I have a challenge for you IG guys.  If I had the money to do it, I'd do this in a heartbeat for an entire army for laughs.  Every last freaking unit, including putting reflective stripes on vehicles.  Then again, the cheapest way to do it, is to buy a few PT belts and cut sections to fit.

Kasrkin or Stormtroopers wearing PT belts for 'safety.'  Maybe with an Ogryn detachment too.

I'd do it if I had more time.  Because I agree, it'd be fucking hilarious on the tabletop, especially if you used an ACTUAL PT belt.

Alas, I'm already dreading painting the 100+ bodies I have to do.  I'm telling myself I can do one vehicle or special model for every squad I get done.

I picked it up yesterday at B&N.  It's more of an omnibus of short stories for Eisenhorn, but I'm looking for it.  Now if he'd get around to writing book 2 of the Bequin trilogy...

When I heard another Eisenhorn book was coming out I assumed (silly me) it was the sequel to Pariah.  I am disappointed, but at least he got The Warmaster out last year.   I suppose we'll have to wait 5 more years for another G.G. book.  Lord knows when we'll see the next Bequin book....

I picked it up today, the new mini-knights are neat.  Of interest, the main body is a three-frame sprue, and added to that is a small single frame sprue with the arm weapons, face plates, and shoulder and leg armor plates.  All the pieces that you'd swap out for a different pattern of mini-knight for weapon and visual differentiation.

I think it was either BoLS or Spikey Bits that was saying the way the sprues are done for the knight, more parts and variants are coming.  Basically the regular version has different parts from the Forgebane ones, but both looked like there were extras molded then clipped off like an extra sprue part or two.

I just discovered something really neat about the Armiger.  It's made in such a way that the legs are interchangeable, so that even though they're still not possible at the joints, per se, you can vary which leg is forward or trailing.

I've got 2 Paasche Talon airbrushes and they're great for "mass" painting. They're also good for doing large areas on tanks, fliers, and the like.

I got them in a kit on Amazon. They break down very easily, so they're easy to keep clean.

So it's looking like May's releases for 40k (once they quit screwing around with AoS fishmen) will be Deathwatch then Harlequins.  I guess that will put Imperial Knights (or whatever copyrightable name they put on them) in June.  That leaves, what, Space Wolves, Orks, and Genestealers as the only armies left that had Codexes in 7th?

What's everyone's opinion on purchasing recasts for stuff GW has discontinued, such as Cadian Kasrkins?  I have a fundamental opposition to purchasing recasts for anything still available through GW and will order it almost exclusively through my FLGS.  However, I absolutely hate the Tempestus Scions models and, with the Kasrkin sculpts being $75+ for a platoon of 10 on eBay, I'm seriously considering taking my chances with Cheap-n-fast or some other recaster that's decently rated on r/yoyhammer.

I'm wondering what kind of molds the recasters use.  A long cure time and off gassed/pressure cast 2 part mold out of your higher grade long cure resins, fine grades of plaster, or even silicon should give better results than that.  Granted, off gassing (via vacuum chamber) or pressure casting is more of a small scale thing with only a few molds in a chamber at a go unless you're industrial scale.

Honestly, considering that can be done at home pretty easily, you'd think recasters would have better quality output.  Not that I'm advocating IP theft, just that for the risks some of those folk take with getting sued, the product looks kinda shitty.

Legitimate question:

I am trying to sell a group of Vostroyan miniatures. I have

18 Lasguns
2 Grenade Launchers
2 Meltas
2 Plasma Guns
3 Sergeants with laspistols
2 medics
1 Vostroyan Corpse
1 Mortar
1 Lascannon
1 Heavy Bolter
2 Voxcasters
1 Sergeant with Chainsword and Laspistol
1 Flag Bearer
1 Commander

What would you say is a fair price for these? Dont want to get ripped off. So far I have gotten a few lowball offers.

not sure what they are going for,  try to come up with what you want for them, or if you want trades.  there are dozens of 40k facebook, buy sell trade pages.

the deathwatch set is on ebay, you can also buy them by the mini that way if you only wanted certain ones. possible somebody might trade for your figures, who knows till you try.  good luck.

Opinions on the color for my IG's gun casing?

Left is Death World Forest and is the green of all armor (infantry and vehicle) in the regiment.
Middle is Khorne Red (my head-cannon says this regiment supports my Dark Angels a lot).
Right is the Cadian standard Castellan green.

The red for sure.

Probably worth noting that my main army I've played since I got into 40k in 3rd edition is all Khorne Berzerkers, so you may want to take my vote with a grain of salt.

Played my buddy today.  We've been playing every Friday for the past month.  Started at 500, did a couple of 1000 point games, and did 1500 points today.  His Dark Eldar or whatever they're called now (Drukhari or some shit) vs my IG.  Everything was going great, I'm up 3 vp to his 1, I'm about to complete another objective card for 3 more VP and will have line breaker as well.  Top of round 4, my Tempestus Scions finally kill some Forgeworld barge/sail boat thing that's 400 points with two gigantic fucking shotgun las cannon things on the front that's also holding 5 flying dark lance things.  Does it explode? But of course it does!  Does it damage anything of his shit around it in the 9" radius explosion?  Nah.  Does he lose any of the winged dark lance wielding things?  Nope.  Of the 13 bodies I have surrounding the fucking thing when it explodes (Tempestus Scions, Company CO, Bullgryn, and a Priest), how many do I lose?

11.  I suffered 11 mortal wounds to his shit blowing up in my guy's faces.

Mother fucking thing took out my whole right flank and how I was going to score that objective card.

We called it after that.
