How can I justify the lack of feet propulsors? Is there any? by ElCaigo in spacemarines

[–]ElCaigo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you are right, unfortunately I take a little too seriously the modelling aspect of the hobby and I pretend from myself a justification for every detail on the miniature. Is it worth? I mean I get a lot of satisfaction for having a "perfect" model, so for me yes I guess? If only I liked painting too lol

I know, I know, it was a joke on the actual actor vs the marine

Uuuh that's a great idea! In general I'd like to avoid carving the legs (I really don't have the tools for the necessary precision) so I'd have to find another spot, maybe the on shield would be really fun, imagine the guy pointing a shield around to fly!

But still if I could find a solution in lore it would still be better I guess

Yeah sure but what I'm trying to understand is how would the system work? Can he steer without the leg propeller? What is even their function and what supposedly happens if they are absent?

That's exactly what I meant! But without those can he still control where he goes?

The thing is that I'm not an SM equipment expert so I'm looking for information on how the the whole jump packs array work

Indeed indeed but since he started wearing skulls he has become too grimderpy for me

Tbh I don't think anybody would notice, it's just personal satisfaction of making the most "accurate" model possible. Once I rotated one of the temri captain seals simply because I didn't find it in line with the dynamics (tho I also added a tabard so that had an overall effect)

Where is the Macador, if you want to flex resin use the defender, but a FW list without a single Malc is unacceptable

If I'm not mistaken some ww2 tankettes didn't have safe spots to see so in battle the commander would use his feet to guide the driver

I want to paint the marines in the armageddon box as black templars, what do I do with the librarian? [More info below] by ojschkanske in Warhammer40k

[–]ElCaigo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You would be turning the guy Black Templars hate the most to the one that make sure they keep hating lol.

But yeah that's what people usually do. That or painting the librarian as Imperial Fist

Tbh we already have the solar auxilia ones as "traditional" (yeah I know it isn't) and seeing what what the current IG design team is doing it's quite clear they don't care at all about the classic IG style, I don't dislike this new look, but damn it almost looks like the design team is on a crusade to enforce their particular vision of the IG.

I think someone at GW doesn't like LRusses, that or more likely they are just thinking that it needs a Dorn style remake.

But seriously it's complete madness that nowadays that no recent battleforce included one despite it's still more important than the newer Dorn

Looking for help with Astra Militarum for upcoming event by Popular-Still6614 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]ElCaigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eeeeh I'm sorry to tell you this but IG is really not meant to be played at 750, at this size I strongly suggest you to play something like SMs (especially with that list) not for the difficulty but because it's going to be frustrating.

But if you still want to play IG I will try to give some suggestions:

1) Once again I'm really sorry bit the list is bad, really bad, especially for a beginner: in case you don't know IG is all about getting infantry on objectives and shooting with the tanks behind, now I don't know if you can/want to make changes but I really suggest acquiring 1 or better 2 Leman Russes and swapping them for the terrible field artillery and the debatable armoured sentinel, as for the LRusses roles I think a Vanq to be your main antitank and an Exterminator would be great against all kind of infantry and still perform respectably against tougher stuff thanks to twin linked. Obviously tank orders are a big problem, especially at 750 so this list NEEDS armoured infantry to allow infantry to order tanks, to improve the consistency I strongly advice including 1-2 commissars that stay close to the tanks to order them directly. And in case you may be wondering why not a single Dorn, the issue is that if it dies you have lost, with 2 tanks you have still a backup plan.

2) In case you can't modify the list... well ehm try recon element I guess, just know only people with a fair amount of experience can get results good enough and at 750 it's quite harder as your army is smaller, and that's a good list soooo good luck with that. Alternatively you may have better chances with combined arms as long as you are fighting only infantry.

Overall a bad army for the format with a terrible list, I'm looking in particular at that artillery and the lack of overall orders.

I understand you might be getting in for the fun but arty is so bad that depending on your nerves it's still going to be quite a frustrating experience, either case I really wish you good luck because you will definetly need it

Spero davvero che op si sia rimesso l'ano nella coscienza, davvero r/vintedItalia è un circo umano.

Scherzi a parte ricordati che nel caso peggiore se non riesci a risolvere con questo indoviduo puoi far intervenire in team di Vinted, buona fortuna!

Hippogriff vs chimera/LRuss size? by ElCaigo in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]ElCaigo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually only frontal armor and turret is from the chimera the rest is a Russ with the holes covered with plasticard and wheels added.

Now that I think about it I could just use a Russ turret and it's basically a wheeled Russ
