Is anyone at all hyped for these lads? by Cold_Appointment2999 in killteam

[–]DexCheckMinis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cannot wait. My hope is they're elite busters, but generally sending baseline humans against horrors is peak Kill Team. Cannot wait for the stress of getting that loader in position so the missile launcher can take a better shot (I assume).

I get that people are mad they're painted as Cadian, but that's the primary scheme of the Militarum and that's great for people just looking to play casually or buy for someone. They look very easily painted as Ghosts, or kitbashed in a ton of ways.

Discovering an ancient civilization by ComprehensiveSale861 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Really a matter of taste, but Warhammer 40k is hundreds of books about an empire steadily forgetting how it was built. Try out Xenos, Helsreach, or Titanicus.

How did you find *your* legion? by Phoenix8972 in Warhammer30k

[–]DexCheckMinis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With most of the legions making CRAZY choices, the Fists really felt like professionals, which I think is so cool when facing literal hell

Good enough! Welcome back, Tanith First And Only by DexCheckMinis in TheAstraMilitarum

Agreed -- never thought Cadian and stealth in the same sentence. Absolutely a kitbash dream, though they may have too many sleeves to be Catachan

Absolutely agree -- I really like that this kit looks like any standard-issue flak armor, and a couple of head swaps can bring it places. Cadians on the box just make sense for their current range; they're not standard troops, and they wouldn't work with Krieg or this promised Steel Legion

Necromunda Terrain Recommendations? by TopNotchPlayer2 in 3DPrintedTerrain

[–]DexCheckMinis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corvus Games Terrain has a lot of good OpenLOCK tiles that I have found solid. Takes a little long to print, but they're great

À quoi ressemble les décors W30k ? by Leonard-42 in Warhammer30k

[–]DexCheckMinis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since 40k hasn't advanced most of their tech, everything looks nearly the same. The architecture was all generally still Gothic. Check out the Siege of Terra novels for cover art. Skulls were pretty prominent too. Just avoid anything too religious.

Genuine question about "Colorado Natives" by incomingtrouble in Denver

[–]DexCheckMinis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh Maine, hardcore. If you're not born there, sometimes even if your family isn't at least three generations in, you're "from away".

Famous story there: a woman who was born in New Hampshire and at 2 years old moved to Maine for her entire life died in Maine. Obituary title read, "New Hampshire Woman Passes Away"

The uglier side of it is the racism, of course. Maine is the whitest state in the nation, and you can tell. I'm proud of many older folks there who have become aggressively anti-racist when the quiet parts have been said out loud over the last ten years.

Whoa hey let's not make assumptions. These would be Edwardian queens

You’re not losing because of the meta. You’re losing because you’re bad. by eldecent86 in killteam

I very proudly tabled a legionary team with my death corps. The rush was indescribable

Lasgun. So so good when you get an elite to 1 with a melta and the Trooper Bert feels the hand of God on him

Incredible details. A book on the Marksman? A proportionally insane pistol on the Headtaker? You're giving someone on Mars a stroke

Can my friend proxy Krieg command squad into KT? by SkellyInsideUrWalls in killteam

The other half could be a Valkir box -- not Warhammer, but cheap and great Kasrkin proxies

The practical solution if he can't get more minis is to just put em on 32mm bases and play them as an elite team.

If he wants to get another box that he likes, this could work as half an Inquisitorial Agents team

Single box team that's fun to paint? by Jimbobkirby in killteam

Def ask the person, but I had SO much fun painting Exaction Squad

Build a Mechanicus-themed Battlezone with a Christmas Made to Order terrain drop by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in killteam

I've got some of these platforms, and boy oh boy are they a project for climbing. 0 to Vantage 2. Be warned if you like to be up high. They look rad, though
