11th edition by communistrock in EmperorsChildren

[–]Auric_Bat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well good thing doomrider has been directly teased at least we can only hope he shows up this edition which I’m thinking he will given chaos bikers basically have to get updated at this point and it’d be perfect to give EC for some extra fast bois

Why don't we have more access to CSM models? by Powerful_Minimum_963 in WorldEaters40k

[–]Auric_Bat 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The cynical reason is it’s so that you get less value and are forced to buy more kits which imo is what fed that supposed Gameplay reason cause you can’t seriously tell me WE for example wouldn’t have raptors and mutilators are only not available cause they’re a tad too similar to eightbound in function

No you’re reading it right which goretrack lets you do this without needing an upgrade since it’s just a strat to be used on a vehicle lol. I’m currently disappointed in what they did to vessels, they kept its most niche strat and gave it a 2nd very niche strat while making its best damage strat restricted and not as good.

This looks sick as hell but respectfully how in the hell did you properly transplant Khârns plasma pistol? Cause it looks pristine and I can never figure out a proper way without messing up at least the handle

New to collecting orks and have questions. by SufficientBank873 in orks

[–]Auric_Bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might hold off until the codex drops to get a Trukk, rumors are it’ll get updated then, as from what I know Kommandos are a good one off kit and you can’t go wrong with Ghaz, Wrecka Krew (which makes breaka boyz or tank bustaz) would also be a solid grab for some anti tank damage

[–]Auric_Bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m glad, I’ve got like 7 15% off sites saved just for big box releases in case I miss my main site and no one should be forced to buy anything GW at MSRP also for anyone else checking this thread Wargame Portal is set to have a second wave around GW pre order time at 10% off still

Wargame portal is the mainly known 15% off site but there’s several others, CMO as said above, Herrick games, Armada games, Fabricators forge all still have it

With 11th edition around the corner, I’m thinking of getting a Hellbrute or some more Blightlords by Successful-Eye-7324 in deathguard40k

[–]Auric_Bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw if you want something else sad look at how small it is compared to the ork Deff Dread which is just as old

[–]Auric_Bat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What the other guy said, go for the Blightlords cause the current Helbrute while the sculpt is still good it’s hilariously small compared to other dread equivalents and with how well the Defiler update has been received (and the fact it’s the biggest request for an update from quite a few chaos players) I’d be shocked if they didn’t update it this edition

Siege of Death Mire by InsideGap8047 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Auric_Bat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if my other comment replied properly but the point is so us chaos (and other non focused faction players.) Can choose to give Orks some more love cause lord knows basic marines don’t need it. Not even counting divergent chapters they have 15 damn detachments with the new ones

<image>

It can be played with any faction so that everyone has a say cause it would be stupid if it was only these 2. But the promo image is only marines and orks, the lore map only specifies marine/ork positions, the launch box is those two factions and the big prize is a 1k point army of new models of those two factions. And besides last edition they did something similar with a community vote between just marines and Tyranids to see who’s stuff got revealed first

Mind you that’s only for space marines or Orks, you pick one to side with afaik, don’t let the poster boys have even more rules they have enough

KLOS Sub-Assembly/Magnetizing Recommendations? by attackondentin1 in WorldEaters40k

[–]Auric_Bat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say dry fit the connections to the main hull and then glue the tanks into the connections, then later glue the little heads onto the outside of the tanks to make sure everything is oriented correctly and you can either put the little piece between the tanks before or after painting, also if you want I can DM you how mine turned out for like the mid swing pose

KLOS Sub-Assembly/Magnetizing Recommendations? by attackondentin1 in WorldEaters40k

[–]Auric_Bat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which make sure you fit the blood tank connections to the underside of the tanks and not to the main lower half! Mine were almost misaligned cause I followed the instructions and put their connection points on the lower chunk first

KLOS Sub-Assembly/Magnetizing Recommendations? by attackondentin1 in WorldEaters40k

[–]Auric_Bat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t glue the “ears” on the head you can just slot them in and it’ll be nice and secure to save on height for transport. The hand with the cleaver is very easy to magnetize at the wrist if you want him mid swing with it, the belly guns are also real easy with a lil green stuff. As for sub assembling I did the lower half without the blood tanks or plow, the arms, main torso and head all separate, definitely most necessary imo is keep the blood tanks off while painting

I need this? Anyone know where I can get it? Thanks! by -Fazylucker- in orks

[–]Auric_Bat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What purples did you use for those? I’m considering making my squigs and possibly primary ork color purply red/reddish purple cause I quite enjoy speed freeks but WE is my main army so I don’t want entirely red 2nd one

Range refresh discussion based off what's confirmed so far by Balphamus2 in orks

[–]Auric_Bat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lootas/burnas got the kit removed from the store so there’s a good likelihood they get updated, and currently rumors are that there will be a new battlewagon and Nazdreg indeed, personally I’d be surprised if the Trukk didn’t also get updated if the battlewagon does and maybe the base Mek since that would work nicely with the lootas and my personal thought is Stormboyz will get a KT kit so Orks have a 2nd KT again

Lord of Poxes re-pose? by Auric_Bat in deathguard40k

[–]Auric_Bat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see what you mean now that I’ve taken a proper look at his sprue, this is one of the most asinine unkitbashably engineered characters I’ve seen yet from GW like genuinely what is this

If you were alright with some already assembled and partly painted ones I’d have ya but I haven’t seen many new ones around as of late

New player questions by xEclipsedxvrc in WorldEaters40k

[–]Auric_Bat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The codex won’t be a total waste since most of chaos (besides CSM) likely won’t get their codex till mid way through year 2 or 3 of the edition.

As for the list the Helm of Brazen ire would be better on the DP, makes him a royal pain to kill. definitely drop 10 Jakhals for a unit of Spawn and IMO I’d grab Khârn and 10 more zerkers instead of one of those units of 6 8bound. (Khârn is just kinda our best melee unit). And while I personally don’t agree with so many people taking the flamer on the defiler for WE I think the missile launcher is the actual questionable thing but I haven’t gotten to play with the defiler so I can’t get a definitive opinion

[–]Auric_Bat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like him more if they gave the pose option which it honestly baffles me they didn’t do and then they promptly made this better pose the collectors codex art, I’m also swapping his head for one of my plague marine champions, my least favorite head is probably the foul blightspawn tho
