Painting Metal with Non-Metalic Paints

I have seen a number of references to people using non-metalic paints to get metalic effects. A number of Golden Demon awrd winners seem to use this type of technique, and I have seen examples in different pictures on the web. Is there a good website that gives a step-by-step on using non-metalic pa...

I would take the Beastmaster/Manticore option, but no big monsters until appropriate territories are captured. I am thinking of using the Garrison army list from the annual instead of the regular DE list. That way, I can take a core unit of Cold One knights, which would serve me well in these beginn...

Re: Final 2000pts Grand Tournament Army

LORD Highborn with HA, SDC & S. On a CO. Has CD, CoBI & SoG. 277pts (Will lead the CoK's.) Does "SoG" stand for Shield of Ghrond or Seal of Ghrond? If it is the seal, then he's illegal for having 2 talismans. If it is the shield, then you spent points on a mundane shield and a magic shield. And wha...

yep, it really isn't that easy Fluffwise you could say they still get the benefits cause they drink it before battle. Rulewise you could say it's a magic item/ability and thus the WE wouldn't benefit from the effects anymore after the hag is killed. I'd also say the don't get the benefits anymore a...

Starting Campaign List - 500 points

I'm starting a campaign next week. The points value for the first couple games is limited to 500 points, and until territories are captured, we can only use core troops. Obviously, with only 4 core choices, options are limited. This is what I'm am thinking of using for my first battle (opponent unkn...

A Noble is my usual pick for the Chariot. (He becomes my General, when I field a Sorceress Lvl. 4 on Pegasus) The Chariot moves beside the Corsairs or Witches and is supposed to reach flanks. (He has US of 5, thanks to the noble) So I can get Bonus on CR for Flank CHarges and can negate ranks. I fi...

HORRIBLE IDEA!!!

Putting a character on a chariot is a VERY bad idea. Here are two big reasons: 1) Lack of mobility. Although you have a good charge range, chariots cannot march. If your opponent makes an effort to stay out of charge range, you can only move 7" per turn, just slightly better than dwarfs. 2) Chariots...

Corsairs in a Har Ganeth army?

Seems to me that from a fluff perspective, spearmen would be better than corsairs. Right now the army seems to have a split personality between a Har Ganeth army and a Black Ark raiding group. From a tactical perspective, I think you should have at least a couple Dark Riders units for march interdic...

1. Make your noble your general, he has the same Ld as your HS and is most likely closer to your COC in melee and thus having more of an impact on their checks. 2. Why give your HS the web of shadows but nothing to save her from harm?? Drop the web. Give her perhaps the Crown of Black Iron for some...

Here's a list with absolutely no shooting except for hydra breath. A number of nasty, hard hitting, fear and terror causing units, but not much in the way of rank bonuses. Comments appreciated.

I would go with a lot of CW's on foot coupled with units of marauder horse to protect you flanks. High elf cavalry is only strength 5 on the charge. Although against most enemies that's pretty good, dragon princes and silver helms will have serious trouble breaking toughness 4, high armor save CWs o...

For a sorceress on foot, just use the hag model that comes with the cauldron of bood (the one with the sword in one hand, chalice in ther other). It's a great looking model perfect for the part.

I partially assemble my plastics, painting parton the sprue and part assembled on the base. I put the head, torso, and legs together on the base and paint it without arms. Putting the arms on first makes it hard to reach certain areas of the body. It's not that hard to remove mold lines when bits ar...

The first anti-Wood Elf option is to armor up and take as many cold-ones as possible. Wood Elves do not like to see heavily armored cavalry thundering their way. The worst nightmare for Wood Elves is an Empire or Chaos army stcked with heavy cavalry. The Dark Elves can't match their 1+ armor save, b...
