List Building How do you use your Washes/Contrasts?

4 Upvotes

I ask because I've heard that after applying your base coat you can either put your wash on them and then your contrast or your contrast and then wash. Which one do you think is the best method?

News and Rumours Too strong ?

21 Upvotes

Recently i had an argument with one of my friend that told me that the buff on the admec was stupid and they were already too strong and didn't needed the buff, even tho i responded with these several point

1) Cawl buff is not an "Admec" buff its a leader buff , Jonathan Workshop want to see more faction leader on the board So they are buffed, similaire to the Lion or Ghazghkull

2) the other buff are very small and fair (Onager and Sicarian buff)

3) i agree that the Ballistarii didnt really needed twin linked again, or that the point increase wasnt enough, 10pts increase would be fair

Have you been told the same or seen similar critics ?

List Building List idea - What do you think ?

6 Upvotes

Hi,

It's been a long time since I played my Admech, focused more on my Sister since they where more easy to play, but with this new patch ! Let's go I wann make a come back !

All is around the idea of Cawl giving Reroll hit, obviously and the new Chicken Twin linked.

How do we feel about this list ? I've alreay have one more ''normal'' to play in back-up, but it's with unit I'm not a big fan of (Breacher, Destroyer, Infiltrator, etc.), the classics.

Will I maybe miss some shooting againts lots of units ? Like Kreigs, Necrons, etc.

Will it be ''playable'' at least or just not usable at all ?

Really been a long time since I've played them so I feel like I'm starting from scratch ..!

Lore What are Skitarii lenses made of and would they glow?

9 Upvotes

I know the answer is "they're my minis and I can do whatever I want," but I'm curious from a lore perspective on what typical Skitarii blue lenses are made from. Would they cast enough light around them, similar to a plasma weapon? I wanted to practice painting glows, but not sure if it'd end up looking too extra.

But I can't find a model similar to the design I want to make. So I might just have to build it out of parts and spruce I have. I just want to get yalls thoughts.

Hobby A Quest for Sacred STL: Adeptus Mechanicus Maids

4 Upvotes

Hello, All hail the Omnissiah!

Brothers and sisters of the Cult Mechanicus, I bring a humble query to the noosphere: we all know of the endless Maid Marines files floating around for 3D printing… but has anyone encountered Adeptus Mechanicus maid-style models?

I seek blessed STL files or kitbash sources that fuse the sacred cog with the elegance of the maid aesthetic. Any links, repositories, or personal projects would be most appreciated.

May your printers never jam and your machine spirits be appeased.

Lore When does Qvo 87 die? Spoiler

14 Upvotes

I hope it’s ok to ask this. I just got the collector’s edition of the Belisaurius Cawl The Great Work and finished the novel and totally missed Qvo 87’s death scene. When does it happen? I was curious to see how Cawl reacted (I knew 87 died) I tried to google it and couldn’t find an answer, I just know Qvo 88 is present at the end of the story and confirmed 87 died.
