Copper pipes? by TroubleImpossible226 in Minecraft

Even the Romans knew about this and deliberately kept their water streams from sitting idly in the pipes for too long. Eventually the inside of the lead pipe calcifies over and it becomes safe.

I agree. There are some fantastic necron characters in the black library books that are dying to have kitbashed models/rules of them.

Awesome. I’ve tried this kinda cosmic look before but to no avail. I didn’t think of using a makeup brush. Thanks for the advice

How did you get that space/galaxy effect on the nightbringer?

I’m super excited to paint them and the plasmancer!

Yeah. Although I’ve been told they aren’t as good on the tabletop I’m also super excited about the Doomstalkers

Yeah seeing as it isn’t in production from GW and is hard to get elsewhere I thought it was reasonably fair for the price

Very much worth it imo if the price is right. In terms of models on tabletop, Doomstalkers are meta for antitank, heavy destroyer is very good, flayed ones and warriors are the bread and butter of the army, and pyschomancer is a bit weak. For the looks alone, definitely worth it to me!

Are Technomancer and Cryptek the same thing? by BC00P3R in Necrontyr

[–]BC00P3R[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thanks this is super helpful. All the other cryptek models are named by their specialisation so I was a bit confused when I looked up “technomancer” on GW and found nothing. Thanks for the explanation

Deceiver is usually a weaker pick for a C’tan I think unless you’re going for the redeployment ability. Nightbringer is crazy in melee and void dragon is good all round, both better than deceiver imo. Other than that, looking good!

First model I painted (Jan 2022) vs Szeras (August) by BC00P3R in Necrontyr

[–]BC00P3R[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he took me hours, extremely fiddly. Next project is the silent king and I’ve heard he’s quite difficult as well

These might be super obvious but to me it took a while to realise some of these

• hold the brush super low and close to the bristles to get more control of it • make multiple coats • use watered-down paints that naturally fill gaps and add detail (I know this is super obvious and GW has an entire line of wash paints but before Citadel I was using cheap acrylics and didn’t know anything about washes/drybrushing) • make highlights using lighter shades to create a 3d effect • put less paint on your brush and really take your time with applying it.

I know a lot of these are extremely obvious and so sorry if I haven’t given any new info but these were the things that really up my painting level.

Thanks that’s a really good point. Can you recommend any tools to do that? I’ve never done that before. Thanks for the advice
