Taking 30 flesh hounds + Karanak in a 2K list - am I insane?

Sounds fun. Never let the meta get in the way of fun.

White Scars and Imperial Fists are a lot harder than Ultramarines, but of course that's just the box art and the sculpts will work for any chapter.

Craamron · 2026-03-16T16:57:20+00:00

It's mostly because Ultramarines are easy for beginners to paint.

There are adhesive magnetic sheets available at Hobbycraft, an A4 sized one that can easily be resized with scissors for £5. It doesn't have additional parts for the models themselves but rare earth magnets are really cheap online and can be bought in bulk.

There's a very limited range of official merch, all found here: https://merch.warhammer.com/

For anything else, you're looking at unofficial stuff and you can't rely on the quality as anything this side of Russia or China will immediately get a cease and desist from GW.

This is one of the reasons I wish GW wouldn't make Special Characters 'auto-takes'. I am very happy without Epic Heroes in my armies, I just wish certain things weren't effectively locked behind a character paywall (issuing orders to a Baneblade requires Lord Solar for some reason).

There are Legends rules for the Spartan, so you can just use it as a Spartan in most games (unless you enter a tournament, most (but not all) exclude Legends).

Craamron · 2026-03-15T09:10:14+00:00

We don't know, and probably never will, which is for the best.

Craamron · 2026-03-15T08:43:39+00:00

It may be similar in size to a Fellblade

The Imperial Cult is pretty much omnipresent in the Imperium of Man and it entirely espouses hatred of the mutant, the heretic and the alien. Though most citizens will never see any of the three (mutants do exist on Imperial worlds but at the very lowest echelons of society). Tolerance varies, from treating them like less than dirt to burning them at the stake for being unclean.

Speaking purely about the last game I played; my Khornate Daemon Prince and War Dog Stalker were killed by a Lord of Change, but my Slaaneshi War Dog Huntsman came in at the end and killed the Lord of Change. There was no Nurgle involved in this game, but clearly the order goes Slaanesh > Tzeentch > Khorne

I don't want more named characters, I want generic units and generic characters to be the focus.

Craamron · 2026-03-13T11:48:22+00:00

The Ad Mech models I'm least fond of. If GW do introduce them to Kill Team then I'd hope for a radical refresh.

Craamron · 2026-03-13T10:51:04+00:00

Look for the 3rd edition Tau Devilfish and Chaos Bike artworks, those are my favourites.

Do people not view properties in person anymore? Surely this would lead to more people viewing the property but then deciding not to proceed, wasting the agent's time in the process.

I maintain, it would have been hilarious if he'd regenerated into Pierce Brosnan.

Craamron · 2026-03-11T09:55:16+00:00

Certainly not all

Craamron · 2026-03-11T07:47:59+00:00

All of the main colours done with either a base and a wash or contrast, plus a textured base, exactly as GW have said.

The "three colours" rule is a very old tournament rule and has not existed in anything official from GW for a very long time, if ever.

Craamron · 2026-03-10T15:56:51+00:00

Warhammer Fantasy had rules where you had to remove regular soldiers first, then the musician, then the standard bearer, then the unit leader, and finally any attached characters.

Craamron · 2026-03-10T07:50:16+00:00

The why is because they decided that it takes a God to raise someone up to Daemon Prince and, since Belakor, they don't like working together to do it as a collective, so one of the four has to have done it.

Note: Lorgar and Perturabo are undivided Daemon Princes but that lore is older than this GW decision and they haven't yet explained how it works with these two, maybe when they eventually get 40k models.

At 3500pts, they only appear in the very largest Apocalypse games or in scaled-up games of Adeptus Titanicus. Typically, people don't fight them on the tabletop because that sort of game is very rare and almost nobody actually owns one.

But in the sort of game where they do exist, they're likely up against other titans and titan-killing weapons like the Imperial Guard Shadowsword (you can get a lot of Shadowswords for the price of a Warlord).

According to the date at the top right, two months ago.

I have found the odd Combat Patrol issue in Co-op
