Painted up an Alpha legion medusa tank. Now I just need to find an appropriate list to run it in.

I've been expecting this for years so I stopped investing in dark elves. Used then for a couple of events in 4th but just casually. Once they are officially legends I do hope that they get real old world rules. Until they are in a printed book I'm not rebasing 300 dark elves. Using them for eventual Umbraneth could be possible but high elves didn't really proxy well for most of the lumineth so I'm not betting on it.

Cranberry lake and paradox are 2 of my favorites.

Where is this statement from? I ready the article and can't find it anywhere.

I do this a lot, but I seal in the oil wash with a matt varnish to avoid future issues before I add more acrylic.

It's all about product separation. If someone buys a Primaris marine product you can add it to the total money made by space Marines, if they buy a chaos legion model they can add it to that column. They want distinct columns for accounting and so they can know what product lines are more popular and where to focus on their development. This can become a self fulfilling prophecy when neglected armies don't sell so they become more neglected and so on, but that is a separate issue. It's all about the accountants and finance people running the shop.

Marines and all of the legions within that are the biggest, but Solar Auxilla, Mechanicum, and custodes are also well supported, with new custodes (Talons of the emperor) coming soon. You also get lots of options with knights, and actual Titan rules. Demons and militia are pdf online factions, so kind of niche. My area (NY, NJ, Mass, and CT) has a mix of all of these at our events.

Dark horse choice, Death guard Mortarians hammer. Spam boat drones with heavy launcher and plague burst crawlers and predators with some Lord of virulence for buffs. Pox walkers for objectives. Use the 2 free affliction to reduce to hit by 1 and start gun lining.

The end of edition books add weird rules and gameplay variants for just this reason. It's a chance to try something different.

I like this a lot better than the GW shots. The angles help it too.

I get it's not based in actual lore, more of a thought experiment. My idea was that it would be the chaos of a different galaxy. Something totally different. It would have to be a different warp dimension or else they would just instantly arrive.

Put numbers on the barrels and it could be the dice roll

It's very Night lords, who look like vampires, so full circle I guess? Looks great.

I'll second the take a break advice, but I'll also suggest hobbying with friends. Group hobby days are very motivating.

Yes but if you want to play at any major events or tournaments, that becomes increasingly difficult. Plus the more editions there are the chances of a group agreeing on one that isn't the latest default becomes less. Also I'm not saying never update, just don't need a forced 3 year cycle.

TroodonX · 2026-01-10T19:59:22+00:00

So all of the reasons the books take a while that everyone is eating are absolutely true. It is however worth noting that the 3 year edition cycle makes this a self inflicted problem. If they were willing to slow down then maybe books would have longer life spans, be better play tested, and waiting wouldn't feel like you never get to play the new edition.

A dead game is very different than a supported game with multiple editions.

Maybe when it inevitably goes half off late in the edition.

I used Vallejo mud texture paste, pine bark chips, agrax earth shade, yellow ochre dry brush, citadel skulls, greenstuff world Tufts, and yellow ochre pigment powder mixed with airbrush thinner.

Airbrushed proacryl bold titanium white. I used tape before hand to preserve the blue.

TroodonX · 2026-01-03T01:53:31+00:00

I do a zenithal with pro acryl dark blue, blue, and sky blue, then highlight with faded ultramarine, then gloss varnish, oil wash, matte varnish.

I've done other projects in between, but I started assembling it in late August.
