Do you have examples of this technique? I'm not familiar with using satin's or glosses for my models. I typically just paint, then seal with flat finish.

Hopefully soon I will be able to come to game nights again... The little one is getting bigger and I can venture farther from the house.

Here are some photos before washing. You can see the gloss never went away from wet to dry. And yes, that Helverin is in "RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!!!" mode from @apathy aless damn Golden Bananas that exploded the other Helverins.

I bought a can of Army Painter Gun Metal Primer from Guardian Games for $15 a few months back and I painted several Armigers with it. The painting part went the same as any can of quality primer paint: warmed up via hot water, shake for 1-2 min like I was twerking in a rap video, several thin coats, let dry in the garage at 70ish degrees. Results were normal for quality paint, thick coat, even coverage, except for it is a high gloss finish!! Oh gosh a gloss finish on a mini!? That be some Heresy right there...

I have since watched many videos on the Army Painter system and I think the gloss is intentional so their next step, washing, works better. From my little understanding the wash flows better on a gloss surface than a dull surface. I washed and it looks good, and that cut out most of the gloss, just like their system videos tell you.

I have since purchased an airbrush and am spraying everything with that. My next few knights have been primed with Vallejo grey, and I plan on spraying them with Vallejo Gunmetal (lead belcher) tonight or tomorrow if I can get a few min free. 

I know it isn't the same color but you may have the spray can if you want it. I suspect it is 3/4 full and ready to be used.

*cough* *cough* I need a team. Just putting it out there for anyone...

@evil_bryan So a few of my players have asked if old Marines are okay on 25mm bases? Apparently some official thing somewhere I haven't bothered reading says all Marines must be on 32mm...

 

Can we use old school marines in an old-school list on old school bases ie 25mm?

I don't think anyone cares what size as long as they are not modeling for advantage. I have old models on 25mm and new ones on 32mm, both are built with the bases that were supplied. I have been rebasing some of my 25mm stuff to the newer 32mm so they all look the same, but no one cares. My guys take a lascannon to the chest and all die regardless of what size base they rock.

From GW Rule Book FAQ I found:
 

Quote

Q: What are the official rules regarding specific base sizes for specific models (if any)?
A: The rules assume that models are mounted on the base they are supplied with, but it’s entirely fine to mount them on whichever base you think is appropriate. Sometimes, a player may have models in their collection on unusually modelled bases. Some models aren’t supplied with a base at all. In these cases you should always feel free to mount the model on a base of appropriate size if you wish, using models of a similar type as guidance.

...Then again, I was completely sold on the Model before the Rules were even hinted at...

My thoughts exactly on which army I want to paint next! AdMech 2020 is my slogan. I wanted to do an all Mechanized Space Marine army, but after 4 Rhinos I got tired of the looks and meh stats. These beach landers fit my idea of a "fun" army. We will see.

If your Fallout zone kills at least two of your own models – 2 points

"Sir, are you sure the deep strike coordinates are correct? That is a radioactive zone. We will surely perish before we shoot!"

"...Perhaps perish, like a 50/50 chance at best."

"..."

"..."

Dunerider 65pts+2+2+4=73 points

12 s4 d1 shots/turn hitting on a 3+

Disintegrator 85pts+2+2+2+25=116 points

6 s4 d1 shots, d6 s7 -2ap d3d, and 3 s8 -3ap 3d with the option of a 3d3 s6 -1ap 2d no line of sight swap.

Thoughts?

They seems pretty awesome without allies, but I am on the receiving end. But 2-3 of their models can cost as much as a Loyal 32 Detachment, so they should be pretty self reliant. 

I want to get into AdMech next, like next year or so. Love their looks but I read their playstyle is like Grey Knights, you have to love them.

Custodes seem pretty durable. 2+ 3++-4++, 3-7 wounds, 5-6 toughness, -1 to hit banners. Last game I only removed a few models compared to 1/3rd of my army!

Is there a link to sign up for the doubles on Friday?

@apathy ales and I also played this mission on Friday for a few turns. We also used 2 markers for the smoke trail. Most of the first 2 turns @apathy ales's units were -2 to hit(-1 smoke, -1 relic banner)!

My thought would be to increase the points for the objectives(+2 points at the end of the game per objective, or +1 point per battle round if you control more objectives than your opponent maybe), and make the shoot through smoke mechanism +1 point per unit destroyed through smoke. This would change the way I would deploy my screens that are easy to kill. But the mission is fun the way it is too no changes needed! 

So far in my test games my Vindicare Assassin has yet to do anything! The best photographs from the game have been of how s/he keeps getting killed. Last game s/he was ran over by a set of Golden Jetbikes in a ruin. Game before that a turn 2 charge into my deployment zone from a floating(well maybe levitating is a better word) Blood Angel HQ laid the Assassin to waste...

Anyone have any success with a Assassins and which one?

A Knight Crusader with Gatling Cannon and Melta Cannon, with two Armiger Helverins.

I am a newbie, after a 6 edition break I am playing again. Trying to build a OFCC list I was very politely and tactfully told that my larger knights might not be "fun" at OFCC this year so I should focus on other units. I would love to bring one of mine since I will lose no matter what, and I am sure killing a huge space robot would be fun for my opponents bragging rights, but hey whatever lol. 

I love Battlescribe. If you need any help I can try and answer any questions. Again, I am new at this but I play around with Battlescribe seemingly everyday.

Bonus Scoring:

If you killed a non-vehicle model while shooting in Low Visibility – 1 Point

Do you mean point per model or per unit? Per model might get crazy!
