Panzer Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Nah, they said right at the beginning that in Matched play your army has to be Battleforged. That usually means using any form of FOC. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Folks, what size magnets are you using for back packs please? Think the 2 x 1 mm that I'm using is too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Folks, what size magnets are you using for back packs please? Think the 2 x 1 mm that I'm using is too small. None so far... :D Maybe I should tho once I get around building Assault Marines and Deathcompany. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 3x2 fits perfectly into the backpack hole. Ten you just have to cut off the rear torso nubbin and drill the hole dead centre. Lucumon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the 2 x 1 mm that I'm using is too small. 3x1 works best, it just drops in to the hole in the jump-pack http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54530/f6f604545290142.jpg ++ It also helps if you get the hole lined up properly on the model too ;) Edited April 26, 2017 by Brother Jazzman Lucumon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venerable Jazzman Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I did the Tycho twins the other day - still had a couple of bits to finish off when these were taken, but they're done now. Might do something about the vampire teeth too, not a fan http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54514/cefa2f545133145.jpg http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54514/1c0c9f545133155.jpg http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54514/3c7ef0545133150.jpg http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54514/c2f67d545133140.jpg marine7312000, WarriorFish, Tyriks and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrbOfAntioch Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hey guys, quick question... Some noob has completely clogged his airbrush. He didn't use air paints. He didn't thin his paints properly. The airbrushed is super clogged. He has completely disassembled said airbrush, now, what is the best way to clean everything out? His Knight is almost done though.. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/922/SKejAD.jpg BloodTzar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Rubbing alcohol and/or an ultrasonic jewellery cleaner can do wonders. Lucumon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I always use bio ethanol and an old toothbrush to strip paint. It goes really easy and it doesn't damage plastic at all. Haven't tried it with resin tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of good airbrush cleaners out there... Vallejo, Medea and Paasche are good ones. I'd suggest finding a youtube video because it is VERY easy to ruin a nozzle and/or needle during cleanup. I mostly use my beater cheap Masters airbrush now because my amazing Harder & Steenbeck has the most delicate nozzles (I buy them regularly ugh).

Jolemai Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Right then. Who's going to take one for the team and convert a Librarian Contemptor from this: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Thousand-Sons-Legion-Osiron-Pattern-Contemptor-Dreadnought-2017?_requestid=4625695 For the fist, you'll need the separate power fist arm but that only comes with a storm bolter and heavy flamer option. The chain fist has the melta gun... marine7312000 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I would if it weren't Forgeworld...and if it weren't a Contemptor one. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venerable Jazzman Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Right then. Who's going to take one for the team and convert a Librarian Contemptor from this: i could think of a lot easier places to start a libby Contemptor from, tbh. I'm not seeing that at all. Would be a lot easier building up from the Calth dread, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Perhaps, but you'd need to get a suitable force halberd. The Osiron pattern already comes with one and a psychic hood (don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it would be easy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venerable Jazzman Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Gotcha, hadn't realised that was a force halberd, just thought it was a fancy ccw. I suppose you could turn the scarabs into blood-drops, fills the heiroglyphics with GS and razorsaw the Illuminati symbol from the top... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 I love my Calth Contemptor, but there are things to take into account about it. It's plain, monopose, and would still require work to get it up to scratch. I suppose it's a cheaper starting point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'm not entirely sure what your point is? People on here have been wanting to convert one for ages. I guess you either don't like Contemptors or you don't like FW (or both)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you either don't like Contemptors or you don't like FW (or both)? Just joking. I simply don't like the Contemptor pattern so that's an argument for me against getting one. :D And yes I don't like FW stuff in general because I think the same models would be a lot better in plastic.

It's plain, monopose, and would still require work to get it up to scratch. I suppose it's a cheaper starting point though. I magnetized mine, it was quite easy - razorsawed the "pelvis" away from the upper body, and separated the legs. Added some plastic tube to the hip joints to move them out a bit and put a bit angle in the legs. The BA symbol and banner cover up some of the detail that was lost in the sawing. For the arms, the left arm is mounted centrally, as there's not a lot of weight in the fist and it doesn't drop down, but for the right arm I offset the magnet to the rear upper of the shoulder socket to avoid the weapon pointing at the ground all the time. http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54561/5fa826545601101.jpg http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54561/67600b545601113.jpg http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54561/c1a617545601124.jpg http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54561/eb138e545601139.jpg http://thumbnails101.imagebam.com/54561/041c79545601161.jpg BloodTzar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
