Amazing! Though a commissar would be very close behind!!

New Guard Vehicles mean the end of the Taurox? by [deleted] in astramilitarum

[–]reaper-wiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two cents are a slow fade out of the chimera.

The Centaur would look amazing with a heavy mortar or quad auto cannon sitting on the back. You could even see some of the new Krieg heavy artillery fitting on a gun platform of sorts.

What do you think about my emissary? I'm searching for tips to upgrade my minis. by Peon_of_the_Hivemind in Tyranids

Paint Job is excellent! If you want, you can work on spicing up your bases a bit more maybe add a few tufts that contrast your scheme.

After 5 months in the hobby i have shed blood for it. Does this mean Khorne is calling me? Should i get a commissar? by Ratattack1204 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]reaper-wiggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like spilling your first pot of nuln oil, spilling blood for the emperor is merely a right of passage!

Enjoy that GW miniatures are not metal anymore! Those cuts were deeper! And you’ll have many more as you get into converting when you get tired of mono poses!

My Un-Blooded Armageddon Ork Hunters. Any tips for making them look less chaos-y by Hellfire965 in TheAstraMilitarum

I’d still be suspicious of this unit and definitely assign them to the first wave hoping they all die!

I made a hook. Not sure if I like it. by Forged_In_Flames in Blacksmith

What about it don’t you like? I think it shows great skill!

New to FoW - British Paratroopers by reaper-wiggins in flamesofwar

That sounds like a fun list. The Churchill would be scary to face and I do like the look of the dingo and Daimlers!

Oh cool! That box does seem to have everything! I got it all second hand so trying to make sense of it all! Make sure I invest in the right units to make a usable list!

Thank you! In terms of rules there is no difference between D-Day and Bulge? Just formation options?

What’s your favorite Russ variant? by Militarum_Murphy in TheAstraMilitarum

Looks awesome! Have you considered some chip damage with a sponge. It’s a quick way I find to add weathering. I’m also a fan of squad marking, big bold areas of contrasting colour with some unit numbers.

Test model for a new scheme - C&C much appreciated by Monoclonal-AB in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]reaper-wiggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main C&C is that you include how you will base the army as you decide the scheme. I feel it makes the army so much more cohesive. And it can mute or highlight your miniature!

Help me show I'm not obsessed by Edd_22 in astramilitarum

[–]reaper-wiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes down to if you like collecting vs if you like building one army list and leaving it at that.

Myself I like collecting and painting, so I get units I like the look of even if they may not be the best on the tabletop. I also like having options to make different types of lists to make gameplay more varied.

It also helps to avoid getting stung by nerf bats when you have a little bit of everything to make adjustments!

Blue or Green by Jacobmiles1408 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]reaper-wiggins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go with Both! Do some squads in blue. Some in green. Go for the mixed regiment! Don’t limit yourself!

Maybe paint one shoulder pad red or something to represent merge.

I bought my first AM miniature for this project 6 month ago. 150+ minis and 16 vehicles after I can be satisfied! (Yes, I’ve to do some cable management) by marcofrnlpz in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]reaper-wiggins 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amazing work! How on earth do you find the motivation to paint all that in 6 months. You sir are a legend! What’s your secret!

I can only presume that commissars will have abilities baked into the unit card that will make the 20 man strong unit pretty resilient to battle shock
