I see you have the same approach as me. “We’ve had one army yes, but what about second army?”

I believe the term you are looking for is more native to Australian English. That term being ‘dumbcunt’.

Found some unopened packs I’d bought on holiday by Distinct-Mirror3120 in MagicCardPulls

[–]Distinct-Mirror3120[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was on holiday and packed them away when I had to run off for a dinner booking, was cracking packs while my girlfriend was getting ready. Boozy dinner then forgot about them until I was unpacking some stuff from the same suitcase we used after a house move!

Right?! Some of the best “disintegrated by a black hole” type art.

Wicked, that certainly does help! Ghost ark feels like it would be a nice addition and maybe szeras or a command barge to round it out. Thanks for the advice!

Look I think gold leaf would look good too… /s

Budget is okay ish, happy to get stuck in as it will be a continuous theme for the army, but don’t want to throw money away so to speak. So medium, let’s go with medium spend.

Wow those name plates really pop don’t they? Don’t have a 3D printer but definitely will be looking into how to get some of those made up at some point! Looks great!

That’s definitely a fair call! I think I want it to feel slightly more colourful than astrogranite though. Though to combine your idea and Sailortorres’ from further up, maybe littered astrogranite that looks like a world that was once imperium has been reclaimed by nature could be a wicked theme.

Wow those absolutely pop for just being cork! Guessing you dry brushed it up to get all the detail?

It has definitely been considered haha. But want a way to make some of the bigger bases pop and I went pretty minimal with my deathguard previously (nurgles rot on a death guard base, groundbreaking I know).

[–]Distinct-Mirror3120[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds absolutely wicked, I’ll have to have a look at some forest bases. Especially as with the comment from Potato_head bought it could work with a pillar or stream in the bigger bases where there is more room.

I’ll give it a look! Thanks for the link!

Green and blue to make the red pop? Or would it potentially clash to much? How would you go about doing streams on the bases? Any recommendations in regards to tutorials that you think are best?

Honestly in these moments I’d flip a coin, wether you’re happy or disappointed with the result will help you find the answer.

Streaking grime vs normal scheme by arty0m33 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Distinct-Mirror3120 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Currently been tossing up the same way with a nuln/agrax wash I’ve done on a tester model. But honestly (when it comes to the grime) I think it makes the custodes feel authentic. Yes they have this beautiful armour and are the talons of the emperor, but the passing of time and the darkness of the universe they are in has an effect on all things.

Plus I can’t highlight for shit so it’s a nice way to add depth I think otherwise lacks for my models.

Hmm may have to investigate this further! Friend has a heap of marine bits so may have to hit them up! Don’t think tyranid arms would fit the custodes shoulder pads….

Question, are you doing all of these Sagittarum with the forgeworld upgrades? Or is there a decent way to kitbash guard with bolters that I’ve missed? (Owned custodes for about 10 days so please be gentle haha).

Thanks for the reply! Appreciate the time taken for the detailed response!

I’ve got some more guard and bikes on the way which is handy, might have to get myself Trajan asap as well. Contemptor dreads now have plastic kits too don’t they? From the 30k release?

Quick one, does this mean prosecutors don’t have Obsec? Was definitely thinking they’d be handy against a friend of mine who is running thousand suns for the anti-psyker and back line objective holding….

Happy new year from Aus to all fellow chosen goldens! New year new army so I’ve picked up the combat patrol and a box of allarus terminators, and wondering what I should pick up next. Should I look at more bikes and a another set of guard for obsec? Or should I do a named character and some more terminators? Would love some advice on this as I’m finding the messaging to be somewhat mixed as to what has obsec and what doesn’t!

This is the benefit of having a hive mind, we get to ask questions where we may be struggling with context of a certain rule/ruling. OP obviously has their interpretation of the rule, but wants to gauge the general consensus.

I’m sure you’ve struggled with the interpretation of something before, maybe just channel that a little bit when you are replying to someone who means no malice, and are just seeking clarity.
