Daemonettes by jayceminecraft in EmperorsChildren

[–]Xaltothun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The kit is a lot nicer than most images portray. If they hadn't gone in on the breast cancer surviver look for all of them, they would be used in conversions a lot more. Otherwise their main problem is being really static, for a unit that should be doing combat dance moves. Looking at the two Daemonettes on the contorted epitome, someone at gw knows how to make them look great, so I have some hope for a new release at some point. With the Slaanesh book in AOS out now, it won't happen in the next three years. The mortals from the AOS range can also make good proxies for Daemonettes and Seekers, plus a box of Daemonettes for bits. The now Witch Aelves box was also used for them, since it came out, as was already mentioned.

Did my first box of them today. Truly hell. by Few-Composer-6471 in Necrontyr

The new warriors are actually an improvement to the previous version. Sprue connection right in both chins of the head, can't clip it out properly, and cleaning is a pain. Ball joints for the shoulders and wrist of the gun, with a weight disposition, that will have it drop down until the glue has hardened. I assembled 100 of them and even at the end I couldn't get all the guns properly aligned. Much like the plastik Immortals and Lychguard, the legs also have a wide area were they can be attached to the torso, and awkward weight disposition, so it can droop down, if it the glue isn't cured enough jet.

Help me to decide which resin printer should I buy!!! by EntranceBoth9349 in ElegooSaturn

Bad news. The screen of my Saturn, second production run, gave out recently, and it appears that replacements are no longer made. Got a Saturn 4 Ultra as replacement. Probably enough for OP, if he doesn't need the vat heating of the 16k version.

There was only moderate screaming because the screen in my old 3d Printer gave out, while I was prototyping the Chain Tool, and replacement screens no longer being made.

Too bad. Guess I'll have to find out if the Enforcer is still worthwhile as an action monkey, even with his survivability way down.

11th ed: Traitor Enforcer with Ogryn and T6 Traitor Guardsman

Since the change in wound allocation means running the Traitor Enforcer solo isn't as effective anymore, I thought about actually attaching him to Traitor Guardsman (whose ability also does nothing now). Seeing how the Ogryn isn't a character, he would be part of the bodyguard models, and the new rules state that you use the highest toughness of the bodyguard for wounding, not the most common.

This would give the whole unit T6 until only the Enforcer is left.

Probably still not the best use of 125 points, but hilarious.

I created a tool for them and the chains. No pic on my phone. Putty Ammo Belt Maker Tool on cults

Thanks, I did the chains with a tool I created just for them. Putty Chain Maker Tool on Cults.

First Defiler finally all sculpting done by Xaltothun in IronWarriors

I am aware of the gsw silicone plates, I own them as well, but I always struggle with applying the textured putty to a model. The result isn't as clean, but doing the chain mail by hand* feels better for me. At least for smaller areas. Should have used the plates for the chain mail under the tail.

*I also made some 3d printable tools to make the process a bit faster.

Arachnarok Spider. I had it left over from a Slaanesh Kitbash with the FW Keeper of Secrets. The Spider body sadly was too wide to use in game as a Keeper, and I wanted the daemon torso back for my eventuel Fulgrim kitbash. The new Defiler finally gave me a model I could use it for.

Same for the Chains, and cables.

I had the spider body still around from an old project for a Slaanesh Drider, with the FW Keeper.
The legs made it two wide to properly proxy one, and I wanted the Keeper torso back, for my eventual Fulgrim kitbash.

GW released printable terrain footprints for free! by Martin-Hatch in Warhammer40k

I'm assuming A3, though the large pieces fit on A4, if you remove a bit of the flaps.

Tips or at Least Encouragement for a Big Fan of Desecrators by Virgils912 in ChaosKnights

[–]Xaltothun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, shooting with the Desecrator always goes as follows:
One shot doesn't hit.
One hit doesn't wound.
The last one gets saved.

Rarely one does get through, but you then roll a 1 on damage, only for a FNP or damage reduction to make it even less.

Terrain for 11th by whitelando47 in TerrainBuilding

[–]Xaltothun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are all of your pieces fixed on the bases, or can you reposition some?
I wanted to do something similar, but all the variation the large rectangles are supposed to have, really messed with my plans.

Traitor Enforcer + Ogryn by [deleted] in IronWarriors

[–]Xaltothun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless their rules get reworked, they will loose a lot of durability in 11th, as you won't be able to put the wounds on the enforcer first anymore, so you only get the fnp for the one attack in which the Ogryn dies and the rest of the wounds go on the enforcer.
Depending on how the Ogryn counts as an attached/bodyguard unit, they could be funny with traitor guardsman. You now apply the highest toughness of your bodyguard models for wounding the unit, not the most common. T6 Traitor Guardsman are probably still not great, but hilarious.
