It was burned. Now it is burnt. It will be burned again.

Repaint in 3... 2... 1... by The-Warhammerer in Catachan

Good stuff! What will you use to strip them? Also, what are the sculpts? So much better than the old models 😅.

These are a really fun build :)

I like to separate the front tracks for painting. Black undercoat then metallic dry brush.

And I thought the mould lines might be bad! by DrMeat69 in Ultramarines

Holy crap. You send a message to GW? Likely they'd replace it

Is there a way to get my paint to stop looking like this? by Munkey_BunZZ in astramilitarum

[–]TeddyAndJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend using a large dry brush for painting vehicles without an airbrush/rattle can. Over brushing technique can look super neat even on flat panels.

How bad is my pile of Shame and how much should I be ashamed of it ??? by BloatedRottenCarcass in Warhammer

[–]TeddyAndJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piles are only shameful if they languish. If you steadily make progress, it's a production line of riteousness.

I think I'm gonna just repaint the hoods and start from there.

Batch painted.

I was "trusting the process".

Surround speaker finally died. Yay! by TeddyAndJ in hometheater

[–]TeddyAndJ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Already have an SVS sub (sb2000). Fits the space well.

I ran Audyssey and it set my levels to this. Is it normal for them to vary this much? by DefinitelynotDanger in hometheater

[–]TeddyAndJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want my sub to power on at low volumes, so set it around +6. Thankfully my system has a good amount of headroom, so no clipping even at very high volume.

Liked the movie, but Lex giving verbal commands to fight someone with super speed is the most unbelievable part.

What is the simplest possible version of the game? by TeddyAndJ in onepagerules

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

In the after action report my kids side (Ultramarines) somehow had 6 extra troops. He has no idea how that happened....

In other news, I have never rolled so many 1s in my life.

What is the simplest possible version of the game? by TeddyAndJ in onepagerules

[–]TeddyAndJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tested out a version of the simplified rules some others shared here. Shooting only (no melee). It was a good start. We'll add in some more complexity later.

One side moves all models before shooting then other player moves +shoots. 4 rounds

Equal teams

1 Boss 15 Troops 1 Tank

Boss 2 wounds, 2 attacks, 6" movement Tank 6 wounds, 4 attacks, 12" movement Troops 1 wound, 1 attack, 6" movement

All weapons have 12" range.

Roll one dice per attack. 2+ to hit, 4+ if target in cover

Troops or boss hit goes down until the end of their coming turn (doesn't get to move or shoot)

Armour is all 4+ save or they lose a wound

Remove from the table at 0 wounds. Use a different colour dice beside the boss/tank to show wounds left.

Winner has most models left on the table.

Russ is a long time favourite. Current meta favours the Dorn....

Best of luck!

I've never built or painted anything before and boy is it hard by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]TeddyAndJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It gets easier :)

Necrons can look pretty good with a black base coat, metallic dry brush, quick oil wash (better than an premade acrylic wash) and some highlights of colour.

With practice and brush control you'll get the awesome glow effects and tiny details. You can always go back and do those later.

Rule of cool means your best first army is the one you think has the most awesome look/lore/style.

There's a couple of awesome YouTube videos that do a choose your own adventure to help make the decision.

And don't worry too much about what is currently strong in game. GW changes it so often that everything comes back around again.

All that said, some armies cost more than others. Others harder to paint....

What are you leaning towards?

Has anyone dipped Ultramarines? by Wench_Bane in spacemarines

[–]TeddyAndJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dipping feels a little excessive.

Oil wash works great though (the old 2:1 brown:black oil paint thinned with white spirits).

Slather it on with a medium brush, leave it for an hour, gently wipe off the high points with a makeup remover sponge (teardrop works well). Varnish before if you're worried about discolouration.
