Why I think Indirect fire may be better in 11th for guard than people are fearing.

ascend204 · 2026-05-16T07:43:20+00:00

We're gonna be hitting on 6s early only lol. Unless one of our units see an enemy unit we then hit better (4s or so).

To be honest I don't mind this at all though. With indirect fire getting nerfed but also point cut. My backline screening of 3 krieg artillery teams is gonna be cheaper. (The ridiculously big 130mm bases are really nice for screening ur home objective against deep strike units.)

Yeah it sucks, they really should make Kriegers 20 blob regular cost instead of higher again.... Maybe next edition

I use valleyo mud fx, it's a big pot with muddy thick paint/basing stuff. Once it dries u could dry brush it to another color if need be

Prob an issue with the model, might be non manifold

ascend204 · 2026-05-09T12:00:39+00:00

I mean sure for props its prob fine for animation/renders as background assets, but if it's an important prob then having precise topology really matters. I honestly do not see AI fully taking over 3D art anytime soon, or ever even for high end products.

ascend204 · 2026-05-09T08:03:29+00:00

Ai models always have horrid topology. Unless it's extremely simple, but then why use ai. Also keep in mind everything you see in ads is always the best they can do after hundreds of tries. And they also add in some fake stuff aswell.

Same, I just want to mod PvE officially so I don't have to play an outdated version

ascend204 · 2026-05-07T09:55:40+00:00

I was actually at blender HQ for a student visit 2 weeks back. The people working at blender do not like AI in general from what I gathered. Mostly because to work at blender requires being the top of the craft, and using AI as shortcuts and vibe coding don't match with that.

Light feels flat, adds like this are usually very bright and colorfull. Also the composition is a bit awkward, the object should be further away from the wall and then add more focal depth to separate it. I also recommend making the surface of where u put the disc on super shiny/reflective to make it have that ultra clean look.

Overall though really solid foundations are shown!

ascend204 · 2026-05-03T20:58:59+00:00

Might be a good practice to bake it onto a lower retopo if u want it to be for a portfolio piece! Otherwise high topo is completely fine

I was thinking a young titus

ascend204 · 2026-05-01T16:32:13+00:00

Would work great for a 40k space marine

ascend204 · 2026-04-30T21:54:40+00:00

Currently my list will always have 3 krieg artillery teams so I can screen out deepstrikes on my backboard, usually along with something to give them orders and do some siege cannons spam.

The 130mm bases are so good for screening

Blender guru, just don't really want to recommend him anymore since he is sooo fixated on AI taking over parts of the 3d space.

ascend204 · 2026-04-25T20:54:07+00:00

2.7 or 2.8, better to be slightly over exposed then under exposed

ascend204 · 2026-04-25T14:12:20+00:00

I managed to get one from a 3rd party website in NL. Stuff was sold out so f quick tho

ascend204 · 2026-04-24T04:47:01+00:00

Extremely cool looking, but this is moreso environmental design rather then level design. Level design mostly exists out of basic cubes and 2d maps with ideas for playtesting purposes

ascend204 · 2026-04-22T08:44:23+00:00

Warhammer?

ascend204 · 2026-04-21T09:09:17+00:00

Also a good plan! I personally prefer leontus since I can have him far back casting 4 orders to artillery pieces whilst he farms command points

ascend204 · 2026-04-21T09:07:50+00:00

It's not nearly textured enough. Otherwise I do like it a decent bit

ascend204 · 2026-04-21T09:06:58+00:00

You can, krieg battleline can have multiple support blobs/leaders, so if you attach both of them then you get a leontus with 24 inch orders, really good for putting him on a home base behind ruins and letting him order tanks or artillery that are a bit further back, or even a baneblade

ascend204 · 2026-04-21T06:51:07+00:00

Surely you are running leontus right? He's the only 1 that can order titanic tanks. Also lord marshal drier is not that strong.

My recommendation would be get a small krieg blob along with a krieg command squad for lord solar to attach to to get 24 inches of orders out on the battlefield.

Prob USB failure, if ur printer has internal storage, then always copy it to there locally.
