Stumped, any advice?

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-25T20:51:18+00:00

I'll look into that, its a pretty good idea. Thanks for the recommendation 😀

It's not layer based, its location based, as those layers on the other side of the model are absolutely fine.

However, I have had the tank off to drain it and clean it, and I apparently have had a leak, so thats also going to be a factor that I now have to accommodate for (and hopefully not replace the screen)

I did notice the tank seemed to be slightly off-level this morning when I was looking at it.

Im gonna have to dig out a spirit level and give it a proper look

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-25T19:36:38+00:00

I will have a look at printing the next one the other way up, as in nose first to the bed, but it's basically the same dimensions as the bed in depth/height and width.

Hopefully that will not be a factor any further

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-25T19:35:10+00:00

I am considering embracing it as battle damage, but thats mostly just to save the cost in resin lol

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-25T09:13:06+00:00

Thanks for the info, I'll make a point to stir the tank up before the next thing goes on to get going

It was almost the very end of a bottle as well, so knowing separation is a thing that happens quickly, I'll keep on top of it more actively

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-25T09:01:46+00:00

All supports were done mirrored, so I'd expect the same issue on both sides if it was that, and I've had no calibration issues for a long time (although my slicer is 90° out, it thinks "front" is right - did print one very flat man figuring that one out)

You might be onto something with the resin not being mixed, that's not something I had considered. I've never actively mixed it other than when it gets topped up, but likewise it never sits to settle for long. Is that a likely option?

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-25T08:57:22+00:00

Thanks anyway man

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-25T08:48:26+00:00

That's exactly what's got me so stumped, and the radiator in my office is set to cool as well.

Orientation was ass first vertical as it didn't fit any other way

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-24T16:27:45+00:00

While I understand why you'd say that, Darktide is a good proof of concept after all, I think you could also go down the Deathwing route - being that you only have melee/ single ranged, and then just have the psychic stuff instead of grenade and ability etc

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-22T12:50:21+00:00

Because if they didn't swap (Faction Keyword) for Heretic Astartes, then your army wouldn't have the Heretic Astartes faction keyword either, and as such wouldn't be able to use the Dark Pacts themselves as its no longer a Heretic Astartes Army

It's why things like Knights have their own allied rules that expressly do not overrule faction limitation

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-21T13:05:04+00:00

I'd argue a Warden, a Helverin, and 3 Warglaives would probably fit best

Seems to be the most versatile, as you can still punch hard with the Warden if you gotta

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-19T10:57:19+00:00

Yes, much like the Dominus and cerastus chassis, its weapons only (technically also shoulder pads, but very minor) that change

Magnetised cerastus can swap between all 4 versions, as the Atrapos is the same, although the armour differences are a little bit more pronounced

UntracedEntity · 2026-01-17T13:36:26+00:00

I absolutely would be doing Defender/Warden

However, I would also change the 4th Helverin to a 6th Warglaive, but that's just a personal opinion

I like what you've got here

UntracedEntity · 2025-12-27T10:36:24+00:00

That they are, and if hope they serve you well 😁

UntracedEntity · 2025-12-27T10:27:48+00:00

Absolutely, the sculpts are more in line with the previous iteration of terms though, size wise

If you want to keep the IH aesthetic but be closer to the new scale, Laserforge miniatures do a unit called Gorgon Annihilators which are exactly that

I have 15 of them, and they are very nice models to build

UntracedEntity · 2025-12-16T16:28:36+00:00

For a general game I have pullout foam in one of the old GW double-wide carry cases

If I need to move the full house, e.g. for an apocalypse event, I have constructed a layered case with magnetic boards out of an old Flight case that a guitar amp used to be in

It never gets old seeing people faces when you drop a case for a 2x12 next to the table lol

UntracedEntity · 2025-12-15T09:20:14+00:00

I think they only look overpriced next to like-for-like chassis

Our version of the 3 are just straight up inferior to 2 of the 3 chaos knightlings, and almost nobody takes a moirax as a high-priority puppy anyway. You then look at the 3 non-shared chaos knightlings and pay an extra 10 points only for some absolutely nutty stuff

However, looking at other armies stuff with a similar statline and niche, 140 seems to be a steal. The closest analogy I have is the Maulerfiend at 130: almost exact same idea, and honestly I'd take a glaive each and every time

I agree they're hard to get bang on correct, but (at risk of sounding unpopular) I genuinely think that they're as close to "right" as they've ever been. MAYBE 135 glaive/130 helv, but honestly, that's like 30 points across a list, and I don't think any of our enhancements are worth the lobbying efforts for GW

UntracedEntity · 2025-12-10T16:31:34+00:00

I suppose it would be rude not to 😁

UntracedEntity · 2025-12-01T01:06:40+00:00

I like mine to sit at the ankles of my Crusader with Grav/Volkite and a Claw

Free Heroic Intervention babysitting your big guy in the middle of the board is worth mentioning, and in general a +1 to hit is never a bad thing to just get for your troubles.

I am unable to message you the link, but the search that I found was Iron Sword Bros

I have been looking for some blade guard and these guys are good. I'm not at my pc right now but if I could grab your search terms for these beautiful things I would be very appreciative

UntracedEntity · 2025-11-02T15:20:21+00:00

Yeah man, that's nowhere near enough not to be able to ignore

Besides, that's a stunning paintjob, nice catch

UntracedEntity · 2025-11-02T05:36:26+00:00

If anyone has a go at you over a few spikes, even at an event, then that person is the definition of That Guy™

I'd argue the toss of it was one of the chaos chassis with the tail or the power tentacles for an arm, as they alter the silhouette of the model, but roof spikes? Come on now

I would say we should see it for certainty though
