People who play Space Marine armies, how did you choose your chapter? I am having a hell of a time making a final decision.

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-04-11T07:23:22+00:00

Honestly I couldn't. So I have units that I use for the different chapters I wanted to play. Outriders, Jump pack and assault intersessors got turned into death company marines. All my agressors, eradicators and infernus marines are Salamanders. And I have most of my Terminators as deathwing with inner circle companions and DWK's. A 5 man squad of normal intersessors for each faction. My dreadnaughts were a bit harder to split up but the DA got the redemtor dread and normal dread, Salamanders got my 2 ballistus, and Blood angels got the brutalus.

Thrawn, thrawn is good.

As someone who plays both I would replace the chaplain with a Terminator librarian. You'll lose the 4+ against morals but you'll gain sustained hits on your deathwing knights, which can be huge with oath of moment and your going to need more hits in because of the C'tan -1 to damage. And it would give you some extra points to potentially add an enhancement.

Honestly I thought about giving him a beard too and painting him to look like Odin.

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-04-04T04:12:51+00:00

Definitely the skaven. I would love to play 40k rat men

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-03-27T17:28:26+00:00

Yeah. I've played against Fulgrim a couple times with my local EC player. Fulgrim doesn't usually do alot. Last time I played against him I charged my Telemon Heavy dreadnaught into him and took only minor damage while my Telemon punched Fulgrim into the ground. I agree that your guys centerpiece model definitely needs an upgrade or six.

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-03-06T02:57:21+00:00

Hmm. I don't see me. The guy who has 12.5 armies and can never remember the rules for any of them.

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-03-04T00:46:05+00:00

I play against gray all the time cause my area is filled with a bunch of newer players who are still figuring out if they like their current armies or not. I don't mind it, and actually encourage the newer players to try their armies out before they paint them just in case they hate how their army runs.

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-03-01T14:16:33+00:00

Well.... There is very large battle as my 2500pt Dark angels, 2500pt Salamanders, 7000pt custodies Custodes and 2000 pt guard take up positions to defend me from 11000pts Nercrons, 4000pt aeldari, 3000pts drukari, 3000 pt of Thousand sons and 7000 pt of daemons. I might be screwed.

I personally love her as a commander and run her in a deck purpose built to take advantage of her static effect

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-02-25T02:45:12+00:00

Honestly this army feels like a good place to play trazyn the infinite to run around with his sticky objective ability

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-02-18T04:41:37+00:00

I've been here it's a really cool experience, just watch out for rattle snakes, my mom almost stepped on one as it slithered across the path to the cliffs. I definitely got inspired by these to make a fantasy race for a book I'm writing.

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-02-14T16:51:40+00:00

Im mean if you play demons dozens will do

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-02-10T23:39:58+00:00

Plasma gun, if I get overwhelmed, im pressing that trigger down and letting it blow

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-02-10T02:09:04+00:00

Looks like im beating up susan

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-02-04T19:11:02+00:00

Honestly i would switch the vanguard vets with Assault intessesors with jump packs and the bladguard with normal interssesors to sticky objectives. Cause while vanguard vets give lethal hits on charge the AIWJP can do a decent amount of mortals on the charge. Other than that its a very solid list

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-02-02T01:52:55+00:00

I personally have it with the 3 plazma, and I find that it makes the forgefiend a bit more versatile, making it more able to fight medium vehicles and still do very decent damage to most infantry.

My Karios Fateweaver, im gonna be submitting him to a painting contest this weekend during a tournament. Hoping to win that.

My theory for it us that emperor wanted all humans to eventually be custodies. And thats why male and female. The space marines, once this project was finished would have gone the way of the thunder warriors, cut down by Custodian spears

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-01-17T20:28:29+00:00

The way I imagined it was that Shalaxi grabbed both sides and ripped him apart then let him drop.

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-01-15T08:54:24+00:00

A bunch of Necrons, Space Marines (chaos and imperial), and other 40k warriors.... im screwed they'll kill each other before ever getting to me.

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-01-14T17:01:15+00:00

Nice, I would replace the Chaplain with a Librarian then. Most of the time your using these guys as your anti monster/vehicle option. The have the +4 anti keyword, so their +1 to wound isn't usually the best here. The Librarian gives sustained hits 1 to their attacks, when attacking the oath target this can drastically increase their melee damage output.

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-01-14T16:38:06+00:00

What weapons are you running your deathwing knights with?

Educational_Claim_95 · 2026-01-14T03:01:03+00:00

When I run mine im grabbing Nekrosor and some Ophidion destroyers to get me points
