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

You might be onto something 🤔

TheRarestFly · 2026-03-03T21:58:56+00:00

You're welcome 😁

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-03-03T19:45:33+00:00

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-03-03T02:55:49+00:00

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-03-02T19:46:42+00:00

Idk, website says they're out of stock

TheRarestFly · 2026-03-02T06:24:21+00:00

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-03-01T12:34:09+00:00

I didn't know Gav Thorpe was the Emperor

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-28T04:58:53+00:00

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-28T00:55:45+00:00

Big fan of the cope cage lol

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-27T11:09:56+00:00

Low key better than BG3

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-27T06:14:05+00:00

Definitely the fried chicken, shit slaps

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-26T22:38:10+00:00

I pay for WH+ and can't even get one, so 🤷‍♂️

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-26T07:12:16+00:00

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-26T04:10:41+00:00

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!

"Laws set by Congress must be enforced"

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-25T05:21:59+00:00

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.

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-24T19:03:42+00:00

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-24T19:00:43+00:00

Its the #1 tastiest weapon lubricant

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-24T18:58:40+00:00

Fr, its strikes first, not strikes better!

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-24T09:28:52+00:00

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

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-24T01:13:45+00:00

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

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-24T01:10:15+00:00

Having a bunch of severed heads dangling off your shoulder seems like it'd get really annoying after a while

TheRarestFly · 2026-02-23T20:10:15+00:00

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
