On the subject of Auxilia, I picked up two squads of Ratlings today. Looking forward to picking off some characters with my war hobbits.

So your other stuff can be Cadian or Valhallan or whatever, and your Scions stay MT, and everyone is happy. MT don't get their OWN doctrine unless they are in a pure MT detachment, but that's all they lose. I'll just take tanks in a spearhead then.

Nothing some moldable thermoplastic and epoxy putty can't fix. The stuff actually works pretty good. I initially used the hard thermoplastic which is more common and does pretty good for objects without undercuts like GW plastics. In one thread someone mentioned the flexible variety (CMoN sells it as Instant Mold or it's also called Blue Stuff) so picked some up and found it useful as well. Details can come out a little mushier so there's some trial and error but it's easier to get the item out. You can also cut the flexible kind quite readily with a hobby knife which makes it simple to do one piece or turn into two piece molds. I've used a mix of green stuff and brown stuff to fill out the plasma gun roster of my vanguards and do some other various part clones for conversion work.

  The cloud of smoke and flies took about three times as long to paint as the rest of the model.

I only asked about Valkyries because I'm scouring eBay now for Kasrkin & a Valkyrie as a second detachment to my all-Primaris as a way to get Anti-Tank without plopping for a Repulsor.

Either way, the cloud looks great. Not looking forward to painting that on my Typhus

I know people were talking about the youtube guy who won that warhammer world event. He put up a video where he and his friend talk about their lists and their games. I timestamped it about half way where he finally starts talking about the 5 games but Im sure Uroboros will like to watch the whole thing to hear the guy explain why Ultramarines are the best SM legion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-UT5yv7bWA&t=2047s

So what's the most cost effective way to kitbash twenty Eversors? I'm thinking a box of Marauders with Sigmarine heads, Catachan daggers, and tricked out ork pistols.

The fact it's pretty good on the field (dump 10 guys with 4 Meltas 9" from a target they can't be counterassaulted easily on, and the Valk still putzes about being a Valk) is just cherry on the cake.

I keep wondering about the Carbine option - Fine, you lose 1A, but if you don't try to use them as an Assault unit, just a unit that prefers to do the charging than being charged, they're still Primaris with Storm Bolters and Heavy Bolt Pistols.

I've tried really hard to make carbine Reivers work but they still underperform pretty heavily for me. The lack of AP on the carbines really hurts, and they lack the raw number of shots that an actual stormbolter has to make up the difference. If they were cheaper they might be usable but as it is there's nothing they can do that I can't do better with jump infantry.

These are magnificent. Twenty Eversor assassins on the same battlefield is fluff as hell. I can imagine an inquisitional acolyte clicking SUBMIT REQUEST... then panicking when the antiquated system freezes. He'd click it 19 more times, then freeze in horror the when the confirmation screen says 20 boxed Eversor have been deployed.

Normal marines are too expensive to see play, primaris marines (except aggressors, sort of) are right out.

That's exactly why I want to do the Vendettas, which have the same troop capacity as the Valkyrie but also the benefits of lascannon covering fire. Make everything black with white Inquisition livery and use an Inquisitor model for the commander. The only question is if I went Stormtroopers then why wouldn't I just have them drop in/teleport instead?

If you disembark normally, instead of by grav chute, your hotshot lasguns could be in rapid fire range.

Spent last night painting up a unit of plaguebearers and having a blast. Painting these guys up is way better than endless space marines. Going by the citadel paint app for skin plus Duncan for their swords, I'll post some pictures once I've got some highlights on them
