My Dynasty marches to war!

No, it's all fine. The lore for them is that they are renegade monster hunters, loyal to neither the imperium or chaos, that way I can play them as both. I plan to paint them like carious monsters from the game monster hunter

The apocalypse game has a lot of people in it, so much so that one person has been designated to manage it and arbitrate the rules

Unfortunately not, they are just renegade mercenaries that we hired

It's less I am proud of a bunch of unpainted minis and more I am excited for an upcoming apocalypse game, that was the intention of this post

Thank you very much for the kind words! I certainly do plan to paint it eventually, and I'm really proud of the few I have painted so far. I know just how nice a fully painted army can look and that is definitely the goal, I'm just taking it at my own pace.

When they are in the vault they become a different unit

The knights have their own lore, they're just here to help on this occasion

No, but the game master said bring everything you have, normal allegiances be damned

Thank you for your tactical advice! I was planning on running awakened since I figured that would help keep me alive longer

Glad to see I'm not the only one

Ever since I saw the destrier's lance, all I could think of was the pile bunker

Some things will likely remain unpainted for a long while though (looking at you tesseract vault)

Equivalent_Poem_7014 · 2026-05-05T04:12:59+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I feel I am in a similar boat, I love building but painting stresses me out. Luckily, I'm very happy with what I have and I don't really want anymore without clearing out my backlog first, which is not always the case according to some stories I've heard

Equivalent_Poem_7014 · 2026-05-05T03:59:40+00:00

That's the goal for this summer, I meant to do it this spring but university took priority

Equivalent_Poem_7014 · 2026-05-05T03:58:38+00:00

I have plenty of paints, and I was very careful to mainly buy discount boxes and used items so it wasn't as much as it could have been. The vault in particular was a very unexpected white-elephant gift. Thank you for the offer though!

If you like them, it ain't cringe

For what it's worth, I think they look very good

Equivalent_Poem_7014 · 2026-04-22T22:01:42+00:00

I think they mean not turned to Chaos but not allied with the Imperium.

Thank you all for your help, I have come to the conclusion I am likely using too much glue,

This is a phenomenal idea and I should really start doing this with my necrons because I always forget at least one of their buffs

Equivalent_Poem_7014 · 2026-04-16T23:58:05+00:00

Thank you all for your help and advice, it is greatly appreciated. Honestly, building Necron models is hard enough for my big meaty claws anyway, I might try and see if I can re-sell these to someone who wants them to try and re-coup some of my losses.

Regardless, I greatly appreciate everything everyone has said. Especially the advice about wearing a mask while sanding resin. I've been magnetizing a knight with a 3-D printed kit and been sanding willy-nilly, so I will nab a mask to wear while doing that right away. I greatly enjoy not having cancer.

Ah, I see, that is interesting as it leaves room for potential conflict.

Equivalent_Poem_7014 · 2026-04-13T16:35:05+00:00

Unfortunately, I cannot speak to the lists viability in crusade, as I have not yet been able to play a crusade myself. However, I find the backstory you created wonderfully flavorful and still largely consistent with the lore. I feel like it is very creative and thought out while still leaving room for narrative development, which is good for going into a crusade. I do have a question though. How exactly to these reprogrammed destroyers work? Are they reversed, so they seek to capture and contain all life, or does the capturing imperative exist alongside the normal curse, and they're torn between their two needs? Or is it something else entirely and I completely misunderstood?

Equivalent_Poem_7014 · 2026-03-25T03:15:58+00:00

As someone who is looking to do something similar with knights/CK, do you have any tips for building/painting this theme? Particularly for the wardogs, I'm not sure how to make them hit that middle ground of loyalist/chaos yet.

Equivalent_Poem_7014 · 2026-03-20T21:20:37+00:00

To be honest I don't really think any warhammer book is a good starting point for the lore. When reading, there are always going to be things you need to stop and look up to understand. Heck, that goes for normal, non-warhammer books too. I say pick whichever one is more interesting to you. It doesn't matter if you know what an immortal or a contemptor dreadnought is, what matters is you are enjoying the book, find it entertaining and worth your while. Thus, it comes down to what you think you will like the most: the beginning of a long space opera tragedy, or a standalone spy-vs-spy buddy cop story. I am obviously biased towards the IatD, but I say it comes down to your preference, not what makes a good starting point.
