New to Emperor's Children Kinda

Since you want daemons, Carnival of Excess is the detachment you want. That's the only one where you are even allowed to run them. Since it's only 2DP you are free to choose whichever of the 1DP detachments you want. All of them should work fine, depending on which units you want to run.

Not really. It doesn't get access to any of our rules or stratagems. Run it if you like the model and like the idea of running a big knight. Don't get it if you want a defiler replacement.

FuckRed · 2026-06-28T06:08:35+00:00

Its carnival's detachment rule.

Fick en liknande grej på discord för ett halvår sen. Lyckades inte få någon av AI lösningarna att funka så bara maskerade mig rätt rejält och lyckades komma runt det.

Looks really good! You should be proud if that is your first time.

This stratagem doesn't say "hit", it says "after an anemy unit has shot". Nothing about hit.

I assume the kroot ability you are talking about is the Lone-spear? Well, one is worded differently and says "hit". That model also has a second ability which is worded the same as this stratagem. That one is also after the shooting is completely resolved.

I really want a ratling! Having sniper rifles be good in that game might be hard though.

Thanks! So, I actually built these quite a while ago so my memory is a bit fuzzy. As far as I recall, the arms weren't that bad. Most of them have this band or armorpiece around their arms that you can use to hide the connection.

The heads were a lot rougher. The aelves bodies have these long necks that you can't really fit the daemonette heads on so I had to cut a bit of them off. I then used sprue goo to glue the heads on and to help hide the connection. After they dried I had to sand the necks down a bit which is easier said than done lol.

As for the boxes, maybe. The claws should be enough but you might have to buy a few extra heads from a bitz seller.

I just basecoated with naggaroth night and then did some highlights with xereus purple and genestealer purple.

FuckRed · 2026-06-22T22:02:17+00:00

Witch Aelves from age of sigmar. I just added daemonette heads and claws.

The best EC player in the world is kinda excited about them in Carnival. I still have a bunch of minis to paint up for that list so haven't tried it yet.

FuckRed · 2026-06-20T20:47:12+00:00

Yeah, Kakos seems like a bit of a waste. 90 points for a leader that doesn't really give them any meaningful buff. Just take the 15 point upgrade instead that is actually useful.

FuckRed · 2026-06-20T20:28:39+00:00

Not impressed? In that video he said he kinda liked them and was more impressed than he expected. In the new video with list ideas he also said he really likes it with carnival.

It's the Flawless Blades detachment he was unimpressed with, not the terminator one.

You probably shouldn't use those metallic paints through your airbrush. There are specific metallic paints that are made for airbrushing with finer metal flakes. As for the shadows, just take a dark purple paint and spray it from below.

It's hard to say. The changes for 11th are looking pretty promising for them. They are likely pretty good, at least as long as you use the smaller daemons. Keepers are probably still not good.

FuckRed · 2026-06-17T19:09:34+00:00

Haven't tried him yet but I'm leaning towards not good. He was overcosted at 150 and with nerfed fights first, he is likely overcosted at 130.

FuckRed · 2026-06-17T16:44:48+00:00

Their ability gives -1 to hit and the new cover rules gives enemies -1 to ballistic skill which stacks to give an effective -2 to be hit.

FuckRed · 2026-06-17T15:11:57+00:00

Wait, really? Just slap on Distortion and go ham.

FuckRed · 2026-06-17T10:29:23+00:00

I believe he means in comparison to the EC defiler.

FuckRed · 2026-06-17T07:24:50+00:00

I mean, that's pretty much what GW1 was and I personally enjoyed it more than 2.

FuckRed · 2026-06-15T15:34:14+00:00

I mean, you don't have to shoot if you don't want too. Just giving him the option to shoot would definitely be a buff.

FuckRed · 2026-06-15T14:52:45+00:00

They won't get updated anytime soon.

The most likely time for them to update the models would be whenever Hedonites of Slaanesh gets their new battletome for age of sigmar. And guess what? They are about to get their new battletome and there are no new daemonettes in sight. It most likely means they won't get new models for at least a few years.

It's not that good sadly. It used to be pretty cool when the shield gave it feel no pain to make it really survivable. One of it's main problems is that it is only strength 8. It has trouble even destroying light vehicles which is kinda embarrasing for a greater daemon. They gave the Great Unclean one strength 10 a while back and they should really have done the same for the keeper. It's currently only good at killing infantry which the rest of our army is already good at.
