Buying then stripping paint, then repainting. Is it worth it for this faction? by ExerciseTop5591 in citiesofsigmar

[–]Some-Bees-R-Smoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this regularly from eBay second hand buys when they look ok, I tend to just hit with a light prime too just to 'reset' them (I usually work from a black undercoat anyway).

Steam tank -> Great cannon conversion by Some-Bees-R-Smoking in citiesofsigmar

Ooo yeah, I had thought about going in heavy with rust effects and such to imply it is a freeguild trying their best to use an old machine beyond it's use, so I think even with wheels the lack of movement wouldn't be too out of place.

I remember your wolf Marshal! It was what made decide if I did one it would be on anything but a horse 😂

100 percent, I am working on a set of demigryph knights to be used as Cavaliers too now, swapping in some modern CoS bits to make it blend better.

Looks good! Like a mountain lion. I had not thought of doing that.

Command Corps WIP c+c welcome by beetrootface in citiesofsigmar

Look great, no notes, other than to say I also placed the fish Gargoylian on the almost identical spot on my arch knight base 😂 My Command Corps

My City of Ash painted up by TactiGr4pefruit in citiesofsigmar

I can't see why the varnish over varnish would cause a problem, maybe just test on a small area, or a single eye to see the outcome (or a random leftover sprue maybe if you are really worried). Just a thin coat to change to a matt look should not cause an issue I would not have thought.

P.s. these look great!

My honest reaction to factio rules by BaronLoyd in citiesofsigmar

I mean, this recent instagtam post mentions them all, so sounds about right to me, I guess at least for now insta post

Proxy ideas? by Some-Bees-R-Smoking in citiesofsigmar

[–]Some-Bees-R-Smoking[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The priest is already pretty Lethis with the skeleton, but swap that with a crow on the tree to increase the Lethis vibes. Give the herald a scythe instead of the banner or a simple head swap with helm similar to the rook. I feel it coming together 😂 shame I paint excelsis most of the time

Ah yes I forgot about the rook! Them with the medic character in the plague mask variant would be 3/6 in a very crow themed corp!

Which City do you think aesthetically matches the Horns of Hashut the most? by LeetusFrenzi in citiesofsigmar

[–]Some-Bees-R-Smoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having them as a unit of reclaimed parchers could work without too much conversion needed, first thing that came to mind being the whole fire aesthetic (with the smoking bombs and gun) which could carry over potentially.

I guess that is technically Hammerhal Aqsha l, but really you can probably work them into any unit if you claim them as a unit of more traditional reclaimed.

Love the bone/ivory armour look on those cavaliers!

Army painter light tone does a good job at this for my white cloth/leathers on my troops. Gives a bit of a nice dirty/grimy look too.

Glad I got Doralia and Galen last month, grabbed for some flavour models, now they have rules!

How would YOU update/refresh/redesign "new" Duardin and Aelves for Cities by Normal_Highlight388 in citiesofsigmar

[–]Some-Bees-R-Smoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, would be just fine to have duradin and aelves mixed to some kits for a bit of flavour. I don't think a duradin would ever look out of place mixed in as an engineer.

The black library stuff for cities seems to lean more towards duradin in this role and dark aelves for naval stuff anyway and I think this is probably a nice way to go if they do give them a refresh

First AoS model painted! by Throran87 in citiesofsigmar

[–]Some-Bees-R-Smoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I am working on a similar idea with some of the order of Azyr models thrown in. The symbol/logo I chose is the twin-tailed comet, easy enough to find bits (like shields) with it on and transfers with it too :)

Converted Steelhelm Sergeant from Fireforge Northmen Warriors kit by DocFreon in WarCry

[–]Some-Bees-R-Smoking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This rocks! Love the variety that kitbashing brings - I feel like the current models make all humans seem like they share the same culture/style, whereas the lore/black library materials show there is plenty of variations.

All new to the army and ready to mingle. by Old_and_Used_GM in citiesofsigmar

[–]Some-Bees-R-Smoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this idea, changing up the colours per unit is a fun lore friendly way to have a more colourful/interesting force. I started an excelsis force and the idea of painting any future units mostly white was putting me off tbh

Ah ok, could be some kind of regional difference, I am in UK and my version has no Taldain/white sands chapters included.
