I'm thinking of grabbing a squad of guardsmen to kitbash up some Gue'ves'a, and I want to appeal to the thread. Do I give them Pulse Carbines, Pulse Blasters, or Pulse Rifles? Hell, do I make them an honest to god Pathfinder team (like I need more of them?  ), or keep them as a Strike Team? Do I keep them all in one squad, or do I mix them in with random T'au-species squads for desegregated infantry units?I've got enough spare T'au infantry that I'm going to paint up my full 2k list in the Tau'noir scheme I like with the airbrush, but I'm also going to start slowly building a Vior'la list for shits and giggles and to see if I can pull of the sick as hell red and white paint scheme.

Thanks for the kind words! I put the rest of my (in focus) photos up:  This was the beginning of the end for my guard.  I spent my first shooting phase blasting these guys with nearly everything I had, and two survived. He's using Primaris and converted marines as truescale Marines, these were Sternguard.  His Stormraven was the game's MVP. Once he got to my lines it was pretty much over... on turn 2. moths fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Jul 13, 2018 |

I would also love to hear people's thoughts on this, for normal Fire Warriors. I'm considering pulse carbines since I expect to paint them as Vior'la Sept and that allows them to advance and fire two shots without penalty up to 18 inches (and assault 2 benefits more from the pulse accelerator drone than rapid fire 1). I like the idea of an aggressively mobile list rather than a static gunline.

I'll get some lovely phone pictures later, but it's my take on a Sin City-style film noir. Base colors are black/dark/light grays, some metallic bits, and then green lighting detail from visors, weapons, lenses, and scopes with OSL. I haven't gotten to basing them yet, but they'll be done with greyscale brick and stone so the entire army looks like an urban camo night fight.

Deathwatch Kill Team Preview Vets, Intercessors, Rievers. Mentions a "tiny model count", but no word on if they're just more expensive than others or there's a limitation on the number of models they can take.

Two of the guns on the Chaos Decimator from Forge World (C-Beam and Storm Laser) just went on Last Chance to Buy, and I'm worried I might be missing out. Does anyone have experience with these two weapons and can tell me if they're anything special?

"Does it look cool?" I've realized is the correct way to build WH armies. That's why I've bought 3 attack bikes in the last 2 months.  e: Embarrassed to admit it took me 2 years of collecting 40k to figure this out.

Taking knights, witha mix of sisters of battle and =][= for a spin tonight. My friend is bringing his lone chaos knight together with his legions, and I am curious to see how this works out. Are Deathwatch veterans with chainsword and storm bolters as great as they look on paper? Backed up by a watch master, they're 40 rerollable bs3 shots wounding monsters and infantry on 2+, with rerollable 1s depending on your tactic. A 10 man squad + Watch Master is only 330 points, and you can easily deep strike them for 3cp.

Maneck posted:What size/shape magnet(s) did you use? for the arms, I used 8mm flat magnets, 2 or 3mm thick. 8mm is the right size to fit in the hole the bottom of the arm already has. you can find them in loads on amazon. for the waist, I used 10x2mm magnets. I put magnets in the top of the arm, the weapon end of the arm, the waist, one on the inside top of the carapace (right inside where the weapons go, so they stick to that spot), inside the feet, and on the bottom of the base. This makes the base removable. Make sure you get the arms the right polarity. The first time I put the arms on my knight, they weren't interchangeable. So I had to dig them out and redo them. For the missle pods, I put a piece of sprue inside the front, and then the missle part has a magnet on it. This makes it so I can swap between the stormspear and ironstorm pods without having to buy more bits. If you just buy another battle cannon from a bits store, you can have a completely interchangable knight. The thermal cannon and the battle cannon have the same base, with a different gun on them. You could always attempt to magnetize the barrels to the base part, but I didn't know if I could make them look good enough. For like $20, I just have complete arm assemblies that I can swap.
