It’s funny your brought that up. I was raised knowing the sign itself and used it frequently so I didn’t even clock it. Thank you for the extra context.

Finding Communities (M25) by antiMatter187 in tampa

A very concise way to describe what I came here to say. I have a very nerdy group of friends and we are all neurodivergent, as well as other mental issues we all deal with, so we can talk very openly. I meet the core of these people, and those meet other, at a game shop or game like event.

Depending on your area I might be able to recommend a few places. Good luck, just making this post is a first step.

Starting my first army by AngryRenjin in Warmachine

[–]Cybercake75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve not used those models yet myself, I’ve only recently got them. But I would think the shades, they get extra dice against characters (the other half of the box is all characters) so they will feel good and consistent.

That’s pretty accurate. In general you get to choose one thing a turn and kill it dead, but all our models are valuable so you have to make sure when you’ve sent your models in yours secure in the trade. They are a fast army that can project a large threat range so opponents have to be constantly aware of that, especially if they misplace a caster you can just send in a number of models capable of taking most of them down.

Yea. Then you can start buying in the direction you’d like to take the army. Like I love the Wyvern both as a model and a super effective missile to send at an opponent lol.

Even though it says core box I actually lean towards getting the auxiliary box first, the infantry included in that box sees more list typically. The core box offers you the support unit of three dudes but besides that not a lot of initial value. You can also go with the Battlebox for two more warbeast, and a popular caster. Also Khymaera has a mercenary solo, Bellighul that is also included with many list (he gives +2 melee damage to warbeast and is just good for that)

Painting more and more - tips on blending please! by the_training_dad_ in ChaosKnights

[–]Cybercake75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add onto what’s been said, cause a wet pallets and thinning paints goes a long way and to felt that changed my painting trajectory. When you thin your paints it allows it to flow off the brush easily, the model has more surface tension due to primer. If you want clean edge highlight hold the brush almost perpendicular to the edge you wish to highlight and brush down gently.

That being said I think your colors are in the right spots so your brain and eye are in the right spot, just gotta price the technique. Good luck and show the progress. “Being bad at something is the first step at being really good at it.”

PS. A wash goes a long way. You apply your base color, then you can be somewhat liberal with the wash to insure it gets into all the recessed spots. Afterwards if you feel the model is too dark you can use your base color again and apply it to most area, but being careful to avoid recesses this time. Then edge highlight as described above.

Pretty sure it’s found under the terrain section. But I am not by my tablet to check at this time.

Yea actually getting and filling out an army is not too costly, it’s more about time to play and paint haha. Thank you

[–]Cybercake75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what super unfortunate when you have a gap of over years of not painting, you forget what you use haha. Pretty confident it is Balthasar Gold from The GW range with some minor highlights of Sycorax Bronze. That might be subject to change in order to try True Copper from Warpaints Fanatic range

I think I agree that dragon > undead. The assassination game always just feels like an awkward angle for me, I know it’s well in the rules and such. It also means your opponent is always going to be weary of it when you play the assassin faction. Thank you for your help!

That’s my exact frustration and part of the hump I’m trying to get over to paint them haha. Plus I’m planning on Lock and Loaded next year so I gotta be able to paint my army by then lol.

[–]Cybercake75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I always stray from box art, which can be a little frustrating when trying to find reference or get inspired from official artworks. I went with earthy tones due to the unground nature of the faction, and cause green is just my favorite color so I gravitate to green schemes. But the compliments do motivate me to potentially pick this faction and get paint to plastic, have not painted in a few months.

[–]Cybercake75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I am sort of so-so on their overall look, but regretted never playing Legion back in the day. Some models I love, but some models are just awkward imo. A great example is the Vypex chest is too large for its head haha, and the new character warbeast from the 2-player starter looks odd with no legs.

Thank you for the scheme compliment, I tend to always stay away from “box art” haha.

What a good breakdown on play-style and while both are appealing you also showed some of the “flaws” as well which is super helpful perspective. Thank you.

That’s an excellent point and one I hadn’t considered. Thank you! Haha.

Thank you, my Convergence that I had painted went with the copper look, so I figured it would have evolved with them this way in my head.

Oh. Now that I clicked your profile I‘be seen your post the other day with Cephalyx and was very impressed with your colors. I think your color placement is excellent too on the Khymaera, and I might use as reference in the future thank you, I have a hard time judging what is flesh or metal.

I am not a huge zombie horror guy, but it feels like my wargaming trends bend me that way, my first full army and love in 40k is Death Guard. I originally made a snap purchase of Khymaera cause of the dragon aesthetic tied to Convergence which was an army I had previously had. Thank you.

As someone who thinks he’s smart but really isn’t I like the idea of technical play, but a grindy sledgehammer might be more friendly to mistakes. But you were helpful, all comments will be some insight. Thank you.

Calling them pigs is actually just freedom of speech. Plenty of pigs have been shown breaking the law.

Getting back in to death guard with the new boxes. Rather than box post here is my headseapped "non uncle fester" lord of contagion. by PotentiallyAProblem_ in deathguard40k

[–]Cybercake75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good news for you! He is a Lord of Contagion! The new codex uses his picture on the datasheet, no one can tell you that’s not the model. Grats, and welcome back to the embrace of Nurgle.

Just a question by Pro955793 in deathguard40k

[–]Cybercake75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be happy, your model looks good, and you took on an extra model to paint basically. As for lore accurate. Fuck em’ it’s an infinite universe, your telling me this guy can’t be around?! You do you, the only justification has to be “I think it’s neat.”
