My Other Painter Secrets from someone the outside WH world
  • Brushes for nail art and manicure art are made small enough to do model detailing and can sometimes be bought for cheaper. Those little dotting tools also are good if you need a small dotted detail.
  • If you insist on painting your straight lines freehand, get one of these (the longest one, or any other brush that has a long ass bristle it makes straight lines easier, but this brand is for the most autistic of painters)
  • Msc (Mr. Super clear, i recommend Matt or Satin), best primer and finisher in the galaxy
  • Pearl/ex varnish and pigment. Very pearlescent and other worldly. leaves a lovely effect for Harlequin and Dark Eldar and ships. It can be bought and added to airbrush paint or applied manually.
  • Non oil based makeup can be used as dry pigment(so eyeshadows and blushes) so borrow your gf's makeup...im sure she will understand it was for the Emperor/ greater good.
  • Rembrant chalk pastels are based dry medium. Great for bases and certain special effects.scrape some pigment off and use a brush to apply it Just use a clear primer between layers to build a color.
  • Prismacolor colored pencils are easier to make straight lines with and do MNM effects. I bought my bigger set on eBae for cheap. Just keep em sharpened and only use them after a primer.
  • If you have a Cricut machine or know a winemom with one, theres special material you can get so you can scale and make your own reusable decals so you don't have to fully hand paint shoulders anymore
  • You can revive old dried paint with acrylic thinner/reducer.
  • B&J "The Masters" Brush Cleaner and preserver will revive your shittiest dirtiest brushes. Its like magic and way cheaper than rebuying spendy brushes
  • Use tiny ass brushes that have some form of grip to defeat any hand pain.

I like to say that Guy from Midwinter Minis has a video where you use nail flakes on minis to get like a cool ass effect

Been playing with my 3D Printer. Outside of a lack of 1:1 STL files (unless there's a separate Mega I don't know of or some other discord than PW's, which prohibits 1:1s) I've been printing plenty of shit that's equivalent to GW, and I still haven't bothered to adjust my printer's settings.

Once I'm done with this batch of resin and have moved onto 4k resin, I'm going to print an entire Imperial Knights army for about oh, $5 I think? Only thing missing is a good Knight Valiant (the BIG ones) STL, because PW won't link the existing one cause it's 1:1. Custodes, too, are apparently pretty damned printable, so that's on the list as well.

Lately (probably because of this thread) I've been considering getting my own 3D printer.
Started looking around for STL files, found a few sites where you can buy or get free ones (some look really amazing).
Now I just need to save up a bit...

How the hell can they be re-imagining Kill Team when it literally just came out a few months ago?

... 36 counts as a few.

In the long term GW cannot survive if they don't constantly refresh their products (be it new minis or new rules) otherwise everyone will just buy the minis they need for their army and (outside of collectors) won't buy any more minis since minis are just plastic they don't spoil or get used up, so there would be little need for most people to buy more. But by adding side games, or tweaking the rules and thus the meta they give people more reasons so buy and GW gets continued sales over time.

Heard plenty of praise for Warcry but I've never met anyone who plays it. Is it that much of an improvement over regular Kill Team?

I've never got into Warcry because you have to buy the main set if you want to play it, and that means paying extra for two Cultist bands that I have no interest in.

I never bought the core set. If you have an AoS or old Fantasy army and some terrain, you can download the Core Rules from someplace. You may or may not have to pay for one of the faction books (I can't find pdf versions), depending on how cool your friends are.

I also got the Wild Fighter rules from Tome of Champions 2021 so I can play solo.

On another note, I just got done with an AoS 3.0 game. The rules work really well and it's engaging even on your opponent's turn.
 
Dominion is now on last chance to buy

So, wait, is the article on Warhammer Community not done updating our was the new edition of Kill Team all there was?
 
You gotta admit it’s almost some chaos fuckery to include both Death Korps of Krieg and Black Templar’s on the same stream. Also having the new Kommando Nob wearing the Werchment cap too maybe this is the work of cegorach?
