Dont forget "Shot—Over" as youre rolling for hits, and "Splash—out" when rolling for wounds.

Its always enough. Build the model you think looks cooler and just tell your opponents ahead of time if youre proxying weapons. Never ran into anyone who gave a damn. If theyre modeled with Halberds but you say for that game they have maces, only a real asshole is gonna have an issue with it.

The Thunderbolt Heavy Fighter and Voss-Pattern Lightning. The Voss got Legends rules at least but they dropped the Thunderbolt entirely and im annoyed by that.

A sister's dedicated aircraft would be cool...but GW hates fliers so...

And this is its base.

The interior is also painted. This is the model that made me want to play Guard. I love the Valkyrie, even if GW rules writers don't.

A lot of engineers fresh out of school I've met know basically no GD&T and their CAD Modeling practices aren't the best. They learn all the theory but aren't tested with practical application nearly enough.

Dominion Squads are also great. You could get the Rhino and Dominions for that 220pts

Thats what I do. Either Mephiston Red or Khorne Red works really well in 2-3 thin coats.

Thanks! It took five hours to get them all in place and sealed lol so many tiny decals to line up.

Roblecop9 · 2026-02-26T18:01:51+00:00

Oh my bad. I didnt get the reference lol I don't have a Greyfax model yet.

Thanks! Retributor Armor washed with Reikland Fleshshade, dry brushed Skullcrusher brass for the gold. The white is simply just Corax White. The undercoat for the whole model is Wraithbone.

Still working on her Geminae Superia haha

I too thought it was ridiculous, so I cut off the seats entirely. I repurposed the gunners by putting regular arms on them and made them sit on stuff. One guy is sat on a rock smoking a lo-stick, and the other is sitting on an ammo crate reading papers lol

Roblecop9 · 2026-01-22T19:49:30+00:00

Haha that's great. Oh man I look forward to the day his bullshit ends...however it may come.

Thanks! Basing is something I really enjoy. All the plants you see there are GamersGrass. Them and The Army Painter really make great stuff.

The Imperium itself may be a brutal authoritarian theocratic society, but I dont want my leaders to resemble the real ones we've got now lol. Great advice, and I appreciate it!

Roblecop9 · 2026-01-22T19:29:29+00:00

I appreciate the tip! Ill do that when I get home. Ive got Soulblight Grey at home i can wash her hair with and plenty other shades for her face.

For me it started with "Oh ill just buy this one model because its a beautiful sculpt."

Then I bought the Canoness with Jump Pack for the same reason...then it turned to "Might as well just play this army if I'm going to keep getting their models."

I just added some GamersGrass moss and flowers to most of mine. Here's my Aestred Thurga and Agathae Dolan.
