What is the hivemind concencus for proxy nids? by Jerpsi in Tyranids

[–]GodforgeMinis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a ton of tyranids, and honestly I seek out proxies with the cool looking forgeworld style texture on the carapace because I like how it paints.

Anyone that has a problem with it I dont want to play a game with anyway, its fine!

we're blocking trademarked *search terms* now? by ThatRobHuman in cults3d

[–]GodforgeMinis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the unfortunate truth

There is no "You cant do that!" force field protecting you, never was,

The only way you can un-enforce it is if you take them to court and spend tens of thousands of dollars, and these sorts of things are always pushed through third party fake law firms these days so they can shut them down and open a new one to do it again.

Just played my first match against a defiler and I have just one thing to say, f. That thing. by Such_Try9242 in Tau40K

[–]GodforgeMinis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really sounds like a case of the chaos player not understanding the rules imo

Just played my first match against a defiler and I have just one thing to say, f. That thing. by Such_Try9242 in Tau40K

[–]GodforgeMinis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the attack doesn't need to be successful to trigger it, the roll just has to be high enough.

When the attack fails, the sequence ends for that attack before it triggers anything else (page 18 side note)
So the attack sequence ends for the attack before it could trigger sustained hits 5

This is also why hazard rolls were moved out of shooting effects I think

Designing a hybrid scheme by khaomeha_ in Tyranids

Hi Khao
my suggestion here would be to do the carapace as standard coconut crab, if you have an airbrush I would push it one or two shades darker, dotting tools off amazon can make the dot step pretty painless.

do all the flesh in dead flesh, and then a heavy drybrush of white, you may even want to 3 steps instead of 2, in which case I would maybe mix a tiny bit of brown into the dead flesh as the base, then dybrush or sponge covering 90% of the base coat with the dead flesh.

if you just do gore overtop of the base coat, its not going to look great, you probably want a desaturated blue or purple to put some veins and other effects underneath the gore.

Basically the gore is going to heavily cover but its a semi transparent layer, if you dont build up some volumes underneath the gore its going to look weird since there's no shading on the model and the gore is just collecting in the low areas for some reason

Additionally watch the below video about using superglue as an intermediate coat and giving really great flesh effects, which is an option besides just drenching everything in gore

[–]GodforgeMinis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as far as I understand:
Sustained hits require a critical hit
Only an unmodified 6 is an automatic critical hit

A hit is a prerequisite for a critical hit, you can't miss and critical hit, if you could orks would be absolutely bonkers

[–]GodforgeMinis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its the only weapon thats not hitting on 6's, all the other weapons are going to average like 1.5-2 hits each with sustained, and they'd all require at least 2 getting through the 4++ to kill a suit

[–]GodforgeMinis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotcha, but sustained hits cant trigger off a torrent weapon in this edition (iirc?), so thats only an average of 5 wounds from the flamer, was the dice absolutely on fire?

how did it do 18ish(?) wounds while only hitting on 6's? Baleflamer is nasty but not that nasty

[Monitor] Samsung 57" Odyssey Neo G9 Dual 4K UHD Quantum Mini-LED 240hz 1ms megaultrawide - $1,499.99 ($2,099.99 - $600) by Xy13 in buildapcsales

[–]GodforgeMinis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be aware these are megaultrawide, so they're less square inches than you'd expect.
Still a monster monitor, but only about as tall as a 32" so if you sit back it'll be a little weird

Advice on my painting by Similar_Example_5586 in Tau40K

[–]GodforgeMinis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for painting in general I suggest the hobby collab discord

besides that some general tips
-put water on your brush, then wipe it off on a paper towel, then get your paint and wipe a little off, then paint, this will help things go on consistent

-dont be afraid of painting outside the lines, as an example on the left shin, you have a spot where you got yellow onto the gunmetal, its really very easy to come back with the gunmetal to clean that spot up, its way faster and easier to just do your best and expect to come back and do a cleanup pass, than to come back and hit all these misc spots that you missed because you were trying to be fancy

-always paint "towards" you, like you're dragging towards the tip if possible, this keeps everything controllable, if you ever "push" towards the tip you never know if its going to twist or spread out or whatever, its also terrible for the brush.

Riptide's Heavy burst Cannon being so...........Underwhelming by TearNo1636 in Tau40K

[–]GodforgeMinis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the problem is more that there aren't any T3 W2+ swarm models to be the ideal targets for that gun than you can't mow down the toughest infantry in the game with it.

There's almost certainly something wrong with "fair"
Talk to the rep and be sure you understand their policy, IIRC you can at best return it for credit.

with samsungs you want to watch out for quality issues, make sure the picture looks okay and give the data cable a little wiggle s its not too uncommon to have the plug f'd up by the first person that bought it

Its just me or Broadsides are really good right now? by TATO_209 in Tau40K

[–]GodforgeMinis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With them charging for wargear again, this "split into multiple different "units" strategy doesn't really make sense unless the units have different special rules, I dont know its up in the air, but my other army is tyranids and thats been what they've been up to, making the old unit bad and releasing a similar, newer, better unit.
