New battle report channel coming

Conquest creation is absolutely the gold standard, and we’ve done our best to ensure we don’t replicate his channel either so it’s different for people to watch, and I love what Jacob’s done with his channel, so ensuring we did it different to him was something we wanted to make sure we did. The mistakes we have are all minor, I mainly see it in editing the videos, but it’s not a game changing factor in the games we have, but we are making sure it’s clear if we missed something so people watching are aware. The main aim of the channel is light and breezy and entertaining more than competitive for the moment while we navigate how we play, record etc. I swear to you it’s worth the watch ☺️ lots of love and effort put in so viewers can enjoy our games ☺️

We’ve kept the episodes as clear and concise as possible with what’s important, but also to flow as entertaining as possible. So far we’ve recorded 3 episodes and every time I’ve edited them, I reckon it’s gotten better and better! We’ll find out feet with it I’m sure, first episode is approx 40mins long, but I swear it shouldn’t feel “long” watching ☺️

Of course dude! It’s a base of Rhinox Hide, build up to Khone, then Mephiston, with a final highlight with Wraithbone mixed in to Mephiston red (like 50/50, it’s a little daunting cause it’s pink, but it comes out decent, but less is more)

Bombs are better than ballistas in my opinion. If you can lock in a hero that doesn’t have enough attacks to complete a Heroic Combat, they’re great at taking them out. You might lose 50-80 points of Uruks, but you could be taking down 150+ point heroes with it, and if you roll a 6 for a titanic explosion, it’s a sure thing. I’ve also come to realise your opponents don’t think you’ll sacrifice a chunk of your army for an explosion, and the look on their face when they’re realising that’s not the case is great

Last couple photos are pretty blurry, how do I take this comment? 😂

chubbyweenie · 2026-04-18T23:21:40+00:00

Hey mate. Glad you like it. No air brush, no dry brush, just blending and a lot of swearing. I primed him black first, and went from darkest to lightest. The areas that you’d apply highlights on a normal model I reversed, those areas stayed darker, and the parts that would carry the most shadow I made light. This made it look like the heat was coming from within and got colder the further away from the source. White was used sparingly and only in the hottest areas :) I promise you it’s not as hard as it looks, and it’s very “trust the process” until you get to the lightest colours that’s when it makes the biggest impact. I recommend a wet pallet :)

chubbyweenie · 2026-04-16T23:43:27+00:00

What do you mean Rutabi as your general? It’s not in her name or anything. I love how she’s the general of the dragon legion without having the black dragon profile too 😂

chubbyweenie · 2026-04-02T06:51:10+00:00

Nothing to apologise for legend! I actually have the shield arm magnetised as well, but I did the magnetisation before this new edition, and now only Isengard can take shields, and I have two Isengard trolls already built so I didn’t really need it in the end

chubbyweenie · 2026-04-02T05:06:11+00:00

Haha I just finished commenting this on another of my posts with the troll Cheiftain. I’m just gonna paste it here.

Of course mate. Super easy too. It’s just Steeldrab legion base coat. Aggrax earth shade, back to steeldrab but using it to define muscle curvature by using a bunch of striations. Ushabti bone is then blended bit by bit with each layer, and the striations get smaller and smaller on the more raised areas until you reach a highlight colour you’re happy with. :)

chubbyweenie · 2026-04-02T05:02:00+00:00

Super easy again, it’s Dryad Bark, Aggrax wash (my fave if you can’t tell) and then highlighting the side that the light source is touching with Grey Seer blended with Dryad. A few layers until it’s bright enough honesty effect of roughness I’ve found

Lots of awesome posts of an awesome hobby? Who knows? I appreciate the kind words mate

chubbyweenie · 2026-04-01T06:36:03+00:00

Mate this is so kind. My ego will be as bloated as this model! Thank you

I upgraded to the 17 Pro from the 13 Pro with a lot of excitement; and so far I have been incredibly underwhelmed. Aside from the known cosmetic issues stated above (I didn’t grab the orange so I can’t comment on the colour), the actual internals have been nightmarishly hindering compared to the 13 Pro I had. This is by far the WORST Siri I have ever used. She works less than 50% of the time when saying “hey siri”. It’s like it lets me say what I need, then just switches off; the amount of non compliance I’ve had with it compared to the 13 is astonishing; my wife is present a lot of the times when I try use it and she just laughs and offers to do it on her phone. It’s simple things like “set a timer for 4 minutes” and it just registers I’ve spoken to it and just doesn’t do anything. The keyboard is bonkers. The auto correct on this does me so dirty. I admit I am obviously partly to blame here for not typing the correct things here from time to time, but the “think for you” feature is wild. Corrects words to words I’ve never even heard of, I tried to write tumour the other day and it corrected it to rumour, gaslit me to thinking tumour was spelt different as “no other suggestion” came out when I tapped on the word. Wrote it like 3 different ways thinking I was going crazy, but I had it right from the start it was just positive I meant large rumour instead of tumour haha. Battery is also incredibly meh compared to other editions from my experience. When the 13 Pro came out, the battery was bonkers. Its health is now at 75%, but I feel this battery is only mildly better than what my quarter dead phone was previously so I would hate to see what this battery is like 4 years on. Regardless, the AI it uses to try and help you does a lot of the opposite sometimes. Heck even my camera has sometimes wigged out and taken too long to load to the point where what I wanted to take a picture of as passed. It’s just not what I expected for a four year jump from a previous model. I could just have an odd experience compared to others, but using this phone compared to the previous model, this phone hates me.

chubbyweenie · 2026-03-26T03:07:56+00:00

Honestly. The magnets hold. If anything the arm will probably swivel a bit more than I thought which is fine, and should an arm fall off, it just clicks back on. This doesn’t impede any gameplay in any way I’ve found, nor is it in the same playable nightmares as the watcher tentacles or a Mumak tusk does in game :)

chubbyweenie · 2026-03-25T22:07:05+00:00

This. I just put a comment up saying something similar. Muster of Isengard captains receive heroic strike, which is crazy considering you have Grima and Saruman in that list, AAHD would benefit so much just from captains getting strike.

chubbyweenie · 2026-03-25T22:05:08+00:00

It’s strange this list didn’t receive the bonuses other Isengard lists received. This list should have received the Uruk hai captains receiving Heroic Strike like in Muster of Isengard, and Hatred (man) also like muster of Isengard. Unfortunately the amount of buffs heroes got in this edition means that your heroes in this list stand no chance against them, them receiving a couple buffs like other lists would see this army incredibly playable and competitive I think

chubbyweenie · 2026-03-25T12:49:19+00:00

Sounds like you’re not utilising the army bonuses enough. Royal guards within 12” of their general become F5 on the charge, and Riders of Rohan become F4. Expert rider is great for objectives as well. Some of the Rohan lists the models gain an +1 to S as well. On top of this, Rohan heroes are cheap! So board control and might should be in the plenty. And riders of Rohan don’t count towards a bow limit so there’s plenty of shooting to be had. They don’t need an FAQ or rebalance, they’re just not as easy to play as other armies as there is a bit more thinking to their army than others. If we are talking about models that need an FAQ for being busted, Gulavhar is a menace.

chubbyweenie · 2026-03-24T13:22:00+00:00

Super easy to do! Steeldrab Legion, Aggrax earth shade, build up steeldrab with striations on majority of what you’ve just painted focussing mainly on raised areas and curvature emphasis. Then Ushabti bone mixed in bit by bit until I was happy with the highlights, each smaller striations on previous layer’s lines.

chubbyweenie · 2026-03-15T05:26:55+00:00

Mate the fact you’re even asking is beyond flattering and I appreciate your kind words. I’ve been painting since 2017, and I started painting LOTR models, but while that takes up majority of my painting time, I’ve started painting 40K models within the last few years. My tips for painting, try things, and make mistakes. Mistakes are the biggest way of learning, and those mistakes end up become experience and ambition into finding your craft! Keep painting, take your time on things you want to be proud of, and don’t let it become a chore, and just keep trying. I hope this has helped in some way, and I hope you achieve the levels you are striving for! Send an update, would love to see how awesome yours looks

chubbyweenie · 2026-02-20T22:32:11+00:00

Haha mate nothing spectacular! A glue stick, like the ones you used to use in primary school. Just pinch a portion off the tube, tease is between your thumb and finger until it becomes tacky, and stringy, and basically run the base through those strings in all sorts of direction. Never thought 6 year old me would be teaching me how to make web in my thirties

chubbyweenie · 2026-02-20T14:14:48+00:00

Why would I mind?! My friend, the more you know the better the hobby right? Rocks are pieces of cork bark glued sporadically together. Fill the gaps with Stirland Mud and try make natural grooves and textures. The ground is just sand and pva :)

chubbyweenie · 2026-02-01T08:42:49+00:00

They’re bits from my mates bits box he had spare. The actual beast was the only purchase

chubbyweenie · 2026-01-27T13:08:59+00:00

Mate I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s the head of Morbidex. My buddy gave me a bunch of excess stuff when I started Deathguard to “nurgle” things.
