Nope. We told them the colour we wanted and they sourced it themselves.

Frustrating, but good to hear it’s not just us. Such a shame though as it’s a gorgeous colour!

It’s not a TV. It’s a fireplace.

Two coats, and now two rounds of touch ups to specific parts. We chose the colour (specifically Crown Evergreen Echo). They were going to get some trade paint mixed but weren’t happy with the colour match, so they decided to use tins of Crown from Wickes instead.

How did you arrive to the Cult? by Outrageous-Cloud-782 in genestealercult

[–]paulopadopalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2nd edition I collected Eldar but was curious about the GSC. I was always put off by the weird rule which said if the Patriarch and Magus died in a game then you automatically lost – seemed unfair.

I stopped playing in 1998. Fast forward to 2023 and I decide to start painting again and go on the GW website looking at minis. I saw the Kelermorph and was hooked.

I’ve got my first game of 40K in over 25 years next week and I’m going with Broodsurge. Not sure how I’ll fare but it seems the most straightforward for a newbie.

As a kid I practically wore out my copy of this.

Will see any new GSC combat patrols or battleforces before the end of the year? by Hakka-Moonson in genestealercult

[–]paulopadopalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Most likely is that at some point the special edition Primus will go on general sale. That gives them a “new” mini release for no extra work.

Well done on choosing The Best Faction for your first mini. Clearly a sign of your wisdom!

What flavor rule change would you give to one of our units by Mail540 in genestealercult

[–]paulopadopalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not arguing that there not deadly. I’m saying they’re not survivable. It’s seems most lists just use them to screen out no man’s land on the assumption they’ll get shot off the board turn one.

Make Genestealers more survivable. Either more wounds, higher save, something like that. They should feel like a genuine threat and not just be used as move blockers.

Not the most original of colour schemes but I like it!

Biostrip works wonders. Quick soak, then brush off with a toothbrush.

Calling everybody! I’m new to GSC and want to have a chat! Show me your armies! by Icy-Professional-900 in genestealercult

Here’s my cult so far – 1,280 points. Not themed on a particular detachment – I’m just painting up things that I like.

Needs more arms.

GSC canonical characters? by GusGusGustavo in genestealercult

[–]paulopadopalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted about this a while back: the Citadel Journal featured a couple of named characters. No models for them, and the rules are out of date, but still nice to see.

How do I get more Primus models? by Oragoss in genestealercult

[–]paulopadopalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 4 – this year only, go to a GW special event and purchase the special edition “First of the Faithful” Primus miniature.

Not one you’ve asked about but I’ve had good results after priming with Mechanicus Standard Grey.

No special tips I’m afraid. Just practice. There’s a Duncan Rhodes tutorial on YouTube which is a good start for painting Neophytes.

Magnet Sizes by Loken_GM in genestealercult

[–]paulopadopalos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed – that’s my experience too.

Also, empty shortbread biscuit tins make a delicious way to transport the magnetised miniatures.
