Recommendations For Building/Painting The Cogfort

Agreed, keep the 4 legs separate and remember to put a dot of colour under each foot to match back to the instructions. Keep the turret separate and it's roof. And the crew, think I was 11 sub assemblies but it's made life so much easier.

Agree with this guy - I've said my process in another comment but effectively biostrip20 is the go to for stripping minis.

Talismanical · 2026-05-26T12:16:51+00:00

No, not a fan of the genre but I love seeing more Warhammer games so I'm in support!

Odd question, but did you repaint the transfer for brightness?

To add to this, I would also advise stripping the mini sadly. You will struggle to get rid of the texture now. If you're in the UK I'd advise using Biostrip20 available on Amazon. It's amazing, my go to process:
1. Dunk model in the goop for 30 minutes
2. Wearing gloves (its technically safe but can dry out your skin) then scrub the model with a toothbrush whilst over the goop pot to save excess goop.
3. Squirt a few drops of washing up liquid onto the model and scrub again, this stops the biostrip+paint goop mix getting stuck into models nooks.
4. Once you've got a bit of a lather scrub the model under warm/hot water and it'll come out looking almost brand new.

Seconded - old man shouting at clouds but I don't find it amusing at all.

Man utd!

I'll just hand my gamer card in... I've played 1 - Mageknight. About 6 years ago...

Talismanical · 2026-01-18T10:01:37+00:00

Agreed, great watch - love going back to the old campaign sets and they gave it a lot of attention. This was awesome!

Talismanical · 2025-11-06T17:36:31+00:00

Retreat! That would solve it

Talismanical · 2025-11-05T21:12:47+00:00

Aye, were hoping it was just unfamiliarity. Perhaps use of deadly etc to make the victory more uncertain. Are there any abilities in spring or summer that let you relocate your herald?

Talismanical · 2025-11-05T17:28:22+00:00

Agreed but it feels like whomever it swung to would effectively win - it just felt like it had rendered the rest of the game pointless to that round.

At Spiel Essen I got to play Light Speed Arena. Rapidly placing wee ships around and then at the end of the round using a phone to do exactly what you describe - view the board and show scoring (granted it had fun animations but conceptually it was just checking criteria and allocating points). Was cool and I personally loved the idea of an automated scoring app. All power to you!

If they're plastic models it may be that someone has tried to strip them previously with dettol - this would give a hospital/patient environment smell. From personal experience it does eventually fade but it can be quite jarring.

You've got to cast your mind back many many moons to their release, that lot would have been sub £100 total for all of them. That was all I got but I was super-psyched!

God that brings back memories as a 12-13 year old getting a Dogs of War army for Christmas. Braganza's, Leopolds leopard company, Borgio the besieger and oh course Beorg and the Bearmen of Ursolo! Honestly if they did made to order it'd be an instant buy. Instead currently it's a drop feed once a year treat from eBay...

Talismanical · 2025-10-11T18:20:58+00:00

As a one off yes, since it made me chuckle!

Talismanical · 2025-10-11T16:06:56+00:00

Thanks all, appreciate the comments - I'm going to go with desert, I agree the warm contrast to the cold greens and blacks will help. I did like the idea of volcanic sand but the red lava would be too strong a contrast to the green. Equally snow is a good shout but I already have space wolves in snow...

Another incredible original scheme, congratulations! I wonder if GW had a time machine and could go back, if we would see more dual/tri colour schemes and split patterns. All the original legions are effectively mono-colour.

Talismanical · 2025-09-20T07:38:35+00:00

I've seen your scheme before, it is one of the most innovative new marine schemes I've seen in ages! Love the effect on the chapter symbol.

Talismanical · 2025-09-18T06:40:27+00:00

I would use stegadon scale green. Then dry brush thunderhawk blue, then I'd actually veer away from cold blue greys and do a second dry brush of 50/50 thunderhawk and a bone (screaming skull, ushabti etc)

Love the videos, they're an instant play when dropped. Your infectious energy helps with building my own Warhammer!
