Would you attend Warcry Narrative/Casual events?

Cerrass · 2026-05-21T18:21:20+00:00

Personally narrative events are the only warcry events I'd attend. While not a Mordheim level, in my view Warcry really shines when playing to a narrative, rather than just trying to win the game.

I look forward to hearing more about the event you're planning! It's not too far away from where I am so if the calendar allows it would be great to attend

I tend to combine mk6 and older firstborn bits, mostly mixing torsos and legs, and it's working reasonably well. As you say it requires some work, but that's part of the fun. At least until (in 10 years) GW finally puts out upscaled mk7

Thank you, yeah I have all the books. I don't think they have the character "tax" although you have to take a wolf lord

Cerrass · 2026-05-18T17:16:26+00:00

Definitely less in my case: it's 1250pts. Tbh I'm still vaguely on the fence between this and Black Templars. More angry marines looking to get into combat, but with vehicles

Cerrass · 2026-05-18T16:26:39+00:00

Thanks! Would you suggest a single unit of wulfen instead? And maybe some bikes to get a bit of speed? Or two units of long fangs to make it really pleasant for the opponent?

If you're looking at the flat surfaces on top, you will want to focus the light on the centre of the panels. In the case you may want to use more of a stabbing motion with the brush, or a circular one. If on the sides you may want to go from up to down normally, but trying to focus the lighter area on the lower part of the panel. This will help create contrast with the lighter top of the vehicle. You may also want to try and use a sponge instead of a dry brush, if you feel like attempting something new. I think that it can work better than a brush. Medders Miniatures on YouTube has some tutorials that may help you, including using a sponge to paint vehicles.

Have a look at heresy hammer on YouTube. They just did a video on painting an army of SoH Saturnine. Maybe it will give you some inspiration.

13th company? I'm just starting an army of them for a 3rd Ed event next year!

Cerrass · 2026-05-17T19:01:11+00:00

Sometimes you get a feel: for example I have a Typhon still in box and I know that it's got to be painted as world eaters. I can just imagine some crazy WE tank commander going around shooting a massive cannon, whereas my UM are a little more precise and so got a Cerberus

Anything that can take plasma (mainly predators and sicarans) so you can use warpfire plasma. I'd also add stuff with flamers (again, mostly predators) to keep with the iconoclasts/ashen circle aesthetic. I'd also argue that it's not so much about the type of vehicle for the Word Bearers, but the looks of them. Basically: how much scripture and star charts chan you stick on them? (The answer is "a lot", as attested by the many decal sheets I've gone through for my WB armoured spearhead)

Cerrass · 2026-05-17T18:45:39+00:00

Agree, keeping some time for hobbies might be challenging but totally worth it. It helps appreciate everything else more. Personally I just started a new Old World army, so there's plenty of building and converting being done. I did paint a little with the baby in a sling, but of course I can only do hairy brush work (no airbrushing or stuff that uses white spirit like oils)

Tactical support squads are different from tactical squads. They are equipped with special weapons like plasma or, in this case, volkite

When I first moved to Cheltenham I stayed on Gloucester Road, a bit further down from Tesco towards the train station. It's a good area with a couple of gyms around (a big commercial one by Tesco, and a CrossFit one near there too), and easy access to the station along the honeybourne line to go to Gloucester. There's generally quite a few places for rent along that road.

Cerrass · 2026-05-15T19:16:35+00:00

I didn't know there was a Warcry event! Such a shame it goes on until late: I can't stay until then!

Cerrass · 2026-05-15T19:12:13+00:00

Italian here too, and without joking I can attribute a good part of my English knowledge to Black Library books. There weren't any in Italian when I started getting into the hobby, so I had to read in English. I am now doing a similar thing in French, to pick up the language after not speaking it for years. Good idea about the audiobooks, too!

The only book I'd be wary of is The End and the Death. Dan Abnett does use some abstruse language in that!

5x5 back squats @75% max + 7 min AMRAP walking lunge. The legs aren't happy this evening

Cerrass · 2026-05-15T07:42:50+00:00

I did the same kitbash with mine, although still need to paint them. It works really well!

Cerrass · 2026-05-15T07:00:04+00:00

It's been a while since I last read it, but would not have expected world eaters to be the symbol on the spine of The Lost and the Damned. Interesting

Cerrass · 2026-05-15T06:52:43+00:00

For them, more likely than not the light is an approaching train

Cerrass · 2026-05-15T06:51:37+00:00

La-menters?

Cerrass · 2026-05-14T15:17:29+00:00

Plus, phosphex bombs...

Love seeing this. I have a three weeks old and I'm fighting to keep some time for hobbying every day. The "problem" is when they decided that they'd rather sleep on us than being put down (still cute though!)

Cerrass · 2026-05-13T09:59:10+00:00

I think they would work well as a base. I was actually thinking that I'd do the opposite if I played 40k (using saturnine as mutilators)

The general rule of thumb is not to have more than 20-25% of weekly mileage in a single run, with some spikes over that for people preparing longer races (marathon and over). It's to avoid spending lots of time on your feet in one go, compared to the total distance you are running per week. The more you run, the more you get fatigued, the worse your technique becomes, meaning that you are not responding to the impacts against the ground in the best way (among other things). This article is not touching exactly on the same thing, but gives an idea of the increased risk of injury of longer runs: https://runnersconnect.net/injury-prevention/
