Does this seem like a Word Bearer or Blood Angel red, instead of Thousand Sons.

Yeah, so next test will be with a gold base, and if it's still so dark I'll try Angron Red instead of Tamiya.

Its a lovely red but it does scream Blood Angels to me. Thousand sons have quite a bright red.

Awesom salamanders! One of my favorite Legions. I kinda love that 1850p in 30K can come to so few minis and be perfectly viable, too.

Agreed. The Typhon is a cooler use of the chassis.

Also turns out that a gold base works out to a lighter, richer result.



Spoons don't look like they are possessed by daemons, so it's good enough to start on some models.

So they ditched the heresy only side event idea... I had a good first game but am now playing eldar cookie cutter with min maxed dark eldar so he can deep strike D strength flamers with no scatter.

Also his wraithknight has one leg and no arms, and most of his stuff is unbased with no weapons. Will do full trip report later. -. -

Being honest he was a very polite and nice opponent. Just a bit galling to fight a wraithknight with one arm and one leg, and unpainted fire Dragons on unpainted terrain-light table. Bit of a shame.

Definitely will persevere with day 2, but I won't do another 40k tournament as the meta is just completely hosed - everyone has tau or eldar

Will do full trip report later. Third game was vs eldar, but a fluffy Alaitoc list which didn't feel TOO powerful. Still ridiculous bullshit but the opponent was an absolute dude. I won 23-20 on points, went to bottom of 6.

Deredeo is MVP. Culls a vehicle a turn.

I was toying around with the idea of getting one when I did my Forge World order but ultimately decided I needed transports more, currently. Soon, though!

I was wondering about the missile launcher. It doesn't need LOS, but what if nobody has LOS to the target?

I assume it's like shooting with artillery - you know the target is in the general area and can still lob poo poo downrange.

Yeah I don't think anything needs LOS to it. It just hits like magic.

Autocannon dodo with aioli missiles is great because you pretty much always have valid targets. Air anything, ground transports and mid-armor vehicles, and anything AP3.
