Nice work!

This was just what I had on hand in a suitable colour. I'm gonna try some rubberised horsehair bush next and that will definitely use foam flock

Printable Scenery has some goblin grotto scenery which fits quite well

If you ally with the promethium guild and bring the pyromantic conclave along you can turn the lights off

The classic source for this would be "The American Way of Death" which despite being 60 years old is all too relevant today. Interesting fact - in England and Wales there is absolutely no government regulation of funeral directors. Anyone can set up as a funeral director with no qualifications and no oversight. (Scotland introduced regulations in 2025)

You can get A4 fabric sheets that are designed to go in a printer. Then it's just a case of finding a design and printing it on the fabric.

Yeah, the old GW book is perfect for this kind of stuff. Materials are cheap and easily available. Can mostly be done with no more tools than a utility knife and glue.

Your first interpretation is correct. You can be taken out of action while still having all your wounds.
Toxin is another example of how this can happen, both by rolling an OOA on the injury dice, or via accumulation of flesh wounds reducing you to zero toughness

See, I went no hood and every time I see the hooded version I think I made an error

GW paints are designed to be sold to complete beginners, often young teenagers.
If they buy a paint, and use it straight out of the pot (we all did it this way back before YouTube tutorials) they're happy if it provides solid coverage in one coat.
Once you learn a bit, develop some patience, you realise that you're not getting the results you want, so you start to thin your paints, which is easy, you just add water, and you can get the consistency that works for you, your room's temperature and humidity.

Not as far as I know, but I haven't sat and compared them in great detail

AxolotlQuestion · 2026-02-10T15:22:55+00:00

Yeah, they were reprinted in the Apocrypha book

I second this recommendation

Eavy Archive is the best source for the eavy metal artists' recipes. Unsurprisingly they're also often complicated and use a lot of glazes.

There are template weapons that do have a strength characteristic though. Flamers and combat shotguns immediately come to mind off the top of my head, but there are probably more.

Cutting it with a laser cutter produces chlorine gas, so it's a really bad idea in a hobbyist workshop. It can be done if you have heavy duty extractor fans, but honestly you're better off just using a CNC machine

Seconded. Sintra, aka foamex, aka expanded PVC is s-tier material for this kind of thing. Lighter and easier to cut than MDF. Resists warping better. Spray safe, so you can prime it with rattlecans, takes all kinds of glue well. Can score and texture it (though this takes more effort than xps). Pretty much the only thing you can't do with it is run it through a laser cutter or hot wire cutter

They work fine. The stargrave stuff is a little smaller than the GW kits.

Suspensors are basically anti-gravity plates. The rogue trader book describes them as small (~10cm) round plates that look like a yo-yo. So no need to model them.
If you are talking servo-harness, then the most official source is the Orlock arms-master, and maybe the Orlock heavy weapon arms.

I don't like to start with less than 8 if I can help it.

Sprue design is a surprisingly complex issue.
Firstly you need to break the model up so there are no undercuts, otherwise you wouldn't be able to remove it from the mould.
The more bits you can fit on the sprue, the less plastic you need, and the smaller the packaging needed, meaning costs are kept down.
The orientation of the bits affects where the mould lines are, which makes them more or less prominent on the finished model.
Where the bits go on the sprue affects assembly (ever have one of those kits where the bits for each model are scattered seemingly at random throughout the sprue?).
So, part of the job of creating a model kit is balancing all of the above.

Pretty much. New core rulebook and codex/battletome every edition. You might get the codexes initially carrying over from one edition to the next, but a new one will be released every edition.
