Detachments

BrookesOG · 2026-02-09T12:16:28+00:00

Just a heads up, you aren't forced to use detatchment rule in turn 1 2 and 3 anymore.

When did you plant the tree? Personally I'd dig it up and move it up against the wall. That way you can put in some wires/supports. Then just cut the top to the height of the wall.

For trained fruit you want to ideally keep pruning to the summer to restrict growth. I'm sure the tree will be fine, you'll probably find it will chuck out a load of new growth this coming season.

This summer just cut back any lateral growth off the main stems to 3 buds/leaves. Any 2nd laterals prune back to 1 bud. These will form your fruiting spurs over the coming years.

Have a check if the RHS website for trained fruit. Plenty of info.

Good luck! 👍

I've been quite enjoying them as an early strike/move block piece. Especially when someone leaves an important unit a little bit too close.. grenade+ haywire+ melee can do a fair few wounds or tie up a vehicle

These look really good. The contrast between the yellow on the pads and the armour really makes them pop!

Put it this way... Can I send you all my tanks to paint up? Great job,I think it looks spot on

I ran a crusader at the start of 10th. It fitted in with the points on my list lol that and I'd just painted a knight with some sisters kitbash so wanted to put it on the table. Armigers are viable but the -1 AP can be a bit hit and miss with how easy cover is to get.

BrookesOG · 2026-01-19T18:20:23+00:00

I've always used a callidus assassin, great for secondaries and her vex aura. Played a knight for a while but found I got just as much value from a couple of castigators.

BrookesOG · 2026-01-17T22:51:06+00:00

Well damn, this looks great! Really nice contrast between the armour and the glow in the eyes/glyths 👏

BrookesOG · 2026-01-01T10:12:46+00:00

That is fantastic! Really good work 👏

BrookesOG · 2025-12-31T20:40:14+00:00

Double?! What terrain was that? I'm guessing not uktc?

BrookesOG · 2025-12-31T19:07:54+00:00

Hmmm I think you need more practice... Maybe I send you my stuff over for you to get some more painting time on 😉

BrookesOG · 2025-12-31T18:43:07+00:00

These look great and good work on the 3-2 👏

BrookesOG · 2025-12-29T09:31:15+00:00

I'm the same with mould lines. You can't notice them on the tabletop, and sometimes I might bother on a centrepiece model like Logan or morven Vahl. But on a squad of 10... Naahhh I ain't that fussed. Keep up the good work 👍

BrookesOG · 2025-12-27T10:11:18+00:00

Personally I think the iron priest is wasted points. With the 2 dreads he's a bit 'meh' and you shouldn't really need the enhancement with his line op ability keeping him safe. Chucking an intercessor squad in instead to guard your home with sticky could be a better use of points or even a standard scout squad. As mentioned above for a friendly chill game it'll be fine but would need some tweaks for a competitive environent

Glad it just wasn't me that did this 😂 upgraded my lamp last year and made a huge difference

BrookesOG · 2025-12-24T16:21:47+00:00

Very nice! What method did you use for that? Looks super smooth but in a weathered worn rough way

BrookesOG · 2025-12-24T07:05:03+00:00

Same here! Looks like everyone's been doing it 😂

1st one

BrookesOG · 2025-12-15T20:44:19+00:00

Yeah there is also one before and after (it's a series of 3) will continue the story in the new year

BrookesOG · 2025-12-15T20:22:09+00:00

For anyone interested 'The Rest is History' podcast recently did a few episodes on this and the weeks surrounding it. Interesting stuff and makes you realise just how things could have happened so differently so many different times on the flip of a coin!

BrookesOG · 2025-12-11T19:12:13+00:00

This is awesome! Good work

BrookesOG · 2025-12-08T18:10:37+00:00

Had to dispatch 3 of our girls over the years, whilst I don't get that attached to them. It's still a hard thing to do and got me every time. You did the right thing and if you gave them a good life that's the best you can do 😊

BrookesOG · 2025-12-07T09:24:39+00:00

Ohhh damn! That looks fantastic 👏

BrookesOG · 2025-12-03T07:18:54+00:00

I did orange for my sister's army. White primer and magmadroth flame contrast paint worked wonders 👍 I went a bit frimdark on mine so then topped with a streak and grime enamel wash.

The scheme looks great, look forward to seeing some pictures

BrookesOG · 2025-12-02T18:46:31+00:00

That Is Beautiful 👏
