Goddamn it's been too long

Kept missing invites for this discord then find Sadmin's been dropping hot lewds here instead of on the patch discord

Jebas they even nuked the "sadmin 2" backup?

Rude

Ah well

Legitimately fucking eager for the deadeye patch

Mind you I said that about Going Commando and then missed the fucking drop

Hey man no worries gives my wallet time to think it's safe again

(it's never safe holy shit)

Because fuck GW's vehicle kits, they're awful to build and expensive

logic goes their Rhino STC was corrupted beyond use, so they bought some "ancient technology" from the Dark Mechanicus

turns out the Pz.IV chassis is still pretty good when made out of M41 materials

yeah they're still very much WIP

the vinyl tracks didn't last long with TT use

so now I'm looking at buying white metal tracks and just fucking up my wallet's shit

$50 a set

but ostketten will look fucking tasty on them

I'm abysmally slow at painting so pretty much everything is on the backlog

really need to finish chopping up the second Jag into a Rhino and throw at least some base colours on them

going with the standard german grey since the whole army is blitzkrieg/urban themed Iron Warriors

I got a metal barrel and muzzle for the Pz.IV's long 75

got some of those in PaK 40 kits years ago and never looked back since

no seam lines, perfect machined precision, they're delicious

also stuck a meltagun on the turret pintle since I run it stock with just the A/C and a combi-melta for popping stuff up close

it's cheap and makes a good distraction/mobile cover while my Rhinos filled with angry get into position

I'm trying to be disciplined

I've wanted to do a DarkMech force ever since Admech came out

hah

well I'm not sure it counts but I've been in the game for... 15 years

a solid 8 of that was a hiatus from being sick of GW's shit though

I don't hate the CAD minis

er...

I mean, maybe?

oh god yeah I'm sure hordes is expensive as fuck now

it used to be cool when a force was like... a caster, two Jacks and some grunts

stuff like FoW is dirt cheap by comparison though

and Gaslands has taken root in my brain

oh shit yeah

I've got like... 2k of Necrons but I barely use them because their lore has kind of fallen on it's ass

I don't hate the new lore but it's kinda gone campy

moreso the last straw for me was the 5E release that was literally "nerf everything old and make the new shit must-buy"

tomb blades being blatantly superior to Destroyers, the pedal cars, the flat out obsolescence of Gauss Immortals

and since then the army has just bloated beyond control that now 50+ Warriors is like... the norm

or at least 20 Immortals

oh god Tau in 5-7E was just... just no...

my 'crons was 2k in 4th so it's probably like... less than 1200 now

fucking hell

mind you, you said you're near Warhammer World so obviously a pom

Ausfag

import tax is a myth

nope that's just a thin excuse for blatant price gouging

"it's expensive ot import guys, honest :^)"

did you hear about us getting slapped with a 40% price increase

"the fuck you gonna do scrubs"

"uh, buy from china?"

"RRREEEEE"

not sure I've only dipped my toe into recasting

did a test order from a guy and got a fucking magnificent Leviathan cast

lucius is the oldskool one FW first came out with, right?

and Mars is the doggo one

yeah I love the lucius

it'd be fun if they did a "Lucius" pattern Warlord like the graphic novels etc

the giant box boi

yep

I've seen one in the flesh and they're still fucking impressive

I honestly like that visual style more on the big Titans more than the Knights

christ

and I want Armigers

the thirst is real

yeah I'm trying to be responsible

but the moment my main list is done the Leviathan is gettinig worked on and I'll get some Armigers to make some 500pt bolt ons

thinking levi+vindicator for a close range "fuck your shit" addition, and two Armigers and a las pred for a ranged addition

also next recast buy is totally going to be a dorito

oh man

what do they get?

sounds like my Rapier batteries

oho NICE

nonetheless

I'd be dividing them up for 3 targets anyway

very tasty

Rapiers are fun

oh I have exactly what you'd want

german rangefinder and spotting equipment in 1/35 scale

found it at Mr Toys but hang on

https://www.scalemates.com/kits/105671-tristar-35033-sf-14z-periscope-and-rk-31-aiming-scope-set

Yep I bought it just for bits

Going to strap one of the periscope sets to a DarkMech ranger's face as a spotter for an Arquebus gunner in Kill Team

The whole German themed madness started with some PaK-40s I turned into Rapiers

And now I want to do scenic bases for them and the crew with sandbags and equipment

Added bonus it has a brass fret of carry straps which make perfect weapon slings in a pinch

A sandbag dugout would be a better opportunity to show off the scope etc

Fair enough

goddamn yeah it would buff EVERY gun

take a Stormhammer just to be a cunt

tasty

Stormhammer would work well with Catachans too and sabers

take twin battle cannons on both the hull and turret, re-roll any bad "D6 shots" dice, get +1 on the ungodly number of shots you are likely to pump out
