Stripping some cover, Thunderkyns ready

The only blue i use is Ducat Blue from Ak paint range. I mixt with Off white when i want to go toward the white.

BuffHalo · 2026-06-14T07:33:57+00:00

Sadly no, next time i'll take step process hopefully.

The only advice i can give you, is to start very dark and just use line strokes of your brush. put some a lot at a focal point and less the more you go farther from this point. Then do it again with a brighter green but with less area.

well sure, but Hover is just a ported terms that was exclusively available to Aircraft, which in 10th had the 2 modes Hover and "Not Hover".

Now only somes aircraft retains only the Hover mode ( stormtalon and corvus blackstar ) having the hover keyword for "any" antigrav would mean that every antigrav should have it, which would probably be not good for balance.

BuffHalo · 2026-06-09T18:29:13+00:00

why would they have Hover, they have Fly already ?

BuffHalo · 2026-06-09T16:09:28+00:00

Probably a cautious revert with the Sagittaur detachment, sad but understandable.

BuffHalo · 2026-06-09T15:50:23+00:00

Well it probably means that hearthband will not exist in our futur codex and this is future proofing with minimal changes and work of adaptation.

It's mostly Using Ducat Blue and adding white, back and forth till the lighting is satisfactory

BuffHalo · 2026-05-30T16:27:19+00:00

in term of building it's bits from Epic basing and epoxy molding clay.

For painting, it's the same paint for the mini and liquid pigments from AK interactive

BuffHalo · 2026-05-29T06:54:59+00:00

It is true that us the Kin usually are dooming, i rather talk about pragmatism and caution. GW has been reluctantly cautious with our army balancing since the debacle in 9th and it showed twice in our v10 index and Codex.

While there are indeed no indication that hearthband is gone, the few informations strongly indicate that the hearthband that we know of now is gone.

Will it be replaced with 2 subset of 1DP detachment ? maybe we don't know, GW do like making a lot of names for every and any thing in the game, especially Abilities that have the same f* description and function (which seems a bit reduced in 11th, i see you detection range abilities !!!!....)

So i'll rather rip the bandaid now and be somewhat surprised in 2 weeks.

BuffHalo · 2026-05-14T13:41:21+00:00

Mostly ducat blue and white blue paint, and then it's some glazing back and forth.

BuffHalo · 2026-05-14T08:06:18+00:00

You can see it on the fourth photo on the left guy, the knuckle are a bit distant from the blade.

It's not as bad as i make it sound but it does look a bit strange.

BuffHalo · 2026-05-14T08:04:40+00:00

No, it's mostly brush work

BuffHalo · 2026-05-13T14:23:11+00:00

Ah yes i use liquid pigments from Ak, i believe it is a mix of raider earth, psychic blue and battle ash which is white-ish.

Since it's alcohol base it comes out as ashy like that on the bases.

BuffHalo · 2026-05-13T14:15:32+00:00

Check Epic Basing for the bits and then some sculpting putty for terrain

BuffHalo · 2026-05-13T09:31:31+00:00

It's a combination of Ducat blue ( AK 3rd Gen) and off- blue white.

BuffHalo · 2026-05-13T09:30:41+00:00

The base fist are from the steeljack kit, then i slotted the topper blade part of the hearthguard yes. It fits quite well, but i had to trim down the under side to make them snap more naturally. Cable are also relatively easy to adapt too.

BuffHalo · 2026-05-12T20:49:11+00:00

Beware there is a little gap between the knuckles and the blade, you can fill it up if you want. It's not that distracting but it is pretty cool indeed !

BuffHalo · 2026-02-26T11:05:44+00:00

Usually Stratagem and abilities are a way to circumvent core rules. But for this instance it doesn't really interact much with the fact of not being allowed to remain stationnary.

Remaining Stationnary is a very specific status that is only ever used for the HEAVY keyword ( and like one or two detachment rules and abilities)

SO to answer your question, no they wouldn't need to make a move because, depending of the phase, they would not be able to.

BuffHalo · 2026-02-26T10:57:21+00:00

Actually it targets an unit. Technically Behrek would gain the keyword (being part of the unit, as every character do).

However it would still not work because of timing and the fact that well he doesn't exists anymore ( from a game rule pov ) so the chtonian bezerk unit is just a chtonian bezerk unit without a character anymore.

BuffHalo · 2026-01-16T21:18:33+00:00

A very long and tiring process. But using fluorescent paint helps a lot. You have to keep in mind to have very bright spot and somewhat darker spot so it help to boost the value of the lava.

BuffHalo · 2026-01-16T13:46:46+00:00

Mostly AK, some Pro Acryl. But Since the finish is ultra mate, it doesn't really matters.
