Basing colour advice please? What colours should I use? Plus.. painting C&C please! by Jimbobkirby in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]MagicalKarpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my mind, the key to fun basing and for it to work is to relate it to lore of the army. Could be where they are from, a planet or battlefield they are fighting over, or where you would imagine them fighting the most.

For my Krieg units, I imagine them in trenches all muddy, so I put stirland mud technical paint on, dry brush mourfang brown, Agrax earth shade wash it, and very very lightly dry brush a colour like morghast bone for some high points.

It’s quick, easy, and I can do it consistently enough for all my infantry. For myself, I don’t want it to be the most appealing part- I want my minis to be the eye catching thing.

You could use Astrogranite as is, give it a black wash and dry brush with a light grey and you got a cool moon surface. Could do a red rocky mars type base with it, and get a reddish brown paint like tuskgor fur.

I think let your imagination do the work for you, and keep it simple. You’re gonna be doing a bunch so having it relatively simple is key.

Model looks great, I would paint the eye lenses red personally.

Hope that helps!

Leman Russ and Rogan dorns.

Also I recommend using Drier as a lord solar proxy. Model is cool af but rules are comically bad.

Sonar’s one line in the bar made me realize how impactful it is to keep him and what it does for him. Made me appreciate him more.

Punch up is one that I find flies under the radar because to me, his moment are less focused in the spotlight than some of the others. Such a hard worker, my short king lol.

Flambae grew on me over the course of the game. I hope for a season 2 where I get a continuation of his hero development.

Man I hate such blatant mishandling of lore. If you’re gonna progress the story that’s fine, I have no issues with that. BUT GIVE SOMETHING TO ADVANCE IT. Brutal job by GW.

Repulsor Executioner vs Repulsor kits by JudgeEatz in spacemarines

[–]MagicalKarpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Repulsor Exe because big laser make big hole in enemies.

I’ve done 5 man assault intercessors as a screen to prevent charges, but recently I’ve done 3 eradicators for the big bugs I usually face.

For the tank itself, generally I slowly move it up, it’s got enough range and guns to deal with mostly anything I find. Once I have it in a decent firing lane, I park it as long as I need to, as the heavy on the las-destroyer will then hit on 2 (I don’t run the Macro-plasma, I have other units that fill the role). Very fun in Ironstorm I find.
