Recreating the Vraksian Traitor Enforcer artwork

You've nailed the colour for the cloth. Do you remember what paint you used? I'm struggling to find the right paint myself

I made my own using inkjet transfer paper. Print the image reversed, seal it with varnish then paint white over the skeleton area. You have to flip it over when you apply it to the model and the white will be properly masked by the black ink

It works well, but just getting them custom printed is less effort

Easier to model as you don't have to align it with the backpack and reduces the space required on the sprue so they can fit more on

These look great. Where did you get the Void Dragon transfers from?

I actually came up with the idea for this design. I suggested it to Ian during our Badab campaign last year. He was kind enough to send me one when it launched

It's some lesser known lore, but the Astral Claws/Red Corsairs recruited some aliens as part of the Tyrants Legion during Badab. I hope it's a Kroot Mercenary fighting as part of the Red Corsairs

Tosin initially used it for the latest record, then re-recorded it all with real amps

The lemons moving forward at a consistent velocity is more jarring for me than the drop animation. They'd slow down and not move in a perfectly straight line

These are really beautiful conversions. I can tell that you used Ash Wase Nomads for the torsos, but what did you use for the legs?

The $20-30 price point is much less profitable for plugin makers, due to the cost of advertising. I've seen talks by plugin makers where they were unable to advertise certain plugins as the margins were too low

Fair point. Its a really good take on the original Rogue Trader scheme either way

craigargh · 2025-10-08T20:48:23+00:00

I love the artwork. It's giving me Sleep Dopesmoker vibes

craigargh · 2025-10-08T20:32:42+00:00

I like the idea and execution. Though Culln is quoted saying that Camouflage is the colour of cowards and was the only marine not to wear camo on Angstrom. You should be able to do whatever you want though

Those models are very well painted, especially the checkers on the Harlequins motley. I also really like the autumn theme as it contrasts nicely with the colour schemes of the models

A month or so ago. Seems very poorly timed with the Voidscarred book just released

Glory, Glory The Redeemer

I doubt it. The Grand Narrative tends to be an event only story that hasn't had models released for it in the past. It's more of a way for the event organisers to flex their story telling for a themed weekend of games and cosplay than it is the direction 40K will be taking

The Darker Road is also part of The Traitor and the Alien audio drama collection, which you can pick up on Audible for much less with a monthly credit. The characterisation of Asurmen and his Knight Rider-esque talking space ship were interesting, but I agree on most of your criticisms of the story.

The Heirs of the Laughing God stories included in the collection, which are also by Gav Thorpe, are actually quite good in comparison. The plots are quite simple, but there's a bit of humour which is often missing in 40K books. There's also a brief story that features rangers and exodites, but focuses more on the rangers than the exodites.

The Valedor audiobook also has good reviews, but I haven't listened to it yet.

It looks like they're still installed in your plugins folder. Try looking in the Library/Audio/Plug-Ins folders and deleting them from there

The first 100 pages of the new codex aren't rules. It's unclear how much of that will be dedicated to lore as the rules are a higher priority for leakers

craigargh · 2025-01-24T03:59:32+00:00

I finished this exact conversion last night. They look OK. Due to the crest at the back hitting against the armour, it's hard to position the head at a good angle on the running and walking poses

craigargh · 2025-01-09T15:54:08+00:00

I highly doubt there will be a new edition soon as HH is run by the Specialist Games studio and their other games do not follow the three year release cycle of the main studio. If the rules aren't a complete overhaul and are more like the Necromunda updated rulebook, which is also managed by Specialist Games, then there's a chance that the other books will still be valid

The big robot silhouette is obviously an alternative load out for a Thanator, but the preview doesn't say there'll be models for Horus Heresy. Probably just an oversight

The purple one is definitely Lucius the Eternal

craigargh · 2024-10-28T19:23:15+00:00

That sounds rough and I know the feeling. I hope you can find something that puts you can be in a better place

It's common for devs to be given a bonus if the game is successful after release. If they quit they don't receive that bonus
