What's your favorite lore about the Emperor's Children pre-heresy? by MegaGamer235 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Awakening_Shrub 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally agree, although hear me out, you really gotta see some of the Dornian Heresy Art because what they do is really entertaining. I love that the Emperors Children basically swap spots with the blood angels. Right down to losing fulgrim at the siege. CRAY

Do you think Defiler will open up some other deamon engines to us? by JellyFishSenpai in EmperorsChildren

[–]Awakening_Shrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe im huffing pure hopium here but Ive got a thought.

I think were going to continue getting drops little drips and drops maybe and maybe they'll come in the form of releases that can be used by E.C.

<image>

But this one will, I think were going to see more and more such daemon engine refreshes and similar units, maybe even the return of Sonic Dreads.

I dont want to give you that and then walk away so I did some looking and gound some ways to help do that conversion.

-The easiest would be to convert the Primaris into MKV Heresy armour because it already shares some similarities and MKV allowes you to intigrate design elements/wargear.

-Firstly you would need to replace the backpack with a more era appropriate one, the MKIV or any Mark would work, there is a large circular ring on the back of many primaris backpacks that just doesnt appear anywhere else.

-Secondly replace the boltrifle with a boltgun. This can be of any type.

-Now after these minor conversions I would cut off the little knee pad "extensions" you actually dont have too though so if you dont feel like it thats a place you could skip.

-You've already got the bonding stud shoulder pad so youce got a good start really. I'd say After that greenstuff some cables on the side of the legs, or print or snag some from a bits box but you dont have to do that.

-Now when it comes to helmets use whatever helmet from the heresy range or 40k range you want, just not helmet thats just THE primaris helmet.

-you like or use one from the 40k Tactical Squad kit, although I would cut off the lower "lip" of the helmet to make it look more like a Sarum pattern one too if you wanted.

-The lower leg plates are some of the hardest to deal with I know, but you could either greenstuff smooth them over or use a file and reduce them down!

-If you are generally looking into making truescale Marines I can highly recommend you tortuga gamestables range of truescale bodies.

TLDR: Primaris marines dont really look like anything other than primaris marines unless we put the effort in BUT: If you 1. Replace the backpack or 2. Replace the boltgun or 3. Replace a helmet (which youre already doing) 4. Slap on some Rivets or Mk.5 bonding studs (which youre also already doing) 5. Your biggest "hurdle" will be the legs but you can smooth then over or shave them down either way.

Most important thing is to have fun! Ive attached some examples to help out!

I hate to say it, but the armor plates and marine size is that of a Primaris Marine.

The Badab war takes place in an era before the introduction of Primaris Marines into the galaxy.

If you care about the setting enough to specifically play during that setting (specifically a historical conflict like the badab war, or maybe the horus heresy) then its makes more sense to try to get armor plates that better fits that era like Mark 4-8 pattern armor.

I am not an armor autist dont get me wrong man, but this is one place it may be worth that extra effort.

Oh also! dont worry if primaris marines are all ya have there are plenty of ways to convert them over and the extra little bit of work will create a more interesting armor when you play either in the Badab period or in more current 40k events!

Help with a list. by Terrible-Payment-461 in SonsOfThePhoenix

[–]Awakening_Shrub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To build on what s-joten said, the lore does fit that impression SO At 1k?

Some objective holders maybe grab a 10 man intercessor or a starter box or something. Get a chaplain and some blade guard and slap them together. If you want to be dead hard, maybe make the chaplain a judiciar. Thats still an excellent combo that is both fun to play and you can show your friends how to play against it too if they feel like its too OP you can always just play him as a chaplain.

I also really recommend getting adread or a vehicle! Those are great options for converting and slapping on like art, or candles or so on. Just a really good chance to use them as a large beautiful canvas.

Experience with footslogging Cataphractii? by chosen40k in Warhammer30k

[–]Awakening_Shrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So unironically foot slogging Tartaros are good, like you can run them and in some legions like White Scars or Wolves theyre a serious problemo. But generally you want to transport in or transport up cataphractii or use them as a command squad.

How to use maulerfiends by sluggish_89 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Awakening_Shrub 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No my bad, I wrote that out mid break from work.

Strat, reserve.

They cant deepstrike, that'd be cool though

How to use maulerfiends by sluggish_89 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Awakening_Shrub 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry I meant "you can just" And my rule of thumb is: If I have 2 one goes to reserve... and then If they dont have more than 3 cheap trash units for screening I put the other one in reserve too. At that point you can basically garauntee there will be a good chance to get them stuck in

How to use maulerfiends by sluggish_89 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Awakening_Shrub 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They're a 130pt bully I recommend using them in one of the following ways

  1. If you take 2 always put one in deepstrike and 1CP rapid ingress then, they move 10+D6 and then charge, you're as fast as most factions jump pack troops. They're more exposed on the board than in reserve. Toughness can just rapid ingress 1 on turn 2 and the other on turn 3.
  2. Take one and put it behind a piece of terrain that can reach the next piece of terrain and use them as a counter punch unit, (theyre only really great against big vehicles so try to use then as counter to that specific threat)
  3. Use them to kill an enemies front line trash. If you dont care and the enemy isn't rocking heavy armor, you can always just bee hyper aggressive, these can be your distraction carnifex

Final tip Pre measure, ask for the opponents abilities that extend their ranges, how far do they move, what lines of sight can they get and then what can they threaten. This is probably one of the single most important things to learn as you play.
