Re: Suicide Assassins
Um, yeah. I wouldn't do it. With people where it works, it's not that funny. When it doesn't work, it *really* won't work and has potential for causing great offence or upset. I think if it was something like goblin sneaky skulkers it'd be a little better, as they're incompetent and cowardly, so the...

Re: How to become a Demonslayer?
Daemons have ward saves but very little armour, so in general I'd say many attacks (like witches) are better than armour busting attacks (like exes) For characters, I'd suggest that you take both the 2+ ward against flame items, on the characters least likely to get look out sir saves (eg your peg r...

Ah, yes. Ooops. I was holding out on pics until after I'd based him to match my army. Then I got sidetracked painting up a bloodbowl team for a tourney, and haven't based him yet. Please don't take that as a reflection of how much I like him though, he really is a great figure and I can't wait to ge...

Payce, glad he fits in well! He was lots of fun to paint too.
And Rowena, the Manticore looks even better painted! I'll try and get some photos up before Xmas.

I was keeping my cool about this, but then yesterday had my postman leave me a "tried to deliver you a parcel and it won't fit through the letterbox" note. It could be a model I bought myself, but suddenly I'm all excited about the possibility that it's from my SS! Exciting times indeed!

At risk of asking daft questions, is this only for dark elf armies, or would any race be welcome? And what kind of time scale are you considering (ie finished by April, or end of 2015)?

Re: Assembling the raiding force
Thanks for the kind words. There probably won't be frequent updates, as I'm a little jaded to dark elves lately. Had the same thing with dwarves when I started my dark elves, and the change of army was a breath of fresh air. That said I'm painting dwarves again now, and I pushed myself further into ...

Re: Advice on parts for converting warlocks
I've converted up a unit of witch elves on steeds of slaneesh, and think they look good! A bit of greenstuffing was needed to get a pair of bent legs to fit the saddles, but some more modest loincloths than most witches have easily covered most of the affected area. If you do go down that route, I'd...

Re: Karl Franz Ascendant
Hellbrone should take a decent sized chunk out of him, for significantly fewer points. Maybe even have an assassin with OTS jump out to force him to re-roll ward saves... Other than that, an 8 assassin hit squad might leave a mark. He probably wouldn't worry about leaving his flank exposed to a unit...

Re: 2400 point tournament army list
I like it, and run a moderately similar list myself. I prefer a dreadlord too, as running around with an ogre blade, 1+ rerollable and a 5++ he's nails hard, but I can see going masters is also viable so go with whichever you prefer. One addition I would suggest is a k-beast, probably in place of th...

Re: Two quick painting questions
Alternate idea would be to make the torso detachable from the legs, with either a pin (or 2) or magnets. Then you can undercoat separately with spray. Also would make transport easier and allow you to model alternate torsos/mounts lest you want to have a BSB on cold one or a peg option for your lord.

Re: So who can tell me all about this whole "magnets" thing?
Slight addition to what has already been said: 16 cents per magnet might seem cheap compared to another box of models, but it's still pricey for magnets! A 2 minute check of ebay showed that £5 (approx $8) per hundred seems to be available from a range of suppliers, such as http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...

Great to hear it's working well for you!
As a minor rules clarification, doombolt is a magic missile, and under the description of MMs in the BRB, it states they can't be cast if the wizard is in combat. Sorry.

Re: How to dismantle Throgg & his trolls (in combat)?

Re: [PLOG] The vengence of Veysha Everkiss
When considering how stark to make the texture I'd ask if you're painting these for display or gaming, to be honest. Gaming minis are usually viewed from further away, so you need quite striking levels of contrast for the viewer to notice. Unfortunately (to my mind at least) that level of contrast l...
