Your suggestion of "Organ Grinder" reminds me that the White Wolf TTRPG Orpheus had a supplement called The Orphan-Grinders. "Orphan Grinder" would also probably work as Night Lords graffiti.

Yeah, there's a reason I'm making a conscious decision not to buy any more dreads until errata confirms if they're intended to be this strong. (and the reason isn't just because this first dread has been even more of a nightmare to paint than the already bad infantry). They're cool, they're iconic, they fill a lot of roles... and they also remind me of playing Tau in 7th and the feelings on any suit bigger than a Hazard.

Woof. I feel like FotA is going to turn out to be a paper tiger, although the Xyphon is criminally undercosted. Surprised it's happening at Warhammer World though, the biggest draw is that it's a really easy army to print.

Make sure to spray seal your decals after you print them! It basically the difference between success and an annoying failure.

This time around, in honor of the ancient Roman tradition, the losers will face

Looking for opinions on basing. I'm liking the rim of the drill so far, but there's a bit of open space and I'd like to... not have open space on there.

The rest of the bases are muddied battlefield entering into an industrial/city area. So light uses of barbed wire, lots of dead grass, mud, tank tracks, broken building chunks, etc.

Its a paper tiger because normal people with normal lists will refuse to play it :laugh:

I also talked about the Xiphon before. Its good, but I don't think its criminally underpriced. It's gonna spend 2, possibly 3 turns on the table. It competes with the Jav, which costs about the same for a few less shots, but with better surviveability and board presence from turn 1 (and can come in from reserves in a few other ways)

When I last printed decals on an inkjet they came out really thick after the spray seal. Is it poor technique on my part or just a consequence of DIY decals?

I've never had any success printing decals with an inkjet, but I've clear coated the laser/ toner style and it worked pretty great.

I guess better advice would be to try that if whatever you're doing isn't working.

You should probably put a layer of some sort of varnish over ANY decal, even if only to keep it from being damaged by handling.

Oh I varnish any surface where I put decals and varnish over as well. But apparently you need to spray varnish your decal SHEET once you print them, inkjet printed ones anyway.


Thanks for the advice guys. I have a laser printer, ordered both clear and white decal papers, will let you know how it goes!

Piggybacking on this post because I worked as a printer technician for several years- it wasn’t clear if you were talking about inkjet or laser, but you’d only have to wait for drying on an inkjet style print. Laser printers work by melting (fusing -hence the part that regularly goes out called the Fuser) tiny plastic particles to the paper, so as long as the paper’s warm when it comes out, it will be “dry”. If it’s not, it’ll smudge and no amount of varnish will keep it in place.

I feel like the problem is going to be related to reserves or paying once for multiple instances of the same unit.

Very curious for more info, though.

Alright so I think I've settled on making an Iron Warriors army.

So with the 40 marines from the box I'm thinking 20 should be tactical squads with bolters and a support squad of rocket launchers but after that I'm unsure. I read a suggestion for auto cannon which could lead those units being iron havocs if those are any good.

Iron Havocs are pretty solid (they get the ability to pick which targets the wounds go to on certain rolls so you can wipe out squad leaders) and I think splitting your dudes as two squads of 10 Tacticals (potentially look at getting some Rhinos for them to ride around in) and then saving the other 20 to use as Iron Havocs is a solid play. I think with the way the rules are now you probably want to run the Iron Havocs with Autocannons or Lascannons and handily the MKVI Heavy Weapon upgrade box with the Lascannons also has the Autocannons in it (but isn't out yet)

If you want missiles I'd suggest looking at the Tyrant Siege Terminators instead since 5 of those will put out the same volume of fire as 10 Iron Havocs with Missiles for a similar price on a significantly more durable frame. You can buy them from ForgeWorld but if you don't want to deal with resin what I've seen people do is convert them using the Havoc Launchers from the new vehicle upgrade sprue which should be plentiful on ebay.

In terms of the terminators you can kit them out as a normal squad but the Iron Warriors also have a special unit called a Dominator Cohort (from the exemplary battles PDF) you could use instead. They're a little more expensive than regular terminators (because they all have chainfists or thunder hammers along with weapon skill 5) so they're a lot more punchy against other normal terminators and are a bodyguard (meaning they can issue and accept challenges) and would pair nicely with your Praetor to roll around and fight stuff in the Spartan.

Speaking of characters, for Iron Warriors I'd probably set the two in the box up as a Praetor (kitbashed to a Warsmith if you can get a Techmarine backpack from somewhere) and a Siege Breaker (the big absolute unit of a Praetor looks fantastic for this, particularly if you can find a Thunder Hammer head and stick it on the end of the axe haft).

Lastly you can do basically whatever with the Dread. Iron Warriors have their unique Shrapnel Bolt Cannon upgrade for the heavy bolter which means you can hose down a squad with pinning attacks from range. Iron Warriors have +1S against Vehicles/Dreads/etc so the Autocannon and Lascannon are extremely scary in the same way that they are on the Iron Havocs. Both the Fist variants are solid with the regular power fist being great against big multi-wound targets (like other Dreads) and the Chainfist being able to instant death T5 stuff in addition to absolutely shredding vehicles.

It'll be interesting to see if GW releases a plastic heavy weapon upgrade kit for Cataphractii Terminators because I noticed that a lot of the Legion specific versions have extra options now. Just about every Cataphractii squad can take Reaper Autocannons but the box only has a heavy flamer, Dominators can take Multi-meltas and Lernaeans can take Volkite Culverins (plus a bunch more I can't think of right now).
