It's the same with Commissar Raine. I think it's normal humans are a head taller now.
Personally I'm really not a fan. I liked the size difference between Primaris and humans.

March 25th-29th - anyone going?
Really hoping they give inquisitors rules similar to crusaders so they don't disrupt keywords for Astra Militarum or Adpeta Sororitas doctrines.
Especially as it would allow them to more easily run Sororitas like their old Witch Hunter style armies and bolster their relatively small pool of units.

Yyup! As soon as I heard this issue was Inquisition I told my local store I wanted a copy 300% reserved. An Inquisition codex in 2020 following the Sisters release would be perfect.In November's White Dwarf:

That crime imprint sounds great. I love the Inquisition books.
Pleased to see the first one is by Chris Wraight, following his Vaults of Terra books and accompanied by the second Watchers of the Throne book. I like his depictions of crumbling, urban 40k cities.

I wonder if they'll fold in Chris Wraight's Wolf pack from Blood of Asaheim/Stormcaller? They were last seen heading off on a quest into the void, and he hinted that he'd return to them at some point. Still, he's an insanely busy guy at the moment, I suspect those characters are small fry compared to the big wolfy players.
Been reading the new novella Severed that follows Nemesor Zahndrekh and Vargard Obyron around. Its fun and refreshing to read from a necron perspective, especially since the Nemesor is such a whimsical old coot and Obyron has had to endure listening to his bullshit for millions of years

Love those models! I most likely wont be using any for a game, but may paint one or 2 eventually!
Jesus. GW has constantly been hitting it out of the park but these models are spectacular. Even if I never collect an army I'm definitely going to pick up an Imagifier.
I can already hear the screaming of 1000 painters having to paint that many faces. They aren't as craggy as space marine faces and look like they are gonna take some work.
Yeah, awesome models but look like they'd be hard to paint!
What are generally considered the easiest GW minis to paint?

For 40K, it has to be Necrons. Just paint them in Leadbelcher, wash with Agrax Earthshade and drybrush with Necron Compound. Then go back and fix a few details. Plus as an elite army there's a low model count.
Orks are the opposite; every model has a ton of detail and you need to field tons of them. Especially if you are painting them as Bad Moons since yellow is kind of a pain (although Averland Sunset is a godsend).
I'd probably say Space Marines (with helmets on), Necrons (though some Necron kits can be trickier to assemble) and now Tyranids too (contrast paints work great with them).
I'd say Necrons or Tyranids, both of which you can get good results with contrast paints.
Chaos (nurgle) is pretty easy as a mix of green/brown/yellow contrast or washes over bone does the job.
Also Adeptus Mechanicus- like Necrons you're painting the metal bits with contrast/washes then tidying up before adding a colour (red/cream).
Mechanicus have to be the hardest surely.
So many little wires, cables, guns, gubbens, thingies, widgets, wibbly wobblies.
Depends on your dedication I suppose- a friend of mine just painted them as Necrons in red/cream cloaks :D
Never have I been any happier to skip a product than I am about this Sisters box. The multi-part kits look SO GOOD. LOOK AT THAT CANONESS. THAT HIDEOUS NECK THING IS GOOOOOOOOOOONE! THOSE SISTER HEADS, AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Thank the Emperor all this only drops next year, I need so sell a couple livers for this.
Also, that flying, burninating pulpit? That's just P E R F E C T.

So looks like I have my miniature hobby time booked for next year. So cool!
One thing I quite haven't made up my mind about yet and wouldn't mind discussing. I know I want to paint my army with white armor with red or purple robes and gold shiny stuff. What I don't know is if how I should go about painting the white.
The options I am considering are contrast paints and airbrush with oil washes.
Things to consider:
- I have never used either method before and want to try them both eventually
- I will have to wait until April before I have a place to use my airbrush, but it's winter anyway and spray priming is risky
- I want to paint the vehicles too and it feels like contrast paints are not the best option there
edit. also this will literally take place next year because even if I preorder the new boxed set it will not get here until next year because the postal workers are at strike. Oh well.

Hmm, have you looked at any articles on painting White Scars? They might have tips.
Just with a paintbrush:
With an airbrush:
Yeah I have been looking into this and have had my fair share of pain with painting white. When I am brushing white I use Vallejo Model Air White Grey and I can get okay results (like the guys below), but for this new project (and whole lot of white power armour to paint) I'm looking at the two methods I mentioned specifically as I have been led to believe they are both a somewhat easy way to get good results.
I paint my Scars with Vallejo's Grey primer and then some airbrush zenital with Ulthuan Grey at 45º and whateveriscalled Vallejo's white from their head. Once I tried it on the first few miniatures, I couldn't think of using any other method anymore to paint white. What a wonderful toy the airbrush is. A couple pics to ilustrate:
With the white done:
One of those lads finished (sans base and dust on the legs):
Vehicles require a more regular application of Ulthuan Grey and a more precise White highlighting, but can't complain on the results. Although on the Reiver up there I still used inks to outline the armour. Nowadays I just go full cheat with a 0'03mm sharpie. Never tried to use oil washes tho, it just scared me :P

Yours look great Kharnete .
However it's precisely the panel lining I am looking to avoid by the use of oil washes.
I suppose I am leaning airbrush at the moment, but I have seen some very good looking applications of contrast paints when painting white however, like this below.
Now that I think about it, I am looking for more off-white creamy white than pure white.

A good off-white would be Ulthuan Grey, maybe Celestra Grey but I've never tried that one. The white armor on my Slaughterpriest is done with Ulthuan Grey highlighted up to White Scar. It was primed grey. Terrible lighting but I think you get the idea.
As a tyranid player I feel like the range is one of the more complete ones. The kits go together beautifully offering great conversion potential and there is a wide variety.
Also this is the best (off)white also for brushing but this is besides the point. :)

Tyranids hold a special place in my heart. They're the army I've always wanted to start but too many projects are in the way. I've already done a huge purge of plastic but I have a couple armies remaining. I may sell or trade one of them for some Nids. But Sisters are calling to me now as well.
Nids are mostly great, but I'd love new gaunts, stealers, tyrant guard and we're DESPERATE for a plastic Biovore/Pyrovore set.
Be nice to have a plastic titan too

Nids need something smaller than a Heirophant. I'd love a giant serpentine Titan.
StaffyManasse how does that paint behave on a brush? They're thinner out of the bottle than your standard acrylic right?

I use that almost straight out of bottle when brushing. Works like a charm, even on top of black primer!
Eldar still need the most love, imperial guard kits are also really showing their age now.
Tbh, the reason I didn't like the vanguard rollout of primaris marines so much is that Primaris desperately needs a melee presence thematically, but if they were to rollout primaris melee next year (and there are some rumors), xenos players will have a conniption.
