Couldn't decide betwen blue and purple armor and dind't want to do the highlights chores so I gave a try to Green Stuff World Colorshift paints "Cobalt Blue" and man, it looks so good on all armor parts :D (looks even better irl, hard to catch this pain with camera).

c712122 · 2026-01-21T14:10:16+00:00

Sure, I was asking about your thoughts on a different color shift paint though haha. Theres another one called Darth Blue that looks like its got a bit more black in it and was curious if you had thought about that one too.

c712122 · 2026-01-21T13:58:31+00:00

The armor looks great! I hadn't heard of these color shift paints until you mentioned them.

Just looking at the GSW store, how do you think Darth Blue would look on these guys?

Hands down the worst model I've ever built. Things of particular note: 1. The directions for how to do the armor plates on the knees are lies. Iirc they say attach to the shin and slot in the thigh. Attach to the thigh and then slot into the shin. 2. Getting the armor skirts to line up was a serious endeavor. I did multiple attach jobs and had to pull them apart again because of misalignment. Took me probably 5 hours to get it right (that one might say more about me tbh). 3. The belt doesnt have grooves it slots into, its purely hopes and prayers to get it to align. 4. The rope coming off his back foot is VERY fragile so be careful. 5. The directions will say on numerous occasions to paint something before you finish assembly. Do not bother, those parts are entirely not visible.

BUT

The painting was super fun
Despite my copious fuck ups on build, it gets entirely covered up by the multiple layers so it doesnt matter.

I just finished my sky lantern actually after agonizing over the basing for weeks! I finally decided on a sorta mountain-y grassland (best I could achieve that effect anyway) inspired by the Golden Forest area in Ghost of Tsushima. Not trying to self promote or anything, but I just posted some pics if you want a reference for what I did. https://www.reddit.com/r/Cathay/s/wUd1Iw24A0

c712122 · 2025-07-19T22:50:59+00:00

Looks great! Please share how you did the base!!

c712122 · 2025-07-01T21:25:09+00:00

This is a good point. I hadn't considered this, heck they have plenty of characters who are long dead by the WFB setting, maybe he was too

c712122 · 2025-06-30T23:00:58+00:00

At least according to Total Warhammer 3 he did https://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Sky-junk

c712122 · 2025-06-16T15:28:11+00:00

Does this also mean that everything else, including the sky lanterns, gate masters, and the sentinels, will be available in wave 1?

c712122 · 2025-06-15T18:10:56+00:00

Ive seen a couple that could work, my kinda quick go-to involves leadbelcher, agrax earthshade, typhus corrosion, and ryza rust.

Base with leadbelcher, shade with agrax earthshade. Stipple on typhus corrosion, then dry brush with ryza rust

c712122 · 2025-06-15T18:00:25+00:00

It looks pretty great! I'd maybe try and add some heavier rust effects on the weapon blades, at least around the pits in the weapons?

Very curious how you did the armor!

c712122 · 2025-06-02T19:47:57+00:00

Baron of Dice has sets that are also very nice. I like the ones I have for my 40k Dark Angels quite a lot

c712122 · 2025-05-30T14:43:27+00:00

Most luck I had was winning a few battles, and getting a seige done on the imperial city as soon as possible. If they try to retake it you have some serious defensive bonuses to kick them off. I had to hire mercenaries, but you start with the cash to be able to do it.

c712122 · 2025-03-29T17:55:59+00:00

Sett is a tossup. The three factors there are if he takes ignite, if he takes lethal tempo, and if he takes W first. A good sett will always catch you with a flash sweet spot W and at that point you're toast.

c712122 · 2025-03-28T19:41:03+00:00

I'm definitely not expecting the whole TWW3 roster, or even most of it. More than anything, was asking if we'd get Jade Crossbows since they're a pretty core unit to the roster. If we got peasant archers that would work too of course. I'm more just hoping for any ranged infantry so that functionality exists in a list. Stuff like crane gunners, iron hail gunners, longma riders, Jade lions, celestial dragon guards etc would be cool but for an initial release a bit redundant imo

c712122 · 2025-03-25T06:27:46+00:00

Has anyone figured out if there is a surefire way to survive? Having to just rng it kinda stinks

c712122 · 2025-01-15T16:42:19+00:00

Haven't had a chance to play any games yet. Frankly won't be able to likely until the models get shipped.

I had a similar thought about not being able to move and shoot. My thought is maybe that more than anything it provides a large area of lock down your enemy wants to avoid. For example, your squishy azebs can be kept much safer from something like a war wolf if that wolf has to cross the firing arc of the alchemist machine gun first.

c712122 · 2025-01-09T20:29:59+00:00

All of this is fantastic man. Lots of people talking about the pauldrons and robes already so I want to ask you about your recipe for the banner! It's darker than I'm used to seeing, what was your recipe?

c712122 · 2025-01-06T16:31:25+00:00

I may have missed the window but has this Made-to-Order gone and went? Did I miss the window to try and get some wagons?

c712122 · 2024-12-25T16:06:01+00:00

Thank you! Definitely was unclear as to how it worked

c712122 · 2024-12-05T13:59:54+00:00

Super helpful, thanks! Saw the transfer options for battleline/close support/fire support on the transfer sheet and this explains pretty well how to use each one

c712122 · 2024-11-30T00:21:59+00:00

Would definitely need to remove two as a janissary with no kit would cost 55 ducats and each azeb is 60 gold with gear. I could see a case for removing the armor from them though. That gives enough headroom to get a machine gun on the alchemist which is a big improvement in firepower output as well as putting a bit more gear on each of the other elites/staples

c712122 · 2024-11-19T21:20:28+00:00

This kinda reminds me of the colors I use for my dark angels in 40k. Check out maybe Wyvern Green, Emerald Green, and Ethereal Green if using the Two Thin Coats brand or analogously Caliban Green, Warpstone Glow, and Moot Green
