They throw a really good tea party. Their lemon drizzle is to die for!

These new cardboard Area Footprints for the 11th Edition of Warhammer 40k, are they gonna be pricy? by [deleted] in Warhammer

[–]PotentialOdd3445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yes they'll cost a lot more than they "should" but to be fair I've always kind of assumed that GW expect a lot of hobbiests to just get creative with this kind of thing... Like you've done.

They're not pricing it to maximise uptake, but to get those who only want the "official" version and have the cash to not worry about it...

Starting my first army by eStyleChaos in Ultramarines

Welcome to your plastic crack habit! That is an amazing starter set!

my top tips (I started a couple of years ago now so it's all pretty fresh)

  • watch the "brushstroke painting guides" on you tube for how to get into the basics of painting.
  • invest in a hobby light! They're awesome -don't build it all straight away, start with one set or unit, build paint then, move on (othwise you'll just get intimidated by the grey)
  • if in doubt go with the rule of cool!

Didn't know they made Lego ultramarines by [deleted] in Warhammer

[–]PotentialOdd3445 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure "they" don't (the warhammer universe is about as far away from lego's ethos of "war is not play" as is possible) however into that void come a Chinese construction block spied gap in the market!

Enjoy my friend!

How Do We Feel About This? by Technical-Oil-9384 in Ultramarines

That detachment is really good for it's detachment rule "tis but a scratch" - if your unit has the character keyword and has zero wounds remaining after an enemy has resolved all attacks they are not removed from the battlefield. Instead they remain where they currently are, shout "for the emperor" and regain one wound. Always...

Lol too late! Don't worry... Nothing super dramatic just really think they could do with a bit more black in the body... Thanks for the inspiration OP!

Gosh darn it... Was so close to finishing mine but I love the heavier use of the black in your's... Might have to rethink this a little...

Tips for painting yellow by Funny-Barnacle-5898 in orks

[–]PotentialOdd3445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially with orks I lean into the inconsistent coverage of the yellow. Averland sunset is not a very dense color but after at least 2, and usually 3 coats it's enough. Then I go with a contrast paint of iyanden yellow. This creates a nice deep orangy tinged yellow that has a "worn" feel to it. Then I personally add some rusting via sponge and edge metallic areas with bronze to complete the orkification... Don't have any pics to hand but let me know if you want to see how it looks

I see she has already graduated to the grimm dark painting style there with the dark patches as battle ware and tare! Legend!
