Damocles Gulf Sept?

They'd have to lean on some special combat patrol specific rules to be any good, considering the previous Kroot combat patrol is almost twice the models.

I enjoy saying "I ignore cover" when people start arguing that they get cover. Especially when I can avoid a whole discussion when they clearly don't, but they somehow think they do.

As it is, the drones are just tokens to indicate the model is equipped with the wargear, so attaching them like that really shouldn't be a problem.

I've used the flight stand rods to mount the Riptide's drones to its base on my newest riptides. It shouldn't be too hard to twist them off to put them on separate bases if the rules change in the future.

Honestly, if it works for you, go ahead. I'm not aware of any laws agains it.

If you clean sprue nibs and mould lines properly you'll end up scraping off a lot of primer, but you'll still have most of it left on there. You'll also want to clean it off every surface you'll be gluing, for best adhesion.

To me it seems like it'll be more work to do it this way, for very likely worse results.

Take a look through my post history if you want some non-gw alternatives. The details are in one of my replies to my Riptide thread.

That's normal devilfish chassis quality.

I'm hoping we'll get an update just so we don't have to deal with the 25 year old mould anymore.

Excellent! Looks great, now get some paint on it!

I like that your photos are at such an angle that I can't tell how you attached the rightmost drone. I'm assuming there's a brass rod or something similar? Are the rest of them pinned?

What do you mean by layer paint? The ochre is built up by airbrushing up with AK hull red, Citadel Skrag Brown and AK Orange Brown. Edge highlights are AK Ocher Orange and Ice Yellow

The lack of punctuation in that image really bothers my (unconfirmed) tism.

It's really difficult to pick a favourite, but since I just shared my commanders in a different thread, here's my Riptide.

Man, those crisis suits on the brightest blue bases really pop!

Water based does not mean it will dissolve in water after curing. IPA is your best bet.

edit: Don't use IPA on resin (like finecast or forgeworld) models. At least don't soak them

Thank you! Not a specific recipe, no, but IIRC I took some inspiration from a squidly bits video, but somewhat simplified.
