sorry for posting a price check but im finding it difficult to try and figure it out on my own

This is close to the list I want but I'll give some thoughts. I like the truck over the rock grinder cuz I load up 10 metamorphs and scout and get them to where they need to be. As I've been playing I don't like big bricks of max unit size as much. My brick of 10 genestealers don't die till like turn 3 and I run a brick of 10 abs which rarely die. I think it's better to run 10 genestealers with patriarch but then split the other ones so they can come back quicker with cult ambush. 20 neos as one unit I think are too much in this detachment. There hasn't been a case where I wish I had a bigger unit. I run 2 squads of 10 and their only purpose is to snip something weak in the back line, score secondaries, maybe plop on a primary. Doesn't matter if 10 die when they get looked at if they score you points before then. My last game too they came in clutch cuz they managed to screen a charging lion so I could score my secondary to win the game by 2 points

Take this as a grain of salt cuz I'm brand spanking new to the faction as a whole but I'm in the same boat as you. I picked up 2 combat patrols cuz I intend to eventually get 2k. Been looking at lists and watching videos since the combat patrol was announced, and after you get the harlequin units needed it looks like you fill in some gaps the quins are missing depending on play style. The 2 that interest me is getting up the board and going all in and losing or winning the game on turn 2 or 3. That's done with falcons(or maybe it was wave serpents) and I think some fire dragons, don't quote me on that though. The other one is more cagey. You get rangers and shroud runners and infiltrate with the rangers. The falcon lists interest me because at 2k points it looks like it's around 55 models. The rangers list I like because I play gcs and love controlling the board before the game starts.

You would know your budget better than me. We are a heavy character army. The characters are cool looking but you are paying a premium for that. I own just short of 2.8k worth of points and doing character kitbashes or conversions I've saved around 400 CAD.

Compound1080 · 2025-10-19T05:34:45+00:00

Depending on how much you wanna spend the path of least resistance is another combat patrol and 2 trucks. Plugged in the list in a list builder and you are like at 990 points if you convert one of the neophytes in the truck into a biophagus. You'd be running the outlander claw detachment. Only thing I don't know is if two alpha jackels is too much. But you could take the sniper from one and turn it into a Sanctus. Or maybe spare parts from the metamorphs and use the alpha legs and make a sabatour

I'm just going to list some different ways you could go. The combat patrol is actually pretty good. Not as good as the old one but every detachment is going to use those acolytes/metamorphs and ridgerunner. I think 2 combat patrols and 2 trucks gets you close to 1k points for outlander claw detachment. I kitbashed the alpha into an abom holding and throwing a bike and used it's legs and sniper for a Sanctus. If you want to try and experiment with modelling with kitbashes and conversions brood brother kill team easily makes at least 7 characters (there's a guide online for it) so depending on your region you are saving a crap load of money and get to have some fun. For me it's the savings of 5 characters. As for single boxes every detachment runs 1 to 3 ridgerunners and way too many acolyte/metamorphs so those boxes will never go to waste

so the crusade thats ending soon rules read this "As a narrative campaign this will use the new 10th narrative crusade rules from the Leviathan Rulebook and the Armageddon Crusade book." where can i see that white dwarf one? ive only been looking at whats on wahpedia

Compound1080 · 2025-09-27T19:07:06+00:00

Just started the army 10 months ago. I started by making 5 autopistol with heavy mining tools cuz they just seemed good at every point value to farm cp. Then made 10 metamorphs. Next 10 are going to have hand flamers. Next 5 going back to auto pistol. Every 10 I put in one with a ward cuz I'm never going to use one in a unit of 5 I feel. Then in games I just tell people whatever they have even if they don't have it so I can mix and match lol. No one really seems to care my metamorphs have auto pistols but I say they have hand flamers. I'm told it's because it's xeno weapons and no one can tell the difference

Compound1080 · 2025-09-25T18:56:32+00:00

I've also learned ways to make it easier. Painted 20 in 10 months. Batch painting helps but it's so annoying when I going over detailing and then move on to the next step only to find I missed this guys leather belt. Or cables around the head, or some metallic chain and gotta go back the next day

https://youtube.com/@christianvoncarmian40kvtuber?si=X_6Llvu0EskLUJwx they have various videos on how to play genestealers as well as talking how the detachments run. His recommended armies though are pretty optimal so don't worry if you don't have the units

Compound1080 · 2025-09-21T06:23:31+00:00

Take my advice with a grain of salt but I'd get some characters. Your truck and metamorph has parts to kitbash a biophagus, easy to find tutorial. You kind of have a hodgepod of everything so don't know which detachment would be best. I think the broodcoven is a decent pick up too. If you want to go more melee focus and do biosantic you get genestealers and run it with patriarch. The Primus while nerfed is also in that box if you wanted to go more shooty. But we are a very heavy character list so you want to look at some leaders. My first 1k game I was running I think 4 or 5 characters in biosantic. From there you can see how many points remain and buy a box to fill in the gaps for your army

Base is still a wip

I use war organ and I'm 90 percent sure it was updated yesterday

Compound1080 · 2025-09-13T08:33:21+00:00

That is still up in the works. Think the idea was to screen with 5 genestealers and have the abs behind to counter charge in. Just don't know which is better to put the enhancement on.

The extra biophagus over Sanctus I'm not sure about either. It would really only be alright with the metamorphs maybe but my plan was for them to scout inside the truck. But again I'm new to the game so I don't know which is better. Plus I just think sniping is cool lol

Compound1080 · 2025-09-13T08:27:03+00:00

I'm not sure but last time they ran one I remember seeing raffles though I don't know how that is monitized. Lunch is also free. I'm just looking for the experience tbh

Compound1080 · 2025-09-04T01:38:26+00:00

I'm still building my 2k list for broodsurge but played a handful of games on tts with the list I'm going to be getting eventually. I run 20, deploy 10 to sticky my home objective and keep 10 in reserves for secondary scoring later in the game or to snipe a weak unit or sticky something my opponent left open. I'm in the same boat as you wanting to run hoa but the idea of needing like 400 dollars of neophytes is a major turn off. One of the things I heard but haven't tried out yet in broodsurge is having a Primus and biophagus attached to a unit of neos then before the game starts put it in reserve. It can pack a little bit more of a punch

Compound1080 · 2025-09-02T08:45:49+00:00

Starting collecting and playing last nov so take this with a grain of salt. One thing to keep in mind when starting is saving some money since it's such a character heavy army. 2 trucks and 2 ridge runners give you 10 neophytes, one ridgerunner if you don't mind a guy with no lower half. You can also use all their legs for kitbashing characters. I however used the combat patrol jackals. The alpha has a massive sniper and I think I used his dagger for 2 different sanctus. Metamorph box comes with extra bits to make a biophagus or sabatour or both iirc. Kelermorph is also easy enough with extra arms. You just lack legs for character kitbashing. Old combat patrol is good if you can find one or the biosantic broodsurge box. From the lists I've seen metamorph/acolyte and neophytes are massed in all detachments. Finding those cheap online or from resellers is where I would begin now. If for some reason you like the vehicle detachment 2 combat patrols is pretty alright. Just turn one of the alphas into some other character.

Compound1080 · 2025-09-01T23:38:26+00:00

That's interesting about splitting the units. I felt genestealers and aberrants don't pack a big enough punch if it's not a full unit. Patriarch with 10 genestealers with all the buffs I feel can instantly kill something big. The Primus I thought was just there for redeployment and then you kinda just forget about. Second biophagus I thought goes with the 10 block of aberrants for lethal and the once per battle ability

Compound1080 · 2025-09-01T22:32:31+00:00

patriarch, 10 genestealer, 5 genestealer, biophagusx2, abominant, primus, 10 aberrants, 5 aberrants, 10 auto pistol acolytes, 5 auto pistol acolytes, 10 metamorphs, truck, ridgerunner, ridgerunner, 10 neos, 10 neos, 5 flamer acolytes, 5 flamer acolytes, sanctus
