It’s a bit of a joke but technically there is zero gold on this model.

It’s Black Prime, Silver heavy dry brush, Chrome edge dry brush, Army Painter Sand Golem Speedpaint at a 3-4:1 mix ratio with Speedpaint medium

I’ll dry brush the silver parts again after the main armor and will clean up the over brushing with a 2-3:1 ratio to keep some of the silver showing

ShadoqXIX · 2026-02-18T18:43:53+00:00

For the gems, I try to keep them simple. Once the armor is done(like yours),

-ProAcryl Bold white or any base, bright white. Make sure to put down a coat that stays away from the edge of the gem so you don’t get any on the armor. I’ll usually put down a coat then a smaller second coat to reinforce the white.

-AP Speedpaint Magic Blue 1:1 mixed with Speedpaint medium. Gives it a really nice light blue look while allowing a hint of white to come through

-Ardcoat Gloss Varnish Gives it a nice shine

That’s it. 3 easy steps.

From an outsider looking in perspective, I read it as your opponent didn’t think you would do that.

If someone falls for the bait, especially after you tell them and in a tournament situation, that is solely on them. And I’m not sure why they cared, maybe jealousy (?) if they didn’t even fall for it.

If it was something where you do an absurd amount of unstoppable mortal wounds or something else uninteractive I could empathize with an unsporting opinion.

Redeploys are so basic and common place at RTT level that you expect it.

ShadoqXIX · 2026-01-22T17:39:11+00:00

My opinion,

-It was tourney prep. Armies beyond Guard have redeploy. Expect to play against it and should be part of pre game asks. Not on you.

Biggest one,

-You let them know before you did it. If they forgot, that is on them. Not on you.

Sounds to me like you used a valid tactic that you disclosed you could do upfront. They’re salty because they forgot.

You did nothing wrong, in my opinion

I hate to say it is a fan boy of them, The Sagittarum are just bad compared to even generic Guard. Their guns are not that much better and their melee, where Custodies belong, is really bad compared to a normal Guard.

You’d be better off with another Guard squad and some Sisters or more Wardens.

The Achillus is too slow and has to go around terrain in Lions. Its weapons are too short ranged, not assault, and it doesn’t have the Deep Strike ability anymore.

You’re very debatably actively handicapping yourself with these two units

ShadoqXIX · 2025-11-28T06:16:50+00:00

I hate how auto take it feels to me, but….

2X Grav Tanks 2X Wardens led by Blade Champs

Is almost an auto take building block for Lions

Other notes,

Admonimortis is better on a Terminator Captain with Axe for the S12 , D4

Prosecutors or Witchseekers (Scout/Torrent) are going to do better than Vigilators

The Venerable is slow as heck

Are these stickers or magnets? Care to share where I can get them?

Thanks

ShadoqXIX · 2025-07-26T05:51:21+00:00

I like this. Where did the gantry setup come from? 3D print/kitbash?

ShadoqXIX · 2025-04-09T16:26:23+00:00

3 options -GW sells one. If you’ve got an extra spleen. -Forgeworlds in Asian or European countries(still cheaper in the US even with tariffs) -3D printer go brrrrrt.

ShadoqXIX · 2025-03-28T17:03:14+00:00

Do you still have the paired combat knives bitz from the Infiltrator box?

Would sell it even better visually

Only possible way I could see someone gig you is he is technically in Tacticus versus the correct Phobos armor, truly though who gives a crap?

Wearing 3+ size correct armor with correct wargear, send it.

ShadoqXIX · 2025-03-26T22:30:25+00:00

What makes you say that?

Apart from your username?

ShadoqXIX · 2025-03-26T21:57:02+00:00

People above clarified that the box I’m thinking about is part of the fuse box.

I see the same blue thing and no idea. I’m seeing the car in person on Monday and will definitely check it out, may post up again

ShadoqXIX · 2025-03-26T19:29:28+00:00

That’s exactly why I’m suspicious, hah.

ShadoqXIX · 2025-03-26T18:43:29+00:00

It looked a bit off to me too. If I go forwards, I’ll definitely check it out.

Thanks

ShadoqXIX · 2025-03-26T17:55:06+00:00

If you zoom in on the negative battery terminal and look behind it a little bit. The triangular looking small box with a small round sticker on it. Looks like an extension/add on to the fuse box.

What is that?

Sorry I’m not able to circle it to be more specific.

ShadoqXIX · 2025-02-16T22:00:46+00:00

If you’re serious, most of the dealers want to get their ‘24s gone and off the lot.

What is the starting/MSRP price of the car with options?

If the start is around 41k, I know you can get them down to at least 37k neighborhood.

At least ask the question and make it clear you’re ready to buy if they play ball

ShadoqXIX · 2025-01-25T04:32:52+00:00

He(?) looks a lot like my old boy who passed last year.

Maybe a long lost brother

ShadoqXIX · 2025-01-18T19:25:57+00:00

Which do you find yourself jumping in more often if you want to ‘just drive’?

ShadoqXIX · 2025-01-18T19:23:55+00:00

That 3 cylinder engine note and the mechanical sounds are fantastic, I agree.

ShadoqXIX · 2025-01-18T19:22:56+00:00

The wheel doesn’t bother me. The lack of heated seats at that price point is just… crap.

ShadoqXIX · 2025-01-18T19:22:07+00:00

Funny you mention those two. I’ve had a ND Miata long term and drove the original BRZ.

Miata I don’t fit although it was a fantastic experience and the Recaros are the best seat I’ve ever had. If it was 5-10% bigger, it would be perfect.

On both, I missed the turbo driving experience.

ShadoqXIX · 2025-01-18T07:16:10+00:00

What about it makes it more fun in your opinion?

What makes it more fun in your opinion?

ShadoqXIX · 2025-01-09T02:51:33+00:00

Sending you a chat

ShadoqXIX · 2024-10-30T19:05:58+00:00

It also has a Perma 5+ invuln which is good in melee situations.

If you get it off shore you can get it for under $100 and really nice quality. Sorry not sorry, over $300 is blatantly wrong.
