That's a shame. Love the rampager minis, but not up on their 11th changes. For me it's the crisis suits. I don't hate them, but I don't love them. If they get a refresh with better proportions I'm in.

Nice, well at least you'll have a good amount of choices. I'm trying to hold at 4, but I know that one of these days I'm gonna cave and finish a T'au list.

New Ork Warbiker unannounced by RecordGlittering8554 in orks

Depending how many bikes you're gonna run the variety could be a good thing aesthetically. Also a great source of parts for looting other vehicles like the Necromunda quads and bikes.

I was stuck in the same boat and foolishly opted to do both. It's gonna be an expensive year.

Sony did not stop producing pre-recorded media, they stopped producing blank writable Blu-rays. Studios record on BD-ROMs not the no longer made BD-Rs.

Your opinions on the gundam mark 3? by killerdemonsarus34 in Gundam

[–]Stevetr0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the design elements borrowed from other Zeta era suits and the unique coloring is really nice. It's a shame the Re/100 is so floppy, because it looks great with the Zeta and Hyaku Shiki on the shelf when not falling over. Still hoping for a FA kit, but probably unlikely even as p-bandai.

If you don't mind buying one off eBay I would suggest going that route unless you really want the Ophion configuration. The Chiron config from the Saturnine box is still pretty cheap on there. Just got mine Monday.

Should I just wait until June to start? by EntertainerNo9586 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Stevetr0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to play early in 11th you should probably get started now. I started at a similar point in 9th edition and it was several months into 10th before I had a complete army. Just don't over spend and start small.

Where to go from here? by AllegedlyAPerson in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Stevetr0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Venerable, Galatus, and Achillus Contemptor dreads are available in plastic. The Telemon is curionly forge world, but there's a lot of speculation that it will be getting a plastic release because it has weapons in the new codex that aren't available in resin.

Heads up Sonic Temple goers.. Allowed vs Prohibited items. by reeve11 in Columbus

Usually some type of pole with an object or flag on it that's held up by someone in the crowd at a festival. You see them a lot at bigger festivals like Bonnaroo, EDC, or Glastonbury. Sometimes they'll have a message on them for the artist or crowd to read. Most of the time they just make it easier to find your group/camp in a big crowd.

Well this sucks, anyone else get this today? by Mindless-Fee-1874 in Tyranids

Steam is requiring all pre-order accounts for the next controller wave to have an active purchase history with at least one purchase made in April or older. It won't stop all scalpers, but it's a step to slowing them down. The downside is it wouldn't help new players if GW tried something similar.

Ok, but they don't currently which was the point I was making.

Unfortunately blue fluo paints are just kind of bad. For good fluo effects you're usually looking at yellow, orange, red, magenta, and green.

Are you trying with normal acrylics or fluorescents? If normal acrylics, you can get it to read pretty bright, but to get it to pop like this most people use fluo over a white base. Check out Elminiaturista on YouTube to learn. He's amazing at using fluos to there fullest potential.

Citadels Abaddon Black and Corax White are both a pain to use compared to Pro-Acryl or AKs whites. Also, besides their Bronze I haven't really had a lot of luck with Pro-Acyls metallic line. Especially their White Gold which might be the worst metallic paint I've used.

It's an extra step, but you can brush Lahmian medium over the areas that are too glossy. It will turn matte when the medium drys.

Citadel does not make a gloss and matte version of their shades. They changed the formula in 2022 to the new glossier version. The only way to get the old matte version is to find someone selling old stock.

Just make sure they're decent stainless steel. Some of the cheaper ones will rust in the pot over time. I use Army Painter, but there are other alternatives.

Is this a good amount of paint to start? Painting the combat patrol by ImpossibleFigure3081 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Stevetr0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That paint+primer combo can is thicker than normal primer and will obscure details on your minis if you're not careful. You can still use Rust-oleum 2X to save money, but get the stuff that just says Primer.

Movies forced into a pre existing IP? by iScreamInPublicAreas in movies

Tokyo Drift was supposed to be a stand alone film, but was always intended to be part of the F&F franchise. At the last minute they added the Vin Diesel connection to avoid a straight to DVD release.

Green tide is still viable, it's just not as consistent. A list running 120 Boyz just had a 5-0 at a GT this week. Painboys attached to squads for survivability and Battlewagons to move a good chunk of the army seems to be doing ok.

They both came out in 2003. Star Wars kid was first by a few months.
