32mm I believe are still 1 point. It's the same model but on a bigger base no?

I'd say the Termie on 25mm would fall under 2 points still. Unless the size is really that different (I have not had the pleasure to gaze upon an old termie).

I got the weapons on the terminator bases, so just assumed. You know maybe they are on a 32mm base. I don't even remember what they are based on LOL. I'll check in a bit.

Well, mine are the same size, so either yours are less points or mine are more. Early on they had tripods and no bases. Next they had the anti-grav platforms and no bases. Then they came with 25mm bases. The new ones that have a model sitting on them are on the termie bases. The ones that come with the guardians are on 25mm..Unless they get changed to larger.


That brings up a question. I have old, metal,CSM termies on 25mm bases. How many points are they, if I ever get around to painting them?
Also, how many points for the new necrons on the new bigger bases?

I did put them at 1 point each. For the older termies, they would be worth 1 point. MM did paint 1 up this year

Which necrons got a bigger bases? Did they just change to 32mm? If they are "regular size" they'll remain at 1 point each.

So wait a minute. If I take my old CSM, that came with 25mm bases, and put them on 40mm they go up to 3 points? Even though the models are the same size?

No, they would remain 1 point each, like Yoda said "size maters not"

Well I am catching up with pictures of the models I have missed (before starting on an Eldar spree). I have some more models ready for pics but they are dark (My Black Templars) and so my temporary "lightbox" using my paint booth doesn't capture them very well - when the lightbox gets here I'll post them up.

The Nurgle dudes were a test scheme for the Nurgle army I bought using the airbrush. However I have decided to sell all my Nurgle to get more Slaanesh so only those two will ever be painted. The Giant rats are the easiest thing in the world to paint. I haven't decided if I want black or gray base trim. I am doing a sewer theme with them (my fluff is that they are in the sewers of a man-thing's city and are invading from beneath). I might even do a sewer green look. No clue. I bought custom bases but I did not want to rebase them as putting a single rat on a base that cost 10 times the rat was a little silly. I'll just keep the sewer bases for the actual big rats.

The Catapult was done all by paint brush, no airbrush involved. Same with the Warlord on Rat Ogre - who isn't done, but I wanted to show you some of my paintbrush work since it has mostly been all airbrush so far. Catapult was done around Christmas though so no points for that. Warlord will eventually get finished. I paint Skaven in my "spare" spare time. My group doesn't play Fantasy a lot so they do not get the best treatment LOL.

So points are:

Beast of Nurgle: 2 points
Plaguebearer: 1 point
Giant Rats x32: 32 points? They are so tiny that it feels almost like cheating to be worth a point each.

Total of 35 points?

kturok- well, shucks

Also, no internet points but I was inspired to look it up, and I'd never seen him in that role- good stuff!

3eland, hmm, thanks-- think I might take you up on that...

[kturock]

Eldar Dread..





3 points I beleive. Not as big as manticores, but about the same as heavy warjacks. Hmm where are marine dreads on the list?

1 old Eldar Jetbike.. I'm using him as a Autarch. Glue on the base isn't drying, thus why the paint is there holding back.

3 points.



6 points total.

[bigboss1o1]

Warden large base
Wrecker large base
Exulon medium base
Total-12 pts

@3e, I was going to say what SC did about your cockpit windows.
Even if not posting it for points, I'd love to see how they look with the change.
I was going to suggest a simple blue scheme.

I'll pop up some pics later tomorrow night (well I guess later tonight now, since tomorrow is now today). I am redoing my entire hobby room so things are currently not where they should be lol.

Avatar of Khaine. I got him used. Had to strip and rebuild him. He came without the antlers on the helmet. Also no decal/waterslide transfers. I have some spares, but white or yellow doesn't stand out on the white tabard/loincloth.







Last pic with flash... sun went behind a cloud.


Not sure on him.. 2 points? Since the hellpit abom, rat ogre is 2.

[kturock]

and finally these are done. 1 has been stripped 3 times. 1 was stripped 2 times and one only once.

They went from this:






The paint either bubbled the primer or chipped/scratched off. No primer I used would hold it.

So I was saw this:



and decided to try that instead.


With flash:


and without.








3 points each I guess. So 9 points?
