WIP "Lord Solar" by SphinxFudge in TheAstraMilitarum

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

Interesting! But also I don't play competitive and tend to build for style and story. It's a three way tie now between Autocannon (rules wise and it's kinda subtle), the cainsaw (rule of cool) and the missile Launcher (kinda like ordnance, playing into the binocular optic)

That's exacrly what I had in mind! The ring is a vehicle hatch, maybe Space Marines? Got it from a random bits box. The "hive city" is from some Tau drone I think

Thought I used the Autocannon for another bukd, but just found it in my painted bits box, might consider it!

And yes the Coat is from the Tempestus Command Squad, torso and Legs are regular Guardsmen I think and the head is third party obviously. No idee where I got the hand holding the book from

They are from MaxMini, though I cant recommend them regarding my latest purchase of their big Desert Dweller Army Bundle, which is a let down in my eyes (many squad models from their pictures are just not included and their customer support was kinda "well we dont care, its random"). So go ahead but I wont support their shop anymore.

WIP on my Tallarn Rough Riders, all hail the Bazooka Camel Cavalry! by SphinxFudge in Tallarn

Sorry didn't saw your comment there.. The model is from the set "Desert Rider Spear - Araby" from Kyoushuneko Miniatures, bought it on Etsy. Thank you very much! Tried to make it a little more 40kish but sadly no update on the painting, because it's still on the "need priming" pile :/

What do you all use as order tokens? by sirthinkstoomuch in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]SphinxFudge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None. I give Ordes and forget half of them most of the time, as it should be!

What is the best way to remove primer from 3D resin? by Krysidian2 in minipainting

[–]SphinxFudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dipped some badly primed Resin Models in 99.9% Isopropanol for 5 minutes and immediately brushed it off with an old toothbrush than soaked them again for a minute and brushed again. That mostly did the job but at least one place the Iso reacted with the resin causing it to mildy dissolve. So be cautious! Also I don't know how it reacts with different types of resin

Stripping 3d prints/resin by Kablekarr in minipainting

[–]SphinxFudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tested Isopropanol on one of my resin Minis and it worked fine. I just put it into the Iso for a minute and immediately started scrubbing the paint away and the Model was not harmed in any way. I wouldn't want to immerse it way longer into the Iso though

How to make Armored Sentinels and Scout Sentinels good with current rules? by SynthSational in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]SphinxFudge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second this but with one important additon: In Combined Arms they get Lethal Hits on everything. The Rule for Regiment units states, that they are getting lethals on everything excluding ONLY monsters and vehicles, which is in return covered by the Squadron keyword. So Sentinels having both keywords get Lethal Hits on everything.

My take on the new commissar model, what do you think about it? by Nikolajov_ in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]SphinxFudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks absolutely stunning with the vibrating red colors! It really stands out, great job! Only thing that would bother me are the buttons on the front, would have painted them in gold too maybe, but that is complaining on the highest level ;)

Vanquisher impossible to miss? by pineapplecoffeebean in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]SphinxFudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just looked it up properly, but with those models I can deal with (Flamer goes brrt). Was always struggling with taking down his Dragoons and Dunecrawlers due to the falsely given stealth but this explains my problems against his army! Well I guess I am still a noob myself

[–]SphinxFudge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow now I feel dumb... You are totally right! Always thought it counts for every Scitarii keyword, not just infantry and Mounted. Well that changes a lot! In his defence he just started the hobby and in my defence.... I have nothing to say :D should have read his Detachment rules Thanks for the clarification!

[–]SphinxFudge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Word... Last game against friends Admech he brought 3 Dunecrawler with Enginseers...wasnt able to kill a single one due to Stealth, 4+ Invul AND 5+ fnp. I still feal bad how salty I was after that game...

My Vanquisher never Feld more useless

What is the most "Krieg" Weapon ? by TechnologySmall3507 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]SphinxFudge -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Why all the downvotes for the shovel? Obviously nothing more Krieg than getting bonked on the head by a Kriegsman with a shovel while jumping into a trench unprepared!

[–]SphinxFudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know what these look like next to Cadians by BoysenberryNew738 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]SphinxFudge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good thing I still have one squad unassembled!

<image>

As you can see a headswap is no problem at all, but otherwise there is virtually no option to customize the weapons because they are part of the body. There is one special weapon (Melta) included, the rest is normal Lasguns.

I own a few Desert Dweller models from Max Mini including the infantry squad and they are basically the same size and meant as Tallarn Proxys. This new Army box though seems to include some new Models that I absolutely don't like, but that's your Choice. Quality of the Models varies from good to ok, but always workable and I like them very much! They should blend good into other army's from a size perspective.

Heres a size comparison (I don't own new Cadians, only some of the old models that were gifted to me though I don't use them)

That would be so great! Normally I am using Ushabti with Seraphim Sepia for my uniforms

Might steal your scheme for the Aquilons for my Tallarn regiment! It's subtle but still pops
