    The loop hole is as long as you are crusading you can keep recruiting to make up for loses due to a constancy of combat operations. You can send a company on crusade say, to take the sabbat worlds. While they are gone you can recruit neophytes and promote marines. Figured this out working on the Chapter Master game back in the day on the elegan/tg/entlemen board.

    "Llan du gor" in Welsh roughly means "Church of the Black Heart" I feel like that's definitely intentional. "Gor" can also mean "dwarf/stunted" So I feel like the author is taking some poetic license and might be attempting to mean something approximating "Lord of the Shriveled Heart"

    I Just recently picked up newsh and did a similar verdigris effect. one thing i've learned is to add water for finer details that you want to shade. Also, use a wet makeup sponge to get smoother wipes/cleanup vs dry sponges for rougher weathering effects.

    I have been playing the solo expansion for Relicblade, Catacombs of Kural. It's tough as heck, but quite a lot of fun. Also, not sure if this really counts, but I have been playing a lot of Hero Quest with the app playing the Evil Wizard. It's pretty basic, but very nostalgic and very easy to get a game together.

    Thanks for popping these videos up. I have a few of the Unit 9 models on the way now. One other that I have liked the look of is Lord of the Print, now known as Rescale Miniatures. They have some glorious dragons and other large fantasy beasts, but I really enjoyed picking up and painting some of the mice from their Archduke of Mousin release. They made a lovely change to the usual sort of fantasy of sci fi models that we are used to.

  • @TapCat

    I just recently starting using Newsh and also found it to be very effective. It's major limitation compared to tradition washes is that some sculpts just won't be practical to use with it. For example, I have a demon miniature with a LOT of spikes and there is no way for me to effectively wipe off the Newsh after applying it. And some models have very closed off poses making it difficult to wipe down... just a word to the wise. It's not perfect for every sculpt but it's an excellent product nonetheless.

    I Love opr! As a casual gamer, I always Had a hard time remembering all the rules and stratagems from Warhammer 40k. I also like to kitbash and convert and I feel Like I am more free to do so here. So its also cheaper, as I can use cheaper kits from other companies. The alternating activation system also makes for very exciting moments on the Board!

    The BEST way to apply this is by thin layers! Let dry and adjust depth (color affect) as you see fit. The color is dependent on the thickness or layers applied! I recently started using that technique, and it is super.
