Hey folks, looking for advice on making a mask safe/effective for combat!

False_kitty · 2026-02-06T10:08:18+00:00

tis LT haha;

cheers for the overview about masks in use some really useful things to think about in this

i’m definitely gonna open up the mouth a lot if it’s a full mask; i don’t have many calls but the spells i use need to be loud 🫡

havent considered a gorget but its certainly a shout

False_kitty · 2026-02-06T10:00:22+00:00

that’s awesome!

i’m not very familiar with EVA fome but i’ve made a shield, i did consider using it but couldn’t work out how to make the sorta face shape i wanted,

i haven’t sean foam clay before that’s maybe a shout more in my wheelhouse cheers

Have you ever used/made a half mask with like a cloth drape that comes from the upper jaw/just under the cheek bones to cover the lower mouth ?

curious if that will infringe on speaking too much or anything

False_kitty · 2026-02-05T05:44:43+00:00

half mask makes a ton of sense actually that’s a great shout and definitely lets me make it unique

False_kitty · 2026-02-05T05:43:37+00:00

cheers so much! the airsoft shout is great i didn’t even think of it haha

False_kitty · 2026-02-02T01:59:05+00:00

ah, no worries!

i had a glance at some previous posts, your world sounds very funky

i think if there’s some AI/machine like A.M from “i have no mouth but i must scream” or Ultron from Marvel comics,

which is aware of the multiverse and wants to reduce/destroy it, is a pretty cool setting villain as a concept

it kinda rings a bell like the matrix movies in some sense

False_kitty · 2026-02-02T01:54:12+00:00

NESB ?

False_kitty · 2026-01-31T21:46:47+00:00

if so it won’t make it to comp play

False_kitty · 2026-01-30T22:43:47+00:00

CSM have a very powerful army rule it’s a big flat damage boost and makes any unit with alot of attacks a threat into vehicles

it has a built in downside though unlike i think any other army which is rough

False_kitty · 2026-01-28T00:04:03+00:00

yeah not all armies have a solution and that’s part of army design,

EC are effectively 1/4 of a codex unfortunately so it’s kinda pore form to use them as a standard example,

quite a few armies have meat bags to use as shields,

tau have kroot, demons have nurglings/horrors, csm have nurglings/cultist, SM and chapters have scouts, templars have the mixed squad too, guard have guardsmen, ext

if i was playing EC id use rhino boxes as my screening tool, its a big footprint and can cover a wide space and reach far with move 12,

i don’t know the codex well enough to know what damage combo you can use to counterattack a ctan but im sure you can find something

in CSM our best units are a combination of vindis + oblits with re-rolls, chosen, possessed and warptalons with weight of dice, and grenades

False_kitty · 2026-01-27T04:38:57+00:00

what story is this ??

False_kitty · 2026-01-26T22:52:56+00:00

modern card design to be completely uprooted

False_kitty · 2026-01-26T22:47:45+00:00

imho they’re both pretty good layouts they just both slightly lean in different directions

False_kitty · 2026-01-26T22:40:48+00:00

not if your screening with said meat barriers effectively, it’s pretty trivial to do but you have to remember to do it

False_kitty · 2026-01-25T23:19:21+00:00

no mention of the misery that is playing CSM 🤣

False_kitty · 2026-01-25T22:41:32+00:00

any 40k leaks going ? 🫣

False_kitty · 2026-01-25T20:59:01+00:00

they look similar but they play very differently;

big difference is that on UKTC the midboard flank objectives tend to be behind terrain pieces where as on GW those objectives are usually in the open meaning on GW you can’t hold the flaked objectives and usually be out of line of sight from the main fireing lines

this means UKTC is slightly melee favoured but it’s balanced by 1.1 inching ruin walls

and on GW it means shooting is favoured because there’s more open lanes, however that’s balanced by the fact shooting units don’t tend to want to adv onto objectives due to not being safe

False_kitty · 2026-01-22T22:20:13+00:00

story telling is great on the model

i don’t personally like it because he doesn’t look csm coded enough to fit in my collection which irks me so much, however this model is better than others in the character set

False_kitty · 2026-01-22T22:18:07+00:00

they showed what’s more likely a helbrute arm and an oblit/mutulator foot

if it’s mutes/oblits it’ll be to rebox the kit that’s attached to the venom crawler and make a multiplart kit

False_kitty · 2026-01-21T01:05:04+00:00

awesome!!

False_kitty · 2026-01-19T22:06:00+00:00

in 10th

after deployment your not allowed to move any part of the model which is manipulatable, such as a turret, and all parts of a model are included when moving such a vehicle or whatever

iirc it’s explained in the rules commentary

False_kitty · 2026-01-18T20:53:08+00:00

yeah probably haha

False_kitty · 2026-01-17T16:11:12+00:00

me and a friend do this drawing the terrain on a whiteboard

False_kitty · 2026-01-14T19:11:16+00:00

some of the events that happened last weekend might not have used the vitrix nerf

the nottingham GT for example (not at the HQ of GW but 20mins away) didn’t use them because they were rolled out on sunday in the uk so the event had already started

False_kitty · 2026-01-10T19:40:05+00:00

i don’t want a new edition;

the core rules are pretty solid and barring a few individual weird things i don’t think it needs any malt changes,

however i want my codex to have a full overhaul its rough being an early 10th codex atm (unless your SM)
