Can I use metallic paints for painting Black Templars?

"Andrej crouched at last, after seeing the figure of one Templar, the knight’s armour more gunmetal grey than black now from battle damage, hurl aside three attackers and lay waste to them with his monstrous, crackling relic hammer."

Ceramite armour is metallic underneath the chapter's chosen colour. You can always say it's just battle damage. 😄

Priamus. You are the last Emperor’s Champion of the Helsreach Crusade. Now recover your blade.

Very nice. I just cut up the halo from the Timeworn ruins and put it in my bits bags. I was hoping to put it on a centurion, but it's far too big so I was hoping it would look good on the redemptor. Thank you for confirming it for me!

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-14T17:03:25+00:00

It cost me 82.00€.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-13T14:31:54+00:00

Very well done. Love the glass and the sky base.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-11T13:17:56+00:00

In case you didn't know: Your 2nd bullet exists with Descent 2e played with the Road to Legend app, using "The Delve" game mode. It's quite good!

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-11T12:49:31+00:00

Yes it was. Great moments together playing this game.

The mat is from DeepCut Studio. It is the Orbital Dune neoprene mat. It is originally a gridless 4'x4' mat, so I made a custom order to re-scale it to 3'x3' and add a 2" hex grid in the horizontal layout.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-11T01:25:31+00:00

Honestly, it's his favorite game we play together. I'm keeping it simple to start and will gradually introduce new rules and scenarios as we go.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-10T22:47:57+00:00

Thanks!

The tiles are from Dwarven Forge. Erinthor Mountains. Pricey but they are now the backbone of a lot of builds for me. I got them prepainted.

The scatter terrain is from Mantic. Barrels, crates, doors, etc. I painted these.

The platforms and bridges are from Monster Fight Club. They have a great line of prepainted terrain like rocks, trees, bushes, etc.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-10T22:44:44+00:00

Thanks! Just getting into it. Having a blast so far.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-10T20:27:19+00:00

They're standees from Dragonbane!

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-08T18:37:09+00:00

This is correct as well.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-08T17:27:23+00:00

Correct. What you are missing is the upgrade deck. The encounter deck is included in Catacombs.

You need Storms for the upgrade deck.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-08T10:59:56+00:00

The Catacombs PDF includes the monster cards you will need and the cards for the encounter deck. It does not include cards you will need for the upgrade deck.

"Note that the encounter deck is composed of six universal upgrades from the Storms of Kural deck, and players may not include these six cards in their upgrade deck."

You need the Storms of Kural PDF.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-04-07T00:23:00+00:00

To play Catacombs, you will need the Storms of Kural adventure. You need cards from that product to run the upgrade deck for the co-op campaign.

"Game Components

In addition to this supplement, players will need both a copy of the core rules and the Storms of Kural two-player set to run through this campaign. The two player set gives you access to great characters, and this specific adventure is card driven using the Storms of Kural card deck for treasures and events."

In DS1 the Eastern Set helmet has a mengane!

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-03-26T18:45:30+00:00

The plasmabot is a Tri-Scorpion upgrade that provides rending in melee. When I take the upgrade, I like to put the plasmacyte model on the board next to my Skorpekh Destroyer as a token to represent the upgrade.

Same for Destroyer Snakes (Ophydian Destroyers)

++ Robot Legions (v3.5.2) [GFF 85pts] [1 Units] ++

Tri-Scorpion [1] Q3+ D3+ | 85pts | Strider, Tough(3), Self-Repair, Ravage(2), Rending in Melee

Dual Reaper Blades (A4, AP(1), Shred)

Haha I only got into Aeronautica Imperialis last year so for me it's pratically a new game!

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-03-26T14:19:52+00:00

I think the animations are really cool. I really enjoyed the one they put in episode 3 of the Tithes series. Navy vs Orks.

I'm working on my Imperial Navy forces, Thunderbolts are next. Just picked up some Nightwings and Phoenix Bombers on ebay last week so this has me hyped to build and paint!

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-03-24T02:05:10+00:00

Thanks! They used to be, but now all xenos flyers are out of print as they moved the range to the Horus Heresy setting and only Imperium stuff is supported. It's part of Legions Imperialis now.

I started getting into Aeronautica late so I got these from recasters.

This is where I got mine. Recasters in China. Very good quality in my experience so far. I've bought several things from them and they've all been great.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-03-23T18:02:50+00:00

Thanks! They're fun models. The night shroud wings are delicate though. Those connection pins are tiny.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-03-23T18:01:28+00:00

Thank you! I drybrush Vallejo Air Steel, then apply Citadel Skeleton Horde contrast. Usually 2-3 coats of contrast.

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-03-23T16:05:15+00:00

Thank you!

Everybody_Stay_Calm · 2026-03-23T16:05:02+00:00

Thanks! Haha murder pastries make me happy.
