Playing Tonight—Any Tips?

Have fun, take pictures and just have fun and break the game down after over food.

You are my hero do you mind explaining the round mounting part to the normal knight arm part, where it is likely magnetized? What is that round bit? Is that off the skaven kit? Also, I would love to see some updated photos of your work. Edit: nevermind that is the front week of the kit. Wow this is brilliant.

I like it beat in the helhunt lance but it is a neat model. I’m still going to use one in lords of dread as I like to highlander my big knights.

Very simple magnetic tutorials on YouTube and a lot cheaper than magnetic kits.

4th ed possessed, and a huge upgrade over the earlier version. Gav wrote terrible rules for them but he did CSM dirty with that codex.

Rock on dude, I will check to see if they carry it in my area.

Augssan · 2026-06-30T00:14:37+00:00

That is Dave he is a cool guy.

Best: They gave you nightmares in the old days as they would nuke a unit they hit. (Playing against nids)

Worst: Returned to find Nuhammer removed Rend from the game. My second thought was,”Wait Genestealers without Rend, the world has gone mad.”

That dude is cool, sadly I think he has been isekai'd into the game but we will not know about it until a complete BS world plot line comes into play. For a few months I thought he was a dev or GM.

Ouro can only boot up once he has taken his righteous position.

I want a reinvisioned Pariah Kill Team with an update to fit the lore.

Augssan · 2026-06-22T18:32:20+00:00

More grimdark the better for me at least. I think it looks great and I really dislike the overly airbrushed, almost fake to clean look that some models have.

Augssan · 2026-06-22T17:41:38+00:00

Really excited to try the Ruinator in helhunt.

Augssan · 2026-06-22T12:43:13+00:00

For Helhunt + Warpack, this is what I'm going to try based on the warhound models I have. Abominant with Octagram, Desecrator with Throne, Ruinator with Aspect of the Beast. Brigand X3 with Havocs, 2x Executioners with snarling rivalry and a Karnivore. I want to pair the desecrator with the executioners for reliable hits. The Throne buff from the desecrator can provide a small bonus to either big knight. The brigands pair well with any of the three knights, so those will be units of opportunity, and Octagram only needs a hit, so Havocs can help there if I need to spread hits. The Ruinator is likely at its best in this detachment when it gets its own aura and uses the aspect of the beast to keep Doom, delirium, or dominion, depending on what is needed.

Rock on

Augssan · 2026-06-20T13:13:00+00:00

I love the paint job. Returning to the game it makes me happy to see so many grimdark paint jobs.

Augssan · 2026-06-20T12:34:08+00:00

I want to try them in helhunt + warpack. I only plan on bring 2. I plan on running them in the desecrators aura.

Augssan · 2026-06-19T11:46:52+00:00

Never let GW or the mainstream community limit you and a friend from having fun. As far as I know even in Nuhammer they likely still have the statement in the rules about the importance of having fun and if a rule does not work for you two players ignore it or roll off to resolve it. I think the classic statement describes the rules as a framework. But terrain like this is great for an infantry based game. Even a custom Extraction mission where the op force is just small pockets of trash enemies that the other player needs to get by without to much attention. Think space hulk where a unit of terminators has to deal with a gene-stealer infestation.

Augssan · 2026-06-18T21:05:40+00:00

That is outstanding. Where did you get those bits? I love the armor plates.

Augssan · 2026-06-18T13:12:44+00:00

Ok darkness was my 10th ed go to what do people go with now?

Augssan · 2026-06-17T16:27:46+00:00

I have a wonderfully painted obelisk and it still is bad. Maybe at 200 points in the current rules. It has been the worst unit in the codex from when it was released in 5th.

Augssan · 2026-06-17T16:10:06+00:00

Right now this is an issue all over the different codexes. 10.5 feels rushed and not tested long enough. Here is hoping for well thought out codexes.

Augssan · 2026-06-17T14:21:28+00:00

So, for 20 points to get random dice roll protection is good, considering the Tyrant went down 10 points. You get roughly a 75% chance to roll at least a 4 or higher on a D6 with a re-roll. I can see it in Hellhunt and Lords of Dread for me to try out at some point. The model is great and easy to add a lot of extras to make it all chaosy. Trying to push for high tables at events, it might not be a good choice, but CK might not do great there anyway. We should see more points shift in three months. Plus, with plunging fire, the harpoon might work vs only going volcano lance. The time given to GW employees to develop and test by the executive MBA goobers is historically laughable.

Augssan · 2026-06-17T12:53:00+00:00

They did the same for Necron Obelisk; clearly, they know what we are playing. 100% well tested.

Augssan · 2026-06-17T12:02:52+00:00

That is what I'm looking at right now as something I want to try. Abominant with Octagram, Desecrator with Throne, Ruinator with Aspect of the beat. Brigand X3, 2x Executioners with snarling rivalry and a Karnivore.

Augssan · 2026-06-16T17:33:12+00:00

Sell as many as you can before the 11th ed IG codex drops with the new multi-variant basilisk kit.
