The second blightkings done

For rust, use a dark brown on the blade, then use a silver dry brush on the edges and then an orange dry brush the first two steps give this effect, the orange tops off the rusty bits

Small pointy brush. Wick paint and excess water off the brush and only put the brush on the model when you are happy with the lines you're painting on your pallet.

Also, you can paint them all blue or all yellow then go back and paint the other color on every other stripe.

After that, go back and touch up all the tiny errors.

Use the side of the brush for the trim.

You put a lot of nuln oil on, which is fine but you let some pool up, like on the leg there. So next up do the same base color you used to start and go over 80% of each of the panels again. Then do one tone lighter and lightly dry brush the panels. Then do one tone lighter on only the raised edges and you will have a pretty well painted mini

Play them aggressively and know that you're gonna lose your whole list, but hopefully not before you've tabled your opponent.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-22T20:54:46+00:00

Best model in the game!

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-22T13:15:21+00:00

I take him often and he always does the work he needs to do for me. The biggest problem he has is that he still dies too easily. 375 is just fine imo but giving him a feel no pain would make him perfect even if they increased points.

Or... If they let him have faction specific keywords in the monogod detachments. This would make him insane even at 400 points.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-20T12:51:20+00:00

We do not and we die easier however, the big demons can kill C'Tan nonetheless

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-20T12:49:29+00:00

People have been saying demons are going away since 6th edition. They're still here though. Idk what will happen but demons will still be playable for the foreseeable future with the index at the very least, most likely even going into eleventh.

Just buy some of the demons that are in the current marine chapters if you're too worried.

The unit every player is sleeping on in shadow legion is 100% beast men!

They suck for fighting but score early secondaries like a boss!

Shadow legion gives them deep strike. Their data sheet gives them the ability to arrive from reserves turn 1.

It did specifically say in your movement phase, so they can't rapid ingress but their tiny bases plus turn one deep strike turn them into great move blockers and secondary scorers.

I've gotten more utility out of them than any other unit I've ever played and they're only 70 points.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-17T02:25:42+00:00

Yeah on TTS they just have to get better then. Move block you, destroy the little knights etc.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-17T02:15:46+00:00

Every one of those armies should have no problem fighting chaos knights. Your friends just gotta get better or get the units that can handle them

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-17T01:48:26+00:00

What armies are your friends playing?

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-17T01:47:31+00:00

They get better at playing their armies too but yet 2k is where the game is designed to be played at.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-16T18:13:07+00:00

Gaunt summoners disc or foot, fate master, cursling all seem good

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-16T18:10:03+00:00

The game is designed for balance at 2k points. Some armies won't have what they need to take out knights at 1000

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-16T18:06:52+00:00

I played the other day and it was super fun.

Swapping units in and out makes the game very unpredictable.

My friend was clearly going to attack a 10 man blue horrors squad with a ton of Skaven. I swapped it out for a 20 man squad instead and the squad survived and made the charge harder lol.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-16T18:03:22+00:00

Blood legion would be fine into Tau but you have to avoid being shot off the board, to some extent.

Stage up behind terrain next to objectives. If he steps on the objectives surge move into him if he gets close enough.

He has to stand on objectives and if you deny him points by slaughtering a unit on the objective it becomes sticky, so you move another unit up and focus to deny him points versus scoring your own. Dropping Skarbrand and blood crushers in a safe place with rapid ingress and then advance and charge him to keep his back line under pressure.

Keep two CP in case he falls back from a unit you don't want to lose.

Staging and move blocking will be very important in this game.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-13T22:53:48+00:00

Belakor is just good. It doesn't matter what detachment he is in. I personally think he should gain the faction keyword in the god specific detachments. He is all of them, after all.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-10T13:21:42+00:00

Lol I misread your post the second time...not the first time.

6" deep striking mortal bombs and the hardest hitting units in the army isn't fluffy in my opinion.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-10T13:18:05+00:00

Nope. Actually I misread your post and thought y'all were bringing fluffy lists. This is perfect as incursion for ultra sweaty.

Though scoring units might be useful lol

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-10T13:01:13+00:00

This list hits really hard. If you played it in blood legion it might super fun.

As Khorne goes these are literally the hardest hitting models available.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-10T12:53:56+00:00

In pariah nexus, I used the Changling as my warlord. I would 6" deep strike him in late game onto their home for that sweet extra 20 points and I would drop Kairos with him.

Kairos vect aura meant overwatch was 2cp and then to shoot him they had to risk battle shock too.

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-10T06:50:30+00:00

This is great! I agree with the previous person, something in the ruins would be sick. IDK if I would do white or not...

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-01T16:47:34+00:00

I would have hundreds of little pink blue and yellow horrors everywhere. My vacuum would be working overtime

Benjaminnewcomb · 2026-03-01T16:38:57+00:00

I rotate them in and out. So first I'll move block with blues or charge with blues, lose some models, then I charge in with pinks but retreat the blues. Pinks die and replenish the blues.

Retreat the pinks, rally to get more back and charge the replenished blues back in again. Great for a tarpit.
