Is this stuff just a modified wood stain?
I think this was an old miniature speedpainting technique.
I'm not sure how popular it still is or if it is really rendered "obsolete" instead of "old school" where obsolete is what you don't want to return to, but old school is what one can return to for the nostalgia, or just to try something new that still works.

I always thought that the ArmyPainter quickshade dips are just kept around for the older hobbyists coming back and people like me feeling the old good new bad hipster mentality creeping in.

So for anybody here from the era of wood stain shading models, is it still a very good speedpainting method of getting armies out quickly in the current year of this post being made?
And if the ArmyPainter quickshade dips are just "unmodified" woodstain instead of what might be "thin staining" to me, then what is the closest approximate to dark tone dip I can get in this accursed country I call Canada?
>>
>>98410874
Because because in Rogue Trader there were Khorne worshiping Orks.
>>
>>98411347
If it's like AP's typical washes, it should just be a giant pot of thinned-down acrylic paint. Obviously it's still usable if you don't mind a holistic solution to shading, the modern culture of speed painting otherwise is using Contrast/Speed/Xpress/etc Paints (different brands and all) that are basically a base + wash applied by brush.

The safety says it is an oil based product.

So it isn't a pot of acrylic paint. I think Vallejo sells that, but I'm not too sure about it because I read that the new reformulated Vallejo paints bubble a lot or bubble too easily.
>>
>>98411347
It's basically a just combo wash/gloss varnish.

Fair. It says some drying oils are involved which I'd assume the formulation is different to make the whole dip thing work better, and/or has a bit of varnish in it.

Stuff with an updated label comes to mind. Some of them are still usable but the one Pale Sand that people used to dickride was a pain to work with in my experience.

it might have made sense twenty years ago when you could buy a tin of woodstain for £2/£3 from Wilko. If all you wanted was to hit your models with earthshade, it would do the same thing and give them a satin varnish. I feel you'd be better off making your own oil washes to be honest, unless you wanted to do it for retro reasons.

Death Guard apothecary is Brother Corbulo of the Blood Angels.

Iron Warriors apothecary is the late 2nd/early 3rd command squad box set tech marine, narthecium-reductor and phials are from the 4th edition plastic command squad box.

LA's Totally Awesome. This shit is cheap as hell, rips paint off, and doesn't do any discernible damage to the plastic. It has issues with some of the really aggressive primers (old Citadel Chaos Black in particular). You have to soak the mini neat, and scrub it *without using water to rinse*. You may need to re-apply a couple times to get chunky white or bone primer off, it plows through varnishes like they aren't there, and it instantly deletes oil paints. Wear gloves, it pulls the oils out of your skin and causes chemical burns. Does not leave a smell on the models; once you're done with the stripping you just need to soak them in water and scrub until the detergents are off. Can be re-used several times before it loses effectiveness

Second-best is 90% or better isopropyl alcohol. 99% is ideal, 90-95% will still work but they take longer. Doesn't do crevices as well as LA's, but with a plastic pick you can get those cleaned up pretty easily. You need to keep minis soaking in iso covered or you'll fume off all your delicious eyeball-destroying volatiles. Still need gloves because it rapes the oils off your skin and prolonged exposure is toxic, but it won't burn you the way LA's does. No soaking/rinsing required after you clean them, but you should dry the model before you put it back in the solution

>>98429036
Pine-sol fucking reeks and the oils soak into your minis. Can mess up later prime jobs. Ever since they changed the formula from actually using pine oil and coal tar it's gotten much less effective as a stripper

>brake fluid
Works okay, but not as effective as LA's or iso. Also requires more careful disposal.
>>
>>98429820
I'll say be careful with IPA and test it on something you don't give a fuck about first. It worked fine on anything I ever painted with regular acrylics, but I tried stripping some X-Wing prepaints with it once after my Biostrip died and I found they stopped making it, and it just turned the paint into an awful rubbery glue that wouldn't scrub off which then subsequently hardened and bonded with the plastic as a detail-obliterating shell that nothing else could strip.
>>
>>98428960
Strips even enamels.
>>
>>98433162
Not in my experience, I had to turn to fucking mineral turpentine to strip the old DoW metals I had that were painted with enamels. The dettol will take care of damn near everything else, though, even seems to weaken superglue bonds.

I did, after the dettol failed to shift the enamels the first time, when that didn't work it was time for the turps. Was a real frustrating time, desu.

>That's weird because for me this thing burn down everything but CA and plastic.
When I strip metals and old plastic(my own or 2nd hand) that I know were assembled with superglue bits that were solid as a house before soaking come off without even trying when I pick them up out of the soup, so I dunno man. Shit just does things.

>is it still a very good speedpainting method
No. It's viable, but not very good. It wasn't even very good back in the day. What it was was inexpensive, very fast, and just about adequate if you didn't mind a slightly muddy look and the minis would only ever be seen en masse from three feet away. Modern photography would reveal a horrifying mess of drops and runs.

It's a bit rough by modern standards and looks terrible over bright colors (especially yellow) but it looks far better than bare plastic, so if you feel like this will help you get your army painted, go for it. Just keep in mind that it takes a while for this shit to dry and it makes an absolute mess, so work over a disposable surface, wear gloves, and have cleaning supplies nearby. The actual wood stain is oil based so that means paint thinner.

I second the LA totally awesome. You can often find it at a dollar tree for a very good price too. And they will sell you a cheap ass tupperware to do the soaking in.
Slow and steady wins the race. Putting in 20% elbow grease 5 days in a row will get you far more than soaking 5 days and then scrubbing 100%.

I have use it to successfully strip GW plastic, FW resin, and GW fine cast resin all with no problems. When working your goal with the tooth brush is to lift the paint up and off to expose more paint underneath, it sort of wants to sluff off. But it will not remove rattle can primer from Gw plastic the same way. See the attached photo, these are resin and plastic parts to the hybrid vulture kit that I got off eBay. The poor thing must have been through 3 owners because it was repainted 4 times. But you can see the resin engine is almost completely clean, while the black primer on the plastic wings just never comes off all the way, instead it started to get thinner and thinner almost translucent.

Honestly scouts in 3e are pretty nasty as long as you put a decent amount of terrain on the table. Especially if you have an autocannon conversion or two. It's your only non-Dread access to the gun - R48/S7/AP4/HVY 2 is a hell of a drug. Infiltrate + Move-through-cover and smoke grenades are nice too. And of course a few batteries of cheap sniper rifles and a squad or two with shotguns are good for clearing out enemy chaff infantry.
>Templars
They don't really play to *any* of the Scouts' strengths. No cheap heavy weapons, can't use their movement rules, no smokes, they can't even have fucking bolters, and they have WS3/BS3. Which gets them a whole 2-point rebate. The only reason a lot of people took them was for some wound allocation shenanigans that got pretty much immediately removed by the close combat rules update a year or so after the BT codex got published.
If you want special characters, the Dark Angels are the only ones with a Scout character. Their extra rules make close combat scouts a mildly iffy proposition, though. Gotta save versus just standing still and unloading if you're in weapons range.

Personally I have about 25 Scouts I use in a not-quite-White Scars army. Used them for a mix of stuff. Sniping Monstrous Creatures. Shotgunners with a Melta Bomb sergeant are fun for ambushing low-armor enemy squads, and shotties or CCWs are a cheap unit to toss into a Land Raider Crusader. Laying down walls of AP4 fire to knock out transports, Stormtroopers, and Aspect Warriors. They're a lot of fun in the original Kill Team or 40k/40m, too

GW held onto a lot, 'just in case', but some of the guys from the studio were able to keep a few minis they worked on when they left. At least, back in the '80s/'90s, by the 2000s GW was a lot more possessive . Like when Mike McVey left in the late '90s, he was gifted the Green Knight and Tyrion (nice recent photos of those on the studiomcvey Insta). From there, some minis ended up being sold on or gifted, so there are quite a few in private collections

>>
>>98454989
>How do I know oldhammer on the second hand market are not recasts?
There's no *absolute* way to tell, as the recaster can get more and more clever to cover his tracks in exactly the ways that you would use to figure out if he were a recaster in the first place ... but there are some signs to look for:

1). The seller frequently has the same hard-to-find models for sale on multiple occasions. I could buy that you have one or maybe two Ventolin Pirates you're looking to offload, but you've sold eight in the last six months!

2). The seller's models always look pristine, or are made of materials the originals would *not* have been made of. Citadel stopped casting Piscean Warriors before they switched to white metal. If your Sarharduin is not made of lead, it's a recast.

3). The models have defects or features that are consistently in the wrong places. Bubbles, streaks, mis-matched mould lines ... if the originals didn't have them, why does yours?

>So how do I know I'm not being scammed?
I don't think it's possible to ever be 100% certain, but you could get into a high enough confidence level that you might feel comfortable spending a "reasonable" amount of money.

>>98455457
>As long as it's useable I wouldn't give a shit tbqh.
This is actually not an unreasonable track to take. I'll likely never get my hands on a real Bedford Marine, so I'd be willing to buy a recast as long as the seller isn't asking for too much.
>>
>>98454989
I work on the principal anything that is clean white metal is a recast, especially if it doesn't have a base.

Also see/ask for pics of the base and see if it is dated appropriately for the model.

Look at what else they are selling and look for mounted models, most of these had unique metal horse heads so anything mounted should have the correct head. But anything with the horse head separate and no plastic horse I would assume is recast.
>>
>>98455724
>especially if it doesn't have a base.
>Also see/ask for pics of the base and see if it is dated appropriately for the model.

Wth do you mean by that
>>
>>98455876
If it doesn't have a base it's very likely to be a recast. All my models are either assembled, or stored with their base. Most wargamers are also autisimos so store things properly, especially 15+ year old models they've kept a hold of. Would you really still have the model but not the base if it was a legitimate model?

Most GW metal models, and anything from Mail Order, stopped around 2008. Therefore if the model does come with a base, it should be dated 2008 or earlier. You can get super autistic and look for a date corresponding to the year the model was released give or take a few years.

And the obvious check if the model still has it's tab and is in a slotta-base, rather than tab cut off and mounted on a standard base.

Obviously none of this is fool proof, just my system. If it doesn't meet my autistic check list I won't pay more than recast prices for it.

I'm not sure how ten-to-a-penny plastic bases prove anything about the metal they may or may not be glued to. That's a unique viewpoint.
>>
>>98456160
It's not about proof it's about balance of probabilities. Someone selling old models from their/a relatives collection is likely to be selling models either assembled on an era-appropriate base or still packaged with it's original base.

Someone selling recasts is far more likely to be selling a bare metal model with no base, or a modern base. It would be more effort than it's worth to hunt down the right base for all the recasts and match them I would have thought.
>>
>>98456160
>>98456200
Troll Trader, which to my knowledge is the largest retailer of used models who advertise their models as genuine seem too often sell lot of same somewhat rare models with exactly this kind of charasteristics which alert me about their genuity. Might as well go buy recasts at that point. I absolutely get the point of >>98455724 if hunting for real deal but when just assembling oldhammer army to play with this is what I do too >>98455457
>>
>>98456492
Basically the entire trade in oldhammer minis is done on trust. If someone wanted they could find original bases, slap a terrible paint job on a recasts with Airfix enamels and sell them as originals, or even go as far as finding original packaging. So even using my, or any other, autistic system is far, far from fool proof.

So >>98455457 is the best way to go if not buying directly from recasters. Set yourself a price limit of what you'd happily pay and be happy to have the models you want.

Those pages are from the 'Eavy Metal Modelling Guide. The companion book to the two painting guides, lots of nice ideas for kitbashing and light conversion work for mid-'90s army building. There's a full scan in one of the Mega links in the OP Pastebin, Blanche's CSMs are featured at the very end

The Citadel Miniatures Modelling Guide (part of the 'Eavy Metal series)

Better track down yourself a pdf because it's rare as fuck as print copy. It's one of the other books that was along with the legendary how to build terrain book they made, and the others were painting guides (of which the 40k one was genuinely better than the fantasy one) but the modelling guide was full of how to do conversions stuff. All the basics of pinning and modelling putty and step-by-step of jamming bits of kits together to make new things, some of which regularly featured in the White Dwarf battle reports.

Even just basic shit like how to spend a fuckton of money on a metal character figure to get a little moon for a plastic ork conversion. Or hack up 4 metal marines and a plastic bit to make a single captain (there's a great bit where someone has had to physically paint the sections of what to cut off on four models).
It's still not the best, there's a degree of Draw the Rest of the Owl here and there and really you're basically supposed to study and practice for yourself. And with modern tools you can do a fuckload more, like clone shit with oyumaru cheaply, or use sprue-goo all over the place as a thing because now so much is plastic even if you're not using GW stuff. And oh fuck vehicle kits have come so far it's ridiculous.

Basically what I am getting at is it's obsolete as a teaching tool but a nice artefact.

The clear flying bases look nice but those old ones really are usefull for status effects. Just because it was cheaper using the existing ones from 40k they changed to them.

It has but I'm not sure if the Champion is considered to be a part of the unit, that would bring it over the limit of 10.

If the Champion isn't in Terminator armour, its allowed. The wording is pretty clear.
I'd be fine to houserule terminator armour being okay if an ogryn is okay by taking up 2 model spaces personally. Its a lotd list, we're not playing some sort of super serious tournament.

You don't understand, it says "Traitor squads numbering 10 or less", I'm asking if 10 Traitors + 1 Champions is over the limit despite Chimeras having space for 12 models.
>>
>>98466030
Oh I get your boggle.
It is not over the limit if the champion is not wearing terminator armour.
>Traitor squads number 10 models or less AND not led by a Champion in Terminator armour MAY
The champion is attached to the unit in addition to the base 10, the same way a Commissar is attached to an Armoured Fist unit. There wouldn't be any point to saying the Chimera has 12 spaces otherwise.

Several of the early Citadel rattlecans were actual etching primers. It burns into the material and dyes the surface of the model. If everything else is cleared off, then you can just reprime the model and roll with it. Dark Angel Green had the same thing going for a while, I have Battletech models where the tin is permanently dyed even after multiple acetone baths.

As somebody who makes 3D models for fun it is quite exhausting.

Do I upload my models for money? Yeah. Do I care about piracy? Not really as I'm kind of just paying for my own subscriptions and that's it.

I find it exhausting because it's just the consumerization of the hobby. It's the same problem as "look at my kitbash" and it's an intentionally designed head swap or some half assed terrible gun swap. Personally I blame two things: the removal of wargear points and not gatekeeping hard enough. People just want that cheap high without putting work in. I think the proof for this is the fact they always just post unpainted models. It's no different than Funko collectors, no hobby all consumption.

>>98518967
Shouldn't the warboss be T5 at initiative 4? Unless you're all in mega armour.
But yes chaos lords in 3rd with the updated codex could get nuts.
Are you at least using the Chapter Approved sweeping advance rules? You can try tar pitting the chaos lord with a lot of grots, they're not going to win but they're not going to be outnumbered or below 50% for a while and with the reroll from a Squig Hound can keep the lord and company occupied for a few turns while you and the boyz go accomplish mission goals.
>>
>>98519189
He is in Mega Armour, but he's also T4 in the 3E Codex, which I'm using despite playing 4E.
>>
>>98519497
Yeah, was thinking to your earlier refernce about them letting your warboss be T5.
No experience with the 4e ork codex, limited orks in 3rd, I any mostly looking at the codex and thinking of ways to have stopped my chaos lord.
I was rolling mark of slaanesh, combat drugs and lightning claws. Just shoot that fucker.
What's the chaos lord kitted out with?
>>
>>98519562
>What's the chaos lord kitted out with?
Dark Blade, Strength and Mutation. I could technically one-shoot it with the Klaw, but he's got Chosen to sacrifice. I also cannot go higher than a Warboss + 5 Nobs since that's all I can fit into a Looted Chimera (WD clan rules).
>>

>>
>>98520869
>looted Chimera
Based Blood Axe. You have to be more cunningly brutal.
Loot a Leman Russ, shoot the git.
Put a grot mob in their way, 30 grots and a slaver with a squg hound for ld rerolls costs the same as just the Chaos lord, heck buy two. Tie up him and the Chosen squad for 2-3 turns.
Going last against 5 or more st7 power weapon attacks is not going to work.

>>98522266
You've got more wargear than I tend to go for, things like the Adamantine mantle, bionics, etc. end up eating a few points. Are you planning on putting all three HQ in the crusader with the terminators?
Why not just give them terminator armour at that point?
You're low on long range anti tank, so if you had to I'd be inclined to either keep the pred and get rid of the dred and vindicator, which goes against my desire for cool shit.
Could skip the pred and put a twin lascannon on the dreadnaught.
Could condense a Crusader squad to 10 marines, 5 neonates and an extra spot for a character, load them into the crusader. The squad numbers as is now are a bit off if you only have one rhino and 2 ccw squads.
>>
>>98522773
My plan was to have the marshal and EC with the big melee squad in the land raider and the 9 with the chaplain in the rhino. Deep strike the terminators with that teleport homer from the marshal.
>>
>>98522805
Got it.
I'd be inclined to take a few less toys and get the melee squad going in the crusader up to 14 models for more bodies.

If you need to do 1500 you can pull the footslogger crusader squad, dred and one of the tanks depending on what you're facing.
>>
>>98522848
I've never actually played yet, just planning out my list and what to get. How much will I regret only having 2 troop units? I hear troops are quite important cause they're the only scorers here.

Don't know where you got that idea from.
The SM/BT codexes even have an exception for land raiders taken as dedicated transports.
>>
>>98522860
Varies by the mission quite a bit. There was some focus on Troop choices specifically for Cleanse missions but most of the other options have different descriptions that are less specific.
Trying the different missions, or even rolling it randomly, is a lot of fun.

>>98522848
And are dreds good? I've heard they're somewhat of a mixed bag, I figured with venerable and extra armor he'd be a bit more useful.

Sorry to be that faggot, but where can I find old pieces like this? The M3g@ is nice but it's missing a lot of OH/MH stuff. I just want an old Carnifekz and Maranus Calagari.
>>
>>98523157
Mine always got shot to pieces in short order but mine was covered in spikes and I didn't have a lot of other heavy stuff to draw fire.
Never ran one with venerable, might help.
Overall I think they're cool but slow so I'd be hesitant to give it a short range weapon unless you're playing missions where it makes sense.
All that being said, when we were kids we just went with what we had and rolled missions anyway, didn't always work out.

That's a rule from the late 4e fan tournament scene that finally got codified in 5e or 6e as core rules. Specifically designed to keep WAAC-fags from taking two five-man units of Scouts or grunt marines with Razorbacks and then maxing out all the other spaces on the force org chart

I had most of my Third Company Blood Angels army, which ranges from Rogue Trader to Fifth Edition, out on my Armies on Parade board for years. I took to covering it with a big black plastic contractor bag to keep the dust off, and some still managed to find a way in there.

I packed it all up and put it away when our foster cat decided he liked to be at the tallest point in my hobby room. After this picture, there were about a dozen casualties.

Unrelated to that episode, he might be going home to his family this weekend.

Pick better groups without public invites that get spammed everywhere else
They can be replaced as easily as they are taken down
I seeded my grog packs on there hopefully they spread to everywhere
>>
>>98530458
As an addendum, don't just find a single group and expect it to always be there. Find smaller, more niche groups, some are dedicated to specific factions or systems, and even if there might be some overlap in files, you have the security of knowing that not all of them can be DMCA'd in a single strike.
Learn how to archive too. If you find a file you like or seems interesting, immediately send it to your saved messages, even if the group is deleted you'll retain access to it in your saves. It takes literally no storage space and at most three seconds.
Finally, don't expect to be spoonfed and moan about secret clubs or whatever. Most people have spent a good amount of time and effort getting to the good groups, you're kind of expected to be part of the community, not just a beggar looking for a quick fix.

Man this is such horseshit, but at least you faggots are now openly admitting that you do this stuff to feel some tiny empty shred of control in your sad little lives and have dropped the pretense that you're doing it to "protect" things.

Imagine being given a way to endlessly share with zero risk to yourselves and no ability for corpos to shut you down permanently and immediately reinventing the Sekret Klubhouse faggotry of recasting, which at least had the figleaf of recasters being actual physical businesses that could be sued. And you know damn well that you didn't work for fuck all, when you got into those groups it was as simple as searching for shit in the app and walking in, now you've all vanished up your own bumholes, gone private, and expect people to psychically divine criteria for entry you won't reveal to places that literally cannot be found without a direct invite. Bunch of ladder-pulling poofters.

It's sad that you feel this way. I would also love for the files to be publicly available, but that's just not the case. Things used to be a lot more open until the Indian resellers popped up some time ago.
>zero risk to yourselves and no ability for corpos to shut you down
Sadly not the case either. Most of the good scans are paid. It takes time and money to get ahold of rare models to scan and a good setup to do so. GW can and has infiltrated groups to get the payment info on scanners and legally threat them using it.
>Inb4 "scans should be free then"
A large chunk of them are, some have been freely released by their authors, many more have been leaked from private groups.
>it was as simple as searching for shit in the app and walking in
Except it wasn't, again, interacting and becoming part of the community is not just me spewing bullshit, it's how I've been finding my way into groups. There's a big difference between being a reasonable, trustworthy human being and someone coming in, asking for gibs and hoping to get everything they're looking for within the hour. Amicable guests tend to get invited to more places.

Funny you should say it that way, anon. I ended up packing most of them away in one of the old-fashioned Citadel carrying cases after the incident I described in >>98528703. I usually just pick a photograph out of my "My Blood Angels" folder when we get close to page 10 to bump us back up to the top.

So, in honour of your request, here's a brand-new never-before-seen picture of my crusty Blood Angels to keep us off page 10. Actually, it might get us that much closer to the bump limit.

That's not how it works in the 3rd edition, since he is a character you can choose to direct your attacks at him specifically as long as your warboss (or any model with klaw) is in base contact. The only problem is that he can also direct his attacks at your Warboss.
