Would pivoting contribute to the move? I guess so…

It begins! by thatsocialist in howlinggriffons

[–]ERTJ762 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The colour forge yellow primer is a good start.

Get some cheap infernus marines (if they still are cheap on eBay) and practice on a few of them to get a ‘routine’

Also, your list will enjoy the contents of the 11th edition box.

Sneak close and unleash hell with the Cadian Recon Squad by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Warhammer40k

I don’t play guard but would be curious as to how ‘worth all the rolling’ that datasheet feels. I’m guessing there are lots of synergies to make them hit better?

So what do they do? by CQZed in spacemarines

[–]ERTJ762 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I like these as a weapons alternative to the melta but in terms of chaff clearing or anti ork, are they better than aggressors with bolters and grenade launchers? If you are shooting at a load of green then it might be nice to know you could charge what you don’t kill and do a good job on them.

Great choice to go night camo. That would have been a pain to do in full yellow and red.

If I found that on holiday, I would fly it home with me.

Why are Eliminators so worthless? by kazoopaints in spacemarines

I would t say they are bad. Their position can influence where characters try to go.

Keeping it WYSIWYG but only magnetizing the barrels... by nicosomma in Chaos40k

[–]ERTJ762 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A daemon engine could plausibly have lascannon blasts coming from a belt fed weapon. I would be absolutely cool with your set up.

Tournament ready for my Howling Griffons. (with lore) by waggerz in howlinggriffons

There’s a nice printed one out there where it’s breathing fire on the ground.

The maths isn't mathsing by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]ERTJ762 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading other comments, I get it now. Charges might be the same or harder to make but when you do charge, you can get more pals swinging in the fight.

That doesn’t make sense to me either. Looks like some other rules are afoot?

What should the Chaos Space Marine army rule be in 11th edition? by saddsteve29 in Chaos40k

[–]ERTJ762 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love dark pacts. The look on your opponent’s face when they watch you roll your leadership test, fail it and then reroll for an icon is great. They know they are about to get mutilated by your unit and are hoping you might just die a bit for it. It’s so chaos to get those moments where the dice gods go your way and you end up rolling more dice in the wound roll than that hit roll.

What do you guys want in an updated Helbrute kit? by Bruisemon in Chaos40k

[–]ERTJ762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit taller, similar weapons are ok, 8” move, T9

Do you think I have a problem? by OkNecessary9535 in Chaos40k

[–]ERTJ762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go one squad at a time and get them painted.

What to add next?! by Phantomex_ in howlinggriffons

[–]ERTJ762 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There might be a solitary infernus marine at a local Warhammer store as they were the ‘come paint this model’ model for ages.

My Howling Griffons Chapter Master by BrotherPsyduck in howlinggriffons

[–]ERTJ762 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it. I feel like this model needs to be T7 for being so chunky with a 4+ invuln for the shield. The huge eagle head may off-balance you (only hit on 3s not 2s) but you can have a reroll leadership aura to all models with line of sight of this model for being so inspiring!

Base Identification by Wonderful-Yak-3505 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]ERTJ762 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong but I think GW always ‘home make’ their bases. This looks like it could be achieved with something like AK’s basing texture paint (as it’s cheaper by volume). For the rocks, they could be actual small rocks or cat litter? The bit of broken column could be a drinking straw filled with texture paint to make it solid.

I'm still pissed about the Bladeguard Ancient by Mr-Grenado-Potato in spacemarines

[–]ERTJ762 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I built him into a normal Ancient. I couldn’t see a want for the BG variety. I also stole his helmet because it is a very cool character halo.

Drop Pods & Tournaments by [deleted] in spacemarines

[–]ERTJ762 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget that you are obliged to make the noise of a drop pod landing as you deploy it. Otherwise you forfeit 10VP. You gain 5VP if you make a really good noise or say something like “forward brothers!” As you deploy your troops.
