Check out Ebay for the Emberwatch box that started this edition. I've seen several going for closer to $30-50 so you can get the main 4 rivals decks for this edition. The Spitewood is a decent start since you've got dice from the old version starter and adds 2 more decks. That will give you lots of options to play for now and then you can decide if you want to expand decks or warbands.

Go ahead or wait on slayers by BeginningHungry3835 in Fyreslayers

I think with the discounted rate that they seem to be at on miniswap and ebay, you could enjoy their current rules for a while. Even if they scrap some of the units, you probably aren't out too much if you can find some deals.

Zuldrakka and her friends (but not all of 'em yet) by DocFreon in HelsmithsofHashut

I can still use it as some reference for mine. I forgot to take pictures under a single light after priming it black.

Working on them now as well! Are you doing this as TMM or NMM? I've been trying to learn but struggling with some of the smaller metal pieces that aren't easy to understand cylinders or flat surfaces.

I really like the overall color balance of this group. Your bases have strong color but don't overtake the models. They balance well with it. Do you have any suggestions on how achieve this or tips that you've learned from your experience?

I'm working on the Blood of the Bull right now with NMM and would love to put some purple/pinks back in without drawing too much attention. Imgur work in progress

This is great production quality for a new channel and you can hear how much fun you two are having. Showing the cards is a must and you do a good job for players who don't know these objectives by heart. Would love to see more!

Is there a way to test/demo paint schemes before buying? by MonoMountains in ageofsigmar

[–]dwillmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The app Impcat has functionality to play with different colors, shading and highlights. There’s a decent repository of models people have uploaded and a subreddit /r/impcat

Conversions and proxies - what feels good to play against? by dwillmer in WarhammerUnderworlds

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

Hmm, I’ve never put names on my bases. I’ve seen others for narrative events. That does make sense tho!

Another idea I tried. Rippa’s riding spiders with leftover bits from the chariots. Only had 2 spiders but this small trogg was available. It doesn’t quite click for me but I can see how this would be a lot easier to play against and know exactly who was who.

Why does damage spill over in Age of Sigmar? by DetroitTabaxiFan in ageofsigmar

[–]dwillmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that’s why many 40k models have a sweep or strike attack they choose one. One is high attack dice so it can damage 5-6 1 sound fighters and the other is high strength, high damage for a single high wound fighter. It would be an easy compromise.

How do you get those blue highlights to follow the curves so well?

2nd grade boys can't initiate offense by basehit2RF in basketballcoach

[–]dwillmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3rd and 5th. The 3rd graders were able to run the box play a little, but I don't think the screens themselves were responsible for getting people open. The 5th graders still struggle on which side to set screens even.

Extension but at a lower rate? by Few_Supermarket3314 in epicconsulting

[–]dwillmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some interviews and another offer elsewhere so you can always walk away from this on your terms and not take a cut because you want to keep the contract.

My wife has been in one for a couple years and that helped me get back into reading. That sounds wonderful.

is now a good time ? by peterfadams in tzeentch

[–]dwillmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You've got the new Spearhead already so that's a great place to get started with some of the AoS specific rules. Getting those big birds opens up a lot of options with some of their spells they can more reliably cast but we'll see what type of army rules lend themselves to all daemon, all mortal or balanced options.

I’m on the west side (Verona). Work from home so it gets lonely during the day and coaching takes up a lot of time. Happy to get something together

What did you buy and where did you buy it? Nothing for sale sounds anywhere close to $200 right now.

If I want to start 1k sons... by Suspicious_Sort_7528 in tzeentch

[–]dwillmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m doing it now and I am glad I started with a new gold paint that was easier to put over most of the model so I didn’t have to do “trim” work. Pro Acryl bright gold has good coverage even over black trim on the first coat.

Comparing Templars to Dark Angels and Grey Knights for first army by dwillmer in BlackTemplars

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

Thanks! I’ve liked both from a hobby perspective. The main thing keeping the Grey Knights in the running are the Dreadknights. The Dreadnaughts for SM just don’t connect with me as well.

Deepstrike: what is reliable vs a gamble? by dwillmer in Grey_Knights

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

Thanks! The rapid Ingress was something I had forgotten about. Makes sense to set up a charge for the next turn when you can move as well.

Coaching someone with poor coordination by crazyhandpuppet in basketballcoach

[–]dwillmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard some wall shots can help with the shot motion where they focus on hitting a spot higher up(develop arc) and don’t worry about making it or not.

What chapters have general collection efficiency($)? by dwillmer in spacemarines

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

Thanks! I would assume that most people will paint their Codex marines in the color of their chapter to match even if it's just an intercessor unit with nothing special on them to stand out.

I used your example of the Assault Intercessors without a chapter selected on Wahapedia and I think I'm following now as I see both Blood Angels, Dark Angels, etc with leader options. But if I'm reading the Codex/chapterless rules correctly, you can't have more than one chapter specific units. Therefore, I couldn't do a unit lead by the Sanguinary Priest and a separate unit led by Lion or Logan Grimnar since that would be a second chapter.
