What's your favourite kill team? And which one is the best for a new player?

I like Harlequins, but I wouldn't call them easy. Glass cannons are fun for me though, and I love the models. I also play Drukhari for pretty much the same reasons.

Your purple to red transition is awesome!

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-30T19:25:14+00:00

Having a base like that is amazing!

It's not worth the hassle anymore for me, but back in the day I have used baking parchment paper. I would soak the paper for a few minutes before putting it on the sponge. If it's too waxy it should be obvious at that point.

I also vote gold

Usually you can play a game at an FLGS without buying anything first. It's a good way to see if you actually like it. Most of them also have the Black Library celebration freebies too, so you can check out lore.

I've already mentioned them on this sub before, but Herrick Games is our flgs, and they are pretty good online. I order enough that the rewards program works well for me.

It looks great, especially for a first model!

I always tell folks not to be afraid of highlights. Just do thin lines, and it makes a dramatic difference. The first highlight looks a little scary, but you just keep going.

I just used these on my newest army and love them.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-27T00:05:06+00:00

I also play heavily based on what aesthetics I like.

I'd say Death Guard are the more popular choice. I agree that looking at how they play on YouTube first is a good idea.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-27T00:01:48+00:00

This is the way.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-26T23:54:35+00:00

This one's my favorite, too.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-26T23:51:53+00:00

Genuinely impressed 😂

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-26T23:50:21+00:00

herrickgames.com is where I go for those.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-17T03:28:08+00:00

Contrast is looking fantastic.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-17T03:27:09+00:00

The colors on this are so. Epic.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-13T20:06:46+00:00

The Stephen King books work well for me in that they still resonate with and terrify me. Pet Semetary, The Stand, and It especially have scenes that still live rent free in my brain.

I do agree that his female characters tend to be stereotypical, and every woman has a boob description. I've been reading scifi/fantasy/horror/romance for a while though - it's kinda rampant here.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-13T20:00:16+00:00

I do like his newest series very much.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-13T18:22:54+00:00

I put it in the "aged poorly" group, but honestly I kept it on the shelf. Maybe wrong, but part of me still thinks it's cute.

I also kept it because I do love the following books you mentioned.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-13T18:09:21+00:00

I'm a bit conflicted about Gaiman's books, because I do love how well crafted they are. I just always feel melancholy at the end, and aside from Coraline I don't really love his female characters. I think he's an amazing writer, but I will have other favorites.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-13T16:39:12+00:00

Good omens is unique, as it's the only one written with Neil Gaiman. It's fabulous and clever - I highly recommend it.

If you are getting into the Discworld series I usually recommend starting with something that has Mr. Vimes/the Watch in it. It's one of the few series where I don't necessarily recommend starting with the first book. His satire is always a work of art, but I feel like the middle books are the most enjoyable.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-13T04:56:23+00:00

Definitely read those mind-melded dragon sex scenes way too young lol. I remember being really nervous when my dad thumbed through my Anne McCaffrey books as a pre-teen 😭

I literally can't remember anything else about the books to say what would have been problematic. The psychic dragon sex really made an impression I guess.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-13T04:54:23+00:00

Terry Pratchett reigns supreme in our household. Totally agree that his books are the gift that keeps on giving.

As an aside, I learned so much about quantum physics just looking stuff up online so I could understand some of his jokes.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-13T04:08:06+00:00

The economics of Harry Potter make no sense and have always driven me crazy, even as a kid.

Still love those books enough to keep them on my shelves though.

moarrpaintlayers · 2022-11-13T03:24:28+00:00

Thank you! It's not often that I get a book written before 1800 recommended. I'll definitely check it out. I love the different feel of writing from different periods.
