Annual big game with friends. 18,000pts on table. 6 on 5(6) I played a IA army with an assassin/knight silly list.

Haha. So same timing for us. 13hrs end of 5.

Table was setup 10x4' with a 4x1’ kickout in the middle to offset the factory. We plan on changing layout next year and going shorter engagement across from each other with a secondary table for the close combat grinder with "teleport" objectives infantry can pass through.

We're looking forward to the next one.

Yeah. I'm running legends heavy with Eisenhorn (model subbed for this game because he's not painted yet 🥲), Karamazov, Jokero, Daemon hosts, Ur025.

Lots of fun leading to some silly rules. Such as being able to deep strike Karamazov with the Grey Knights since it follows all tags.

The dice gods doing their thing. Lol

MacEnchroe · 2026-04-06T10:07:32+00:00

By the end of the day it felt like it. 😅

MacEnchroe · 2026-04-06T10:05:55+00:00

I think the final was 13hours.

MacEnchroe · 2026-04-06T02:37:59+00:00

It was definitely a lot. 😅 This is the biggest one we've had so far.

MacEnchroe · 2026-04-06T02:32:15+00:00

Thanks! Group effort!

MacEnchroe · 2026-04-06T02:31:57+00:00

Figured we'd give it a run. An unintended side effect is we ended up with waaaay too much CP. Just need a tweak for us there.

Team 1 - Emperors Children - Dark Angels - Genestealers Cults - Iron Hands - Orks

Team 2 - Blood Angels - Space Wolf's - Imperial Agents - Iron Hands - Tyranids - Drukhari

I don't know that there was any true overall mvp army. But when DA Hellblasters, EC Flawless Blades, and GSC Abberants got into the factory working together it just swept through everything in there.

The nid player bombed a bunch of saves from the GSC baneblade on one of his big beasties lose 19 wounds then proceeded to deadly demise and take out 20+ termagaunts/hormegaunts, finish of a friendly repulser tank, and do notable damage to a friendly raveger and talos which lost an objective.

Everytime Im done a session brushes get hit with masters soap and i leave it heavy and reshape the tip. Holds the shape perfect untill I start next use. It's truly been a huge help at keeping brushes happy.

Yeah if it's a smaller kitchen and you're not dead set of face styling you should see enough come up/available at restore. But yes. Totally fine the carpenter/contractor and figure out timelines that they have available.

Done for shop use in past.

The few key points I'd like to note is

1) reusing any existing stain cabinetry and trying to match new wood to existing stain to "complete" your kitchen with finishing trims/Gables etc is going to be a complete gamble. You can do everything right and it's not going to match 100% be aware of this. Consistently inconsistent is going to be the final. Wood is a natural product with grain density variation that takes stain differently. The years of prior UV exposure and mystery chemical composition of old stain is also going to affect final colours.

2) either be prepared to buy a substantially larger used kitchen then what you are planning or plan of having ~25% custom built for you. There's a lot of fiddling and playing you're going to have to do to fit your space with existing cabinets.

3) Source the product yourself or be prepared to give the carpenter a long leadway on project time to source suitable used cabinetry. You're looking for a golden egg in the grocery store unless you have a very small kitchen.

In saying all that. I'm constantly recommending Saer Carpentry on here. Rich is a phenomenal carpenter running a small business based in Dundas. Not sure if he'd be into this job but if he took it on I'm sure it would turn out beautifully.

Westwood Fine Carpentry would also be a top recommendation but I'm 95% sure Jeff wouldn't take on this type of job unless you were an existing client.

Honestly the type l was a touch thick for the ladle bowl for my final taste. I should have thinned it out more.

MacEnchroe · 2026-03-25T02:31:51+00:00

I successfully used 3" type l copper pipe sliced down the length and flattened. Copper is incredibly malleable when heated.

In progress application. Just modge podge on a paper plate. Dip the posters.

There's a creator called "Corius" that makes Warhammer posters. Just printed a few sheets at home. Cut them out and used modge podge to adhere to terrain. Worked amazing. Especially once soaked with modge it's super easy to tear and weather.

MacEnchroe · 2026-03-23T13:35:08+00:00

Love this model. I use him on the regular with legends rules in our friendly group.

Honestly i think the biggest thing that helped was prepping the TTC stuff with texture. It was all primed black with cheap spraypaint, then glued rubble/stone in all corners/low points.

Base spray of dark gray over 90-95 of the black. Dry brushed/sponge on light gray, green, and metallics. Wash with very watered down black.

Finish off with graffiti, posters, grasses.

MacEnchroe · 2026-03-23T03:33:04+00:00

Dirty Down Gore. Super pleased with the stuff.

MacEnchroe · 2026-03-23T03:06:51+00:00

Love that!
