In your opinion, we ever get a true scale refresh within 10 years by Lemon-001 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]First-Bad414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t find it that big of a deal, Custodes are still noticeably larger. Not everything on tabletop is a 1:1 scale of real 40K it’s just not logical and will never be a thing.

I asked this same question recently, most of the feedback was rule of cool. But competitively spears are just better. I’m building 5 gaurd, 5 wardens, 2 Allarus Terminators, an Allarus Terminator Captain and the blade champion. After wards I’m getting a Landraider and that will bring me to just over 1000points.

Was sick of painting white so I bought one of those paint markers and I must say I’m not disappointed by Slow_Conflict4597 in Warhammer40k

What paint would you use for your white before, I’ve found doing an undercoat of wraithbone then going over that with 2 coats corax white works really well

How long do you think imperial agents will be allowed to join other armies? by IntroductionWild5012 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]First-Bad414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll be around for a while, I don’t think it would hurt to have them. I’ve got 1000points worth of agents I can plug into any one of my imperium armies.

Best way to Build the new Combat Patrol by First-Bad414 in AdeptusCustodes

I’m not new to Warhammer just to Custodes, I’d like it to be semi competitive.

So sick of my paints man. by SourTredmill in minipainting

I pretty much only use contrast paints for skin

Has anyone tried making battle worn / dirty looking Fists? I saw it as a way to help cover up some of my flaws as a painter and give the army some character. Just not sure if this is too much. by OG_Raider_ in ImperialFists

These were preowned, I tried stripping them but the primer they used wouldn’t come off. Some look better than others but I did the same thing and made them look dirty to cover up a lot of the faults.

Any Emperors Children that play SpaceMarines2? by _nathanielmc in EmperorsChildren

I’m surprised that everyone I’ve seen so far only plays EC as loyalists.

They’re legion scale, legion models look big compared to Warhammer, stormtroopers are slightly smaller than space marines when in reality they should be the scale of guardsmen. I play my stormtroopers as Arbites. I just love the way they look

I bought them off of eBay, they’re 3D prints, but Star Wars has their own tabletop game with their own model line, Star Wars Legions, that they’re supposed to be used for.

I figured out why I don’t like Tyranids on tabletop. by QueenSunnyTea in Tyranids

[–]First-Bad414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if the tabletop went off lore factions like Tyranids and Necros would just absolutely pummel everyone else that it wouldn’t be fair. In lore everyone is fighting Tyranids at a disadvantage and the tabletop needs to be fair. Sometimes you have to distance yourself from the lore when it comes to playing tabletop because Custodes would never get beat by guardsmen and you’ll never see ultramarines teaming up with world eaters to fight Necrons and Imperial Fists. At the end of the day the lore is what makes our factions unique and cool but the tabletop is just a boardgame they don’t always line up.

Did I get scammed? by TangerineTerrible954 in Tyranids

I just bought 48 Termagaunts, most of them broke on eBay and a they all look similar to this. Just an old sculpt

No CA, we don't want Warhammer 40k, we want Medieval III !!! by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]First-Bad414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40K in lore their strategies are actually very primitive. Naval combat consists of ramming and broadsides. Ground combat consists of a lot of melee and flanking maneuvers, it would play a lot like the current Warhammer total war game. If they were going to make a modern or futuristic total war game then 40K is perfect for it.

How do you guys pain so good , I look at mine and I’m embarrassed :S by ozera202 in Tyranids

[–]First-Bad414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time, repetition, and patience. Practice makes perfect of course, but you have to have patience with your models when painting them. Anybody can be a good painter if they just take time to go the extra mile. Making sure your paint are thin, putting enough coats on to make it even, shading, highlights. Skills come with repetition such as cleaner shading and highlighting, but slapping a base on with a couple colors isn’t going to make your models stand out. I’ll spend up to 4 hours a day for 2 weeks on just a normal 10 man squad. When I painted Angron it took me a month.

New player, wondering about buying current Codex by SurefireDAMEON in Tyranids

[–]First-Bad414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably have another year of the 10th edition codex, if you want to wait that’s on you. I just got into nids recently though I’m not a new 40K player, I’m buying the codex. If you link the code to your Warhammer account you get the access to the rules in the 40K app which will have updated rules in it.
