Zebulon Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Just realised that the only thing I'll likely have for ETL VIII is five squads of Terminators :/ Funny you should say that. I am going to do a Termie Ancient and a Termie Assault Squad as part of Vow 2 (thunder hammers everywhere!) The other two Termies left over are not very points-efficient though. Wondering whether to buy three individual bodies to bring it up to two 5-man squads plus the Ancient, instead of one 7-man squad plus the Ancient. Beyond that though it’s a 5-man scout squad, and maybe some tacticals. Not a huge point load; also I don’t want to get too bogged down with infantry. Will have to think carefully... Edited to include quoted post.

Jolemai Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 I don't have a TDA Ancient as my Assault TDA are from before we got out very own box. Guess that will be six squads of TDA to do...

Zebulon Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 2 leftover terminators is surely a captain conversion and a chaplain conversion? Top Banana! Though I have enough Captains now so maybe a Termie Librarian is a good plan.

Leonaides Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 No such thing as enough captains. Off the top of my head I have about 15 already, with more to do.

Put it this way, I have sufficient for now... :) Something which I searched for and don’t understand the answer to is what ranged weapons Termie Librarians and Chaplains can take.

dread05 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 So I just gave in an bought a Lemartes (not a fan of non plastic models). The cast was fine for the most parts, no major issues apart from the hand with the crozius, the pin wouldnt fit the socket and I had to do a lot of trimming to get there, and now I have a small gap where the arm meets the shoulder. I got a couple of questions. Whats the best glue to use for resin models? I was thinking thick super glue like the one GW sells. Also how do I deal with the gap? Its small enough that Im not sure I can work green stuff in there. Do I just let the glue harden and fill the gap by itself (with baking soda maybe)? Do I green stuff around it? Can I use greenstuff as an adhesive? So many questions :O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/376/#findComment-5344848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoridon Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Arm sockets are the main place I tend to find bad fits with finecast. I use a normal liquid super glue to hold the two parts and then a little green stuff or milliput can fill a gap. A bit of added water can help mould them in place and then you can remove any excess once the gap is filled.

Panzer Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I always use super glue. Preferably the gel variant so you have more control over it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/376/#findComment-5344898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Just scored the Sons of Sanguinius painting guide off eBay! I've been wanting this book for a while, I never grabbed it with the release of the 7th ed codex and when I decided I wanted it, it was d/c'd. I've been looking for it off and on regularly for the last couple of years. This morning I found a mint copy for a good price! I'm excited for multiple reasons. 176 pages of BA goodness. I only wish it had successor chapter painting tips in it other than just Flesh Tearers. Oh well! Worth it!~Also, maybe this will help motivate me to get back to my vow at hand!doubtful. school more important.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 DBH Ooh whats this you speak of? Any good armor marking tips that could be multi purpose? In 2017 they released a painting guide for Blood Angels. It goes in depth on how to paint the armor of each gen 1 marine type, including the Flesh Tearers. I believe it does give step-by-step instructions on how to do squad markings. One of the highlights is it gives you a lot of history, lore, as well as gems like how to paint Alphael etc. Silas7 and Dolchiate Remembrancer 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/376/#findComment-5349657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
