Emperor's Furor Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 My friend is doing IHs now so I can't do them, I'm unsure as to how to paint death guard though and the scheme seems like it would be a pain. Its actually very easy and straight forward, offwhite, wash, wash, and wash again. Tidy up with a little more off white highlights. Done What do you base it with, white spray or can u go with black? as to the off white are you on about ushabti bone or something else?

Koriel Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think the torso/ head/ shoulder packs are a good idea . Since alot of people are on a tight-ish budget, sprinkling a few heads here and there on plastic minis, maybe a torso for leaders and some shoulders pads you can get a visually distict 30k looking force without paying for a full FW army. When it comes to the order in which they release the kits though, I suppose they figure some legions are more popular them others, or maybe they just do rock- paper- scissors for which legion to do next ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286843-140214-forgeworld-update/page/2/#findComment-3594534 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor's Furor Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Btw if you look in the collected vision books, I think there's an awful lot of sons of horus wearing those type of helmets to.

chaplain mortis Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Holy hell! It just gets harder picking a legion! Love both upgrade kits and always helps to just have a lil bit more to add to your marines for personalization. @WoT..the paints I used in my guide were just my personal choice...all those can easily be swapped for the gw line. .should be able to use this link to help find colour matches. . http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart Hope this helps out Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286843-140214-forgeworld-update/page/2/#findComment-3594646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 What I really love is that those death Guard torsos can be used by ANY Legion, and will add some variation for us folks who are addicted to Mk II and Mk III plate. Well played, Forgeworld. Here's my entire tax return.

Emperor's Furor Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was thinking about whether u could use the death guard helms or chests to make the sons of horus u see in the collected visions, such as Targost http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121107195208/warhammer40k/images/thumb/7/7b/Serghar_Targost.jpg/290px-Serghar_Targost.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286843-140214-forgeworld-update/page/2/#findComment-3594771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vile Siren Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Loving the upgrade packs! Personally the last 2-3 weeks I have really enjoyed my Fridays because of FW releases have been awesome lately. I know people are tired of DG, WE, SoH and EC releases lately but I am looking forward to the upgrade pack for EC and minis for Eidolon and Maloghurst whenever they are going to be released Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286843-140214-forgeworld-update/page/2/#findComment-3594789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthamal Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I don't see why people are complaining... so what if you're Legion doesn't have a unique kit yet, it will. Let us who have been waiting since Betrayal have our day. It isn't so much the fact that I want my own Legion to get something. I'm just pointing out the bias that seems to be building with certain Legions. As a comparison: The Worst Emperor's Children - Primarch, Contemptor, Kakphonii, Pheonix Guard, Palatine Blades Sons of Horus - Horus (imminent) , Abaddon, Loken, Reavers, Justaerin, Upgrade Kits, Command Kit, Contemptor The Middle Ground Death Guard - Typhon, Contemptor, Death Shroud, Grave Wardens, Upgrade Kits Word Bearers - Lorgar, Erebus, Kor Phaeron, Ashen Circle Iron Hands - Ferrus Manus, Contemptor, Legion Squad, Upgrade Kits, Medusan Immortals World Eaters - Primarch, Contemptor, Rampagers, Red Butchers, Khârn Least Night Lords - Night Raptors Salamanders - Nothing I'll clear a couple of things up before I go further just so I can't be accused of anything. Yes I'd prefer more Night Lords. Yes I think the upgrade kits are fantastic and if I could choose any Legion to get some serious love it would be Salamanders because to say they've had the short end of the stick is a total understatement. So what if the 4 in Betrayal didn't get everything at once? Big deal. There's still going to be WE/SoH/EC/DG players moaning about that even when Extinction is out and they're placed firmly on the back burner (I hope). Which is exactly my point. When Vol 3 drops everything is going to be pushed headlong into getting kits for those Legions out the door (which is right, it's a massive release and people looking to pick it up for those Legions will want stuff to go with it, it's good business sense) All of the units listed in Massacre for the 4 from Betrayal are out. Even 2 of the 4 special characters have gotten out the door. And this isn't like last year. There's no year long gap to get a lot of the generic stuff for all the Legions out the door as well as Legion centric stuff. Who knows. I could be wrong on all of the points above. I'm going to the open day next month so I'll put the question straight to Alan, Edgar or Phil if I'm lucky enough to talk to them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286843-140214-forgeworld-update/page/2/#findComment-3595077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
