I didn't even notice those moldlines until I had made the picture... I don't want to ruin the white armour by scraping it off now.
Oh god no, don't touch it now, just something to bear in mind for the future.I didn't even notice those moldlines until I had made the picture... I don't want to ruin the white armour by scraping it off now.
I'm tempted to kitbash some Legion Serfs with brushes, washcloths, buckets of soapy water and fresh paint to thematically explain why my Emperor's Children look pristine.
some mud, grime and dirt, wouldn't look right if the tanks look like they just rolled out from the factory
There is of course an official model who's entire job it is to clean up all the messI'm tempted to kitbash some Legion Serfs with brushes, washcloths, buckets of soapy water and fresh paint to thematically explain why my Emperor's Children look pristine.
The Salamanders I plan on making after will be getting the grimy weathering treatment though.
Tanks done:

Over a decade ago. Today however you can buy all kinds of incredibly easy to use and beautifully looking diorama textures. I would recommend the AK Interactive's Diorama catalogueAnyone ever did some snow bases?
Thanks ill take a look on how to use them. Ive also seen this, which would be cheap:Over a decade ago. Today however you can buy all kinds of incredibly easy to use and beautifully looking diorama textures. I would recommend the AK Interactive's Diorama catalogue
Powder snow
Thick heavy snow
Thin heavy snow
They look really good, the only thing is that I would paint the nipples a different shade.One squad of gluttons done
Yep, I agree. Lots of little details I want to come back to after I'm done with the whole 2k OPR army. It was supposed to be a rushed speedpaint job and I find myself painting a few hours every night lately lolThey look really good, the only thing is that I would paint the nipples a different shade.
Well done! Did you use the new codex or were the organisers still asking guard players to keep using the oldest codex still in active use? Who did you play against and how did your matches go?I went to my first casual tournament in 15 years. The organizer asked us to put together some fun, not totally busted, lists so I obliged and played a very unoptimized Guard. Even then I managed to score a respectable 5th place out of 12.
Arrright, so regarding the new codex first. The books are only available via the new box set which has been arriving here for the past 2 weeks, most people got it Wednesday last week but since I play Steel Legion there really isn't anything worth anything in that box aside from the book and I personally don't like the cover so I'll wait for the normal one. The organizer said he'll give us a definitive answer by Sunday (the day of the tournament) but he never did and he didn't ask me to rebuild my list which I submitted so I played with the old codex, naming my army appropriately "The Last Hurrah". Nobody else played the Guard so it wasn't an issue.Well done! Did you use the new codex or were the organisers still asking guard players to keep using the oldest codex still in active use?

Doesn't work without them, the Khan for example has a metal body that seriously unbalances him on the plastic bike, no chance he'd stand upright without a base. Most of the others have also a tendency of falling over without base, their tyres are just too round.Bikes on bases, yuck!
I just haven't seen that before honestly.Doesn't work without them, the Khan for example has a metal body that seriously unbalances him on the plastic bike, no chance he'd stand upright without a base.

Two boxes and you've got yourself an army. I'm trying to get two boxes, don't know if it'll be possibleThe Knights box is pretty much an army by itself, in that sense similar to the Custodes box that also gives quite a lot of points per pound.
This is Warhammer, everything is on a base I'm somewhat surprised tanks haven't been placed on bases yet, albeit some Ork buggies already are...I just haven't seen that before honestly.

I want to paint them all traitor legions, heresy style.
Hell no to vehicles on bases, that just looks fucking terrible. Back in the days Flames of War had vehicles on bases and it just looks so stupid.This is Warhammer, everything is on a base I'm somewhat surprised tanks haven't been placed on bases yet, albeit some Ork buggies already are...

That is just pure hell. Compare it to this
Anyway, I looked on the web and some people put bikes on bases and others don't so I suppose it is down to individual taste.
Those bulbous ones? Doesn't that make the model float or is there enough room to make it look normal?tbh I always just glued those same clear circular bases used for flying units (landspeeders, grav tanks, etc) onto the bottom of bikes (and certain Warhammer chariots and beasts). Helps give more stability to those long, narrow, top-heavy units .

Just pre-ordered them from my LGS, with their usual 15% off. 221$ cad each box, that's a steal, the big knights are going at 170$ on their ownIf you're good with hitting the refresh button this Saturday at 10am on your online retailer of choice you should have a good chance
