So I just ordered the Ritual of the Doomned (Grey Knights), a wash and a mouldline remover! Now I've got to build an army worthy of such power. Here's what I want:
+ Heavy Support + Land Raider Crusader [16 PL, 286pts]: 2x Hurricane Bolter, Multi-melta, Twin Assault Cannon
++ Total: [145 PL, 2,000pts] ++
Thoughts?
Are you missing a Strike Squad in your battalion? My brother also wants to play Grey Knights and we have no idea how to build them.
It's a Stronghold Assault Attacker detachment, not a Battalion. But the purifiers can become a white-headed 10-man strike squad in a pinch.
I don't think that's a detachment you're allowed to use in most games. Careful of Battlescribe, it throws in things that you aren't generally able to take sometimes.
This reminds me that I still need to finish painting my grey knights kill team.
Paladins or purifiers?
I have no clue. They are whatever the most basic grey knight squad is in space marine armor.
I decided I don't like their paint job and I've begun stripping the paint. Also popped the arms and backpacks off. I used the backpacks with the antenna and luckily only one broke so I can either try to glue it back on or replace it since I didn't make all the models in the box.
I'm having some serious issues as far as painting goes now. Stripping my colorshift Tau KT, stripping these grey knights, and I no longer feel good about my Skaven paint scheme. I haven't even started it yet.
Only paint scheme I feel good about is the Maliwan scheme for my 40K Tau army but I have no idea how I'm going to execute it and I also need to practice cell shading.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
The only stuff I found where they may be from is the Build and paint sets
But these are from when I quit 40k since I do not remember seeing anything like that
I believe these are the same as the ones found in the Assault on Black Reach starter. (The SM vs Orks one).
The Black Reach termies each had little shields on one of their pauldrons, and the sergeant had a skirt/loincloth over the armor. I don't think they had a waist joint, either.
The Build+Paint line was a mix of earlier models and AoBR sprues. The Battle for Vedros line (GW's earlier attempt to get 40k models into toy stores) was mostly comprised of reboxed AoBR spues though.

black reach sergeant didn't have a helmet for one thing.
One squad of spiky gitz and a Rhino done... I think. I'm too lazy to edge highlight the guns so I may go back and pick out some trim in gold or something. Definitely going to do them differently for the next couple squads.
Oof I just noticed I missed those hooks on the side of the Rhino -_-

Story from the White Dwarf is.....give me Szarekh model please k thx.
Anyways, Battle report time. I and a buddy played a game of 40k. We decided *after* we made our lists that it'd also be a good idea to try ITC rules out for the first time. Why? I dunno. This ended up hurting him a bit more than me because his list was gimmicky as you'll see, but as it was a friendly game, it was still fun overall.
Imperial Guard vs. Death Guard.
I was running a mechanized Death Guard Brigade with Myphetic Blight Haulers, a few Plague Burst Crawlers, a Land Raider (because they're cool!), plague marines, cultists, and a Helbrute. A few Foul Blightspawn piled into the Land Raider to help out and two Daemon Princes also joined in. It was the most CP I had ever had with DG. Yay point drops!
The opposing Astra Militarum was gimmicky and this was why. Ever seen a Void Shield Generator? No? Neither had I. He decided sit three Baneblade chassis inside it (two normal ones and a Stormlord). Like I said, this was pre-decision to run ITC, but whatever, we were doing it primarily to learn! Just in case you didn't know what the fortification does, it's a 5+ invuln against shooting for everything within 12 inches.
Cool, cool.
Death Guard went first and surged forward. DG had Titan Slayers (obviously), Reaper, and Engineers. The cultists hung back to guard two of the objectives with a Plague Marine squad about to (he had an Eversor waiting to drop in). In retrospect, I didn't need to use the PMs on guard duty, but still.
The Death Guard opened up with everything at the Stormlord since it could carry 40 passengers and it was the Baneblade everyone could see. Through a combination of saves, rolling poorly and....well, mostly rolling poorly as the Astra Militarum player also rolled poorly (his 5+ saves were far rarer than they should've been), the Stormlord only fell to 13 wounds. Not good. Even worse, a Techpriest healed the Stormlord back to 15....putting it back into it's main damage track. Damnit.
The Astra Militarum responded, flooding forward with guardsmen to try and keep the forces of Nurgle back. They also responded violently, trying to take down their tormentors. The bad offensive luck rolls / good defensive rolls blessed the Death Guard, however, and the Helbrute survived round 1 with two wounds left and the Land Raider survived with 5. Astra Militarum player was, justifiably, pissed. He had Kingslayer, Big Game Hunter, and Engineers, but had started out slow. At least the DG player was getting points just based on wounding the big Bane Blades.
The maneuverability of the Death Guard mechanized forces hurt the Imperials here as the CUTEST LITTLE DAEMON ENGINES EVER drove around the attempted screen by the Guardsmen, even getting into melta range for one. Astropaths actually managed to get a Nightshroud off, but he Stormlord died, absorbing a massive amount of fire....but it still died. This would be the most successful the Astropaths were as subsequent attempts failed or were denied.
Meanwhile, objectives in the center of the map were being taken by the Plague Marines and the defending screen were being eviscerated.
The Baneblades closed ranks and opened fire.
The Land Raider and Helbrute died, as did one of the Blight Haulers, but at this point the Foul Blightspawns and the rest of the Death Guard were getting closer. The slugging match continued, but the poor defensive rolls of the Astra Militarum did not punish the mediocre rolls of the Death Guard while, defensively, the Death Guard were Death Guard and soaked a disgusting amount of shots.
Another Baneblade detonated after a combined Nurgle's Rot stratagem and withering fire and the game was called. We estimated what the end rounds would bring, point wise, and it would've ended around 30 points for the Death Guard and 14 for the Astra Militarum.
Again, it was a gimmick list from the Guard, but still a fun game overall!

MDF also works, and is a lot more robust. I find foamboard can't handle the rough treatment I tend to subject it to.
Doubling up on this. I've used foamboard in the past, and found it will warp and twist with age. MDF is more resilient, outweighing the fact you need more tools than just a knife to work with it.

1/4" MDF give you a good, solid base for building on.
I just take a few brushfuls of paint onto a pallet close the lid and paint from that. My mother really pushed the ideal of Do Not paint from the pot/tube. saying things like it's not fully mixed as it may of settled or been a bad mix.

I mean, that's really just kind of 'blah blah blah'. I have my pots at the consistency I want them at. Sometimes I need to mess with them more and the paint goes on the wet palette. If not, I use the pot.
Although that looks especially ideal for holding a wash bottle securely.
*edit* Especially now that I see they can handle the tall pots too.

Yes, I use a wet pallet I created out of a pyrex container, a few layers of paper towel, and some awkwardly cut parchment paper. I take a brushfull, or a drop or two from the eyedropper types, then usually a bit of water from the brush. Stir stir stir, spin the brush to a point, and we're good.
Imagining that picture is a gaming table, if I'm standing at the bottom of that table, facing the table, holding a book that has that exact diagram in it then there is no choice, I deploy as depicted.
If I'm standing at the top of the table, facing the table, holding a book that has that exact diagram... there is no choice, I deploy as depicted and the deployment zones are identical to the above situation.
Whats wrong with picking the non-shaded zones?
One player picks what table quarter they want to deploy in (any of the four zones), and their opponent automatically takes the opposite quarter.
Unless you're playing with some kind of specialized terrain, I don't see it having any effect on the game at all wither the zones are kitty-corner left or right from each other.

It would help if any sort of context was provided with the image. Because the mission it was taken from could say exactly that. In which case that's an example of what 'player A chooses their quarter, B taking the diagonally opposite' looks like.
So planning continues on my Knight Castellan. I want to do a base thats stone and rubble debris, maybe with some ruins, and Im hardly above just buying something but does anyone have any recommendations on third party bases?

If you want to use it in a GW store or Tourney the base has to be a real citadel one

I only care about using the same table surface dimensions and not adding too much weight

The context is there's a FAQ that apparently says the mission deployments show what can be chosen and they're the shaded parts, not the unshaded. I know, not a lot of context, but there it is.

I agree, but it apparently came up in the competitive subreddit and someone pointed out a FAQ clarifying.
I know my group always just figured you could take either opposite side because that seemed logical and we'll probably continue it, but yep, they clarified it.

The context I saw it in was with regards to deployment for ITC missions... I assume they use stock terrain setups? Might make it relevant but I've never played at a serious ITC event

If it was a tournament rule FAQ then part of the purpose would be clear ruling to remove possible confusion. And apparently enough people were asking about the non shaded portions that a ruling got handed down on it.

That's a lot more GK than I was expecting you to be able to fit in 2k. CA point drops really helped!
Too much heresy or not enough heresy?

Foamboard aka those science fair board backers or fold out displays. It works for building terrain and mounting it, failing that cardboard.
Doubling up on this. I've used foamboard in the past, and found it will warp and twist with age. MDF is more resilient, outweighing the fact you need more tools than just a knife to work with it.
Organization + 3D Printers is a wonderful thing. Trying not to think about how much that little stack cost, though. ($350ish?)
Also, Dark Reaper is just a slightly blue tinted Eshin Grey. Corvus Black is a wonderfully dark grey, though. (Abaddon Black for contrast)
