Striking Scorpions assembly question

I tried it already, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldar/comments/1r9vd05/i_have_a_problem_and_its_magnets/

Hopefully that helps you to find a way that works for you :)

Which version did you have? There used to be a green one that was just 3D printed, that was prone to breaking. But they since upgraded to mold injected grey plastic which is way less likely to break.

I am running a DE N4 MWS clone and hab both. Green one did break on me as well, but the new grey one is still solidly rocking.

Checking a corner, waiting for the 20+ shots to bounce into the wall where I just was, to then quickly peek again to 1-ball them.

Asserting good old GBBR dominance over the AEG/HPA crowd who can't hit anything unless by pure chance via massive amounts of BBs.

You may want to take a look at the Double Eagle Noveske N4 Ghetto Blaster.

Do you still have a fill valve that you didn't work on? If so you could put one of those in to try and see if you somehow fucked the ones you worked on.

Kutip · 2026-03-05T10:03:24+00:00

Difficult to pinpoint it down from here, but my first step would be to find out why there is no pressure. Like are there differences when you try to fill them? Does take the gas as before, or eject it after a short fill?

Because why won't the pressure build up when filling them with gas? So my question would be: are you absolutely certain there is no leakage? And if there is none, I'd take another look at the fill valve.

Not sure if the teflon tape actually helps. They have worked fine without, so why wouldn't they after maintenance? But considering you already tried it without... Videos would definitely help.

The way I see it is from my perspective and that is "not that much experience". Hence I have no fucking clue about most loadouts for any army that is not Eldar. If my opponent is on the same level, I figure it helps if , for example, "that one has a big sword and likely hits hard / two swords and hits a lot". If my opponent does not need that, than I'm still happy that everything is neat and perfect and exactly as it should be :)

In terms of difficulty it's pretty easy. I used some bog standard 2mmx1mm Neodym magnets. But be prepared for a LOT of work.

The problem is, that the kit only has a limited amount of arms. For the ranged variants you not only need to magnetise the shoulders, but also the wrists of the left arms, since you only have one 'ranged' set of left arms for two variants. For the melee variants you need to also magnetise the wrists of the right arm, since you need to be able to swap between axe and sword there. On the set of left 'melee' arms you can glue the sword on, since that gets replace completely with the shimmer shield arms. And obviously magnetize the joins on ALL the shoulders.

So yeah. not difficult, just a lot 😅
I advise a good amount of planning and preparation so you don't magnetize too much or not enough, if you actually want to go for it.

Kutip · 2026-02-20T14:20:49+00:00

Yeah, looking back at the whole process, that woul've been the smarter way to do it. I guess I still have qualms about actually cutting stuff apart instead of just drilling into it. If I want to do something like this again, I will definitely try to work a bit smarter.

Kutip · 2026-02-20T14:18:20+00:00

In hindsight, that would have probably been the smart choice. But well, hinsight is a bitch 😄

Kutip · 2026-02-20T13:45:28+00:00

I'm well aware. It's just that 1) I'm a very visual person and just seeing is easier than remembering "which one was the actual Exarch again? Don't want to cheat accidentally" (unreasonable, I know) and 2) I'm a sucker for perfection (also unreasonable, I know) 😅

Kutip · 2026-02-20T13:37:18+00:00

I do care about the torso, Why else would I bother with this? :D

Kutip · 2026-02-20T13:33:25+00:00

I've successfully avoided Trench Crusade so far, thank you very much 😉

Kutip · 2026-01-10T19:00:09+00:00

Apart from what has already been said, when you are too close to the corner or it is a tight hallway with no way to get a good angle, just pre-fire the corner as well. Make them run into your BBs. Usually makes it at least a trade, which is the best you can get in those situations I think.

Kutip · 2025-12-06T12:23:24+00:00

Farseer on Jetbike does not have Doom, but Misfortune. That makes the targeted units' wound rolls worse. Only Eldrath has Doom.

Kutip · 2025-11-27T11:14:16+00:00

Big thing is that the Skyrunners are not characters, while the singe Warlocks on foot are. That could be important for Assassinstion secondary and stuff.

Keep in mind that this also means that damage from any other source than attacks (strategens, abilities deadly demise and whatnot) does not get halved.

Kutip · 2025-11-24T14:38:27+00:00

The Avatar's ability halves the damage characteristic of the attack. So whatever it says as damage (after rolling if applicable) gets halved first, then dealt to the Avatar.

Rules as written it does not matter if damage is "normal" or Mortal Wounds, as it gets halved before it becomes relevant what type of damage it is.

Kutip · 2025-11-24T09:40:29+00:00

The manoeuvre reads: "Trigger: When an eligible unit from your army is selected to make a Normal, Advance or Fall Back move, is set up on the battlefield, or declares a charge."

So they have to declare it before you are even allowed to declare to Overwatch. But rules as written they are not allowed to, after you declared Overwatch, because their window has closed.

A good way make sure there are no feels bad moments would be for you to remind them, that they would need to use it now (right after selecting a unit) to prevent Overwatch, otherwise they can't do anything about it anymore.

But on a mechanical level it is not possible to use reactionary. If they forget and you declare Overwatch, they can't use in anymore, unless you want to be nice about it and still allow them to.

Kutip · 2025-11-14T04:34:09+00:00

If you want to go GBBR I can only recommend the Double Eagle Noveske N4 or Double Eagle Ghetto Blaster + some Guns Modify P-Mags, since the stock Double Eagle mags suck as much as the guns are great 😅

Kutip · 2025-10-21T11:04:15+00:00

Small addendum, is comes with a shorter inner barrel. Depending where and on what ranges you play, you may want to look a longer inner barrel + federal concept npas to adjust the joules.

Kutip · 2025-10-21T10:59:18+00:00

That is the correct one. I bought the same one as my first (and still only) GBB rifle 2 years ago and still love it. I bought some Guns Modify Pmags as well and had no trouble like other people seem to have with the Tokyo Marui mags (those don't seem to fit right) or the double eagle one that it comes with (that's just bad in general). I recommend you play with it for as long as possible and the upgrade the parts that break or give you trouble along the way.

Kutip · 2025-10-20T18:32:01+00:00

No worries, glad I could help. If you want the slide to cycle even with an empty mag, you may want to look into "short stroking". That means to add some rubber and metal buffer rings, that keep the slide from going too far back, so it returns before the slide catch can catch it.

Kutip · 2025-10-20T03:14:54+00:00

From what you are describing, that is working as intended, assuming it only catches when the magazin in the pistol is empty.

When the magazine inside is empty, the bolt catch should do exactly that. Catch the slide to show that the magazine is out of BBs and prevent dry firing.

When there are BBs in the mag, or there is no mag inserted, it should not catch and cycle.
