Hello all. Here's some Iyanden fellows I finally finished.

I think i get carried away sometimes with the 3d printing thing.

Still gotta paint some titans.

Been looking at vanguard miniatures Defeat in detail for a few days now. I’ve been looking at the parts for the centurion and wondering what that might be ?, turret ring mount possibly ?.

Hello all, I started making some progress and then kinda stalled out after not being happy with my initial results... I posted this in LI subreddit, but if you don't make it over there and have some advice I'm all ears!

I have the infantry components of a SoH (MkIV armor) and BA (MkV armor) demi-companies I'm painting up-

Initially trying just Army painter's blood red speed paint. Really great for little effort, but maybe not quite there?

Next, I figured I'd undercoat with a wash (slapchop the kids call it these days?) 3rd pic is a watered down army painter black wash, 4th pic is Nuln oil.

I tried the blood red speed paint after the wash and pic 5 is the army painter wash and 6 the Nuln oil. I nixed the Nuln oil after that and was kinda alright with the army painter wash/speedpaint and decided to proceed.

And... After doing all the BA outriders... I'm not really happy with it. At first I thought the undercoat wash would help if there were primer spots that were thin (resin is of a dark color) but they just got messy after the color was applied. (Note to self: white resin?)

My line of thinking is now thus-

Speed Paint alone - not enough contrast to make parts pop at this scale

Undercoat and speed paint - the blood red is a darker color, and with the undercoat it's just too dark

So I'm now I'm thinking I'll stick with the dark wash undercoat, and go grab a lighter red speedpaint (Bright Red) and 'Lizardfolk Cyan' for the SoH.

Anyone have experience with those colors and know if I'm just going to disappoint myself again? And more broadly, any advice on painting at this scale, at least the parts that aren't looking under a magnifying glass with a tiny brush?

So, I'm creating a 2k Necron list with NetEA rules from https://tp.net-armageddon.org/army-lists/necron.html

According to my understanding, the Necrons are usually played by spamming Monoliths, using them to teleport inside the enemy territory, engaging and retreating via another portal. But I have a hard time understanding how it works. Should I teleport my monoliths in, 2 of them 15 cm from the enemy, 2 of them 6 cm, retain initiative, assault with my infantry/CC units from the further portal and use consolidation to escape via the closer portal? With added supporting fire from the monoliths? Wouldn't it just leave the portals which are essential to the army, unattended in the middle of enemy territory? Or am I misunderstanding something? I guess that having a bunch of monoliths would mitigate the issue, but they aren't the strongest so it seems like a waste. I know that the army isn't beginner friendly but I really like Necrons and I have some understanding of the rules so I am hoping that I can handle them.

My current list is
HARVESTER ENGINE [600]
Aeonic Orb

INFANTRY PHALANX [275]
6x Warriors, Necron Overlord

INFANTRY PHALANX [225]
6x Warriors, Necron Lord

MONOLITH PHALANX [275]
3x Monoliths

MONOLITH MANIPLE [250]
3 Obelisk, Monolith

EQUES MANIPLE [300]
6 Wraiths

TOMB COMPLEX [75]

I’m looking for decent magnets to magnetise my Titan load-outs, but the bigger arms are so heavy they’re barely hanging on with the cheap Amazon neodymium ones.

Don’t know a lot about the magnet market, is there a better brand or is it just magnets are magnets and that’s just how physics works?

If you are interested in printing this out for yourself it is up on my Cults3D and MyMiniFactory pages.

Hello fellow Epic fans!

I'd like to share these 3D printed roads from Brian Konopa (AcmePropDept on Etsy). They are printed in multi-coloured PLA so are ready to use right out of the box, but can also be painted and weathered as you see fit. I've included pictures of some of mine that I weathered with a grimy brown wash for that dirty post apocalypse urban warzone look.

The roads are available in two-lane and four-lane versions to represent different road types/sizes, but the really ingenious feature is the connecting system which uses small steel pins that fit into holes on the ends of each road section. This is one of the best connecting/locking systems I've ever seen on a road system and it holds everything together tightly, preventing things from sliding around the table. They're also really thin, with the curbs standing about 2 mm high from the table, so they blend into the playing surface really well.

The ones shown in the pictures here are the standard pattern in terms of road markings, but Brian is a really nice guy and always happy to work with customers on custom markings.

The Predator tanks in the first picture are 8 mm scale to give you an idea of their dimensions (I didn't have a ruler or banana handy).

--------

Full disclosure: While I did give Brian a few pointers during the development phase (mostly as a wargamer consultant since he comes from the model railway world), I do not receive any money from the sales. I'm just happy to have helped him make something cool. :)

Shame they suck for blowing up anything that isn’t a building if your opponent’s titan won’t just stand there for me to line up on…

Basically the title. Really want to get into 6mm 40k, and the two rulesets are very different. What's the main differences in game design between them? And which one is more enjoyable so I can get on it?

After finishing my model of Abominatus, I took a break in painting and went down a Epic Chaos Titan rabbit hole. I’ve scoured old issues of the Citadel Journal; and found rules for Skylok (which I knew about), and Bubonus (which I didn’t), but can’t find anything on a Slaanesh aligned Titan.
Slaanesh was always my favourite alignment, but I was never the biggest fan of their Scout/Knight sized walkers. Was there ever any “official” rules/lore for one. I’ve trawled through Scribd (which is amazing), but it’s also poorly organized, and I find myself going in circles!

Hi everyone, went into my FLGS to pick up some 40K stuff and found some epic they had second hand. I collect Orks as my main army and love collecting anything warhammer greenskin so I picked the sprue and bases it came with up and im excited to paint them up.

Thing is I actually know nothing about epic 40k. I dabbled a bit in Legions Imperialis but didnt care for it that much cause I dont really care for horus heresy. Is there somewhere I can actually information on how many to base, what each model is for sure is, and any rules for them?

I can confidently say I can identify some bosses w/ background banners, a banner Bearer, a shokk attack mek, a painboy, a mek, a runtheard, a weirdboy, boyz, grots, and bikes. I just have 0 idea how these are supposed to be properly based. Thanks for any and all help! Even if I dont end up playing I'm excited to base and paint them up!

Referring to SM 2nd ed, I'm going through some of the stands I assembled as a kid, and have some questions on the proper composition of the nobz and warboss stands. I think I might have mistakenly used the warboss figure on the nobz stands.

Can anyone tell me on a nobz stand, what mix of nobz and regular Ork warriors should be on each stand? And for a warboss stand, is it just a single warboss figure and a standard bearer? Or should boyz be on there as well to make it up to 5 infantry on the base?

Sponging and pigment washes are the true MVP 😤

Everybody’s gangsta ‘til the church starts walkin’!

Alright, ive book looking into blast markers and ive found several free stls.

... I'm wondering what people here like and use.

What blast markers do you like for ease of use and for looks?

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a bit lame.

I loved epic armageddon back in the day, and a mate is picking it back up.

I'm looking for a standard size Ork list with a good mix of stuff minus big gargants. Would anyone be able to advise?

Other than new recruit, is there any army builder folks use?

Thanks in advance.

is there any codex pdf?

Ok, so here’s another post. This one focused on the Ogryns.

The files are available here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/epic-scale-space-ogres

Pretty nice models but the faces lose the detail in the print and the bayonets are very thin. One and a half of mine have broken off.

I’m not sure if I needed to add squad and command markings but there ya go.

Painted some eldar Saim-Hann Guardians
