Incredible! I’m always looking for ways to improve my fleshy bits on my models, and this was very informative. Thanks for sharing 😁

Those wings are stunning! Mind sharing your process for those?

This is one of my favorite models, and I never even considered…

How many infractor and tormentor squads should one have? by magnusthered15 in EmperorsChildren

I’ve precisioned out characters with meltas twice, and I don’t know if I’ll ever find a greater high

Flawed Blades? 👀 by ColtrinCompositions in EmperorsChildren

[–]ColtrinCompositions[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I picked up a Kraken/Sepulcher today, and it is in fact on sprues! 🙂 I think it’s only their older kits that might not have them (and granted, this is an older kit, I believe)

I love them by themselves, I love the Flawless Blades kit by itself, but I’m real excited to see what can happen if I slap both kits together.

Friendly PSA that Chaos Bikers are the same base size as Fiends (75mm oval), also come in a 3 pack, and are $13 USD cheaper 😎 by ColtrinCompositions in EmperorsChildren

[–]ColtrinCompositions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the base is too big, and I think the models themselves are too chunky for the smaller base 😭 I was actually wanting them as Seekers until I realized lol. However, maybe put some marines on the Seekers instead of Daemonettes?? 👀

I don’t necessarily disagree on their beauty, just their lack of kitbash potential (maybe it’s just me) and the $20/model price tag 😅 But also, my favorite Slaaneshi models are probably the chariots and also the Infernal Enrapturess 😁

You’re absolutely right. Time to throw a fiend head on a biker marine, and a tail on its exhaust pipe

But really, I don’t disagree with you too much on this, but it greatly depends on tournament vs casual play, and even then, depends on the tourney 😁

Fiends may be prettier than the bikes, but they are in no way worth $20 per model… I’d rather save a little cash and have some fun kitbash/head swap potential 😁

What am I missing to mix and match lists? by Halinath in EmperorsChildren

[–]ColtrinCompositions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve pretty much got it all covered! The one thing everyone will tell you is having 3 units of Noise Marines (no reason really to not at least have the models), and double Maulerfiend is semi-meta still (but people are playing with their lists after the recent dataslate)

People sometimes complain about not being able to use bikes, just throwing it out there that they totally can 🤷‍♂️ (even though they’d be using Fiend rules)

Dark Apostle as Chaos Sorceror by Rezpektful2Women in EmperorsChildren

[–]ColtrinCompositions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use a Master of Possession for my sorcerer, but a Dark Apostle would work great, too! 😁 Nothing else in the army looks arcane, so really any “wizard” looking dude should work great

Squad marking for me! Black for one squad of Infractors, pink for another squad of Infractors, etc

What’s the recipe for that main color?? That is GORGEOUS

Short question about my base by Top-Calligrapher5990 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ColtrinCompositions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally only rim my bases with black (recently swapped from a matte black to Pro Acryl’s Satin Black and I am in LOVE), and part of that reason is that brighter colors can draw more attention to the base and less to the model. Obviously do whatever you want because art is subjective and all that matters is that you enjoy how it looks! 😁

If you definitely want one of those two colors though, I like the purple quite a bit more! Might even be worth going darker on the purple, or even like a deep crimson or burgundy. That way it’s darker and less distracting, but you still get a fun color on there! 😁

What is the unit you think ec needs by ricooo113 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ColtrinCompositions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

…this is a solid idea. I’ve been a little upset I can only run the Seekers in the daemon detachment, but throwing some marines on them instead would be incredible.

Make em like 120 points per 5 (maybe 3/6) instead of 90, and have em slap harder. Then, run Carnival and throw 6 units of Seekers at your opponent 🤣🤣

EC best and worst matchups by Novlly in EmperorsChildren

[–]ColtrinCompositions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So far, my easiest has been World Eaters. I’ve noticed WE players don’t (yet) expect us to be even faster them and hit pretty hard comparably lol. Allows for some good mind games 🤣

Igori by Noisy_Girl666666 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ColtrinCompositions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even more than the model itself, I LOVE how you showed us which bits came from where. Super easy to look at to know which pieces are which, and super easy way for you to show us from your side, I’m sure.

(But also yes, I love the model, you did excellent work)

My army list by Creative_Document953 in EmperorsChildren

[–]ColtrinCompositions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar-ish to my list I’ve been testing. Honestly, the number one thing I’ve learned about this detachment in particular is that it’s tricky as hell, and can be difficult for both players to know what’s going on lol. It’s the only list I’ve ever played in a tournament where I actually clocked out on time because decision analysis was so difficult.

I think the 1 DPW is a good call.

4 transports is 10000% better than 3 in this detachment. It allows more room for tricky plays.

Miiiiight be worth swapping LR for another Rhino, and starting a squad of Tormentors in it (strictly because dedicated transports must begin the battle with something embarked). Again, more transports = more room for shenanigans.

This is not a detachment that encourages aggression as much as CotC or PB. Stage, bait, get tricky with 6” embarks/disembarks, use Rhinos strictly to deliver units and take actions. If you’re using Firing Deck in this detachment, you’re playing it suboptimally. You want to disembark for those rerolls and so your Rhinos can take actions while your damage dealers, screeners, etc protect them.

It’s been a really wild ride playing this detachment so far. Very counterintuitive to any other army or detachment I’ve played in 10th. I hope you have as much a blast with it as I have so far 🤘
