I remember listening to the Dark Imperium audiobook and distinctly feeling like they were doing a checklist of all the models in the starter set, whether or not they had any relevance to the story at large. I get that it was a tie-in book, but it was egregious enough to take me out of it.

I got one just a week ago for only 30~ bucks
Why are ebay people always so gay? Like.... if GW is selling new in box for 70 bucks, I would obviously go to my local store and get it for 58 bucks. Why would I pay 68 dollars for "new on sprue".

And I can still buy the armageddon boxes too.

This stuff also didn't happen with the indomitus box, people are still selling tons of Nids and termies for rock bottom prices.

ogi
so
i've used nothing but 8k elegoo water washable photoresin since the get-go as i don't want to be bothered with managing a huge vat of alcohol that the cleaning unit i use would otherwise entail
it does not come out clean as such from the spin the unit gives the shit inside the container so i always have to give every part a thorough once-over in the water with a toothbrush just for the sake of better cleaning it of residues and shit
as best i understand an alcohol wash with more conventional resins is typically a lot more effective so that should be kept in mind
1.9s per layer, 0.025mm layer height, very healthy exposure given to the earlymost layers with a transition out of said intensity enabled
i simply do not get print failures when things are supported properly and i'm not using l*chee slicer but chitubox instead because the other is literally defective a not insignificant portion of the time shit is fucked
even crammed-ass hellplates get shat out without issue but the pressures involved can sometimes induce aberrances in sections of the layers that are typically very minor to smooth out

idk what else to add, it's been a tremendously powerful facet to the whole wargaming miniatures thing.

use uvtools to give the slice files a once-over before printing each and every time to be all the more conscientious

the lifetime of a well-kept FEP sheet can run well beyond its stated boundaries. i was playing around with one pushed well over the 100,000 layer mark not long ago before swapping recently just for the sake of playing it safe, the intended lifespan being 60,000, and it could have kept going for a while yet without issue i'd suspect

NTA but this is normal for manufacturing
Production equipment is often rated to "fail" far before it actually would fail; it's rated to "fail" at the point you'd start noticing issues in production so you swap it out. You can reasonably get 2-3x as much work out of something, but you require more skill and mechanical knowledge to know how to work around it, which is why they do this to reduce issues.

I hate airbrushes because I’m incompetent with them. Just wanna prime, varnish maybe basecoat. My models.
Worst part is my airbrush is probably fine it is just my incompetence.

Or do AK thinners and flow improvers just not play nice with pro acryl white and black primer?

Thanks, I was having fun painting these guys at the start of 10th but the rules killed all my motivation so most of my army has been laying around half-finished and I never bought the paints I needed to finish the highlights and layers properly.

I can second the water washable resin. The old Elegoo stuff used to be a pain to work with, but the new stuff is pretty solid. Keep in mind that it's still toxic while liquid, so you still need to wear gloves and such, but being able to clean up with water is a huge benefit

I use an airbrush as part of my kit, but I feel like a lot of people see paintjobs that overuse them where everything's soft and undefined and end up blaming the tool itself and not the application. We've all seen those really shitty looking headlight effects that just look like someone sprayed a big blob of color in front of the light.
They can also sometimes be a pain in the ass to learn at the beginning so some painters just kind of get filtered.

I just read the first Dawn of Fire book and if anything it's even worse. It doesn't help that they NEVER refer to the marines in question as just "marines" or "astartes" or their chapter name or anything, they have to put "Primaris" in every single reference to them even when it's in the middle of a chapter that's made it very obvious what they are.

My opinion is that Votann needed to lean more into the Squat vibe and should've been Biker Dwarves from Space as a White Hat counterpart to the Orks' Black Hat. The Grendl Grendlsen model had so much going for it that they just threw away.

It's probably the game I've put the most time total in my life into other than RuneScape; I got my 20 year cape a few days ago. I started in 2018, only stopped last year because the game finally became unfun as a junk food fps.
The story was just "passable for a shooter" before, then they tore the introduction and a whole bunch of essential side stories out of the game and just left you with a slideshow and said "watch a YT video from one of our approved creators" to pick up the pieces of the setting and story.

Votann are fine as is.
They make perfect sense.
For first, they are just fantasy dwarves but in space, just like how eldar are just fantasy elves in space or how orks are just fantasy orcs in space, etc.
And dwarves in most settings are usually much more advanced technologically than other races around them.
Which perfectly segways into the part where the Votann are the remnants/descendants of the former human super empire from DAoT. Since squats are just abhumans, ie. they have human ancestors.
And based on all the fluff we've gotten regarding DAoT, like how the characters tend to describe it.
The aesthetics for DAoT is basically a generic high tech scifi, kinda like the Van Saar.
So it makes sense that the squats would have similiar aesthetic direction for being literal remnants and an offshoot of the DAoT empire, so they have clean and very high tech look to them.

The sad dregs of a fallen civilization that fucked itself to death, their tech IS retarded homeless person knock-offs compared to what they once had and they're all mentally ill because of their weird rigid society, having to suppress their real thoughts and feelings or else be eaten by Slaanesh.

>but muh advanced Necro-
Are dementia-ridden, glitchy, broken, malware-infested, barely-operating ancient machines that have gone to complete shit over the millions of years they were hibernating as the tomb worlds broke down and stasis fields failed and they went insane. They are not operating at even a fraction of their expected mental capacity and never will.

>but muh advanced Ta-
Won't acknowledge that supernatural forces exist and that this isn't a rational universe, which ironically actually makes them the irrational ones in it. Blindly pretending everything can be solved by plugging your ears and going LALALA REDDIT SCIENCE ATHEISM HOORAY! in a setting where ACTUAL 100% REAL DEMONS AND EVIL GODS ACTUALL EXIST is in fact, retarded and the lore more or less says this will eventually fuck them over, their whole existence in 40k is an ironic joke for the audience who knows what already happened to the Eldar and Humans who were once like the Tau a long long time ago.

Maybe try adding some typhus corrosion, agrax earthshade, things that will give texture and even dirtier tone. The silver just stands out as surprisingly shiny and clean compared to the excellently done wear and tear on the armour panels.

Blanchitsu should be ALL brushwork, with less focus on "smoothness" and "tidyness"; more on color, texture, and "rawness". I think of dry blending with acrylics/rough on model blending of oils, coarse dry brushing, muted and 'grimy' palettes, and emphasis on light vs dark contrasts.

I do have a pretty good lamp already for painting but it's not good for photos because it projects really harsh shadows since I don't have a second one to hit it from two angles. Also the problem is my phone camera is very old and pretty shit, but I'm getting a new one finally in a couple months.

That's all the commission business is. Its not cost effective to do anything different besides airbrushing.

You'll be suprised, commissioned armies look like shit.

I'm planning on doing that for my 'crons but instead of orange glow I want it to look like inky darkness, but I don't know if such an effect is possible

Explain why the basing is so vastly different from mini to mini here then >>98555855 What was the thought process?
>>
>>98555935
it's different because I wanted to be that way, does free thinking disturb and scare anon?
>>
>>98555955
You have no excuse, your lie was different last time we pressed you on this lmao
>>
>>98555955
Why would you want your army basing to be all different? That just doesn't make any sense, what's the logic?
>>
Any opinions orsuggestions for this list, it's mainly just what I've held onto over the years, but I'd appreciate some suggestions for ways to expand.

Nice Coftyrans.
I particularly like your bases.
They look like swamp.

Yeah they're cool, I like the one. It has scouts 8 and lots of guns. The special rule rarely does anything but if you want a scout vehicle he's your guy. 8 is enough to scout onto objectives.
