How do Dok play? I dont want to fall into anouther Drukhari trap

After a few years my freinds wore me down to get me to play warhammer 40k. I started with drukhari because I like the evil goth bdsm viking vibe they had and they were advertised as highly mobile glass cannons. Imagine my suprise when I start playing them and discover they are all glass no cannon. I still like the vibe but im missed the edition where they get buffed from every kill and our opponents were woried any time we started to build up steam.

They've tricked me into trying AoS and I was already using some Dok models to proxie for those butt ugly Wytches so you guys were the 1st faction im looking at. From what I can see you guys have a very aggressive playstyle that are highly mobile and rewards kills and being killed with stacking buffs that will snowball if you start winning. You even have a big giant monster with tits and is said to be one of the best stats sheets in the game.

My question is if these snake ladies have the skills to get the kills to pay the bills. I dont mind dying easily, its part of the fun but I am already getting tabled in my syfi game because none of my evil space elves pack any punch. I want my opponent to be scared of me.

Who wears it better?

The 1st Chronos was the 1st model i seriusly painted after some test models. I have always been pretty proud of him. It was my 1st time using the new chrome metalic edging and some generous blood technical soaking.

It has been maby half a years since then and I came back around to try out some new tricks on my Talos before coming back to next Chronos to see how far I have come. I think I did a better job on the 1st Chronos's shell since I was actually trying to make it look rough while I wanted the others to look cleaner and they still came out looking rougher than i would have liked. I toned down the science glow, added some brown gold parts, and used a lighter blue skin tone.

Who do you think looks best?

Trying to save my Talos.

I started painting my 1st talos a while back. I learned a new metallics painting technique with silver ontop of black. It looked awsome on my grotesque so I wanted to test out how the same principle would work with a purple base but I didn't like the results on the shell. I also screwed up on the pale blue skin with to much shading. Then I got sick and had to take a break but i planned to come back and try to fix it. Then my kid got sick, then my wife then it circled back around to me. Families share everything. Its been almost a month and I finally got a chance to come back.

​

I used the black base for the metalic arms and tail then added the green highlights. Then I covered the messy silver rack with a brown+ gold and then added a bit more gold to the base. After that was done and enough time has passed I dont mind the purple shell and I believe he is turning out OK.

​

Next step try to fix the skin with some light blue and white layers.

Need help finding Daughters of Kane proxies

Ive been printing all of my 40k models. Its easy, the drukhari models look constipated and stls look better and I dont have to sell my soul. My problem is that my freinds are getting me into Age of Sigmar and I have discovered 2 things. One the model designers of Aos are given the good drugs and two my soul is not worth as much as these little plastic statues. Im trying to build up my army of murder loving half naked snake ladies. I got the half naked ladies but I cant find any snake ladies. Big boss snake lady looks so God damn beautiful that nothing I can find compares.

​

Im looking for some spiky snake people weilding bows and spears and a giant witch with a monster lower body. Im considering swapping the snake people for spiders.

Help with Rangers. Need proxies!

Im my Drukhari army with 98% proxies because Gw refuses to keep my army in stawk because they dont want my money. Honestly they dont deserve it for that ridiculous nonsense that was the maelstrom box. So proxies across the board. Im also decided to save $$$ and space by building the army in a way that it can stand in for my eldar army aswell after a simple base adjustment. My mantis looking Wracks are Warp spiders, my Incubi and Wytches are Striking Scorpions & Banshee and I have 5 different Kabalites for the guys with guns. My only problem is I am having trouble finding anything that fits the Ranger vibe.

Dues anyone know of any Stls that look like Rangers? Plz and thank you.

Fire Dragons good or bad?

Ive been gearing up to build my Aeldari list and Fire Dragons were one of the units I was most excited about. Im coming from drukhari so a 10 man unit of 12 inch melta with anti- Riptide & Bane Blade and a leader with the biggest D energy ever has me drooling but im getting mixed messages. Some say they hit like a truck but other tier list them low. Something about them being overpriced because of some Op ability they use to have.

Can I get an accurate description plz?

Edit: so I have been getting the same mixed messages from this post. Very good but overpriced and swingy. I thought it might get a better answer if I gave a more specific question. My freind uses Riptide and BaneBlades in all his lists. Would 10 fire dragons let me throw them off the table or would 5 be enough? I know they will die but I want them to get the job done. How much would the Warp Spiders setting them up help?

Question: why cant we make our own C'tan shards?

The ancient elf empire created Slanesh with all their extreme debauchery. The drukhari where the ones that wanted stuff MORE extreme stuff. Why aren't they cranking out more little chaos hods of fun good stuff? The necrons have their pet gods shards, the eldari have Kain, the emporium has Celestine. Why cant we have a little mini slanesh?

Gw's animation making planes look good. Aircraft playable?

The new warhammer animation showed the mon-keigh flying bricks getting owned by eldar planes. Those animations aren't cheap, they are an advertisement investment. They are paying alot of money to make planes look cool. Any hope for changes to aircraft to make them more viable.

Poor inocent Drukhari player paralyzed by your massive faction list.

I started this game playing drukhari. I vibe with the faction but everyone knows how much Gw hates us so i always planed to pick up eldar as my 2nd army. I wanted to build a 98% proxie drukhari army so it could function as both drukhari and eldari army and save some $$$. I have something for almost my entire drukhari range with 2 difrent Wytches and 5 difrent kabslites. All of that barely covers half of your infantry list omfg.

I got something for the the big units like the melee Striking Scorpions & Banshee, the mid range Fire Dragons, and long range dark Reapers. I also have some cool but basic looking soldiers that could proxie for anything from guardians to Corsairs but there are so much more.

Help me out by pointing out your favorite unit i haven't considered and tell me why they are awsome.

Witness the fate of the survivors. And maby gime a little bit of help with the base

I am so proud of this one. Ive been itching to paint up my poor Tao exchange students but life kept getting in the way. Now I finally was able to get it done and so much went great and so much refused to cooperate but look at her now. Isn't she beautiful.

I saw a guide on painting beautiful metal with a black base with silver meat and white highlights and it turned out perfect. Then I tried to paint the pale sickly light blue Tao skin and it refused to look good. I was compelled to deepen the shading until everything was darker. Then i tried to paint the shoulder plate and helmet in a brighter white metsl but it looks so flat and trashy. I tried to fix it with a dark purple but i dont think i recovered it well enough. We'll jokes on them because now they are buried under the technical of the dark gore from the blade or green highlights from the drug canister and liquifier gun. Splitting the model between those two was the 1st idea I had with this model and I love how it turned out. My only gripe with it is how I had to cover all that pretty metal I made.

Now onto the help. I love the way the model turned out so much I want to try fixing up the basic base into a scene. I would like for a pool of glowing green liquifier acid to build up on the left side under the gun. The edge of the pool would melt and burn the ground and a bloody dead body hanging out of the pool. How would I give the base a watery texture? What other materials could be used?

Lastly what name should I give to this pretty girl?

Say hello to my big ugly grotesque proxie. Ain't he pretty. Im about ready to start painting him and im looking for advice before I get started.

The main army color is dark purple but my humunculus coven units are getting a brighter paler sanitized palette with some contrasting gore. This guy will have pale blue Tao skin with metallic armor with an accent color. The lower left side will have some splashes of gore leaning upward as if it was always looming over whatever small creature it was crushing. The right side will have some scorch marks and green highlights from the glowing Liquifier Gun.

Im having some trouble working out the color palette for the armor. Id like to incorporate some purple to match the rest of the army but keep the lighter pale theme. I use mostly silver and gold metallics for my armory but that seems to awstontatious for this guy. Im thinking more worn and damaged but Ive never done that yet. I've worked with silver and black base that looked good and but it was to dark for what I have planned here. Some advice on making weathered metallics with some scratches and burns would be appreciated please and thank you.

Just finished my 3rd scourge (its a proxie be nice) and 1st finished model since Christmas. Tried out a few painting techniques with brown base under the gold and glowing power weapons.

How dues he look?

u/LordTyler123 — 2 months ago

I tried painting my next Scourge with a brown base under a layer of gold. I think they look good with deeper shadows but I might have gone overboard a bit. Next time I will be a little more reserved with smaller layers to just highlight the edges of the feathers.

How do they look? Any tips for painting gold?
