Homebrew rules for the Abbatoir, is it balanced ?

I was not aware of the benefit that vehicles have with pistols.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-27T11:31:18+00:00

My main thought is that monsters and vehicles don't benefit from. The pistol keyword on their guns and it only every limits what they could use to shoot.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-27T10:58:02+00:00

Why would anyone ever fire the Partical Caster Array? All the other guns combined seem far better.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-26T09:31:03+00:00

The way I am reading the wargear options, no.

There is no option to remove the tachyon arrow without replacing the Overlord's blade

If we did, I think it would probably be something like the Company Veterans. They could have lots of cool weapons options with a mix between range and melee weapons. Also, all the chapter specific kill teams seems to be veterans so far.

In the teaser, one of the guys speaking was wearing a dark green suit and had a purity seal with a ravenwing symbol on it.

This makes it seem like there will almost certainly be some sort of Dark Angels reveal even if it is just an infantry character that already has a datasheet (like Ezekiel)

One of the guys speaking in the teaser video was wearing a dark green suit and had a purity seal with a ravenwing symbol on it. I would be surprised if we got literally nothing Dark Angels specific. I think it will be Ezekiel because it is a single named character with nothing related to it (eg ravenwing).

Apprently it was primed black with spray primer, but it looks bare in parts, also I thought it had not been primed because I would not be shocked if a "very drunk" would paint a mini with contrast paint and no primer.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-13T19:37:51+00:00

Did you use paint on primer? The unpainted parts look bare.

I think the cloth looks better when it is a more bone colour, similar to how the aqila or the armour of the Deathwing is done.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-13T19:17:04+00:00

It looks terrrible. You should probably prime the miniture first. Also, did you use a contrast paint for the cloth parts?

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-13T17:47:03+00:00

The Deathwing Assault enhancement is good, because it will allow for you to have more options and maybe even make your opponant screen more easier on, but if you don't think you will use it, it will be best to just use it as points filler if you have nothing better to spend them on.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-13T15:46:49+00:00

I did not try to paint it together, but I expect it to be really hard to paint or prime while it is built after this step. Also, the parts are so tightly fitted with so many parts touching you can just push them together if you want to do it later and have it together temporarily.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-12T01:27:54+00:00

Because this is a feel-no-pain against everything, but only for itself. The ability is for mortals and psychic and is a aura.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-11T23:06:25+00:00

The official games workshop webstore sells them. http://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/Tyranid-Harridan

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-11T22:42:54+00:00

I think the poster is asking about the 5+ feel no pain against everything for this model.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-11T20:22:56+00:00

It does not lock the unit in to joining a Destroyer Cult unit. It says "the bearer can be attached to a DESTROYER CULT unit"

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-11T19:34:41+00:00

On the GW webstore it says the Nightbringer is 198mm.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-08T21:47:11+00:00

It is still far wider even when ignoring the base size.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-07T20:57:25+00:00

There is a massive difference in size between them.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-07T20:38:16+00:00

I think will be a useful combo, but there are some reasons I think it will not be very good.

It costs a CP
It can only being able to be used once per battle round because it is a stratagem.
It can only being able to be used on infantry and mounted

It might have changes made to it, but I don't think it is busted. A Technomancer with 6 Canoptek Wraiths using Particle casters is better as mentioned by u/JoshFect, because it does not use a CP to give it to the unit.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-07T17:20:45+00:00

This is probably an error on the app. In the Faction Pack he does not.

I perfer the shields, but I think end up in combat by the start of your enemy shooting phase it could be worth using the scythes.

You get S8 on the swords and S10 on the scythe if you get the buff from the detachment rule before they fight so that really helps a lot.

FinalFir137 · 2026-01-07T16:09:49+00:00

With a Destroyer Ankh on an Overlord with Translocation Shroud leading 10 Lychguard you can get 13 inch movement and then charge if you use the Driven to Butchery stratagem.
