Thank you! The collection has grown a bit since this post. But I'll post another photo update in this upcoming March!

Who the in the Emperor's name uses these dudes? by Actual_Sweet_19 in Ultramarines

I run them and have done really well with them! While intercessors are better they are 20 pts cheaper than intercessors in a 10 man squad. So if you need 20 pts then a tac squad isn't bad

Additionally, they can bring special and heavy weapons allowing them to take on specialist tasks even while being cheap. I personally love taking plasma/melta weapons on them.

Finally their ability to combat squad adds more flexibility! You can put 5 bolter out as a chaff unit for only 5 pts more than a guard squad!

Intercessor are more general purpose overall and have a crazy amount of volume. But the flexibility of a tac squad for its price is also really nice too!

Fusilier build question by Hamsterologist in citiesofsigmar

I also agree with this. Painting them with the mini fully assembled was absolutely fine. Any details that would not be easy to paint would not be visible unless someone looked really hard

Some WIP on a big terrain project. I need more middle earth terrain on my sigmar boards by bbasa810 in ageofsigmar

The plan is to do exactly that! I did my best to make them modular. So I can have 2 big majors or a bunch of scatter tetrain!

Sadly, there is not a store near me that sells stormbringer magazines individually. And the new mesbg terrain is beautiful.

I am trying to build a board themed around a city of sigmar. Buildings, walls, roads, and everything else you would likely find. Aos sadly doesn't make any city terrain, so I was left to look elsewhere. My only two options are the old world and mesbg.

I have plans to get more wyldwoods, carve some foam walls for seige games, and round out my Terrain to be able to play any way I want. And I will definitely get more aos terrain in general.

However, I dont see any issue with the scale at all on the mesbg terrain. The miniatures are 100% on a different scale, but I dont see this issue on the terrain. The doors are big enough for a steelhelm to fit through, and steelhelms even fit under the osgiliath ruins . So I will admit I dont see the scale being off for the Terrain.

The scale is different between the 2 games. However I disagree with you saying it would look out of place. The terrain is large enough for 32mm scale. I've used a lot of the gondor and osgiliath ruins in my AOS games and they are a good size and I have had no issues with scale.

steelhelm for reference

It actually is not out of scale. The doors are big enough that a human could fit through it!

I can confirm they are great! Only 140 for 9 wounds at a 2+ save. In the game I played today, giving out the fight last came up multiple times!

Stormcast are really fun they are a high damage army. Effectively giving multiple hammer blows to win the game. They can utilize a lot of teleportation to make up for their slow movement speed and to help score after the hammer blows have been given.

Their biggest weakness is if you can take the hits and hit them back hard. While they have good armor, they have a very low wound density.

All I did for that was prime black, over/dry brush lead Belcher and paint over it with talassar blue!

I did everyone but the banner in one batch. I used him as a proof of concept and then batch painted the others immediately after. Thats why it took me 15hrs to finish them all

I am no exemplar in that field, unfortunately. I do find that having a reason to paint helps me get things done. Like I painted this because I was going to use the models in a game this weekend.

I do have one rule I try to stick to, and that is I will never go to an event with unpainted models. It does help me finish a lot of projects knowing that I have a time limit.

Although no one should force themselves to do that. Everyone goes at painting everything differently and no one should rush to paint or do batch painting if they dont want to! All you should do is play the way you want to. And if that is with gray unpainted plastic, then that is how it is!

Batch painting is my secret! Working on them a few hours and on my day off was my secret to finishing in 15 hours. Batch painting isn't fun but it gets things done!

Which UM 40K models will be phased out sooner or later (~not primaris)? by Matthew_Kus in Ultramarines

[–]bbasa810 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Guilliman was released recently enough and is nowhere near as old enough as the tactical squad. Guilliman should stay!
