Indy Techwisp Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Continuing the trend of "Normal WarComm article with a Christmas banner", we have a Painting Guide for the Loyalist Legions of the Horus Heresy. The teaser for tomorrow's article is as follows: Quote Tomorrow on the Grotmas Calendar, we’ve got something spooky in store… My assumption is that it's probably an AoS Grand Alliance: Death faction related article (Nighthaunt, Flesh Eater Courts, Soulblight Gravelords or Ossiarch Bonereapers).

In fact, they went a step further and provided video tutorials at the time. This article is just a rough equivalent to FWs original painting tutorial from the early 2010s. Which was just as descriptive.

Presumably, along with more parts of whatever that microfiction on day 1 was. If tomorrow is new Regiments of Reknown for AoS or anything similar, then we can be fairly confident which game is getting the favouritism this year.

Lord Marshal Posted December 3 Author Share Posted December 3 There's a pretty decent number of people who want to follow 'Eavy Metal recipes, to the extent there's a whole website ('Eavy Archive) and painters (like Infernal Brush) dedicated to it. I know on B&C we generally skew towards slightly more grimdark/weathered/tabletop paint jobs, but there will be a fair few people for whom getting the official recipes (and not the slimmed down back-of-the-box ones) is a Christmas pressie.

Blindhamster Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 trouble is, the recipes provided are in fact, incorrect. We know the deep recesses on blood angel armour is not done with black, its done with a mix of khorne red and incubi darkness. This is true for 40k and 30k blood angels.

irlLordy Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 There's no BL advent calendar this year it seems, which is a shame. No acknowledgement of it not happening either (unsurprisingly), it's only occured every year since 2013.

irlLordy Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 I think the issue is that 2 out of the 3 days feel like they could have been regular warcom articles, nothing particularly special about them (exception being HoH rules). The short story didn't even feature Titus (and its very short), and the paint guides are nothing new, or indepth.

We're getting something. It's just not something good. Now, don't go besmirching the good name of socks. Socks are a great gift and I liked them even when I was growing up as that's when I got new socks every year to replace the old holey ones. Hopefully we'll get some 40k rules Thursday or Friday this week, but if not no big deal as whatever they post will be free.
