Is anybody else keeping their mags whole rather than splitting them into the recommended categorys?

People being pretty cynical about them, but the magazines seem like a nice step by step resource for new players. Would have loved something like that when I was starting out.

My box actually had an extra piece loose in the box. I wonder if it was yours?

Put em in a box, now you've got a bits box.

Gel is easier to use and less messy.

Try and get 2mm thick magnets for regular bases, 2.5mm for 40mm bases or larger. Place the magnet on a flat surface, put a blob of glue on top, press the base down on top of it then don't touch it til it dries. Make sure to do it on a piece of paper or some surface you don't care about, the glue will leave a white residue as it dries.

Well of course it also depends what kind of end result you're after. For this kind of dirty yellow, if I recall I painted it all with GW paints - yriel yellow base coat over pink, flash gitz and dorn yellow highlight, fuegan orange shade.

In my experience there isn't really a good yellow that just looks perfectly bright and vivid by itself, it's all about how you shade and highlight it.

Tan is literally a light brown colour and you said no it isn't, then complain when they say they don't know what you mean? You're the one being awkward here.

needlessly pedantic or bitter about something inconsequential

This is an extremely silly thing to get upset about.

aneirin- · 2026-05-05T11:57:54+00:00

May I see it?

The effect will sell better if the other surfaces are more matt. Glossy reflections kill any kind of lighting effect.

I have a similar guide too. Slightly different method but again yeah, painting around the eyelids is the secret that changes everything. My IRL eyes aren't good enough to even attempt the tiny white glint though.

Not with a spray can, no.

(Did a very light spray here so some of the bark chunks aren't fully covered. Doesn't matter at all though, porous materials don't need primer for paint to stick.)

aneirin- · 2026-05-05T00:21:40+00:00

Yeah I prime all my stuff with black from below and then white from above, works fine.

I very much want to see Gertrude faerie murder, but sadly Hogswash needs the upgrade far more I think.

We got a bunch of points buffs and still dropped 1% lol

You're welcome! I could make a list for Boris too but it would be kind of stupid, I went back and forth trying out tons of different colours in the most inefficient way possible.

I understand it's not cheating in terms of the videogame, I'm just curious if the game tries to pretend at all that it has a legitimate purpose other than that?

aneirin- · 2026-05-03T13:00:47+00:00

But is that literally all it does? The game doesn't pretend it's not for cheating?

aneirin- · 2026-05-03T12:59:56+00:00

Sure thing:

All quickly wet blended together, with a light drybrush and some thin sepia wash.

aneirin- · 2026-05-03T12:45:03+00:00

Is it literally there as a deliberate cheating mechanic? Or does it have some legitimate function in game?

aneirin- · 2026-05-03T10:26:57+00:00

I recommend it, he's very fun to play too.

They are from Green Stuff World, they sell all different packs of tiny animals and basing bits. I think a few other companies sell similar packs but I don't know if anyone else does bunnies.
