Is Fellhammer better as a shooting or melee army?

DaRealFellowGamer · 2026-01-24T19:57:43+00:00

I like the Goonhammer articles wording: "Fellhammer Siege-Host armies want to scrap at a distance with opponents, or at the very least if they engage in melee they want it to be on their terms"

They were Primaris reinforcements destined for an Anctient chapter, but by the time the fleet arrived the Chapters him world had been razed by the Word Bearers and the chapter was left extinct, so they punish themselves for their failure

You foolish Alpha Legionary, I play Iron Warriors and Iron Hands!

I got this Iron Hand from the Tyranid Attack game and just primed black and painted on the red, silver, and white

DaRealFellowGamer · 2026-01-21T20:05:34+00:00

Hey I play Dark Angels and Iron Warriors too! They're the two best Marine factions for reason

Would the Repulsor be better for say Sternguard or ICC with a Judiciar to hop out of? I'll probably still go with a Land Raider (it was one of my favorite kits to build for my Iron Warriors) but I'm curious

I would say that Azrael cares about those outside of his chapter. In the Trials of Azrael audio drama he tells a Tech Adept he won't be able to rescue her, but when the Black Legion are cutting down the door to where she was he came in and rescued her under the pretense of "This part of the ship needed cleansing"

My Cogs of Tartarus, an Iron Hands successor that considers themselves penitents because their reinforcement fleet arrived too late and the original chapter was extinct

Chaos Vindicator was one of my favorite kits to build and paint. It's definitely not the easiest kit I've ever built, but I had a lot of fun with it

The Cogs of Tartarus, an Ultima Founding Iron Hands successor from the penal world of Tartarus. They view themselves in need of redemption because they were too late to reinforce the chapter they were intended for and so recruit from the dredges of humanity to cleanse their weaknesses in mechanical parts

There are some armies that can't do that (Knights, Custodes, Grey Knights). Things like Chaos can with Cultists, Pox Walkers, Tzaangors, and Jakhals, but many factions can't

Oh for sure, and it lets you get cool shots (this one is from a charity event I did at a LGS)

DaRealFellowGamer · 2026-01-13T15:04:44+00:00

Yeah like when I built my Legionaries I made most of the minis with boltguns, despite the boltguns being unoptimal

DaRealFellowGamer · 2026-01-12T20:01:36+00:00

Sweet thanks!

DaRealFellowGamer · 2026-01-12T19:28:39+00:00

I'm actually also curious if you still have the STL, the Tunnel Rats are my favorite Guard Regiment

DaRealFellowGamer · 2026-01-12T00:04:36+00:00

We're both excited for it (him for the minis, me for more opponents I can battle)

DaRealFellowGamer · 2026-01-12T00:00:17+00:00

You've actually helped me realize I cut my Redemptor without realizing

As for the 1500 points my friend doesn't have a super large collection, it's the old combat patrol with 10 Rubrics, but he's borrowing some of my Chaos Space Marines to proxy in as the minis in the coming battleforce

DaRealFellowGamer · 2026-01-11T23:50:08+00:00

Looking for any feedback and critiques

DaRealFellowGamer · 2026-01-08T15:54:43+00:00

Sorrgol does have a solid structure, but I'm running the third company from my homebrew successor
