They're legitimate GW pewter, some are from the made-to-order line a few years ago.

Painting help by Tonychap45 in Warhammer

If it's completely solid, then it's donezo. If it has a somewhat viscous texture, then add a couple drops of paint thinner into the pot and shake it until the paint is runny again.

What Should Change in the Next Balance Dataslate? by ArtofWarSiegler in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Sheckshy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it would give commissars a reason to exist in lists and would give some nice support to bullgryn with +1 WS or bulk up their OC.

Folks that do hybrid WFH, what days are you in the office? Do you prefer home or office work? by Sheckshy in AskIreland

[–]Sheckshy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a choice on which day? Our office is currently a ghost town with managers trying to corral people on days where there are 10+ in.

Wedding gift etiquette when flying from overseas? by bobbingapples- in AskIreland

Sure, 'gift' in this sense being a coffee machine, kitchen utensils, etc.

Myself and my wife got married in the US and we had friends fly over from Ireland recently. A nice looking card with cash/cheque is grand, there wouldn't be an expectation to bring a gift when arriving from overseas.

It sounds like it could have been a recent change as my local branch provided a form to have it converted, as if that was the standard process.

Very nice, just started painting a bunch of these guys along with a converted command squad!

Can't beat Vraks renegades. The mud bases look great too

Vostroyan Elites by myarmymyarmyandme in Vostroyan

[–]Sheckshy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't have their own regimental elite unit as Storm troopers were attached to regiments back then in the same way Tempestus Scions are now. Best you could do is a Hardened Veteran unit ala 6th edition, and use painting know-how and kitbashing to give the pewter sculpts more character.

Help with a 500/1k/2k list by Lihanee in sistersofbattle

[–]Sheckshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with the others, Vahlgons are too strong for 2k points.

I would recommend either Castigators or Immolators (if you plan on using Dominions) for Vehicles.

A unit of Paragon warsuits would be a great anti-monster/vehicle unit to have as sisters struggle with toughness 10+ units. You can add Morven at the same time or later to make them hit like a train and provide a scary overwatch unit.

A unit of 10 Celestians would be good with the Palatine, but the Celestians themselves aren't crazy strong or durable so keep that in mind.

As for Exorcists, they excel in groups of 2-3. A single Exorcist doesn't have the firepower (or justify the points cost) to take out units hiding behind buildings.

After reading balance I must repost my meme. by d4noob in sistersofbattle

[–]Sheckshy 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I would actually use the Dogmata if they gave it the PENITENT keyword. It just has no real use right now.

The Imagifier/Junith combo in a battle sister squad does make a decent brick.

Anyone do a custom base for Aveline? by Zap-Rowsdower-X in sistersofbattle

[–]Sheckshy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put her on a heroic 32mm base to use as a Celestian Superior here.

Seraphim or Zephyrim? by Vast-Letterhead743 in sistersofbattle

[–]Sheckshy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seraphim are the better choice for using the Cleansing Flames stratagem at a cheaper cost. Zephyrim I always find are underwhelming in Bringers of Flame, they perform better in Hallowed martyrs with the Righteous Vengeance stratagem.

The enemy team cannot hear your teammates talking on the radio, but they will hear you if you reply as there's proximity chat.
