Re: Step-By-Step Khorne Berzerker (Black Legion)

Interesting. You did this just a bit backwards from the way I would do mine. You put the grey edging on first and I would put it on last. I think I like your method better - this keeps you from having to worry about getting it on other painted areas.

If I was gonna paint some guys up in this scheme I think I would stop at step 9 or I would put the red on before the Devlan Mud.

I love the hand print - what a neat and simple idea to really make the model stand out.

Re: Sepulchre of Heroes: Solar Rant – Discordian

Big-D — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:55:16 -0000

I find the Solar Pulse to be a very annoying piece of wargear to play against.

However, if I was playing Necrons you can bet I would have at least one in my list.

I think the issue of people not knowing when to use the Pulse will clear up over the next few months as tournament season gets under way.

Solid looking model. Dreadnoughts are my favorite models in all of 40k and this one looks proper.

Re: Old Stuff Day 2012 Tervigon Conversion Still Valid?

Big-D — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 11:30:20 -0000

Solid conversion. I just don't know how all this is going to play out. I imagine as we see more and more of the 'official' model on the tables that we will start seeing fewer of the old converted models. I wouldn't have a problem at all in playing against a converted model. As long as it is pretty close to the same size and I can tell what it is I have no problems with it.

I like it. This is a very different list than what I am seeing in my neck of the woods. Looks like it would be fun and effective.

I don't see any dreadknight bits on the soul grinder. Am I missing them?

You could. The label says it won't stick to resin but I haven't tried it. You would probably get better results doing that than with green stuff.

You can use green stuff just fine. It is using a green stuff oven - a coffee can with a light bulb in it - that gives you problems. You can usually use the can and bulb as a little oven to speed up the curing of the green stuff as it is heat cured, but my setup got hot enough to melt the mold.

Re: Wednesday and my hands hurt | The Hogs of War - Warhammer 40k Conversions and Tactics

Big-D — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:33:06 -0000

Looking nice. Can't wait to see these up at the shop. I feel for you on your hands hurting - I have been painting elves and marines like a machine the last two weeks.

@Magilla
This is actualy a pretty straight forward conversion. I have done up a batch of these myself as well as a couple other folk in the shop. You just cut the legs off of the Daemonette and cut the front part of the face off of the spider. Once you have the two models in hand it is really easy to figure out.

It ends up being a really cool conversion that looks good on the table.

I agree - There are gonna be some really slick conversions using these kits for Thousand Sons, Necrons, and Daemons.

Just ordered my first Forge World book this weekend because of this.

Re: How Not to Kill Your Brushes

Big-D — Mon, 10 May 2010 17:16:34 -0000

I've been using The Masters Brush Cleaner for a little over a year and have been buying way fewer brushes since I started. Just a bit of care and your brushes will last you a good while.

Re: 40K RUMORS: Grey Knights Coming Soon?

Big-D — Wed, 05 May 2010 11:06:25 -0000

Lots of uncertainty on this one. It has been going Space Marine - other - Space Marine - other - Space Marine - other - .... for a while on the release schedule so my money is on Dark Eldar. Though the Storm Raven might throw a wrench in this pattern.

Re: HOBBY CHALLENGE: Objectives Edition

Big-D — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:53:19 -0000

I don't think there is an "official" size. We usually use beer caps, the objective markers from the green plastic icon set, dice (these usually get picked up), pieces of scrap paper or whatever else is on hand. 40mm gives you a nice sized objective that you can easily see and also gives you some room to model on.

Re: Flames of War: Building German Panzer IV's

Big-D — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:17:08 -0000

That is a nice article. I have looked at this game a bit and I couldn't even figure out if the models were pre-painted or not. Those look like a blast to build. I might have to pick up a box just to mess around with.

Re: GW RUMORS: And Then There Was One

Big-D — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:04:08 -0000

This rumor seems to be gaining a bit of traction. A while back there was a big thread about how GW stores were going to change and not allow casual gaming and all this other 'the sky is falling' type rumors. Looks like there might be something to it after all.

Wow. The rumors for these guys are just all over the place the last few weeks. Can't wait until this comes out - looks to be some really neat builds that will come out of this.

Re: HOBBY: Spackle Basing

Big-D — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:10:49 -0000

I find spackle just too brittle for much use in the hobby. I have used it on bases, terrain bases, as wall and floor texture on terrain and it always lets me down.

Even sealed with PVA glue it just doesn't take much to chip or crack it.

Not digging the cover. Everyone looks like they have very bad posture and are bent all asunder. Kind of just looks unnatural.

Sweet Moses! Plastic Minotaurs! That just might make me start a Beasts of Chaos army and I don't even play Fantasy.

Re: Vampiric heroes? More, please...

I love those models. Excellent paint job as well. I just went and checked out Gaspez-Art's website and was really impressed with the Demon model they have.

Re: 40K/WFB RUMORS: Latest Whispers

Big-D — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 11:04:23 -0000

I think this is great. It gives them some love and will hopefully open the door for more of the offshoot races - Forge World Squats/Demiurg anyone?

This will also be good as maybe Forge World will put out the army book. This would help get more universal support on using the Forge World books in everyday gaming and smaller tournaments without a hassle.
