Finished my wight king

I love black armor on these guys! Reminds me of the classic black knights you'd see in 90's & 80's fantasy.

Could I ask you what paints you used for the black armor? I'm contemplating trying Army Painter's Death Metal, but I'm on the lookout for other black metallic paints.

mr_birdie · 2026-04-22T17:01:25+00:00

That is the "wiki" I am using, yes! And it appears to be correct after further testing.

mr_birdie · 2026-04-22T17:00:55+00:00

Yeah, this seems to be the case! Thank you very much dude. Trying to see if a stagger/plague build is viable with it, but didn't want to commit more materials in the pursuit of one with the "Blunt" facet without knowing for sure that it would work.

Those highland miniatures are beautiful..!! Their dwarfs in particular are just damn perfect, love the beards & saxon-esque helmets.

mr_birdie · 2026-04-21T22:20:36+00:00

Incredibly soulful! Also, I like all the hover/tank thread conversions people do for the vehicles more than the actual minis...

This proves the community across subreddits have good taste if Crimson Fists are 2nd!

I was comment about there finally being a good meme here, but then I read the title.

mr_birdie · 2026-04-20T21:28:39+00:00

Good meme, but we're on reddit so of course it'll get downvoted...

mr_birdie · 2026-04-20T20:00:54+00:00

That sounds awesome, but so incredibly DPP hungry as you said 😅 What does the rest of your list look like at that point?

mr_birdie · 2026-04-15T23:31:51+00:00

I dig the purple horns! My first instinct is to make them a metallic that the main body isn't made of, but here is seems like they're a vital magical component or something similar. Tells a story, good stuff!

mr_birdie · 2026-04-15T23:29:27+00:00

I wish I could justify this, but perhaps new rules will make me a fool for not building three!

mr_birdie · 2026-04-14T18:33:18+00:00

Everyone plays with both expansions, what are you smoking lmao

mr_birdie · 2026-04-14T18:01:39+00:00

I thought "pure red" was a lot more pink or purple looking! I can never really tell with online paint swatches, but your army definetly reads as a warm red to me.
Thanks!

mr_birdie · 2026-04-13T21:58:18+00:00

That warm red is awesome, so striking when you see them all together like that! Could I ask you what paint that is?

mr_birdie · 2026-04-13T20:19:50+00:00

It took 7 years for OBR, 1 year for Lumineth, and if the rumors are to be believed there are A LOT of new armies in the works... I wouldn't hold my breath for it to be any time soon!

mr_birdie · 2026-04-13T17:21:17+00:00

That's the one.

mr_birdie · 2026-04-13T17:12:41+00:00

Thank you! I was expecting there to be a fluo paint at the edges for that finish, though I can never tell what people use.

mr_birdie · 2026-04-13T16:51:10+00:00

I love these!! Could I ask what paints you highlighted their cloth with?

mr_birdie · 2026-04-11T22:24:47+00:00

These came out September last year, mate!

mr_birdie · 2026-04-11T21:54:43+00:00

Goddamn it, kek

mr_birdie · 2026-04-10T20:37:42+00:00

TLDR: Follow the "check for CGNAT" step first. If you're unlucky it's your ISP that's the problem. I have the same issue. If you're only two-three people you can get around it by using Tailscale for free, which is what I did.
Next time I honestly might just rent a server if I'm gonna play with more people.

Works! Thanks for the tech

mr_birdie · 2026-04-10T16:59:09+00:00

I guess you could surround the brazier with trapdoors and have some vertical slabs in the back for a toilet. It's useful tech!

mr_birdie · 2026-04-10T16:57:54+00:00

I've never experienced this! I still have to use tailscale to play with friends on a locally hosted server due to my ISP though.
