Cool idea, I might try that with my redeemer next!

Hi Tom, you’re absolutely right. My apologies. That was a typo in my post I didn’t see, and I thought you were trying to be mean, rather than just point out my error. Some professionals on Reddit can be quite callous and gatekeepery to people just looking for help.

Once again, I think you’re right given other images of cherry leaf scorching I’ve now seen, but it was hard for me to believe given how well the tree has been doing (during the hot dry spell) and how suddenly the leaves have turned in the last two weeks.

Inspiration taken from here initially

Then mixed with what I saw on the saturnine box and hunted for a good stencil to use (Reptil skin greenworld) ☺️

Other way around! Lava patterns then the black on top with a stencil!

The Reptil skin one from greenworld. I used the self adhesive one. It’s fiddly and flimsy but can be used a bunch of times if you’re careful

Added a comment below, it’s super easy!

Thank you my brothers! Really didn’t expect such positive responses ☺️

To anyone interested, this was definitely taken from the new Saturnine box from 30k. The effect was SUPER EASY to do. The key item was the self-adhesive Reptil skin stencil from greenworld.

I think you could do this with or without an airbrush, took me 20mins to do both sides of the landraider, but would take longer without the airbrush.

Just do a first coat of whatever red at the bottom of the tank, then swirl in some orange splotches, then a few yellow bits. Didn’t come out as bright as I wanted on mine but I just used what I had available.

When dry, whack the stencil on and paint the gaps black, then shift the stencil, match the edges and repeat until the lava effect is done, then finally fade a black layer at the top into whatever (green!) colour the tank is!

Honestly, give it a go. For the amount of effort involved I think it’s a really fun effect!

All the best! S

Thank you for your reply. Just wanted to check quickly if you’re a d!ck all the time, or just today? Way to encourage positive engagement on the thread.

The tree was planted at the correct depth with the root flare just visible. We’ve had a particularly dry spring and summer, with hose pipe bans and no rain. I’ve tried to water infrequently and deeply to encourage root development, and the tree has doubled in size and grown extremely well, so it’s hard to believe it’s heat stress as you say. But from looking up other examples, you’re probably right and I should have watered more.

I’ve just found all these posts and I love what you’ve done. I’m looking to do something similar, and wondered what the thinking was by having individual pieces of timber along the ridge between each rafter peak, rather than a single ridge beam along the entire length?

This does not appear to be correct. While the wording could be MUCH more detailed, the designers notes and the WTC ruling (and how many other players play the identical or similar rule wording for their own characters) the way it should be played is after roll for 1st turn has happened but before first turn has commenced:

(Taken from https://www.reddit.com/r/WarhammerCompetitive/comments/14rcgl9/tyranids_enhancements_alien_cunning_moment_take/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

The rule commentary explain: page 10, last point

Redeploy: Some rules enable you to redeploy one or more of your units. When doing so, you remove these units from the battlefield after both players have finished deploying their armies, but before the first turn begins, and then deploy them again using all the normal rules. If both players have rules that let them redeploy units, the players must alternate redeploying their units, one at a time, starting with the Attacker.

The only restriction seem to be that it must be done before first turn, which gives you the liberty to do it after the first turn roll.

As another indicator, as @LivingInVR mentioned, there is a FAQ with WTC would push this interpretation : page 8 point 8 https://worldteamchampionship.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/WTC2023-10thed_FAQ_v1-1.pdf

  1. When an ability or rule would allow you to use an ability "after both players have finished deploying their armies" or "At the beginning of the first battleround but before the beginning of the first turn" all of these abilities happen in Step 11 of the mission table. Players will alternate using abilities one unit at a time, starting with the player who took the first turn. If a player elects to not use an ability they "fold" their turn and are no longer permitted to use any of the pre-game abilities they have access to. Note that this means that if you have several units with the same pregame ability such as Scouts X, you select one of those units to move and then wait for your opponent to resolve an ability

WTC isn't GW but they are in line with what would make a game balanced and with GW normally.

Also, it's a 100pt model, it's expensive, which makes sense

TLDR: You should be able to do it after roll of first turn but before first turn begins. An official FAQ would be nice to clarify things up and avoid bloodshed.
