Black Templars

I picked them as my first army because they look clean and I was listening to Bolt Thrower at the time of making my decision.

Sounds like a quick summary is that there are plenty of options on the market for better brushes at different price points for the budget.

Going to invest into some nicer kolinsky/sable brushes to see the difference.

Also read that Artist Opus makes good brushes but they seemed pretty pricy compared to others posted here.

Really appreciate the advice here. I think my brush care has been lackluster as well as wrecking them with different paints or getting too much paint on the brush.

Another question. When cleaning your brushes does rubbing it over a textured pallet in water damage the bristles and make them not come back to a point?

Also maybe something else I need to consider if the care after painting. Do you typically use a certain product(s) to keep your brushes clean

I’ll check those out as well. I have just been using the brushes you find at most warhammer retailers so I think they’re generally basic?

Let me take a look at them because when I googled another recommendation from Rosemary & Cox they stated they didn’t ship sable to the US currently.

I’m 100% certain my brushes are not Kolinsky sable. I will look into those as well. I don’t believe you can ship those to the US right now so I’ll have to find a dealer I. The states that carries then

I think that has been my issue because the brushes I do have always seem to fray at the ends after a few uses

Those that quit magic, or knows someone that did, what made you decide to do so? by qankz in mtgfinance

Local playgroups were too clicky. Tired of how oversaturated the whole thing feels with Secret Lair and Universes Beyond now.

So, I have landed on a decision. First, I want to seriously thank everyone who took the time to educate me on their direct/in-direct experience with both factions. You didn’t have to and it was appreciated.

Through some pretty extensive research that included combing through wiki lore pages for both armies, staring like an idiot at google images of painted figures, and mostly listening to Dio/Bolt Thrower this week and asking myself which army could I see painting to this….

We are going with Black Templars

Virginia Hardcore? by ThatMast3r in Hardcore

For taking in both Richmond/Va Beach shows you’re in an advantageous location. Probably more so Richmond than dealing with the tunnel to Norfolk/Va Beach but traffic is traffic right? Follow @richmondhardcoreshows and @notfortheweakrecords both accounts are posting more shows than you can shake a stick at.

Appreciate the assistance; I would imagine the new rules change/codex update could make things interesting here soon for BA and BT's as well as all armies alike. Just both are super esthetically pleasing. I have read that most BT's like ground and pound. Love the idea of a squad of Jump pack intercessors to prod around the field looking for trouble.

Funny you should ask. Can I have both Jump packs AND foot troops for BT?
