Second for playing with fully painted armies and no bare resin.

Does anyone remember which sculptor was jacking off about Sanguinius? I want to know what other models he has made.

Well I can say for absolute certainty that atrapos are fucking overpowered, Jesus

>>52252052
Hell yeah.

>>52252315
Makes me wonder if we overestimated Thousand Sons. What'd he run? What'd you run? How do the bikes work for you?

>>52252052
>no decals
>"fully painted"
bruh

>>52252315
See, thousand sons are not actually broken, they're costed pretty heavily and have actual drawbacks. I havent seen magnus take the field yet, only a pride list with Ahriman, but i'm tempted to agree with the doomsayers in that Magnus will be broken enough to centralise competitive gameplay. Which doesnt matter to me, since i dont do tournaments.

>>52252052

Son. I am disappoint. It's like making Death Guard that don't look like they've been dunked in the septic tank.

>>52252462
I think a lot of the initial panic over Sekhmets was due to thinking that "may choose its powers from the Telekinesis or Pyromancy disciplines" meant they didn't have to roll. But they're the same base price as Justaerin (which surely no one disputes are top-tier after the latest red book) and cheaper to take more than 5. Sekhmets lose -1 WS, Furious Charge, and Implacable Advance but gain force weapons and psychic powers. I still think they're undercosted.

The rest of the army (Magnus excepted) seems like it's costed fine.

>>52252753
Yeah, choosing powers was the really over-the-top thing for sekhmets, now they're merely really good instead of leaving all competition in the dust, which i have no problem with unless someones spamming 40 of them. Blade Cult and their scouts seem fine, sekhmets are great, and their characters are better than generic equivalents simply because they dont pay 75 points on top of being a base praetor and gear.

>>52252172
I remember Angron, from a previous thread because he's one of my favorite Primarch models out so far.

>>52247177
I'm being dense, can anyone explain how bananas can become impossible to hit? I can see how they get it down to 5+ (most marines hit them on 4s, then -1 for the shield) but can't work out how they lower things further.

Are there any pics of what the plastic Chaos Space Marine/Khorne Berserker armour (Anvilus Mark V?) looks like "de-chaosified"? Do you think FW will ever make sets of them like they did for the other marks?
And is there fluff in the modern Horus Heresy books about the pattern of backpacks the Berzerkers have, like there is for the mainstream CSM backpacks?

>>52253292
Its in reference to invisibility, which forces everything to ws1 in CC, so hitting on sixes, i.e. hitting on sevens. So some smug asswipe is probably going to try to bring a shield tribune, a Knight Errant psyker and a full unit of shield Hets to a tournament and claim them unhittable

>>52253339
Ah, gotcha.
>once again, superfriends ruins everything

>>52253402
Not really, its just a case of Invisibility being hilariously broken, once again.

>>52253339
Seems like a waste, since when is a full squad of Hets + Shield Captain going to loose CC anyway?
And that's ignoring the fact that that's ~1300 hundred points

>>52252052
fuark good table m8-e

>>52252052
I still think the deredeo looks like it's doing the robot dance.

Huge 6v6 battle to end 30k campaign has been played. Was quite the battle with 3000 points per person.

Some highlights from my area of the battlefield :
>Despite my veterans shooting it with meltaguns and the laser-destroyer rapiers firing at it, an enemy contemptor survives with a single hullpoint. Only to be blown up by the opponents own deathstorm drop pod next turn. Just as planned.
>One of my Tactical squads is wiped out except for a single marine by the opponents MoS bombardment. This was the squad which I used Alpharius' One Of Many rule on, so that last marine was actually Alpharius.
>Alpharius joins the remains of one of my veteran squads. They charge an enemy tactical squad and wipe it out, losing every veteran but the sergant in the process.
>In the enemy shooting phase Alpharius and the sergant are shot at. Because the sergant is the closest model, I try to LO,S! the hit to Alpharius to keep the sergant alive. Every single LO,S! roll fails ... but every single armoursave is passed.
>Alpharius joins a tactical squad and goes off to clean up the remaining marines of the opponent. The lone sergant continues on to kill a landspeeder, the deathstorm drop pod, survive being shot at by a meltagun wielding marine and being charged by said marine, after which he crushes him with his powerfist. At the end of the battle, the sergant is still alive.
>One of my tactical squads that arrives a bit late from reserves actually happens to be at the right place at the right time, as they could deploy in the ideal position to prevent terminators charging out of a darkwing storm eagle from charging my allies' knight porphyrion.
>The same tactical squad then kills 5 enemy WE tactical marines with their bolters, stabs the WE praetor to death whilst only losing their sergant after being charged, and kill 2 of the terminators that came out of the darkwing.

>>52252052

Next level will be no plastic.

This one's actually hard as fuck since a lot of FW kits use some plastic.

>>52253685
Going to give some units that did an outstanding job last apocalypse battle some honour markings. Maybe even going to promote one of my tactical squads to veterans, because they've been tearing through opposing forces lately.

>>52253769
No what I meant is using a darker bronze on the lower areas to create more depth. On the dread and tank you can also see that it still looks like a flat gold surface. But giving large gold models a painting scheme that is interesting to look at is difficult.

>>52252052
Anon, these look amazing.

>>52253722
You have built, assembled and painted these in the time I painted two kroot and a crisis suit. Kill me.

Does Raptor Imperialis represent 'fought in Unification War' or 'fought alongside the Emperor himself?'

Because I found Loken having Raptor Imperialis on his right arm.

>>52253646
You gotta name the sarge and promote him
You gotta promote that squad to Vets

>>52252753
Really? I thought Justaerins were meh tier, below Firedrakes and Tyrants.

>>52253685
I am fucking about building all of my Knight's weapons while trying not to glue any parts that I'm going to need to modify to magnetise. Can Mechanicum use a Knight Warden in their LoW, or has the red book not being updated to include those yet stopped me taking one?

>>52253956
tyrants are shooty and 1w so hard to compare, but Justaerin are just below firedrakes, they're much more killy but less tough, especially in fights where ID is being thrown around

>>52253537
or waving hello to its friend.

"Salutations battlebrother!"

>>52254015
desu I don't really thing it matters if they have 1 or 2 wounds, with powerfists they get smoshed regardless.

Does anybody here use the Armored Spearhead? I am considering running it with Tsons.

>>52254104
Oh it does matter, as 1w powerfist terminators vs 2w powerfist terminators almost always means the 2w terminators lose combat due to losing a higher number of wounds, even if they kill more of the 1w terminators.

I think I know who's the REAL Alpharius here

>>52254195
Tuh mook?

>>52254161
i am actually curious as to how you come to that conclusion when sekhmets were not even mentioned, but you're just shitposting anyway

>>52253920
Alongside the Emperor Himself. I'm phoneposting, but many examples can be found in the Fists section in HH3. Hillariously, that'd mean Khârn has it too, since he fought alongside Him and Perturabo when he was young.
Perhaps it only applies to Emperor-led Unification campaigns, though.

>>52253920
Raptor Imperialis indicates unification actions. It predates the Legions personal heraldry as the first universal symbol of the Legions.

It began with the Thunder Legion who bore it originally, then was carried by the earliest Legions participating in the conflict.

>>52252052
> Looks at army
> reads comments
Ok. I'll bite.
Anon that army looks lazy as fuck.
Do you want a pat on the back for three colors and a wash, with no attempt at a fucking highlight?
Or bases that are summed up as 'glob GW technical on base, Job complete?'
You must be a millennial or something, hoping for praise even after doing a pissed poor mediocre job. Step your fucking game up.
Also the ONE bare head I could see in the pick looks fucking horrible jesus

>>52254202
I play Space Wolves

>>52254208
Nope, it's just the iconography that was borne during the unification wars. Predates the Legions taking their own iconography.

Rim needs tidied up and the base just needs a dark brown base colour done under the technical paint.

IMHO

>>52253685
My Maw Crusha. Then the work on my own DG begins....

>>52254161
>>52254015
Why do Justaerin have two wounds anyway? Why do Gorgons LACK two wounds?
I mean, Justaerin were given two wounds just because they were so expensive. Perhaps their cost should have been further decreased

>>52254249
somehow I never noticed that the legions who's primarch lost his head has a terminator elite named after a mythical monster that lost her head. somehow I got that reference with his title, despite them being the same name.

>>52253722
You can still seem 'em anon, you just have to REALLY zoom in.
You did a pretty good job. Loving the clean gold, and that grav tank is boss

>>52254243
And the model!? Be critical of that too damn it, I've gotten positive response but only a few teneble suggestions for improvement. I'm currently going to be dry brushing a highlight of Fulgurite copper over these.

>>52254126
It matters because more survive the fire they receive moving into combat, so you get more guys that can swing

>>52253722
Very nice. Have you had a chance to use 'em yet?
If so, how'd you do?

>>52254202
I did exaggerate, but thing is TS are powerful already and are still subjected to the power creep that is HH7, regardless of whether or not we mention Sekhmets.
Seeeekmeeeets

>>52254243
And outside of one autist telling me about how that couldn't be a Thunder Warrior because all Thunder Warriors where blue I received positive comments all around with just a singular suggestion to highlight with fulgurite copper and maybe add some bits to the bases.

I have another base that has Typhus corrosion beneath it, the texture magnified the drying effect of the Martian iron earth.

>>52254260
Did you notice that while playing HEAD OF THE FERRU- I MEAN OF THE GORGON?

>>52254291
>>52254264
That's not true, a few people (myself included) said it looks over-weathered, to the point that the armour looks like its seized up and wouldn't actually be able to move. You just ignored those remarks because you didn't like them. "Positive comments all around" indeed.

>>52254275
sorry, my friendly meta is filled with spooky D-ghosts, so I don't survive any better with more wounds :^)

>>52254293
at that point it just feels like being beaten over the head with it.

>>52254284

They are powerful, that is true. but i feel they took a page from Tzeenchian Chaos armies in Fantasy 6th Ed with very much the same drawbacks, low numbers and no way to prevent mindbullets going wrong, the upside being that they are capable of unleashing some of the largest barrages of powers in the game (again, much like 6th Fantasy Tzeentch WoC)

My only real gripe is that Magnus is underpriced, Sekmets need to lose their picking powers and the Court of the Crimson king needs to reworked. Other then that, i feel they are mostly fine.

>>52254308
im trying to push a corrosion via radiation/+ crazy technology that's corrupted the war zone too.

The overall mental image is of a small band of Thunder Warriors that have fought theough and escaped the culling that also have a few progenoid glands to make more Thunder Warriors.

I wanted to press that feeling of weathering through unknown means. Yeah?

There aren't any clear replications of that sort of effect. So when you say that the armor looks weathered to the point of seizing and being non functional, the overall intent was to create that sort of
Impression. It's an objective victory, now to push the theme I want and make it believable is where I'm looking for further criticism. I do apologize for the positive marks comment. I'm looking to further stamp the idea out and need advice Anon,

>>52254350
Carlos, Ferrus' viking haircut is no joking matter

>>52253722

Dreadnought needs a few non-gold bits of armour, it's a bit too monotone as is.

>>52254473

They have a third of the firepower of their points in marine devastators.

Custodes low model count means you have to be pretty ruthless in list design to not fuck yourself over, and these dudes just don't make the cut.

A combination of Cadian Goggles + top knot, cadian + Rebreather+ top knot, MkII with top knot, MKIII with top knot. I'm experimenting with using Age of sigmar chaos Warriors plate legs + leather boots for some of the models as well.

All models will be receiving a MKII or MKIII shoulder pad with the raptor imperialis. (I'm casting these myself)

>>52254374
Your unfinished test model that you keep posting looks like a very uncared-for bronze sculpture. It does not look like it could be a real suit of armour that could move, or be of any protection further than old bronze. The crackle base is a decently different colour shade (could do with looking more like real ground though) but the crackle just adds to the impression of your mini being something that's stood still and went to fuck for a very long time.

So, the positive comment from me is that you have successfully painted and based something that looks like a lump of old metal.
A negative consequence however, is that it doesn't look like a cool PA model and I fear a whole army will look stupid, especially larger models.

Also, fucking finish it. Half done test models are almost worst than unpainted ones that get posted like we're supposed to be impressed someone can glue objects together.

>>52252052
>fully painted
>No washes, highlights, details

I mean, I'm not close to fully painted yet myself, but at least what I do have painted is more than base coats.

>>52254756

>>52254599

>>52254756
Thank you for your honesty though! That's exactly what I asked for and now I have a few solid ideas for course correcting.

>>52252052
Needs more chainaxe.
Other than that, much better than anything I've done. Could use some blood splatters, as everyone else has said, but I quite like the bases. The black rim look is always a good choice.

It will only work from certain angles.
It will help it looks like glass though

>>52254990
Damn it. Do you think it would be possible to fenangle purple lenses with ard coat?

The base coat I've used HAS purple pigment in it, I'm thinking maybe if I shade with druchiu violet and tie in with purple or blue lenses I can reinforce the theme I'm going for

If there's a purple glaze, you can most likely get away with using that over a white base.

It honestly just looks spray painted gold then base coated.

The tank looks gorgeous though!

The army's tabletop-worthy. It's not something to write home about, especially the lazy job with berzerkers, and yeah KA likes to post his stuff more often than most of us (probably because our armies are still mostly on sprues) but the guy's army's pretty much done and it's certainly better than graymarines.

Oh shit forgot to add pic.

Still building up my Dangles army, started at 1500 and finished a few 2500 last night. Been working with Ironwing Protocol and I've been doing real well so far. I've been keeping my Heavy Support slots filled with Vindicators, Predators and a Leviathan and it's time I'm trying to switch things up.

Is a squadron of Land Raiders worth working into my list? I have some Tactical Support Squads sitting around, thinking about giving them plasma repeaters and sticking them in a Proteus with my melee Veterans in a Phobos.

The BS bump is nice and all but I have some reserves. Should I sink my points into a squad of Raiders or should I look else where?

>>52254780
I'd suggest doing one to completion before beginning the batch painting process. Cant really tell if a model will come together until its done and no point wasting all that time painting an army hoping it will look good once all the batch painting is finished

>>52255920
First off if you painted that Marine great job it's awesome.
Second javelin speeders are great now after the points drop. They should do fine killing all the light vehicles and artillery.
The dorito seems out of place... and why even pay for the vexilla in SA, you HAVE to reroll the highest dice if you fail a test to begin with... it's like a free vex anyways.

>>52256217

I find the flesh of newborns is easiest to sculpt into Gal Vorbak, though as always the really tricky part is getting it to hold it's shape as you mummify it to avoid rotting.

>>52254234

>>52256330
No, it's not mine, I don't even play SA. I'm helping a friend get into HH.

I see what you mean with the Dorito, any ideas for replacements? Though as is it's a good source of AA and removing pretty much any light ground forces, though perhaps redundant with all the other stuff. He just likes Dreadnoughts, and a Leviathan seemed overkill.

I love Javelins, and they're fantastic, but my point is more that it's 200-something burgerbucks for 3 models that can easily get ruined by a new player.

Also good point about the vexilla. I'll just give the MEQs meltabombs instead

>>52256351

Hmmmmm, approximately what consistency should the flesh of the newborn be? How soft am I looking for?

Should the newborn have eczema or rough skin to further simulate texture?

>>52256460

No no, you don't use the skin, you flay the baby and use the meat underneath.

Didn't you watch Duncan's tutorial?

>>52251796
Are Talons of the Emperor a viable army? Or are they seen like newbies who use the BaC/BoP plastics? The idea of a low model count, but super deadly force appeals to me for a side army.

Anyone know where I can get a good left-handed power fist that looks right used with Custodes?

Wanna make a solerite and Vexillus guy for some sentinels

>>52256624
No one cares.

>>52253956
Firedrakes are the top of the top tier.

Justaerins were garbage until the Age of Darkness red book gave them 2W, and now they're usually thought of as being up there, along with Siege Tyrants.

Or you can compare Sekhmets to Phoenix Terminators, Gorgons, and Lernaeans - that makes the Sekhmets look good for sure.

>>52256549
They're certainly viable, but they're a bit like an All-beepboop or Knight only list where you either stomp effortlessly or get obliterated by anyone prepared with S10 arty and such. You want to avoid shit like 3++ rerollable Tribunes and D-stick Dread spam, but the rest is OK.

>>52256415
You have a dual Kheres Contemptor Mortis. You got AA covered, at least for the normal 'one lightening with all the penetrators' folks bring to kill Spartans.
If he likes dreads go Leviathan. Between two land Raiders full of punchy dudes AND a fat dread rushing forward, the enemy will have to make some tough life choices in target priority. Will also give the speeders time to pop shit, and the Mortis to get into a good mid field position.
Also Machine spirit on the Vindicators if you can. Not!Fast Vindicators scare everything but Flare shielded Spartans.

>>52256763
What do you mean "outside"?

>>52256849
cataphractii or tartaros power fists probably.

>>52256791
>Grab red paint of your choosing
You mean actual blood, right?

>>52255920
I don't play nearly enough games to give good advice, but a couple of things to keep in mind for Salamanders. Vexillas are fairly cornercase thanks to the ability to reroll one of the dice when you fail a leadership check. For your Praetor, it's important to note that he can get a 3++ in artificer armor for 5 points cheaper than teminator armor without trading his gun for the shield. If you really want the terminator command squad then it doesn't matter, but it's something to keep in mind.

>>52255828
Typically not, but >>52255795
exists, and I was more referring to the good 'ole 2nd and 3rd edition GW models. Green bases, baby.

>>52256130

Rerollable 2+ Look Out Sir, 3+ armour, 5+ invuln, rerollable 5+ FnP. Who says we *need* Artificer?

>>52256917

Are they ornate enough though? Do they fit the socket?

>>52254116
Makes sense fluff-wise, but the tank shock bonus is the most useless thing ever. I'd keep the Land Raiders as cheap as possible.

>>52255653
Yeah, they're pretty worth it with Ironwing.

>>52255920
The Tactical squads need Rhinos too. I'd drop the Deredeo to buy them and more weapons that benefit from the RoW. Also, you gotta specify your Land Raider type and support squad weapons.

>>52253722
Yeah, those look very flat, try to get a better picture, otherwise I can't comment a lot. The bases and tank look stellar anyway, but the gold is either too flat or washed out in the pic.

>>52254225
While I agree that three colours plus a wash is extremely lazy, I'm also glad that at least some people post painted armies in here, especially since lately we've been getting a ton of newfags and spergs that bring no models, no contribution, only shitposting. This thread needs more models.

>>52254234
That looks sortra flat and lackluster, it needs some rubble or at least rocks to add more variation and make it interesting.
The model on the other hand needs still a lot of work, as it stands it lacks distinct details, the scheme blends in too much with the base and it's overall messy. There's potential in it though.

>>52254406
Dude, don't drybrush metals, it looks dusty and plain lazy. Try to learn proper highlighting, add scratches and battle damage here and there, that mini looks like a status, as >>52254431 says, and not in a good way.

>>52255795
Looking good m8, lightning could be a bit cleaner.
Is the blue metallic?

>>52256791
That will only give the models some rosy-red splotches all over. For blood effects to work, you need to use a paint that's both got a degree of translucency and gloss, otherwise it just looks like red paint smears, which over the white models will most definitely look pink.

>>52257138

Yep, the plan was basically to run them nearly or completely barebones, and combine this with a very punchy infantry mix.

>>52256857
Gotcha. And how many Custodes/Sisters would I need to fill out a average list for this game?

How do we make bolter sisters interesting?

>>52257212

Discretion being the better part of valour means it's still partly valorous, buddy, and there aren't many forms of cover that are better than one of your brothers in MkIV Power Armour

>>52254473
They're not bad but there are better picks on the Custodes list.

It's a shame cause I really like how they look.

>>52257428
Well, you are likely gonna use them every game, might as well

>>52257428
He did 5 tactical support with flamers once!

>>52257345
I'm not too sure due to not fighting them yet, but the shield dudes are by far the best troop choice, and even with all them you'll be fitting about 35 bodies in a 2k list. If you want a goodly proportion of cool toys, I expect that'd be closer to 25.
You're the undisputed kings of melee, but even with arae-shrikes you won't last long for your points facing down something like a Reductor Vindicator squadron or Dracosans. Oddly enough, the army of T5 W2 2+ 5++ are glass cannon on a tactical level. Get in close fast and pick your targets.

Don't be too hopeful, I heard the current mould is damaged beyond repair, they almost made it sound like a major accident happened to it.
It's possible that since the master is also gone/old they might be debating on whether to cast it again or make the model again from scratch, so I wouldn't trust it being back on stock any soon.

Take all of this with some salt, just saying what I've heard.

If only GW would just make plastic dread pods. Using regular ones for dreads is already silly, since they don't physically fit in there, let alone out of the doors. Contemptors even less so. They should just make pods that are for dreads and thunderfire cannons.

Is it weird that I don't really like the Praetor models? I dunno, I guess it bugs me that you have to buy a seperate weapons kit if you don't want what they're packing.

Guy with the greenstuff on his bases from the previous threads (also, recommendation: if you're going to do something like I did, assemble the model first, and stick it to the base last, using the green stuff while it's still tacky, combined with superglue).

Why.

>>52261914

the Basilisk is essentially a WWI gun mounted a APC chassis.
Starting with the gun, its uses a screw breech, rather then a sliding breech commonly found on modern artillery, this means that the loader cannot load the gun while its in elevation, as such, the gun needs to return a lower elevation, at which point the loader can open the breech, and ram in a new charge and projectile. This essentially brings your rate of fire down from 6-10 rounds per minute a meager 3 or 4 if you are lucky.
Secondly, the Basilisk has a commander a loader and a gunner on the back platform, which means that the loader has to ram in both the projectile, needs to go back, grab the propellant, ram in the propellant, close the breech, elevate the gun and then the gunner fires.
the M109 uses a pair of loaders, one that rams in the shell, and one that rams in the propellant, reducing the time between shots.

Then there is the Tank itself, apart from the mess that is the gun and its system, there is no turret or any form of lateral movement in the gun, which means the gun needs to be aimed by turning around the tank, again, slowing down the maximum rate at which the Basilisk can fire. Secondly, the crew is completely exposed, making it incredibly vulnerable to counter battery fire. Most modern day systems solve this by either an enclosed firing compartment (like the Armageddon pattern), or by being highly mobile, or most commonly, both the Basilisk is neither

>Basilisk
Its main weapon is the Earthshaker Cannon, firing 132mm shells to a range of over fifteen kilometers and a muzzle velocity of 814 m/s.

And again, FW decides to invent fucking butt ugly abortions meant to be jetbikes of their own rather than use excisting artwork of servicable jetbikes.

>>52261873
Not officially, no. But the points values and model make it fairly obvious they it's a replacement. And most English speakers interpret "you may upgrade [the base weapon] with a [new weapon]" as replacement.

I also thought similar thing when I saw this guy and wondered "How this fucker attack an enemy with his sword?"

>>52262385
His saddle is really an interdimensional anus which sucks him in then poops him out so he can connect with his attack then sucks him back in

>>52251796
Next primarch fucking when.

>>52262348
But they gave it a special rule that lets it fire multiple weapons--yet it could only ever have one weapon?

Well I mean his daemon prince horse makes up most of his actual statline, so...

Going by both statblock and appearance he's basically just there to carry artifacts for Dhorgar really.

Plus he failed his mission to destroy the world and got bailed out by a stupid vampire.

From some dude who was at the Weekender:
>Spoke to Alan earlier. Confirmed as typos. Should read Lastrum Bolt Cannon [no such thing as an Iliastus bolt cannon]. Rule that allows them to fire 2 weapons is future proofing.

>>52262811

It will amuse the shit out of me if the released model has both a lance and a arm gun option, released as a PDF file that invalidates the bikes rule page before anyone even gets to use them.

>>52262215
>the loader cannot load the gun while its in elevation

Why is that?

Also, the M109 uses a screw breech. And from what I can read has a rate of fire of 1-4 rounds per minute.

>>52259908
Is that a fucking Battle Cannon on its right battlements? Haha oh wow

So I'm thinking of running a squad of 10 SoS and with bolters and an Oblivion Knight Centura(MC Paragon Blade and Archaeotech Pistol) with my Custodes.

Anyone have any decent experience with them? I figured cheap anti-psyker stuff would be worth it since they can have bodies and hold objectives.

I hope FW will make Imperator Titan model.

It works on multiple levels

It's a Titan, that class transports an entire regiment of Guardsmen or a company of SM with all the accompanying vehicles. Having tank weapons as defense systems makes sense.

>>52262982

It's a big engine.

Just an amusing observation on the sheer scale. Warlords barely have a pair of Lascannons and Bolt Cannons for point-defense. Imperator has a Battle Cannon for that, I'm guessing actually several of them.

Am I blind or can nothing in TotE take Adrathic Exterminators?

>>52263031
It could also be a beefy autocannon.

technically it also has several squads manning the gun ports inside as well

Yeah,I realised that after pressing post. I wouldn't say not to Watson comin back either. At least to have one solid book about Empy not being a massive dickhead.

You know that armor autism chart that's always posted here, did a bad-ass dude from the Ottawa gaming scene (Michel Hubert) make it?

The Yiffer should track down the bad-ass dude from the Ottawa gaming scene (Michel Hubert) then and demand to know why said bad-ass dude is saying he made it.

>>52263059
Maybe, but check the scale - there is what appears to be an access point on the gigantic-ass Gatling gun behind those flowing banners on its right side. Considering also the scale of the people in the foreground, I'd say it's an access point (possibly a big one at that). If you want to get truly theoretical, those statues in the windows next to the BC can't be anything less than human size, and are likely far larger considering this is Warhammer. If they aren't BCs, they are something larger.

>>52263059
beefy autocannons are called macrocannons

>>52263278
The autocannons on the Salamander and Exterminator are quite a bit larger than what you find on regular guardsmen.

Also, at least in old art, you could see some dudes manning those parapets on the titan's shoulders. It's not THAT massive of a structure. So that spotlight on the right shoulder, for example, would be closer to what you find on most vehicles, rather than some huge bat signal.

I want to see the Imperator get a FW makeover. Make it look better than the old art. Compare the old Warlords to FW's new model.

Man that artwork. Back when GW didn't care and gave titans and gargants guns for dicks.

Good times.

Have a look, the breech cannot be opened when the gun is at elevation because the way it hinges and the fact the Chassis is in the way.
The Paladin circumvents this by way of the gun is located in the Turret, which would allow for firing at elevation,

An argument can be made that the M109 is a bit past its prime, given the fact that the modern Euro howitzers far outclass it in terms of rate of fire. (The CEASAR is the exception, but that is literally an icecream truck with a gun, because the French wanted it to be capable of airlifting)

>>52263602
Well then remain the Custodes anon. The tripfag curse is far worse than anything else. We don't need another AWG to fuck things over for everyone.

The original model had them. This isn't a great shot, but it does show an Epic Imperator and a Hydra. Keep in mind the old Epic titans were only ~60% as big as they should have been.

>>52263635
What did he even do? I wasn't around for it. My trip is ancient (8 years) and I only recently started posting again

Art-wise Titans look to fragile and unbalanced, especially their ankles. How are they model-wise? Do you have to give them some support of anything to prevent collapsing / falling over?

>>52263602
>I'm tired of people confusing everyone
Maybe if multiple people didn't post basically identical models and paintjobs with no discussion attached it wouldn't happen.

If your models are memorable and you have good posts attached to them you will become known. That shouldn't be important to you however, not if you're posting here.

My two Warhounds never had an issue. The ball joints are incredibly strong, but it's recommended to use a mixed solution like JB weld to keep them afloat forever.

Same can be said for Reavers and Warlord as long as you don't pose them like an idiot

>>52263538
Heh you make a fair point, I suppose I'm just in a particularly good mood lately. I'm getting back into a hobby I have been away from for 3 years, after having lots of fun in it the 15 before.

>>52263562
And thank you, I love the look of the new Custodes models, and it turns out there's kinda the perfect army for me. The relatively small number let's me take my time and lavish attention on them like I never used to with Imperial Guard or Vampire Counts. Even Lizardmen were a bit tiring to paint up, and sit half-finished much to my shame.

Another 5 Custodes I grabbed off eBay, as well as a Galatus, are on their way. That's when I'm going to get a bit more fancy, decorating the bases with slain and dismembered traitors.

>>52263667
Oh gods, not you again

>>52263621
The Armageddon model doesn't seem to have that problem. And I seem to recall FW selling some upgrade kit for the gun that extended the breech, which would not allow it to pivot that far up. The Krieg version of the gun also doesn't seem to have that problem, so it's just that model, it seems.

>The CEASAR

For a second I thought you were talking about the Swedish(?) gun truck. I watched some documentary about it and what struck me was that the breech closes on a timer, giving the loader a few seconds to pop a new shell in. How long do you think it'll take before someone loses a finger to that thing?

>>52263696
We meet again!
I have no idea what you're on about

>>52263693
I have another Galatus to build and an Achillus on the way with five more Custodes. I feel you on the low model count making it much more helpful.

Just be careful with whatever slain marines you choose; the worst you can do is make the dead models draw more attention than your living ones.

I was about to be disappointed, but then I remembered they haven't released parts for those yet.

>>52263492

Me too although a simple swap on the armor plates would be sufficient to make it a Lucius, the warlords skeleton already nearly looks like one anyway.

>>52263492
All it'd really need is a kit to swap out the armour plates. In the old Apocalypse datasheets there was an image of a Lucius style warlord with Mars style shoulder guns.

>>52263692

Why is it off-yellow?

Does tg have a problem with recasts

I bought some small stuff via FW but was thinking of getting some recast tanks

>>52263726
I'm going to save 10 of the Mk III's from my BoP box for that purpose, with the rest probably being traded to folks at my local store who are grabbing BoP for something other than Sisters and Custodes. What traitor legion's colours I use will be something I decide on later.

One thing I do plan on is have the Galatus stomping down on a traitor marine and killing him, and perhaps have half another laying nearby, cut in half by the sword.

I'll get the Achillus with my tax return, since I'll need to grab the necessary HH game books too, and want to buy everything in one go for free shipping (and FW is also a lot easier to deal with than eBay, if the spear is fucked up out of the box). Was thinking of having him impaling someone on his spear, but that's 'been done'.
