    I've used some sepia inks in places where I want the gold to be a little more aged or worn, and I've used several coats of it for things like my Sagittarum squad's weapons and the "engine bitz" on the backside of the terminators and my dreadnought. My lousy photographs don't really capture the real look of the models well... 

    I’m also kinda trying to threat the eye of the needle here. On the one hand, I want my army to look like a solid wall of the shiniest of shiny gold. Because that’s the Custodes’ whole schtick. On the other hand, I want them to look like I did more than just spray paint them gold and slap them on the table. (Because I did! I really did! There’s at least three gold paints on every guy, plus accent colors and gemstones, and the Vallejo Liquid Gold that makes the main body so smooth and shiny is kind of a PITA to work with.)

    Oh, yeah, I know all too well how the photography can let down something that looks great in person. Carry on!

    I've always found double shooting dreads to have huge weak spots as a result. I've always wanted a crushing combat attack. You pay a fair chunk of points for those attacks might as well make them mean something.

    Also, smashing things in close combat with giant stompy robots is fun. So is blasting things with their guns, but it's best when you get to do both!

  3. Even if I don't jump in, thank you so much for the TTS tutorial. I'll let you know soon if I'm in or not.

    I feel you there. It is far better to play on the table but some people who want to join in wont take the risks to go out so some people may only be played by TTS

    Also, some of us are a couple hundred miles away, and can't make it to WOW on the regular 😉

    All songs are, in fact, covers of 4’33” by American composer John Cage. Some take more liberties than others in changing the lyrics, chords, or duration.

    This is true even in the case of songs that were written before Cage composed 4'33"!

    The plus to dice roll on wound is kind of amazing. I'd take plenty of extra little characters just to be able to support your units with those extra attacks.

    Also, that actually applies more broadly than it first appears. It kicks in any turn you get Charged, even if you were already locked in combat before that. So if your Opponent tries to bring reinforcements into the combat, you get the Wound bonus again, which is pretty brutal.

    As long as you wear a mask Ordo is taking all precautions available. Not many come to game night from what I can tell so potential of exposure is not high. Especially with Oregon numbers overall not being huge. 

     

    I can show you how to use TTS. I am going to be putting a thread on this over the next few days and run people through some small 25 PL games. I will be walking people through how to set up their army and how to set a game up. It is overall simple but there are a few steps.

     

    The nice thing Count is that your Crusade Order of Battle can encompass ALL of those factions. You set up 50 PL of units and can add more as you go. I will be doing a post on this as well. 

     

    What would be your main faction?

    Y'know... If this is primarily on TTS, I could actually join in for once. Probably AdMech, I've been playing a ton of WH40K: Mechanicus and it's got me really grooving on them.

    @WestRider Does 3p today work?  Please advise.

    Sorry, I hadn't managed to make it to the forum until now today. Send me a PM, because those ping my email and I'll see them even if I haven't checked the forum. At this point, today does not work, sorry.
