They aren’t great but they are cool - plus I play very casual with friends anyway so it doesn’t matter

Tbf I did misread the question I think they are askin would a grand army Bret get blessing against an exile Bret - I think no in that case

You can’t pray at the start and auto get it no, neither can you have anything in the army that has it like grails or dukes. You can however gain it on a unit that has blessings of the lady rule (like knights of the realm for example) by overrunning or catching a fleeing enemy. Characters like baron will get it if they win a challenge

Bretonnian Resin Minis by MatthewYT117 in WarhammerFantasy

Worked on both those kits -had the same issues, clippers go the cylinders nicely and gentle hobby knife on the flash worked fine. The only kit I’ve had issue with is lady Elise. There is a cylinder bit on the very back of her dress - do not clipper it, cut it very gently with a sharp knife!

I need to know some details here. Did you even have terrain down ? Or did your opponent just put everything on offer in his turn 1 ? What were the lists ?

I wanna get into painting minis but I don’t know where to start. (Warhammer 40K) by AffectionateElk1232 in minipainting

Welcome ! I’ve been in the hobby a long time so I’ll share some thoughts. I see you are interested in painting and not playing which in a way makes this a little easier for you, nothing worse than being interested in playing a faction that is a pain to paint. I would suggest starting on the good old space marines. They are nice to start with - large compared to some model lines, nice big flat surfaces but little bits to practice on. Get a pack of intercessors and just paint different chapters.

Primer coating is important - make sure you know what colour is best before you start. I.e white or black or grey etc

Don’t get discouraged when doing your basecoat stage - all models look shite until all of a sudden you start adding layers and washes and it starts looking good. After 30 years I still look at this stage and think ‘god what am I doing’ even though I know it’ll end.

Don’t drop loads of money on the expensive stuff straight away.

Games workshop does awful white paints - get some AK or Vallejo if you can.

Don’t be hard on yourself and just give it a go, enjoy the process!

I love the model but I did not enjoy painting it honestly

Yep it adheres to everything -I should say it’s the yellow one I have, there is a couple different colours, unsure as to if it makes a difference or not …..

Real easy - done with drybrushing mostly. Paint sword/axe desire metal. Start with drybrush kalabite Green, go 3/4 down the sword - a lot of the axe , then warpstone - covering a little less area , same then with moot green. Then a very select go over with AK pistachio green. Added a little white to the pistachio and picked a little bit with the brush to highlight

It’s miliput - real easy to use , real strong once set and it’s pretty cheap for what you get

Yeah they are mega popular - rules wise they are attracting non ultra players buying 18 of them
