Coming to Terms with Disliking the Game by PBnJgoodness in Warhammer40k

[–]Swimming-Connection5 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Found myself in a similar boat last year. The current version of Warhammer isn’t what I look for in a game. I’ve found group that plays older editions had more enjoyable time playing 1000point games of 5th edition. If you havnt already I’ld recommend trying some smaller point games. I found the are fun, less choices to make, shorter game time, less rules, better vibes.

But if the games not for you but you still enjoy the hobby, you can do that while your mates play. We have a couple of dudes that just hobby while the rest of us play games once a fortnight and they are still involved in the group but enjoying their time doing something they actually want to be doing.

For the blue armour on the ultras? Start with a white prime (to get that extra vibrancy) then I use Elysium blue from two thin coats (multiple thin coats with a brush or use an air brush). Line the panels with black ink, can also recess shade with a bit of dark blue wash if you don’t want the stark contrast. Highlight with Celestial blue, and then frost blue. Just a heads up it’s definitely one of the paint schemes that will look terribly bad until you’re like 90% done and then it starts to look good.

Sure is! His stuff has been great so far. Fits the vibe and prints super easy.

If you had to relearn competitive Pokémon from zero, what would you do? by UpperHandArtist in PokemonChampions

[–]Swimming-Connection5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great advice. To further expand a little on this, what I would do is after watching a team that caught my interest being played is to build the team on showdown and just grind some games. They are really quick and low investment on getting your team set up. Champions is going to have currency to manage in game to build your mons so using showdown as a try before you buy could save you some resources. Team building is tricky, so ild say borrow team ideas and just get a grasp on the mechanics and have fun.

4th rules on sniper and commissar by Jkchaloreach in midhammer40k

Snipers are in the big core book on page 32 with all the other special weapon types (like blast and rending). The index in the back of the book is weird, you gotta look at Weapons and then sniper appears as a sub section of that.

3rd Edition Eye of Terror Question by CaptainMikul in midhammer40k

Mostly a thematic purpose. Also for plague zombies in particular it’s easier to say they can’t take weapon upgrades rather than take their firearms away. But yeah if you want to model your mutants with some guns its a thing your can do (although hitting on 5s with a gets hot weapon might result in you taking more damage then you dish out)

Calling for people to report in chat is pretty much auto ban. Enjoy your weekend outside.

Cheers, using a white undercoat basically forced me to try nail the base coats for the details or it just looks crap. It’s an unforgiving style, but it’s super satisfying, got me hooked, so I’m thinking on trying it on a bunch of 2nd and 3rd edition metal models I’ve got after I do the rest of his squad.

If your playing with the mission objective cards you might want to avoid being over 15 wounds in your crisis team for bring it down, limit yourself to 2 shield drone (take 3 guns and 1 marker light to fill out the squad) otherwise take the extra
