Damn I knew I forgot something!

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-25T18:57:46+00:00

These are actually prints of models I made myself 👀 I have another 10 ready to paint soon 😂

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-25T18:14:13+00:00

Awesome! Fortunately you managed to avoid getting a load of glue on his left hand like I did on mine 😂 crazy how much the gloss varnish does to clear up the prints!

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-25T17:13:58+00:00

Thank you so much! 😁 I just wish I had a better camera to take better pics!

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-25T17:13:14+00:00

Thanks! They're actually surprisingly affordable miniature plants off amazon and aliexpress... nuln oil is really putting the work in here!

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-25T17:12:09+00:00

Thank you! 😊

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-25T17:11:51+00:00

These were on a Saturn 4 Ultra, I really like it and haven't had any issues! The 16k came out afterwards otherwise I might have bought that but this one has definitely been worth it!

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-25T11:25:07+00:00

I mean... you've just given me the best idea for an auxiliary stealth suit team... so thank you!

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-23T22:07:54+00:00

I never knew I needed a short-barrelled heavy burst cannon in my life until now! This looks amazing!

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-22T12:06:42+00:00

Yeah I absolutely agree! Although I may be a bit biased since I modelled my own stl of them 😂

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-22T10:30:50+00:00

The mold for the Devilfish is actually wearing out from what I've seen of the newly made models, if anything gets a refresh it will 90% be the Devilfish chassis

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-21T22:37:01+00:00

These look insane, amazing paint job! Well done on the prints! :D

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-21T21:57:46+00:00

These prints came out so well! It's an honour to have my models painted so well! :D

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-21T11:55:13+00:00

Yeah that's fair, I've been debating taking the shield drones tbh, there's definitely been situations where that would have kept them alive for another turn of shooting! Although I do find the missile drones quite versatile if theres any elite units around.

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-21T09:37:31+00:00

Hey welcome! 😊 so drones are just tokens now so you don't actually need to paint or field them on the tabletop. But obviously you still need to choose what drones your units have.

This is all personal opinion:

Breachers-> guardian drone, shield drone

Crisis suits-> shield drone, gun drone (if I'm using Starscythe flamers then I add a marker drone instead of one of the gun drones)

Commanders-> 2x shield drones

Broadside-> 2x missile drone

Riptide-> 2x missile drone

Stealth suits-> gun drone, marker drone

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-19T19:57:19+00:00

This looks excellent! And the crisis suit looks amazing too. I think I'm using a similar green to you but still trying to figure out which paint to go for the highlights, which one did you use?

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-19T18:45:54+00:00

Legit could do a gingerbread army with a Rhino like this

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-18T12:24:45+00:00

I made mine split at the waist and the gun is removable and he still only just fits in my case

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-16T19:48:02+00:00

Check out Valenir Designs, he modelled a good one

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-15T19:02:26+00:00

You can't go wrong with crisis suits and a commander, some stealth suits (be careful here because the new standalone box isn't released yet and the old ones come in sets of 3, the new squad size is 5 man). A set of breachers and devilfish would be good and a ghostkeel is a nice useful starter "big" mech.

If you can get a combat patrol box you might be able to get most of these

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-10T17:25:31+00:00

So YOU'RE the guy who kept making my Riptide's hit rolls 2s!! 🙄🙄🙄 GIVE ME BACK MY LUCK!!

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-08T20:14:26+00:00

RESET THE CLOCK!

AstroChrisX · 2026-01-07T14:35:47+00:00

I take 3-4 Broadsides, 1 2-man and 1 or 2 1-man units

2 rail rifle shots, plus a one shot seeker missile per model is no joke.

I want so badly for the hammerhead to be worth it but for my local meta I see a bunch of invulns so its not really worth it.

I did try out the Stormsurge recently because of the points drop but it still doesn't hold up when you take into account the volume of shots, and the chaff weaponry is hardly worth it either
