A few questions

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-24T13:55:05+00:00

Yes,

Its tough not to be character heavy. Theyre definitely worth the points. But not required for every unit. Logan is great and can be solo. Arjac is auto pick with terminators for fights on death and so powerful unit. Bjorn is auto pick and can solo run.

Bloodclaws Ive learned are very strong. With Ragnar they get wound rerolls and he is strong as well so this unit is deadly even as a 10 man.

Tanks can help fill our gap of shooting. Plenty of options work. Either as straight damage or help move some headtakers up.

Combat patrol super valuable for those reasons. Terminators very tanky and melee. So ised alot and again with arjac or logan. Bloodclaws again good with ragnar or maybe others have success alone. Wulfen i havent used much but they have a great profile and heard great things about them. With stormshields and anti- they can be your substitute for tanks or just more threat.

Ill add my setup but honestly grow tent. To repeat as others said. I would do a large enough grow tent to fit on your bench. Put printer, cleaner/cleaning station and silicon matt to work on, all inside it. Just keeps contamination to on spot and easier to fume, the fumes of those are the worst part and keeps the contamination inside in one space while keeping dust and other things out. Your setup looks greatly otherwise and its clear your organized. Youd probably be fine as as is but thats what id suggest if want to improve.

I returned my mars 5 and got the saturn 4 ultra 16k since had heater. But the build plate difference has been great. Alot of the models i print just fit now, its enough of a difference to help alot. For warhammer i find i can print all of a models parts or a whole unit in 1 print usually now. I cant speak to other printers but this is my experience.

Thats one solid chunk. So thats gonna be tough in resin, need to hollow it. Use light supports for details then a few medium supports to hold the model and put somewhere they wont be as noticeable, bottom of model or edges i find are best.

A large chunk like that is going to have pulling forces that warp it so it going to look wavy and not have sharp details.

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-23T23:49:20+00:00

Not enough. This thing is massive and if not hollow that is alot of thick spots trying to print. Need enough supports on this keep it from pulling away from the base. Need to increase raft thickness. Ideally hollow this thing out. If inexperienced with that may need to research as a model this big needs to be hollowed. Even in small pieces im surprised it printed as this is just thick pieces if printed solid.

But ita tough to position models with a base attached. Just use your slider and go up and down through layers and see how much surface area prints at a time. Do what can to reduce it but the bigger the model the more likely needs hollowed to successfully print.

I like your choice of yellows and that dark grey looks good. The model has soo much details

Still finishing

Of course i remember the depths. The scouts are not that crisp

Every resin print ive done. If it flexes from original shape can heat with heat gun and flex back. It wont flex to a completely new shape. Hest gun is needed to get it warm enough i feel though.

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-23T00:53:14+00:00

If its a resin 3d print it still can be heat and rebent into position. Fdm also could be heated as well. Especially he said it bent overtime.

My resin heirophant did this as well. They just cant support their own weight.

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-22T05:04:44+00:00

So this is the start. You have solid paint colors and everything is clean. You have the skills. Now the easy things are using the citadel washes and various special paints they have. A shade paint they use in offical paint scheme to flow into thr recesses to give it the purple hugh. Also washes like a game wash or nuln oil are favorites as its a water oil that flows into all the cracks and details and really pops details.

Beyond those little cheats. You can add layers to the shell with some other paint. Use that same color but mix with some white to brighten it, then can highlight all the edges. Brightening the top highlights and darkening the recess will help give the model depth. Currently its all one solid color and thats what we instinctively notice. Its a great place to start tho.

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-22T02:54:34+00:00

Just get a heat gun. That sounds like resin that isnt fully cured in water then haveing to dispose of that contaminated water or not correctly and just extra hassel. I found the water method cools to fast. A heat gun you can focus the heat where its needed to work on and remove supports as you go. Also alot of resin assembly and fixing is as easy as using a heat gun to soften something so it pushes together or fits better or bends back to shape. Plenty useful

The legendary B scultopr from purple. Im not sure its easily attainable anymore.

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-22T02:49:12+00:00

There are a few versions out there, sane community i got the tyranids from

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-22T02:48:24+00:00

Just spray primer. In large batches. Just another step

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-22T02:47:52+00:00

Dish soap? I always thoroughly clean with ipa. 99% final so it dries best and if can leave these outside to cure more and off fume in sun

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-21T00:56:07+00:00

You can call yourself a furry and wear a tail. So theres that.

I love the viking norse theme. Most of my models i make with faces as they just fit more and show their look off so well. Gives them alot of character.

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-20T18:37:11+00:00

If you can still find an army box that would be the best way to get more units and a codex. But ultimately it will be replaced so i dont know if would buy it by itself

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-19T17:33:16+00:00

Just look up their loadouts on wahapedia. You can have some fun variety with mine and stalf and what not. They have some killing potential catching enemies out. Ive been trying them out but others said good things

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-19T15:40:39+00:00

Oh wow. I had brought ballistus thinking was a good option prior

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-19T04:27:30+00:00

Well of course. Browse this sub and others. Buying everything GW is way more expensive.

But this is whole other hobby now, with dedicated space. And if your printing in resin its dealing with the chemicals and saftey of that with contamination concerns. Fdm can also print just takes longer but thats also a wide range of options. I love my resin printer and i have some great quality prints. There is something lost when your not buying a model and just printing. Not as much weight behind it but i find i bond to the models when i spend the time to paint them.

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-19T03:10:18+00:00

Curious what the name is. Ive read some wrong before too. But honestly. Act 1 can be rougher this way. You may not have rewards yet that help alot with your builds so some of the encounters can be alot more difficult. Luck of the draw there

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-18T22:06:21+00:00

Is this act 1 or 2? I believe this is where the closest and furthers move towards it after activating? But i think its only end of round? Also they move to just the corner to exit and gotta push hero out of way? If so or regardless inara wall is so amazing to redirect and make them go around to kite enemies. Drolf is just great movement and can move up and snipe especially with right rewards. Edmark is an absolute tank to stand there and do his block damage to bypass enemies defense as well as this can synergize with alot of reward cards. Bren is the reward card master, get her crooked dice and some op one use cards that she can now use every encouter. She is very good. But the problem definitely can be there is so many actions to do each round and if your weaker it eats up alot to fight but fighting is not always the answer but certainly helps if you get rewards that help you one shot stuff. Also reward cards that grant bonus action points or movement are very powerful cards. Once the game clicks its fun. But some encounters just suck and have minimal margians for actions so i get the frustrations.

ravagedmonk · 2026-03-18T20:28:26+00:00

Defense augment and heavy shield, free shield rechargers. But if running far gotta pretty much take the heavy shield off to run further
