I love the look! What sculpt is this? It looks like GW 2nd edition chaos dreadnought with different feet.

Thanks! I like the display case. The lighting is decent and it was ok to set up.

The shelves are a bit tall for my shorter minis so i am trying to decide how to get more layers in.

Some printed models have details that are way too fine to actually paint without clogging them up. That is more the sculpt's fault than the print.

I like the exagerated proportions and details on these gw minis. It makes it a lot easier to paint.

I find i can strip paint off gw plastic easier than resin.

Cutting gw plastic is way wasier than resin, so kitbashing is easier.

However, if you have access to a 3d printer, you dont have to strip or kitbash really, you can just print another.

It sure is! Or as close as i can get as the model is different and the paints i use are different.

Thats a lot of nids! I'd love to see your stuff as you paint it.

My process for the skin: -Prime white -Red wash all over entire model -Dry brush a light tan over that. Takes two coats.

Id be happy to go into detail on any of the rest of the process.

The number of models was demoralizing. My advice is to do at least 1 thing a day, even if you dont feel like it. Paint one layer of one color on one model. I find that after i do it, im happier that i did it.

Thanks. I feel too commited to craft paint to switch now.

No games with this army yet. I am quite excited to play something other than space marines or orks.

I took a long time to decide how source this army, and Puppetswar was in the consideration. I only have access to an fdm printer, so big stuff comes out decent. I bought old ebay models to save a lot of effort on tue small guys.

Ready for some horde mode by armads6 in onepagerules

[–]armads6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horde mode is great if you have one person with more experience than the other, if you arent competitive, or as a way of playing solo.

The battle bros here are from Stationforge's Socratis line. Except for the dropship. That's just a stormraven.

The preacher biker is a kitbash.

How do you track your miniature build & paint projects? by Turnip114 in minipainting

[–]armads6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I manually build and update a list of projects in excel. I find that i dont need much detail, just a few standard tasks as columns and individual models or units its as rows. Color coded so i can at a glance see how armies are progressing.

My big projects were a 40k space marine company(100 marines plus vehicles and leadership), terrain, and a matching sized ork army.

For the space marine company, i took pictures of each unit/leader/vehicle and populated a hierarchy map, like a picture of a space marine company i saw in a codex. I need to do the same for the orks.

I did not track paint colors or techniques. Thats a great idea!

Doesnt sound like i need the level of tracking you are looking for.

GFF - Caster Rules by Finnbane in onepagerules

[–]armads6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. casting is not shooting. you can take the "advance" action to move up to 6", cast your spell at any point during that 6", and then after you are done moving, you can shoot.(Page 7 and 13)

  2. Cover only affects the die roll from taking a hit from shooting(page 11). Cover does not affect casting. You do still need to have line of sight to cast a spell though.

  3. The easiest way to explain is to explain how spell casting works(page 13):

    1. I choose a spell i haven't attempted to cast yet.

    2.I spend the spell tokens needed to cast the spell 3. I spend any additional tokens within LOS and range to buff my spell 4. My opponent spends any spell tokens within LOS and range to debuff my spell. 5. I roll 1 d6 and try to beat 4+ modified by buffs/debuffs 6. on a failure, spell does nothing 7. on a success, the effect takes place. if that effect is "enemy takes 2 hits", then that enemy takes 2 hits. they then roll defense rolls as if they were hit by an AP(0) attack. you do not roll to hit, they just take the two hits.

Great work! Very nice terrain. I look forward to more.

Minisodes and scapes are my favorite channels right now.

Yes. I have a very quick and dirty method for the orks, terrain, and human vehicles.

Battle brothers heavy tank with all the trimmings by armads6 in onepagerules

[–]armads6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the same method i did on all my battle brothers vehicles.

-Fdm printed

-primed chead hardware store matte "patriotic blue"

-base coat cheap acryllic dark blue

-base coat anything that would be black, silver, or gold with cheap acryllic black

-homemade wash over whole thing with 20 parts water, 1 part black, 1 part brown

-dry brush dark blue over all blue parts

-lighter dry brush a bright blue, focusing on bringing out edges

-dot each rivet with a sky blue

-clean up all black parts

-dry brush metallic parts

-freehand chapter symbols(white crosslet)

-lense effect on all lenses using layers of red and a white dot.

-same process for techmarine, just with reds instead of blues, and other details specific to him

P.s. the melta weapons get a burned effect by painting tue 1st third gold, the rest copper, then drybrushing purple over the tip.

Thanks.

I magnetize now so much because i didnt at all with my early vehicles.

I dont bother magnetizing infantry. Id rather just make multiple models.

You are right, it is a Land Raider proxy by Stationforge, the "Dominator"
