I was wondering about the regulations about posting a link to voting for competition models? By no means do I want to violate the rules of the server. 😁

edgy cipher
#

I see nothing in the rules stopping that but at best you should ask a <@&735928989146939404>

I get antsy about suspicious links, but if it’s like an official GW competition that would be fine

😳

#

Im gonna buy that domain and upload pics of my minis there!

rose sluice
#

Thinking of making one of my overlords look like this. Any advice? (Please ignore the blutac)

#

going to cut the end of the weapon off aswell and maybe trim the cloak back abit

sage matrix
#

Yeah, it’s a competition through a warhammer shop, so it is official at a local level.

rare solstice
#

three arms looks good, but why not 4 arms and go full grievous?

rose sluice
#

don't have another arm lol

thorny totem
#

So I bought a trygon (among others things) and it’s prepainted

#

Y’all think I should remove the paint, or just paint over it?

#

I want him to match these guys

rose sluice
#

could maybe get away with just painting over it

#

colours aren't clashing too much

thorny totem
#

The white areas is just primer that he didn’t add to Y’know, so I was considering that

rose sluice
#

worth a try

thorny totem
#

I shall go ahead with that then

rose sluice
#

good luck salute

thorny totem
#

I don’t need him until next week anyways (I’m due for a Killteam tourney tonight though) and I’m sure a Trygon or a Mawloc is a good addition to my current roster

Holy Emperor, this is amazing

Honestly 3D pringint strikes again

wait those are all printed?

median pumice
#

Half of them.

lapis tundra
#

Only half the bodys

#

Arms are still gw

#

Using the spreadsheet bits from the box. And once they're primed and painted it's hard to tell the difference

tiny cairn
#

I mean for 3d printing you can print out arms and weapons for the krieg too so its not like you can't already just make those on your own most likely

This may be the most amazing model I have ever seen

the glows are (fucking pretty)

but to me its too much

Damned Legion Knight, damn it looks nice

sour hill
#

Legion of the Damned is way too badass.

#

I still love the idea that Ferrus leads the Legion from beyond.

I think they are a bit too much in my opinion but the way the knight is painted def deserves praises

Theres services to fix soaked books?

#

This is new to me

They exist. Out local library system's main campus got flooded from a water main break and they used one to save a bunch of priceless books

Gotta greenstuff it i guess

I know, it's why I said 'at least he's no lt.'

The only good part of this is the base tbh

wow

#

Like any other Primaris mini

lapis tundra
#

??

#

Show me any battle damage then

twilit cliff
#

(i just wish it was a cool inquisitor)

lapis tundra
#

Also stop hating things because they are primaris dilly >:c

proper canopy
#

it just reminds me of a zombie halloween theme, as GW can't go non trademarkable zombie route, and defaulted to necrons.

crisp forge
#

They can actually

#

Just change the name to Deadwalkers for easy copyright

twilit cliff
#

arent uh

#

those nurgle zombies... zombies?

proper canopy
#

Yeah, but you can't claim a zombie apperance.

twilit cliff
#

ahhhh

lapis tundra
#

Oh hes supposed to be the marine from the 9th edition cinematic

proper canopy
#

the pox walkers have horns all over 'em

twilit cliff

poxwalkers yes

#

just copyright poxwalkers ffs

lapis tundra
#

Didnt they?

twilit cliff

crisp forge
proper canopy
#

I meant more, zombies climbing up out of the ground, can't do regular zombies for that.

lapis tundra
#

But i think we only got 2 other primaris marines with battle damage heavy

twilit cliff
#

so im assuming this guy is more of a mantlepiece

twilit cliff
#

if i was building an army i prefer they arrived not battle damaged lul

#

ill damage them myself with bad paintjobs

lapis tundra
#

Ok nvm thats it

proper canopy
#

That guy looks like he works in customer service.

lapis tundra
#

The other one i had in mind got no battle damage

twilit cliff
proper canopy
#

"I remember when the customers didn't come in screaming like a green tide about sales."

lapis tundra
twilit cliff
#

i do love fucking with customers

#

just had one come in like "im in my right to receive these benefits"

#

and then you get to dissect why they don't lul

twilit cliff
#

maybe one day ill try that

#

i got a drill now

lapis tundra
#

Gotta try them at one point

twilit cliff
#

but im not the biggest fan

#

it's a very specific look and i feel like you do it on one unit you got to do it to the rest of them

#

and ive already kitbashed myself into a corner with using a lot of greenstuff

lapis tundra
#

Pöst!

#

I might use those techniques for dead marines on bases or minor damage on tanks

twilit cliff
#

that could work

#

i actually have some broken pieces of sm armor in my bitsbox somewhere

#

what's pöst?

#

also like

#

150 british pounds is like 175 euros lul

#

that's not in my budget

#

plus he's like a regular ass primaris marine, it's not that special apart from the base

lapis tundra
twilit cliff
#

ohhhh

#

Ill post when im actually happy with something Servoskull

lapis tundra
#

Oh fair :(

#

Know that feeling

twilit cliff
#

This week ive been trying to sculpt tassels on a robe

#

Im 4 tries in and it just never turns out good enough

lapis tundra
#

Tassels?

#

Oooh those things

twilit cliff
#

uh no but i might have named it wrong

#

hold on

#

like these two have

#

anyway ive been trying to do it with greenstuff, but i don't have enough surface area to attach them to

#

and with the amount of fuckery it takes bc they're tiny as all hell theyre either warped or look out of place

#

so probably tomorrow im going to try again with plasticard and superglue and more surface area

#

and then greenstuff over it

lapis tundra
#

Oooh

#

Good luck btw!

twilit cliff
#

i really like the vibe those things give

lapis tundra
#

Same

twilit cliff
#

plus you never see them in 40k so it should really stand out

lapis tundra
#

100%

#

I always fantasied about creating some marines with a late 14th century aesthetic

twilit cliff
#

im actually thinking he's uhh

#

an inquisitor of the ordo scriptorum or something else in a rogue trader's retinue

lapis tundra
#

Oh neat!

twilit cliff
#

havent decided on that yet

#

But yeah, it'll take a while before it's finished

#

that project is getting a bit out of hand since i decided i wanted to magnetize him too but

#

i don't know

quaint halo
#

The implication that their metal jaws can in fact open is kinda horrifying in the context of flayed ones.

lapis tundra
#

Holy shit 👀

feral valley
#

I mean that was part of the lore yea? That they shovel gobs of flesh and gore into their maws but cant ever be satisfied, since they lack a stomach?

twilit cliff
median pumice
lapis tundra
#

Replace standart head with bascinet and aventail, main problem with that would be that you cant put the aventail over the rest of the armor, which is my biggest problem rn.
Gauntlets should be easy, same with sabatons
Shoulderpads def are a huge problem :(
And finally i would add a surcoat of sort to them (also belt with sword, pouch and dagger)

#

The main problem is just the fucked up way space marine armor is designed

twilit cliff
#

Im not sure how youd get that type of armor to fitnin with sm

lapis tundra
#

Prolly just tuck the aventail under the armor :(

twilit cliff
#

yeah sorry wasnt reading gud

#

i mean the helmet

#

not sure where you'd get a good replacement

#

the coat sure but it's difficult get looking just right

lapis tundra
#

Oh for the helmet i would prolly just buy a few historical minis and make moulds

my dudes head, pauldrons and shield just arrived

MY RUST PAINTS JUST ARRIVED!

sour hill
#

Alright. Calling these boys DONE

#

So fucking stoked.

#

I want to rust EVERYTHING now

thorny totem
#

New Culexus is primed, I’m gonna be using him in a warhams-inspired campaign with my warhammer club

#

My room has horrible lighting, but I chose the face bit with no mouth and a tube in his nose, since I think it’s cool as heck

edgy cipher
#

Oh

#

I did a test print of my custodes, he ended up being a manlet

#

He is 47 mm tall instead of the average 25 for custodes

edgy cipher
#

Oh well he'll be used for the KT

#

My friend just bought the box and the compendium for all existing armies

twilit cliff
#

@sour hill what paint did you by exactly?

twilit cliff
#

if it was up to me, i'd attempt to paint a thin black line on the teeth where the red meets the white

#

to make the contrast softer

#

if that makes any sense

#

i like the little touches on the shoulders and the checker patterns, he looks waaaay more interesting now

#

the claw is also very well done, not sure how you did that

edgy cipher
#

@sour hill Hey big guy, any advices about how to paint in a more grim style stuff like black and gold ?

#

I was thinking of using darker shade, is that enough ?

sour hill
#

Got a second to pop into voice chat?

#

I can give some advice on it.

#

@twilit cliffThank you dude! Just glad the whole "rustbucket" armor effect worked.

#

I knew everything was going to be plain and boring AF until I got the rust effect.

#

I'll send a link to the site.

#

It's wonderful stuff. Seriously wonderful.

twilit cliff
#

im assuming it's not citadel paint?

sour hill
#

Nope. Definitely not.

#

It's from the UK though.

twilit cliff
#

Right, i was pretty sure i didnt recognize it

edgy cipher
sour hill
#

Got you.

edgy cipher
#

Sorry no mic

#

Yeah I have those

#

I use both

#

Nah that's fine everything noted @sour hill

#

I tend to use vallejo washes that are way darker than Nuln oil so I may use that instead of the BT contrast

#

Do you do highlights on more grim styles or no ?

#

So i may limit that to wounds and battle damage then

#

That's good advice ty

#

I'll show you once I'm done

#

Its only 2 custodes so It should be rather easy

#

I only have red and brown contrast

#

Yeah nah I'm going for a shadowkeeper one but I'm switching red for purple

#

I think I have brown skeleton ?

#

Yeah that was my intent

#

👍

#

Well I won't bother further have a nice evening

sour hill
#

❤️

#

It's pretty incredible stuff.

#

The lighter you apply it the more bright the rust effect is.

#

Heavy handed makes it dark/heavily oxidized.

twilit cliff
#

right

#

i don't like to apply too much like grime and battle damage myself

sour hill
#

And the green is also from their line. Veri something.

twilit cliff
#

bc i feel like if i start i cant stop

#

i do it on one unit, i hav eto do it on the others too

#

but for like terrain i think a 25ml pot might not be worth the pricetag?

sour hill
#

I'm only applying it to the Orks. My whole concept for the Diorama is that "Ghaz" has been leading a Waaaagh and ended up on this planet, absolutely fucking up the BT that are stationed there.

#

For terrain?

#

Yeah. I think this stuff will go quick.

#

You may want to buy a bigger bottle.

#

They sell smaller and bigger bottles.

#

It's definitely pricey. No hiding that.

#

But I'm really impressed with the product overall.

twilit cliff
#

ill give it a think

#

im focussing on one project at the time and im slow as shit

sour hill
#

Yeah. My mind is all over the place with this.

#

I figured out my colour scheme for my Necron though that will be awakening beneath the battlefield.

twilit cliff
#

like i told bobo, i retried sculpting tassles on a robe this week like

#

five times over

sour hill
#

LOL

twilit cliff
#

i never seem to get it just right

#

and im also concerned there's not enough surface area to have it stick well

#

but as long as i don't superglue whatever i sculpt in place i can try it over and over again

sour hill
#

Yee. I have like 6 sticks of posterboard tac that works really well for me to move things around.

twilit cliff
#

how do you mean?

sour hill
#

So instead of greenstuff/bluestuff or whatever.

#

I just use posterboard tac that will let me try sticking things beforehand.

#

And move them around until I'm happy with it.

#

It's dirt cheap too.

twilit cliff
#

ah yeah

#

im sculpting patterns onto robes and such to make him look more interesting

#

the various parts i got covered

#

i also kind of want to build a unique powerpack

sour hill
#

😮

#

What character?

#

Do you have any WIP?

verbal sapphire
#

"Yup, he's dead alright."

twilit cliff
#

ill post something when i put him together after all the sculpting is done

sour hill
#

@verbal sapphireLMFAO

twilit cliff
verbal sapphire
#

Blackshields are great

twilit cliff
#

what's with the arms?

#

and im assuming the uhhhh

verbal sapphire
#

DIY recasting

twilit cliff
#

cord? is something you sculpted?

#

ahhh, that explains the color

#

i recently tried sculpting a tube but it's a bit too thick to put on regular human models, maybe it'll be easier and more pliable if i greenstuffed around a copper wire or sth

verbal sapphire
#

Being a primarily IW player in 30k, turns out my collection of mk4 arms was woefully low lul

twilit cliff
#

i don't have that lying around lul

#

what i do have is meters of old phone charger cables that are fucked up

verbal sapphire
#

What I usually do if I don't have guitar string handy is either sculpt with GS (if the entirety of the cable is on top of something) or wrap thin wires around a paperclip/thin bendy thing and work from there

twilit cliff
#

oh i have these uh

#

Green stuff tube shapers

#

Or whatever those are called

#

Bc tubes make everything look 40k

verbal sapphire
#

yees

#

Warhammer is when you add tube and the more tubes you add the more warhammerier it is

twilit cliff
#

yeah

#

get a regular ass third party model

#

add tube

#

i wish i could just get something to easily sculpt various sizes of imperial aquilas

elfin yew
#

Grimdarkification tubes

verbal sapphire
#

this is why Perturabo is actually the most quintessential primarch to Warhammer

#

he has the most tubes

verbal sapphire
verbal sapphire
#

head is from the Grey Knights Paladin(?) kit

#

the one with the terminators

twilit cliff
#

also, how is that pained, just leadbelcher + agrax and some light grey around the edges

#

ahhh, ok good call

#

i like the head a lot

#

the legs

#

hmmm

twilit cliff
#

they dont look familiar to me

#

3 hours later and I think I’m about done with my Culexus Assassin

#

I’m gonna play as this guy in a 40k D&D mashup thingy

#

Him next to my two other assassins. An Eversor my friend did (and gave to me after the campaign he used it for) and a kitbashed Admech gunslinger-assassin dude

twilit cliff

That's the only model I can remember of fthe top of my head with trim like that

First attempt at a grimy death korps model. It's ok

edgy cipher
#

My friend bought the KT box and wants me to paint everything, ill post mine one day I guess

lapis tundra
#

Oof

#

F for your free time i guess

edgy cipher
#

Well my friend hates painting and loved the metal calgar I painted him last year so in exhange I get to play KT with a mate and I only pay like the compendium

#

Because he is way richer than me and for him he could buy 10 KT box a month without issues

lapis tundra
#

Dayum thats neat then

edgy cipher
#

Yeah sometimes it makes me regret my life decisions when it comes to choosing my studies etc

sour hill
#

Something is wrong with me.

twilit cliff
#

For me it's the other way around

#

I love building

#

and then just pray my paintjob is decent

vivid rune
#

Finally figured out my stormcast paint scheme

#

Im going full on Anvils of Heldenhammer

#

There lore is cool as shit

#

Ghoulish zombie lookin stormcasts made from souls of long dead heros possibly from the old world

#

Lead by Ven Brecht himself

twilit cliff
#

Do uh

#

Do AoS people think stormcast are a bit overdone like SM are?

sour hill
#

@vivid rune Can you share a pic of the theme? I'd love to see!

vivid rune

@sour hill

#

@twilit cliff theyve done some really fucking weird shit with stormcasts recently and im here for every single bit of it. If you want a good breakdown i reccomend 2+ tough's newest videos about them

fancy lads

sour hill
#

@vivid rune Those look so good!

edgy cipher
#

So I just looked at the box

#

A krieg head already came loose inside

hasty sorrel
#

ohno

edgy cipher
#

And seems to be missing (seems, i haven't touched the book yet) a small part at the end of the rebreather cable

#

I'll just paint the custodes tonight

proper canopy
#

some of the kreig rebreather cables are attached to their torso.

#

depending if it clips on the top, or side.

edgy cipher
#

It's the only head (number 21) that i've seen without that piece so unless there is 1 variant

rose sluice
#

Does this look shit?

#

I realised he was on the wrong base

#

So was thinking this might look cool

hoary ermine
#

nah its fine

rose sluice
#

Main reason i like it is cause his weapon arm extends about 5 football fields ahead of him so it makes him less sticky out

#

Plus i’m scared to try and scrape his feet off

hoary ermine
#

a knife flat against the base and under his soles always works just fine

rose sluice
#

Could always try it

oshit fem-lorgar

I cant read.

summer pawn
#

Me too, i can't read Russian....

twilit cliff
#

maybe sand it down so it doesn't have that recognizable plastic base look

#

color it with whatever dynasty colors youre using and put some sort of necron pattern on the floor or sth

rose sluice
#

Yeah

A guy in my city want to remake the battle of Warsaw

#

So i took some Kurwa Polska boi

twilit cliff
#

have the same proportions

lapis tundra
#

Oh nah i was going to just buy some for the sake of painting them

twilit cliff
#

but yeah iirc theyre pretty cheap

#

thinks its because most of them are pewter?

lapis tundra
#

14th century marines will be a project if i finish my other stuff and find the energy to convert them

twilit cliff
#

i think they do plastic now too

edgy cipher
#

@sour hill End Result

#

For a first try for a grimmier style, its alright, but I personally dont like it

lapis tundra
#

Will do that at some point tomorrow, after going to vote 😎

twilit cliff
#

ah voting day

lapis tundra
#

Yes!

#

Hope we dont fuck it up this time

twilit cliff
#

perhaps

lapis tundra
#

But yeah historical minis def are something im exited about!

sour hill
#

@edgy cipher Not bad man! I think they definitely have a nice, gritty look to them

#

I like the dirty gold you achieved too.

edgy cipher
#

I just followed your advices

#

Good thing its only a KT, I can allow myself a specific style for'em

sour hill
#

I dig it for sure. The black, gold and purple look super nice together.

#

They almost look like Custodes lost to the Black Legion. 👁️

#

Im surprised i havent seen any tyranid conversions that look like real bugs

sweet hull
#

I have to say I enjoy the variety in tzeentch daemons

#

all have very unique designs that can be turned into other things

#

as well as some demons having multiple designs like fateweavers

#

wish khorne and the others had a bit more diverse

#

dont know much about slannesh ones since i dont really like them

thorny totem
#

That’s fair

#

I mean Khorne daemons are basically just blood letters and then big stuff like skarbrand or bloodthirsters

sweet hull
#

yeah and fleshhounds and those weird boar things that ive not seen (i think) in 40k but in aos

#

I really enjoy the daemons mainly shown in the books that dont belong to any of the ruinous powers

#

like the shapeshifting one in spears or the biter in watchers of the throne

was not me

wish i could come up with that

Yeaaah, my camera is crap haha

Nice custodes

#

Better than mines that for sure

I may redo them. Theres a big seam line on their tabards

For Terra! For Unity!

YOOO

#

All that gold ❤️

#

also appreciate the fact that you just didnt do him white lol

sour hill
#

Do people normally leave Big E white?

crisp forge
#

Normally yeah

#

in-canon his skin is bronze-esque from the way most novels tell it

#

but thats just a nitpick for me so ignore it KEK

sour hill
#

I think he looks way better this way.

#

People just like white supremacist Big E.

Maybe I'm just biased though, being an olive tone man myself. 😳

Funnily enough @crisp forge I based his skin tone off the hero from Turkish star wars Cüneyt Arkın who, like the big E, was from Turkey and born in the Anatola region. Still didnt get the color 100 percent and I think I messed up the eyes but good enough

sour hill
#

That's awesome!

#

My wife has just started to put together my Orks for me. I got MOST of the base coat if my Warboss last night.

dusk hill
#

why do i feel like this has been said before

#

deja vu

median pumice
#

Because I did say it lol, but still worth repeating lol

#

The colors for the skin were doom bull brown mixed with Vallejo flat green for the base, and then some karak stone mixed with a small amount of doom bull brown with deathworld Forest and karak stone for the highlights

#

Oh also for one of the highlights to try and give his skin some luster I added a small drop of stuart semple's gold to a highlight to give it a little lustre

#

Not too much just like a dab of paint. I dont think it shows but I know it's in there lmao

sour hill
#

Still need to paint the nob on his back. Probably red? And I'm leaving the axe head white but adding some detail colours.

#

Or no! Purple! Invisible nob. The gun is firing on its own!

They sold him what they argued as the KT Octavius box in french, its in english

Yeah but the box was already cut open

So he cannot ask for his money back

Bceuase you need to open the box before checking the rulebooks

I guess he too won't buy a GW product in a while

Mmmmh, idk if he goes to an Hobby max he can switch 🤔

Cuz i sell some necrons who the box was open and he say "its fine"

Yeah. It's not really GWs fault. Just a shitty store/worker there.

#

Not that GW is a holy company.

But.

#

It's pretty shitty that happened to him.

#

I have a local-ish GW store I travelled pretty far to twice one week and spent over 100 both times.

#

And never got coins, figures, etc.

Which I'm disappointed about.

Wosrt part is that I told him that the website specifies the box only exists in english

No characters tho

i forget who it was but there was def a recent firstborn character

Yes.

#

They did kill off a firstborn.

lapis tundra

1

To like 20

sour hill
#

🤷‍♂️

#

Named character deaths. 1 of 20 or whatever is fine.

dusk hill

imagine how anticlimactic that would be

sour hill
#

Meanwhile we have an unnumbered amount of standard firstborn who may have passed.

dusk hill
#

ye this character we had before just had a surgery and then died offscreen lmao

sour hill

LMFAO

GW gives everyone else the pass to kill marines just to end firstborn

lapis tundra
dusk hill
#

primaris marines do look better tho

sour hill
#

I don't mind the upgrade. So long as we get Primaris right now. Later on I want them to truescale Firstborn. Let them be different but better.

dusk hill
#

cus they aren't like

#

regular human height

sour hill
#

I don't want them to only do SM forever. But in the future as Firstborn become really aged.

#

Let them truescale them like Chaos.

#

Higher quality models is always a plus, imo

dusk hill
#

ultimately idc about marines but ye would be nice

I want everyone to get what they want out of their units/armies.

I'm so stoked for the Eldar homies next year.

It's perfect. Legit.

I love old helm + new armour.

its a good combo 👌

Maybe truescale Firstborn will be similar to that in the future.

crisp forge

Yeeee

sour hill
#

It's a nice look.

#

🙏

lapis tundra
sour hill
#

I agree 100%

#

There already exists firstborn everything. So hear me out.

#

If they Primaris everything it means upgrade sprues for everything in the future exist.

#

So when they DO truescale Firstborn.

#

You can make any army with proper sprues and sized well.

crisp forge
#

Man heres hoping

sour hill
#

So do it in batches.

lapis tundra
sour hill
#

Like. The upgrade sprues that are out there are great for old and new Marines.

#

So if they keep putting out Primaris, it means we have sprues for Firstborn truescale.

#

Just my 2 cents. They could completely subvert my expectations and kill off Firstborn.

Meta answer is that they made 2 sculpts

and just rolled with it

lapis tundra

verbal sapphire
#

I think the old UM honour guard

also only came with 2 sculpts

#

so maybe it's just a body guard thing?

lapis tundra

They came in a 5 man squad iirc

verbal sapphire

if I remember

#

they came with the command squad kit

and you could only make 2 of them(?)

I thought they only came with calgar

we might be talking about different fellows

lapis tundra

It's the kit called "Ultramarines Honour Guard"

makes 2 honour guard

1 chapter champion

#

1 chapter ancient

hoary ermine

could it be this?

cause these are five

#

they had an older kit together

where all 5 sat in 1 bx

lapis tundra
#

Nah it aint in stock anymore elyksis

They used to have a kit

which was the Honour Guared kit + Termi Calgar (best Calgar)

maybe you're thinking of that?

Yes

feral valley
#

i need a bit of advice regarding a build and im really tired of the competitive reddit kek

elfin yew
#

Theres me, zherlum, jambo, ratty plays KT

#

More too of course

feral valley
#

i got a ticket from being on a GT waitlist and im basically on a short limit to get a list in so i need to make some final calls

elfin yew
#

What faction are you playing?

feral valley
#

Knights

#

more or less im trying to decide house and warlord setup really

elfin yew
#

Hm, not sure who we have who plays Knights

feral valley
#

well theres not much special stuff to them in the considerations really

#

ive got what i think is a solid, but most importantly fun, base list

#

just need to figure out what buffs they can use the most really

#

like everyone on the competitive side, save a couple, seem to think House Krast is the best option since my list is super aggressive, as they give rerolls to ALL failed melee hits

#

but im thinking it might be better to go custom, or maybe griffith

#

griffith gives an extra attack on the charge, when charged, or making an HI, and makes all your models able to make an HI as if they were characters

#

i think thats somewhat spicy, really

#

but im still a scrub

elfin yew
#

Rerolling all failed melee hits seems besto to me

feral valley
#

yea its definitely good

#

but that makes it so i have to go mechanicus allegiance

#

which isnt TERRIBLE

#

mechanicus allegiance makes all your models heal 1 wound at the start of the command phase

#

but i want to go Imperial Allegiance because of two strats

#

also the allegiance itself gives +1 to advance and charge

#

but anyways

elfin yew
#

Is it gonna be like

#

Rlly competitive?

#

If so keep in mind whats likely to appear

feral valley
#

the two strats im looking at are "Iron Hail Stubbers" which, for 1 CP gives all your stubbers AP-1 for the game.

elfin yew
#

Drukhari and Admech

feral valley
#

so id be getting 30 extra shots at AP-1 a turn

elfin yew
#

Thats p good

feral valley
#

and yea i know beleive me

#

also, Sally Forth

#

which lets me outflank an entire squadron of armigers

elfin yew
#

High volume ap-1 fire is p good against drukhari

feral valley
#

im also bringing a few lightning locks

#

STR6, AP2, D1, hits of 6 make 2 additional hits automatically

#

but only bringing 3

#

this is a very melee heavy list haha

elfin yew
#

Be prepared for if one of ur best strats gets double costed

feral valley
#

anyways, so i want to stick to Imperial because of those strats, and the charge bonus. I think its worth it.

elfin yew
#

Or +1 costed

feral valley
#

well, both are one use

#

and pre game

elfin yew
#

Ag

#

Ah

feral valley
#

anyhow. even after those, ill have 8 cp

#

so.

#

i think i need to stick to imperial

#

krast is good, damn good

#

but i think those strats are worth it

#

so prolly griffith or custom

#

if i went custom, it would likely be hounds of war and noble combatants

#

hounds lets all armigers fall back and either shoot at -1, or charge.

#

noble combatants makes your 6s to hit in melee cause an additional hit

#

my mobility would be insane

#

or stormstriders, which makes you have +1 to movement and your movement doesnt degrade

#

thats a solid option

#

falling back 15 and charging into another enemy is a gross ability

#

ok, anyways! so thats the house issue solved i think. Now, the warlord

#

my warlord is an armiger moirax. Hes got a siege claw and a lightning lock

#

i dont think that on a 12 wound model with T7 that the relics/traits that boost his toughness are worth too much

#

so for trait, im either looking to take Longstrider for +2 advance and charge within 6 inches, OR Blessed by the Sacristans, for MW on 6s

#

i think with the lightning lock, which makes 3 hits on a 6, MWs could be pretty nasty

#

thoughts?

elfin yew
#

Only 12 wounds? They have a invuln, right?

#

Thats in Lancing distance

feral valley
#

they have a 5++

#

which one can be boosted to a 4++ using a 1cp strat

#

but only for the phase

#

and yes 12 wounds

#

the nice thing is im bringing 14 of them
