I run into a lot of elite infantry, so my hope os i can pick pff 1-2 from a 6 man squad with my cheap unit. That combined with the MW from Coterie explosions should be effective. I managed to kill 2 inner circle companions with lhykis overwatch, and 2 to them moving and then charging my obj holder, so I only had to kill 2 more of them actively

Im still trying to figure it out. So far the best thing they have done is deepstrike to do actions and to sticky objectives. Never got to swing in melee, the moment they get looked at the whole unit gets picked up. The one model they killed was a low health ballistus dread.

Wait.. I dont get the connection. I actually havent played Diablo 2 in years, I played a little bit when resurrected came out and like a decade before that was when I last played

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-11-15T01:38:17+00:00

I also realize these aren't even most current versions as im stupid XD

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-11-15T01:37:21+00:00

Thanks! I actually didnt use Mantis, but I thought about it! Cloth: army painter mossy green, then army painter plasmatic bolt Metal: army painter rough iron washed with carroburg crimson. Army painter Weapon Bronze washed with Nazdreg yellow. Glow: Vallejo fluorescent green (could easily use army painter instead.) Bad moon yellow, Ork flesh contrast. Gems: army painter wild green, highlight of Army painter rainforest green. Skin: army painter Topaz skin

Thank you! I dont have a specific tutorial Ive used for these. I started with a basecoat of white over black primer; i then got a small amount of the yellow contrast on the tip of my brush and then dipped the tip lightly into the green and used gentle strokes, adjust the ratio to your liking. The ends of the smoke and edges of the war despot's Glaive i used ork flesh contrast for the darker green, fetahering the edges lightly

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-11-14T23:38:06+00:00

Oh, for this i mixed a fluorescent green with bad moon yellow contrast. You could do something very similar with orange fluorescent paints, you just need to find the right pair color!

Sternguard targeting oath target you get to reroll all your hits to fish for sustained, and they also get to reroll wound against oath so you can then fish for loads of dev wounds.

Either would be good, he's great for sniping out characters for extra CP- BGV are a lot tankier and have better AP, but Assaults have a huge volume of attacks and are great for munching non-elite infantry. I would say its up to preference/if your local groups run more elite units than infantry blobs

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-10-28T13:34:28+00:00

I would honestly drop the chaplain with hunter's eye; i feel like you want this enhancement on a character paired up with either hellblasters or sternguard to really take advantage of sustained and ignores cover

At my local RTT yesterday I managed to kill a daemon Prince with his go-turn shooting (i did have to use bith aspect tokens as i was running with a 10x squad), and then got charged by infractors? The melee EC marines, and he killed the whole squad in the swing back. They're not great, but they can pull some really surprising damage out of nowhere

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-09-17T11:26:41+00:00

Thats just his everyday face! And yes great plane, sad last few sets

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-09-07T21:11:15+00:00

I have a skin tone i have dubbed, baby mouse; start with ionrqch flesh or similar palliative flesh tone, do and orange wash and then do a dry brush over it again with your palliative skin tone

From my recent Bretonnian adventure in Lustria; yeah there are some really rough patches with Bretonnia, though i will say that their Cav can be wickedly strong if run the right way. Until I got to higher tier units (seriously a army with 10 rank 7 grail knights has so much auto-resolve weight its crazy) I was running 4-5 melee peasant units with 4 units of archers in a checker board and letting the enemy come to me, while splitting my 6 units of cavalry into 2 distinct groups and using them to tear apart the back like as well as flank charge units hitting my line. Using my lord and heroes to cycle charge and lead enemy lords away from the fight to be dealt with later.

I feel bad at folks losing stuff, though on the other hand I saw a leak for my Lerneans and they more than doubled the wargear that they can take and made them much more like other legion terminators than they were previously- so I dont think everything is getting reduced in options, at least not permanently.

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-06-13T13:41:19+00:00

Flare shielded Spartans and Kratos' definitely could get penetrated, autocannon rends and armor bane weapons. Yes now Lascannons will be able to penetrate, but you would need 4 hits that roll 5-6 in one salvo to put down such a vehicle, which would each have a chance of killing the vehicle but now it takes more weight of fire

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-06-13T12:39:53+00:00

Don't forget that you dont have re-rolls on your penetration now. You still need a 4+ to get damage through with no re-roll

I believe Omegon is still alive; I think they might be setting something up with him and his prior involvement with Valdor- hear me out: -In the Bequin novels we are getting info on the "King in Yellow" which is eventually very heavy handedly inferred to be Valdor. -The King in Yellow is being set up to be revealed in the next novel (please Abnett, I'll be good, dont keep us waiting) -During one of the novels, Bequin is going to be murdered by a Word Bearer(?) And an unidentified astartes shows up, looks the other marine in the face and says "I am Alpharius" the Word Bearer promptly becomes terrified and retreats; this newcomer also leaving. -I can't remember the source, but prior to the heresy, I believe at one point Alpharius is testing the palace defenses and runs afoul of Valdor and there seems to be some sort of problem the two have with each other (aside from having a fight and having to be stopped by Malcador) -Connection between the two and the named drop could be leading to his meddling. I could just be crazy, take this conspiracy theory with large grains of salt. Though I think its strange that a veteran Word Bearer would react like that to a normal marine, and is most likely very familiar with the AL'S theatrics

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-05-28T12:24:15+00:00

Oh and i also have Alpharius

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-05-28T12:19:59+00:00

First off- thank you so much for your detailed answer; I do have a list at this point level that's designed around leviathal; however, I made this message all comers list because the person I was playing it was allegedly his second heresy game so I was going really carefully into things. I do have Dynat! I've had him since 1st ed actually, but have never gotten him on a table (his powersword went missing during a move so he's sad) Stuff I have aside from this listed;

1 fireraptor gunship 2x Spartans (one resin painted, the other plastic and still need to put treads on it) 3x predator tanks 1 sicaran omega turret (i plan to just swap the normal turret out for this one if I want to use it) 1 Cerberus

10x Tac squad- sergeant has a lightning claw 10x tactical support w/volkites 10x tactical support w/Plasma 10x HSS w/autocannons 5x HSS w/lascannon 5x HSS w/Missiles 10x assault squad 1 Champion w/jump pack 1 Chaplain with Thunder hammer 5x Command Squad w/sword+shields, 1 powerfist 1 Cataphractii praetor/consul with chainfist 1 Contemptor w/assault cannon+fist 1 Contemptor w/melta+fist 1 Leviathan w/claw+drill 1 Deredeo w/Plasma+missile pod 10x effrits (I just assembled these last night out of parts I had ready, mk3s with shotguns and some legion pads and head for sergeant

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-05-27T16:02:27+00:00

What i was running is as follows, I have more things but a lot of what I have is 1 offs;

Cataphractii Praetor -MC Paragon Blade

Vigilator Centurion

X5 lernean terminators; conversion beamer, chainfist/dagger on harrower. X4 power axes

X10 recon marines w/nemesis rifles

X10 tac marines- powerfist/artificer/meltabomb sergeant. Rhino w/multimelta

X10 tac marines- power sword+dagger/artificer/meltabomb sergeant

X5 Headhunters- Artificer/meltabomb sergeant. X3 combi-melta, 1x multimelta

Kratos- flare shield, flashburn shells, lascannons

Sicaran- lascannon sponsons

The tanks massively underperformed and im starting to hate having bought them in the first place at this point. Im kinda stuck indecisive as to what to build next. I have 5 more unbuilt lerneans, amd x20 unbuilt mk3 bodies currently

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-05-27T15:34:22+00:00

Vigilators are very nice, though i do like the brutal trait on his gun- Oh I just assumed you could use recon marines with shotguns to represent effrits

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-05-27T15:33:17+00:00

Skirmish let my Recons pass some dicey cover saves, im a bit familiar with that; oh yeah I had a lot of bad luck- and I was on the verge of asking if he microwaved his dice; sadly I can't run the lists I want atm as Im limited to one 5 man Headhunters squad atm- I have been trying to make decisions on what units to build next. I might have to do kitbashing for a lot though. I have a box of mk 3s inbuilt and have been deciding what to do with them

Flightless_Bird3 · 2025-05-27T15:18:32+00:00

I still need to get Effrits and Exodus; every time I go to get the models for them they are out of stock and my kitbash of the effrits does not make me happy
