Yeah, did not even consider having to tell someone to use sealant. The thought did not occur to me that someone wouldn't seal a plastic model. The concept, to me, is just so... out there!

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

I plan to run a second army along side my nids, and narrowed it down to Orks or Sisters, which do you think? Are orks going to be similar to nids?
Also, screaming "DEATH TO THE HERETIC!" and "PURGE THE UNCLEAN!" is a major plus for the sisters, though it will sound increadibly awkward for me to voice them being male.
Then again, the orks have "DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!" that I could scream at my enemy.


wait 3 months.

Rick Priestley said it best:
Bryan always said that if the studio ever had to mix with the manufacturing and sales part of the business it would destroy the studio. And I have to say – he wasn’t wrong there! The modern studio isn’t a studio in the same way; it isn’t a collection of artists and creatives sharing ideas and driving each other on. It’s become the promotions department of a toy company – things move on!

Do you mind your army being expensive, heavy as hell, bad in high points games, and having about half a dozen viable units? If not, then play Sisters.

Do you mind having the oldest available codex, needing to paint hundreds of models, being unsure what the rules are going to be for them, and playing an assault army in a shooty edition? If not, then play Orks.


Ok, I actually laughed out loud at this

I play both armies, so I've clearly got some issues...


Me too.

You wouldn't happen to be a fellow masochist would you?


I started Orks in early 5th mainly because of thrift, (Cheap as hell thanks to AoBR,) and Sisters of Battle because I won too much at my LGS.


Funny thing is these days I play mostly Sisters and bring out my Orks when I start to win too much.

Very true... but sticking a small coin/weight to the base easily stops this happening

I tried to glue on some weights designed for fishing under the base, but it did not work at all. Wasted money, as I do not fish at all.

Ah, If only you had easy access to 2 pence coins.... those things are perfect for sticking to the bottom of bases! You have to shave the base a little to avoid changing the height of the model, but with a little roughing up of the surfaces you can get a really solid fit.

I am not even sure what a pence is . I know €uros. I will try to use those coins, but I think the cents one are not heavy enough to change anything, and the 1€ or 2€ ones are too big… and a bit expensive for big seraphim squads .

Sorry to sound ignorant, but what does that mean? I've been painting for 10 years, and I haven't heard of that

Sounds useful though.

Matte finish over the top of models (or gloss finish) seals the paint and stops it from being worn by the oils in your fingers, falling over, etc...

Also, I find that while acrylic is fine when it comes to plastic models, for metal and resin you really want to be undercoating in enamel. It sticks so much better.
