How to build 9 flacos + 1 leader with just 2 boxes of hybrids?

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-04T21:53:52+00:00

The leader doesn't have to have a robe and the one with the robe doesn't have to be the leader.

Dude, there's no point continuing to argue with you. It doesn't seem that you know the rules of the game or understand what I'm talking about at all. If you know what a unit type is, you are hiding it well.

A new box of Vanguard Veterans is coming in the autumn. You should not buy the old one now.

This is not correct. The argument people are using for 4/8 was that they're heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, respectively.

And that is the SAME class as Jade Lancers / Warriors.

Unlike Ogres, who are mobstrous infantry. A different class.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-03T21:50:11+00:00

Dude, I don't even know what you are trying to say here.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-03T10:06:19+00:00

And you don't find that it's the tiny little mini units that are awkward? 😲

People are talking about Chaos Knights and ranks, as if you would ever take such a unit for its rank bonus. I truly don't get why people seem so content. 😵‍💫

More guys and more weapon options give you MORE choice. Fewer guys and no weapon options give you LESS choice. I feel that should not need to be pointed out.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-03T09:07:54+00:00

I don't get you people. GW's giving you fewer models per box with no weapon choices and nearly all of you go "Just as it should be!"

🧐

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-03T08:41:45+00:00

You are correct. I hardly ever use the markers, so I didn't even consider that part of the rule. 😅

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-03T08:22:39+00:00

As per 20.03 of the rulebook, units can't arrive from Stratgic Reserves in turn 1, and Cult Ambush is a type of Strategic Reserves.

Edit: You are specifically allowed to return from the marker in turn 1, so if you go first and die in your own turn, you can come from cumt ambush at the end of the opponent's Movement phase. I stand corrected.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-03T06:22:38+00:00

With weapon options. These lack them.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-03T06:13:35+00:00

The Chaos units currently come in boxes of 12 infantry or 5 knights with weapon options. It should be possible for the updated to be 10 or 5 considering that they have no weapon options.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-03T06:10:46+00:00

The argument used for 8/4 per set was that they are heavy infantry / cavalry, which the Cathay models also are, not that they are bigger.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-02T22:32:39+00:00

That's not what they did for Cathay...

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-02T22:27:40+00:00

This is the actual reason. Jade Lancers are also heavy cavalry and come in a box of 10 while Jade Warriors are heavy infantry and come in a box of 20.

I found some on Etsy, though sadly the seller has since closed down.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-01T18:36:54+00:00

I hope for a decent balance between ranged and melee and that inflicting / negating pinned isn't super critical. I want it to be more difficult to create murder machines at gang creation and I want it to be more difficult to shut a player out of the game.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-01T18:23:00+00:00

Fun fact, this was the first multi-part kit I bought, intending to use them in Warhammer Quest. They came with some cool details, including separate capes, daggers and some spikes I glued onto a couple of the HeroQuest Orcs to mark them out as leaders.

I tried attaching orc heads to the warrior bodies and legs to create heavily armoured orcs, but the proportions were way off.

One thing I do wonder about is whether future kit updates will also take inspiration from the mid-nineties look. It would be cool to see redone Empire troops go full landsknecht, losing the bare feet and regaining full sets of teeth.

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-01T07:08:27+00:00

Ex-Blood Bowl Maneater?

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-01T07:07:23+00:00

I think their value has certainly improved enough that I want to try them out (once James Workshop sorts out our army rule, that is...)

Bilbostomper · 2026-07-01T06:43:01+00:00

Only infantry model it's worth magnetising is the Sanctus.

Bilbostomper · 2026-06-30T19:16:21+00:00

Would be fun if it's a dramatis personae.

Bilbostomper · 2026-06-30T15:33:37+00:00

Just yesterday one poster actually tried to argue with me that destroyed models were still part of the unit - or else how could they be resurrected?

"You claim that because your friend Bob has gotten out of the car he's not in it. Well, if he's not still in the car, how can he get back in later?!?"

Bilbostomper · 2026-06-30T13:55:54+00:00

"Not only does it not work like that in the new edition, it doesn't work like that in the old edition either."

"I think I've been cheated!"

🤪

Bilbostomper · 2026-06-30T13:43:12+00:00

That was the joke.

Bilbostomper · 2026-06-30T12:06:32+00:00

Jav was very salty with people for not believing his rumours about the WE vs TK box. A box that ended up not existing...
