If 2.0 works the same way as 1.0 did, you're going to need either Lasrifle Sections or Storm Sections to field a list no matter what. They were your only compulsory troop options (flamer sections had Support Squad). 1.0 had those as 20-man lasrifle sections and 10-man storm sections, so you're looking at a lot of bodies there to work with already, which may fit "paint until they get rules" depending on how fast you are. Russes and Malcadors were the bulk of the armored options - we already know roughly what Malcadors look like ruleswise (though not their special variants), we don't know about Russes but the general changes to blast weapons and high AP don't leave me incredibly reassured. The Basilisk/Medusa are even less reassuring based on how they got massacred for Legions. Pick up a pair of lasrifle sections & a Malcador to have a minimum viable army when the rules drop, I guess? Nobody knows when that's going to be. It was a pretty bare bones army list so there's not a ton to really recommend from.

SA is the one army where you will be dropping fat wads of cash though. IIRC, Lasrifle Section were basically €1/point.

Is there some sort of prohibition at major tournaments regarding kitbashing these days, even with 100% GW products? I feel like I already asked that in a thread since getting back into the hobby, but surely the answer is to bulk out the SA with some Astra Militarum?

Do you think beaky destroyers would look strange and what would be a good jump pack bit to hunt down for them? I don't want them to look too Raven Guard (they'd be for Dark Angels).

Kills me how hard most of the third parties with any quality whatsoever are moving to "let me only sell you an stl for the 3D printer you don't have" while the few sellers still sending the physical bits gouge like crazy for them. (Looking at every seller who I've tried to figure out a nemesis bolter solution from - evidently inflation is hitting bits sellers at 100% or more between ~2019 and now, considering how absurdly priced it all is. Even from countries where exchange rates would nominally make it a lot cheaper. Sure wasn't "pay as much as or more than the cost of the entire kit you're adding this single pair of weapons to" before. That's without even mentioning the several places where I need bits that simply aren't being made by anyone, anywhere, except FW and those stealing their kits.) I have seen those stls for auxilia before and I do think they did a pretty great job, though. The passenger and psyker stls are nice touches (guessing the latter is more for IMC) for extra flavor. Edit for actual thread content: I'm still working through my AoD box, and debating just putting together an artificer armor Warsmith after all instead of holding out for after I finish the box and can buy new kits again. The main issue being I plan on embedding them with a unit of Dominators, which have Inexorable that the Praetor bafflingly breaks, along with Heavy which is a solvable but lovely problem. How much does losing Inexorable on terminators actually affect their performance? Everything except a command squad that's worth sticking an AA Praetor into has it, AA Praetor breaks it... And that's even setting aside the issue of "Lyssatra warlord trait wants one of two or three specific units that are both Heavy and absolute back line only, complicating list building further", but I can always make warlord shenanigans happen.

If you want to play anything except marines, I would encourage you to hold out for their rules to drop. Besides possibly mechanicum, its hard to know how these factions will play and be balanced given the major nerfs to the things that made them viable in 1.0.

Are any events going to get anal if I bring a praetor who's model doesn't have the specific weapons I give him? This is my first time kitbashing and I'm currently trying to modify the praetor with sword and volkite and I don't have the bits/ideas to replace the Volkite arm, but I might not run him with that specific weapon when I make my list.

Wargames Atlantic also has a gazillion future soldiers in plastic. They even have part of the old Eisenkern line, though nowadays you may want alternate heads since the ones in the kit are heavily influenced by WWII Germans and you may not want to be that guy. I'd say that in its coolest form, 30k is probably the most friendly toward kitbashing and third-party kits, especially for Auxilia, Militia, and Daemons. The galaxy is a big places and there's zillions of regional and local patterns of equipment that broadly match the equipment presented in rules entries.

Houston, we have Iron Warriors. Crossposting from mini painting now that my first couple guys are done.quote:sorry for the poor image quality, my phone camera is damaged and Samsung decided "damaged camera during the warranty period" wasn't a warranty claim, so the lenses are out of focus. I did my best to manually focus for the most details.

Are these loyalist Iron Warriors? They're really clean and crisp, which is honestly something I've never seen before. Looks great either way!

moths posted:Are these loyalist Iron Warriors? They're really clean and crisp, which is honestly something I've never seen before. Yup. Inspired by Dantioch's guys to a degree - garrison company ignorant of the outbreak of the Heresy, and given how poo poo of a father Perturabo was, not inclined to follow him into damnation. Painted the red right hand as a loyalty mark to Secundus (still debating what exactly its significance should be in terms of fealty, but we'll get there), doing the meat-grinder fighting where necessary. They're mostly clean because I'm out of the "game" for painting for a long while now - there's a few places I tried to do wear at (the melted shoulder plate, the melta barrel, couple other things) but it just ended up looking messy and poorly painted instead. Figured getting it done clean well is better than "gritty" done poorly. They need another round of varnish that I'll do later today, you can see in the dead center of the chest where the tactical sergeant's paint already chipped down to bare plastic during assembly. Other than that they're basically good to go, and once I have a replacement for the drill bit that snapped in half today, I'll pin the rest of a 10-man squad to work through. I have one Tactical and the vexilla bearer on pins already, but the tactical got hosed up during priming and the vexilla bearer just has one color basecoated. Had to wrap up something so I wasn't in a total morale slump. Still need to figure out what to do for the Warsmith - I have the bits necessary for an artificer armor one, but it's such a poor fit, especially for IW...

I enjoyed the fluff about both Dantioch and Kyr Vhalen and I'm probably going to end up collecting traitor Death Guard at some point as well so I figured why not do something a bit different and run them as loyalists. I'm also hoping I can paint up a Knight Dominus as a Legio Gryphonicus Vassal and run that as a LoW in larger games once the Liber Mechanicum comes out since Iron Warriors were big on hanging out with the Mechanicum and Titan Legions. Probably not going to be great in terms of gameplay but who cares, giant robot.

For better or worse "loyalist IW" is a meme, but it's also one supported by fluff, so who cares what people think. One of the most common loyalty flips, but also one that's perfectly reasonable. Now when I run into someone who runs traitor Ultramarines, then I'll have found a unicorn...

Some wip Iron warriors I completed a 20 man tactical with a few different leaders as options, I need to make up some boarding shield melta gunners and lascutters as options for them too, The squad is splittable into two 10's via different coloured plants on the bases, I am trying to colour code the basing material. Does anyone know if you can still buy lascutters?

Given the scale of the heresy and how big a dick Gulliman was, its probably not a stretch to imagine some of his dudes went traitor. Especially the ones from the redacted legions. They have a traitor ROW now so its all canon baaybe

Yeah, it's nice to have the extra flavor depth of loyal/traitor options where they didn't exist before. (and then there's us IW with three unaligned traits, only one of which you'd ever take, but hey!) I know the exemplary battle sheets exist and are still getting us new units, wasn't sure if one snuck in a new rite.
