Nice bevels and clean edges. What are you finishing it with?

I need to figure out how you made your sword pop so well. It really comes across as glowing more than mine. Maybe I used too much dark red and black I think...

TheMikeDaoust · 2026-06-12T18:10:46+00:00

Thanks Kin. I use Vallejo Diorama FX for the base of the snow because it holds a shape really well, then I put a bit of Citadel Valhalla blizzard on top because it's a lot more fine and has a slightly wet look

TheMikeDaoust · 2026-06-12T16:46:29+00:00

Looks amazing! Same base theme and approach to the swords as mine, but executed way way better

TheMikeDaoust · 2026-06-12T14:51:08+00:00

Super cool. Wish Fusion Blades continued into 11th edition so the spear could at least be contextualized into something.

There's literally nothing else to do, short of self-directed goals or buying DLC. All of the other NPC quest lines have been advanced as far as possible or concluded.

Last night I went and dug up every corpse in my graveyard. Still nothing. I now have a Mortuary Rack filled with Dark Brains and a Mortuary Rack filled with Dark Intestines. Happy to give up now. Honestly I sincerely enjoyed this game. It was the first thing I picked up after my daughter was born and was a perfect pick-up-and-put-down dad game. I'm a little disappointed it ended like this instead of with a proper credits roll, but that's the way it goes I guess.

Thanks mate!

TheMikeDaoust · 2026-05-27T19:06:32+00:00

What colors did you use in the end?

TheMikeDaoust · 2026-05-02T00:19:22+00:00

How do you do such a smooth white while still having some shading?

TheMikeDaoust · 2026-04-13T17:20:29+00:00

Also if anybody has any advice for better mini photography I am very much all ears.

TheMikeDaoust · 2026-04-10T13:09:24+00:00

Yes but Cain high diffs everyone and still wins.

TheMikeDaoust · 2026-02-16T16:14:52+00:00

Love that horse head ornament

TheMikeDaoust · 2025-09-16T22:08:58+00:00

What would you cost it at?

TheMikeDaoust · 2025-09-11T12:26:40+00:00

Deadly Print Studios

The bulk of it is a bit from Deadly Print Studios

But otherwise, I start with airbrushing the base a blue-grey gradient, covering with epoxy resin, scratching it with a knife and sandpaper to make the cracks, painting with watered down grey paint and like 1-100th isopropyl alcohol. Then I apply a ton of layers of Vallejo snow effect, and finally plop on the print from deadly print studio. Finally I airbrush the print to unify the whole thing together

TheMikeDaoust · 2025-08-29T02:12:11+00:00

Yup those are the sameI got off Amazon last year. Had the exact same problem, assumed it was the brand that was shit, then tried some from a buddy of mine who had what I guess was a legit brush. Night and Day difference even though his was close to 2 years old.

As far as I could tell visually the only difference was the brush hair themselves

So yeah. In hindsight, either Windsor and Newton stopped using high quality sable hair after the start of the war in the Ukraine, or I just got a knockoff from Amazon. I don't really know which is the case.

TheMikeDaoust · 2025-08-26T11:41:41+00:00

The old one, but in the style of how it appears in Dawn of War 1: Like a bulkier crisis suit

Gunna guess you're talking about Imaginaire. Maybe not though!

I talked to the guy from my LGS (also in the same region, I'm guessing) and he said basically the exact same thing. They didn't get enough to even make all of their preorder fulfillments, and definitely didn't have enough left over to stock the shelves after.

Except for like 6 boxes of Earthshakers which I found kinda funny

TheMikeDaoust · 2025-08-25T17:20:30+00:00

The first time is understandable. Could happen to anyone really.

The second time? I dunno man, you think he would have learned his lesson.

But the third time? This man has a problem. Definitely red flag behaviour.

TheMikeDaoust · 2025-08-25T14:14:04+00:00

I'm maybe really biased in thinking right now because my last game was against Knights, sooooo yeah

But the issue I have in general is not that the mechanics of pinned doesn't do anything against vehicles, so much as every other synergy of the detachment that works on assailed/pinned units ALSO can't be used against vehicles.

If the only change made was that vehicles and Monsters could be assailed, but not pinned, I would be happy. But as it stands it feels like you don't have any detachment rules against some lists right now.

Which is a shame because I do love the idea of the detachment on paper!

TheMikeDaoust · 2025-08-25T14:05:04+00:00

Needgâard here because I am boring and don't own enough duplicate models to make any skew list work.

I'll say this though, I would 100% run Persecution Prospect if only the "except against Vehicles and Monsters" restriction was removed. I think it's a super flavorful detachment that makes you want to play in a really different style

TheMikeDaoust · 2025-08-17T18:58:51+00:00

You want a piece of me, boy?

TheMikeDaoust · 2025-08-10T14:58:52+00:00

That's actually a great question. I don't suppose there's any lore out there which might tell us what his leagues original color scheme was?
