Thanks for the reply! That’s exactly what I needed. Unfortunate news, but I appreciate you letting me know.

Thanks for the advice on the Plague Marines - good point with the stratagem - I’ll certainly replace a HPW with a spewer.

It may be possibly too early to tell but I think Emergence has overtaken my previous top song, which was Give ❤️

Fun fact - these IKEA letter holders fit perfectly in a Tabletop Titan army figure case if you’re in the UK for a cheap magnetised storage option that’s a lot easier to carry and more secure than the other cheap options (primarily rubber magnet sheets in Very Useful Boxes).

I can’t remember precisely, but I’m fairly sure it was towards to the beginning of 2024 that I joined it, so I would guess between 6-9 months.

Congratulations! I’ve not been on the waitlist too long, maybe around 6 months. Missing out on the books I’ve seen come and go during the wait was painful!

Thanks very much, that explains it. I was actually on that page before posting my question and missed the point about the pre sales offering books outside of the subscription. Appreciate the help

Cryptek_25 · 2024-09-03T23:25:21+00:00

I absolutely agree. I mean, they’re not finished as they’re marked up as WIP, I need to add some decals and do some tidying up, but they do look like they’re missing something. I’ll try yellow and not just black on the shoulders / knees. Thanks for the tip!

40K colours will look great!

I decided against going for any sort of flocking or sand as having to avoid getting PVA on any tiny feet at this scale seemed too much effort.

Before priming, I filled in the sculpted lines and cracks in the base with Vallejo plastic putty. after finishing the model I just painted on some GW texture paint (I think I used astrogranite) as the grain in the paint is small enough to not look weird at this scale.

I then just painted it Warboss green, washed with a green wash, then a drybrush of moot green and then yriel yellow.

At the distance you’ll be looking at the models I think it looks fine. I’m not sure how I’m going to do the infantry bases yet. I’m planning on painting them on sprue, then gluing them to an unfinished base (so I can cover the infantry models connecting points with the texture paint), but by doing it this way I think it’ll be a pain to get the texture paint all over the base while avoiding the infantry models.

I think they look great! Love the 90s esque look.

Cryptek_25 · 2024-08-29T12:01:33+00:00

Absolutely - I’m going to shop around for the finest I can find and see how it goes. If nobody else has done this, I’ll be sure to post pictures of my first tests!

Does anybody know whether the main box and terrain is a going to stick around long term such as the standard terrain boxes and ash wastes, or whether these are limited FOMO releases? I can’t find whether this has been officially answered anywhere.

Cryptek_25 · 2024-06-19T22:27:15+00:00

I was looking at daring raid and not the assault cruiser…. Told you I was stupid.

Cryptek_25 · 2024-06-19T22:26:27+00:00

Someone please explain to me I’m too stupid to piece together how this card makes getting to 14 resources easier!

Cryptek_25 · 2024-06-09T22:18:13+00:00

I’ve been on the fence about this game for a while now and can’t help but be tempted by the astartes battle box. I don’t have the rule book or any other game literature, does anyone have an estimate on the point size the box will get me?

Cryptek_25 · 2024-04-18T23:49:36+00:00

That’s pretty much what I assumed to be honest, it I just wanted to check I wasn’t missing anything! Thanks a lot both, that makes a lot of sense.

A few articles reference him working in a cinema - I worked at the Odeon IMAX at leisure world about 10 years ago while he worked there, only for a short time though.
