Ish Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Obviously, in order to fight a Vulture, you need a looted Vulture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't think flyers present a major threat to orks now that orks have that dakka rule (unless the ork player is pure melee). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can block of a good 1/3 of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPaceORK Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Heck yea! Third gallant. I do like the dual swords for a conversion. It's not that green in reality though... Also he has some vulture friends that are next on the table for paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe name both weapons and give one a reference to it being a fist/gauntlet in the name. Like "Hand of the Titan" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like "Hand of the Titan" Well I did paint them two different colors so if it comes up Green Sword is "Smash" and Purple is "Sweep". But since weapons cant be removed and my list says three Gallants I dont think there should much confusion. That and my handwriting is terrible. So I cant imagine my hand-paint-writing is going to be any better. Also I'm pretty sure I've never actually used the gantlet. Leg kicks 75% of the time and chainsword the other times.

Aren't you using an Airbrush? Stencils seem like the easy route anyway, and I'd imagine stencils for basic letters are pretty easy to acquire.

Ish Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yes, but you don’t want “basic” letters. You want fancy gothic minuscule font for that proper grimdark feel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably easier to use waterslide transfer paper and a trusty inkjet printer. Then you can just grab one of the seventeen gajillion free fonts on the Internet, play around with the pica size, kerning, and typeface in WordPerfect until you’re happy with it and print.

xRUBEx Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I feel you should take the unused gauntlet and hollow it out like a baseball glove so you can slide it over the tip of the chainsword.. for when "clarity" is an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceORK Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Or I can just leave it be? I mean I cannot fathom a time someone would get confused as to the loadout. "What are you playing today?" "Three Gallants" "That one has two chainswords" "Yea I know. It's a conversion. It looks cool. Would you like to look at a rulebook to refresh yourself on the Gallant rules?" In a tournament, I just say it's a Gallant and I'm 95% they know the rules. In casual, I just say it's a Gallant and I can show them the rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have all kinds of problems using decals, then I got turned on to the miracle in a bottle (well, two bottles) that is Micro Sol and Micro Set.

Ohhhh I have Sol! Only way to get decals on a curved surface. Micro Set I dont know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Micro Set is applied to the surface that you'll be putting the transfer on, prior to applying it. I don't pretend to understand all the chemistry behind it, but it sort of moistens the area, breaks up residual oils (like from your fingertips), and has some kind of chemical reaction with the Micro Sol that makes the bond even better. Micro Sol will let you do curved surfaces, Micro Sol and Set will let you do jagged ones. It's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I 'Ardcoat the area, use water to move the decal where I want it, Micro Sol, let it dry, 'Ardcoat again and the matte seal. It makes the decal lines disappear.

Ish Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Micro Set does kind of the same job as a clear coat, but does it better. I'm sure someone on YouTube or the rest of the internet can explain the chemistry behind it. I can't. I just know it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In casual, I just say it's a Gallant and I can show them the rules. Ultimately, it's your toy, so do whatever. Technically, it isn't WYSIWYG, so very technically you could be denied in an event that adheres to a WYSIWYG requirement. The distinction between this an a normal conversion is that you are using a weapon that this model can take and with it's own rules to represent a different weapon that this model has taken. This despite the fact that you cannot actually take duplicates of that weapon, still distinguishes this from a normal conversion. That said, I agree, 95% of the time, you should have no issues at events. Maybe even 99%. And, yes, it doesn't matter for casual play. I would have no problems with this at all. Longterm, there is the potential that GW produces an actual kit with 2x chainswords and your "conversion" is kinda forced to become that, which may or may not be an actual problem.
