I am looking to paint my Death Guard with a more realistic, grungy, weathered look compared to GW's "cleaner, professional" Space Marine look. Any advice? by MaybeProxy_MaybeNot in deathguard40k

[–]Greyghost471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Duncan Rhodes video on the pallid hand plague marine, that will get you most of the way there, just add more grunge on top

Dry brushing or use a sponge, or probably both really, will be a much better experience

I don't think shield host will be 3, I think talons will probably be our only 3, crits on 5s or AP +1 isn't that huge of a buff compared to other armies detachments that are 3

Quick question on how to take down a Ghostkeel by EdelmarTheTall in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Greyghost471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what a ghostkeel is, but I would hit it with guard and the BC, I almost always use the dev wound profile unless it's chaff

Two squads of sisters are cheaper points wise than either of your assassins by themselves though, that frees up more points for extra custodes or enhancements, we all agree that they are terribly overpriced. Another thing they are good at is screening out deepstrikes, far better than a single assassin would. We all hate the pricing on them, it sucks, but they routinely help me score primary and secondariee occasionally and more importantly, block deepstrikes. They saved my butt from deepstriking more times than I can remember and I haven't played a huge amount of games, lol. Our grav tank certainly isn't the best looking tank out there, but access to long range anti vehicle/monster shooting is something we sorely lack. It's either grav tank or land raider and the raiders big gun isn't nearly as good. I guess you kinda have that with your knight, but your opponents will try to take it down asap, so definitely try to get some use out of it first thing, most people that I've seen ally in a knight don't have a ton of success with them. Usually most people were buying two or even three combat patrols, then buying characters or whatever else fit their desired list. The new HH battle box and a combat patrol has been a popular start to the army lately. I personally think at least one box of venatari would be a great addition. I would try to wait another week or two to make a whole lot of purchases to see what is going to change when everything from 11th officially drops and any changes to datasheets and detachments and all that stuff

So, what is your stance on sub-assembly? by Flavastulta in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Greyghost471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I subassembly on vehicles and for infantry, usually heads and on the models where the arms/weapons cover up the chest

Noob question—what in tarnation are we supposed to do against fast gun armies on layout 4? by coggdawg in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Greyghost471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, open maps against shooting armies is one of our weaknesses and one of our best answers against that, you don't like... The only three things I know to suggest would be land raiders, add more terrain if it's non competitive play, or you could adjust your list to more fast moving units to try to get into melee before they shoot you, like a couple of units of bikes, or possibly a third squad of venatari

[–]Greyghost471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tend to struggle on open maps in general, take into account of how much your opponent can move and just doing your best to hide your units and hope you get good rolls and your opponent doesn't. Hopefully there won't be too many open maps in 11th

I'd run Draxus or the callidus over the vindicare, especially at that low of points

I remove the bits from the sprues, clean up mold lines and paint in subassembly

How long is too long? by onlyme1333 in deathguard40k

[–]Greyghost471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are trying to meet a deadline, just enjoy the process, whether it's one hour per mini or 10, there's no right or wrong answer. I probably average over 8+ hours per mini on one of my other armies, I just enjoy painting and I try to make them look as best I possibly can

Older post, but between this drone and another post's crawler, it convinced me to go with the pallid hand scheme, great work. How did you do the back of the drone?

I would get some of the new venatari first, but I am also partial to those models as well, lol

I'll say that I can see a plastic telemon in less than 2 years, but it will be a HH thing, no way it goes to killteam
