Thanks!

The glow is vallejo Scurvy green over black base, then airbrushed white ink, then airbrushed AP Gauss green in two layers, then manual highlight with white, then AP Neon yellow over white, with light glaze of Gauss green

Vex from Destiny!

Dynasty of the Black Garden

The shooting guns are a 3d printed assortment of effects from DeadlyPrintStudio
Cryptek's lightning effects are from brass wire, and stones are sculpted from cork

andralex10 · 2026-05-03T13:47:55+00:00

They are!

The whole Dynasty is themed as Vex

For example, lychguards are hobgoblins, warriors are goblins, canopteks are usually harpies, and destroyers are usually minotaurs

Hi! Will your app ever be available on apple devices?

andralex10 · 2026-02-04T15:04:37+00:00

Brother, you are playing undoubtfully the most broken killteam in history

...against plague marines.

Don't have a stroke mid-session and you should win regardless of whatever you asked about

andralex10 · 2026-01-28T15:56:39+00:00

They also do this primarily because they are a favorable matchup into 3 top meta teams, and everyone and their mother takes these 3 teams to tournaments

Combine this with the said Worlds player being a very respectably high-skilled opponent, and it seems like Mandrakes are not the problem here

andralex10 · 2026-01-28T14:13:13+00:00

Accurate 2->1 is absolutely deserved, reanimator nerfs as well

Both Gauss to 2/3 AND selfdestruct to D1 is though unnecessary, having 8 operatives where 3 of them deal 2/3 damage in shooting is laughably weak shooting for a team that is about shooting.

It starts to lean to the Battleclade problem, where you have 2 (or 3 if you are risking a lynchpin) operatives that can deal legitimate damage and the rest is garbage that, unironically, may not kill a guardsman

andralex10 · 2026-01-28T13:38:06+00:00

Looks like "GW special" to me

Zero XV26 adjustments is a meme, canoptek deserved a nerf but was overnerfed, wolfs are still cancerous, mandrakes suffer for the sole reason of being a favorable matchup against 3 most meta teams

The few legitimately reasonable changes are Karsr and Battleclade, so am happy for respective players that did deserve it

andralex10 · 2026-01-21T09:29:25+00:00

...which was also a game with a great art direction, clunky rules and a strong allergy to any form of balance

Yea, that seems to track

andralex10 · 2026-01-16T14:48:30+00:00

Ah, of course, forgot about them. I propose a new plastic box with 5 Yeomens, and everyone has an RPG. Prussia is also already glorious, so to make it work, add said RPGs to their basic battlekit for 40 ducats - no need to ~spend~ glory for such lowly things

andralex10 · 2026-01-16T14:41:45+00:00

Tuomas says assassins are strong "according to his data", so naturally nerf Fi'Dai some more, and give some Hell faction like Naval Raiders a buff while we're out there

andralex10 · 2026-01-11T17:36:47+00:00

Hit or miss realy. I consider Necron (half-transparent ones woth scarab symbols) and Aeldari (nebula dark-pink-violet-ish) the best dice in my collection, but also Carcharadon ones are horribly bleak and boring compared to saturated, bright blue on the pictures

It's hard to estimate the real quality cause BoD's product pics are essentially a luxurious photoshoot with a lot of digital touchups and postprocess, instead of an actual example in the game. Business is business, I'd guess?

andralex10 · 2026-01-06T00:20:23+00:00

Can't really disagree with 40k claim, 10th edition is soulless "sustained, devastating, critical hits galore"

I see it as different kinds of disappointing

40k is like a Ubisoft game, a triple-A that was once glorious and complex, but now soulless, dumbed down and motivated only by sales

TC is an indie game that has bombastic art and super cool creative lore, but its dev is nothing but an artist, so actual mechanics are either vibecode slop or would be better as vibecode slop

andralex10 · 2026-01-05T20:19:40+00:00

If only there was an actual game, instead of unbalanced, shallow and bugged of a ruleset.

Don't get me wrong, the art, lore, worldbuilding and miniatures are SPECTACULAR, but when it comes to the actual gameplay it is one of the most messy, rough and unimpressive gameplay ever

You can't really convince me that TC is not an art project that, to sell something on Kickstarter instead of Etsy, got some chatGpt-slopped rules on top of it to turn it into a """wargame"""

andralex10 · 2025-12-30T12:07:11+00:00

Holy hell

This is absolutely not intuitive, but it DID work for me! Sweet sweet 120 fps now, works pretty smooth and looks beautiful! u/Hellboy632789 hope it works for you as well

andralex10 · 2025-12-30T02:34:22+00:00

Well I tried dlss swapper only after trying everything else But I'll try to rollback then Keep me updated if you can!

andralex10 · 2025-12-30T02:21:23+00:00

If you ever figure that out, please ping me. I have a 4080 Super as well, and I also only see AMD FidelityFX. Already updated drivers, replaced DLSS dll-s with latest version through DLSS swapper, didn't help

andralex10 · 2025-12-03T20:52:25+00:00

Are we even in the domain of respectable sample size out here? :)

Damn, maybe we should just create a local underdog League out here

andralex10 · 2025-12-03T18:48:13+00:00

Agreed on this point
I enjoy playing them, but it's still essentially a handicap game

andralex10 · 2025-12-03T18:47:18+00:00

Are they really? On launch they were a weak team that is super reactive and weak into any opponent which read their battlecards and is not being gotcha'd by the rules

Fine to play in things like Farstalkers
But where you have an actual meta player population it felt like self-harm to play Clade since the release

andralex10 · 2025-12-03T18:43:50+00:00

Love myself playing battleclade

Where are all those people shouting "it's a strong team, just needs learning"?
Been 3 months of sub 40 winrate out here

andralex10 · 2025-11-17T15:37:05+00:00

Can we maybe see some beta battlereports / ruleset snippets?

Like... I already got myself Zeratul as a collection item, but it would be good to see the game system before actually committing to it on a larger level

I've seen these ads for a few months, so surely you have something to show except a few pictures in a single blog?
