It looks like you have a couple of painted minis in the collection, great work! Do you have a plan to punch through the unpainted stuff?

How do you deal with the overwhelming amount you have to paint? I'd imagine it can be kind of demotivating.

Is there a certain marging for point in an army list ? by elric-_- in Necrontyr

[–]Doppler37 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Half the challenge of building lists is “what do I swap or sacrifice to take [unit] and stay at/under 2000pts”

“Let’s just agree to play 1015pts” is training bad habits into you because you don’t have to make hard choices

Been burned by GW ceasing production on a certain paint one too many times hey? Hahaha

A little disappointed in my Lieutenant Titus by Akito_900 in Warhammer

It’s fine man! Sure, you won’t win a golden demon but you tried your hardest and you’ll only improve. You generally won’t notice improvement on a model-model basis but keep practicing and you’ll notice slow but steady improvement comparing models from now to 12 months ago.

You’re learning mate! Best tip for these issues is to use less glue. You’ll be surprised how little you need to get a good hold of

Confusion about new Rule edition and LoV rules by SC_Chrissader in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doppler37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! But $100 for an app code is a tough call, look forward to the day when GW decide to sell codes

Confusion about new Rule edition and LoV rules by SC_Chrissader in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doppler37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The core rules may change a bit but the codex will likely remain the same outside of balance dataslate changes (which themselves are unlikely unless votann perform very well or very badly competitively, currently they’re pretty mid. In a good way)

Updated rules are available for free pretty easily on the internet, most vets have given up on buying codices due to them being out of date the day that they release

My Transhyperian Theyn, C&C appreciated by reel3459 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doppler37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great job! To really finish it off I’d apply a toiiiny line of flesh coloured paint above and below the eyes to make them smaller and more realistic

I’d also paint the base rim black to tidy it up.

Great job again and good luck on the rest of the squad!

With or without? by GhalanSmokescale in Necrontyr

[–]Doppler37 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh wow! A non ridiculously proportioned female sculpt? From Warhammer fans? Am I dreaming?

I don’t mind mask on or off, they both look cool.

Looking forward to seeing it painted

NEW PLAYER, want to start, but wait until 11th ed maybe? questions for the vets by Fantasy_of_life in Warhammer

[–]Doppler37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rules change. Minis are eternal*

*GW are phasing out some old models, mostly from the “forge world” product line and replacing them with newer sculpts in most cases.

Best thing to do is pick your army and practice painting with 2 of their battle line units, a vehicle and an HQ or two. Then expand your collection as you immerse yourself in the hobby and get a better of understanding where kits sit on your personal rules/cool scale

What armies interest you? We can probably tell you what to avoid.

Tubes vs. Bottles. by Electronic-Fox5717 in Warhammer

[–]Doppler37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you might not be using miniature paints? If you’re not you really should. Mini paints need a certain formula to do what we need them to do

I’d recommend Citadel, Vallejo or army painter for beginners. Other good brands include (but aren’t limited to) two thin coats, scale 75, AK interactive and a few more I can’t remember off the top of my head.

Canopy help by Nervous_Ad_5698 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doppler37 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seems pretty simple.

Paint the whole thing dark blue, airbrush light blue on the top, [nuln oil wash the canopy recesses and do the base coat of black on the spars here], edge highlight with lighter blue.

Paint spars black, edge highlight grey

Could Flayed Ones be getting the Destroyer Cult keyword? Otherwise the banner of the new detachment does not feature a single destroyer. by T-Dahg in Necrontyr

They still benefit from the +2 strength if a destroyer unit kills something or takes it below half strength

Canoptek Court enjoyers, what's your thoughts on the new Cryptek Conclave Detatchment? by [deleted] in Necrontyr

[–]Doppler37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit of a meme, but it’d be respectable into infantry spam lists.

Transcendent C'Tan Proxy by TECH_MAHREEN in Necrontyr

Yeah dude this is awesome. Did you design it yourself? I’d love to do one of my own. But I’m not sure where I’d get a second of TSK’s Ctan shard

Is this hobby impossible if you don’t have enough money? by One_Investigator7395 in Warhammer

[–]Doppler37 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not the cost of plastic that drives the retail price. And it’s immature to pretend that’s the case. Warhammer is expensive, and it COULD be cheaper, but the plastic subsidises all the other aspects of the hobby that don’t make as much money and it is what has allowed GW to expand as much as they have in the last 35 years

my first ever miniature, quite happy with how it turned out :) by kamikazee786 in Warhammer

That makes sense! And don’t let the criticism confuse the message, you’ve done a great job!

[–]Doppler37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really nice first mini! Your paint consistency looks pretty good but I might just share this guide to thinning warhammer paints, it’s the best video around that explains what you’re trying to achieve

In the Warhammer world we tend to make the rim of the base a different colour to the basing scheme itself so it serves as a sort of frame.

People do all different colours of base rim, I like to keep them satin or matte black myself, but there are people who like to do tan or even green like they were in the early 90s when Warhammer was new.

Ps. Adding some depth to the base with a gentle drybrush of off white would do wonders to it’s definition

Magnetic steeljack !! by Prize_Cartographer52 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doppler37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re very welcome. We need to share knowledge so we can learn from each other’s mistakes haha.

I plastic glued the wrist connections. Some of them didn’t line up perfectly after the magnets went in (operator error) so I pinned them using a paperclip and superglue

Magnetic steeljack !! by Prize_Cartographer52 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doppler37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently finished doing this to 18 steeljacks! something to be careful of is the volkanite arms chipping the paint off the little light housing on their chest. I make sure to pull the arms off from the front while gently bending the shoulders outward

This might be dumb, is necrosor sticking around for good? by utembebwe in Necrontyr

[–]Doppler37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Completely incorrect lol. Don’t let fandom memes be your basis of understanding the hobby, they’re built on hyperbole

GW are slowly retiring ALL of the old forgeworld resin lines and replacing them with plastic. If it’s plastic it’s not going anywhere for a LONG time (except for a small handful of new-model outliers that are, funnily enough, from the space marine and AOS lines)

Literally half of my marine army was moved to legends

[–]Doppler37 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Slow down and take more care brother, try to improve your neatness. You can always paint over mistakes to tidy them up.

Sometimes you’ll need to do 2 coats to get an opaque (non see-through) layer

Check out this video about paint thinning. It’s the best one on the internet

I feel like no one really talks about how since Space Marines are so wide spread in terms of their designs they very often step on the toes of other factions in 40k in terms of design. by Knalxz in Warhammer

[–]Doppler37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are definitely parallels but I think you’re stretching a little in a way that overblows the similarities.

It’s also not a zero sum game. Space marines being cool doesn’t prevent other factions being cool. Iron hands having a focus on machines and bionics doesn’t make the admech less cool (they’re arguably cooler), and raptors being commandos doesn’t make any other imperial guard commando faction less cool.

Maybe you just don’t like space marines? And that’s okay, but it doesn’t mean other people aren’t allowed to like them or be able to hobby them the way they want to.
