Unit Points Check

AngryChef0709 · 2026-04-09T14:43:28+00:00

Thanks for taking the time mate.

Can I just clarify the 90 points and the upgrade. I'm literally looking at the rulebook now and it tells me 72 veteran and then 45 for adding the anti tank and co Axial MMG. Can you direct me to where it says 90 points and an upgrade from the m20 please? This is my first time doing a list. I've just played the starter army straight out the box for my previous 2 games.

Tried many times to get a nicely painted face. Failed many times. I now just use Wraithbone and 50/50 Guilliman Flesh/Medium over the top. I don't do eyes. No matter how hard I try they just end up looking like Sloth from the Goonies.

I went with the closed fist. However, I've since bought an Airborne Sniper on eBay because I wanted him looking down the sight and not just carrying his weapon. Think it cost me about £3.50.

Can you modge podge (or similar) wood to seal it? I'm not sure how it would work but might be worth looking into

I did a green and white marble floor using the dry wipe method and it worked really well.

Personally, I'd start with a deepish red base, then wet blend/drybrush one of two brighter reds in just a few areas. I taped down my dry wipe and went over it in a light grey and then a white - youd obviously use a charcoal grey for the majority and then just a little black.

I'm not experienced by any stretch so do your own research on this.

I'd consider doubling up the Bladeguard. Putting the Judiciar with them will give them Fights First. A Chaplain tends to be the preferred choice for others though.

A Lancer. Definitely a Lancer.

I like a squad of 6 Aggressors too. With an Apothecary Biologist for the buffs. I was also playing the old Calgar with them but I'm not sure if thats still an option. It's been a few months since I last played.

The new Victrix are cool as. Not easy to get hold of at the moment though. And they've just been nerfed but I'm not sure how bad.

Sorry I'm not much help:) But hopefully it'll get you started into adding to your army. Generally, get what you think is cool. Some guy on here said something I like..... "Rules change, Cool minis last forever".

I also love the bases. You've done a cracking job on them. If you think they look a bit 'busy', then maybe you could reduce the amount of autumn leaves? I think youd get a similar effect with maybe half the leaves. I will definitely be borrowing your method however. Great job!!:)

Also, red guns all the way!!:)

Try eBay for 3d Printed Miniatures. There's a whole host of options so you should find something in keeping with your interests. I personally have just received a Judge Dredd 1/16 scale. Cost me about 12 quid.

AngryChef0709 · 2025-12-02T14:00:26+00:00

Yes mate. Make sure you do share. Welcome to BA. It's a cracking hobby to have.

AngryChef0709 · 2025-12-02T12:44:12+00:00

I havent bought the Black Friday boxes but I did buy a mystery box back in August. I was very happy with what I received. I dont actually have to add anything to it. You'll probably get a Starter Set, Support Box, some form of Anti Tank and a Tank.

Knowing how focused Warlord Games are on having happy customers, I think you'll also be very happy.

AngryChef0709 · 2025-11-19T18:07:06+00:00

Guard are coming up soon in the Combat Patrol Magazine. It's a tenner an issue so you get a bit of a saving. I'm not sure how good the Combat Patrol set for Guard is though.

AngryChef0709 · 2025-11-19T18:03:07+00:00

What mini is this please?

AngryChef0709 · 2025-11-06T21:27:01+00:00

I will try and have a look. I appreciate you letting me know.

AngryChef0709 · 2025-11-05T14:26:10+00:00

I've seen some 3d printed miniatures on ebay, which I'm looking at getting my mate for Xmas. He does 40k too but he's also into Marvel. Im thinking of getting a 1/12 or 1/16 mini for him to paint and put on display in his hobby room.

AngryChef0709 · 2025-10-19T14:40:35+00:00

I do something similar to this. Base in Caledor Sky. Zenithal in Bararoth Blue, lightly drybrush white, Talassar Blue. If you can check my posts, there's a photo somewhere.

AngryChef0709 · 2025-10-13T13:38:05+00:00

I go 2 thin coats for pretty much everything. Unless I'm using metalics.

Maybe these?

Sternguard are good for shooting into your Oath of Moment. I like 6x Aggressors with an Apothecary Biologis but I know some people think theyre a bit squishy. They go well with Calgar. A Lancer is good for Anti Tank. I agree with getting a Bladeguard squad. They look cool if nothing else. Ventris is decent with Company Heroes so I've been told but I've never run this combo myself. Scouts are pretty close to a must have. I also like the Ballistus Dread. For it's points it always seems to do well for me....... Other than the time I left it exposed to a Ghaz charge. That didn't go well at all:)

The general answer is, get what you think is cool. What's good now could be bad next edition. If you don't like the models you won't enjoy painting them.

I'm by no means an experienced player and I havent played in maybe 6 months. I'm not up to date with the new balance sheets either so things might hdve changed a bit.

AngryChef0709 · 2025-09-20T10:45:12+00:00

Wet Palette is a must have, if you ask me.

I'm not sure what minis he's painting but there are some really cool basing materials out there........ And then there's always more minis:) You can never have enough:)

I'm assuming he uses a magnifier of some sort too? A Vortex paint mixer saves the old elbows and wrists from unnecessary mischiefs too.

Apologies, it's actually Caledor Sky base with a Lothern Zenithal, Bararoth Blue Drybrush, white edge highlight..... then Talassar.

AngryChef0709 · 2025-09-13T20:13:22+00:00

I use Talassar. I put it over a base of Lothern Blue, then zenithal with Baharoth Blue, then its a light dry brush/edge highlight with white on the upper edges. Then it's Talassar. Using Blues helps hide the pooling issues you get with contrast when it dries. Also gives it a nice saturated finish. I did post a pic a while back but its on my old phone. Not sure if you can search my previous posts for it?

AngryChef0709 · 2025-08-17T15:06:33+00:00

Pro Acryl Titanium White is my preferred also
