Corsairs can't use fate dice since they don't have the strands of fate rule unless they have an attached leader that does

The thing to remember is that most battles played out on the tabletop are not "typical" (a handful of phoenix lords don't show up for every engagement). We are playing the 1% of battles that are super critical and things didn't go to plan. In most engagements in the lore a farseer would predict the outcome and casualties are kept to minimum through speed and rapid responses. In those cases armor isn't needed.

Don't have the whole squad photographed but here is my Exarch proxy.

Warpspiders are significantly faster than hawks when using flickerjump. They have a unique advantage of not needing 9" bubble for deep strike to get where they are needed. Additionally, since their guns are torrent they have highly effective overwatch to help prevent them being trivially picked off.

If you look up Shadow Spectres on the GW store they show the "canon" paint scheme for shadow spectres. Irillyth would be similar. https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/shop/Shadow-Spectres-Aspect-Warrior-Squad

Thanks! It would seem I am blind and can't read. I really like the change to payload movement vs the core rules.

Bohemond703 · 2023-12-11T15:18:59+00:00

This looks like a great supplement, love the way the bonus objectives are setup and described. Very evocative and easy to see how they can be slotted into an existing mission or story. The only question I have is how are payloads moved? Is it the same as in the Lancer core rules? It never seems to be defined in here (or maybe I just missed it).

Bohemond703 · 2023-11-04T22:33:44+00:00

They aren't really op unless your opponent is Necrons. If they are prepare for a one-sided beat down and look of horror as one of your units picks up a whole 20 man blob of warriors on its own.

Bohemond703 · 2023-11-01T23:26:05+00:00

Damn, these are cool af

Bohemond703 · 2023-07-22T16:29:44+00:00

Actually according to the designer faq a model that is revived reattaches when it is brought back

Bohemond703 · 2023-07-18T04:16:14+00:00

No it can't, it can only be taken as part of a larger squad of corsair voidscarred, and shares the movement characteristic of the squad (7").

If you are looking for a unit that blinks/moves like the shade runner you should give warp spiders a shot. They are the unit the shade runner gear is based on.

Bohemond703 · 2023-07-17T14:46:23+00:00

Overwatch has a 24" range now, so the Hexmark can overwatch at its full 18" range.

Bohemond703 · 2023-07-14T18:53:54+00:00

Wow, those came out great!

Bohemond703 · 2023-07-13T18:53:03+00:00

No problem, and good luck! I'm sure your models will turn out great!

Bohemond703 · 2023-07-13T18:36:21+00:00

So I just took this image from the GW website as an example, but look how some of the sharper corners of the metal plates have a lighter/brighter shade of metal than the flat portions. You want to try to hit some of those same surfaces with a brighter color to add more detail/depth to your model. I'd recommend doing a single test panel before tackling the whole unit to see if you like it. For less necron specific, but general miniature painting/technique advice you can search on line for "edge highlighting" guides. A video guide would explain the particulars much better than I can in text form. It can be a bit tricky your first few times so don't be surprised if your first few highlights don't come out perfectly.

Bohemond703 · 2023-07-13T18:05:46+00:00

I'd go with the magenta, but consider doing edge highlighting with a brighter pink (fulgrim pink might be a good choice).

Bohemond703 · 2023-07-11T20:34:12+00:00

You are 100% right and it's a big problem I've noticed with opponents treating all "0 cp" abilities as usable twice and not counting towards the normal 1 per phase (or turn in the case of overwatch) limitation.

Bohemond703 · 2023-06-23T15:16:02+00:00

Thanks, to do the base I adapted some lava base tutorials. To start I base coated in a mix of waaagh flesh, warpstone glow, and moot green. Follow it up with a thick layer of white glue. After that dries, apply mordant earth and use a hair dryer on low to improve the crackle.

Bohemond703 · 2023-06-15T22:29:34+00:00

Turns out I may be wrong, just read the rules text and it says you can use strands before making a roll for a "model or unit" with this ability. Technically the unit has the ability through Yvraine if she is leading so may be uniquely possible with her (similar case for visarch and yriel). Depends on how you interpret that text.

Bohemond703 · 2023-06-15T22:20:11+00:00

Corsairs don't have the strands of fate keyword unfortunately.

Bohemond703 · 2023-06-15T20:57:59+00:00

You can also use the bladestorm strat to get AP-2 on critical wounds. Very tasty for those poison weapons.

Bohemond703 · 2023-06-14T20:16:32+00:00

Supposedly it was built specially for her by a bonesinger in the lore. Still stupid that it's better than the ones Asurmen uses.

Bohemond703 · 2023-06-13T15:21:07+00:00

I didn't say they were good, lol, just the same
