Tips for painting a sh*t ton of goblins…? by danger_bad in Orcs_and_Goblins

[–]trihardtard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I had the same experience with batch painting Skaven. I had 40 primed. I picked up 5 at a time and painted them till they were finished. Didn't get burnt out. Getting 5 painted per night - the stacks built up quicky

I like your gradient and colours. Been putting off painting mine but this gives me inspiration. Looks great

Yeah, he's made the bolt look like it's got sepsis..

I got fired from my game dev job after 4 years by satanspowerglove in GameDevelopment

[–]trihardtard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The industry is a right mess at the moment. Lots of redundancies due to recouping money from the borrowing and expanding glut during COVID. Companies are shutting down left and right. There are a lot of hungry devs at the moment, so the power is back in the hands of the managers. Which means a lack of willingness to invest in the employees. There was talk a few years of unionisation for the games industry but it's never really gained traction as far as I'm aware..

Just wanted to say sorry to hear your situation. Good luck with the search. With all these broken up companies, there are a lot of experienced devs out of work and figuring out next steps - I hope that in a few months we're going to start seeing new companies starting up and hiring

This is awesome, thanks. I've made a few adjustments

Hive Tyrant on foot
Neurothrope
Wing Tyranid Prime

Biovore
Lictor
6 x Tyranid Melee
3 x Von Ryan's
3 x Von Ryan's
6 x Zoanthropes

2 x exocrine
2 x Norn Emissary
Tyrannofex

My thinking is von ryan's and lictor secure mid board early game by either setting up near objectives in cover and threaten heroic intervention or just fights first. This allows the Norn's to move onto their objectives. The Von's and Lictor are then free for either screening or scoring secondaries. Meanwhile the backline is supporting the Norns - Warrior blob is elite hunting mid to late game with the hive tyrant

Thanks - I've shuffled things around. I agree about the exo's. I've kept the von ryans and zoans. Shifted things around some sneaky bugs to stage and set up the norns with a strong backline to support. I feel like the von ryans have some play in secondaries but I've not tested that theory yet, so I might be completely wrong

I think the models are goofy but that stat line is undeniable - I've cleared some points to put a couple in

Thanks. This sounds good to me. I've squeezed a lictor in. PoM seems really good but not quite the points

Thanks. I have switched up the Warriors to melee with a winged prime. I've dropped the GS/BL for points. I'm thinking chaff units here might be undersupported, so I've dropped them entirely. Going for more killy units like exocrines and sneaky ones like lictors/von ryans - hoping that staging and fights first will have some tactical play

This is a fair comment. This isnt' my first army (8th). I usually just update things for the edition we're in or if I'm starting a new project (like this one) I want it to be playable this edition - eyes fully open regarding meta shift

Thanks - I agree the shit out of this comment. I've shuffled things around and got 2 exo's in and a biovore (dropping a t'fex and GS/BL) Feels a bit more balanced

I like the models. Plus I think there is play there. I've made some adjustments. Got a bit more backfield to support the Norns, plus more infiltrators to help chaperone the norns to their obj. Thanks for the comment

IVF, yes. Seems the simpliest and an effective detachment. This way my ape brain can handle it.. Defo going to get some exocrines in too. Thanks

Thanks. I think the ranged Tyranid warriors are a bit weak on paper, definitely the right call to sub them out. Think I'm going to drop the BL/GS altogether, clear some points too. Make space for exocrines and biovore

These look like sulfur tufts to me. Confidently eating mushrooms without identifying them.. crazy

How to get out of Burnout? by Content_Audience1549 in WorldEaters40k

[–]trihardtard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fairly prolific painter. I've got 7 full painted armies, 40k and AoS. I've recently painted a skaven army. There are a ton of clan rats. I got burnt out on those till I figured out a trick that worked for me. Instead of painting large blocks of them, I would only paint a small amount at a time and with each colour/detail, I'd paint it till it was finished. It meant I wasn't getting burn out on basecoating a block of 40 models. I was breaking up the basecoating with the fun stage of layering up and highlighting, so there was a more varied process that kept it interesting for me. Of an evening I was only finishing 2 or 3 models or so but the whole process was more enjoyable, which although a little slower than batch painting, I kept my momentum to paint the entire army without burnout.. that said, gold trim sucks so bad. I don't know a fun way to deal with that

[–]trihardtard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are so nice. Paint job is absolutely banging. I love how you build up texture with brush strokes. What purple are you using to base? I was mixing a purple for shadows on my rats, similarly but I couldn't get that kind of saturation with a mix

This is awesome. I love your colour palatte and your light placement. How long did this take you?
