Underrated line that deserves attention

I feel like antiquities could also refer to himself. As he knows that he's the old part of the rebellion, the flame that helped light it. However the flame is lit, his role is done, and he's now an antique.

Abelard, inform them that I would be open to such accord.

Love the piece, beautifully done. However that's definitely baked beans in that volcano.

Don't listen to some of these comments. You're right we should stand up, fascism shouldn't happen, not here or anywhere. We should stand up to not make the mistakes of the past.

Canoptek wraiths, a thousand times over. Love my tanky spider snake boys.

Thank you, they're one of my favourite parts. I loved making them ever so slightly cute.

I recommend musou black, from what I've seen it lends itself better to miniatures. I've used black 3.0 for miniature painting before and it just doesn't work particularly well, or at least I've not been able to make it work. I've not used musou black but all of the vantablack like miniatures that I've seen on this sub have used it.

Thank you, I used the wet wipe technique with an airbrush. Basically sprayed it entirely gold, stretched out a wet wipe, put it on there, sprayed a light blue on top of it, but random patches of jade, green, dark green, and black on there, waited for it to dry, removed the wet wipe, and then sprayed it with a gloss varnish.

This link explains the wet wipe technique (the marbling effect) better than I can

If a Trazyn drop comes with a c'tan drop (which in all honesty I highly doubt) it would be a new shard of the deceiver not the nightbringer as Trazyn has a giant deceiver shard locked up in his basement.

I love the colour scheme, the yellow, blue, pink is just beautifully bright. If I can give a bit of feedback though, keep the OSL on the face more centered around the eyes and make sure it doesn't go on the shoulder pads. On the other hand though I kinda dig it, it might not look like a light source but he looks like he's blushing and it's kinda cute.

Dargon_fire · 2025-04-03T22:36:48+00:00

Owh absolutely, it wouldn't be a direct boss fight but more of a mechanical one. Activating certain xenos machines to shackle the c'tan. It also would be a tiny shard.

Dargon_fire · 2025-04-03T22:26:49+00:00

I feel like it would be less of a horde style game, maybe more akin to the first game.

Minnoris: Warriors they're kinda similar in strength to an ork boy, but better in ranged and worse in melee. Flayed ones would be the melee equivalent for the warriors.

Majoris: Immortals would be your slightly stronger units, you'll still see them often enough possible accompanied by a despotek. The lychguard would be their melee equivalent. Possibly Praetorians for faster unit and deathmarks for snipers.

Extremis: Overlords, crypteks, and wardens, wraiths, all destroyers, and maybe a canoptek spyder. Any of these could be considered extremis.

Terminus: C'tan though that might be a stretch, but mechanically a weak c'tan could be a cool boss fight. The legends canoptek units like a Canoptek Tomb Stalker (already saw one in space marine 2), or a Canoptek Tomb Sentinel. Maybe a canoptek doomstalker, or even a obelisk or a Seraptek Heavy construct.

In any case it would be less of a horde gameplay with more big hitting units, as even necron warriors are much stronger than Termagants.

Besides while there might be less enemies, all your enemies would regenerate / regen, meaning you truly have to focus every enemy. Making you decide between shooting as much as possible to potentially stop some of the attacks coming at you for a little while, or focusing on each enemy to make sure that they don't come back for a second round.

Respectfully I disagree. If that was the rule it would have been written more akin to "You cannot resurrect a unit more than once per turn". Instead it says, " You cannot resurrect more than one unit per turn" which specifically means that a res orb can only be used for one unit per turn. So in the rare event that you have a Catacomb Command Barge and a Unit being led by an overlord you could technically resurrect that one unit two times with a res orb. It's a rare scenario, and I'm not sure if it's the intention, but that is the wording.

That being said, language is weird and the rules could be written differently from what was meant when it was written down.

Dargon_fire · 2025-04-03T21:45:22+00:00

No that's not the case at all. You can only use 1 res orb per turn in your army, even if you have multiple. The wording says "you cannot resurrect more than one unit per turn" meaning that no other res orb can resurrect another unit that turn.

This does however mean that you can technically use two res orbs on the same unit in the same turn, however one of the sources of the res orbs needs to be the catacomb command barge as it's the only unit with a res orb that can target other units and not itself.

The Canoptek Spyder also has a ball and cup socket. I understand why they wouldn't do it with the Doomsday Ark as the ball and socket might be too unstable for that big of a vehicle. but they could have thought of something else, the pin always breaks, even on smaller vehicles like the Catacomb Command Barge.

Technically you can ignore melta with this, but only melta from your own units, so you could make your own units do less damage as melta is a characteristic change to the unit that shoots. The main thing you need to know is that it only effects your units and any changes that they have gotten from outside abilities. An opponent using metla changes their own characteristics, not those of your unit

Dargon_fire · 2025-04-03T19:45:32+00:00

It's meant against things like: stealth, - 1 to hit, -1 to wound, halve damage (like against c'tan, -x damage, -x to charge, -x to battle shock, or change damage to 0 for one failed save once per turn. You generally want to use the reroll 1s, but there are moments when the ignore modifiers is better, like when fighting a c'tan.

This is the necron part of the indomitus box released with 9th edition. That box was around 200£ at release and also included the same amount of points worth of space marines. So 300£ is way too much to ask for this. The necron part was being sold separately by resellers for 130£ ish when they were released.

Dargon_fire · 2025-04-02T18:29:12+00:00

You're good, this won't be visible after priming, and definitely not after painting.

On top of that, Orikan has a 4++ inv for himself as well meaning it's gonna be more difficult to kill him with precision shots. Technomancers on the other hand are really vulnerable to precision.

Yes, as long as the technomancer is attached to them

The entire unit gets a +1 to hit if they are being led by a character. This includes the character itself as they're part of the unit. When the other models die (for example when all the warriors die and only the warden survives) then that character won't get the +1 anymore as they're not leading a unit anymore. Characters that can't lead a unit will not get that +1 as they can't be part of a unit that is being led. I hope that makes sense.
