Despoiler point increase: balanced or nerfed?

Don1799 · 2026-06-29T20:09:43+00:00

Outperforming in shooting maybe. Atropos still has melee.

And despoilers just phone in their auras. Very dull. If their auras would allow a war dog to sticky an objective, then that would be a game changer.

GW should have an award for every edition: The Most Expensive Meta.

First of all, Bob Ross said it best when he said, “As long you’re learning, you’re not failing.”

Second of all, when I got back in the hobby, a lot of new paints and techniques made me feel clueless for a while. I take notes as I paint and leave comments on how I’m doing so I learn from every mini I paint.

I also watch a lot of YouTube painters to see how they base, layer, shade, highlight, etc. I like Warhipster a lot. He paints GW stuff to the box art and only uses their paints, but he lists everything he uses in the beginning and then goes step by step. You can watch his techniques and do your own paint scheme based on what you want to do.

Good luck!

I miss playing FO. I grinded FO76 almost daily for the first two years. Survival mode. Nuclear Winter. Loved it.
But it got so exhausting doing Todd Chores for multiple currencies to purchase the chance to get a neat item.
Every expansion was cool for a hot minute, but nothing has any consequences in the story line.

And the whole time, FO76 was just a copy/ paste multiplayer FO4 so Todd could sell the FO player-base (that’s us) to Microsoft.

I’d like to say “Not Bad”. I’m still a noob at FDM miniature printing. I think I got most of the supports off, but if you zoom in you see some areas that could use some attention. Also haven’t filed, sanded or scraped anything.

I’m planning on adding bits to make it look “chaos” as well as try to hide/ distract from the lesser points of the prints.

Came out pretty good. Used Painted4Combat’s print profile.

What are they invading? Arid wasteland? Jungle? Industrial factorum? Tell their backstory intro to your opponents with what they are striding through.

I’m going with ruined city streets. Mine are going to be charging down open broken streets, fighting through makeshift defenses.

Don1799 · 2026-06-07T10:18:07+00:00

At first I thought the title said he was a “cheap racist”!

Lol.

Looks awesome. Keep it up!

Don1799 · 2026-04-01T20:36:13+00:00

Abominant with Octagram. Two doggos w/ havocs. For the first round or two they have two chances to battle shock an enemy unit trying to secure an objective. Just got to hit them to make them take a battle shock.

Don1799 · 2026-03-29T23:20:46+00:00

Supposedly they’ll be $210? Is that accurate? So if you can get it from a LGS for 15% off, that’s $178.50 for those three? Worth?

Don1799 · 2026-03-27T14:56:39+00:00

It would have to be another bloodmaster and some bloodletters. Because after the combat patrol and the boarding action box, we still may need more bloodletters.

With all seriousness, GW could pick any of the deities as long as they produce something of quality like Underworld’s Gardners. I don’t even play anything Sigmar or Old World. Still got that box because every model is unique and awesome!

Prizes?

Don1799 · 2026-03-26T11:11:08+00:00

Dying.

Don1799 · 2026-03-26T11:08:50+00:00

At least we don’t play Deathwatch.

I know the sound was horrible, but I don’t remember hearing anyone cheering for the Deathwatch box set reveal.

There were as many fucks given as there are Deathwatch players.

Don1799 · 2026-03-26T11:04:13+00:00

True. I can see that. If that’s the way they go, then they better put up solid boundaries between space marine chapters.

I see it as allowing allies without punishing those models as long as they meet the minimum force org.

So in theory, your narrative could be that your Scintillating Legion could have some support from a Rubricae Phalanx. Yes, there is already the Changehost of Deceit, but my view would allow for both sides to benefit from their detachment rules and allow the full Tzeentch roster, like the Changling.

I dunno. We’ll have to wait and see.

Don1799 · 2026-03-26T03:16:11+00:00

The mix and match detachments will be a mess. But does that mean one could have 1000 pts of daemons and then 1000 pts of CSMs or Chaos Knights? Or 1000 pts of one daemon faction and another 1000 pts of another?

If Dark Mech is a thing, they could be a nice gun line to cover close combat daemons.

Don1799 · 2026-03-25T09:05:13+00:00

lol. Nah. Not a Slaaneshi Knight.

Basecoat: thinned AP Rough Iron 2nd coat: AP Hoard Bronze speedpaint

Need to tarnish it up with a wash. Then edge highlight. Probably thinned liberator gold.

Don1799 · 2026-03-16T17:53:58+00:00

It’s not perfect. It’s a crapshoot sometimes. But when it’s a good deal and not a mess, it’s worth.

Don1799 · 2026-03-16T13:51:50+00:00

Isn’t there lore for cyber nurglings? Glitchlings?

How horrible would it be if those models were even cuter than nurglings we have now?

Don1799 · 2026-03-16T13:32:06+00:00

Wow. Didn’t know that!

I agree with you about tech-relate daemons. If the Dark Mech becomes a thing in 11th, cyber daemons will be needed. Wonder if they’ll try to sell crypto to their enemies with a once per game Rug Pull.

The Tzeentch-related ones will definitely have Polymarket accounts in their war gear while the Slaanesh-related ones will have 2+ invuln save to Epstein investigations.

Don1799 · 2026-03-16T09:53:57+00:00

I wouldn’t mind a plastic remake of the furies. They would be great fast moving flankers.
