I need a little help! 

I got my model order for this month, and there was a free dayglow purple Illuminated in it! 

Does anyone here have experience painting these dayglow models? I feel it's a betrayal of the model to paint over the whole thing... but I don't know what the heck to do with it otherwise.  

Any advice? 

I used a brush to apply primer to just the area's I wanted to paint. Also had some success applying thin glazes and washes directly over the areas I left translucent. 

@Le Mulot Nice work. You're really cranking them out this month!

Personally I'd relegate Alt Huggy to the Display Cabinet but others can use him as they see fit.

On a related note I'm not using Grootslangs so far because I dislike the model so much. Eventually I might make a legal conversion from Cojo and a Razorspine Rattler. (Occasionally I get pretty opinionated regarding models...)

At Dewayne's World Comics and Games 12pm

@INXVI How do you play the Emissary? Do you tend to position him more forward as a beater, more mid-field as a support model that can summon and sometimes hit things, or in the rear as full support? Given the triggers on his attack and the ability to copy other abilities (from the Conflux upgrade) it feels like I should be positioning him forward/mid-field to get the most value. Thoughts?

I just about always bring the Emissary in Ply and Executions for his built in Condition Removal on his attack. I often bring him in other Strats too because I just like him.

I tend to play him just behind the front line as his Attack has a 6" range with no gun icon. Thus he doesn't care about cover and doesn't randomize when shooting into engagements. If the enemy engages him he's still pretty tanky and should take a dedicated effort on their part to put down.

@H4ml3t I recognise Carlos but who is the other mini with him?

Alt Firestarter

@INXVI had good advice. I'll add in that I like Woe is Me over The Box Opens for her Limited Upgrade.

I'm fairly new to Pandora and our play styles may vary so you can take my opinion on Woe is Me with a grain of salt.

Finished Baby Cade for 6ss so far this month. Unfortunately his Voodoo Teddy did not survive relocation from the painting base to the final base. So I sculpted some dolls for him to play with on his day off in the swamp. 

Quick WIP pic of Baby Cade.  Basically I need to finish the skin and haven't started the hair yet. He's small so it shouldn't take long to finish.

Also, these crazy Arcanist models have invaded my Neverborn painting party and are demanding paint. We'll see what happens. (I'm excited to try their flames and try OSL) so they're distracting me.

I find Lucius great in Ply. Turns 2+ he Issues Orders to 3 Minions who Ply putting me at a huge advantage for the Strategy. Combined with the Mysterious Emissary's offensive Condition Removal I can just about always score all 4 for the Strat which almost guarantees a win.

In Wagons I like Lilith (I always like Lilith) due to the Cherubs aura of making Interacts cost 1 less.

As mentioned above Jacob Lynch in Ours provides 10 free Points to score the Strat with.

Lots of good choices for Public Executions and in Symbols I take 2 Silurids first and then build the crew.

This month I plan to finish Pandora, Alt Bishop, Candy and Baby Cade for 39ss. With any luck I'll at least get started on more.

@wobbly_goggy Models count for the month you finish them so I think you're 25 pts into March already.

@MunkyMuddFace #jealous of Adepticon. I had planned to attend for the first time this year but recent car repairs destroyed the budget for the trip. Have fun and tell us all about it.

@H4ml3t Wow, that green slime effect on the bases is amazing!

Thanks! The effect is pretty easy to get. Green/yellow/brown paint on the base--don't mix it smoothly as the next step looks better with the sharper contrasts. Then get your junk brush and "paint" Loctite Go2 glue over the area. It's a thick craft glue that dries crystal clear.

The mud is Citadel Armageddon Dunes. I realize I could mix my own textured paint but sometimes I pay for convenience.

The lollipop and hat really kick those two up a notch. Great brush work.

Local club also just announced a HH about 6 weeks out; very even mix of factions in the pool of potential players. For henchmen, I only have Barbaros, Nekima, WWeaver, Hinamatsu

This was my thought:

Nekima FGF (1ss)
Lilitu
Iggy ()
Illuminated
0 cache   (this kinda concerns me.)

Well, Nekima has the mobility, regeneration, dmg track,  extra melee action. Hit my lady? She has black blood, so take one for yourself.  To keep her dealing damage and not walking, use the 18" lure and 4" engagement for extra pain. Incite seems especially dirty in HH to disrupt the return attacks; its a Ca, so no randomization. And illuminated? Ranged attack + melee beater [remember that lure?] with built in heals, what's not to love about this costly seven stone drug addict?

I've played a similar list and done well. Having 0 stones bothered me as a player and made me nervous, but was basically fine.

The Alps seem like a liability in Ply or Public Executions and don't help score the Strat in Ours so his potential to summon seems only occasionally useful.

I think he may suffer from being too much of a generalist. He's no Beater and while he has a 7" Wk I find Silurids with their Leap ability way better for Scheme Running for a stone less. The handful of times I've had him on the table I've never felt he earned his points. It's also possible that he just doesn't suit my play style. I may give him another couple of chances with Pandora and see what happens.

@prof_bycid I've played many games of Necromunda over the past couple of decades. I'd love to see your new gang!

I like the looks of Coppelius and I like him thematically but at 8ss I haven't found a spot for him in any of my lists yet. How and when do you use him?

Seems like he could be good with Pandora but I don't know if he'd be 8 stones worth of good.

Good luck at the tournament!

They're tanky so do well in Strats and Schemes where you need models to survive. I've done well taking 2 plus a Beckoner for Public Demonstration.

As Ludvig points out, Lucius likes solid Minions so they have some synergy there.

Had a new fun idea for HH:

Barbaros with Nephilim Gladiatus

Rougarou

The Tooth

4pt model (I'm thinking the Mysterious Effigy but could also go with The Depleted or a Changeling)

The basic idea is to abuse the heck out of the Rougarou's Pounce ability with the pushes off of Barbaros and The Tooth's (0) and Attack actions. 

I didn't use Condescending but I once killed an Activated Misaki with (0) Hidden Sniper followed by a Charge using Backstab and then final AP using Backstab. Lucius can be a decent Beater in the right circumstances. 

Alternately you can tie a model or two up and give them Red Tape with his Sword Cane so he's unlikely to be hit back.

Any Updates or WIP @CapnBloodbeard? I hope it's going well for you.
