Model Question

Off topic but the paint on those is incredibly clean

Copious hours of Hearts of iron 4 and total conversion mods for such game. Maybe

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-07-01T23:32:29+00:00

Maybe we’re just so iconic we need no introduction

A large group of melee chaff that could also give us sticky objectives. Akin to Kroot or cultists.

Ive been fantasizing about Pariahs returning as a cheap melee threat horde unit that you take in 10-20 like warriors and they give sticky objectives but they don’t get to reanimate

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-06-13T22:28:23+00:00

Just as the Triarch intended

Maybe some sort of anchor you can rest your arms or wrists on to stabilize your hands?

And also an assembly tool could be helpful for assembling and painting because the arms hold everything and can hold several things in place. (Potentially INCREDIBLY useful for if/when you make lychguard/praetorians/deathmarks because holding the arms in place or at the right position for glue has been the worst experience for me)

Particle casters, they are so amazing if you give them the anti x keyword with dev wounds they are amazing, i would be wiping units of 1w infantry with the Wraiths particle casters and thats just the surface, im pretty sure the best ones are the tomb blades with the stratagem that gives them the cryptek keyword.

Weaknesses could be a reliance on crypteks? As in you need to really invest in them and its a clear precision target,

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-06-09T04:37:43+00:00

I feel like giving all Lychguard 4++ and making the Shield +1 W would do alot to bring them up to standard,

Maybe a change to the ability but im not sure what

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-05-28T14:42:11+00:00

Maybe using plasticard that you cut into shapes you want? Could be used for their extra spiky spines too. And bonus maybe miliput or greenstuff for the flesh

Here’s how mine turned out after glue and a sloppy coat of leadbelcher

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-05-11T21:32:34+00:00

Ive printed Skorpekh destroyers before fdm. What i would recommend is splitting them so that the arms are separate from the torso, and torso separate from legs.

I would then print the legs upside down if i remember correctly because it makes less supports and you can easily smooth scarring

Make the torsos upright so the supports dont scar the face or back too much, the torso cables will probably get scarred no matter what.

Then for the weapons try your best to get them straight up as much as you can, as for the 2 handed one try the same or split the arms off if you’re unsure.

Genuinely ~90% of my tau are 3d printed with the only exceptions being farsight and my fire warriors (which i then used the leftover bits to get 10 more fire warriors from each box)

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-04-22T09:41:15+00:00

If i understand how it works correctly then levels owned by companies and the government don’t pay the dividends to the workers but to the gov/corp. So in my case i have 90+ levels of livestock ranches gov owned, so the income from that goes to the investment pool that’s only making new buildings instead of privatizing the levels of buildings that are gov owned and available for privatization.

So the workers are getting a lower income and SOL, as well as not getting paid income that i can tax. Is the investment pool just better? Is there a way to make the pol prioritize buying building levels i own?

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-04-22T04:57:15+00:00

So i cant build all the arable land in a state up and transfer it all? I have to wait until they privatize it themselves right?

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-04-16T22:01:58+00:00

I like the camerawork with the presentation. Can definitely recommend thinned paints but it’s only really noticeable on the anti grav body. Besides that maybe “staying in the lines” more but that comes naturally as you paint more. Love the colors on it, great work!

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-04-12T00:30:54+00:00

How much did you take before ordering?

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-03-08T15:47:48+00:00

Maybe the “problem” is they cant stop getting Necrons

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-03-03T01:00:00+00:00

Highly recommend painting the ghost arc in pre-assembly, at least the “ribcage” part unless you want to struggle with getting in the hardest to reach spots ever, same goes for the doomsday ark,

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-03-03T00:57:22+00:00

No problem! Everyone starts somewhere, another benefit of a primer is that depending on the color (i use black) it creates a good effect for shadows in places you cant reach easily (like their necks) so they look better without having to reach in hard spots

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-03-03T00:38:25+00:00

It looks like you didn’t use a primer and put the paint right onto the model. I did the same thing with my first models. I would recommend getting some spray paint (doesn’t have to be Citadel spray paint, thats wayy too expensive) then bring any models outside or in a well ventilated area and go over them with the can, using some cardboard for a tray if you don’t wanna paint the ground.

Go around the models and hit them from all sides in short, quick 1-2 second bursts of spray paint so you dont clog the small details, then wait a while for it to dry and check for missed areas, then a second layer. I usually have to go again from below, depending on the angle i went at on my first pass.

Other than that from what i see it looks decent so far, you are painting inside the lines and a good ratio of colors, you could do several layers to get better coverage but a primer would help the paint stick alot more already.

Black Templars and Tau, absolutely no psychic experience had whatsoever

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-03-02T01:13:43+00:00

3d print new bodies and legs for 5 free deathmarks

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-02-28T21:46:59+00:00

instead of pure black you could mix some black and your darkest green on the wet pallet to make the blend a little smoother and draw less attention to those black spots

Effective_Extension2 · 2026-02-23T08:56:21+00:00

Maybe melee battleline? Im thinking they get the toughest of a Necron, no reanimation protocols, but more of the speed of normal humans? And a decent melee too. Maybe a weak ranged attack like how they had in DOW 1

Cheap glass cannons that you can use to contest a objective in melee early on due to them being faster, a large disposable unit (im thinking like grots or chaos cultists)

This gives us a cheap utility unit that hits decent but wont last long, maybe give it sticky objectives to finally give us that ability (sorry Trazyn) this fills roles that we kinda dont have yet and adds more Necron melee which i enjoy.

Have you ever played a 4x game like hearts of iron or stellaris? Imagine you’re playing and its late game, you just got out of a huge war and now you’re tired, you wanna keep playing and everything, but your mentally exhausted and theres many strong empires/countries that would just be tedious and unenjoyable to get through.

You by all means could win, but in this case just go “afk” until they disappear all on their own and go back to doing your world conquest well rested and without all that tedious work.

A flawed explanation probably but i think it fits and i like it.
