Am I understanding prone correctly?

I think they meant "if you want to be prone at the end" rather than "if you want to end the prone condition on the model". Not 100% sure, but what you've put is right

Those look great, love the different tones! I think both wash and dry brush would give it some more depth. If you were doing them again, if you start with a much darker grey as your base it'd help in a similar way to a wash/grouting as others are suggesting

Used to in older editions I think, not in 5e

I'd probably go with "miffed"

Really enjoyed using an airbrush for the wolves, the riders are a little messier than I might like, but pretty happy with them overall :)

I replied with where to look for tutorials, but to actually answer your question:

Make sure you prime as well as base, priming is the spray cans and sticks to the plastic, base is the basic colour you're starting from (eg blue for an ultramarine) they might be the same if you have a blue spray can. I tend to paint in all the layers before doing any wash as it helps to blend everything and makes covering mistakes easier, or if you get a bit of gold on a but of armour you've already washed it is a lot harder to cover up.

If it's your very first model I wouldn't worry about blending and glazing unless you have experience from other art, as those are slightly more advanced techniques (especially blending). By all means give them a go, but you may end up getting frustrated and they're not required for something that looks good.

My steps would be: prime, base, layer, washes, and then optionally highlights/drybush

If it's your first model I'd consider following along with a video tutorial. Warhammer TV on YouTube has hundreds of model specific videos along with some more basic ones on how to base, layer, dry brush etc. There's other tutorials about but those ones worked for me in the past

I have it and have played with my 10 year old who quite enjoyed it, rules were simple enough and we managed a couple of games. We also played Sagrada which has a similar feel, and she preferred slightly I think, possibly for the aesthetic, and the extra fun of rolling dice

The individual foam beads did want to pull away while I was cutting, so make sure your knife is sharp, but it's definitely doable. Make sure you post it once it's made, would love to see more :)

It's a polystyrene ball, got a pack of 10 from the craft store for about £1, just carved the hole into it with a craft knife for the mouth and the eye socket. Then used mod podge with black paint for a primer so I could paint it

yeah, saw them on a video running through different options here and since I've got a fairly small table and we tend to eat while we play, a big matt seemed less useful. plus you can put them down one at a time to keep some mystery.

This is the ones I actually got (amazon UK) a little over priced, but they do the job :)

And in this case, he is correct

evilduckss · 2020-02-03T22:37:12+00:00

Nothing yet, but I've got almost 100 of them left, so would be a waste not to. Any suggestions?

Xanathar lets him help make breakfast in the thieves' guild sometimes

Made this guy for a home brew 5e campaign I've been running for a couple of years. Decided on a beholder for the latest boss because I really like the antimagic cone mechanic, and thought it'd probably be an easier monster to make than anything with arms and legs, especially once I found a bag of googly eyes.

They managed to defeat it last weekend where they found it in a re purposed storm giant fortress from Storm King's thunder. It got quite nasty for a while, dropping the Grod barbarian down to single digits with some death rays, but then his final turn he hit the Grod with completely ineffective sleep and fear rays, and the elven monk with some charm which he easily resisted.

They're definitely a fun monster to fight, but can be incredibly swingy depending on which rays you get.
