  1. I thought i saw it on the arm of the pictured gargant. Check his wrist.
  2. Personally i would prefer new chapters that are represented with a chapter colour, a head and shoulder swap. Not thrilled to buy yet another series of new minis if it comes to that, lol.
  3. Its time to start sculpting your own out of green stuff. Or... toilet paper rolls. Both equally valuable.
  4. Barring some psychotic people, I don't think many people wish this type of harm upon themselves or others. So I don't think blame or responsibility should lie with them. Diseases happen, and with the way our population density and globalization keeps increasing, we are going to face more outbreaks like this, many could even be worse than Corona. What I feel is slightly rediculous is the fact that all of this could have been avoided if people practiced some proper hygiene. Also, acting before infections start, not after, would have been a huge help to avoid all this. If the quarantine started globally the moment they started seeing it spread to other countries, the disease could have been contained much easier. Yet, the majority just stood by waiting for stuff to get serious before taking any proper action.
  5. At times like this I wish games like warhammer underworlds wasnt locked behind a pay wall. I think GW really missed the mark in an era of F2P games where people can buy the cards/stuff they need ingame. Especially now in the whole quarantine.
  6. I had very bad results using on corax and grey seer myself, so seems the wraithbone is almost a must for these. I didnt for this model, but lahmian medium 1:9 ratio helps me more than contrast medium for proper flow.
  7. Purple? I did the skin with guilliman on wraith bone on this miniature, but can't seem to notice the purple. Do you have a bad pot perhaps?
  8. Guilliman flesh has hit and misses. It looks ok on small faces and applied thinly, basically human infantry. It worked out decently on my ogor tyrant's face as well, so happily slapped it onto the gluttons their body. I regret it because it just pools up in deep recesses without a proper way to control it. Its ok for tabletop standard, but damn, lol.
  9. As long as you dont use bright colours, orange, yellow, etc, most reds and browns go really well on a grey > white highlighted undercoat. I also tried white undercoat, cover whole mini with basillicum grey before you apply other colours for much richer shadows. It works decently, but I prefer the first method. It creates something along the lines of left side model. The right side model was a corax white prime, no highlights and just adding contrast.
  10. If you cant do it by looking at it, one way is to screenshot it and open it in paint and sample random areas to see what colour it is. I havent checked for the ruins, just guessing there are some purples in there :P. I am sure if you sample the highlights you will find just that. also, i have had decent results using very small ammounts of texture paint to add weathering to buildings and vehicles. I use make up sponges that i rip apart and kind of dry "sponge" blend some texture around here and there. Do it on a test piece first though since adding too much of it can just make it look way too messy instead
  11. Doing a grey like standard mechanicus, drybrushing it quite roughly and focus on the edges with your highlight colour, probably an off white in this case maybe celestra grey. Cover it all in a 9:1 mix black templar:lahmian medium. After that add sand texture here and there and I personally like to weather stuff by very lightly and very dry drybrushing with tyrant skull or the likes. This step is extremely easy to mess up and look unnatural. The less on your brush the better. Finally, after all that is done. There may be some powder all over your model from drybrushing. I tend to use a 1:1 mix of lahmian and aggrax earthshade to "wash" the dusting away where i don't want it to be. Also the aggrax adds some earth tones where needed. In your case however that may be a desired effect though to have some light dusting here and there. Also when i google conan exiles ruins... those ruins seem to almost have a slight purple tint to them. Maybe mess around mixing a tiny hit of purples into your black templar?
  12. Competitive-wise, Ironguts are much stronger than mournfang in damage output. I would suggest keeping the two handed weapons of your mournfang and pick up 1 or 2 extra units of gluttons and kitbash the weapons onto there to turn them into ironguts. The leftover mournfang bits can still be built using glutton leftover bits and some cutting to create 1-handed variations mournfang for friendly games. Edit: Also frostlord on stonehorns are stronger than huskards. Somebody did all the calculations on this forum a few weeks ago. So dont glue your huskard and create both a frostlord and huskard so you can swap them around in the future if rules change. They sit on the stonehorn quite stable anyways without glue. Lastly, I think 2 frostlords on stonehorns are superior to a huskard + beastriders in general.
  13. Well, even if we had warbands similar to the sepulchral guard, in the case of Eshin, 1 assassin,1 gutter runner and 6 or 7 nightrunners would already create enough variation in poses to just use then as counts-as units. I would gladly splurge 100 to 200 euro on 60 or so eshin friends. In fact if Spiteclaw had more models in the box I would have even used those. A part of me still hopes existing warbands that have been powercrept get an update in the form of new cards and a few extra models or something.
  14. I actually put my skaven purchases on hold until Eshin gets proper support. Its the year of the rat, so I have my fingers crossed for a big Skaven release wave.

    Really nice and clean paint job. The basing is amazing as well 😃

    Looks good, but I think you may have painted the wood at the bottom of the blade metallic =P. If you add the wood back and some eyes you have an amazing miniature for the tabletop^^.
  17. Just a tip. If you use contrast paint on the ogres. I personally had poor results with pure guilliman flesh because of excessive pooling in their folds, muscles and flat areas. I had better results with cadian flesh tone + highlighting with wraithbone and then using a wash of 50:50 reikland flesh:lahmian medium. All other parts on the ogors contrast worked great :).
  18. The thundertusks arent as efficient unfortunately, but still decent. If you want variety go with gluttons instead of mournfang.
  19. Well if you need the bear trap let me know or any of the other bits for that matter. Where do you live?
  20. A sad day for all Skaven fanatics :(. On the plus side.... The mortar crew were perfect acolytes.
  21. Your best bet is trying on forums like these in the buy and sell section. I am personally looking for two handers from ironguts since they are out of stock on GW's site. In case of the bear trap, i assume you need the one on the chain? If so, I probably have one. And the fur pelt, I can probably miss 1, since I want variety on my ironblasters anyways. I'm afraid I can't help with the scraplauncher crew, since I plan to convert them to gnoblars
  22. The ogors of blood bowl are great if you have some glutton bits leftover. 2 of the running ones are pretty much useless, but you will have a lot of spare gnoblars
  23. Anyone else considering to pick up the nurgle wurmspat warband for ogor conversions? The models their poses and size seems decent to de-nurglify and kitbash with some ogor bits to create some maneaters or butchers.
  24. Maybe you can go for a very dark basing to make them pop out even more? Lovely colourscheme!
