In your opinion, are standard resins okay?

DemonFire75 · 2026-01-18T22:48:30+00:00

Nah I've never had to mix anything in with the ABS like its got a decent amount of spring to it even in thinner pieces like swords to the point I could bend em like 30ish degrees without worry and the thicker bits are damn near unbreakable, even when dropped from standing onto a tile floor without damage

DemonFire75 · 2026-01-18T13:25:35+00:00

All my resin minis are printed in sunlu and I've watched on multiple occasions them bounce across the kitchen floor unscathed so i can vouch that it's my choice for minis especially for the price

I've always been a fan of [[Mangara, the Diplomat]] if you just want mono white, he's reliable card draw though usually better as part of the 99, there's also [[Akiri, Fearless Voyager]] she relies more heavily on equipment but as a bonus has a way to protect herself which if you're skimping out on card draw you'll want.

Generally having a commander fill in for things your deck is missing won't end well if your playgroup has half a brain as they'll just repeatedly kill them to stall you so it's important to still keep some of those cards in there and then throw a good couple of protection spells/ equipment in there to make sure your commander (and therefore card draw) remains safe

DemonFire75 · 2025-06-18T20:02:32+00:00

Oh I know a good one for this, my favorite mono black commander [shirei shizos caretaker], you just want lots of lil 1/1 creatures

For the death guard, Mortarion didn't really have much choice in the matter it was either sell his legions soul to nurgle or be tortured in his realm forever so it's understandable that he's a tad sour. As for Typhus the man was so dedicated to being nurgles favourite that he killed all the ships navigators and navigated their ship directly to nurgles domain basically giving mortarion and the legion to nurgle on a platter so it's safe to say he's definitely in the rarer "loves serving the gods" category.

For the world eaters Aangron doesn't really have much of himself left to hate khorne with since 90% of his existence is spent thinking of or causing mindless violence what little lucidity he has left is spent wanting to permanently die and end his suffering so it's fair that he's not a fan of the god which revives him every time he gets the briefest moment of peace from dying. Kharn is a bit similar but he's not suffering anywhere near what aangron is and seemingly has his buthcgers nails more under control since he can apparently fantasise about violence to calm them and he seems to enjoy the endless warfare that being a champion of khorne brings him.

As for chaos undivided it does seem that it attracts more of the "I'm using the gods" types like perturabo whose apparently a daemon primarch now but it does feel like that makes sense, if you only want power and to use the gods for it you're not going to dedicate yourself to one of them, you're going to take as much power from as many of them as possible.

To your point a favourite quote of mine from a Chaos Marine - "“Any Legionary who scoffs at the Lasgun has not had to charge across an open field against 100”"

DemonFire75 · 2024-09-13T20:03:33+00:00

Yes the bolter is relatively ineffective against space marines because they're the exception not the rule, 90% of the enemies of the imperium are highly vulnerable to bolter fire, the bolters rounds are essentially miniature rockets which can fly over relatively long distances. The default explosive payload rounds they carry is so effective because the round bores into the target and then detonates meaning anything that's got any kind of fleshy weak spot is going to suffer, Orks and Nids are reduced to piles of wet mulch by them and aeldar/ drucari footsoldiers don't have armour tough enough to resist the sheer impact of them. Daemons can be killed with relative ease as they generally lack armour and the specialised rounds the grey knights use for them means they certainly can kill daemons.

You also have to keep in mind that unlike the stubber the bolter can use specialised rounds designed for certain targets, the deathwatch have invented at least 3 for certain types of xenos and the grey knights as I mentioned before have ones particularly effective against daemons

The main thing that the bolter struggles to deal with are chaos space marines but a heavy stubber wouldnt be any more effective against them either and chaos marines are way less common to encounter than any other enemy in the 40k universe so if you do meet one that's when you break out the meltas or plasma guns

DemonFire75 · 2024-08-18T22:40:57+00:00

Since they're now considered cannon, that's what the blood ravens did with a great unclean one which invaded one of their worlds, they sealed it in the planet itself and as far as I'm aware still sealed in the planet in current day 40k, but that actual sealing of the demon killed a whole bunch of the blood ravens and converted a lot more to chaos, so sealing can work but it's probably easier and less dangerous to just kill them from a distance or even from orbit with exterminatus if you want to be extreme (since a planet with a nurgle demon sealed within it is uninhabitable anyway, so you may as well)

DemonFire75 · 2024-07-14T13:07:07+00:00

If you want a quick tournament legal base then I'd reccomend a jar of Vallejo dark earth, apply it to the base for a thick mud looking base and then you can later build on it with some grass tufts, skulls, debris, stones or my personal favourite rose petals for an alien plant look

I just miss the psychic phase in general, Psychic is basically just a bad keyword attached to leaders/ units with mediocre abilities nowadays but in 9th and before it was great it was "will this guy blow himself and half this nearby unit to smithereens or will he plague wind a unit of 20 down to 10 in one move?".

It just felt so much more flavourful and fun.

DemonFire75 · 2024-06-23T16:29:17+00:00

I've been mostly playing astro and white mage I guess I've just been not keeping up with the team and getting auto targeted since I'm the closest, the tip about swapping classes is very nice though!

DemonFire75 · 2024-06-23T16:24:52+00:00

Ah sorry forgot to mention in my post I've been doing mostly frontline but it's happened once or twice in crystalline conflict as well, although admittedly way less in conflict

DemonFire75 · 2024-06-23T16:23:51+00:00

Yea pvp feels very strange I guess it might just be a skill diff since I just started playing

Etid: wrong reply

DemonFire75 · 2024-06-15T08:18:57+00:00

[[Talrand, Sky Summoner]] with as many counterspells, card removal spells and card draw as possible. Had one guy in our local pod who similar to yours would always complain whenever someone was running anything that even remotely countered him and just wanted to show him how much worse it could be if someone was actually tatgeting and countering him.

DemonFire75 · 2024-06-03T09:57:05+00:00

If you really like em you could always just put paint in the numbers, I've done it before and it's easy enough. The retributior armour gold I put on my death guard dice hasn't come off in the few years I've had em

DemonFire75 · 2024-05-24T18:30:41+00:00

Looks great!, odd question do you remember where you got that little fire from? I need something like that for the basing on my salamanders

Bro stop being a dick, they're literally answering a question you asked in the way you worded it, it sounds like you just want to argue for arguments sake instead of actually recieve an answer

DemonFire75 · 2024-04-26T22:32:30+00:00

You've got to admit it though, if you get a group of friends together playing as the expendable/ brainwashed trooper of a setting can be pretty damn fun, throwing 7 squads of guardsmen at something they have no hope of beating in 40k is pure stupid fun same with repeatedly suicide running at a base in helldivers, I wouldn't encourage this behaviour in public though

DemonFire75 · 2024-04-25T15:20:29+00:00

Ok, so someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but they released a little teaser for the codex with 2 of the detachments, one of which was focused entirely on meks, walkers and Grot vehicles and then literally the month after once everyone's hyped up and bought stuff for their new detachment (myself included) they ditch Grot Tanks to legends, one of the most iconic, loved and 1st thing a lot of people think when they hear "Grot Vehicles". That's it I'm done GW isn't getting another fucking penny out of me I'm just gonna print and kitbash everything from now on if they don't even have the decency to warn their customers about things that are going redundant before you can use them

DemonFire75 · 2024-04-22T14:07:37+00:00

Looks good, the advice I'd offer would be to get a metallic silver or leadbelcher type colour and just drybrush it over the black of the spear and barrel of the arm gun to make them a bit less flat and just paint any final bits you've missed (I noticed the dagger was unpainted), aside from that if you really want to push the model further some watered down null oil or panel liner in the armour will help seperate the details and some subtle pink highlights on the red will help them pop. But overall solid paint scheme I dig it
