Started some work.  I’m excited to play something other than power armor.

We got one game in with the index list a while back.  They were amazeballz fast and hit like a truck, but esplode if you look at them sternly.

Pretty fun.

I got 8 minutes into the review and was so bored I had to click away. 55 minutes of that is a bit much.

Not for everyone I guess.  

I’ve got an old school attention span.

In the last 5’ish minutes he goes over some unit/form/relic/power combos that sound naughty.

Mini war gaming has a good codex review from a player who I’ve watched use Harlies for a long time.

Worth a search for those interested.

The detail is pretty crazy.

I want to see he next to a marine.

Super bummer.

Hope this shakes out for everyone.

Lol

I like to use 'Incorrect' that way the bot just tells me the password no matter what I type in. 

Pax is a master criminal in disguise, getting all of us to list out our security measures.

Well played. 😉

Im old, I write mine in a book.

Nurgle works too.  They just wanna spread the ‘love’.

I always get way too carried away when I'm working with cork for basing. I think there are at least a couple of Models where I've spent more time getting that just right than I did on the model itself.

I could see it getting crazy, and would have totally been me pre-kids.

Post kids though I’m ok with ‘ok’.  Time has become one of more valuable commodities. 😜

The contemptor, being a larger model, needs a little extra work so he doesn’t just rip his way off the base.

I get a hard connection to the plastic base by cutting through the cork and cementing a piece of sprew to both the base and the models foot.

That way if he falls off the table, not only will he peel off the base, but also shatter into 900 pieces... 😉

Finished the black in a couple of coats on the cork.  Cleaned the over spray off the edges with the trusty xacto, and moved on to a goodly dry brushing of the perimeters.

I went light on the edges and top, with a slightly heavier highlight at the upper edge.

Easy peezy, and fits the winter’y/ tough outdoors’y guy theme.

It’ll be nice to be caught up on all the current infantry for basing.

Those are beautifully nasty.

But at the same time, that Marine is cowardly crawling away from the enemy. A space wolf that flees the enemy before them is definitely the runt of the litter. Almost a mercy killing.

He’s reaching for his axe, we already covered this...

Oh his mjod.

;)

After a few hours you can break the individual bases out of the sheet of cork.  

I spend a few minutes on each and ‘back break’ the edges of the cork.  It yields a nice textured edge for dry brushing later.

Once I’ve cleaned up all the bases I’m left with a goodly pile of cork.  At this point you could get pretty creative in stacking up some extra bits to add some vertical features to the bases.  Fortunately for me I’m extremely lazy...  ;)

Everything bags up for a trip to the garage for a few base coats of black.

Spent some time with the Wolves this weekend.

I removed the bases from the models that needed cork added, and cleaned their feet with a razor for good bond to the finished product later.

Using some bulk super glue from tammies I did the swirl pattern on the base for the cork to stick to.  In this phase I leave the glue a little back from the edge so I can pull the outside edges apart and give a nice rough ‘shattered’ texture to make it look more like stone.

Glued all the bases down and put the whole sheet of cork under some books to keep pressure for a few hours while the glue sets up.

More to come.

Have a good weekend.

If models share a faction key word they could all plug into a battle forged detachment(s).

To my knowledge.

Looks awesome!

The sharks are pretty spiffy fluff wise.  

There is a good fan fiction about a war shoal collecting recruits from a fleet they hit.  

Pretty good stuff.

Welp, looks like I'm going to be buying a FW Primarch.

It’s not really him.  ;)

Looks really good.  

The wolf must be reaching for his axe.

Pm’d as well.

Next up will be cork bases for the dread and some packs I’ve been lazy on.

Done with paint.  I’m happy with how he turned out, but bummed for the motivation to finish him up.

I’ll be dedicating this one to Brand.

Brand was a young space wolf fan in the UK who just recently lost a long term fight with cancer.  

His passing is recent, and for any interested in his story or helping his family through go fund me you can find:

The gaming community has petitioned GW to add him to the upcoming codex, and it’s rumored they have agreed.  It would be pretty classy on their part if it came to pass.  

Silver lining.

I feel like I need to eat popcorn while I read this thread, and that in two years I could reread it like an old fav movie :)

Safe travels.

Sisters/marines: Perfect Circle, Judith (renholder remix).

How do we really?

Like really really.

Know we actually exist?...

The answer is bacon.

What were the issues with the 1k sons?

The list looks good with plenty of bodies/MSU targets.  Lots of obsec and armor to get in the way.

Most of my lists would have trouble just dealing with the number of units you put on the table by the end of the game.
