That's where I find I win vs shooting heavy armies. When the opponent makes a mistake, like castling. The playstyle is of one that you need to be able to spot and capitalize on opponent's mistakes, as opposed to just targeting based on threat level. Mistakes are hard to come by the better your opponent is.

Floppychop posted:I also play a full knight list and a list that's Sisters and Scions regularly. They're all pure shooting and they're just way easier to play. If you're playing Knights and it's "pure shooting" you must not be very good at playing Knights.

I have a fond memory of my three crisis suits throwing themselves, bodily, at a hive tyrant, in a vain attempt to strip it of its final wound. They succeeded but due to the opponent rolling three ones in a row

Gallant with Paragon Gauntlet is for when the gloves come off. Yeah, there are stomp attacks, but it's not my primary goal. Usually it's march up the field, shoot at the anti-armor stuff, then charge the frontline if it's within 12". Helverins are also absolute trash in melee.

Got a test marine going on.  Should I hit the edges of the shoulder pads with gold maybe? Not sure how to wash the boltgun either, though highlights with Ushabti Bone are planned.

There's at least one site out there where you can paint by numbers a marine to test out schemes

I'm so happy with how this guy is turning out. Can't wait to "finish" him tomorrow night and start adding some friends. E: I also think this is the most metal thing I've ever painted.

I don't know if you intentionally decided to only do lightning down one side but you should keep doing it. What color did you paint the cape? A contrast red or electric blue would own.

My favorite 40k moment (which is actually tied) ever was way back in 4th or 5th edition. My friend charged his Karsrkin Sgt. with a power sword into my unit of TH/SS terminators that had 2 guys left. He swung first, hit twice and wounded twice. I rolled my saves...snake eyes. The other moment it's tied with is when my friend found out the monolith could just suck units in through it's door.

LightReaper posted:While I'm sure the Warp Talon meta is just around the corner, 30 evil sunz ork boys (with a PK nob) that are da jumped have to make a 8" charge with both dice rerollable, once they get into combat they are one of the most point efficient and scariest melee threats in the entire game. It's fine to level criticism about the way GW handles melee units in general but you picked a horrible example to make your point.

I wrote some words and took some photos for my Adeptus Mechanicus army showcase on Goonhammer.  https://www.goonhammer.com/army-showcase-andrews-adeptus-mechanicus/ If you enjoy Cawl, beepboops, or radiation, then I suggest you read these words. They're good words.

Well originally someone at the comic store said I should go necrons and then another random dude approached and said I should go imperial guard and then basically 5 nerds were arguing with each other over what faction I should pick so I just kind of picked something and walked out of there while they were still arguing about it.

The way I chose mine was to find somebody whose fluff I liked and looked cool and that worked well for me. People who pick their factions based on game effectiveness, in my experience at least, have less fun with it and get significantly more butthurt when any kind of rules change or update happens.

To be fair, I find a full Ork boy mob (150+ boyz) great to see on the table, but miserable to play with or against. But this is the correct answer: dexefiend posted:Play what you want to paint. gently caress the haters. You'll be buying, assembling, and painting the models. Pick what you think looks cool.

They’re just like any other decent list in that you’re either ready for it and can have a good battle or you’re not and they roll you over. They’re certainly not dominating the competitive field or anything. Tau can be fun, and you’ve chosen Kroot to come along so that’s already deviating from the Tau castle list most people anger people with.
