Warpmiss Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Yesterday in the hobby I finally pre-ordered the new ETB DG stuff along with an awesome sculpt from Scibor. Hopefully I'll be able to go to the store to pick it up this Sunday or on Christmas day.

The_Chaplain Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Played my first game with my tau in 8th edition... it was 4k versus dark angels. It was brutal game but educational and fun!

Knight of the Raven Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Five minutes ago in the Hobby I checked the Regimental Standard's latest addition. Attention, Guardsman! It has come to the attention of Imperial High Command that morale in your sector is dangerously low this Candlemass season, possibly due to the mysterious accidental deaths of all your Regimental Commissars. Our Tech-Adepts are hard at work fixing the “sudden involuntary discharge” issue many claim to have with your lasguns, while for the issue of your morale we have recruited His Revered Holiness Rudolph Crispin, a renowned preacher of the Adeptus Ministorum, to share a special festive story with you all. Italics mine. Who said chance was a jerk? (What do you mean, the guardsmen forced chance's hand? I don't know what you're talking about.)

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 TITH I gathered up my models for an all-army shot (that also became my christmas card to the forum) and realized just how expansive my armies truly are, though pitiful they are compared to some people. It also reinforced the fact I really need to pull a common basing theme together. I have nothing army-wide, and little squad-wide basing patterns. SOmething else to add to the to-do list, I guess.

Laughingman Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Today I finished up a carcharodons "chaplain" in MKIII plate, like to imagine they are more like a pre-heresy discipline officer of legion, so he lacks much of the heraldry of the modern chaplaincy (like the skull faced helmet, candles and random oaths of moment draped all over him).

Knight of the Raven Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Today in the hobby, as I transcribed a passage from Hammer and Anvil from paper to my computer, I realized that, apparently, contractions are outlawed by both the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Ecclesiarchy. No, seriously, not a single contraction is made during the dialogue between the questor antagonist and the protagonist sororitas, there's only some in the narration. Wouldn't surprise me, some worlds require a license just to read according to the prequel.

Knight of the Raven Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Contractions or Contradictions. My pregnant wife would have a word or 2 to say if contractions were outlawed Contractions of the linguistic variety. The only one in the entire confrontation is in this sentence: "Tegas didn't seem to hear her." Seeing as both the Cult Mechanicus and Imperial Cult are full of hypocritical religious fanatics nuttier than a forest's worth of squirrel digestive tracts, they probably contain more contradictions than there are stars in the Milky Way.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 T(and Y)ITH I speed-built, -painted, and -based 10 Necron warriors, two scarab bases, and a deathmark conversion for the Boxing Day bash, and in doing so established a good way of building warriors. Don't bother with individualizing them, and don't be afraid to snip arms to get them to fit to the gun.

Montford Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Having never invested is a single flyer, Christmas brought me one for my Space Marines -and- one for my new Craftworld army!

Dragonlover Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 YITHI wrote up my lists onto Battlescribe and noodled around some ideas to bring them up to 2k. Also learnt Predators can't actually have two combis, so I've been doing that wrong the last few months...

Soldier of Dorn Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) TITH I've decided that I'm probably not going to try and play 40k proper anymore. It's something I've been debating for a while now, ever since Chapter Approved happened. I'm not the biggest fan of 8th edition to begin with (I've honestly grown in my dislike of it, if anything, after playing a few games,) but I was working on trying and getting a 40k Astral Claws army up and running, simply so that I would have something to play in this edition. My biggest issue right now is that I really don't want to have to buy a new book yearly to update me on points costs, outside of my codex, It's not the price itself that bothers me, it's something to do with the fact that they're marketing what is seems to primarily be a paid errata for their book less than 6 months after release (and just 3 months in the case of the Death Guard Codex) and I'm not interested in that sort of thing in principle. Sure, yes, it seems to have some interesting things besides that, but the main draw are the points costs. I have similar reservations about the General's Handbook for Sigmar, if I'm being quite honest, but that's neither here nor there. So... yeah, setting that aside. Might do some light 40k modeling from time to time, but I think I'm pretty much done with it. On the bright side, it means I can concentrate the entirety of my efforts entirely upon 30k, now. Which is good. Have many armies I'd like to finish for that system. Still like it and am happy with the 7th based system they seem to be sticking to for the time being. Of course, as always this is my own personal taste speaking. Your quality of experience with 8e may differ. However, I do believe that it is not the game for me.

Warpmiss Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 TITH a friend ask me if I could paint the models of the TT Dark Souls game. I insisted that I've only been painting since September and my techniques are very basic but they are ok with that. Hey, as long as they are paying for the paints I need, I don't mind.

D3L Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) TiTH I started to play with the push fit Japan Marines, the snap fit sprues are quite nice, only a little trimming or squeezing to assemble, the plastic feels a little softer than GW polystyrene I can't verify if it actually is a different PU, (it also surprisingly says it's manufactured in the UK we can presume Nottingham, so by GW not Max Factory?), detail holds, but they'll blow over in a stiff breeze, resin this is not. The helmeted options are actually quite nice, really works with the Captain Thassariushere's a snap pre cleaninghttps://imgur.com/a/BGGhsas you can see the Twist-Snap style still leaves a little sprue plugs needing preening, but actually a sharp finger nail can get rid of the big bits, there are still mould lines, specifically down the greaves and laterally across the bare head ear to ear and woefully all down the plasma pistol's accelerator and most irritatingly of all, the holster is on the wrong leg Edited January 1, 2018 by D3L deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/264/#findComment-4971712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
