^^ Agree with this. Half A thought might be for GW to design the game for the general playerbase ("casuals") and then enforce more strict rules on tournaments, like "only detachment A is legal in tournaments", or having ban lists for tourneys. Ultimately, the quest for balance requires the removal of variables and options, and we end up with noughts and crosses or chess: A true test to find the best player would be to force everyone to play the same faction in a tournament, and remove all variables like army balance etc.

That looks great, I'm really tempted to do a similar scheme on my mechanicum - I think the yellow will weather really well as yours have!

Welcome back, and they look great!

A while back, only about 50% or less of the mail order packing staff were into the hobby, same as the bugmans staff - they don't all play the game, it's just a decent job in the area.

That's the preheresy/heresy era scheme though, when everything was black.

Cracking on through my pile of shame, and being on a roll painting red recently (and my Headhunters needing a ride) I got this rhino in for a long overdue painting. Ignore the terrible smoke launchers, it just needs a havy nuln wash on the metals then some transfers and weathering, then finally a name.

Awesome work, don't know if you've answered, but are you using necron rules? The reanimation rule could very easily be new reinforcements scurrying along!

I'd think they would receive a company reallocation and thus be in green.

The first dragon has a very similar palette to Belakor, GW has a great simple video tutorial of how to do this, I'd start there! I can only find a FB version of it, it doens't appear to be on YT for some reason, however Duncan Rhodes also has a tutorial which I'd assume is in the same style - it's the same colours, you just need to go a lot heavier on the drybrushes on the lighter parts. https://www.facebook.com/WarhammerOfficial/videos/how-to-paint-belakor-the-dark-master/292626249117331/

I recall them doing big annoucements on the screen as we were in the heresy event, and the displays there was the first time we'd seen a lot of the models. I don't think everything had been totally revealed at that point.

Yea, I recall Leviathan was also officially announced at Warhammer fest (May 20th or so, 2023) with 2-4 weeks before preorders went up. May seems about right for the summer reveal.

Mid May reveal for start of June 2 week preorder window for mid June release feels right and lines up with what they did for AoD.
