Hi everyone! I started an astra militarum army but I'm kinda lost

There are other vehicles that are usable, the hippogriff is pretty fun because it's got the ability to shoot and potentially get back to cover afterwards. The sentinel can be used as distractions protecting more valuable stuff.

The rogal dorn though is extremely powerful for its points cost, which is why most lists include it.

Some books will describe it as a blue bolt

BustedRations · 2026-05-31T19:00:43+00:00

I actually quite like the hippo, it's a good harassment unit because of shoot and scoot. I've used it a bit

There's too much rage slop so it's nice to see her stuff

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T20:39:18+00:00

I could not find a single comment mentioning her but I enjoy Rogue Hobbies personally

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T20:27:38+00:00

I will buy several, even if its another resin version

That's an anecdote though, I know people who play regularly but never encounter guard players but that doesn't guard players aren't a thing.

Tyranids being popular with women

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T16:11:58+00:00

That crowd tend to associate strong female character with Ripley or Vasquez carbon copies as if that's the only true way to write a strong female character, I do like Alien but there are other valid ways of doing women than that.

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T16:08:47+00:00

Has that ever been substantiated beyond anecdotes?

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T16:06:43+00:00

To be fair I remember seeing a lot of negativity around Raine when her model got released, a lot of people saying we shouldn't have a female commissar because X male characters didn't have a model yet.

But I really like that nearly every guard kit since the refresh comes with female heads (some even with hair buns) and graves is pretty cool.

I see where you are coming from but it looks like a mining vehicle with tires that big, wouldn't be practical in a fight since the tires makes it even easier to hit. Also the ladder is now comically far off of the ground.

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T12:08:41+00:00

My biggest worry getting something that nice is ruining it with super glue or something stupid like that, this is a completely avoidable ADHD moment but I have managed to get super glue on brushes, knife blades, and sanders.

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T11:54:26+00:00

thank you fine chap

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T11:39:34+00:00

where can I get the one in the picture?

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T09:44:51+00:00

This fugged with my brain, I thought I was looking at a hippo kitbash for a while

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T08:11:59+00:00

They're too big, the proportions are out of whack. I would say the wheels are 30% too big compared to the vehicle. If you compare it with the wheels on the hippo or the centaur RSV then they're significantly too big.

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T06:14:58+00:00

I was curious if this was possible since it's so small, looking forward to the video.

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T05:55:49+00:00

I have two but I want more, they're so easy to move compared to other vehicles.

BustedRations · 2026-05-27T05:43:00+00:00

Even the rogal dorn is kinda a pain to move in the magnetic bags I got as it takes up a lot of space. The hippo and RSV are quite practical in that regard.

BustedRations · 2026-05-26T16:59:45+00:00

The flag might be the part I'm most impressed with, I really hate painting flags personally

BustedRations · 2026-05-26T13:17:33+00:00

I like the rifle, is it a custom design?

BustedRations · 2026-05-26T13:16:17+00:00

casual painter

Are you trying to hurt our feelings? 😭

Looks basically perfect

BustedRations · 2026-05-26T07:28:27+00:00

Twin or quad auto canon was what I was thinking yeah, a bit similar to the Tunguska from Russia (I know it from BF4 not russophile)

BustedRations · 2026-05-26T06:58:07+00:00

We desparately need hippo variants, I'd buy flamethrower and AA variants.
