A rusted faded Orange with Purple would be pretty nice looking. I like more unusual colours on miniatures, I don't care for grey or straight black.

PantsOptional posted:I've been looking at grabbing an ADL to supplement my Devastators. My general thought was to stick a squad of lascannon devs in, have the sarge manage the quad gun, and put an ammo dump close by so that everyone's rerolling 1s to hit. Obviously at 120 points for the whole setup on top of the cost of the squad this is a bit of an investment; what would be the minimum point limit that you would take something like this in? My gut says 1000 is too low to justify it but 1250 seems like maybe I could squeak it by. Honestly, I'd take that at 1000, only I'd swap the las for heavy bolters. If you're not worried about fliers, change the gun out for a comms relay and you've got a safe spot to put down deep strikes if necessary, or drop it for the points and the savings. The las/quadgun is more than enough to pay for a decent scout squad/LSS, or another tactical squad or a minimum bike squad.

Hey, SRM, took your Belial feedback to heart and tried out a different pose. Had to cut out and reposition the leg to make him actually look like he was bracing, it's not perfect but I feel like it's 80% of the way there? Tried out a number of positions for the shield. Lemme know what you think. Not glued to base, yet, just to show contrast.

PierreTheMime posted:Yeah with the point drop I might need to consider one at some point. I don't encounter enough grav-weaponry that it would really be a problem and I really do love Torrent weapons. I just can't see it doing all that much damage over the course of a game compared to other options at that cost. You've got a couple turns for positioning and then maybe 2-3 good shots before it's either dead or the game is over. The range is only ~4" less than a 24" gun, and I usually don't get too many range issues. The tyrannofex is a pretty great onslaught target as well. Do marine players still spam grav? I thought that was replaced with droppods and melta, though I haven't been to a major tourney in a while.

^^^ Yeah, minimum three- two derps and the Champion. not lame! posted:Is the Crimson Slaughter supplement more competitive/overpowered than the standard chaos codex? Its relics are pretty good, although I would argue that they're basically on-par with the standard CSM ones (as the Blinding Axe and Burning Brand are both quite good, and the Black Mace is no pushover.) It's not allowed to take Veterans of the Lost War (so what) and gets some Fear stuff instead (also so what), but has access to a warlord table with very few "misses" on it and has a few other neat tricks. All in all it's a small boost for CSM, but not a huge one. PantsOptional posted:I've been looking at grabbing an ADL to supplement my Devastators.

My gut says 1000 is too low to justify it but 1250 seems like maybe I could squeak it by. You won't actually be able to get a Quad Gun and an Ammo Dump at the same time- you're limited to one selection from the Debris section. As for what points value to take it at, that depends a lot on how many flyers you see in your area. I probably wouldn't go for it below 1500, and only then if I had multiple units I'd want to stick behind it (that Dev squad, some Tacticals, etc.) An Aegis Line's value is in the number of units it is protecting- it's probably not worth 50pts to give one unit a 4+ cover save, but if you're running Devs, two Predators, and some Combat Squads? That's another matter.

Yeah, I don't know why I thought it was 5. I think I may have gotten it mixed up with the kit coming with 5 figures. Anyway, how do people normally run their Honor Guard anyway? You can have up to 10, but I think that is way too big of a points sink and was thinking about running 5 with a banner, and kitting them and my Chapter Master out for close combat.(Thunder Hammer for the Chapter Master, and Relic Blades or Power Axes for the Honor Guard.) This is partially for fluff reasons, and partially because it seems like it would be a pretty fun squad to run. Is that reasonable? For context, I play casually and just want to make sure that setting up a squad like this isn't completely useless but I don't care as much if it isn't the absolutely most optimal.

That you can run them in numbers "cheaply" makes failing the 2+ save not such a big deal. They can sweeping advance. They have enough attacks (3 each, +1 if you banner, -1 if you relic blade) that multi-charging and taking disordered charge isn't terrible. Throw them in a drop pod, or a Stormraven, or a Caestus.

Oooh, that does sound pretty tempting. How are the Relic blades anyway? Now I need to find two more Knight looking helms. In the same theme, I am really happy with how the building of my Honor Guard Champion has come out. The pose works really well. Now to put him in the queue with the rest of the Honor Guard that I am painting up.

Got my game in against Dark Eldar and I think I... overestimated his list a bit. An Archon attached to five Scourges with two heat lances, two Raiders with ten Warriors each, three Reavers, a Venom and crew with as many splinter weapons as possible, two Razorwings, and a Ravager. I suppose he's still trying to feel this new edition out, because it was not a strongly contested match. It didn't help him that he kept his Archon/Scourges and Ravager in Reserve in addition to his two Flyers. By the time they arrived things were already pretty much done for. We played the Contact Lost Tactical Objectives game, where you cannot draw cards without holding objectives. I won the roll to deploy/play first and he failed to seize. Having set my FMCs up aggressively at the front line (half in Shrouded range), I was able to advance quickly. The Hive Crone proved to be one of the best assets in this match, which it showed early by vomiting acid on the three Reavers in cover and earning me a fast First Blood. In addition to that, two out of the three Hive Tyrants took out both Raiders while the third (my Warlord) hid in cover in the event he wanted to push for forcing a ton of wounds onto it with the Venom that I couldn't reach in time. On his turn his Venom pumped a ton of splinter rounds into one of my two Harpies, downing it without much of a fuss. His Warriors took some pot-shots at my Hive Tyrants but failed to achieve anything of note. My second turn took the Warriors apart and blasted the Venom to pieces, dumping its occupants out who were then in turn hosed down with flesh-eating worms. Harpies dive-bombed both Warrior clusters with spore mines, taking the majority off the table while the Hive Tyrants shored up the rest. At the end of my second turn he had two Warriors left on the table, who managed to hold their ground.  Here's a shot at the end of my turn. His turn saw the appearance of his Archon/Scourges, one Razorwing, and the Ravager. As I was far into his territory, he opted to go for the relatively soft underbelly of my army still in my field (Termagants, Zoanthropes, Venomthropes, and my plucky Biovore). His HQ unit burst out of a webway and blasted the Venomthropes apart with heat rays, while his Ravager disintegrated the Biovore before it ever got a chance to liquefy any Dark Eldar.  His Razorwing dove in at my backline Zoanthrope on the right, trying to take out my Synapse net and get my Troops to scatter. The Zoanthrope died piteously, failing both 3+ invulnerable saves to two wounds.On my turn my Swooping FMCs attempted to pull back into range to cover the incoming vehicles. One of my Hive Tyrants confidently shot at the back of the Razorwing, its aim true and shots deadly. It scored four penetrating hits and one glance. The Razorwing proceeded to make all cover saves on a 6+.  (Note: after the game I was reading around and I believe the 6+ cover save is only on the first turn and/or when Night Fighting is occurring? I don't have the Dark Eldar book and honestly 6+ cover is shite so I wouldn't complain one way or the other. Even if it wasn't supposed to get it, if someone asks me "hey make this vehicle not take damage if I roll five of the same number" I'd say ok.) On his turn, the spooked Razorwing flies off the table and the Archon and the Scourges split up to try to kill two Termagant units in one turn. They find, however, that even T3 chaff is difficult to clear when it's in cover and Fearless. Both units get stuck in, the Archon cutting through four Termagants while taking no damage (he's got the 2++ field). His Ravager fires insanely at my FMCs, knowing that death is coming. It missing with all its shots. On my turn my Hive Tyrants manage to right themselves enough while Swooping to better support the back and while they can't engage in combat themselves, cast a Paroxysm on the Archon. They blow the Ravager apart with shooting. My Termagants manage to put four wounds onto the Archon, but he passes them all and kills one Termagant in return. His fourth turn finally sees both Razorwings hit the skies, who alpha strike at my Warlord Hive Tyrant. Both do an incredible job at shooting and only by the skin of its teeth does the Warlord survive with one wound (and a ton of Jinks). In close combat, the Termagants engaged with the Archon put another three wounds onto him and (trying to balance the luck from the cover saves, obviously) he gets three 1s to save. He FNPs one wound, but loses his field and understands that the end is nigh. My last turn is spent just cleaning up the rest of the table. He's cleared off in turn five, already having scored 6-1 by virtue of dominating the table. It was a fun game and he had a little bit of a comeback after his initial losses, but it wasn't enough to come back.

It's really interesting seeing things like this, doubly so because the area I play in would be pretty repulsed by a 5FMC list. Seeing a fully painted army on a fully painted table is always a good experience, though.

I think cutting and repositioning the leg might have been a mistake. If you want the model to look like it's bracing you would have been better off with the default pose. Hopefully that's an easy fix. And I don't know if this is a side effect of altering the other leg, but the left foot is at a weird angle and doesn't seem to be completely in contact with the base.
