If you've got any questions about something in this post, shoot me a comment and I'll be glad to answer. Grey Knights Brother Captain ShowCase No15 So here we have a Grey Knight Brother Captain, Its painted using the GW paint scheme but with an Ichiban Painting twist. Here are a few more links on priming models:Īnd the definitive guide to building and magnetizing a drop pod.Ĭleaning mold lines off resin and large models Posts about drop pod written by ichibanpainting. A simple wash with soap and warm water ( of course there's more to getting resin prepared to work with) and there's no problem at all getting the spray paint to adhere and leave a nice, smooth coat to work with. This really comes in handy with models like the drop pod where I can paint large areas, work on them and then go back and clean up the edges where paint may have gotten on the wrong part.Īnother nice feature of this particular combination (of brands of paint) is that it works great on resin models like the Forge World drop pod I'm working on now. Now this won't work when I use other techniques like priming with different colors similar to what I did with my Lustwing to achieve a certain feel to an army.

It also allows me to go in as I'm working and clean up and mistakes I made without having to worry about the colors matching. This allows me to spray prime most everything I paint and then go back and touch up the areas I missed with the bottle paint. a good, black spray paint and a cheap black bottle paint that are exact matches.
#PEPEKURA 40K DROP POD TRIAL#
I use a combination of spray priming and brush priming.Ī while ago, after much trial and error, I found two things. Q: Why is it spawning all broken up/ floating?Ī: You need to click off Terrain Level before spawning any comp, click the first link in the description, there's a section in the first part in the yellow box that'll show you what the button looks like.I thought I might share the little trick I have when it comes to priming models. You'll find this composition in the editor, once there you need to press the groups key or F2 then click on the composition icon. Labels: 40k scenery, 40k terrain, Captain Stainguard 40k, Drop pod, scratch building. First off, this will provide plenty of terrain to block line of sight and secondly it will give me a really cool battlefield scenery as well.
#PEPEKURA 40K DROP POD HOW TO#
Q: Why isn't this "mod" showing in the launcher/ how to spawn it?Ī: This isn't a "mod", its just a composition, and wont show in your launcher. I had planned to make a table top with a drop pod landing battlefield theme with pods scattered all over.

it can also be repaired once landed, meaning "shooting them down" is usually just a faster landing also its very survivable (for occupants, crew, vehicles, and itself) from crashes, even when disabled from extreme height. Drop Pod Assault: This model must start the battle set up high in the skies (see Death From Above) but is not counted towards any limits that the mission you are playing. This models deathstorm cannon array can be replaced with 1 deathstorm missile array.

on the ground it's very powerful, capable of withstanding fire from multiple leman russ tanks, with lots of defences and capable of carrying a large ground force, making it difficult to even approach it (though it does take along time to deploy all 270 guardsmen.) in the air its a true flying fortress, having armor capable of shrugging of most AA and AT ordnance (Hell Strikes will easily kill it though). A Deathstorm Drop Pod is equipped with: deathstorm cannon array. launch drop pod and select location on map to dropĪ: Not really. Questions & Answers Q: How do I use the drop pods/ valkyrieĪ: Get in, then release the safety clamps (the ship must be stationary), now your good to go.
