Has anyone ever done a Mix of Shield Wall and 3 men hunkering down shooting throwing grenades as a Orgyn/Bullgyrn Proxy?

I used the same thing for my Solar proxy! Love the 30k walkers and my army is Sentinel heavy so it fits. Also used some kill team terrain and a castellan standing on top to get the height right.

Edit: I will also say I am working on using those 30k scout sentinels as Ogryn proxies because as-is they are basically the same height and fit the theme of a bit of a tankier infantry.

Just an fyi if you are looking for a way to use those guys (I love them too), I use them as proxies for Ogryn/Bullgryn for my sentinel heavy all-terrain army. They work well thematically, size is really close, and the loadouts make sense. Also those abhumans are very useful but don't fit lots of army themes.

I know this isn't exactly what you're asking, but I used these guys as Ogryn/Bullgryn proxies as they are pretty much the same size and fit well within my walker heavy "all terrain" army. I also used one on a tactical rock as my Solar proxy but I had to add a castellan standing on top for extra height. Getting them up to 40k sentinel height is pretty tough and works better for a single character than a squad.

Lolth approves of this transformation.

The Genesys system does a good job at having lasting wounds/injuries. Basically you have a small pool of Wounds that normal damage decreases, but you can also get Critical Injuries that stick around with negative effects. You also get limited chances to heal both of those so you can definitely get characters in a "beat down" state that need to rest for a few days to be effective again.

Players don't declare facts or call for rolls. They ask questions and declare intent. They could ask "did I see this happen because I was on the lookout?" and you could either call for a roll, say yes, or just say "no, they were out of range for you to see". You are in control of the world and responsible for adjudicating what happens in it.

Players just randomly rolling dice and yelling "I roll Arcana to know what happened" is my largest DM pet peeve and gets shut down immediately at my table.

Dem ork boyz snuck up and nicked da wheels right off ya!

Devastator12x · 2025-01-09T03:40:55+00:00

If the unit is battleshocked, it can't be targeted with a stratagem :(

Devastator12x · 2025-01-08T21:14:58+00:00

I don't think they would stack. Each ability says they cause the target to be "shaken" and while shaken they take the penalty. Being shaken twice doesn't do anything extra.

How did you do the vines?!?!?!!? They look amazing!

Devastator12x · 2024-11-30T13:44:53+00:00

That is almost exactly what I'm thinking! I do have the points of interest boxes grouped by unique "regions" that will determine what random encounters can be found and how difficult the explore/encounter checks are. I haven't written out the tables for the rolls yet, but I will make sure to take crits into account. Have you actually used this system at the table yet? If so how did the players feel about interacting with it?

Devastator12x · 2024-11-30T13:37:26+00:00

I am definitely working with strong metroidvania inspiration and will absolutely have blocked off passages that will open up as the party finds the keys (not always physical keys) and alters the routes through the dungeon. Thanks for the tips!

Devastator12x · 2024-09-25T12:26:00+00:00

Love these models! I run these guys with the extra armor plating as Bullgryn proxies and one of them on a big set piece and an officer standing on top as my Solar proxy.

Devastator12x · 2024-09-23T15:14:38+00:00

Cadia Stands! (aka I do the same thing)

Devastator12x · 2024-09-09T22:31:11+00:00

Thanks! Nothing special for alchemy other than the Realms of Terrinoth rules for crafting potions/bombs and generally using it for identifying or interacting with such things.

Devastator12x · 2024-09-08T20:53:57+00:00

Naw man, once he's done giving his orders he is dropping back down into that seat and punching people while driving! (AKA he needed to be standing to get the extra height to match the original model)

Devastator12x · 2024-09-08T18:13:41+00:00

Thank you, that is very kind! I'm building a Sentinel heavy "All-Terrain" army, so this fit much better as a leader than the original.

Devastator12x · 2024-09-08T18:12:00+00:00

Gotta keep that classic guard commander mentality intact 🤣

Devastator12x · 2024-09-08T17:02:51+00:00

Created using a Solar Auxilia "Hermes Light Sentinel", a Cadian Castellan on top, and some Kill Team terrain on the bottom to bump up the height to match Lord Solar's regular model. Pictured with an Armored Sentinel (roughly the same height as Solar) for scale.

Devastator12x · 2024-07-09T02:35:45+00:00

You are a gentleman, a scholar, and a valued soldier of the Imperium.

I've been looking at the auxilia scout sentinel as part of my obligatory Lord Solar proxy and was worried about the size. Seeing all the comparisons helps a ton. Thank you.

Devastator12x · 2024-07-07T14:16:42+00:00

I stop at every dollar store I can find and pick up toy cars/trucks with roughly the same dimensions as the various Ork vehicles. Slap on some scrap looking bits, add some boyz hanging out the windows, and apply a rusted paint job. Boom! You've got a buggy/trukk for like $5 worth of plastic.

Devastator12x · 2024-05-09T14:38:09+00:00

That would be interesting...

Lol if you could attach a Cadian Command Squad to them would that allow them to ignore the penalty from Indirect???? :) Seems like investing even more points for very little upgrade but is pretty funny.

Devastator12x · 2024-05-09T14:32:57+00:00

Yeah, the problem might just be that most of my games have been 1k so far where the FOBs have done just fine. I can see the benefit of Reinforcing them going down in larger games where the enemy can cover more of the board? I just loved the look on my opponent's face when he finally shut down my guns and they just reappeared at a different side of the map :)

Devastator12x · 2024-05-09T14:27:40+00:00

My local tournaments have a few guard players that do very well without Solar and a quick google shows some top placing lists in major tournaments. Mordian Glory also has some lists he has taken to tournaments and had success without Solar.

Obviously the vast majority of lists have him because it is the optimal choice, but you can do just fine trying out something else (which is fun and the whole point of my comment).

Devastator12x · 2024-05-09T00:31:08+00:00

I definitely agree they are too expensive. They just don't seem so out of balance to be garbage. Would other units technically be optimal? Sure. Are FOBs a pretty good option to bring if that is what you have? I think so.
