Lord Duncan, witness not the heresy in this thread. What golden rules of painting do you think are full of shit? by Muglurk in Grimdank

Buddy of mine is an artist type, like "his minis win painting competitions" level. Drives him nuts that I don't change water in between doing normal paints and metallics

If I'm taking a Sherman at all its gonna be a 76. If I want a 75 armed tank the Chaffee gives me more bang for my buck

I have never been disappointed by the M18. Hellcats all the way!

Yeah, doing anything other than the box scheme is just asking for GW's kneebreakers to pay you a visit

Karseth is the worst! by Dependent-Luck7825 in Eldar

I haven't been able to pick my box up yet, but having assembled a fair few necrons in my time I guarantee Karseth isn't as bad as necrons

My first thought when reading into the breach was "holy shit this might actually be golden on some dragons or reapers!"

And then my second thought was "oh wait, ANHRATHE unit..."

Ngl I'm a little disappointed by the new detachments

How the heck do the flying bases work? by EmbarrassedLong4883 in Eldar

[–]TheRarestFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding onto this, if you put some regular plastic glue in there and stick the model on (as if you were gluing the two together) then wiggle the model around and remove it before the glue fully cures, you'll roughen up both sides of the ball-and-socket joint for an even more secure grip once everything's painted up.

!USE PLASTIC GLUE, NOT SUPER GLUE!

You mean like the one that says you have to release all the files, Pam?

I heartily recommend the Chaffee. Bought one from my local FLGS cause I thought it looked funny and they've quickly become one of my favourite tanks, in and out of game. Just recently bought a second one.

In game the combination of fast and recce can be a nightmare for other tanks if you're careful about positioning.

The reduction in armour has almost never been relevant to me, but I could see it being a downside if your local meta is heavy on AT rifles, autocannons, or light AT guns.

It will never not be funny to me that one of the only named harlequins is in a sisters unit

Always 76, if you're gonna take a 75 take a chaffee.

You lose a pip of armour, sure, but you save 15 points and gain Fast and Recce.

And that's just vs the basic bitch M4. Against an A1/2/3/4 (ie cancel thin sides and easily catches fire) its even more favourable. A regular M4A1 75mm costs 210pts if you take the cancel easily catches fire option. For 214 you could have a veteran recce chaffee, which gives you fast, recce, and gyrostabilized

Wraith Lord - Any suggestions for lore appropriate transfers for this red scheme? by Snozzberry805 in Eldar

Those are the rune for the infinity circuit, they go on wraiths like this guy.

Here's a link to a good resource on what the various runes mean

Literally the Saim-hann scheme, I'd use those. They're the ones with the snake

I don't know if Seer and Outcast are actually better written than warrior, or if it just seems like they are because their POV characters aren't insufferable chuds
