Yellow is a mysterious alien terrifying Other, in Dream Quest of Kadath he's sitting upon a stone throne and hooded and you dare not see what lies under the hood and robes for your sainty. He also has his minions he controls trying to bring you to him.Thats the vibe I get from that tech priest in that picture. Setting menacingly is a strange amysterious alien (to the avgerage imperial), being that is robbed and hooded and you fear what lies beneath. With his horrible servent/slaves doing his bidding

>>94843947
I have world eaters and no matter what I know whatever’s coming is going to be disappointing, even if they bring crushers (lol). The average marine update will only have a new character or two, nothing crazy like a blood angel or black Templar update (which in itself is pretty exhausted).

Only vibe I'm getting from the picture is that he is a lazy ass, snoring techpriest with an obsession with dogs.

But Chambers' wrote that stuff pretty well. The worst is Derleth's interpretation.

>>94843980
Sure but when people talk about the king in Yellow they are always refering to lovecrafts characterisation. Chambers wrote well but his KiY is vastly different from Lovecrafts
>>94843979
Amazing how art can inpsire such different ideas in different people. Almost like that's that point

The problem with that is it's filtered through the lens of Derleth so you're missing a bunch of the good stuff. Besides which, isn't that supposed to be Nyarlathotep in the form of the KiY in that story? Anyway, the fact that Lovecraft was a huge fan to the point of referencing and including that thing into the mythos demonstrates Chambers's merit more than enough.

I don't know why you're so butthurt about me comparing a tech priest to the King in Yellow as a 'threatning hooded alien-like being normal humans can't really understand and who looks down on humanity'.

Why did they write a faction with infinite+1 armies that just gets stronger from human wave tactics, adopts to any situation with infinite new bioforms all with a direct sensory link to a 500 IQ hivemind that direct all of them while being unable to get assassinated because it exists in the warp which also counters all warp powers? Also all your defenses are down from lictor + jeanstealers in your backline so if you ever had a chance you don't now.

How are you supposed to fight this faction in the lore other than asspull? It seems designed to be a scary force that can't be pushed back by anything other than named character shenanigans and that seems really unsatisfying.

Because Tyranids are meant to be the *ultimate* alien threat. They came from beyond the galaxy. They have no leader that can be killed, they cannot be reasoned with, they do not talk. They will adapt to anything you throw at them, we don't know how many of them there are. We don't know if they have any plans deeper than consumption. We can't know how many forms they take or what form we will see next. We don't know and they're already here, and have been for generations.

Reminder that you can destroy infinite Imperial worlds and the writers will keep creating new ones. Destroy as many as you want, the Imperium will always have more. So long as it's not an actual plot important place like Terra or Ultramar, the Imperium can suffer any number of losses because the worlds you destroyed literally didn't exist before the story that destroyed them.

The Imperium is unstoppable. The Emperor has already won.

I think it is badass and very fitting for the Emperor's Children marines given how intentionally painful on the eyes the colours are. Yet the model is beautifully executed.

>>
>>94844749
If you’re brand new and interested in guard, you may want to just play Kill Team since a proper 40K guard army is very expensive while a big part of Kill Team’s appeal is being a one box for one playable team game mode that’s a lot more affordable than the Combat Patrols.

>>94844749
Take >>94844769's advice. The current Kill Team starter set provides you with two different sets of Marines and you can paint the Angels of Death up as any chapter you choose. Or you could grab one of the Guard-flavored KT sets like Death Korps or Kasrkin

Don't suppose you have any experience using white primers? I used a dark primer for deathguard but I feel like the green hasn't come up bright enough
>>
>>94844882
Anything that is big enough for miniatures, preferably with a led ring on top. Most backdrops that come with cheap lightboxes are terrible so it's a good idea to buy yourself matte white piece of fabric to use as background. It costs next to nothing and will drastically improve your photos.

Even with the piss-lighting you took the photo on, I can tell you thought slapping gobs of that color on was the solution. There's blobs of dried paint that have altered the shape and surface of the one coming out of the shoulder pad.

The advice is, make sure you have paints that give suitable coverage over darker colors to build up lighter ones like that. I'm not sure which color you were using, but something like zandri dust which is one of the citadel "base" paints has good coverage and will give you a clean, lighter tan to build up the brighter bone colors on without having to blob on un-thinned gobs of paint like that.

Returning space marine player, with a question. What army would be the best rule set for running an army with a lot of Assault Space marines in rhinos or razorbacks, with predators and dreadnoughts being the support. Is it still BA? That was my initial army in 5th ed (white dwarf codex),but I never got to painting it.
>>
>>94845062
Eh, it's to early to tell. BT and SW might have detachments that will fill that role.
>>
>>94844830
>First time painting anything
You did pretty good anon!

>I hear that agrax wash carries hard for deathguard
Acrylic washes in general carry models quite well when used properly. Just be careful that excess amounts of the acrylic wash don't collect in areas too much. Hobbyists call it "pooling."
>any advice for painting on the bone
ivroy, white, yellow, and lighter skin tones as acrylic paints are harder to work with because of the pigments. Just make sure you're applying in thin coats and you should be able to eventually build up the colour properly.
I struggle with those colours myself so we can suffer together.

As for what can be improved on the model. If you have a light orange paint or a brown-orange paint you can heavily water it down to what I can best describe as a milk water consistency and randomly place it around the metallic parts of the axe. Maybe in the "popped pimple" looking marks on the axe to add the heavily watered down light orange or orange brown paint to resemble rust.
Here's the effect being done and what it should somewhat look like when done properly: https://youtu.be/dvlvzXaEmso?t=574

Hope you enjoy this hobby and have fun!

It's shit because Horus Heresy got expanded and in general the setting and everything else around the Dark Angels has changed a lot IRL ever since the 80s and 90s.
In the past the DAngels shtick was that they were the only loyalist legion/chapter that had parts of it go traitor during the Heresy and they wanted to keep it a secret because they were THE number 1 legion also they were paranoid that the Imperium might exterminate them all. And this is where the Fallen obssession stemmed from, they didn't want to risk any of the traitor DAngels from the Heresy get captured by the rest of the Imperium because they could get interrogated and they could expose the secrets.

But that has changed in the last 36 years.
Because now all legions had some form of traitors or loyalists within them, even the predominantly traitorous legions had loyalist elements within them. This is specifically the reason why the Istvaan Dropsite Massacre was conducted, it was Horus and rest of the traitor primarchs essentially culling all the legion members who were loyal the Emperor first and foremost or too stubborn to ever go traitor.

But because of this DAngels do not seem that special anymore.
"Oh woe is us, bunch of went traitor during the Heresy...", a thing that happened to all of the fucking legions to some degree. So it feels really cheap and lame.
>>
I hate the current Raptor kit so much that I'm just going to buy HH assault marines and cover them with spare chaos bits instead.

Honestly if it was like 10 years ago I'd just but a bunch of CSM and regular SM kits to mix and match to have all my chaos marines look more like recent traitors instead of looking like Black Legion but sadly Primaris ruined that

Not true at all, even the horus heresy lore in the early 90s as soon as they stopped being the indian chapter the legions were all splitting down the middle during the heresy
But of course you wouldn't know that, you just follow what you read online and think that the heresy was this mysterious unexplained lore point until the mid 2000s

psychic manifestations are cost intensive and only happen on the regular in the genestealer cults as a byproduct of the need for the alien mind of the patriarch to communicate more effectively with the infected humans and viceversa

>Any advice on an orange colour?
I'm not sure what you mean here, but I guess any bright orange will work when diluted to a milky consistency if you have plans to use it for a rust effect on models.
>What's your advice for shading?
I actually use diluted washes. But most acrylic washes targeted for army painting like Citadel are good right out of the pot. But even so it is best to thin them a little bit so that excess wash doesn't get applied to the model.
>If I remember correctly you can let the agrax shade pool up near the edges if u wanna make shading right?
I'm legitimately confused here. As I don't know if there ever is an instance where wash pooling excessively on a model can be a good thing.
>Thx for the advice btw
No problem, anon.

Since you seem new to the hobby mistakes are inevitable. This is one of the best tutorials I've seen on fixing mistakes.
https://youtu.be/773iX2HmcuU?t=39
I wouldn't recommend the thumb swipe though as it may tear the layer of acrylic paint.
But the the technique where the guy uses a clean wet brush to wipe away an acrylic paint mistake (while it is still wet if it dries you have to paint over it) is smart. I usually do this when I screw up then dry the paintbrush on a paper towel nearby and use the "dried" brush to then soak away the excess water from where I made a mistake and had to wipe away the paint while it was still wet.

>>
>>94845525
Don't let it pool excessively. Otherwise you get ugly splotches where it is extremely dark. You can get those a lot on the bottoms of cloaks and capes of miniatures between the creases of the miniature cape's sculpted fabric waves. You want to make sure that there is some shading on the parts.
This tutorial highlighted part should illustrate what I mean by pooling especially on the bottoms of capes. https://youtu.be/I8WVB2-hU2o?t=801
Gravity essentially forces runny paints like washes downwards and they will collect if too much is applied.

As always since it is your first miniature I recommend that when you're done with him that you varnish the model and store him away in a place where you'll remember him and if you stick with the hobby long enough you'll improve and can look back on your first model and see that you've improved quite a bit.
>>
>>94845548
ah i see what you mean, seems like between the legs would be somewhere it could pool a lot, ill keep a spare damp brush when i do it to wipe away pooling.
>>
>>94845496
Those versus boxes were phenomenal piles of shit. $220 for Jack shit.
>>
>>94845558
NTA, but but also bear in mind that if you don’t shake all washes but Agrax in particular very well, they can leave a shiny finish on models once dry.
>>
>>94845558
>ill keep a spare damp brush when i do it to wipe away pooling
>Not the anon you replied to, but
Often the best way to handle pooling of washes is to move the excess away from where it is pooling elsewhere on the model if there is a spot where the wash has been applied the least. While the anon says that wet watered brushes to wipe away mistakes while the paint is still wet can work, with wash paints they're so watery that even a dry brush or somewhat dry brush can soak away the excess pooling. That is if you can't find a place to redistribute the wash paint elsewhere on the model.

maybe they are listed specifically because they got the moulds retouched? they didn't need to be redesigned in the first place, just for the piling imperfections in the moulds to be addressed

they've done a number of old moulds retouchings recently, especially with the old world, we don't know exactly if that means they have a way to change them without the costs of making a brand new mould, or if they have a budget directed specifically for refreshing old moulds, parallel to the budget that gets spent on actual new products

>so basically if u get pooling try to move it to a spot you haven't covered
Yes and to areas that are covered the least if they are there. When there are no areas I just dry my brush and soak it away. I've never tried using a wet brush to move away excess wash paints before so I can't confirm or deny if it is a valid way of dealing with pooling if moving the wash to other places on the miniature is a good idea.

You're already wrong. Eldar go up for pre-orders on Saturday, release in Feb. Krieg full release is later in Feb. EC would be next, so likely army set pre-order end of March and full release in April.

From there things get more hazy, my guess is that we get DG in May, TSons in June, and July we get WEs. This last bit is important because July is the 25th anniversary of Codex: Armageddon and in the fluff right now the Khorne "blood crusade" is charging full into Armageddon.

This will setup the next major story-arc, the 4th War for Armageddon. Salamanders and Black Templars were the original marines involved in the last Armageddon war and will be the releases around that time. We'll also see MTO classic Steel Legion and Ork models.
