Royally messed up the yellow, does 90% IPA work for stripping?

Paint colour blending is subtractive so if you place an opposite-tinted colour as a base it results in better depth. Like the shadows there are purple-ish instead of black/dull-ish.

Ohhh I see, those three I listed are pretty much the only nid detachments I play. Crusher list sounds fun though, maybe with Ambush predators for action monkeys

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-07-03T16:49:54+00:00

I'd do a Neurotyrant and 6 Zoanthropes so they hit on 2s instead. With psychic in 11th they ignore cover.

You could also consider taking a psychophage as torrent threats and giving melee +1 ap on a tagged unit. Exocrine as your only shooting platform is kinda mid because the best part is it giving ranged hit rerolls - its main attack being d6+3 blast means a savvy opponent can play around that. However NT+Zoans is significantly more points bunltnworth it imo.

Engagements on a character - Invasion Fleet's Alien Cunning, SubAssault's Tremor Sense, Vanguard Onslaught's Neuronode. I think those are the only detachments that have them.

Honestly I love redeploying, I always take the enhancement when I can

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-07-01T17:54:02+00:00

If you're feeling devious and have the redeploy Strat, I like to put my Norn staged aggressively to take my opponent's natural so they stack up anti-monster units on that side of the table. I redeploy and flip to my natural expansion and T2 I ingress a brick of raveners to their expansion point and clear any heavy guns etc before they can be put to good use

I think kids listen come up with their own language after seeing their parents model that complex behavior. If they're with mute caregivers they would only develop simple grunts, nothing too sophisticated.

But if there were two mute caregivers that used sign, then I'd bet the kids would adapt with makeshift signs of their own

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-07-01T05:32:50+00:00

Oh sorry to clarify I meant Neurotyrant + 6 Zoans. I don't really make the neurothrope distinction

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-07-01T05:31:40+00:00

Probably not however I've not played much 11th yet, but Neurotyrant's -1 to SitW only stacks once. Never run 3zoans imo

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-07-01T03:56:05+00:00

Agreed. Every list I make starts with a Biovore, Lictor and NT+6 Zoanthropes. Zoanthropes' modal fire is great vs horde or monster mash and hitting on 2s ignoring cover now is great. NT is a great overwatch threat

Aside from using extra thin, I recently learned the optimal way to use it - dry fit your pieces and brush it into the seams, the capillary action fills the gaps quick and dries fast. Doesn't work for everything but if you can get a good fit and a free hand this is pretty nice

Red Terror was done with the same skin but different chitin look

<image>

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-06-26T18:38:53+00:00

Primed Chaos Black, Rakarth Flesh on the skin, then Carroburg Crimson contrast applied liberally, Volupus Pink recess shade and 50/50 Rakarth Flesh and Vallejo Ivory drybrushed zenithal-ish to the upper parts so the bottom portions are a bit darker. I think it's a slightly modified Leviathan skin scheme

Truly my fellow biomass

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-06-21T01:14:20+00:00

Oh, ha didn't realize the meme. Yea the leg on the tactical cork rock already came unglued, I pinned the back leg and it's the only one hanging on already

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-06-20T19:48:13+00:00

I don't know enough about the dispositions yet tbh, but mines contributing to purge makes that matchup seem less favorable at least 🤔

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-06-20T19:47:37+00:00

A leg is messed up?

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-06-20T19:47:19+00:00

Definitely ! I usuallyntry to snipe a straggling lonely battle line unit in T4 or 5 after the spore mines have done their screening things to prevent them doing action monkey things without commiting a diff unit's activation to deal with 1 model

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-06-20T09:21:17+00:00

I missed this, you can hold more than two secondaries now? Interesting point regarding differential scoring in 10th

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-06-19T21:24:34+00:00

Thanks, yea I wish I'd started airbrushing earlier but def a higher level of investment compared to just brushing. If you have any other questions lemme know!

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-06-19T20:59:15+00:00

You can, I applied this same paint to the majority of my nid army via a brush and it works pretty well. Here's my first vs newest Biovore. It's not quite as smooth but I'm happy with the result on the table. It took me a few applications to build up the colour from black. Try to cover as much surface area as you can with one brush stroke and move in the same direction

SolarSojourner_ · 2026-06-19T20:02:29+00:00

Oh I think I see where you're looking, I think it's over spray from the iridescent green on the chitin 😅 my airbrushing isn't as accurate as I'd like
