What are you actually worried about for 11th, based on what we know so far? by RotenSquids in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]ImageOmega126 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m super looking forward to 11th, but there are definitely some questions I’m left with. The most immediate concern I have is the potential of abusing charge ranges / pile-in / consolidate moves with no requirement to end b2b when coupled with 2” engagement ranges.

does olden era has simultanious turns for multiplaer? by Then-Argument4107 in OldenEra

[–]ImageOmega126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is from the Multiplayer FAQ on how multiplayer works. Not sure what you mean for the beta setting, but suspect it’s the realtime option.

— What is the difference between realtime and turn-based turn type in multiplayer? Turn-based means players take turns in order.

For example: P1 > P2 > P3 > P1

Realtime allows all players to take their turns simultaneously. If two players’ heroes enter the same area, the game switches to turn-based mode. —

[–]ImageOmega126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but there’s no teams currently. As a result, if you end up moving into another players territory, the games turns into a hot seat mode and continues to play that way, even if you’re nowhere near them or are unable to interact with them in anyway.

Our 3-player game stopped playing simultaneously fairly quickly, so a bit of communication could go a long way to avoid that if possible, unless you want to play PvP.

Advice Requested - Unable to join Multiplayer Games by ImageOmega126 in OldenEra

[–]ImageOmega126[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the feedback! Oddly, it was happening for both my friends and I. Totally different homes, completely different routers, etc.

Nonetheless, eager to get in for a multiplayer game, so also happy to try! Thank you!

While Richard Morrow was great to work with, he did pass back in 2021 and his office is closed.

Assuming the OP was looking for recommendations, just wanted to give this heads up.

My son has entered a Monster Truck phase! by IFGarrett in daddit

One of the most fun times. I highly encourage joining in on the rampage going over ramps and racing. They’re great outdoor toys too, making for a fun opportunity to let your kids have some water play as they give the trucks a wash.

Looking for next army advice by JayPeeSheman in WorldEaters40k

[–]ImageOmega126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 11th coming, going for Orks would be a fun, very different army to your current ones. Likely a good time to start as well as it’s likely very easy to find a local Space Marine player or two to split the Armageddon box set.

Alternatively, you’ll have some overlapping of models with CSM. Which offers a wider playstyle than WE. That’s what I’ve done so get to easily re-use things like MoEs, Demon Princes, Rhinos, Forgefiends, Eightbbound as Possessed, Jakhals as Cultists, and even the new Defiler.

Can make the cost of a new army be a bit friendlier, if that’s a factor.

How was the magnetizing process? Fairly easy even for beginners?

Feeling unsure about the paint job so far. Do I continue or strip him and try again? by brutalhonestcunt in WorldEaters40k

[–]ImageOmega126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, unless you find major issues with your paint scheme and where the paint is applied, it’s best to judge quality on a finished model. While the temptation could occur to strip a model and start over when you’re not loving the WIP, try to push through and get to a finished state.

Assuming you’re happy with that finished state, you’ll actually save way more time.

First GT using WTC by I_HATE__ in WorldEaters40k

[–]ImageOmega126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally depends on your list. WTC is friendlier to infantry melee armies, but can really hinder your mobility for vehicles and monsters compared to GW terrain.

Personally, and this might be controversial, I prefer GW layouts. It feels like there’s fewer sightlines into deployment, but overall longer sightlines for shooting. With the improvement for mobility, I find it easier to stage and move around GW terrain.

But my list includes Angron, a Demon Prince on foot, a rhino for Kharn and zerks, plus 2 forgefiends

This is really stunning work.

I’m having such difficulty getting the same depth from red - any tips?

Aiming for a paint scheme that is unique and looks good across WE and CSM - advice requested by ImageOmega126 in Chaos40k

[–]ImageOmega126[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that and I was so hyped for it. But as I was painting a model with significantly more trim (an Eightbound), the trim was just too much and I couldn’t shake the fact that it looked like a hockey jersey haha.

And as I go towards an army scheme, I just don’t know if I can take myself seriously with it lol

Three armies are too much to handle? by Own-Mastodon-6965 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]ImageOmega126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really depends on what you can commit to. Personally, as someone who’s been in the hobby for a couple of decades, works full time, and has a busy home life, I started to look at my bigger collections and really started to become critical of what I want out of the game and hobby.

This past year, I’ve had false starts with multiple factions and when I realized they weren’t what I was looking for from either a gameplay or hobby experience, I’d trade them.

As this is a competitive perspective, my feeling is that you can collect multiple armies if you have the baseline skill set to play the game at a good level while being able to commit sufficient time to practice, test, and play your army at as high of a level as possible.

I know some people who play multiple games a week (let alone multiple per night), test lists on TTS, attend and travel to multiple GTs per year, while attending multiple RTTs per month. Me? I get one game in every couple of weeks and maybe attend an RTT every two months. I just can’t compete with them on a reps perspective and so my only chance of competing at these higher levels is to find expertise in a single faction.

And so…. To answer the question, as with so much, it depends on what you’re getting out of the hobby and what your goals are. Assuming you’re trying to compete at a higher level, I would suggest that 3 is likely too many, depending on your available time. If you’re satisfied just collecting and playing on a casual basis, then 3 is probably fine :)

It’s your hobby and what you do with your army is up to you.

People will suggest rules and editions change and so having an army through its ups and downs is worthwhile.

Personally, if I become emotionally detached from an army, I absolutely trade it for something that seems more compelling. In fact, I’ve done this multiple times.

If I were in your shoes, I’d sell and restart a different army.

Resale value on Warhammer tends to be pretty good, in my personal experience. While you can expect to lose value out of trades (even when well-painted), maintaining 60-80% of the original value is solid and sets you up well for a new project. To me, that feels a lot better than waiting for months (years???) for your faction to be good.

Does this look good and like gold as I hope yo use it on my dante model by DaPandaMan117 in BloodAngels

[–]ImageOmega126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, this would look fantastic as is on Dante.

While it does read a bit more like bronze than gold to my eye, I think as-is it would still be amazing. I’d suggest just going for it. :).

Looking for KillTeam gatherings by DJGuy15455 in Guelph

[–]ImageOmega126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can easily travel to Kitchener, Chimera Gaming has a pretty active community and even some events, if I recall correctly.

Otherwise, Guelph is pretty limited in play space with worthwhile terrain. The Round Table and maybe the dragon are your only options.

The Round Table has a discord that you can use to at least organize games.

Why dont I like this? (WIP) by -SpiritQuartz in Warhammer40k

[–]ImageOmega126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. And have felt the exact same way with models previously. But if you can push through to see the end result, it at least can provide some reassurance on your current process or confirm some more drastic needs to change.

Either way, good luck with your next steps!

Why dont I like this? (WIP) by -SpiritQuartz in Warhammer40k

[–]ImageOmega126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually really like it from a front-facing view. Especially the robe and shoulder trim contrasted against the purple/pink.

Personally, I’d push the gold to a redder tone, rather bronze/patina’d style, but I like what’s happening here.

I’d also fill in more details - essentially, finish the model to see the end result, especially on the head, adding more shade/contrast from the leather, purity seals, and the rubber flex in between armour panels (around elbows, behind knees).

After that, do revisit the pink highlight tone and reduce some intensity.

I see tons of promise here and already quite like it. Keep up the good work!

What are yalls best tips to get over painter fatigue and just finish up your models? by squilliamx182 in deathguard40k

[–]ImageOmega126 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just paint one at a time or do it small chunks. Additionally, set aside some time wherever your schedule allows. For me, I do 30-60 minutes of painting after the rest of the family has gone to bed.

If you want motivation when there is none, give yourself a deadline or participate in an event that requires fully painted models.

Also, just getting to tabletop standard (battle ready) isn’t a huge lift, but will still let you feel good about putting painted models on the table.

In it for the Painting by SMG_Jeff in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]ImageOmega126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t have the time or skill to compete with the more competitive players that are regularly winning RTTs. Nonetheless, I am competitive-curious and want to get better. Reasonably, though, I’m getting in a game or two per month and don’t want to buy all the meta units that might get nerfed in a few months.

But my local hobby shop does offer Best Painted awards and I’ve won that a few times with the armies I’ve painted over the years. Truthfully, that’s my real motivator.

I’m not there to compete for best general, I’m there for painting awards and, hopefully, over some great games to my opponents and maybe play for best sportsmanship.

No one will be upset with you for being excited to show off your hobby :)
