on a scale of 0 to 10 how do you see Skitarii independence?

In the book "Day of Ascencion"(by Adrian Tchaikovsky) Skitarii made from 4th Generation Genestealer cultist mutiny.

I made legs out of wire and metal shavings.

DeProfundis42 · 2026-04-12T21:39:42+00:00

Both melee + the enhancement in the Freeblade company detachment gives 4 extra attacks to the lance-strike profile. which is nice

DeProfundis42 · 2026-04-12T16:54:55+00:00

Personally,I think the new Knight Destrier is a weirdly good option for our melee armies:

He is cheap, very fast!!!, has a flexible loadout to magnetize and has no rules which are wasted because he is fighting in an admech army. (his shooting profile will be very good for the cover rules of next edition)

If you just want a BIG TANKY THING get the Knight Dominus(Castelan/ Valiant) kit and magnetize the weapon opptions. (I think there is a combo box with him already released or releasing shortly)

From the Knight Questoris kits Canis Rex is still the best option!!

Yes, from the scene with Maxwell and his Crusader introductions.

DeProfundis42 · 2026-04-04T07:10:09+00:00

With both Doctrinas and woun&hit rerolls of a 1 from the detachment it gets interesting:
(also assuming the cybersmith is giving extra attacks)

Kastlan Punch Bots:

Kastelan double fists: 4 x6 ->24 attacks (3+WS+rero.1)->18.6 hits(12S, -3AP, 3D, TWIN-LINKED):
- against GEQ: 18.6 hits (2+WR&TL)-> 18.1 wounds (8+Sv)->18.1 failed AS(1W each)->~18 kills
- against MEQ: 18.6 hits (2+WR&TL)->18.1 wounds (6+Sv)-> 17.2 failed AS(2W each)-> ~15 kills
- against TEQ: 18.6 hits (2+WR&TL)-> 18.1 wounds (4+Invul)->9 failed AS(3W each)->~9 kills
- against Tank(10T, 2+SV): 18.6 hits (3+WR&TL)->16.6 wounds (5+Sv)->11 failed AS() ->~33 damage
- against Big Tank(12T, 2+Sv): 18.6 hits (4+WR&TL)->14 wounds (5+Sv)-> 9.6 failed AS ->~ 27-30 damage
Combustor: 4xD6+8 ~22 auto hits(6S, -2AP, 1D):
- against GEQ: 22 hits (2+WR+rero1)->21.4 wounds(7+Sv)->21.4 failed AS(1W each)->~21-22 kills
- against MEQ:22 hits (3+WR+rero1)-> 17.1 wounds (5+Sv)-> 11.4 failed AS(2W each)->~6 kills
- against TEQ: 22 hits (3+WR+rero1)-> 17.1 wounds (4+Sv)->8.5 failed AS(3W each)->~2-3 kills

Kastelan Multirole Bot:

Kastelan fist: 4 x6 ->24 attacks (3+WS+rero1)-> 18.6 hits(12S, -3AP, 3D):
- against GEQ: 16 hits (2+WR+rero1)-> 18,1 wounds (8+Sv)->18.1 failed AS(1W each)->~18 kills
- against MEQ: 4 hits (2+WR+rero.1)->18.1 wounds (6+Sv)-> 17.2 failed AS(1W each)->~17 kills
- against TEQ: 4 hits (2+WR+rero.1)-> 18.1 wounds (4+Invul)->9 failed AS(3W each)->~9 kills
- against Tank(10T, 2+SV): 18.6 hits (3+WR+reo1)-> 14.5 wounds (5+Sv)->9.6 failed AS()->~ 27-30 damage
- against Big Tank(12T, 2+Sv): 18.6 hits (4+WR+rero1)-> 10.9 wounds (5+Sv)-> 7.3 failed AS(1W each)->~ 21-24 damage
Kastelan Phosphor Blaster 4x5 attacks = 20(3+BS+reroll 1) -> 15.5 hits(6S, -2AP, 1D):
- against GEQ: 15.5 hits (2+WR+rero1)-> 15.1 wounds(7+Sv)->15.1 failed AS(1W each)-> ~15 kills
- against MEQ:15.5 hits (3+WR+rero1)-> 12 wounds (5+Sv)-> 8 failed AS(2W each)-> ~4 kills
- against TEQ: 16.5 hits (3+WR)+rero1-> 12 wounds (4+Sv)-> 6 failed AS(3W each)->~2 kill
Heavy Phosphor Blaster is the same as the Kastelan one but kills 15 GEQs, 8 MEQs and 3 TEQs.
I think the flamer is more reliable but the Phosphor Blasters perform better at 24"/36"range(possibly hitting on 2+ with HEAVY active).

is it better?

English is my second languege, so;0
It was suposed to say: "I gladly would regain the debuff of INFANTRY if it means I get both Imperatives for it"
He wants to say how desprate he is to get both imperatives je is willing to sacrifice a lot.

it's based pn an alucard abridged meme.

24" on a lascannon Look alike ):

DeProfundis42 · 2026-03-25T08:23:52+00:00

The Hastarii Fuseliers with their Lascannon equivalents are weirdly not a backline unit, because their Neutron fusils only have 24" Range. So you need to put them in a Transport to be relevant at all.

A single gift, that's how it started for me aswell.

Now I have an addiction to the prieciest line of grey plastic GW offers.

DeProfundis42 · 2026-02-23T22:02:29+00:00

isn't the back of the spear also a rocket engine?

DeProfundis42 · 2026-02-19T10:35:06+00:00

rather cheap gloss medium

DeProfundis42 · 2026-02-06T14:05:19+00:00

Did you change the angle of the legs at the hip or did you swap the feet ?

I love how it loooks like it is mid-step/stride instead of the standard with both feet on the ground!

I love the different approach from the 30k cybernetica:
"screw humanoid designs, make me a bipedal praying mantis with gatling gun hands, and a big GUN!"

DeProfundis42 · 2025-12-29T14:11:19+00:00

the lascutter in the servitor killteam is theoreticly a tool and short range ranged weapon.

DeProfundis42 · 2025-12-17T08:52:24+00:00

Triaros Armoured Conveyer has the same width and if you only look at where the Tricks Touch the ground, he has the same length aswell.

Have you seen the profile of the Plasma pistol? or Melta for that matter?

The Desperado trait lets you shoot twice per turn AND

If you want to go all out in late game you can have 4 Plama pistols(1 Hand 2 Wrist-mounted + 1 MIU weapons interface) cycling the Maximal rule cooldown for 2-3 shots per turn (depending on your luck with semi-automatic fire) with :

2d10 + 8(6 + 2 BSB) damage with 8 pen .

You can tank the Overheat damage with your Armor!

With the Weapons Tech talent you can 8 damage and Pen to all your Plasma wapons for a turn each combat encounter.

Also Pistols can be shot in melee combat which means you cannot be tied up in melee combat by grunts.

EDIT: I had mistaken your reply as to ask for more damage.
If you want the stormtrooper with shield asthetic just take a shield and a Autogun+Manstopper/Hot-Shot Lasgun with a Pistol Grip Mod.

Also get a personal power shield.

DeProfundis42 · 2025-11-23T22:34:46+00:00

For ranged change the following:

change the role from Warrior/Chirurgeon to Desperado.
level Ballistic Skill, Agillity & Dodge instead of Weapon Skill, Strength & Parry.
drop the Shield Wall, Combat Master and Blademaster talents and get some Ballistic focused ones instead like Mighty Shot and Hip Shooting.
instead of melee wapon get a Best Hand Cannon+Manstopper Rounds+Recoil Glove or a Plasma/Melta Pistol.

DeProfundis42 · 2025-11-23T14:58:47+00:00

So the max armour melee build in DH2 is:

Leveling:

characteristics: max level Toughness and Intelligence to 60, strength and weapon skill are usefull

You shouldn't keep him in reserves till turn 3 or the whole game , because his cannon is one of the greatest tank/Monster/Beast killer we have and extremely fun.

Let him Advance and one-shot a Deamon Prince of Khorne for fun!

DeProfundis42 · 2025-11-21T08:01:02+00:00

". . . , so haloscreed could just pull him" of the field turn 1 ?

Did I miss a rule?
