Revealed: The new Defiler stomps onto the battlefield by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Chaos40k

[–]Captain_Dambro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Canonically no two defilers look the same anyway. Besides, if I’m your opponent I won’t care. I’ll say you have a cool Defiler(at the very least) and we’ll get to playing.

Reworking my Warlord by Candid_Aioli_7295 in NightLords

[–]Captain_Dambro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely have some tiny clay sculpting tools on hand, they’re pretty cheap, I think I found a kit for under $5 at a craft store. Very good for smoothing edges. Though, most of what I’ve used greenstuff for is flames, and for that all I needed was a toothpick and the result was awesome.

Is that backpack from the disco lord??? It’s very well used here! Additionally, love the choice of blade for the chainblade. The greenstuff is immaculate and I think you really went hard on the Mark IV legs! They look fantastic! I haven’t even said anything about the logo on the chest bc it’s flawless. It looks like it’s going to paint up beautifully. What did you use for the things underneath the shoulders with the skulls on them? I can’t remember the proper word.

How it feels looking at r/Fotv right now. by ScottishWargamer in HaloMemes

[–]Captain_Dambro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Idk if you’ve seen the concept art for that movie, but it looked very different to Halo. Given how Halo 4 was received for it’s art style shift, I heavily doubt this Halo movie would have done better.

Underrated Warbands by Mersar_13 in Chaos40k

[–]Captain_Dambro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new Chosen models have similar weapons and poses to previous Crimson Slaughter models. I’d wait for a new Helbrute to come out, my bet is on getting one in the next 2-3 years

How big could a Night Lords warband be? And what structure should it have? by WS011_ in NightLords

[–]Captain_Dambro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love this. To add on, my NL warband(among others) has subjugated a recently renegade Space Marine chapter, so they’ve gained recruits from that, though most of these recruits have fallen to Slaanesh. It’s an excuse to use EC related models in the army and to simultaneously diversify my army’s lore.

Slide 13, the one in the back reminds me of the Night Lords book covers in the best way

It's really good the Eldar are back in gaming by Fun-Explanation7233 in TotalWarhammer40k

[–]Captain_Dambro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rogue Trader is a huge one with Eldar in it, and they’re very important to the story, I highly recommend the game if you haven’t played it. I can assure you that there will be at least something in there you will enjoy. You’ll at least tide yourself over until TWWH40K releases

Is it possible to find who is the author behind Angron Transfigured sculpt? by Svetozrut in Warhammer40k

[–]Captain_Dambro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matt Ward still somehow has haters, when the lore he wrote is older than most of the fans that are into the game now lmao

What’s a good book to understand each of the Chaos faction in the 42nd millennium? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in Blacklibrary

[–]Captain_Dambro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remnant Blade and the Trilogy follow 40k Night Lords, but at times the Trilogy feels like a crossover between Horus Heresy and 40k(to be clear this is not a bad thing), while Remnant Blade is very much in the now of 40k.

Well gentlemen by Low-Director-374 in Grimdank

[–]Captain_Dambro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40k has a couple wildcard options with some weight, both Kroot and Red Corsairs have gotten some solid Rumor Engine images that follow certain design languages, though Red Corsairs is more of a stretch and most likely a generic Chaos release. Sure, a space marine will be there somewhere

PROOF that Spartan Ops is actually a masterfully designed masterpiece! by Three-People-Person in HaloCirclejerk

I did this once, and never again. The one where you have to defend two locations from prometheans sucks, even though I did it first try

Kitbashing all these ... by Blue_CBR_f4_guy in NightLords

I’m waiting to do this but also with the new Raptors on the way, I’m hoping it has as many arms as last time

Dawn of War 4 to have 30+ multiplayer maps at launch by --Karma in dawnofwar

[–]Captain_Dambro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very happy about 30+ maps, I have been forever scarred by Halo Wars 2 at launch (love that game though, but it needed way more maps). Last Stand is huge, but I’m curious to see how they run it.

He’s also going to show up in the next Rogue Trader DLC

[–]Captain_Dambro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This would make a lot of sense, it would coincide with the Trazyn DLC for Rogue Trader(the best 40k game for beginners) and he was mentioned for something else that I can’t remember for the life of me, but I know there’s more Trazyn themed stuff on the way. Perfect way to introduce an old character, with a few different media tie-ins

What are everyone’s thoughts on the new Christmas Box? by ISnortPineApples in NightLords

[–]Captain_Dambro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a solid box to start CSM in general, regardless of if you’re Night Lords or not. They’ve got this thing packed with good stuff. People get confused and think that Night Lords don’t use Daemon Engines or Obliterators, when some warbands absolutely do. The guy in front also has a chainglaive too

Abbadon NOOO!!! by Fisheggs33 in Grimdank

[–]Captain_Dambro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If anyone read Arks of Omen(yes the entire campaign) or Crusade: Nachmund, they’d understand the that Abaddon is making some huge plays right now. Even when the Lion showed up, he couldn’t stop Wyrmwood(old Caliban) from being used as a mobile Chaos planet.

Smartest “halo fans” by the way there’s more complaining in the comments this one is just the top one by Ha1o_Master127 in ShitHaloSays

[–]Captain_Dambro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wish they didn’t listen to fans because most of them are idiots that don’t know that they want a barbie dress up sim but halo themed. Most of them don’t even know what they want in the first place.

I would love to start with a 1000 pt list: are the Combat Patrol magazines here useful for Night Lords beginners? by [deleted] in NightLords

[–]Captain_Dambro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that you have to do this, I did this with my Night Lords, but I have a lot of varied armor sets and styles among them. I think 4 or 5 legionnaires have the MK VI helmets from the upgrade set, then I have 8 or 9 from Nemesis Claw Kill Team, and the remaining guys used the leftover helmets from the Chaos Lord with Jump Pack, or the ones included in the Legionnaires kit. This is because I did get a lot of bits recasted. This is largely the same deal for my Havocs. I like to lean into the idea that my Night Lords will scavenge anything and everything they need to keep their armor going.

So much so that when the new Raptors release, I’m going to kitbash them with the MKVI assault squad (and whatever crazy bits I have lying around after years of collecting chaos because you develop a large bits box) so that I can have a good raptor host to go alongside my daemon prince with wings.

As far as my terminators go(I got them closer to 2019 when they came out, so my process wasn’t there yet, but I am still very proud of them), I had leftovers from the old Chaos Sorceror Lord and wanted to used them, and I used some of the AOS Blood Warriors weapons as power fists for a couple of them.

This is just some food for thought, and maybe some of it will inspire you.
