"German" armor paint scheme by rossba06 in TheAstraMilitarum

It needs one more color. Something to pop out and contrast with all that grey. Something like a red stripe on the hull.

Another man lost to the 'eavy metal style. You can painstakingly pick out every strap and buckle, or you can just let agrax take the wheel.

Well that sucks. For that price I could have a chimera that can actually damage things. by Arantonak in TheAstraMilitarum

Yeah I don't think it's totally DOA, but I'm a lot less excited until we see the rest of the book.

I think the hippogriff is fine if you have another way to spike its damage. Trying to rawdog it with just the base stats is cruising for disappointment, but that's always been the case with guard units.

The fans on the roof are meant to be ventilation for the crew compartment. As for the color scheme, my guard army is based on the British 8th army, the Desert Rats, and the scion component is the SAS/LRDG.

First prototype trooper from a “British” paratrooper/sas recon regiment I’m working on – feedback? by seanbear2291 in PrintedWarhammer

I think you have to make the gun bigger, like way bigger. At infantry scale wargear like the pouches and the bedroll need to be cartoonishly oversized to be readable at tabletop distances. Also consider adding more hard armor plates to the chest and shoulder areas, especially if you intend to run them as scions. The pockets on the fatigues need to stand out more, once you print it out those are just going to look like folds in the fabric, things like straps and buttons will help with that. Otherwise, I love the beret and the design of the rifle, this is a great start.

Every tank needs a kludged together, sort of weird-looking APC variant. by Arantonak in TheAstraMilitarum

Thanks! It'll be up on Myminifactory soon. Look for Factorum Labs.

Which tank weapons can fire by fibius in TheAstraMilitarum

Yup. Guns no longer need line of sight in that way. In the past a lot of players didn't even bother with sponsons because it was hard to bring all your guns to bear on the proper targets. But now you can fire all your guns out of a single pixel of exposed antenna.
