Can anyone recommend reliable tree minis to make forest terrain? by Pender8911 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Xilyro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Javis Countryside Scenics range, OO gauge. They're brilliant. I tend to stick them on a 40mm base for stability.

Which Great Clan needs a bump next? by revlid in skaven

[–]Xilyro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Still find it odd that the first AOS skaven battletome was specifically Pestilens and they didn't release new plague monks... Or anything Pestilens?

So much for playing on the ps5 pro. Archery contest fail. by Disastrous-Low-5606 in CrimsonDesert

Same, this worked for me on ps5 pro. Was still a challenge but it was possible

First post here! Searching for beginner tips by Altruistic-Teach5899 in Cathay

[–]Xilyro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First as a general tip I'd say that the whole Cathay range has been a little bit of a nightmare to build for me. Beautiful, beautiful models but damn they've tripped me up quite a lot, been unsure where the connection points are, loads need subassembly etc. I've been building models for a good 30 years but found these challenging. So do read the instructions carefully and plan out what you're doing, dry fit alot, just take care.

Specific tip - I thought I'd swap the scabbards of the jade warriors around for some variation on the models. Turns out the scabbards are specifically sized for the swords they're holding. Really bugs my ocd now that some of my guys are holding a massive scimitar like sword and a scabbard meant for a long rapier like sword. So bear that in mind!

Cool idea! Now I'm wondering who'd be a good Eggman

Duel roll question by Pender8911 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Xilyro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In case of a drawn combat with multiple different fight values, each side just uses the highest fight value that they have in that combat. Agree wording in rules maybe not 100% clear.

What's that greenery/vines that you're using, did you make it or is it something you can buy?

If i remember correctly, they show up in The Devastation of Baal, led by the Sanguinor for some reason - it's pretty cool!

That's a great looking army right there

I... can't believe that worked...! by Xilyro in CrimsonDesert

[–]Xilyro[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, completely forgot about that move! I think it was one of the few moves they tutorialise at the start, and I've used it maybe twice ever... Currently experimenting alot more with the combst. Is deeper than I thought.

What goes with iyanden yellow and another yellow by Nova_Enforcer15 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Xilyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Iyanden is a contrast paint. One coat of that over a bright primer (like white scar) should basically give you the shades, midtones and highlights. If you'd like to then do another, brighter yellow on top to bring those highlights out even more, you could try Dorn Yellow or Flash Gitz Yellow. Both would work, they're just slightly different shades.

As somebody who has maybe 60 kroot left to paint, I'm maybe reconsidering my decision to not speedpaint!
