  1. Hi

     

    Sorry if the post i'm looking for is in a very obvious place (I did look and try and search before posting).

     

    Is there still a stickied post setting out the square to round base conversions? I've got a bunch of square based stuff under the bed that I really need to get AOS ready.

     

    Thanks

  2. This might be a silly question but what am i missing here:

     

    Q: Does the note in the Pitched Battle profile for Tzaangors in the Beasts of Chaos battletome mean that they can only ever be Battleline if they are included in a Beasts of Chaos army with a Tzaangor Shaman as their general? A: No. Tzaangors are only not Battleline units when they are taken as part of a Beasts of Chaos army that does not have a Tzaangor Shaman as its general.

    Other than the 'No' in the answer what is the difference between what the questions asks and what the answer is?

     

  3. My AOS app has updated recently and it looks like the main update is to add a Malign Portents tab. However, under the battlescrolls tab the faction drop down button has 'aelf' appear twice and when you click on it, it crashes out.

     

    Dunno if this is a straight up bug or an unintended hint at another faction on its way.

     

    Edit: Scrap that - the update has made the app screwy - don't think there is anything to read into.

  4. Be gentle, these are my first attempts in about 20 years. All intended to me tabletop standard by the end of the long long process!

     

    Currently working on layering Scorpion brass on the Liberator. This is after basing warlock Bronze and washing with Agrax Earthshade. I am a little worries that the two colours are too different for a nice transition. Will hopefully do the hilt, shield and shoulders red but not fussed about the other detail. In terms of layering I am a little confused. Am I supposed to paint everything but the recesses such that the bronze is a true base (i.e. not visible at the end of the process, save in the recesses)?

    Also working on a Retributor. Currently adding red to the hilt of the weapon and hair. Currently on coat 3 and can see it will need a couple more to cover.

    Finally working on the Slaughterpriest for the comp, but realize i've no chance of hitting the deadline now. Put some flesh colour on the body with a bit of wash but going to put a lighter layer over the top. I've also added the first base coat on the areas that will definitely be metal. Thinking of doing dirty rag colour for helm and 'skirt'. Worried that the helm may blend too much with the horns if I do that though. Alternatively, thinking of doing it black and drybrushing grey (not tried drybrushing yet!).

    I've been constructing the models before painting and finding that I am having some difficulty with accessing certain areas and that the primer hasn't hit them either e.g. between Retributor's 'back pack' and back. It's only really noticeable if you're looking for it. Do people just put up with this sort of thing (I don't want to paint then construct) or are there sneaky techniques to get a brush where no paint has gone before?
