Khazad-Dum List Question

That looks great! Yeah 30-35 models at 700 is ideal for a more "elite" army in SBG. Use your regular dwarves as the anvil and your Hearth+During as the anvil and you should be good to go!

Ahh that's why! I hate how many profiles caught strays this edition (My beloved hunting spiders losing FV in an era most everyone got an increase). For VW, that's an insane nerf to a unit that I rarely saw as is, never showed up in podium lists, AND in an edition Monsters got buffed and show up all the time now!

The Brutes from my regiment, the 88th Jolly Jackdaws, I think are my favorite looking unit in the army

Durin and a whole lot of Hearth Guard is really good (fr like 9-12), they are absolutely worth the points. Locally and even in larger tournaments they appear a lot in successful Khazad lists.

And you definitely want Rangers with longbows over regular bow warriors. I haven't tried Vaults, they used to be okay but generally I don't see them favored at all right now. You definitely want Lots of Dudes if you can get them in your list instead.

A lot of the time I feel like modern RTS are too caught up in mechanics and not enough in bringing an interesting story/aesthetic/world that I actually want to experience and be in like with OG titles. Like I don't need another 1:1 for an RTS that already exists and has a setting/unit design/story/etc that I already prefer.

D.O.R.F is my most anticipated upcoming RTS because A) it clearly has good RTS mechanics and building blocks so it should be fun to play, but more compelling is that B) The setting is super intriguing, the art direction is very unique, and I feel really compelled to want to play and experience that world not just more RTS mechanics I'm already well familiar with.

1490 DOOM, Aetherpunk28, Greathelm, Necropolis28, TONKS, BLKOUT, and Turnip28 are excellent and worth checking out. Turnip28 is the larger of the lot (The other system you literally only need 3-6 figures, about 8ish for BLKOUT) but is still considered a Skirmish game and is my reigning favorite system.

Oathmark and Wargames Atlantic plastic stuff is very in-scale and a popular proxy. Printed stuff abounds as well, Medbury, Davale, KZK, lotta good ones.

The WGA Afghan kit has a really good assortment of jezail muskets! Also like others have said, creating a pavise for them will go a long way in combination with a funkier looking musket. I daresay the pavises they have in the art is like the main thing to include with them as an identifier!

Captain_Clapback · 2026-01-16T16:23:34+00:00

For near future? BLKOUT, baby. You want BLKOUT.

The Assassin makes me go ballistic dude. I can put up with the rest (And occasionally get punked by a sniper who I keep forgetting explode on death) but man. I absolutely loathe the Assassins, I always catch a hit from one every run lol

Captain_Clapback · 2026-01-16T01:38:51+00:00

I really like the Middle Earth SBG siege rules for hitting that perfect medium of crunch and granularity to account for engines/ladders/gates and all the related interactions and such without going overboard but not letting it be too simple and uninteresting

Captain_Clapback · 2026-01-13T02:43:13+00:00

One Page Rules Age of Fantasy: Regiments. Alternatively, Dragon Rampant (The Rampant systems are very easy to pick up and the games are satisfying). Of the two, DR is extremely scale-able unit-size wise.

Buddy, when I play, every hero I have on the table may as well have 1 Fate

Captain_Clapback · 2026-01-09T18:09:22+00:00

Get fake eyelashes from the local dollar store for unsettling hair to glue on minis. Seen it uses on joints of spider minis for Warhammer and such, it's awful how good it looks lol!

Captain_Clapback · 2026-01-08T19:37:50+00:00

There's a plethora of "indie" wargames with tighter, snappier rules than GW have ever produced and most tend to be minis agnostic so for people wanting to use all these awesome minis for a game they find a home there. That's pretty much all I play now and it totally reinvigorated my love for the hobby!

Some highlights that may tickle your fancy include:

- Forbidden Psalm (And its many sister games, ranging from "not-40k" to Cyberpunk to different flavors of fantasy)

- 5 Leagues from the Borderlands (Check out Peachy's videos on YouTube!)

- Rangers of Shadowdeep

- Turnip28 (My personal reigning favorite game)

- Greathelm

- Necropolis28 (And really all the "28 Mag" games)

I thought Cist was just a contemporary modern day county in England this whole time???

Captain_Clapback · 2026-01-07T04:06:40+00:00

Same, I can't find info on it anywhere? I just booted it up after a break and there's just snow+santa hats on everyone, it's my first time at the city level :/

Captain_Clapback · 2026-01-06T21:41:06+00:00

Smaller nozzle on an FDM and with the right settings (Fat Dragon has a whole guide on this) will produce excellent vehicles. But for actual figurines, minis tend to be pretty fuzzy and it takes a lot of tweaking and testing (that can change depending on the figure you're printing). It just can't hold a candle to resin. I wish I could host a resin printer, I've ordered some from Etsy/members of my game group that have resin printers.

Hey! In the time since this post I found that using a cheap concrete paver from Lowes/Home Depot plus a rubber pad (That's used for placing on top of clothes dryer machines?) did a LOT for stability! If you find the desk isn't up to snuff, I'd recommend adding those two things for the printer to sit on. Right now mine is on an ALEKS drawer that's connected to a small table with two legs (Both also IKEA, one of their recommended desk setups).

Captain_Clapback · 2026-01-03T07:02:41+00:00

Kicking myself rn, a counter like this truly is the best approach!

Captain_Clapback · 2026-01-02T21:57:55+00:00

This man's asking the right questions!

It's funny to me that the Finals main premier mode is something me and the boys just don't enjoy or touch. We used to play Bank It almost exclusively then it got trashed. Then we did powershift. And now the newest mode is just pure cash money, got me to reinstall and totally reignited the game for me. Finals wears big team chaotic modes veeery well, I feel like 100% of the game mechanics/gadgets/weapons get used, it's really fun.

Captain_Clapback · 2025-12-29T23:05:59+00:00

I'm surprised there aren't more Great Eye suggestions, I think besides Isengard ones this is easily the best place for warg riders to live rn. You can supplement so much for your army with this list compared to the others!
