helterskelter Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 200 points ish for terror squad lite... add a bit more for a rhino and they might be a half decent objective stripper (as in take a scoring squad off of a claimable objective) I hadn't even noticed these changes.

Olis Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 This is news to me. Free upgrade, you say? I say bring me more Choom. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Do they still have bolt pistols? Also, as an Iron Warrior player my heavy support slots are pretty full - are simple support squads with Calivers viable? I really want a Culverin Heavy Support Squad but I really want my Ordnance more ;) StoneSentinels 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Yeah they still have bolt pistols, and the sergeant can swap his standard flamer for a combi-weapon for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I'd say do it up... I've been toying with the idea of a Volkite Charger Squad for a while now, to go along with my Caliver and Culverin Squads. Although honestly, I think the Charger's real place is in the hands of Terminators, who don't care as much about the limited range due to their superior armour.

Knight of the Raven Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The answer is always MORE CHOOM. Fixed that for you. Which makes me wonder whether orks have Ullanor Death Rays or not. Forward Assist 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01RTB01 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my CHOOM-GODS!!! Yes, plastic choom! Anybody got a guess what those babies will go for apiece on bitz-sites and ebay? Same price as the BaC stuff/equivalents? With only 1 Choom per sprue I fear these may cost more in the secondary market than saffron per ounce... fw may actually be cheaper on this one! Anything more than £1.30 per choom and fw wins Edited October 19, 2016 by 01RTB01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Is artwork featuring choom acceptable here? http://i.imgur.com/vzMIMUA.jpg KBA, librisrouge, m0nolith and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) My attempts to convert my metal, Hotshot-toting Kasrkin into Volkite armed Apostles of choom, have failed... I just can't get the muzzles to look right. I also cannot swap the weapons... Is custom pattern choom accetable? Otherwise I have no choom to submit...

Olis Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Have you thought about press-moulding the muzzle of, say, a Serpenta and making the rest of the guns fit that? Edit - Typo. Edited October 23, 2016 by Olis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I have is that I have no volkite anything to work from as base at the moment, I've been working off pictures. That an my lack of skill is what has led to my failure. Perhaps I should wait until I have some volkites of varying types before I try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reldn Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Quick question for my Volkite wielding brethren here: I'm not entirely accustomed to working with resin right yet and am wondering if the usual hot water trick will work for bending the cables of the Telerac pattern culverins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 I haven't had experience with the Telerac cables, so it'd be irresponsible of me to recommend doing it. So, let's explore options. The only other method I can recall at this late hour is using a hairdryer. Would that be useful to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reldn Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Indeed it would! I'm sure I could steal the Wife's hair dryer for a little while. *laughs* I'll give that method a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 The technique I use... which I'm sure many won't agree with... is warming the cables up under the flame of a lighter. It'll heat the resin up enough to bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) There's a tutorial I did a few pages back detailing the hot water method with Telerac culverin http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308805-martian-death-ray-club/?p=4411971 Edited October 23, 2016 by helterskelter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I have come up with a new idea: Using these from anvil industries as starting refence, and then trying to polish the design with this pic: Hidden Content http://media.indiedb.com/images/downloads/1/92/91079/volkite_serpenta_preview.jpg http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMjAw/z/vWIAAOSwv0tU8cbr/$_1.JPG I might have more success.

It is the safest way. Hair dryers can be too powerful or not powerful enough. (have not used one) I use water boiler, tea mug and milk glass. (tweezers are handy to have too so you wont burn your fingers) Boil water put hot water into mug resin piece in for about 10-20 seconds bend resin into the glass full of cold water keep in cold water for about 20 seconds If the result is not what you wanted repeat until satisfied! :D (if it takes lot of time you might want to boil your water again) edit: Or, follow helterskelters tutorial! ;) Edited October 23, 2016 by Finnish Hammer BLACK BLΠFLY 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll heat the resin up enough to bend. From what I've understood, this is a baaad idea! Not only is the resin supposed to be flammable, so you run the risk of making your money (semi-)litterally go up in smoke, that smoke is supposed to be noxious (worse then spray cans) - taking such a risk (of damaging the model and damaging your lungs) is really not worth it when you can use hot water.

DuskRaider Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Pfffffffffffft.... I smoke a pack a day, you think resin smoke is going to bother me? You don't literally set it on fire, but the heat from the flame loosens it up a bit. Never had it catch on fire, but then again I don't really need to bend resin enough for it to be an issue.

Doctor Perils Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Pfffffffffffft.... I smoke a pack a day, you think resin smoke is going to bother me? But the smoke can be rapidly noxious (if not deadly) - tobacco smoke may kill in 10, 20, 50 years, but there are other things that can kill in a matter of minutes if you're not careful.
