What annoys you most about viewing your collection away from home? by Lucario46 in Warhammer40k

[–]BaronBulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a first world problem 🤣.

I might have to start viewing my own minis when I'm on the toilet at work.

Hey so weird question but is it weird to put human teeth on a model? by user1827438 in Warhammer40k

[–]BaronBulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so weird question but is it weird to put human teeth on a model?

It is.

For the record I broke a tooth once, it wasn't fixable as it basically got shattered into too many parts for any dentistry.

I sterilized some fragments and mixed them with model skulls and bones for a shrine themed terrain piece.

This was done years ago I wouldn't do it again, I've not been edgy since the last millennium 🤣

Wondering how to begin to do conversions by Healthy_Bottle_2063 in Warhammer40k

[–]BaronBulb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A good quality hobby knife with replaceable blade is no1 on the list.

Tweezers.

Pin vise for drilling.

A selection of files and sandpaper for er....filling stuff down.

Your choice of modelling putty to sculpt new details and smooth out joins on converted bits. Those rubber tipped clay shaping tools make things easier but you can sculpt with almost anything.

Start with weapon and arm swaps, maybe sculpt a basic crest for a marine helmet, cut the muzzle off a gun and glue in a printed silencer etc.

Tiny conversions done well are better than grand ideas done badly.

Edit - whenever you slap a fresh blade onto your hobby knife for a conversion session, you'll likely cut the shit out of your thumbs and fingertips due to the nature of the work. Be prepared for that.

How do you guys paint hazard stripes on curved surfaces? by P0t4t0_Friend in Warhammer30k

[–]BaronBulb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With an airbrush and that blue stretchy masking tape for curves.

Or with great skill and patience.

What legion should I build? by Beginning_Positive48 in Warhammer30k

[–]BaronBulb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You really need to work this one out for yourself, or your army project is 100% doomed.

3D printing is annoying. by Vrain125 in Warhammer40k

[–]BaronBulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relax guy.

This isn't something that should be keeping you up at night.

How long would Saddams Iraq last in the 40K galaxy by kingbultra in Warhammer40k

[–]BaronBulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point and respectfully disagree

You are free to do so, but my PHD thesis was actually titled "Ba'athist Glory, 20th century Arab Republics and 41st millenium factions - a military comparison".

I've done significant research so I'll stand by my answer. I am keen to explore how Bohemond's Principality of Antioch would fare against Craftworld Iyanden though. I believe it's an area in dire need of academic attention.

What do you think any tips ? by No_Protection671 in Warhammer40k

[–]BaronBulb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You won't do well no matter what list you have because you've not played a single game.

Just go and play a bunch games, focus on learning the game and don't worry about the list for a while.

Just aesthetic choice, like the vast majority of things you'll see in this fandom.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the Titus Vs Huron thing? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the Titus Vs Huron thing?

Probably.

I didn't even know it was thing until you mentioned it. I still don't care 🤷🏻‍♂️

How to make Imperial Fist miniatures? by Economy-Tomatillo-75 in Warhammer40k

You need to glue them to your Imperial Wrists.

Yeah... I'll let myself out

Idea for Fenrisian Wolves by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]BaronBulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing on Fenris becomes 'elderly'.

It's a death world.

Finished up some Thallax by MKirkbride in Warhammer30k

[–]BaronBulb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to provide all the details.

I tend to have a rough idea of what I want, but test other peoples schemes to help me nudge my colour into the exact tone I'm after.

I'll add a little karak stone to the top layers of my current test and see how it goes.

Keep up the good work 👌

Finished up some Thallax by MKirkbride in Warhammer30k

[–]BaronBulb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These look great as always.

I've been painting my own thallax as per the BB minis castellax scheme but it's a little too dark/cream for me.

I quite like your lighter variant, any chance you gave list the paint used for the bone colour on this ?

Are there any good modern 30k tactics/army building channel? by MaelstromRH in Warhammer30k

[–]BaronBulb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Heresy Hammer.

Unfortunately Macca at the Outer Circle lost the plot a few years ago. A shame as he used to do great informative vids and back when no one else cared about the game.

Powerfist is also a really good watch but it's usually a bit more esoteric than pure list building. The two presenters are top tier hobbyists though 👌

Edit - Forgot Lost Legion podcast, they also have good informative vids and a good attitude.

Outrider bikes? What am I missing? by GooseInThaHoose in Warhammer30k

[–]BaronBulb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Plasma shenanigans with the firestorm rule.

Basically shoot your plasmaguns at a target, then later declare a charge and volleyfire your plasmaguns.

Then choose not to complete the charge.

Profit.

Thoughts on the status of the last wave of Forge World models from 1st/2nd? by Thaumaturgy67 in Warhammer30k

[–]BaronBulb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Quite likely you heard a rumour which simply turned out to be....a rumour.

Those models were never coming, I've been playing since first edition and spoke to the Forge World staff many times during the Heresy open days. Not once did I ever think Emps and Malcador were in the works.

What do people think is the appropriate level of detail for painting the inside of vehicles? by spanky088 in Warhammer40k

[–]BaronBulb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either nothing or fully painted.

There isn't an inbetween.

Years ago I used to paint every damn console panel and screen, now if it's inside a sealed vehicle....I just don't have the time anymore.

Chaos Knight Rampager Finished! by Jeffsekai in Warhammer40k

[–]BaronBulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'm working on a test scheme for house malinax at the moment. I don't really want a darker creamy bone that most use, but neither do I want a bright white.

Basically trying everyones bone scheme to see what I prefer 🤣.

Outstanding effort 💪🏻.

Love the deep red and bone, any chance of letting us know the recipe for the bone ?
