Airbrushing your washes does give it a different look than painting by hand though. It becomes more of an overall tint and doesn’t really flow into recesses like with a brush. Also you don’t really use less wash, it just gets applied 50x faster than by hand.

TheChirurgeon posted:On the whole, I think I'd have been better off taking Cultists, but I only had about 40 or so painted up to use. They worked out alright. I took them as 4 bolters plus a plasma gun, both for a little extra oomph and to take advantage of the legion trait (it never really came into play though). I'll probably end up taking at least a couple of squads to NoVA just because I won't be able to make massive cultist blobs work. Going to try a mixed unit of Havocs and standard marines in rhino's. The marines are just your bog standard Marines with CC weapons, while the Havocs will be plasma/ melta. I'm curious to see it how they fair.

One_Wing posted:They appear to be “did the designers forget how to count” levels of overcosted I’m afraid. According to battlescribe you can have a twin las + two heavy bolter predator for five points more than a las/missile centurion. Thanks for the advice! They do indeed appear to be overcosted! How do people feel about a few Redemptor Dreadnoughts? I know they’re a bit expensive, but I really like how they look, and they’d look at home in my Primaris army.

Maybe it would help if I better explained what I'm dealing with. I bought the Dark Imperium box set a while ago, and am trying to expand the Primaris Ultramarines army I made with the DI models. Currently I have this army: ++ Patrol Detachment (Imperium - Space Marines) [50 PL, 831pts] ++ + No Force Org Slot + **Chapter Selection**: Ultramarines Gametype: Open + HQ + Captain in Gravis Armor [7 PL, 134pts]: Adept of the Codex, Boltstorm gauntlet, Master-crafted power sword, The Santic Halo, Warlord Primaris Lieutenants [10 PL, 148pts] . Primaris Lieutenant: Master-crafted auto bolt rifle . Primaris Lieutenant: Power sword + Troops + Intercessor Squad [5 PL, 90pts]: Bolt rifle, 4x Intercessor, Intercessor Sergeant Intercessor Squad [5 PL, 90pts]: Bolt rifle, 4x Intercessor, Intercessor Sergeant + Elites + Primaris Ancient [5 PL, 69pts] + Fast Attack + Inceptor Squad [10 PL, 135pts]: Assault bolter, 2x Inceptor, Inceptor Sergeant + Heavy Support + Hellblaster Squad [8 PL, 165pts]: Plasma incinerator . 4x Hellblaster . Hellblaster Sergeant: Bolt pistol ++ Total: [50 PL, 831pts] ++ Created with BattleScribe I'm thinking of expanding it with a Primaris Librarian and 2x Redemptor Dreads for anti-armour (my friend plays Knights).

Redemptors are probably 50-80 points overcosted. They are really the worst Dreadnought chassis.

Unless you really want to put dreads in, I would suggest going with more hellblasters. They're probably one of the better units in the codex, aren't going to die to single high damage shots from the knights, and when they do die they benefit from the ancient banner. For the same 400 points that the 2 dreads run you could put another 10 hellblasters in and have a few left over. Plus they're cheaper $$ wise.

The Redemptor is one of my favorite models GW has put out recently but you should absolutely not depend on them for your anti tank. If you want to stick with Primaris I'd just grab more Hellblasters or a Repulsor, and if you're willing to expand to the older kits Predators are pretty reasonable as well. Seriously though, Redemptors are such great models. Once you're a little more established I'd definitely recommend picking one or two up because they'll 100% get buffed and they are just so much fun to work on. My large, terrible child for context:

mango sentinel posted:You wouldn't get the recess pooling the same way you really want though. True. I'd probably do the airbrushed Nuln, a drybrush of Necron compound, then an oil wash for the recesses if I were going for a really solid look. Or maybe use a Vallejo acrylic rust wash in the recesses.

If I have a 10-man squad of Intercessors and decide to combat squad them into 2x 5-man squads, do both squads get a Sergeant? I'm pretty sure that only one squad gets a sergeant, but am unsure.

You are almost always better running Intercessors in two 5 man squads than in a single larger group and combat squadding. Two separate squads fills out twice the number of troop slots and gives you two sergeants who have extra attacks and can take power swords.

It sounds like it might be better to build any 10-man intercessor boxes I buy as 2 separate squads, each with a sergeant of their own. They only thing I'm concerned about is that "no more than 3 datasheets" beta rule that was recently announced. At the moment my army has 2x 5-man Intercessor squads, and I really want a third, but any box I buy will give me 10 models rather than 5. Edit: Exactly ^^^^

Troops are exempt from that rule. 10 man squads can be useful, but the times they're useful are typically against big hordes that you want to be able to ensure you get overwatch against instead of merely being piled into/consolidated into, or when using Stratagems that affect units at a time like the Deathwatch +1 to wound strats or the Imperial Fist more-shots-on-6s. Most reasons to use a 10 man aren't very good. EDIT: Unless you're using it to try to beat the bid to go first. That's a big deal.

Strobe posted:Troops are exempt from that rule. Even trying to beat the bid to go first really isn't that big a deal. If you win it's about a 60% chance, if you lose about a 40% chance, accounting for both the +1 on the roll and the 6 to sieze. It would make a significant difference if you're playing with the old rulebook missions that are just a flat go first if you deploy first.
