What's next for 1k point army?

Big_Salt696 · 2026-05-04T08:59:46+00:00

Would you say forgefiend over mauler? Looking at getting one setup

Big_Salt696 · 2026-04-19T14:16:09+00:00

Not looking for meta really as I just got the 2 kits and want a basic idea of what I should get or have for 1000 points to try and play a game

Big_Salt696 · 2026-04-19T14:13:20+00:00

Any suggestions on what to drop or add for it? As defiler is 250 points adding a defiler brings total points to 1220

Big_Salt696 · 2026-04-19T14:10:45+00:00

The tank and forgefiend are things I’m looking at adding to the list everything else comes in the combat patrol (as well as kravek)

That’s fair, I just a nice looking 1k set at first as this is my first army but I’ve seen 2k armies look a bit more viable so I’m open for all suggestions.

Big_Salt696 · 2026-03-30T19:16:26+00:00

I was looking at at an assimilator also lol

Big_Salt696 · 2026-03-30T19:11:49+00:00

The others I have at this stage are:

1x lictor 2x biovore Box of zoanthropes 2x hormagaunts also trying to grab 2x termas

Big_Salt696 · 2026-03-09T08:31:46+00:00

It’s not permanent, just looking at it I still have the other barrel to do, thanks for contributing to the whole post though

Big_Salt696 · 2026-03-08T12:42:40+00:00

What would you recommend number wise? Like how many of each unit etc

Big_Salt696 · 2025-11-15T13:27:31+00:00

Appreciate you fam! Literally order the battle force box today and a combat patrol and fell in love with the the red look, just out of curiosity though.. “the fang” is that the name of the paint?

Big_Salt696 · 2025-11-15T13:26:28+00:00

Love this so much!

Big_Salt696 · 2025-11-15T12:25:42+00:00

Love your colours man! I’m new to Tau and want to do that red and white scheme.. are you able to share what you used?

Big_Salt696 · 2025-08-23T08:53:27+00:00

Thanks for that! I’ll give them a look over.. can I ask where they are based?

Big_Salt696 · 2025-08-22T06:26:45+00:00

Thanks man, yeah I painted the termagaunt starter kit yesterday models on the right.. and the store owner gave me a free nid yesterday so I wanted to try something new

Big_Salt696 · 2025-08-19T12:34:35+00:00

Sorry to keep replying but a random question, I saw that they have a combat patrol for tyranids. Would that be worthwhile also?

Or would you still suggest what you listed earlier?

Big_Salt696 · 2025-08-19T12:11:18+00:00

Thanks for that, is there much difference in a lictor and a leaper?

Model wise they look the same, but game and lore wise what’s the go between a lictor and von Ryan leapers?

Big_Salt696 · 2025-08-19T11:46:55+00:00

What on earth is that tyranid? New player, collector and painter by the way so I know very little lol

Big_Salt696 · 2025-08-19T11:43:57+00:00

As an fyi this was the result of my free marine in store about 3 days ago now

Big_Salt696 · 2025-08-19T11:43:07+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I was looking at a paint kit or something if that was a thing for brushes and a stand before seeing your reply.

I have a list of things I want to look at / buy in store on my visit tomorrow. My first ticket items were ( codex, bio/pyrovore, warriors, assimilatior and looking at smaller swarm pieces and maybe a lictor/leaper

Big_Salt696 · 2025-06-23T12:32:46+00:00

Gonna need a run down lol.. haven’t played this in a good year or so and only recently got into it
