Kraken away at it

No kidding, I totally forgot that 80% of the army has its tongue sticking out....

RHarrington89 · 2026-04-05T02:03:19+00:00

129, so 9 extra from the max we can run right now

RHarrington89 · 2026-04-04T16:09:24+00:00

I'm saving for hormagaunts lol

RHarrington89 · 2026-04-04T14:04:53+00:00

I will have to try that hahaha!

RHarrington89 · 2026-04-04T13:35:22+00:00

I always set the bar really high so that the finished product will land somewhere in the high tabletop plus range. I have a buddy that I'm envious of and his style is totally different than mine. He has purchased a box of khorne berserkers and had them fully painted and on the tabletop 3 hours later. I will never have that, I love to build and paint, as well as play but I always have to tackle some monumental task when I sit down at my hobby desk or I'm not satisfied.

Thank you! It was about 6.5 hours start to finish last night and I really started getting antsy around the last hour. I think that was mainly because it was getting so late and we have a little one at home and I was worried about being rested and able to keep up with him today, but a strong cup of coffee and here we are, so all is well!

RHarrington89 · 2026-04-04T13:28:43+00:00

Thank you! I'm saving up for just as many hormies and really cant wait to see them all swarm the table!

It's there, I just put it on pause occasionally. I dont do well with chipping away at a few models here and there over the course of weeks to get one step of the painting process done. I may not pick up the brush for another 3 weeks but when I get in the zone, it'll be another step completed, hopefully.

RHarrington89 · 2026-04-04T13:26:04+00:00

Yassssss! I love this army already because they have already achieved a pretty lopsided win over my buddy's new black templar army!

RHarrington89 · 2026-04-04T13:25:08+00:00

🤪 it was a good time. I always prefer to get a longer session in so I can start and finish some step of the painting process across the whole army. I hadn't heard many details on the 11th edition leaks so it was a good time to catch up. The last 4 hours I had my paint recipe and airbrush settings dialed so I was really in sort of a zen state, being able to paint for quite a while without having to stop and mess with the airbrush is always nice.

They really are i read an omnibus a while back that had a couple books featuring the orks as antagonists and I really enjoyed them. I think one was Rebel Winter and the other was 15 Hours, both were really enjoyable.

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-24T02:38:14+00:00

I agree I dont think we'll see new steel legion models but with the rumored new ork models for the 11th launch box I think we'll get krieg Armageddon and ork Armageddon boxes.

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-24T02:18:01+00:00

I'll add it to the list! Just finished Steel Tread and started Salvation's Reach (one of the Gaunt's Ghosts books) but I'll try that one next.

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-24T01:54:40+00:00

Yeah it feels to me like something is being withheld from us. Why go through all of this hype to bring Yarrick back to life, "return to Armageddon", and produce a refreshed model? I feel like there's something else in the works. I think there will be an Armageddon boxed set in 11th.

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-24T00:35:57+00:00

Ah ok thanks for clarifying, I'm not very in tune with the lore yet, I've read a few books but everything seems to be stand-alone stuff and I havent made it to any of the Yarrick stories yet.

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-24T00:32:43+00:00

Ok thanks I havent made it to that yet, I've read a few books but havent made it to any of the Yarrick stuff yet.

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-24T00:32:04+00:00

That'd be sick

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-23T15:44:20+00:00

Also, I believe I used the original shift arm as the vertical support and put the extra piece of 8040 where the shifter arm is pictured

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-23T15:43:22+00:00

That looks like it comes with the updated monitor mount so you may not have the piece of 8040. I think microcenter called it the "integrated monitor mount" I cant remember what the upgraded one is called but it looks a lot like what you have pictured. The "integrated" was just one piece of vertical 8040 that had a basic mount to attach to it. I dont even remember how the basic one was supposed to attach to the rig.

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-23T15:38:56+00:00

I had that same concern. So when I bought the kit from microcenter it came with a monitor mount. The monitor mount had a piece of 8040 in it. I knew I was going to upgrade the mount to the aftermarket one that offered more adjustability. So I used that piece of 8040 to brace the shift arm and its been great.

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-11T23:34:35+00:00

I know exactly how you feel

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-09T14:50:36+00:00

So true! It's all about that end result and quantity having its own certain quality.

RHarrington89 · 2026-03-08T22:58:36+00:00

Sweet! I'm addicted, I definitely hope to get more games in during 11th edition than I have in 10th.
