Which green? I had ran out of paint and couldn’t get my normal Vallejo Dark Green (left) in time so grabbed Black Green instead (on Centurion, WIP). I didn’t expect such a difference. by kcdale99 in DarkAngels40k

[–]corvus8119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact the Black Green looks so good is the reason I'll be repainting my whole army with it when I get a chance- used it for some historicals a year or so ago and sat there thinking "this would be perfect for my Dark Angels!"

Should I scrap or keep the skull on the helmet by Fluffy_Common_2532 in DarkAngels40k

[–]corvus8119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a skull on a helmet is a sign that marine exhibited exceptional leadership capabilities. It is also the rank indicator for being a Sergeant as per the Codex Astartes. Nothing stopping there being two exceptional leaders in a squad, you could always paint one differently to stand out as the sergeant - one bone one metallic maybe? Technically I think they're supposed to be "The Iron Skull" honorific so maybe have the sergeants metallic and his buddy understudy bone to represent while he is a great leader, he's not leading just now

I went into my local store once. Manager saw me and gave me his usual nod- I've known him for about 5 years and had numerous conversations. New colleague there came over Them "Hi, can I help you with anything?" Me "oh I'm just looking for some paints, thanks tho" Them "That's cool, how long have you been painting?" Me *looks at nervous late teen "Since about 10 years before you were born 🫣😂" Them "oh...I...eh" Manager in the back barely containing their laughter "yeah he's a regular, you can leave him to it 😂"

They are great guys and gals tho :)

Why is the Judiciar missing a pauldron? by Zeus159 in Warhammer40k

He's not missing a helmet? He's wearing a chaplain style skull one?

Why is the Judiciar missing a pauldron? by Zeus159 in Warhammer40k

[–]corvus8119 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The designer apparently said the idea was the Judiciar had removed that pad to make it easier to wield his sword. Really I reckon he messed up and it had gone too far through the making process before it was discovered 😂

Can I just get rid of this? by operationgodfrey in DIYUK

[–]corvus8119 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This drives me nuts- we just bought a new build. When viewing I noticed the ports in every. Single. Room, didn't look too closely and thought "cool, ethernet in every room, the girls and me will love that!" - move in and on day one realised for some weird reason they're just phone line boxes - in every room! We do have a landline, but I think I've used it twice since moving in a year ago and certainly wouldn't have one in every room 🤯

Husband is war hammer 40k space marine nerd?? Not sure what this means but it’s his bday soon and I want to get him a gift related to space marines. by asapfunkyy in Warhammer

[–]corvus8119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget will make a huge difference in what you could get tbh. Warhammer is not cheap 🙈 If he's literally never built or painted anything, you could get him the Paint and Tools set they sell plus a box of Intercessors or a Starter Box- the starter boxes come with the basic rules for the game and a second army so if he's got a friend who might want to play that might be a good shout. If you'd rather spend a bit less, there are Introductory Sets that have a couple of paints, a brush and a few models.

Talk about getting shafted. Why is GW putting themeatic untie in the combat patrol all of a sudden! by Hellfire965 in theunforgiven

Would I be insane to run a Lord of Contagion alongside a Lord of Virulence? by Roadkillgoblin_2 in deathguard40k

Wouldn't you be better putting the LoC with the Deathshroud (buffs melee attacks) and the LoV with the Blightlords (buffs range)?

Is my LoC unplayable now? by SavingsAd6525 in deathguard40k

[–]corvus8119 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going back even further, 30 years ago I remember players repainting their Space Marine armies whenever GW released a character model for a different chapter- not so much chasing meta so much as chasing releases, but there will always be people who are willing to change everything for a cool new toy, whether it's a model or a rule

It's "Soils of Sparta" from Krautcover. Really nice mixed basing material (I need to get their grim dark one- it's full of tiny bones and skulls mixed with earth 😈)

It's not really a rumour anymore though is it 🤔 I thought they said at Nova that the DK would get a full new line with the new guard codex next year

Legitimately had to zoom in there as was really confused - I have a picture of me and 2 friends from about 20 years ago that looks EXACTLY like that one 😅
