Jolemai Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Finally! Stormraven doors/hurricane bolters pinned and the turret is now magnetised. Now I can resume painting at last. Damon Nightman 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Going to attempt to rescue this disastrous Vindicator I just bought. I really thought it was in better shape than what it is. /:Oh well if I'm not up to the task I just bought an extra piece of terrain. Wish me luck!

One of my favourite parts of the hobby, despite my games room now permanently smelling of dettol. Just get a buzz from recovering 2nd hand trash and making it serviceable again. Good luck!

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 You gents here convinced me to get a Deredeo, and I bought a cheap one on ebay that was built rather poorly, primed too heavily and has lots of weird hairs and stuff... so I'll be doing the same thing soon. :) Tyriks 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by "fixing"? Well...I find them flat? Does this illustrate the effect you're looking for? http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/stormraven-cockpit-gradient.png To achieve that (without an airbrush) I would start with a dark green, and build up layers diagonally mixing in more of a bright green each time.

CaptainHelion Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Had a game planned at the local GW, but had to call it off just as we were starting the first turn, as the Earthquake inspector had another look at the building and decided they weren't happy with it and closed the whole block. Bit frustrating, but I'd rather lose out on a game than be in new already broken building if another quake hits. It's bad enough being in an up to code and undamaged house! Edit: oh and the aftershock/quake count is up at something like 1400 now. Lol.

Boudan Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Kind of a weird occurrence at my bi-weekly Warhammer trip. A small game was proposed: 600 points, due to time constraints. My opponent had what he considered to be a very strong Khorne (KDK?) list already prepared, and excited to be used. I started pulling out my Dreadnoughts to be used in a Chapter Ancients formation. My opponent refused to play against it because it was A) unbalanced, and B) his list wouldn't "work" against it. I've never experienced anyone having this reaction to a Blood Angels-anything before. Postscript: I made a Golden Host list, and my opponent thereafter refused to move his all-assault army, forcing me to move into his charge range, or just sit there for 6 turns doing nothing. A weird experience! Edited November 17, 2016 by Boudan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A weird experience! Your opponent sounds like a d-bag frankly. Back in the 3rd edition Rhino-rush days I got that reaction a LOT and I hated it - because I was never a power-gamer or even a good player haha. Pretty much why I'm perfectly satisfied with us not being the uber top-tier at the moment. Warsmith Uveron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A weird experience! You should have told him he's an absolute disgrace to his pathetic God! Is this all Khorne's mighty champions have to offer? No wonder Sanguinius gave Kha'banda the old Bane maneuver. No wonder the Sanguinor did the same. If someone is scared of dreads then they clearly have never faces a full cheese Eldar list.

Riot Earp Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Haha yes Khornedogs have a bad matchup against front 13 dreads. If he field just 60 dogs and nothing else maybe his list was unbalanced also? My opponent know mixes some units in which can handle such dreads. Your opponents reaction was not gentelmenlike. And hugging the table edge to don´t get charged is kinda silly and not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I would've just asked politely what his intentions were. Then I would have had to reply if he planned on disgracing the Pantheon for his cowardice. Just kidding that would've been inner DBH. Outer DBH would've been, "Hey man, this isn't really fun I think I'd rather play someone else" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seriously came with a 'strong' list to a 600pt game then got upset because someone else had a 'strong' list?

Boudan Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) His list was a chaos lord, a hellbrute, 5 CC terminators, a deamonthing with a large blast template and some riders summoned by blood tithes. Next turn was to be a bloodthirster, and at that point I said 'never mind.' It didn't seem to be *that* weak against AV13, but hey.

eggroll Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Update time! Been busy painting these last few weeks and have 5 new additions to add to the army: 4 HQs and 1 Stormraven Gunship http://www.ba40k.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/StormRavenGunship-12.jpg All these models were built and primed years ago. Slowly making my way through all the models to paint. The Stormraven was very fun to paint and will be looking to paint more flyers soon. The model like all my other large models is heavily magnetized for easy storage and transport. Anyway...onto the pics: http://www.ba40k.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/StormRavenGunship-13.jpg http://www.ba40k.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/StormRavenGunship-14.jpg http://www.ba40k.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/StormRavenGunship-1.jpg http://www.ba40k.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/StormRavenGunship-2.jpg http://www.ba40k.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/StormRavenGunship-9.jpg http://www.ba40k.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/StormRavenGunship-4.jpg http://www.ba40k.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/StormRavenGunship-11.jpg Lucumon, marine7312000, Dont-Be-Haten and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
