The games are completely compatible, or at least they were last time I was playing.
If I hadn't just bought the Star Wars Legion core, I would certainly give this a shot.

They're the same game, the separation is just a difference in specific mechanics, split down the middle.OK, a second sale now. Hmmm. I've resisted getting into Warmachine for so long and this makes it tough.
Isn't there some cross play between Warmachine and Hordes?
Yeah, those reds are super eye catching. Also, how'd you end up with two of the regular necromancer?
If I am able to see some brush strokes, what am I doing wrong? I am working towards a cool white and this is I think my 4th layer. Example pic
So, the starter box set I bought is resin/plastic mix. I think the stand alone ones are metal though.What are the Privateer Press minis made of, metal?
Probably not a good thing to buy for a beginner right?
The former, haha. Sorry, wasn't clear. :PA mix? As in parts are metal and parts are resin, or a literal mix (is that even possible haha)?
I love the use of torn foam/sponge for dirt effects, and the special wash recipe. Your models look great!Trying out a new speed painting strat with these Tau Pathfinders I bought.
I based em like normal (put white glue on the base and dunked them into basing material, wiped excess off with a tissue)
Decided I wanted them to look like stormtroopers so I primed them white
Waited for that to dry, went over the base with a brownish dirt wash.
Did a black coat for the parts I wanted to be black
Did some red details
Took some ripped foam, dipped it in a brassy brown paint and lightly scraped the minis to give that dirty / chipped battle scarred look
Threw in this wash my friend mixed that's got like browns, blues and blacks in it he calls it "armor wash" I will have to ask him for the recipe because this shit is magic
Used some snow texture paint on the base
And bam
Probably gonna go back over them and paint in extra details, on the guns and stuff but considering all 10 dudes took me like 1hr I am very pleased with the results.
Thanks! The foam was a hot tip from my friend I was very pleased with the results. And lol "applying the blessing of Nurgle" that's amazing. Mixing custom stuff is definitely satisfying. It's got a very personalized feeling on something that's already pretty personalized. A good wash is seriously a force to be reckoned with, you can just barely tell the white is just bare primer on my dudes.My flatmate at the time referred to it as 'applying the blessing of Nurgle' and he wasn't wrong :D
I'm just getting back into miniature painting after years away from the hobby, so am storing tips like yours for future reference. It's a strange kind of nostalgia, I've built so many armies as a kid and a young adult, and am now returning to it aged 40, as I find it incredibly relaxing and rewarding. The models are so detailed now, I remember when Eldar had lasguns, Imperial Guard had beastmen and death guard were four metal models :DThanks!

Lol I recently got an old like 1993 era metal Druhkari Hekatrix and she looks so different from everything else now. You're right the models are super high detail now. My wyches were such a pain in the ass to build. Small tiny bits that felt like they could snap off, and everything was so spiky and annoying to grab lol.The models are so detailed now, I remember when Eldar had lasguns, Imperial Guard had beastmen and death guard were four metal models :D
I store all my board game minis in Plano boxes. I haven't had any get damaged, but I don't really bang them around that much.Any advice on storing spindly/fragile plastic miniatures in cases? My old metal ones were incredibly vulnerable to the cases themselves breaking and then the impact of their mass on concrete shattering any bonds, but I look at the foam for storing models today and it seems harder than some of GW's kits! They seem designed more for display cases than transport (some more than others- Marines and most infantry are fairly compact but the more esoteric stuff I'm thinking of).
I need help. I want to get my niece something to paint. However, I don't know where to start. She is about 10 and I know she loves to read, draw, color. This is the second time I have met my niece as my brother is not being a good dad. My mother has finally gained a relationship with her mother and I want to get her something. I know her favorite book is the Harry Potter series.
Damn man, every single one of those looks striking! Awesome work!
