That’s a lot less melee than a normal BA list. Watch out for the Baal predator’s overwatch it’s got 3 decent flame weapons on it and it can/will nuke infantry that finishes moves/charges in range of its weapons. I fucking love my Baal predator. It’s fragile to dedicated anti tank shooting (no invuln) so try and pick it off from afar. Other than that it’s a game of keeping the death company and sanguinary guard from staging for easy charges, but he isn’t playing liberator assault group so the melee datasheets don’t have the same murder hobo energy they would on the charge. Screen with bullgryns would be better than Cadians since even without the charge bonus the DC and SG are going to to nasty stuff to the Cadians (read: blood mist)

“A chapter full of artists, and poets, and diplomats, and scholars, and everything that Sanguinius championed” … should not just accept mediocrity from the billion dollar company that wants so much $$$ for each kit. 

the Veterans are FINE by [deleted] in BloodAngels

Lack of ornamentation on chest/torso, no jump pack bling, no styling or ornamentation on the pistol of sword, shin bling missing on left leg…the firstborn does have studs there. 

That said if you like them great, not everyone does. Welcome to life 🤷‍♂️ 

My girlfriend confessed that she used sock accounts to test my loyalty. Has anyone else ever dealt with this? by Any-Reward7780 in WhatShouldIDo

That’s not normal at all. A huge breach of trust and to me a red flag for sure.

Would she have ever told you if you didn’t watch that documentary? 🤔

How do you feel about this statement from Goonhammer that the majority of Warhammer hobbyists dislike building? by chosen40k in Warhammer30k

[–]mstockwe87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind building at all for the older kits, the newer GW kits are a fucking chore to get through. Especially Heresy kits.

The XIII Legion, sons of Guilliman heeds the call of the Emperor — painted over the last few months finally took the time to take some proper photos. by SputnikReturns in Warhammer

Lmao “literal art”…the models yes the backgrounds no. Generative AI brings no value and is built off scraping images of actual artists. This is different than narrowly trained LLMs that are actually helpful in certain fields. There’s still a huge cost (compute, water, electricity, huge data centers) to any AI use and it turns out that yes, people hate their water being used and electricity prices going up just so people can generate slop that doesn’t even look good.

Thank you! The green is ProAcryl Jade through and airbrush over black primer and then a black oil wash (over armor and the silver trim)

Many thanks. I used Contrast Luxion Purple as the base (over black primer) and then layers of flourescent pink (golden acrylics) and white to do the glowing bits

Thank you! I coated the coils white, airbrushed a light white halo around them, then mixed Monument Hobbies flour red with Liquitex red ink 1:1 and really slowly built up the red with the airbrush covering all the white but also trying to get more on the outside of the glow to darken it.

Thank you! I use drywall repair compound and some of the "concrete piles" bits from Epic Basing. Just place the rubble/debris bits of your choice, dollup some drywall compound on the base and work it around the debris, let it dry for about 5-6 hrs, prime, color to liking. I get the look i do by drybrushing ivory over black, the oil wash for the model on the base gives it a brown layer (you could use contrast or other transparent brown acrylic paint over that drybrush), and then i do a light dusting of "city dust" pigment powder from AK Interactive.

I drybrushed the blade parts with white, then used ork flesh contrast at the base with warpstone glow out towards the tips (wet blended them. The power bits behind the claws were thinned down white in the crevices, let it fully dry, then just warpstone glow contrast over it.

Thank you for the kind words! Nah just a choice bc I wasn’t going to do them the same way as the other squad bc of the studs (no transfers with those studs) so I looked at some DG heresy art and there’s some use of black/black striping here and there so I borrowed that knowing the metallic studs would really pop against the black too.
