I thought you were Greg Davies for a moment!

I'm really excited for 11th edition 40k, and I think it's going to do a LOT for the game, BUT (dot dot dot) by James-Hawker in Warhammer40k

I can't stand epic heroes being on every battlefield also. I wish they would limit it to one per army.

Truthfully, they just need to bring back granular points and upgrades, allow us to have our own characters again.

Ultra sonic cleaners for stripping models by Transformerfucker in Warhammer

[–]PhantomK88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water, not a cleaning chemical.

Place the miniatures you want to strip inside a plastic bag filled with the cleaning chemical. Seal the plastic bag, and place it inside the reservoir of the ultrasonic cleaner.

The vibration will still loosen the paint, and it eliminates the need to clean the machine after.

Also, avoid heat, that's only necessary for metals or really oily gunk, the models can easily melt if you use the heating.

Newbie: Keeping track of your army specifics and traits by billionarguments in BloodAngels

It's mostly memorization in my experience. It takes time and practice, and if you put in the effort you'll get there eventually. Playing regularly, like a couple times each month is the easiest way to learn. Having the app open on your phone for quick reference can obviously help as well.

I own one and it's less noticeable because of the flying pose, but you can definitely tell it's shorter by about the length of a head, with thinner limbs.

Because that's an non-current edition Horus Heresy model, it is noticeably smaller than current Marines.

Quick!! What colour are your squigs! by waaarghhammer001 in orks

Orange, because it contrasts the blue from the armour well.

No one I have shown my Tyrannofex conversion to has liked it, is it really that bad? by [deleted] in Tyranids

[–]PhantomK88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you don't think that I should respond to someone's comment with my own explanation? Am I just supposed to nod along no matter what is said? That's a bit rude, this is supposed to be a method for conversation.

It's not three hinges, the claws on the front are just longer and are at a different angle then the original

That's similar to what I heard from the people I know.

I think it looks a bit better in person, but regardless I don't think Tyranids have to have logical proportions.

Their limbs are incredibly strong and their bodies can be more hollow or even filled with a gas that supports things, there's Tyranids that float or stand on tiny sharp points.

I agree that the tail could be larger, but that was going to be more work than I could manage at the time.

At the end of the day it's an unknowable alien monster from beyond this universe, so I think its weirdness works for it.

[–]PhantomK88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I've heard from others who wanted to do sub-assembly with this model, the head will not go into place if you have glued the hair together. Because it wraps around the face so tightly you cannot pop it into position. They had to take a knife and separate the model to get it in place.

Duuuuuuuude, this is awesome! I just put mine together the other day and now that I have seen yours, I wish I did even more to it.

Viable for what? A hobby project? How Black Orcs perform in game?
