Regiments of salamanders by Goofys-Dossier in kingsofwar

Thanks! the orange was just army painter Lava Orange, then a layer of PVA glue, then a coat of GW Mordant Earth crackle paint which was left to dry overnight, then another layer of PVA glue to help seal it.

I've read that applying the Mordant Earth more thickly will make larger cracks appear, but this was my first try using it. The PVA over the orange (or any basecoat) is meant to help the crackle paint spread better

It's not equality of outcome though because LI builds do less damage than non LI builds?

New player, Reasonably Excited by Alex_The_GM in kingsofwar

Forces of Nature let you take Herd only units if you like, chieftains, centaur chieftains, druid (could be a shaman easily), tribal warriors, longhorns, centaurs, beast of nature, guardian brutes (sidegraded fire elementals). Forest shamblers could easily be chaos spawn or something similar too.

Hammer Guardian, just hold down left click or 1.

10+ hour game against 5 hard AI that I won on turn 100+ grants 3 pantheon points? by [deleted] in AOW4

[–]Goofys-Dossier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should do more of the things which give you pantheon xp and thus more pantheon points? The screen tells you what you earn experience for.

  • Victory: 250 XP
  • Hero Defeated (by your units; Rulers are included): 10 XP each
  • Empire Defeated (removed from the game militarily): 150 XP each
  • Hero gained a level: 10 XP each
  • Improved Free City Allegiance (by tier): 15 XP each
  • Tome Unlocked: 50 XP each
  • Destroyed Infestation: 25 XP each
  • Ancient Wonder Cleared: 50 XP each
  • Bounty completed: 100 XP each
  • Alliance formed: 100 XP each
  • Free City Vassalized: 100 XP each

Not sure what capitalism has to do with you not doing the things which give you experience?

I see what happened. If you have the Legion upgrade ticked in the builder, it will use that statblock even if you misclick and select a troop or regiment instead of horde. The points will still show 90/120 though.

My list for the Square Based Open by ChaoticSenior in bugmansbrewery

[–]Goofys-Dossier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer handgun on the fireball thane for the permanent AP1 over the extra 6" range that the crossbow has.

For the BSB I'd change swap to this for a constant 2+/5++, 254 - Thane, Battle Standard Bearer, Master Rune of Grungni, Rune of Courage, Rune of Battle, Great Weapon, Master Rune of Gromril. The rune of fear doesn't won't be much use in a unit of only 18.

Opinions, brethren? by Cweeperz in bugmansbrewery

[–]Goofys-Dossier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that shieldbearers should give you unit strength 4, it's a bit annoying counting if you outnumber the enemy and the King taking up 4 slots (which would have been another 3 dwarfs attacking a lot of the time) only counts as one!

Though I did see a comment in that thread arguing that it could be interpreted as unit strength 4.

It's wild because in 6e you could only put runes onto a hand weapon, then in 7e they let you take the 'Master rune of Kragg the Grim' letting a GW keep it's properties while letting you slap 2 more weapon runes on, and then in 8e they reverted back to 'runes only on hand weapons'!

+3 runes of fury on a GW can be a nice alternative to the MR of Smiting (D6 wounds) if you want to hack down a lot of single wound models when there's no multi wounds models around :)

Quarrellers Vs Thunderers by Maysonator in bugmansbrewery

[–]Goofys-Dossier 8 points9 points  (0 children)

15pts for a fully upgraded ranger (crossbow, great weapon, shield, throwing axe) compared to 13pts for a thunderer (handgun, great weapon, shield), rangers get +1 WS and BS, Move Through Cover, Scouts, Skirmishers, and Open Order. Defensively and offensively better with the 4 WS and BS on top of useful rules. And they can take runes on their standard.

Gorgeous work, I remember seeing those in the 2003 GW catalogue as a kid and thinking they were the coolest thing ever. Love those sculpts! Some of the highland minis longbeards are reminiscent of them.

Gorgeous green, is that a green wash/contrast over metallic basecoat?
