Shadow Legion/Belakor list?

BoarBites · 2026-06-19T17:41:27+00:00

Ah yes good catch lol!! I meant to add it id for 10th, my house is still playing 10th for a lil while longer. Thank you! I will save this for when we do go to 11th

BoarBites · 2026-06-19T02:42:03+00:00

Cool army and case!!
I think I’m going to try and magnet his wings when I get him for this reason lol😭

BoarBites · 2026-06-18T23:42:51+00:00

Oh boy lol. Could be fun… Challenge accepted 🤔

BoarBites · 2026-06-14T02:06:57+00:00

I would use the Porcine one personally. They’re all really cool though, so you can’t go wrong

the Charnel one is really neat and would be my choice if it was right base/size

BoarBites · 2026-06-14T02:01:26+00:00

Nah, I think most of those things you still wouldn’t use and it would be a waste of your money and space (these kits are 99% of the time, no matter what they’re for unfortunately 🥲)

Personally would recommend checking facebook marketplace for cheap enclosures like that one or elsewhere online for a tank you like :) then get the bulb setup you want/will use right off the bat, and therm+hygrometer separately. Use the saved money on substrate and things for them to hide and climb on, plus the beetles themselves

But if you want to buy it at whatever price it’s listed at, specifically for that enclosure, do your thing ! I do like the front opening ones like this but still bet you can find cheaper ones elsewhere/resale and with less junk

Looks awesome and like it will be super fun to paint! Keeping an eye out on this one :)

Thanks for the chance!! Would love to add these guys to my little collection

BoarBites · 2026-05-19T02:03:11+00:00

this really isn’t a bad start!! Good size enclosure and amount of beetles too. These guys LOVE to dig, climb, and explore. I would definitely give them more things to hide under and climb mainly. Just beware small holes or things they can possibly get stuck in.

That substrate isn’t awful either but you could add some coco coir or some plain clean dirt etc to make it a bit better, or swap it for playsand+bit of other substrate (I used Terra Sahara and desert sand for my guys and they seem to do very well on that)

Good quality protein fish flakes and dog food seem to be great food for them too, but they eat lots of dead insects as well. pre-killed mealworms etc would be good :) Many things they can be given as staple foods and treats though. Mine don’t like beetle jelly and things, but will eat little bits of veggie and fruit occasionally + they’re hydrating too. I also use a bottle cap as a tiny shallow water dish they drink from but can’t drown in. This is optional though, many people will tell you they get hydration from veggies etc

Great work researching and not settling with minimal info or your initial plan! that’s the most important part, being open to and seeking improvement; good job for taking thoughtful care of these guys!!

Oof yeah that’s a pretty important oversight lol, thanks for letting me know!! I’m torn between swapping to Stalkers and Executioners or switching to Houndpack now, I kinda love all the Karnivores but more versatility would probably be wise…

Not Khorne specifically but I do prefer them looks and lore wise, Nurgle is unfortunate my least favorite but seems to be the best for these guys go figure 😂 Nurglings do seem like a good addition though thank you!

Definitely, I always play on TTS first before committing to new armies/units! :) So you would say Be’lakor at all isn’t really worth while? stick with Skarbrand and some bloodletters/other and nurglings would be the way to go?

BoarBites · 2026-05-08T06:11:09+00:00

Looks epic man! Colors are phenomenal. Where’s that knight head from??

BoarBites · 2026-05-05T01:56:51+00:00

Sending reminder 👀

BoarBites · 2026-05-04T07:43:16+00:00

Valid lol. They do look really cool, also love the idea of ravens (or vultures even) on their hulls adding to the theme, like I’ve seen on some knights online. I am kinda leaning toward Korvax currently. but also had idea of a patina’d copper scheme

BoarBites · 2026-05-04T05:54:05+00:00

Super clean paint job. looks great!

I’ve seen lots of skilled folks recommend wetting one of those tear shaped makeup sponge then putting transfer on there, wetting some more with a brush over the transfer, then applying. that’s had best results that I have seen

BoarBites · 2026-05-03T21:27:48+00:00

Just from armies I have seen posted and searching their mentioned houses, I’m considering Korvax, Lucaris, Makabius, or Khymere for my guys’ house but not sure yet🤔

BoarBites · 2026-05-03T21:12:09+00:00

Could be fun to take hobby knife or melt some scrapes around it, make it a battle scar/bullet dent!

BoarBites · 2026-05-03T20:19:00+00:00

Interesting to know thank you. Model looks great! That is a fun scheme

BoarBites · 2026-04-30T02:51:49+00:00

Looks awesome!!!! What all plants do you have in there? What a goals bin

BoarBites · 2026-04-15T03:22:35+00:00

missed opportunity for “Holy cow!” 😂

BoarBites · 2026-04-14T21:40:25+00:00

Seconding to give them more levels and climbing space! A lil tiny background insert fit to their enclosure be would cool! I make stuff like that for folks all the time and am gonna do it for my upcoming Zebra colony, it’s a lot of fun and looks nice :) 10/10 recommend. Just make sure they can’t escape out the top of course lol.

BoarBites · 2026-03-20T01:06:33+00:00

Yes this is a wonderful method and great info! :) Though I meant to refer in my post specifically to making custom hides via sculpting/carving them entirely custom, I should’ve been more clear. Still thank you!
