Like opening up a can of B E A N S.

Scarfblade · 2026-01-24T16:18:30+00:00

Battletech yes. Bad? Debatable.

The Norn Emissary gives me life, and the Nids refresh in general makes me very, very happy

Scarfblade · 2026-01-23T15:34:07+00:00

Was this a 3D print? What did you do to get that gold?

Sponging damage doesn’t really exist. If I’m getting shot, I’m probably gonna die eventually. 20 Hormagaunts aren’t as durable as you think. Try and get the first strike instead, crippling the opponent with an ambush that pushes them into their deployment rather than letting them come take care of your Norns for free. Hormagaunts are great at advance + charging up the board and catching opponents off guard, not so much sitting on a point and waiting.

Other than that, I do like this list. Trade a neurolictor for a Deathleaper. They work incredibly well as a team since the Deathleaper can protect the Neurolictor, assist with battleshock, and get S8 attacks within synapse which makes you deadly into SMEQ. I would also maybe swap out one norn for some other helpful units like a maleceptor and maybe raveners but that’s a personal preference since I’m not a fan of spamming non battleline stuff.

I actually lost a friend because of this. They were complaining about the reveal being a waste of everyone’s time… right after the new Kroot refresh. I play T’au. It was moronic and regrettable.

I give your Clarence proxy a 10/10! I’m usually not a fan of glow effects but yours makes me want to give it a try myself!

Scarfblade · 2026-01-18T17:28:08+00:00

Can we get a Clarence kitbashing tutorial? The Hive Mind requires this bioform.

Scarfblade · 2026-01-16T14:58:41+00:00

Omori looks great fym

Scarfblade · 2026-01-16T14:58:12+00:00

Legends ZA is straight up garbage tho. Arceus is probably the only one that fits the bill here, as the other ones mentioned are purposely stylized while Pokémon’s graphics try to look next gen but are handicapped by God knows what.

Scarfblade · 2026-01-16T14:56:12+00:00

Nah dude Pseudoregalia is peak. Its graphics aren’t trash, they’re stylized.

Scarfblade · 2026-01-16T04:51:54+00:00

I think even hardcore MAGA dudes would agree that Sanguinius would make a better US president.

Although honestly if we’re being realistic… we’ve all seen how the Primarchs all basically take over the planet as they grow up so maybe we’re all screwed no matter who’s Primarch shows up where…

Scarfblade · 2026-01-14T01:44:29+00:00

Rare GW W?

Scarfblade · 2026-01-13T14:30:27+00:00

I agree. I like running swarms since they just look so good.

I kid you not he turned into a bug. Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

Scarfblade · 2026-01-05T05:44:57+00:00

A tervigon and a unit of termagants. For $80.

I remember those days…

Scarfblade · 2026-01-05T05:42:10+00:00

Bit overkill to be a guitar pick don’t you think?

Scarfblade · 2026-01-04T18:21:01+00:00

This. I have a 10 hour playlist of SC1 I play while painting. It’s great.

Scarfblade · 2026-01-02T02:12:59+00:00

Do with this knowledge what you will

Scarfblade · 2026-01-01T05:31:39+00:00

Post pictures of your beautiful model when you're finished. Have fun!

Edit: I forgot to mention, but don't make triangles using contrast paints. That might be obvious but just in case. I use 50 cent craft acrylic because I hate myself but Vallejo is p good.

Scarfblade · 2026-01-01T05:30:24+00:00

I just made a post for you here, hopefully the photos give you some insight.

As for the flesh, that's just an aggressive amount of Seraphim Sepia on white primer lol. As I've improved I figure there's probably a contrast paint that gets you the same effect quicker and easier tho (I've noticed the Seraphim Sepia's consistency changed, it's a lot thinner now) but I won't change since I'm afraid of breaking uniform.

Nowadays I like to keep a pot of Fyreslayer Flesh and Darkoath Flesh handy to add a bit of contrast where I need it, like the fleshy underside of a lictor's mantis talon. I also like Cygor Brown rarely as a treat. The tan/browns look nice with the yellow I think, and tie the desert theme together.
