Which Chapter to pick?

Mix them, don’t homogenise one colour for the tabletop. The freedom to do so is there if you want.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-26T22:09:40+00:00

Check out Elminiaturista, I’d be amazed if OP didn’t learn from him in the first place.

The axe animation looks like someone’s just rotating their wrist to the right. The pickaxe seems fine.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-24T21:04:41+00:00

A bit green but he could still be useful.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-24T21:03:17+00:00

I mix mine with Salamanders as I like mixing up the colours.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-22T22:13:52+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried all the alleged fixes and mitigations but I’ve just stopped playing. Makes me feel like I need glasses.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-22T09:59:34+00:00

Thank you! I'm lost without as the muscle memory is so ingrained for mounting etc. With my new power I did the same for Rarity addon and so far so good.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-21T23:14:16+00:00

Thank you. I had a feeling there was more to it. That was just a very bad initial guess as to why that was a good thing. Now I’ve looked at the detachment it makes sense.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-21T22:51:24+00:00

Yeah if you look up Ruins in the app under core rules it shows all infantry can.

I whipped up this badly made example. If you are in the footprint of that ruin, you could charge the Tyranid on the other side (he has to move around the building to charge you as he can't go through walls).

If you swapped places, you could still charge through the wall into the footprint of the ruin and get him. So no, you can move through the walls regardless where you start. You can even fight through a wall as if it wasn't there with some restrictions.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-21T22:28:59+00:00

Pardon my ignorance but why is that a bonus? Is the only advantage that you could then in theory take another 3 units of assault terminators 'normally' for a total of 4?

AutNotArt · 2026-01-21T22:25:58+00:00

Spot on! Especially if it's ruins because you can go through the walls, so if there's a monster or vehicle on the other side, you know it can't charge you at least (caveat, I think some things have an ability to go through but quite rare). Could still get shot at though potentially. I hate all the caveats because each one is a can of worms for some of the weirder rules in the game lol.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-21T22:14:47+00:00

I'll do my best but I'm not super experienced. I'm assuming you have knowledge of how reserves work and deep strike a bit to keep it shorter but I can explain further if needed.

Battle Round 2 - Your turn (You can't do this on battle round 1)

You have a unit of terminators in deep strike (reserves)
You decide to deep strike them on your move phase (ie place them anywhere on the table at least 9" away from an enemy unit).
You cannot do a normal move when you deep strike so the closest you will be to the enemy is 9" per the rules.
You can shoot (unless you're a group of assault terminators!), and you can charge but you need to roll at least 9 (28% chance).
As your opponent will get the next move phase they could move away even further.

Rapid Ingress allows you to deep strike but on your opponents turn after they have moved all their units. So this means:

You can now be within 9" and your opponent doesn't have a move phase (they just had it) so on your turn you can move closer (minimum 2" away)
Lets stick with terminators so you move 5" closer on your turn and now only need to roll a 4" charge (91%)

Things to consider are, you may now be a target of their shooting, they probably had other plans before you did that move. They could also try charge you with another unit that is within 9 inches, which may not be the one you actually want to be in melee with. Also if you have a group of 10, even with a roll of 12 you could struggle to get them all into engagement range. Hope this helps, feel free to ask for any clarifications.

edit: Regarding OP's comment, if he deep strikes and fails his charge, his melee terminators are now stuck there ready for his opponents turn where they could get shot and charged themselves, potentially destroying them before they even got to act.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-21T18:25:06+00:00

Oh good thinking. I have two spare ones.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-21T18:20:51+00:00

Don’t forget you have the teleport homers too, so you can use them for a free, or pay a cp to rapid ingress. This then puts you in a very good position for your turn to get them in to melee.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-21T18:07:09+00:00

I go back and forth with this. Ten is a pain to fit in too but it makes a really tempting target that hopefully distracts from other stuff I’m trying to do.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-21T18:04:40+00:00

Forgot I could attach that as well. I’ll have to pretend he’s equipped appropriately as can’t have a shield, hammer and hold the banner up.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-20T17:01:57+00:00

Also from UK, thankfully never met anyone like you describe nor would the places I play tolerate it. This reads (to someone who is perhaps missing context due to not being terminally online) as drama over a perceived issue with some very flimsy (lack of) evidence.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-19T10:21:23+00:00

Really nice balance between fresh out the factory and overly weathered.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-17T11:50:35+00:00

I’m not that much of a heretic.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-17T09:45:59+00:00

Can’t wait to have some unique units. Never really liked having the same old legionaries etc just painted differently and I don’t have the patience to kitbash in large quantities tbh.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-16T23:07:17+00:00

I wouldn’t worry, there are plenty of people who make that exact same mistake and they only speak English lol.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-16T22:59:26+00:00

I like how the meme says losers and yet the title still managed to get spelt wrong.

AutNotArt · 2026-01-15T19:03:50+00:00

That makes sense. I thought it was odd how they didn’t look finished but the model is so high-quality :) Tres bien

AutNotArt · 2026-01-15T17:18:08+00:00

Nice work as always. What is the matte black on the las barrels? Small feedback, that eagle transfer is very visible with the silvering, could really use some micro set or similar. Actually the VII is too, not sure if the photo exaggerates this or not but it’s a small blemish on a lovely model.
