But first I had to finish painting one of them.

This is my first time working with resin of any sort, let alone the infamous “failcast”, so I wanted to ask for some tips and pointers when it comes to dealing with the material.

Is there anything I should know about it vs standard mini plastic? Anything I need to do prior to priming? I heard ist brittle, what’s the best way of avoiding accidentally damaging it and is there any way to strengthen fonecast minis? Should I use super glue or does resin have its own cement? Etc etc

I know the Dark Krakens are based out of Naktis, but is there a garrison of Astra Militarum on that planet as well?

Welp. Since I was a kid I wanted a red and white tau army because they reminded me of shock troopers from star wars... Only kid-me didn't know an existing tau sept also uses red and white...

Now its always "oh you painted vior'la? Neat! So did every single other tau player."

Besides that, I think a more camouflaged tau army fits my current aesthetic. Anyone have some good mass-stripping methods?

I'm just curious how much it would cost to buy 1 of each set (no dups, so if I buy a set then I don't need to buy the single set) (images for reference).

Started playing back in the 90s, but got rid of all my stuff quite a few years before COVID. Was randomly poking around Reddit and saw all the Horus Heresy stuff, thought maybe I'd pick up a few things and put together a couple squads or so. Loved Chaos and Iron Warriors when I started and saw somewhere that Iron Warriors mix and match equipment? What else could I pick up to get that vibe in a few squads?

Which Chaos god would you say is most associated with Ghosts and spirits, or the dead in general?

Edit... What I am looking to do, so that answers would have more insight to my question, I have been playing swtor and I found a piece of art work in the Dark Temple of twisted faces and they look like ghost faces to me. I would like to create a chaos Knight house that is Ghost or spirit focused and paint the twisted faces on the armor panels.

Hi everyone :) I had a technical question about Tamiya X20A thinner - normally I paint with Vallejo/Scale75/AK paints using Vallejo thinner for the most part (sometimes AK).

Recently I picked up Tamiya X20A to try with some Citadel paints as I’ve heard good things about airbrushing Citadel paints using X20A for flow and consistency.

I was working on a test scheme for a space marine project, and tried to use X20A with Vallejo paint and it had the opposite effect intended… gunked my airbrush right up - worse than I’ve ever had it clog…took me a solid 30 minutes to clean it and get it working again.

Any tips for using X20A with other brands of paint aside from Tamiya? I understand that X20A is formulated for Tamiya “acrylics” that aren’t really proper water based acrylics, but figured since AK thinner is also alcohol based and worked with Vallejo paints that I wouldn’t turn my paint to mud…

If it’s consequential, I’m using an Iwata eclipse HP-CS

If anyone has sage wisdom to share it would be greatly appreciated!

So I run Blood Angels while my buddy has Grey Knights. We’re new to the hobby and we have only finished 2 games against each other but each time he pounded my ass into the ground. We’re playing a 2000 point game rn on Tabletop Simulator and it’s happening again.

They are so tanky and get in so many hits while I struggle to damage any of his bigger guys.

Maybe I’m using my units wrong? How should DC Jump Pack Marines and Sanguinary Guard behave on the board? Also, are Jump Intercessors even worth it or should I just stick to regular Assault Ints?
