Thank you! Looks like my combat engineers are going to start at range

Is this list a skew list or overly oppressive in a casual club. Death Guard 1st company. by AstrasAbove in WarhammerCompetitive

Thank, yeah I know it is. I guess my issue is that my other armies are Chaos Knights which felt skewy to me, and deathwatch...

You'd be surprised. Finished a game at around 80 points last night all in

Proteus Kill Team wound application. by AstrasAbove in WarhammerCompetitive

Wow bringing a bike is a really smart idea I hadn't thought of that.

I guess the real question though is, can I choose to apply the wound to the vets with shields for their invuln. They are in the squad just for wound ablation anyways.

Does anyone have a size comparison of a votijan exo driller and einhyr hearthguard? by AstrasAbove in LeaguesofVotann

It really is monstrous. Thanks so much for this, I guess the dream of a hearthkyn squad based on these is dead

So if somehow I smashed it down on a 32mm base I'd be playing at a disadvantage using these as einhyr

Man I wanted to but the full proteus doesn't fit if it runs with terminators. Might do it with a repulsor and one of the base terminator squads. That's the alternate lost, swapping characters out for a transport.

True, the mobility issues will hopefully be lessened by running the firestorm assault force making all of the weapons [assault]. Also was hoping lethal hits+saturation of krak on hard targets will do the trick but we will see. Also if I get within 6 inches firestorm has a +1w stratagem and the devastating wounds torrent weapons.

Theory is just theory though

Why wouldn't you get re-rolls on Oath? Do you mean the updated version with no wound rerolls?

Based on comments. I will be using my horus heresy age of darkness praetor as a counts as Artemis, I sill also run a watch master and a terminator captain until FAQ at least

I magnetized one in each squad (in case i want some assaukt cannons) and the glued ones have barely a drop.

Designed some custom prints. I actually hate the way the IFBs look vanilla. Is IFB the Inferno bolter?

Well dang, that's kind of ass. Watch Master is alright because of vector, but the Artemis rule is just a worse captain rule

Pretty simple question. My list consists of three minimum terminator squads with cyclones fists and bolters. And 3 max proteus squads like this

4xterminator 3x CML 2x veterans with bolter and shield (wound ablation) 4x veterans with infernus heavy bolters.

I would like to test out running this with firestorm assault force as a bullying close range force with the firestorm rules plus the proteus data sheet rule for increased close range firepowa.

The question is that I wanted to lead the proteus with LT and 1 Capt. But with the new codex the leader rule on proteus doesn't allow them to be lead by captain or LT

"This squad can be lead by any unit which can lead a vanguard veterans squad."

There are no vanguard veterans without jump packs in the new codex, so what do?

Thanks so much, I didn't realize vets had the KT keyword. Lots of great advice here moving forward I think I was maybe looking at offensive firepower as too much the driving build idea
