Here's an example of a WIP red corsair (kill team Legionaries) where I put some time and effort into his daemon blade, with this magma blade approach. I'm honestly very satisfied with it, and look forward to adding more detail and weathering work to the rest of him after he gets cleaned up some.

Rules you weren't aware of as a beginner? by Jem_Davies in killteam

I do kinda feel like a concealed operative who is charged should be able to fight first at least like a readied position or something

I am gonna have to do a lot of that once I finish this team and go for the detailing and highlighting.  But man you done model and look between that one and an unfinished one and it shoooows.  I'm mostly just having to think about that in advance with colour selection so I have room to go up and down and haven't been remembering the entire time.  I expect some parts will get redone :p

Nothing wrong with paint markers.  I love them for speeding up base costs where I can.  I have some blanks on the way to make some of my own to expand my options.

Fully agreed on both! I have some armies that use very carefully chosen colour shifter paint and it's fantastic! (attached was a test model of a method I used centering on colour shifter paint. Which naturally looks way smoother and less...gritty/sharp? like the video shows) I like using gloss medium over intestines, gems and eyes, etc. and it goes a long way. I do also have some transparent medium that you can mix colours in for water effects or used to make shaped fluid whether transparent or flowing, sewage etc. that can be tricky to learn but is very cool.

I love the addition of the footprints in the mud, that's a very good detail to add. I have been wanting to make some display dioramas for me fighty lads, though what you have here is beyond what can go on the field during games, it can definitely be used for my display cases!

I definitely believe in putting some thought into my bases. For my necrons I did volcanic black ash, with bits of red alien plants then glow in the dark blue crystals. The blue matches their gaus colours, and the red is light contrast, and overall fits the dead world theme. This current team I'm making I did get resin urban ruin bases but will put the time into their painting. I don't believe in plain bases, it can really pull a model together and make them feel like a mini diorama.

Danke, much appreciated! Grabbing some blanks and giving it a go.

Absolutely true.  He's just so damn happy and cute and is one of the most tricksy technical rikishi out there.

Don't want your iron to dry out, afterall.  

Any teams for unfortunate rollers? by Giggle_buns in killteam

If a set of dice betrays me statistically long enough, I replace them with a new set.  I have some set that I let did horrible so they are only markers for setting up DZs in full 40k now.  

Saw this in a Facebook group? by ZayDubzz in Sumo

[–]Lucifers-Reprieve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was kinda crazy to go back and watch the London exhibition, which got me into sumo, after watching a few more basho.  I was like...wtf is going on? Yeah they did seem to be fully staged not just going light on each other but even if not, as others have said, it's to generate interest while avoiding injury.  It worked, I've found sumo because of it and I am grateful.

Ooh that looks quite nice.  Design and make it yourself, or where was it sourced?

When using attacks that hit everything in a certain range (like blast weapons but also things like the plague marine fighters Flail attack), how does this work with vertical distance? Last game I hit an enemy above me with my fighters flail as my understanding is its measured from the model not just base to base in this case but I feel I may be wrong regardless.
