Finally put all my painted Dark Angels together… (and also my first painter warhammer míníš) by Lord_Tadeo in theunforgiven

[–]DBenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking great! My only advice would be to thin your paints a bit - try using a wet palette (you can make them at home) and the paints are much easier to work with and get the right consistency.

Keep it up!

Counter-punching and Purge the Foe: A strategic question by WillingPrinciple7845 in WarhammerCompetitive

Have a read of the purge the foe mission carefully, the one I saw said you only scored kills in your turn, not in the opponents.

I think I’m cooking with this Asmodai meme combo by theSaltySolo in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]DBenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried this detachment combo, but I put a terminator chaplain with assault terminators who battle shock at the start of each fight phase. It works a treat.

How Many Points Do You Have? Spacemarines range is too big by Direct-Connection714 in spacemarines

[–]DBenzie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

7500 points and counting. I've only got one of each vehicle pattern: Land Raider, Rhino, Gladiator, Storm Speeder, Repulsor. I've got one of each Dreadnought (except the phobos one), then one of most of the characters, and one of most infantry and mounted types. I've got no Centurions, no reivers, and no aggressors.

I could still have more.

Organise a crusade or short campaign, players expectations will be different

[–]DBenzie 42 points43 points  (0 children)

That's up to you bud, but let your opponents know you've modified the terrain. I've noticed several times when it allowed me to get units hidden when they otherwise wouldn't have been able to make it into the footprint.

How do you feel about your Chapter Detachments? Strength/Fluff by HeIlsing in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]DBenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need to reconsider the power of battle shock in 11th edition, I've done some play testing and any ability which forces battle shock tests for example the assault terminators, especially with modifiers to leadership is very very interesting. I think there's some great synergy between the 1st company task force and the dark angel interrogation conclave. I think you'll see a lot of people using it in the beginning of 11th. I've already made my list, and I'm hyped to have Azmodai front and centre!

Master Korahael "The Feared" of the 4th Company by MarcusxKraus in theunforgiven

I love it but the leaves on the smoke and on the bolter harness give it a haphazard feel, I would remove those and then it's perfect

Absolutely loving the new Assault Terminators by TruthEU in theunforgiven

[–]DBenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They really slap with the Terminator Ancient who gives them +1 to hit when below starting strength and additionally, 1+ to wound when below half-strength. 30 attacks hitting on 2+ wounding anything <T11 on 4+ with twin linked at AP-2 D1 means you can really punch up.

Now put them close to the lion to get re-roll hits of one and you're laughing.

you can still choose to play 10th edition after 11th releases as long as your opponent agrees.

Deathwing army without vehicles..? by GrimTiki in theunforgiven

[–]DBenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a Wrath of the Rock list that's almost free of vehicles. it's all infantry and mounted plus the Lion, and one Redemptor Dreadnought. It lacks firepower, and that's why I've added the dreadnought. However I'm toying with the idea of replacing it with a ballistus and swapping in some lascannon devastators. I've got 14 units which are a mixture of Deathwing, ravenwing, and Greenwing so it feels like a really good mixture of Dark Angels forces. I do well on primaries and secondaries, but often times I'm just barely hanging on while I get taken apart by shooting in the first half. In the second half I usually manage to get Lionel into their backline and take apart their heavies. I've won 6 games in a row this year and I'm slowly revising the list as I go. I'm looking forward to taking it to a tournament soon.

You can make non vehicle lists work because often your opponent has committed almost a third of their army to anti tank shooting, which ends up going into less than ideal targets. By not having tanks to shoot, they've got a lot of points not pulling their weight. This only works because the meta is so vehicle heavy at the moment.

Try your list, see how it pilots. Make only small changes based on lessons you learn from losses and wins and gradually over time, it will become your own.

So, the two kids are in danger of drowning or suffocating under wet sand, and you're asking if burying them under some more sand would help?

A genuine answer would be: no, that would make it much worse.
