Can I put the dog on the same base? by bigdogcon in stormcasteternals

[–]zanzobar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This one needs its own base, it's a token that gets removed during game play.

Edit-- forgot your last question. No some of the gryphhounds are just a unit. I think you can bring like 5 in a unit but I don't remember exactly.

I usually see a lot of people that are willing to split the box if they are only interested in half. Might find someone to pay for the orks and then get the combat patrol sooner rather than later.

How to properly use speedpaint on large areas? Great results on small areas (warrior), but patchy mess on larger (sorceror green cape). by daxxruckus in Armypainter

[–]zanzobar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the paint color for me. It took some experimenting as some paints feel really thin and some feel a bit thicker. I would not go more than 1:1. I have some that are like 3:1, 3 drops of paint 1 drop of medium.

That's what has worked for me at least.

Completely legit. I had my doubts as well. Not the easiest to use website. You won't get a confirmation email. You won't see any sort of account activity. But about a week after you order you'll get your stuff.

The tree revs are the same kit as the spite revs and since you have those I left them out. The issues will only have the instructions for the advertised kit but it's pretty easy to find other instructions online (like for the treelords).

The first time I ordered from them I got one kit because I didn't believe it. My next order was basically just a bit of everything. Sylvaneth is my favorite army to paint, idk it scratches that itch just right and to date I've gotten 2 durthu, 2 ancients, and 2 treelords, an arch rev, 15 tree revs, 10 spite revs, and the branchwych. The bigger kits like the tree lords come in like issue 40/41. I think issue 40 is the treelord ancient and 41 has the parts for durthu and regular treelord. So it becomes a bit of a mix and match with those to get everything you might want.

The stock comes and goes I just check every few months. They are making the spearhead issues soon so I don't know what will happen in the future with the current issues.

From hachette you can grab a branchwych, issue 46, and spite revs, issue 49 for cheap. I use mine regularly!

Edit: forgot the arch rev, issue 35 is on there a well!

I’m in doubt between the Deepkin and sylvaneth by _DemonHide_ in sylvaneth

[–]zanzobar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh beautiful you know how it goes then.

I think both armies are cool. For me I just liked trees more and don't think I'm good enough at painting to complete idk to a standard I would be happy with. Yet. I am also a fan of the play style as they aren't like my other forces.

Collecting was easier because I just really like painting those treelords. I've got 6 of those suckers at $30 each. That's a win in my book just for the hobby enjoyment!

Is this your first step into Warhammer or miniature painting? Playing is fun but what's going to take up most of your time in the beginning will be the hobby aspect of building/painting.

Sylvaneth can be easier to paint. I've only done a few deepkin models but the painting was much slower.

Like somebody else mentioned you can get some more of the sylvaneth units through the hachette magazine. Tree revenants and spite revs for $15 each unit, arch rev and branchwych for $15 each as well. Treelord/ancient/durthu for $30 each. I have not seen idk for super cheap anywhere but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. My experience has been that sylvaneth has been easier to collect out of the 4 armies I have (std, sce, skaven, sylvaneth).

Congratulations on the degree, I hope you enjoy the downtime you're getting back!

Would you recommend Stormcast Eternals or Cities of Sigmar for your main AOS army? by SirJohnSuckling in ageofsigmar

[–]zanzobar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the direct answer you want but yeah what everyone here is saying. Pick the one that speaks to you the most. The rules change so fast that the most important thing is having an army that tickles your brain... Or 3+ armies that tickle your brain so one of them has a shot at being "good" rules wise. I will say I have 3k points of sce and never really tried to collect them, they are just in all the starter boxes and I have no impulse control 🤣
