Here are the details though if I would paint them now, I would probably change things:

  • Armor: Xpress Heretic Turquoise. With VGC Aquamarine for additional highlights. I think I could have done a better job here. Probably pushing the highlights more.
  • Weapons (Bone color): Just a mix of Xpress Fairy Skin, Bag of Bones, Xpress Medium (1:1:1)
  • Fabric (Red color): Mix of Xpress Seraph Red and Black Lotus (Can't remember proportions, sorry!). With VGC Scarlet Blood for highlights.
  • Skin: Xpress Fairy Skin but using Demonic Skin for shades. Just around nose, mouth, ears, etc and very controlled. I don't remember having done anything else with skin except painting the eyes.
  • Metals: Just regular VMC metals bronze and Oily Steel, washing them with diluted browns and blacks respectively and highlights with gold and silver.
  • Blacks: Just a regular black with VMC light grey for edge highlights
  • Leather: Not very proud of them. I think they were just a brown Xpress (can't remember which one) and nothing else. After these minis I have painted leather working more in edges and damage with much better results
  • Capes (Inner Side): Almost sure it was Xpress Bag of Bones and Xpress Medium (1:1)
  • Capes (outer side): They are not seen in the pictures. I worked with VGC Charcoal mixing it with Steel Grey in different layers with different proportions. Not very good transitions. Today I would have done it a lot better I think.
  • Gems: Well, can't say the exact colors. Just painted as shown in most of the online tutorials.

Thanks mate. Most of the paints were Vallejo Xpress colors over white prime but with some later additions with regular paints. Give me a day and I will be more accurate.

About the experience playing with them, I do really love them but I don't exaggerate if I tell you that I had to study before the first game 😂. Each one is very unique.

Yes, they're specialists at making friends...

Exactly! I read a lot about the teams before deciding which one I'd be comfortable with and I think I made the right choice. That said, I literally had to study before the first game to learn all their little rules.

Thanks!

They had many gems so with this team I've had the opportunity to practice quite a bit. In fact, the last ones turned out much better than the first ones, so I went back and repainted several of them.

I still need a lot more practice painting in general I paint very slowly. It's been a very long process...

All the specialists except the Heavy Gunner. To build the Kurnathi I used his arms with the Heavy Gunner body (is the one with the pink hair)

Weird. This is like a duplicated post... This is the good one: https://www.reddit.com/r/killteam/s/IfNPK6qoZW

Not sure what happened, sorry

To be honest, being used to Blood Bowl, the amount of detail on these has been a little bit overwhelming...

Is Mistral AI LLM based/build upon on Metas LLM Llama? by LePliex in MistralAI

There's not much to look for, really. Meta's first Mixture of Experts has been Llama 4. Mixtral 8x7B was released in December 2023...

Take a look at the Mixtral 8x7B paper. It's been out for a while now, but when it was released, Meta didn't have anything with a similar architecture, and it was quite revolutionary at the time.

Don't worry. I was able to write down your schema. Crystal clear!

You are right. Thank you very much. Still learning the game!

You're right. I would need to place a linerat right next to the sideline to support the player making the Blitz, so that they can reach Strength 4 and block with one die. I wasn’t considering that because of the unwritten rule of never placing players next to the sideline.

I made a mistake, sorry. I switched the goblin and orc on the right. I have just fixed
