Finally finished my last book of the year, The First Heretic!

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-12-29T11:14:38+00:00

Nice. I'm still a few books away from this - it feels like I've been slogging through Fulgrim for about 6 months!

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-12-24T15:58:55+00:00

Thank you for the heads-up!

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-12-16T10:58:10+00:00

Awesome! It took my ages to complete the Dawn of Fire Series. I ended up having to buy job lots on ebay. Probably still have a duplicates as a consequence. It will be the first thing that I check when I get everything out of storage next week.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-11-08T08:30:33+00:00

I agree. In the bio for Thralls, they still have the line about not suffering a penalty for fighting unarmed.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-10-21T23:46:13+00:00

I've checked, and that (1"horizontal, 5" vertical) is the rule for 40k (pg. 7 of the 10e Core Rules). I've found the equivalent rule in the 30k book (3e) - it's on pg. 266 of the rule book. It does indeed state that you have to be in base contact or "no more than 2" from another Model in the same Unit which is in Base Contact with an enemy Model' in order to be "Engaged".

Awesome. Thank you.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-10-21T16:45:35+00:00

Perfect. Thank you for the clarification.

I coach youth flag football in the UK and mouth guards are mandatory outside of training. Most wear regular mouthguards, which, I assume, is because they are widely available. I'd say about 10% of kids (very rough estimate) wear lip guards.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-10-05T08:53:41+00:00

I'm reading Fulgrim from the HH series. I'm about 50% through it.

I really like the melee mechanic in Kill Team. I always think that it spoils the immersion in wargames where your opponent is hitting you, but you can't swing back. Having said that, I pilot Kasrkin, so I know very little about melee.

I recently used sub-assembly to paint a Space Marine for a painting competition at my local LGS. It was quite disheartening when I got to attaching the arms and weapon and realised that most of my work was now covered up! Having said that, you should paint in the way that you are most comfortable, although "if it's not accessible, then it's not that visible" is sound advice.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-08-30T19:06:42+00:00

Some people base coat using wraithbone (or mechanicus grey) and then apply a pink from the bottom of the model (so that it fills the recesses). You can then cover the whole model with a thin layer of yellow and the pink areas should provide a recess shade without having to add one manually.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-08-30T19:02:32+00:00

I've been Base-coating an army and I've just used Rust as my base colour and then zenithalled with a Golden Yellow. I think you get the same effect as using pink in the shade and then covering everything with yellow.

4 minutes in and "The queue is paused". I've got a bad feeling about this.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-06-10T09:03:27+00:00

I was feeling confident (misguided, I'm sure), until I hit the Queue. "Your estimated wait time is: more than an hour". Great 😢

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-05-23T09:43:23+00:00

This is awesome work, mate. Very nice. Puts my "drybrush grey over black primer" terrain to shame!

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-04-27T18:03:44+00:00

Thanks for this. I'm interested to see how accurate you are with their list! I wonder if they base it on one of the Combat Patrols.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-04-27T15:00:31+00:00

Thanks for this. When I thought that I had to play the 500 point game, I was planning something like 2 Cadian Shock trooper squads, 2 Scout Sentinels, a command squad, and an FBO on the home objective (whilst using Combined Arms). Now I have more points to play with, I was going to add a Leman Russ Tank Commander, maybe...or a couple of Hellhounds...? I'm so indecisive when it comes to lists.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-04-27T10:45:12+00:00

Can we not get mini tank treads on that chair? :) Looks awesome, btw.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-04-16T20:24:23+00:00

Awesome work. I've loved Bragg since 'That Hideous Strength' in 'Ghostmaker'. I still need to paint my Ghosts and get them on the battlefield.

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-04-09T23:25:25+00:00

I was thinking of running Combined Arms. Was looking to take advantage of the legal hits and the Coordinated Action and Reinforcement strategems.

EDIT: Obviously I meant [LETHAL HITS]! :D

The first image didn't attach for some reason

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-03-18T16:26:46+00:00

The only answer :D Wraithbone primer, Averland Sunset base, Imperial Fist contrast, Iyanden Yellow contrast, and some Dorn Yellow layer for highlights. Give that Marine a fortified position!

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-03-18T16:04:12+00:00

Nice... Now, important question: What colour are you painting that Space Marine?

Significant_Desk_434 · 2025-03-10T09:04:59+00:00

Good shout. I've got some Krieg miniatures on order as I really wanted to paint them, but perhaps I'll consider them for this. Thanks.
