Pallid wych flesh can still be highlighted, whereas white scar is about as bright/white as GW paints go, so models painted with it can look a bit flat without highlights. For that reason I'd recommend pallid wych flesh for the main body of the armour, and you can still use the white scar to highlight.
Noah Howard
From the last thread,
White Scars are more of a glossy 'normal' white that is best reproduced using a light grey then highlighting in white scar paint. I think Duncan has a good video on the warhammer tv youtube channel.
Luna Wolves are more of a pearly white colour so you might want to use effects paints for it. Tamiya make some pearl white paints if you fancy them.
Nothing wrong with doing both in white scar though, just depends what you're after.
Ryder Johnson
Thank you for saving my place brother.
Aaron White
Building up to white from a grey or blue base makes them look cold and therefore professional, ruthless, evil etc. Conversely buying from a bone or cream base looks warm and thus dynamic, organic, good etc.
As such I'd suggest Scars from bone and Wolves from grey. On a similar note I find the stock Wolf scheme to look very shitty and think a Cerberus style with yellow and black would look the tits, though change the colour to 'warm'.

Gabriel Thompson
>Nothing wrong with doing both in white scar though, just depends what you're after. Yes there is. The rest of your post is right, you only highlight with pure white. Nothing 'white' is actually white in real life.
Ulthuan Grey for a cool white. For White Scars I like some sort of ivory, highlighted with white, and then washed a bit with, not sure what I used here, browns and dark grays.
But I need to figure out if I want bright reds or bright golds. I don't think I want both - one of them will be seriously desaturated in my next try.
Jaxson Phillips
Hahahah, what a story Magnus.
Zachary Watson
The problem with taking a 'realistic' approach to a scheme like this is that it comes out looking like a real mess. Sometimes I think a more stylised and cleaner approach is better on the legions with cartoonish colour schemes.

Does chinaman have a catalogue or a site? Curious how much he charges for MkVI.
Jayden Martin
"He" is like a dozen different outfits, mostly operating by email only. If you Google around the Veeky Forums archives I think there's a collection of links to catalogues and contact info.
Liam Young
Alternatively if you visit yoyhammer page on reddit you can find info there.
If you go ahead prepare to feel really nervous as you wait ages for email reply.
Also don't order around Chinese New year because they take like a full month off.

Everyone knows Wiseau is actually the Emperor.

Nah, he's too smart. As we all know from BL, the Emperor is a monumental dumbass that does the wrong thing basically every time he appears in the lore, and not even Tommy Wiseau is that capable of bad decision making.
Nathaniel Carter
I want a Resistance style HH game, where players are primarchs, divided into loyalists and traitors, and the goal is to get a traitor primarch nominated as the warmaster.
Austin Sanchez

The old rumor was late 2018. Now some people are saying March 2018. Personally that sounds too close to the Necromunda release (which is largely by FW, despite the plastics) but it's the predominant rumor.

i might just do blackshields with loyalist alpha legion rules. i want to infiltrate in black armor but i dont want my army to be a bunch of bug eyed weirdos. hes a bug eyed emo kid whos gay

Liam Edwards

Fuck off dildo, Corax is > best Primarch
Play Predation Fleet then, Blackshields/Traitors with Arkhas Fal, topknots and sweet shark tattoos.
Easton Ross
i would but i already have a traitor legion arent space sharks all bug eyed and shit?
i might do pre alpharious alpha legion/blackshields or something i guess.
Isaiah Reed
Corax is fine. Loyalist primarchs don't all have to be nice guys or be always successful. Plus, Thulsa Doom haircut.
They have fun rites of war, and lots of shrouding and jump packs. Best of all, they feel right even when played as the small forces we actually put on the tabletop.
Sebastian Baker
>i dont want my army to be a bunch of bug eyed weirdos. Uh... one of the Blackshields wrought by war things was designed specifically to represent those Raptor dudes. But there weren't that many. Use the normal RG rules for non-weirdo RG.
Gavin Nguyen
Dont do Alpha Legion. They are bug eyes.
Tyler Jackson
which legions aren't bug eyed
Christopher Smith
are they really? are there any l33t operator marines that arent weird freaks?
Connor Watson
What does bug-eyed even mean? To me it means compound eyes and no one has those.
The Raven Guard have black eyes. The Salamanders have red eyes. That should be it for really weird eyes, right? Wait, Night Lords too maybe - or was it just Curze?
Alpha Legion are not bug eyed, they just have strange personalities. I wouldn't be surprised if someone wrote them with serpent eyes but it'd be a deliberate modification.
Emperor's Children are also potentially l33t though they think sneaking is beneath them and will only do it to show up the Alpha Legion. Ultramarines actually have a secret police force, much of which is made up of failed inductees who are halfway between human and space marine. Dark Angels are secretive (especially in their brief appearance in the novella Wolf King, which is great). White Scars have good scouts, though that isn't quite the same thing. Night Lords are sneaky but potentially bug eyed and certainly creepy. Thousand Sons have Indiana Jones-like scouts with psychic powers.

Noah Lewis
What is the best way to take off paint? My friend gave me his Ahriman model for my TSons army I haven't started yet, but he caked it in black primer. I've heard Simple Green is good. What do i do? Just immerse it in the Simple Green? Some light scrubbing?
Nathaniel King
Anyone have the ruinstorm audiobook?
Austin Brooks
Fundamentally, you want a degreasing product.
LA's Totally Awesome (that's a product name) is great. Simple Green's alright but on the weaker side and make sure you've got the degreaser product, but it affects green stuff (they all might). Castrol Super Clean is more powerful but you need to limit the soak to... dunno, 6-10 hours? It's riskier. Superclean and Purple Power are basically the same stuff. I've heard some people say you can leave minis in there for days, but there's some disagreement.
John Ross
Where can I find Totally Awesome? On Amazon?
Angel Murphy
Why are some the PDFs I'm finding of Black Library books using "feet" and "mile" instead of "meter" and "kilometer?" Are the lengths being edited properly?
Wyatt Robinson
Because some writers are Murikan and editors don't exist.
Grayson Green

Bentley Hill
The British never really gave up their units. They use centimeters and miles, grams and stone, mL and gallons... it's worse than the US where we at least stick to one system.

Absolute kek. Obligatory nitpicks: Ultramarines weren't at the siege of Terra, the font is a bit small and hard to read, slightly wordy text and dense imagery making it a bit hard to immediately grasp what's going on

1. Is the Stormhawk an acceptable model to crowbar into the Heresy? I dislike the appearance of both the Xiphon and the Lightning, so to pay silly money for something ugly seems bad.
2. Chin-cannon, more guns on the wingtips, underwing rocket launchers. Which one is that closer to.
3. Which is stronger, Xiphon or Lightning? Raven Guard Recon Company for reference. Current Spartan solution is infiltrating Quad-Rapiers and a few GravSpeeders.
Jonathan Morgan
The lightning is more versatile in terms of load-out (and Kraken Penetrators will kill anything if you fire the entire payload at once), but I suspect that the Xiphon is better long term, because none of its weapons have limited ammunition.
Grayson Edwards
Using bits entirely from the kit, you can work the Stormhawk into a passable Lightning and equip it WYSIWYG too (fixed TL Lascannon, options for at least one TL Autocannon, as well as missiles). To my understanding, a Voss-Lightning is wider by maybe half an inch on each side, but it's not like smaller Lightnings haven't existed. As long as you and/or your opponent aren't cunts, there should be no problems regarding size. Xiphon may be a bit tougher due to the armament, but with some bits and creativity you can probably pull it off.
I personally prefer Lightnings for their cost comparative to what they bring to the table. Xiphons are better overall, but they cost more and will draw even more attention.
Charles Moore
Excellent model but why no ccw?
Aiden Hughes
Amazing work user!
Xavier Jenkins
You think the Stormhawk is less ugly than the Xiphon and Lightning? Get out of here.

I think the Nephilim/Dark Talon generally works better, and the XIX can actually get away with the wings on the wings.
Silly, user, your opponent cannot close combat if you are behind big walls.

Don't lie, user, that Iron Warrior is just playing dead until the Leviathan walks over him, allowing an ambush shot up into the Dreadnought's unprotected groin.
Truly Iron Within to show the importance of Iron Without.

Sky Hunter Phalanx to be updated please. Sky-Slayers and Javelins move to Elite slot. Lightnings move to Heavy. Make it the aerial equivalent of Armoured Breakthrough and I'd buy it every time.
