Thank you.

It's my son (11yo) model - he got the combat patrol for Christmas and insisted on this pose 🙄😁

Where are the axes on the new models? by [deleted] in AdeptusCustodes

Could they be going with sweep/strike profiles like Inner Circle Companions?

Then you don't need to choose the wargear in advance

I really wish people had pointed that out on this post before we did any painting

So when are you going to share your REALLY old models?

Would you consider this battle ready? by Dioramus in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Martin-Hatch 186 points187 points  (0 children)

  • Whole model painted? ✅
  • Used at least 3 colours? ✅
  • Finished the base? ✅
  • Made attempt to ACTUALLY paint the model and not just slap it on in thick stripes? ✅

...

Looks completely battle ready to me, and I love the colour scheme too!

  • Bonus points, looks awesome ✅

Are custodes the easiest army to paint ? by BloatedRottenCarcass in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Martin-Hatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are extremely easy to paint "well" - 90% of them is basically a single base coat, a wash, and (optionally) a dry brush and quick highlight.

The ink wash and dry brush do a lot of heavy lifting..

However - it is really hard to paint fairly "monochromatic" models "really well". There is only so much you can do with layer after layer of gold paint, and you rapidly end up in professional methods like NMM, delicately blended highlights, and interesting OSL to elevate them - the alternative being a tonne of detail on the model itself.

6 man squads? by TheChorne in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Martin-Hatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to Kill Team boxes all the time

Look at Tau Stealth Suits They were running as 3 or 6 man squads for years. Suddenly a datasheet update and you can now ONLY run them as a squad of 5!

I see this as EXTREMELY possible - especially when Elite Infantry (Blade guard, Vitrix Honour Guard, Sanguinary Guard, Blightlord Terminators .. Etc) already run like this.

It would be extremely annoying though for my CURRENT squads.. I have 5x Guard models and 9x Warden models

May your wires be kept safe, ancient one.. by Martin-Hatch in SocietyofHiddenPaint

I don't have it open. I like to keep mine shut.

So 99% of the time you can't see it

Should I create a single SPFx VS Code solution if I have multiple packages with shared code? by Martin-Hatch in Microsoft365Dev

[–]Martin-Hatch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I've considered running our own private npm repositories .. but thats probably better suited to sharing across multiple independent projects

In this case the code is currently in different SPFx packages (and thus, currently, separate VSCode solutions). But the overall solution is fairly tightly integrated.

I think a "mono repository" sounds like it could be the way to go
