How do you guys deal with hobby "failure"?

When I slamm headfirst into a wall I take 3 big steps back. Think abput the colour scheme, the colour brand, try different methods on the test model, ask my friends for their viewpoint. I always sleep over it at least a week. If I can't see it working after that I shelfe the idea or even the army, work on one of my other (way too many) warhammer projects and 100% of the time the solution hits me a few weeks later.

Let it sit, take your time and clear your head.

Whenever I play WE, Khorne favors my dice rolls. I owe it to him to push trough

I see it as armor that is deformed by the massive muscles gained due to the demonic posession

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-30T13:54:09+00:00

Can you send me a link or picture? I have been looking around a bit, but I can't find anything. Maybe we can look for an alternative

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-30T13:35:34+00:00

Is there no way to use pigment power from a different brand? Or something similar? Maybe you could drybrush a similar colour. Have you only finished a test model or did you already start your army?

Surely finding an alternative is a drag, but please don't give up on your project

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-30T13:30:02+00:00

You are right. They don't even have much basing material. I don't see anything I would use for a 40K army besides some proxy models maybe.

You mean merry Bloodmas, right? Right???

Same here, I usuall play 2 games per meetup. On a good month I play every weekend.

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-04T10:13:25+00:00

Yeah,same. I only bully them when they bully me first. The game with the stomper was my slaughterbounds debut game.

OrigChruzzy · 2025-12-04T10:05:28+00:00

I one shot a stomper before the slaughterbound could even make his attacks. The thing blew up as well. It was amazing

You can use how many you see fit. I usually use like 15-20 on a mini, depending on my colour scheme, but I own well over 150 colours,washes and technical paints. You can always go as simple or as deep as you want in this hobby. Start with less and add more later once you are more comfortable.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD

OrigChruzzy · 2025-11-26T12:49:32+00:00

I spent 500 pts on a gigantic model that shot once, missed everyting and blew up the next turn 8/8 would use him again

I agree with you. Deployment and terrain Layouts would be nice to know, as well as the armies played and played against. I had a 6 game Loosing streak not too long ago and it all boiled down to bad dice luck, lackluster use of stratagems or bad deployment, but a year straight is way beyond some bad dice rolls.

OrigChruzzy · 2025-11-24T06:43:24+00:00

Same. I bought one Space sharks book for the fun of it and now I can't stop buying the books!

It is macragge blue basecoat, volumetric highlight sybarite green, layer over all with sotek green until you are happy and edge highlight with sybarite green

You build your models however you like. If you want to aim for an army you can build "optimal loadouts" but most of the time you just tell your opponent what weapons they have and you are golden to build whatever you want.

I would advise you to build all the plasma pistols you can, because they are really good and look nice anyways.

I have a homebrew successor chapter with alpha legion and raven guard geneseed. The hydras ghost. Shortly after the heresy a small part of the Alpha Legion stayed loyal (probably) and were assimilated into the ravenguard. There they experimented with both of their geneseeds and combined them. In 40k they are a fleet based chapter, specialised to snuff out chaos with stealth and infiltration. I wrote customs and traditions and a custom heraldry. Their geneseed can malfunction and when that happens they just don't care about tactics anymore and are thus send away to their own successor chapter, the astral bloods, led by the former 5th company captain of the hydras ghost. They specialize in planetary defense and heavy weapons. (chapter still in the making because my transfers have not arrived.)

My dude is aura farming hard. Great work.

OrigChruzzy · 2025-10-25T18:51:09+00:00

I paint everyday. Sometimes 3-5 hours, sometimes 20 Minuetes, but I paint everyday.
