Phantom Battery... Huh.

I was in a dead panic and I only noticed this after the Phatom Battery was dead.
That shot did not come from me. The phantom battery killed 3 of it's own spotters with a singular shot.

Your fave armies to ally with?

Greetings all dutiful worshippers of Hashut. A random question popped into my mind. In games where you're playing alongside another army as an ally (2v2 or more, yada yada), do you have a favourite army to be allowed with your Helsmiths?

Perhaps in theory for thematic reasons? Maybe out of personal experience of 2v2 games you have played? Which, if that's the case, would love to hear if any of you have made custom lore to explain why your army and your friends army are working together? Or which army you think would match your Zharrdron army the best with how you play and what's its strengths are?

Just curious. Have a good day.

This lucky...

I was so confused for a sec. That's a corpse? But no there's someone hiding beneath the corpse! Who somehow isn't a corpse themself!

I... What?

I think these are some of the worst scouts I've yet to have.

The assembly area? Either it's right next to Spotter 3 and Spotter 1 is just dead wrong about it being South West or they're all correct and it's somehow off the map?

And why did two of the scouts tell me the field command is west??? It's 10.54KM away from Spotter 2, the only direction it could be that still fits on the map is west! West gives me zero info!?

By Castile, what?

Think these rails, scale wise, work for scenery?

My plan for my glorious Zharrdron, in terms of the base scenery, is to make them look like they're located underground. One plan to achieve this will be to give the occassional mini a mine rail or similar here and there.

But I'm unsure if the scale fits? Are the rails too large? Or do they fit just right, as these would be for transporting massive amounts of ore and other such materials? I honestly can't tell. Should I try and find smaller rails or just stick with these?

My Hobgrot Vandalz, Demoted to 'Test Minis'

Assembled these lot in February, finally got them 'done' now. Unfortunately near the end, the paint started ripping in spots here and there and my paint REALLY did not want to work with me (causing further issues), so unfortunately I'm going to consider these minis a half success and will instead replace them in the future.

Were other steps I planned to do with them but, considering how long they've taken me, I'd rather now.

Big positive though, I am really happy with how the yellow turned out. The camera might not be showcasing it well but, in person, the yellow looks absolutely gorgeous.

WD 526: Helsmith and alcohol

ASK GROMBRINDAL

Dear Grombrindal, I seek your wisdom. While painting the fantastic new Helsmiths of Hashut, I noticed that many of the models carry bottles on their belts. This made me wonder, are the Helsmiths just as passionate about beer drinking as other duardin? If not, what do they drink instead?

Julian Weiß

The impertinence, umgi! The dishonourable cheek; likening stout, honest duardin folk to those oath-breaking, hearth-scorning, hold-hacking, daemon-mongering, beard-curling

— [150 lines deleted]

But if you must know… while individual Helsmiths might have an appreciation for beer and brewery, culturally they associate these passions with their karak-dwelling kin and look down on such arts. Much of the Helsmith diet – at least for members of the noble houses, who aren’t forced to endure the gruel fermented within the lower tiers of their ziggurat – is seized in raids or extracted from conquered folk, and so they have the chance to sample beers, wines, ales, meads and the like from all across the lands, no doubt sneering all the while. As for those bottles, they could be such plundered goods – or be filled with all sorts of daemonic libations. The unhealthy green glow they give off certainly suggests the latter. Now, let’s speak of more noble things, before I get in a grudging mood…

Darktide has done something dangerous. Given me Hope.

Does it mean anything? Probably not.
Is it at all likely? No.
Will that change anything for me? Nope, I have too great of a hope and copium addiction.

I want it. Regardless if it's years from now (which, to be fair, I want more other things for Darktide before more classes. But one day! After that other stuff, I know what I'll be hoping for!)

I've discovered I'm incapable of making 'good lists' (or any at all)

Cause for some reason instead of sitting down to figure out how to actually make a list (I've made lists for other warhammer games before, just not 40k), I made some sort of 'vibe metric' for the units.

Though if I commit to painting a Tzeentch army, that'll have a few extra details. Particularly some pink flame tattoos.
