Cargo Containers from Reaper Miniatures

I picked up a bottle of Dirty Down Rust effects and tried it out on some cargo containers from Reaper Miniatures and I love it! The weathering is very realistic and easy to use. You just shake well and apply it where you want rust.

It's faster and easier to apply than other oil-based rust or grime products because it's water based.

The rust effect substance is very gel-like right out of the bottle, but it's water soluble and thins very easily. The gel turns more orange in color the more you thin it and it becomes almost yellow when thinned to a wash consistency.

It can also be reactivated a couple of hours later. I thought some areas I applied it had some unnatural edges so I used a wet brush to moisten the gel and feather the effect out.

I'm looking forward to adding more realistic rust to my Orks and other terrain projects.

These cargo containers from Reaper are an excellent replacement or alternative for GW's overpriced boxes. They are the same dimensions and the lids come off for actual storage. They cost about 50-percent less than the James Workshop version.

Salamanders Badab War Veteran

Primaris Marines are great sculpts, but they will never have the soul of the old hand-sculpted models. The Badab War is my favorite battle in the 40k universe and its one of the reasons that the Salamanders are my favorite Space Marine chapter. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #salamanders #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #astartes #armageddon40k

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.

Bad News for Deathwing

The new Balance Data Slate was released today for Warhammer 40k 9th edition and my beloved Dark Angels Deathwing list took a beating. If you don't have the codex, the fourth bullet point was the rule that gave Inner Circle infantry units, like Deathwing Terminators, Transhuman Physiology. Basically, the key feature that most players loved about the list. Rest in peace, Deathwing, we hardly knew ye. Also, what a crappy way to write that rule?! Why not simply include a sentence that says, Inner Circle models do not benefit from transhuman without use of a strategem? I know 10th edition is supposed to be cleaner and easier to understand, but this does not bode well. I'm not really a loyal Dark Angels player (see what I did there?) so I'll just shift back to playing one of my other Marines armies or orks. I've been day dreaming about a Thunder Warriors army again and dug out some bits to work on conversions. I'm loving the idea of a Age of Stryfe White Scars/Star Hunt...
