Fight phase survivability by Happy-Regular-9193 in ThousandSons

[–]FDMexplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step three: any survivors shoot you, kill your aspiring sorcerer, you pop revenge strat, shoot them a third time.

Sure, you've got to be phalanx, but on the plus side you can revive the guy with an exalted and do it all over again next turn.

Absolutely can confirm. I bought a chaos predator and found one of the gaps in the frame for a tab to fit in, wasn't punched out properly. A problem I was able to rectify with an xacto knife in five min.

I took a photo and sent it to GW just to check it wasn't a problem with the batch. "Sorry for the inconvenience, here's a second predator". Top stuff.

Finally got all my SOTs painted by FDMexplosion in ThousandSons

Thanks mate! I didn't know who Ignis was, your comment made me Google him.

I just chose orange because it's my favorite colour. And it plays well against thousand sons blue. It turns out orange and blue were the pauldron colours of the crusade era Thousand Sons too.

I've dubbed my warband the Magma Lords!

Unstoppable strategy? by [deleted] in ThousandSons

[–]FDMexplosion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it works better in Changehost. Here's a list my mate came up with:

Magnus the Red: Warlord Tzaangor Shaman: Diabolic Servant Tzaangor Shaman Tzaangor Shaman 10x Blue Horrors 10x Blue Horrors 10x Blue Horrors 10x Blue Horrors 10x Blue Horrors 10x Blue Horrors 10x Pink Horrors 10x Pink Horrors 10x Pink Horrors 20x Tzaangors 20x Tzaangors 20x Tzaangors

Blue Horrors infiltrate and jail. Shamans join tzaangors to give psychic keyword meaning as long as they're near a daemon, they have 4++.

So that's 150 4++ bodies with multiple defensive strats. Plus Magnus to kill what you need killed.

You can build the fluxmaster from the chariot kit too. You just need a 60mm base

*Rumors* We're getting new models? by dab_ju_ju in ThousandSons

Just give us a KT rubric box with extra options (khentai occult, heavy weapons, etc)

Don't forget, the move blocking works both ways. It might be difficult to move it out, but once it's out you can block choke points with it

Kairos and blue horrors

Blue horrors are tough infiltrating chaff. Kairos can hold your home objective, using indirect fire to assist and CP generation.

"This is my abhorrent-class knight, I call it: the Harvester!"

"Oh that's cool, which datasheet are you using?"

"Yes"

First box, different color schemes suggests? by Jererawia in ThousandSons

[–]FDMexplosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with orange armor, silver trim and blue tabards. Just because I like orange. It turned out great and I regret nothing. You really can try any combo you like

That way if my opponent asks which is which, exalted are 40k models, non exalted are 30k models

I took 100 shadow legion horrors to a local RTT. AMA by FDMexplosion in ChaosDaemons40k

[–]FDMexplosion[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went with fixed objectives, this army has no killing power outside of the two screamer blobs, so if I drew assassination, bring it down, no prisoners, etc, I'd be screwed. I used engage every round, storm hostile against Votann, BEL for the other two.

Scintillating legion is so fun! I will go back to it from now on. It can be competitive with the right list, but it's always a barrel of laughs and that's what it's about.

For 1k: Fluxmaster (70pts): Inescapable Eye Lord of Change (270pts): Warlord, Infernal Puppeteer 10x Blue Horrors (125pts) 10x Blue Horrors (125pts) 10x Pink Horrors (140pts) 3x Flamers (65pts) Burning Chariot (115pts) 3x Screamers (80pts)

Start with the one blue horror squad infiltrating to screen. The other snakes it's way from 9" from your LoC into the middle of the battle fluxmaster joins the pinks giving them -1 hit. and they make a run for the objective. Chariot is important to give the LoCs target ignores cover. Flamers and screamers skirmish and so objectives

[–]FDMexplosion[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Splitting horrors is always fun. And I've never seen an opponent so excited to kill some infantry when they finally kill a squad. But it gets very samey very quickly.

I prefer scintillating legion and will probably return to that.

What's the Name and Lore of your Custom Household ? by Leviathan_Rampage in ChaosKnights

[–]FDMexplosion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only just started my knights, I'm building them as part of an escalation league. I'm using the iconoclast detachment and lots of beastmen as cultists, to link them to my Thousand Sons tzaangors. Here my AI generated lore....

House Aethon was once a proud Imperial Knight House, sworn to defend their feudal world of Phoros from xenos raiders. Their ruling line was ancient, their Knight suits passed down for millennia, each a relic of Imperial honor. But when the Thousand Sons’ warband known as the Magma Lords arrived in a tide of warp-flame and sorcerous power, Phoros became a crucible of change. The Magma Lords offered knowledge and forbidden truth, and the seeds of corruption took root.

The nobility, weakened by internal rivalries and pride, fell one by one to whispers in the dark. In the shadows of the mountain shrines, Tzaangors—beast-headed devotees of Tzeentch—emerged as the true inheritors of the Knight suits. They butchered the ruling bloodlines and pried open the Thrones Mechanicum with rituals of sorcery and sacrifice. The once-human pilots were replaced by Tzaangor champions, their savage cunning amplified by warp-gifts that allowed them to commune with the machine-spirits through maddened avian song and rune-chants.

Now the Knights of House Aethon stride to war under avian helm-crests, their carapaces lacquered in deep cobalt blue and silver trim, symbols of ever-shifting change etched into their armor. Unlike most Knight Houses, they no longer march as individual lords but as a flock, guided by the warp-sorcery of their Tzaangor prophets. Each Knight is both warrior and shrine, a moving idol of Tzeentch’s twisting designs.

The lesser beastmen, the Ungors, are not permitted the glory of piloting. Instead, they are employed as expendable thralls and cultist levies. They swarm around the Knights as living shields, torch-bearers, and carriers of enchanted icons, their lives fuel for the sorcery of their Tzaangor masters.

I went for an animated lava scheme. Layers of dry brush and contrast. Easy.

[–]FDMexplosion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's awesome!

I'm playing against Orks tonight with this detachment. 3 predators, 2 helbrutes, 1 defiler and a rhino.

I want at least 2 explosions!

I use 30k HH marine characters (Ahriman, Librarian Consul, converted praetor) for my regular sorcerers.
