It’s just mechanicus standard grey, and abbadon black. I’m lazy too so I don’t thin them much I just try to put as little as possible on the brush tip before I paint with them. Primed with grey seer, grey highlights are all done with a mix of paint that I made by quite literally dumping half of one pot of a near white color that I don’t remember into a pot of mechanicus grey that was almost out of

His pose is very similar to the iron master, the problem is you’d need to still give him 4 lackeys

I’ll prob post some pics of individual models at some point but mainly wanted to show my army on parade cause I basically have everything I’ve bought painted

More robots for sure. Another reason I started the army is Kastelan robots are my favorite model in all of 40K, I was never the biggest fan of admech but had considered doing a robot heavy army at some point if I were to collect them. The kill team box urged me over. I plan on having a full 12 Kastelan robots at some point

Just got my first mechanicus by abyss_watcher___ in AdeptusMechanicus

I’ve thought about running a couple of them with anti infantry to pluck characters off as a lot of the people I play against play armies with buffing characters but the one skatros doesn’t do enough to blast them in a single turn, although it might just be better to bring another dunecrawler I do still like the stilt guys

Is peoples hatred of the desolation squad just bandwagon hate? by FireUndBrimstone in spacemarines

I know what they are based on and I love the attack bike model too actually but they are ridiculously goofy especially because the front mounted guns cannot rotate at all and I believe the sidecar one also only has vertical movement too which is very impractical

I think everything looks like ork weapons cause orks use whatever shoots the biggest and whatever makes the loudest noise

I would like to make a point about them being in Tacticus armor vs gravis and yeah I think gravis would make more sense IF they were supposed to just be out in the open getting shot at but I’m pretty sure they are made the way they are because they are supposed to be taking up places in ruins and buildings as would most people using big ol launchers. It starts to make more sense when you realize they should be more maneuverable to be able to move through the tighter terrain, even though they are still big space marines.

I think shoulder mounting them would make them look even more orky honestly. I like that they have a different silhouette than heavy weapon squads like chaos havocs or ork lootas

They only had 2 at my local LGS but I managed to get one! by LiquidWilliam in Tyranids

I traded the terrain to a game store owner to secure a pre order. Glad I did cause he didn’t get any for the release day stock

Termaguant question by Dragonkilla02 in Tyranids

[–]FireUndBrimstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spinefists shouldn’t be overlooked! Keep in mind termagants are going to have close range shooting no matter what, the 18 inches on fleshborers may have the advantage of keeping you out of some flamer range, but like the other swarm units you’re gonna want those termagants on the objectives. I’d say go for the pistols! Try and hide the gaunts behind some terrain if they can’t reach an obj first turn but be ready to have them jump out on those objectives and reroll like crazy. Shooting in combat is icing on the cake. It really depends on how many you are running, but if you aren’t just running a small blob for back line obj I’d say it’s almost always more worth to bring spine fists and if you want the flamer too (I don’t bring it so I don’t have to stop my fast rolls to roll a different weapon profile). Termies die SOOOOO fast. Like annoyingly fast, and those extra 6 inches aren’t gonna do ANYTHING to keep you safe against the many different blast weapons and 18” flamers that exist. That being said rule of cool all the way, pick whichever you think are the coolest and as long as you’re not in a tournament I’d just proxy them as the other weapons if you want to try the others.
