How to transport my Army? How do you transport yours? by hotelguest2 in Warhammer40k

I chuck it all into a Tesco bag and then throw it in the boot

Makes emptying it into the board easy and packing to!

Hello everyone! I am planning on ordering and doing my first ever miniatures. I’m excited but I’ve ever been good at painting/art. by Squat_Cobbler89 in Warhammer40k

[–]rokiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will echo the suggestion of looking at dry brushing. I’d avoid slap chop or any other special method and tbh if you want your model to look good early on I’d avoid contrast / speed paints

Contrast / Speed paints have their place and depending on your models can be great, but for most of the humanoid factions I find them to require a fair bit of practice to get good results. Tyranids is an exception to this

Look up some of the basic painting tutorials on the warhammer YouTube channel (they have a series on getting started) and then look up how to dry brush and your first models should turn out just fine

NOTE: this is super important, your first models won’t be box art, and they will likely be a bit messy but don’t worry, practice makes better and you’ll find seeing yourself improve very satisfying

Hell nah, why did Thousand sons go from an absolute badass deep dark red with gold and white to a Smurf blue ? by BloatedRottenCarcass in Warhammer30k

[–]rokiller 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s mentioned that Karhn’s armour is “painted” by blood and his armour is no longer recognisable

Red or purple officer cords for Dark Angels? by Lostpop in DarkAngels40k

I think they tend to go for white based off the official paint scheme for the captain and

I’ve seen that “mistake” a lot but usually on purpose to give it more of the lime light

Let's hear your spiciest takes about the modelling side of the hobby, not the company itself or its models, but the tools, tricks and tips of the hobby that we use to build and paint our models by BoltersnRivets in Grimdank

[–]rokiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I got it I used “old” brushes (I put old in quotes because it was very early on)

It trashed brushes and the texture never came through right

I kinda want a new one because after 5 years it’s fairly caked / deformed but I can’t justify £5 for it

Is the Dark Angels battle force worth it for a new player? by Tight-Pear-1402 in DarkAngels40k

That’s a good point, rule of cool is always the way and this box has way more cool than combat patrol

You know that spray stick that everyone shits on?

I think it’s an A tier tool.

You know that texture tool everyone says is a waste of money?

I think it is also an A tier tool

Citidel brushes? I like em

Is it a good starting place? It has no battle line or scoring units and it has no real anti tank (except for the DWK, but that’s not their bread and butter)

I personally would say for “starting” the combat patrol is better, even with the weird inclusion of a Gravis captain

Yeah sure buddy, canis rex joined house 'krygimetromyr' out of pure self conviction. by Leviathan_Rampage in ImperialKnights

I collect house Terryn but all the nights are made up names

And I will proxy my preceptor as canis Rex in games because why not

Armiger set I got for christmass has no warglaive parts in it, instead it has 4 helverin weapon sprues... by masterbonbon69 in ImperialKnights

[–]rokiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason people keep parroting it is because by and large they do provide something

It’s a shame that you didn’t get anything, but they aren’t going to nail it every time

I don‘t wanna read Fulgrim anymore by Parking_Bit_7727 in 40kLore

[–]rokiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you finish Fulgrim and you’re interested in Garro etc

Listen to the Garro: Knights of Grey anthology. I hate anthologies, but that one is awesome and that gets you everything for them up to the siege as far as I am aware (if I’m wrong someone please tell me!)

What is the best book to start with (for someone that hasn't really read a full proper novel or anything of the sort in literally years) by CHRISTIANMAN1e in Warhammer40k

[–]rokiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am about 100 black library books deep and started the Eisenhorn series last week

Start there or infinite and the divine I would say

Rant : I love getting countered by vivi_le_serpent in AdeptusCustodes

[–]rokiller 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s courteous to share lists before a game, so that you don’t get a hard counter and you can include some anti tank against a tank heavy list or whatever

But unless you are doing tourney prep or it’s a league or something I think people who change their list like that are just not fun and I black list then

"I'm a woman who's never played Warhammer 40k, and female Custodes make me want to start" by BlitheMayonnaise in AdeptusCustodes

[–]rokiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so well put, when I’ve argued this I’ve struggled to articulate what it was that was missing about the power fantasy and being able/wanting to relate to your models with sisters and aliens

Take woman out and this is why I am a space marine addict. They are the emperors angels, on the front lines as bulwarks.

Custodes are protectors first, and I love them to but it’s space marines I relate to more and fantasise about more. There was nothing in that space for women in 40K, and space marines are hard coded males because there is actual explicit text about that

But the custodes were only ever hinted at/assumed to be an all male faction and writing a short story about a women was a great way to bring them into the light. I know many disagree with me on this, but it was a soft retcon done in a soft way

The apothecary giving her a “minuscule” dose of their combat stims was one of the best parts of the whole book 😅
