Stormcast Eternal Paint Planner

A few weeks ago, the fine people at Games Workshop released a paint planner for Primaris Space Marines. It was good if you wanted to print it off and colour it in by hand, but had way too many artefacts and blots for it to work in MS Paint, otherwise known as Baby's First Photoshop.

On my post, commenter Mal Edge asked this question:

any chance you know of a Stormcast painter aswell ?
seems like a missed opportunity by GWs in my eyes...

You know what? He was right.

So I made this:

Save the picture and go to town!
I realise that at this point I'm flirting heavily with copyright law, and just want to be clear I'm not making a penny from selling this planner. If anyone at GW wants me to remove it, just say the word (i.e. an email), and it's gone. However, I'll still be using this to help out my new student club members next year, so technically counts as educational use?

I'm not a lawyer, and have a teachers salary with a plastic toy soldier addiction. I'm not going to argue with anything vaguely legal looking.

Other than that, happy painting and scheming!

Until next time.


 Thanks for reading.

Primaris Space Marine Paint Planner

Image
The good chaps over at Games Workshop marketing have just released a bit of fluff on the Ultima Founding, the latest crop of Space Marine chapters.

These are all based around the Primaris Space Marines, so expect your current Marines to fade away. Again, not a bad thing, as it's just a shift to True Scale Space Marines that still lets you play with your old stuff whilst you transition.

To help you buy their new models, Games Workshop have also given you a nifty line drawing of a Primaris Space Marine, so you can plan your new Chapter.


Now I'm certain they didn't intend to add all those little gaps in the lines making it hard for you to use simple drawing editors to plan your marines on computer, nor did they realise how difficult it would be to do so on .pdf format.

So I fixed it for them. Here's the same thing with the gaps filled in, and in easy to edit .jpeg format. Don't worry Gee Dubs... Tabletop Teacher's got your back!

UPDATE: The .jpeg was getting some…

40K 8th Edition Grey Knights (Huge Reveal!)

Image
Have to admit, I stopped collecting Grey Knights a good long time ago. And by that I mean second edition. But I've always kept tabs on these Shiny Super Space Marines, mostly because I never grew out of my teenage Paladin Phase.


Paragon until the day I die.


But let's find out what they will be like in 8th Edition! Grab yourself a cup of tea first, this could take a while...


HQ Kalador Draigo



We might as well start with the biggest ball of cheese. The weirdly referentially named Draigo was the most polarising character ever created in the Wardian era of Mary Sue development. Known for stabbing demon Primarchs in the heart, and possibly undergoing a Quantumn Leap style quest through the warp, his table top presence was no less feared.
He's been downgraded to merely really good in this edition. Huzzah!
His best two features are his re-rolled failed to hit buffs and his really good sword. The Titan sword allows him to hit at Str 8, and with a -4 Rend and 3 damage he will be s…
