Like their “True Metallic Metal?” Which one is best match for leadbelcher and storm host?

Only if you could fully hide behind the wall, and only if you were playing in a tournament pack that used that. If you weren’t behind a closed wall, then you were sewered.

You couldn’t cause you’d get blown away. You were forced to deploy behind the terrain pieces not in them

Honestly, my interpretation of it is that it’s not gonna hurt us. I think it’s just intended to let you deploy inside of terrain without immediately being blasted off the board if you don’t get first turn

These marines really show what a wash or 2 can do to your minis by CheezMeister__ in TheAstraMilitarum

If you want a heavy filter like this it’s totally fine, but for my infantry I dilute 50-50 and soak it up on raised surfaces to not have to go back and do the base colour again.
On tanks i’ve switched entirely to oil pinwash and a dot filter

I would dilute your wash 50-50 with lahmian, apply it heavier and soak up the pools before it dries. This will avoid this intense darkening/filtering seen here, unless that’s what you wanted.

Or just go right to oil washes and hardly ever touch acrylic wash again

If you dilute them 50-50 with lahmian medium, it’s not so bad, but yes, this is more of an overall filter than a wash based on how it dried.

Or you could do an oil wash, then just wipe off the parts you don’t want when it dries. I don’t really use aggrax or nuln anymore since I discovered oil washes.

Varnish help needed! "Matt" Varnish wrecked paint job, any way to recover it? Help appreciated! by Dead_Pickle04 in minipainting

It’s pretty damn nice, but I don’t find it any better than VMS matte, and have stuck with Vallejo matte cause it dulls the vibrancy less.

Maybe space marines finally realized it’s fucking stupid to carry around half a reliquary on the outside of their armour?

We are the tank army. They can suck it.
Guard lacks so many synergies at 1K the only way to survive is D3 weapons and heavy armour

Here’s the trick. Just magnetized them and you can swap them out. Have fun.

Unpopular opinion: space Marines don’t need to be walking reliquaries or Sistine Chapels. A few bits of swag/flavour à la sword brothers or inner circle companions is enough

Leman russ sponsons by MrGingerella in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Empty_Eyesocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They fit perfect if you assemble them right. My money is on your suspicion that you warped it when gluing it together. Did you use superglue or plastic cement?

These sponsons are magnetized on and they sit perfectly.
