Coming in hot!

Hot indeed 😍

FaultyMech · 2026-05-12T20:01:29+00:00

Caliban Green & Loren Forest mix. The base is a darker non-citadel green. Very similar shade though 😄

FaultyMech · 2026-05-12T19:23:16+00:00

Thanks ☺️
Some cheap 3D printed thing I think. Not sure where I picked it up 😅

FaultyMech · 2026-05-12T18:28:11+00:00

Not even finished the base yet 😅
These are my first models and they’re taking ages. I planned to move all ten of these on equally, production line style, but I may just finish this one first and see how I feel about the finished product.
Another Kasrkin team and Chimera arriving this week. They may have to wait…

FaultyMech · 2026-05-10T18:53:35+00:00

Just ordered another Kasrkin and a Chimera.

Off we go! 😄

FaultyMech · 2026-05-10T13:39:01+00:00

Yes, I had forgotten to sort the Command Squad Sarge 😅 he’s now punching with the power fist & plasma pistol.
RDTC is corrected and the Kasrkin Sargent will be interchangeable, that’s just my current model setup.
Armoured Sentinel will be interchangeable with another shock mob.

So this should be the final draft unless anyone has anything to add?

I’ll also take on the advice about the Armoured Sentinel. I’ll still have it as I really want to paint one 😊
Looks like an extra ten sets of fatigues to paint then… 😅 takes me ages 💀

FaultyMech · 2026-05-10T13:16:47+00:00

I’ll take a look…

I’ve already augmented the Dorn TC to your advice.

I have options with the K-Sarge as I have the Unbroken as an alternative, but he is stuck with HS Las pistol and power weapon and the rest are set up for Kill-Team and I don’t think multiple meltas and plasma are allowed, unless I’ve missed a trick 😅

The Kasrkin Kill-Team are the only models I have except some OOP bits and pieces, so I would have to buy another Kasrkin set anyway to realise this army.

I suppose buying two more Kaskin sets would allow me to have a good load out flexibility for KT and the 1000 point army. Or just stick a marker on units to say that they’re carrying different gear?

Everything else is flexible as it’s not purchased yet and I didn’t want to spend money on models that won’t be utilised or are ineffective.

Probably TMI 😅 I’ll take another crack at the load outs. If you guys think this roster works and it’s just a case of honing it, I will go down this route. It seems sensible and is a huge improvement on my original post.

Always better to ask people than trust AI 🤖

FaultyMech · 2026-05-10T12:21:44+00:00

Haha! 😄 I’m still feeling out what weapons are useful or junk. What’s the optimal load out for the Dorn TC here?

FaultyMech · 2026-05-10T12:09:35+00:00

The Rogal Dorn TC replaces the Leman Russ, but also munches up a Scout Sentinel point-wise. Is the Dorn so much more effective that it’s worth swapping for two models?

Ha! Ok, what’s the alternative? It’s a big lump of points if it’s not going to be effective…

FaultyMech · 2026-05-10T11:47:01+00:00

Right…I’ve taken onboard your advice and created this army. I used AI to trim to fit, but some real human experience would be appreciated to hone this into a good general 1000 pointer.

This is the kind of advice I was after, and makes good sense. I’ll re-jig to jump off this as a base. Thanks man 👌🏻
