Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Genestealer Cults Achilles Ridgerunner

Product Information

Basecoat with thin layers of this colour, taking care not to build up so much paint that the details are obscured. Slow and steady wins the race! Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns with any of the results you have seen here! And of course, I welcome all suggestions for future simulations! Paint the weaponry using Stormhost Silver for the barrels and Khorne Red for other weapon components, offering distinct functionalities. To get river/lake looking shiny I just kinda pour some gloss varnish from the bottle on, you will want a paper clip or something to poke any bubbles. The penultimate step is painting the rims with your choice of paint, in this case I used dryad to match my Tyranids. The last model thing the models need is to throw on some tufts, I like using these ones from Gamers Grass: For the human skin highlight the colours are basically just moving left to right from darkest to lightest of this trio of paints. The darker skin is a couple of thin coats of Knight-Questor, then for the last highlight mixing in a touch of Cadian. The medium skin tone started with Cadian followed by mixing in a bit of Kislev for the final highlight of the medium tone. Then I reused that Cadian/Kislev mix for the initial highlight of the lightest tone that was then finished off with kislev. The hybrid skin is a couple of thin coats of Ushabti over the base coat, you can push it a touch further with screaming skull if you want.

To manifest the psychic power, you must first pass a Psychic test. The opposing player can then select one of their PSYKER units that is within 24" of the PSYKER unit attempting to manifest the power and attempt to deny that power before its effects are resolved by passing a Deny the Witch test. With the latest set of codices now on the shelves, it’s time to start breaking down what units and options are going to be right for your list! If you set up this unit in ambush, place an ambush marker anywhere on the battlefield that is wholly within your deployment zone.The simulation assumes everything occurs in a single turn so that I didn’t have to deal with the crew recovering in the End phase. Genestealer Cults Patriarch. In his hand he has a Blood Angels helmet and on his base is a Crimson Fist, neatly covering my two Marine armies. Credit: Corrode

The Achilles Ridgerunner is a common sight throughout the Imperium. Although not specifically designed for military use, like so many of the utilitarian machines favoured by the Genestealer Cults, it has proven remarkably effective as an outrider and scout vehicle. The first round of base coats are for the skin, and this is pretty much what you can see. I used Carroburg on the more evidently Tyranid hybrids and then various flesh contrasts for the more human range skin tones.

Opening Times

Cult of the Warmason by CL Werner is primarily about the Sisters of Battle going up against a Genestealer Cults infestation on the shrine world of Lubentina. Several of the upgrades directly modify stats. Extra Armour adds 1 to the Toughness characteristic of every side for 25 credits. Nitro burner increases the Movement characteristic by 1″ for 15 credits. Reinforced Armour increases the starting HP by 1 for 20 credits. Finally wheeled vehicles can take Tyre Claws and/or All-Wheel Steering to add 1 to the Handling characteristic for 10 credits each. Oddly there’s no way to improve the Save characteristic. For the flesh of the arms on more mutated hybrids, where the purple fades into blue, wet blend the Genstealer Flesh Mix with Night Lords Blue. Alternatively, glaze Night Lords Blue down the arm, increasing in intensity towards the hands. Thinned down glazes of Scalecolour FX Fluor Orange following these lines, pulling the paint towards the lantern, so the colour is strongest closer to the bulb itself. Feather the colour with a bit of water at the farthest extremes to create a soft gradient between the orange and non-orange colour, the gel medium of the Scalecolour paints really helps when it comes to blending it out like this. Having finished construction I decided that I would leave the missile launcher off as it would be challenging to pain in situ.

For additional weathering on vehicles, apply a coat of matt varnish all over the model, then once dry, thin down Raw Umber oil paint with mineral spirit, wash into the recesses, then very carefully wipe away any excess with a cotton bud dipped in mineral spirit. You have to be extremely careful with this part, if you rub too excessively, you run the risk of wearing away the paint underneath. Mutant Innards (Tongues, Tentacles, Exposed Muscle, Blood Vials): – Base with Daemonette Flesh. – Wash with Guilliman Blue (if available) or 50/50 Tallasar Blue/Contrast Medium – Carefully Highlight with Warpfiend Grey. – Edge Highlight with Slaanesh Grey. What might be confusing here is the uniform, where I start with Nuln to darken and desaturate it a bit before Druchii gets colour right. Highlights – Making the gribblies pop Purple: Naggaroth Night and then Xereus Purple (I love, love Xereus Purple), washed Druchii Violet, and then re-layered Xereus on the higher parts and highlighted with, fittingly, Genestealer Purple.

This week’s Hammer of Math takes a look at the custom vehicle rules from Book of the Outlands and examines the value of the generic options. Green Chitin and Cloth: – Wash with Terradon Turquoise. – Layer with Lupercal Green, leaving the deepest recesses. – Highlight with Kabalite Green, focusing on the raised areas of the cloth/carapace. – Edge Highlight with Sybarite Green – Edge Highlight any bladed/horned parts of the carapace with Dawnstone. (Larger areas of Chitin on Metamorphs/Purestrains, Patriarch can be carefully Drybrushed instead for a more naturalistic, less clean look). AMLs appear to perform better than the HML against elite infantry at first glance. The consistency and similar ability to wound as the HML, means the AML performs better at each stage of different buffs. This is especially clear, when you consider the Crossfire buff comparison, where the HML has a dominating chance to do nothing whereby the AML has the best chance to kill one model. The consistency of damage will help prevent non-optimal damage from being applied, allowing the AHM to more consistently kill at least one model. However, due to the inability of the AHM to put out anymore than just 2 damage per shot, it is virtually incapable of killing a unit of three Blightlord Terminators in one turn. For reference below is the probability of killing a three man squad of blightlord terminators in one turn. Chance to Kill 3 Blightlord Terminators in One Turn Standard armaments also include Heavy Stubbers for repelling hostile fauna, opportunistic scavengers and xenos threats -- ever-present hazards when exploring Frontier Worlds. The Ridgerunner and Goliath were weathered via hairspray chipping, enamel panel liner & streaking grime, and a rough edge highlight of silver.
