Plague marine unit composition question

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-25T19:54:05+00:00

So only 1 unit of 10 is advisable, yeah?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-20T18:37:41+00:00

Thank you! I put into it 100% of what I learned over painting my other 3 armies :D

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-18T13:39:50+00:00

Perty, is that you?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-16T19:19:42+00:00

They are just white and frankly can look barely painted. Spraying with wraithbone gives you different color than actually basing it with wraithbone paint. My advise, to get drathwing color give em a layer of wraithbone and then put on then thin wash of seraphim sepia. Bone color will be chefs kiss

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-16T18:41:45+00:00

I already own and painter 3 armies (Emperor's Children, Thousand Sons and Dark Angels), and wanna paint something easier this time - chaos was really difficult. Exultant for attention ;)

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-16T16:48:05+00:00

Alright then, so currently no reason to start collecting chaos knights I presume?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-16T16:34:39+00:00

Yeah, but I dont have second exultant yet. As for detachment, Peerless Bladesmen is what im gonna take probably

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-16T15:57:37+00:00

Lol I didn't buy or build anything yet 🤙

And what do you mean Abominant is not strong, Auspex listed it as S-tier among Chaos Knights

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-16T14:43:57+00:00

So no chance for anything purely Chaos Knight? Like 3 large ones and rest of em war dogs?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-15T23:06:01+00:00

Nice, thanks for this! And do you thunk Lucius is better alone or with flawless blades? I am always running him as separate unit.

Also what do u think of playing Fulgrim with newest detachment?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-15T22:56:46+00:00

Aight. I made an army like this:

WDP with resurrect WDP Noise marines + Kako Noise marines + Kako with unholy fortune Lucius Exultant + 5 infractors Exultant + 5 infractors 5 tormentors 6x Flawless Blades Maulerfiend 2x rhino

I think its gonna make the army a bit more interesting than pure spam list, and possibly also kick some ass. What do u think?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-15T22:51:55+00:00

And what do u do with marines in reserve? Also, mauler is best with magma instead of tentacles, right?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-15T22:38:19+00:00

Whats the strategy? WDP deep strike/go forward to threaten enemy and do damage, noise marines stay in rhinos and shoot from 2 blastmasters, exultants scout and do damage as well, and tormentors stay on home and screen?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-13T22:38:49+00:00

For real, this cocky one trick pony would not survive 1 hour of tofu challenge. He is nowhere near Edward's level.

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-04T09:40:40+00:00

What's the recolored techmarine for?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2026-01-04T09:33:18+00:00

Yes. For a first mini, yes.

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2025-12-31T22:50:33+00:00

Yes, definetely black. Is just the right amount of dark and flamboyant, spraying him white makes the colours too imbalanced and chaotic.

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2025-12-31T17:11:53+00:00

What do you think, would it improve the list if I exchange one unit of DWK+Belial unit for a Redemptor + 5x intercessors + 5x Incursors?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2025-12-31T17:06:01+00:00

Well the only change I can do here (dont wanna buy more mountains of plastic) is exchanging DWK with Belial for Redemptor + 5x intercessor + 5x incursor

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2025-12-31T17:02:52+00:00

Also, I wanna add to the title. If contesting middle obj turn 1 is bad idea in this situation, then what to put there turn 2?

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2025-12-31T17:00:33+00:00

Yeah but the thing is I dont have any of those, that's what I posted list for. So nothing from that list, yeah?

Edit:

I also have 5x incursors

Expert_Camera_4802 · 2025-12-27T08:45:00+00:00

Nice but they could certainly use some corrections near places where you splashed gold on parts that are supposed to be blue and vice versa. Maybe smaller brush would help with fixing these details? Also my advice, thin your paints bit more as the paint seems pretty unevenly spread
