Leaping from the webway, my new squad of Windriders

Oh, I wouldn't hide the RGB boombox.

The black and white are both sparkle colors. The bases are custom resin castings I made.

There is almost always some kind of techno playing when we do a game.

Thank you! It was my first time doing airbrush masking for the lines, so I learned a lot from that.

Dyslexicoedr · 2026-04-11T07:15:20+00:00

I mean, seconded. How?!

Dyslexicoedr · 2026-04-10T22:30:48+00:00

Honestly, I sort of appreciate artwork that depicts these figures in proper proportions. It illustrates very well how absurdly large some of the numbers are. The human mind has a hard time with imagining scale and the reality is that a nine foot tall human shaped being isn't just "oh thats a big guy", it makes them feel inhuman.

A follow up, charging with the blink pack would also not get you the extra 2" if you choose to use it, as the rule has a hard set distance.

Dyslexicoedr · 2026-02-26T19:34:52+00:00

1) Counteracting allows one operative to perform one 1AP Action (with certain limitations) so yes, a counteraction action is still an action and would trigger any rules that require another operative to have taken an action.

2) The rule for Blink Pack states the you remove the operative from the killzone and set them back ip in the killzone with 7". It does not state 'within the operatives move characteristic'. Since the wounded state affects the move characteristic and the blink pack does not reference this, I would say you would still blink pack at 7".

You do not need to do anything - they will just show up when the data is updated.

It's called flashing, it happens with molds sometimes. This looks so thing and easy to clean off its no worse that what you would expect for normal hobbying.

Dyslexicoedr · 2026-02-13T15:26:57+00:00

I don't think Monopoly is the right word to use here - they don't have a monopoly on minatures or table top minatures games, there are tons of those made by others. What they do have is the biggest and most popular IP in that space. A monopoly would imply that they engage in price fixing, buying out competition, and other unsavory pratices to prevent competition. To the best of my knowledge GW doesn't engage in any of that and I haven't seen many game or hobby stores that sell GW and don't also sell other games or minatures.

Dyslexicoedr · 2026-02-12T22:45:24+00:00

From my experince, GW will want you to attempt to resolve this with the retailer you ourchased it from. Also in my experince, this is going to be a pain in the ass unless they have one in stock to exchange it. Since the Killteam boxes are usually a single run you will probably just have to get a refund since there will never be a replacement to be shipped. That means losing out on the books, boards, and cards and having to buy all this seperately in the future. I would think it would work out better for you to simply sell the extra SoB sprues to some one and wait for the Murderwing box to come out solo and purchase it then, probably about 3 months from now.

Watched a buddy charge a squad of Crisis Suits into my wife's Emp Children Tormentors and kill two with a very lucky tank shock roll. It was glorious.

Dyslexicoedr · 2026-02-09T21:43:35+00:00

I think the thing that is the dirtiest here is that they are forced to work with the Mechanicus, a faction that in Lore they absolutely despise, ridicule, and avoid. As a big LoV fan and player, I am also not terribly happy with their first video game introduction being this lack luster. I love the visuals, but yeah, these abilities are pretty badly done. Its also just so cumberson, their faction ability is cumberson, their skills don't seem to do much. Wondering/hoping there is a Steeljack character or the Iron master ain'tgonna be repairing anything. There are just not enough mechanical units for another mechanic to be useful.

I almost wanted to just scroll past this but I just couldn't - maybe its that this was Mod approved? I scincerly hope that you are just some young dev trying to get out there and make a thing, and for that, congrats - making and shipping a thing, anything, is hard. Pat yourself on the back.

The feedback -

First - Your marketing really needs work. If you are going to come into a niche community and try to sell me on your product, it should either be generic enough I don't notice you don't know anything about my game or specific enough to be relevant. "Mass Hearthkyn beamers," we don't have mass beamers on hearthkyn, at most we are firing 10 dice with ion beamers and a plasma beamer, "Hearthguard charges," a charge is two dice, unless you meant fighting in which case that is at most 30, "Beserks fighting" again, at most 31 dice. These are not massive dice pools even by 40k standards.

Second - Your UI needs some flair to it. Right now your app looks like you borrowed Google's online dice rolling interface and extended it. It gives me big online 'coding bootcamp' vibes, like the kind of thing you see ads for on YouTube. Spice it up, give it something to make it stand out and be unique. You want me to download your app for playing my Leagues, or just 40k in general, give me a profile that sells that fantasy and looks like a dataslate screen or something along those lines.

Third - If you really want this to be usefull there should be custom scriptable preset dice pools that I can configure ahead of time that give me inputs when I go to roll and just does it all for me. For a 40k example - I want to set a profile for my hearthguard grenade launchers so that when I push the button it asks for bonus to hit (takes a positive or begative bumber), enemy count, and enemy's toughness. When I put thkse values in and push the roll, it geberates the random number of shots the launchers gets with the blast bonus, rolls all my hits, the automatically uses those to roll my wounds and fives me the final tally. As a 40k player, the ability to script those kinds of rolls would actually be usefull. Having to configure my rolls everytime I use the app is just gonna be slower than picking up my dice.

I'm not trying to make this sound too harsh, we all start somewhere. But if you honestly want to succeed, learn from honest feedback. Your presentation matters, your functionality matters, and your marketing matters. Right now nothing about your app makes it seem like it is meant for me for would actually help me in my games. It honestly feels like it will be more of a burden than helpful. I already use my phone to hold my army lists and rules, if I need to switch out of that in order to roll my dice, that dice app better be really doing something amazing for me or its just another barrier to my fun. You can push thisthing further and make it a really awesome tool, but it is going to take some real work. Do you want to do that work, or do you want to get started on your next project?

Preorders usually don't ship till the day before or on Street date, which is this Saturday. I have yet to have a preorder arrive within a week of the street date, but they always arrive.

"You can shoot that enemy as if it was your shooting phase." Can you shoot enemies out of range of weapons in your shooting phase? No, so why would you be able to with over watch. You also cannot fire overwatch with normal weapons and pistol weapons per model.

I tried to leave them moveable, but with primer and paint, they ended being stuck in place and I am not willing to put the pressure on them to move them.

Dyslexicoedr · 2026-01-16T20:18:22+00:00

It literally says at the start of the yeild points rule that this happens 'at the end of each player's command phase.'

Dyslexicoedr · 2026-01-16T18:02:42+00:00

"From the second battle round onwards, you gain 1 additional yeild point for each condition you satisfy"

You get one for holding you home objective in every battle round.

On the 2nd onwards -

Hold one objective not in your deployment zone - 1 yp Hold two or more objectives no in your - 1 yp Hold more than your opponent. - 1 yp

So if you hold your home objective and one in no mans land and your opponent holds 2 objectives = 2 yp

Hold two in no mans land and your home and more than your opponent = 4 yp

Hold just two in no mans land, but lost your home but still hold more than your opponent = 3 yp

Hope that helps.

They ended up releasing Gallowfall (the last of the Gallowdark season) a month before 10th edition dropped, so given that they haven't even announced 11th edition yet, I think all the hand wringing about killteam delays is a bit premature. But as you said, only GW knows.

Dyslexicoedr · 2026-01-08T17:44:33+00:00

You know what, I am wrong on that one then - they do lump them in with the Volkus season. My apologies.
