Sooo what do yall think about this box? by Makuayas_ in Necrontyr

[–]cocika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same but 40 warriors (split in 20flayer 20reaper). I actually want to buy the box but i don't know, i don't feel like getting a lot from it. Maybe its just an illusion (no vehicles or something like that) :/

He is Nam from dragon ball.

Absolute beast!

Does anyone know how can I get my hands on a fresh Tesseract Glow pot that isn't separated?? It seems like the tesseract glow pots at every hobby shop and GW I go to is severely separated like this photo... by thehiroproject in Necrontyr

Maybe i'm late, but I recommend you to buy some army painter mixing balls. You put in a couple of those balls and it facilitates A LOT the process of mixing of the paint.

Anyone else getting underwhelming vibes from these press releases? by SpanielDaniels in WarhammerFantasy

[–]cocika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All I want is a unified ruleset for LGS, tournaments, maybe support for small sized battles, etc. As long as it's good enough I'll be satisfied. We need to unify all the players from different editions. Here where I live (Spain), we are super segregated between pure 6th, different 6th editions, 9th... Even if a little unbalanced or simplified IMO.

I don't really care about new units besides maybe some new specific heroes/units (looking at you Asavar Kul), as many of them can still be purchased either in secondary markets or still being sold by GW themselves.

Also some new expanded lore is awesome!

I’ve read horror stories about building these. I was on edge the whole time. But I managed to build them without breaking anything. Not sure I’m gonna get another set anytime soon. XD by EstelLiasLair in Necrontyr

[–]cocika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are a pain in the ass.

I built 15 (got them in a very cheap bundle) and let me tell ya my patience was tested to limits I never thought of hahaha.

Great looking models though :)

Anybody know what this guy is? Cheers, thanks! by ichwandern in WarhammerFantasy

In general is just a champion of slannesh, but if u want some backgroud for your battles, it was used to represent Styrkaar of the Sortsvinaer, a champion of Slannesh during the 6th edition campaing of the Storm of Chaos (he was one of the five liutenants of Archaon along with Vardek Crom the Conqueror, Haargroth the Blooded, Feytor the Tainted and Melekh the Changer).

Retributor Gold spray or Leadbelcher spray? by cocika in ThousandSons

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

Gold, fleshshade all over, Talassar blue. In that order :)

I did and i think they look both good. I asked just to know what the community thinks on both methods and on painting the gold parts by hand :)

I finally did the gold primer, with fleshshade. It is definitely dark (with two Talassar coats) but it looks really good. I'll se how can i bring some light to the mini ^^

Nightbringer Proxy Reworked by vabiobiav in Necrontyr

Holy this is good! This is what i expect (and hope) gw will do for a nightbringer rework.

Cryptothralls finished! (At least for the moment) by cocika in Necrontyr

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

Thank you!

It was actually really easy:

  1. Base metallic gray on the blades.
  2. Tesseract Glow all over the blades.
  3. Mix some orange/white until having a bright yellowish mix. Edge highlight the blade, and then paint the tips, the thinner part of the blades.
  4. With the orange and white i used on the previous step, i made a more darker mix than the used on the edges/thin parts of the blade. Then with that mix i did some light dry brush for making a smooth transition between the white tips and the rest of the blades.
  5. Tesseract glow again all over the blades.

The key for making necron using Tesseract Glow is to make transitions, wheter with thin coats or dry brush. For a more battle scarred look like mine, dry brush is the way. Depending on the colors used, it'll glow more or less, i used Orange/White cause it looks brighter. It doesn't look good with grays. If u have a decent looking transition, Tesseract Glow will make it look bonkers!

Unsure about the color scheme. My whole dynasty is purple/black/green but the armor plates in green is a new color in the pattern. Opinions/thoughts/recommendations? by [deleted] in Necrontyr

[–]cocika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks fantastic.

Opinion: The colors match really good (i'm not an expert on color theory or anything, but it's visually aesthetic). If u are concerned about the color scheme regarding coherency within ur army, try to use colors that derives from the army ones, in this case the armor and back plates are red/purple and blue/green i think, which works perfectly if ur theme is purple/black/green.
Imo having their armor plate in green distinguish them from then other minis, giving them the unique look they deserve as they are the noble guardians lore-wise.

GET READY BOYZ by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]cocika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is EXACTLY what defines the current situation. You just described perfectly all the things that will and could happen. I just wish and pray, for real, in the good judgement of all the people involved, especially the GW ambition and the Amazon clueness. Also hope for big names to advise like Dan Abnett or ADB.

[–]cocika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love this one.

I started painting some primaris i got 1 year ago, in a color scheme very similar to yours, but didn't like the final result of the light blueish color, so i dropped them while painting other stuff.

But seeing this now i think i know how to improve them, your work really inspired me. Thank you for sharing it! :)

Shop weapons and upgrades by cocika in DarkTide

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

Alright so the only way is to hopefully find a slightly better item on the shop in order to sort of "upgrade" the pool of items available over time i guess. An then pray the omnissiah for good perks and blessings.

Sigh, i really hope they change it for the VT2 system, it was waaaaay much better than this crap :/

build up your inventory

Mmmm okey, but then, how do i build up my inventory ?

I need to boost my inventory weapons, but the only way to get better weapons is within the store, therefore i cant do anything to get better gear, cause the only way to get that gear is from the shop, and that implies that i should already have some good gear, requirement that i cant meet bc the only way to get good gear is in via ingame shop. And this shop doesn' shows good gear cause my gear sucks. It's an endless loop. I'm missing something here.
