I didn't even know it could be built as two things
The gunship looks pretty cool
Yea, both are pretty fun. The 16 model capacity for the stormwolf makes it amusing because you can drop an entire squad of blood claws with an HQ in front of someone.
I ended up magnetizing mine. It isn't too much of a pain, the only part that gets weird is the part where the frost cannon comes out of. The hatch for the stormwolf covers it entirely so I used the gunship hatch and magnetized a big frost shield to sit there when it is a transport. Trying to magnetize both hatches was such a pain in the ass.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
I found a BaC Contemptor Dreadnought sprue yesterday that I had picked up dirt cheap mobths ago and promptly forgot about, and built it with two Multi-Melta arms. I think this brings my total Dreadnought count to 10 or 11.
I was able to pick up a Chaplain Venerable Dreadnought a little while back, so I think for kicks my next 40k game is going to be a March of the Dreadnoughts list. I just have to talk my opponent into running Orks and taking a Dreadmob for added hilarity.
Her hands are a bit weirdly painted I guess but otherwise she just looks very muscular?
Each one of her abs is approximately the size of her head, I think that may be throwing the whole torso proportions off.
I think if the shot was at an angle to better show off what I'm assuming is a robot foot, rather than having it face straight at the camera, that might help the front leg look better. As it is, the armored leg piece kind of distorts the leg proportions which isn't doing it many favors.

Well, she's a Catachan, so she's gotta be super-buff. Also, the armored leg piece is absolutely a robo-leg, which is why it's lookin' weird. Maybe another angle will make it look better to you, but I think it looks great.
GW's weird "super contrasted colors and edge highlighting out the ass so the model's lines are easier to see in pictures on the website and in the magazine" painting style is not doing that model any favors.

It's weird, but it's also the default painting style for players now. I prefer when stuff looked a bit less high contrast and generally grimier.

A lot of new players probably watch GW's painting tutorials when they get started, which leads to a majority of painters following their style.
The standard GW "Basecoat, wash, highlight" painting system is very easy to use, and you can start getting decent looking results fairly early on, so that only pushes the adoption rates higher.

I feel like websites and magazines are where the style is weakest, since everything pops when it's front and center and it's got tons of lighting plus a high powered camera pointed at it. More realistic paint jobs shine in such conditions. I think GW's house style stands out well on the tabletop, bringing out details where lighting usually isn't ideal and minis are actually miniature in your vision.
Part of me likes the gw style now because it makes a lot more sense compared to the old style of take your best guess with our vague hints
As you would get a rather flat looking model and others professing the ideals of highlights or such back then would not be helpful
Or thier indepth guides from then were ok but not helpful to those with little art knowledge

I need a better way to store all my 40K stuff. I'm getting so annoyed by the mess in the family room where it all is. I bought containers to hold the terrain but all the models sitting around unorganized and all over the place is really starting to frustrate me. I also have fuck tons of magic cards sitting around that I'm considering throwing away. Just gonna take the rares and mythics out and throw away the rest.

For the longest time I was shite about storing my assembled stuff. Eventually I bought some of the feldherr foam and the cardboard boxes for it.
Should have done it long ago. At the time it felt a bit guff, I could have spent that money on MOAR MINIS but a safe place to plonk half painted. Or assembled stuff.
Super nice. Pulling a model out and it's not dusty, broken or chipped is just plain worth it in the long run.

I just sold my tyranids today... I don't know that I need more minis right now. Investing in one of these cases might be a good plan.
Currently all my stuff is in clear plastic totes that I've sealed metal sheets inside (all my minis are magnetized). They're good for storage but not great for transport.
The feldherr stuff seems better for transport than what I'm using.
What size of a mini fits in a "standard size figures" foam insert?

This one I get more. EC termi bomb is something I have wanted to try really badly. It basically has a guaranteed charge. And they can do crazy close combat damage. They can be T5 or 4 attacks on the charge from elixirs. Excessive violence means they clear hordes. Cruel duelist can make those axes -3 ap. The possessed bomb is interesting to me. First its not nurgle so they are giving up the -1 to hit with it. And untargetable from AL. But you can add +2 to charge from terrain and +1 to hit. Prey the weak can go off easily.

I agree
I got a couple of the Gw cases and well they are a mixed bag both 2nd hand and used . They are ok for plastic minis suck for metal and are dubious for what little resin ones I have. But when it comes to the larger and very delicate I have to find other options
I have a pistol case my eldar live in since I got it and a series of plano containers for my black templars
The problem is the pistol case worked for the minis and I left the vehicles out so I lost or broke things over time
One of my goals this year is to start the horde of termagants but storing them after I am done is going to be a huge problem so it's a choice of the bag or I really get a container but I have carnifex, hive tyrants, warriors and so on so I am tempted to get one of the medium containers and with a series of foam to put them away that way. So getting the foam is now the problem
I have NO idea how to put away my Dok army as it's both delicate with the Khinerai and awkward with the cauldron
Generally I just store the armies/units in plastic bags inside boxes when they are just grey plastic painted I make some effort to find a container to put away

I do have two army carrier cases with foam but I have too much stuff to really use them. Or at least I did. One came with the massive chunk of Space Wolves I bought off of someone and the other one came with a bunch of Necrons I bought.
I feel like I can comfortably put all of my none Primaris models into one case besides wulfen and HQs since I never use any of them anymore. I can also at least store all of my Necron Warriors into the other since I never use them.
I also gave up on trying to fix the broken Warriors, about 30 or so of the 96. I'm just gonna use them to test paint schemes and paint in general. Too much of a hassle to fix up.

So Duncan "Two Thin Coats" Rhodes left GW and Warhammer TV to...
... recreate Warhammer TV in his own name. It even has the same sound transitions! It is amusing seeing him use a dinner plate (?) as a palette and suggest Army Painter paints and Brushes offhand. And he has enabled comments! The mad fool!
There's a rumor that GW is pulling a crackdown on GW staff doing anything on social media that might compete with GW social media projects. For example, Darren Latham, who is a minis designer and 'Eavy Metal painter, had to pull his channel down abruptly and out of the blue:
The replies are full of people talking about it, and his voice keeps cracking towards the end. People are saying Duncan left GW because he disagreed with the crackdown.

Just to be devils advocate for a second, but I don't think a company asking employees not to compete with them in their spare time is unreasonable. In fact, every company I've worked for (and I'm UK based) has had something to that effect in the contract, as well as a social media policy.
To an extent yes. But the nature of the miniture hobby means this would be like being banned from having a programming tutorial channel if you worked at google.
Which they might actually do.
At the end of the day, this is Games Workshop being Games Workshop.
An aside, I don't wtf GW think they are doing with WarhammerTV twitch channel. Why do I need to pay to sub to the channel to view old videos. Most of them are saturday morning cartoon stile ads for their products

That doesn't sound like the same thing, unless Google publishes its own programming tutorial channel. This seems more like a video game company's employees running their own fan pages or guides for the company's games... which seems kind of not okay. Like, I wouldn't expect to find a Google employee running a Gmail tips and tricks blog on their own time. It's outside all the reviews and approvals that in-house materials have to go through, and gives the impression that the company is profiteering off of free labor.
I feel GW did move on from being the monolithic company they were being more open about their product and how it's seen. alas
There are far too many channels and fan groups for Gw to influence them all. I liked the almost daily painting/content stuff they had up but seeing the weekly painting duo semo and then whatever previews seems lazy
I think there's a substantial difference between trying to influence fan channels and trying to avoid your own employees effectively competing with you. It sucks for the people involved but I dunno if GW's really doing anything wrong here.
GW isn't selling painting tutorials or gameplay tips though, they're selling miniatures and the rulebooks for those miniatures. All of those youtube channels are just free advertising for them, these employees were basically doing free promotional work on the side, it feels truly stupid to silence them.
The sentence "it competes with Warhammer TV" is just ludicrous to me, Warhammer TV isn't their product, Warhammer TV is the commercial for their products! If your employees are making amateur commercials that are as or more effective than your official commercials... how is that bad?
If I made a YouTube commercial for my company's products, I doubt that they'd ask me to stop. They'd just straight up fire me for violating the social media policies.
For an employee, I think it seems wildly inappropriate to go online and offer technical support or host a Reddit AMA for your company if that's not your job. If it's equal or better than what the actual employees are doing, you're screwing up the perception of their merit and showing that they don't deserve to be paid. If it's worse, you're putting your company in a bad light. Plus it looks bad for employees to be generating non-company owned content when it's related to their product.

Yeah, we’ve got a bunch of people who are using the GW brand, and their association with it, to add extra cachet to their product, except they’re not doing it with authorisation or oversight from GW.
Duncan Rhodes literally just leveraged that notoriety¹ into becoming an independent competitor.
I am really not surprised they are doing this at all.
¹ at this point whether the crack-down is a response or a trigger to this is broadly irrelevant and all public info either way is hearsay.
GW has to be hyperprotective of their brand, they're not doing anything wrong. If the biggest complaint is model prices, the last thing they want is for one of their employees to be demonstrating just how well an alternative company's cheaper bit looks on one of their models. Most of the decisions they make are to protect their IP (you ever wonder why all of the new art only features characters that look exactly like the models they sell? How is it that the same five Chaos cultists are present at every major chaos-involved battle since the beginning of 8th Edition?), and I think it mainly stems from the Chapterhouse lawsuit.
I'm glad that Duncan gets to branch out now, being independent means he doesn't have to worry about dogfooding anymore (in his first video he has already started using some non-GW brushes and mentioned a non-GW spraycan) and I think it's cool that his cameraman partnered with him. I've definitely gotten more than $5/month worth of value from his previous videos at GW, so I have no problems with kicking in $5 a month once the new site is fully live.

It does, actually, yes. The court found that if GW doesn't make a figurine to match the art, someone else can, and GW can't do anything about it. So now all art matches the figurines matches the art.
Edit: On the flip side, this means when 3D Printing breaks the barrier in a year or two, that means GW can't complain if you make your own original GW compatible model range for 3D Printers.
Well, you know they will, but in theory they can't.
Duncan sent out his first newsletter. This segment is interesting:
At the moment we are hard at work filming as many videos as we can in time for the opening of the site at the end of the month! These videos cover a wide variety of subjects including (but not limited to) Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Bolt Action, Fallout Wasteland Warfare, and A Song of Ice and Fire. The models are coming in all shapes and sizes too!
He's definitely not going to be winning any friends at GW with his new site, that's for sure.
GW just sent an email out talking about all of their painting tutorial videos/the paint app as well.

I was shocked when Darren did a White Scars video and prefaced it by saying he had talked to the 'Eavy Metal folks and he was using their exact recipe. That he was allowed to keep his job is actually showing tremendous grace on GW's part.
If GW didn't have a non-compete clause in its employment contract it sure as hell does now. These are super common in any industry that involves making or designing stuff. GW is not in the wrong on this.

See, the thing is, GW is in this odd in between space, where they want a better social media presence, which means they want some of these people to be personalities, like Duncan and Darren, but making them "hobby celebs" or "brand ambassadors" by accident or intentionally, would presumably entail them getting paid a bit more, a bit more support, etc. Which they aren't doing.

Wait, is the 'Eavy Metal color scheme a trade secret or something? They literally put it in the pamphlets that come with Space Marines.

I agree
I got a couple of the Gw cases and well they are a mixed bag both 2nd hand and used . They are ok for plastic minis suck for metal and are dubious for what little resin ones I have. But when it comes to the larger and very delicate I have to find other options
I have a pistol case my eldar live in since I got it and a series of plano containers for my black templars
The problem is the pistol case worked for the minis and I left the vehicles out so I lost or broke things over time
One of my goals this year is to start the horde of termagants but storing them after I am done is going to be a huge problem so it's a choice of the bag or I really get a container but I have carnifex, hive tyrants, warriors and so on so I am tempted to get one of the medium containers and with a series of foam to put them away that way. So getting the foam is now the problem
I have NO idea how to put away my Dok army as it's both delicate with the Khinerai and awkward with the cauldron
Generally I just store the armies/units in plastic bags inside boxes when they are just grey plastic painted I make some effort to find a container to put away
I feel like I can comfortably put all of my none Primaris models into one case besides wulfen and HQs since I never use any of them anymore. I can also at least store all of my Necron Warriors into the other since I never use them.
I also gave up on trying to fix the broken Warriors, about 30 or so of the 96. I'm just gonna use them to test paint schemes and paint in general. Too much of a hassle to fix up.

So Duncan "Two Thin Coats" Rhodes left GW and Warhammer TV to...
... recreate Warhammer TV in his own name. It even has the same sound transitions! It is amusing seeing him use a dinner plate (?) as a palette and suggest Army Painter paints and Brushes offhand. And he has enabled comments! The mad fool!
There's a rumor that GW is pulling a crackdown on GW staff doing anything on social media that might compete with GW social media projects. For example, Darren Latham, who is a minis designer and 'Eavy Metal painter, had to pull his channel down abruptly and out of the blue:
The replies are full of people talking about it, and his voice keeps cracking towards the end. People are saying Duncan left GW because he disagreed with the crackdown.
Just to be devils advocate for a second, but I don't think a company asking employees not to compete with them in their spare time is unreasonable. In fact, every company I've worked for (and I'm UK based) has had something to that effect in the contract, as well as a social media policy.
Which they might actually do.
At the end of the day, this is Games Workshop being Games Workshop.
An aside, I don't wtf GW think they are doing with WarhammerTV twitch channel. Why do I need to pay to sub to the channel to view old videos. Most of them are saturday morning cartoon stile ads for their products
.
Island. Being on fire.
Yeah thats basically just SOP in my field
That doesn't sound like the same thing, unless Google publishes its own programming tutorial channel. This seems more like a video game company's employees running their own fan pages or guides for the company's games... which seems kind of not okay. Like, I wouldn't expect to find a Google employee running a Gmail tips and tricks blog on their own time. It's outside all the reviews and approvals that in-house materials have to go through, and gives the impression that the company is profiteering off of free labor.
There are far too many channels and fan groups for Gw to influence them all. I liked the almost daily painting/content stuff they had up but seeing the weekly painting duo semo and then whatever previews seems lazy
The sentence "it competes with Warhammer TV" is just ludicrous to me, Warhammer TV isn't their product, Warhammer TV is the commercial for their products! If your employees are making amateur commercials that are as or more effective than your official commercials... how is that bad?
For an employee, I think it seems wildly inappropriate to go online and offer technical support or host a Reddit AMA for your company if that's not your job. If it's equal or better than what the actual employees are doing, you're screwing up the perception of their merit and showing that they don't deserve to be paid. If it's worse, you're putting your company in a bad light. Plus it looks bad for employees to be generating non-company owned content when it's related to their product.

Duncan Rhodes literally just leveraged that notoriety¹ into becoming an independent competitor.
I am really not surprised they are doing this at all.
¹ at this point whether the crack-down is a response or a trigger to this is broadly irrelevant and all public info either way is hearsay.

They sell White Dwarf and I'd be a little bit surprised if they didn't consider their Warhammer TV Youtube channel to be a revenue stream.
I'm glad that Duncan gets to branch out now, being independent means he doesn't have to worry about dogfooding anymore (in his first video he has already started using some non-GW brushes and mentioned a non-GW spraycan) and I think it's cool that his cameraman partnered with him. I've definitely gotten more than $5/month worth of value from his previous videos at GW, so I have no problems with kicking in $5 a month once the new site is fully live.
It does, actually, yes. The court found that if GW doesn't make a figurine to match the art, someone else can, and GW can't do anything about it. So now all art matches the figurines matches the art.
Edit: On the flip side, this means when 3D Printing breaks the barrier in a year or two, that means GW can't complain if you make your own original GW compatible model range for 3D Printers.
Well, you know they will, but in theory they can't.
Duncan sent out his first newsletter. This segment is interesting:
He's definitely not going to be winning any friends at GW with his new site, that's for sure.
If GW didn't have a non-compete clause in its employment contract it sure as hell does now. These are super common in any industry that involves making or designing stuff. GW is not in the wrong on this.

See, the thing is, GW is in this odd in between space, where they want a better social media presence, which means they want some of these people to be personalities, like Duncan and Darren, but making them "hobby celebs" or "brand ambassadors" by accident or intentionally, would presumably entail them getting paid a bit more, a bit more support, etc. Which they aren't doing.
Wait, is the 'Eavy Metal color scheme a trade secret or something? They literally put it in the pamphlets that come with Space Marines.
