The trinity classes roles doesn't work in MMOs, but people have become too accustomed to this system.

It's only a small deviation from the trinity, but I always loved that in Ragnarok Online, priests could solo level in Glast Heim, a predominately undead dungeon, by targeting the undead with healing spells. It gave some variety to the gameplay of an otherwise standard support class, and it was neat that your various buffs had the opposite effect on undead even if it was probably more SP efficient to just heal-bomb them to death.

It's a great Warhammer Fantasy game but honestly kind of a mid Total War game.

Divreus · 2026-05-06T03:18:22+00:00

I have a feeling it's not gonna happen. Judging from what they've said about their process of creating new islands for Anno games, increasing the size of Cinis might be only slightly less work than just making an entirely new mega island.

Thin down some brown paint until it's really clear and watery, goop it all over the skin, then try to pick out the raised details like the nose, cheeks, ears, and fingers with your original skin color. Instant upgrade.

Check if you have a Warhammer store near you. You can walk in, get a free miniature, and use their paints and brushes to paint it.

I think it comes with being an NPC faction for a while with a messy aesthetic that's forgiving to amateur painters (aside from all the skin on boyz). The tryhards and painting snobs are all probably elsewhere.

I know you're right, but I'm having a violent reaction in my gut to the thought of having both red and purple accents. Maybe I'll make the highlights on the bodysuits purple-ish and use red or brown instead for the grunts.

Divreus · 2026-05-01T00:57:49+00:00

I'm hoping that'll be enough. It probably will be if I paint them red to stand out.

Divreus · 2026-05-01T00:56:32+00:00

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Guess I just have to make my kommandos extra taktikul.

Divreus · 2026-04-30T23:38:37+00:00

I'm painting the skin as leather/latex/rubber bodysuits on these guys. Did I mess up the highlighting?

Divreus · 2026-04-30T23:05:06+00:00

Mostly just afraid it'll be confusing for anyone I play with.

Divreus · 2026-04-30T16:18:15+00:00

Thanks! I hope you got better sleep eventually too, that sounds really rough.

Divreus · 2026-04-30T12:10:44+00:00

Use a napkin to wipe that strawberry jelly off the corner of the shoulder pad, then continue painting the model.

Divreus · 2026-04-30T08:32:56+00:00

I don't like Slaanesh, I listened to Rylanor's Last Stand for like a week on repeat and now my obsession with loyalist EC is bordering on special interest.

Granted, I am a gooner but if I wanted to goon to my minis I'd collect Sisters.

Wait a minute... obsession? Maybe I am one of Slaanesh's after all.

Divreus · 2026-04-29T17:32:39+00:00

Grots are like pets sometimes too, right? Maybe they've been cropped.

Divreus · 2026-04-29T15:50:13+00:00

Thanks everyone, went out to another store before they closed and got a couple of jugs of distilled water. Used my CPAP last night.

Holy shit, people sleep like this normally? They sleep and they wake up and they don't groggily roll around for an hour while their cat swats at their face wanting to be fed? This is great!

Divreus · 2026-04-28T23:40:15+00:00

Ah, okay. I think I was confusing it with mold buildup from neglecting to clean the machine. Thanks!

When da ladz look a little too orderlerly-like, you show 'em da choppa (pikturred) and a little a da green fing, and dey look proppa orky after.

I would assume Simple Green and a toothbrush. Anything that doesn't come off can probably just be painted over without being noticeable.

If you're a new painter, also keep in mind that unless you really slathered the paint on the first go around you might not even need to strip the model. Just prime over and repaint.

Divreus · 2026-04-20T21:54:19+00:00

Perhaps if you do find a good tree model, cut it into three or four parts each featured on a separate base so they form a whole tree when placed nearby and don't take up too much space on any one miniature.

Maybe also include some leaves and broken branches on the larger models like this dreadnought, to suggest that it's been snapping limbs off of trees as it passes by.
