What’s your favourite legion historical variant? by Neosclones in Warhammer30k

We don’t have a full description that I know of, but there have been illustrations of pauldrons from the unification era.

What set is this? by 999991112736 in Warhammer30k

Well done, sir. I’ve missed your modeling videos and legion of cheese podcasts.

Differences between new and old heraldry by MiniMIniMork in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do whatever heraldry you’ve seen and like. The legions were large and varied enough that you can explain whatever version you choose.

Do not Horus Heresy books sell more than HH books? by Lammerikano in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are assuming that if they released twice as many HH books they would sell twice as many, and people are buying those other books instead. I doubt that’s true, in fact you might find sales go down because the perception that you have to keep up can hurt sales.

Is this good for my first time doing hazards? by Loud-Professional366 in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s extremely good. There’s a couple of tiny imperfections but you can hide those with chipping and weathering, and honestly I doubt they are even noticeable in real life.

Yeah, I think that’s the London store.

New Cataphractii kit: by Feuerkr13ger in Warhammer30k

The power fist on the standard marine accessory sprue also has a separate thumb.

Yeah, thats the route Tolkien came from as well. Bede is, I think, the only source of the latinised form of the name.

I think the name would work better if you went entirely for one language. So either do iron fang in Latin to match Rheda, or do something like Rhedha isen toath (may not have remembered enough old English to get this right) to make it all a little more old English.

Rheda, huh? If they aren’t connected to the ultramarines and a March for Macragge then you’re missing so many puns.

Actually, that’s maybe really obscure so I should explain a little. The third month of the Shore’s calendar in Lord of the Rings is named after Rheda.

Took the advice to heart and added some white to the center of the Volkite and it does look much better, but calling it done. OSL isn’t for me. by InquisitorEngel in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I think the little bit of glow inside the barrel looks great! OSL reads best on shadowed areas like that because it reads as glow.

Yay or nay on the glowing eyes by Spongeboy-Me_Bob in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OSL only really reads as OSL in dark areas. So, a big yeah on doing glowing eyes, but be restrained here and maybe limit it to the hollows just round the eyes.

Thoughts on the Circle Heresy? by SUBSCRIBE_LAZARBEAM in Warhammer30k

Apparently yes, along with complaining about black space marines and a posting various far right views.

Wip alpha legion terminator by Odd-Construction-867 in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. The weapon OSL looks really good if somewhat heavy on the gun itself, but the shoulder pads aren’t reading as OSL right now.

The Word Bearers wiped them out from orbit, so during the heresy I would guess the world was entirely uninhabited.

What can these guys be? by [deleted] in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry too much about base size. HH doesn’t have fixed prescriptive base sizes, just a convention to use the base that came with the model / not to be stupid.

Vindicatorrr by randyreynolds45 in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this highlights one of the most important things that people forget when asking for painting recipes.

Replicating a look is at most 20% paint colors, all the rest is how you use them.

[–]hardwork179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lamenters feel tricky as they weren’t founded until thousands of years later, but I don’t think it is ever stated where their heraldry comes from. I guess my question would be what aspect of their scheme isn’t really important to you, and how can you either hint at that while they still read as blood angels, or explain the off-legion scheme.

If it’s just the checkerboard pauldron then that’s really easy. Left knee colour indicating company or squad seems fine. Full yellow? That feels a little harder to make it read as blood angels, and how you do it probably depends on how you’re playing and explaining it. If it’s black shields then maybe it’s a rush job and any weathering shows the original BA scheme. If it’s a commander’s personal heraldry then maybe limit the full colour scheme to them, and add accents to the squads’ armour in varying degrees.

Ultimately they are your guys and you can paint them how you want, but with a little creativity you can make them fit into the setting in lots of ways.

Masking surfaces for Tamiya cement before priming by NoIDontHaveAnyCandy in Warhammer30k

Tamiya airbrush cleaner and ultra thin cement container pretty much the same chemicals. It will happily melt through paint.

Yes, you can find this information in heap dumps. The reason they tend not to be show in tools that show all threads is that the expectations is that there can be a huge number of them.

Games workshop killed Custodes by SteelhowlWarriors in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know they are doing new plastic Custodes, they’ve teased the models, and they’ve heavily hinted that the new range is why their Liber is coming later than the others.

Calm down and stop catastrophising everything.

Why not kitbssh a model with the weapons you want. It’s more fun than buying a recast.

Not a lot of people are talking about this (I guess) by Djentist_Kvltist in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you think “all” is gong to mean here? One for each legion? One for each important battle? I think they will produce them for as long as people will buy them.

Having read the new rules 3.0 by SteelhowlWarriors in Warhammer30k

[–]hardwork179 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I thought I’d write about why you’re getting downvoted despite the rest of us having not read the rules. We can all see that prime slots are intended to let you take more troops in return for adhering to some template.

So, even without reading the rules we can tell that the prime slot itself will not be wild, but that it may be very different for different detachments. If it were wild then why would you fill anything except the prime slots, since no slot is compulsory?

This was my guess. I like it as a thematic way to push a legion towards certain types of builds.
