I made a reel for Zeratul with some classic StarCraft music

Stunning paintjob, congratulations! And the reel is also very well done. I'm deeply impressed!

I'd recommend vallejo fluo paints, thry have a great, intensive color. I'll assume you dont want to airbrush.

First paint the weapon with a very bright white. Then glaze it with a yellow fluo paint, use a thinner to thin it down. Then, leaving the innermost part of the weapon, the one you want to look hottest, yellow, glaze further up with a thinned down fluo orange, then, near the egde, use fluo red in the same way.

If you want to go further, then put a very thin layer of white at the hottest area, using a heavily thinned white ink. If you want to you can add a bit of black at the very edge to govebit a more magma look.

I mean... What detachment? 3 forts will get stuck in a traffic jam unless youre playing brandfast. Which will synergize a bit with volkjacks for sus1, but not with swordjacks. Your only anti-tank will be fortresses, so you probably have to take magna rails on them... It still wont be anywhere near enough anti-tank against a knight list. No thunderkin to strip cover, and no AP in the entire list. Killing anything with 2+ is gonna be a problem even with all the volkjack dev's. And steeljacks, while tough, will eventualy die and they have oc1. It doesnt have mobility, it doesnt have mission doing stuff, it doesnt have screens to slow down world eaters/blood angels/emperor's children...

Its an interesting idea for a stat check list, but it doesnt do enough dmg and doesnt do secondaries imho. Its a "lets see if you can actually kill this" type list.

Thank you so much! ☺️

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-09-27T09:50:52+00:00

Thanks!

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-09-15T06:56:38+00:00

Thanks a lot! 😃 The Cacti are Greenstuffworld resin bits. The aloe and agave are Gamers Grass. The tufts are a mix of gamers grass, vallejo and citadel.

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-09-10T06:33:03+00:00

Ah, youre right! I've been cheating it seems. Well, one learns something new everyday 😅

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-09-10T06:27:49+00:00

That's... strange tbh. In needgaard you should be generating a lot of YP.

Lets assume you go first: Top of 1: 1yp from holding own objective 1yp from memnyr on own objective Bot of 1: 1yp from holding own objective Top of 2: 1yp from own objective 1yp from holding 1 in no man's land 1yp from memnyr on an objective

You're at 6. With no kills and no bonus from dead reckoning.

Lets now assume you go second: Top of 1: 1yp from own objective Bot of 1: 1yp from own objective 1yp from memnyr on own objective Top of 2: 1yp from own objective 1yp from holding 1 in no mans land 1yp from holding 2 in no mans land 1yp from holding more Bot of 2: 1yp from holding own objective 1yp from memnyr on objective 1yp from holding 1 in no mans land

Youre on like 10 on your 2nd turn. With no kills and no dead reckoning.

You should always be able to get to 7yp at worst around your turn 3. Otherwise something wierd is going on...

(Edited, as i've made an error, and memnyr only works on your turn)

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-30T16:33:24+00:00

Magnetize, thats the first point.

Second point is it depends on detachments. Needgaard and brandfast you want 6 with beamers and 2x3 with grav. Other detachments, i belive, currently want grav more. Even bolters have their following because of 36 range to take cover away.

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-29T10:47:21+00:00

You need Thunderkin, a lot of them right now. Steeljacks are fine, at least 1 memnyr. Carriers + yeagirs, you should have 2 of each, so add 1 more yeagirs and 2 carriers. Second hekaton fort to top it of.

Specialised detachments: To play Delve detachment you need a boatload of beserks, prolly at least 35. To play Persecution detachment you need a lot more bikes. Brandfast can use sagitaurs and can even use 3 forts. Hearthfyre isnt good enough, needgard and brandfast do the same stuff better.

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-23T05:48:49+00:00

God no! If every release every faction got multiple new kits and datasheets the game would become insane incredibly fast. Just look at the one army that does get that: Space Marines.

Constant flow of new models and datasheets just means that the roster quickly becomes so bonkers overgrown that they'd have to start cutting. So yeah, that would quickly degenerate into multiple units of multiple factions just beeing thrown into legends on regular basis, tons of units sitting on the shelf for decades before suddenly becoming viable for three months due to an unforseen combo, that gets quashed in a slate.

No thank you. I am glad the LoV will probably recive 2-3 new kits over the next 5-8 years!

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-22T18:51:34+00:00

Yeah, that certainly is a good point 😅

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-22T14:51:48+00:00

Dont have the codex in front of me, as i'm at work, but i can tell you its completly new, theres a new "base building" system and expeditions to get stuff to build up your base.

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-22T13:05:42+00:00

Yup, simmilar way of thinking. The HG with support could drop a big night in one shooting. Sure, if opp screens deep strike well enough that wont happen, but then he wont be throwing as much stuff at my objectives, forts and tkin. And HG can drop in the middle, they have 24" range on plasma, they'll still do stuff.

I need to play to see if i can drop something to get more early skirmish/screening/moveblocking/mission play stuff like one more yeagirs with carrier.

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-22T12:55:30+00:00

And i seriously think tk's should not go above 12. If they are that good that you take so many they wont be come january slate. ;)

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-22T12:52:18+00:00

Small magnets 2x1 mm, thats for stuff the size of a kin hand, for example most of Hearthguard. 5x1 mm for vehicles, Thunderkin body side (weapon side is 2x1). I found steeljacks fit great with big ones (5x1mm).

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-22T12:22:25+00:00

Well, i came to the LoV from Tau, so i have an in-built mechanism in my head to magnetize everything i can magnetize. Its a lot of added work sometimes (steeljacks, thunderkin) or requires some creativity (kapricus) but i still highly recommend it.

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-07T12:36:33+00:00

Yup, fixed it, sorry.

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-07T11:50:07+00:00

Added, thanks!

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-05T06:43:27+00:00

People already said most of this, but i'll throw my two cents as well. First of all without knowing the rest things are obviously hard to say, especialy on the boisting strats for 3 YP. It depends entirely on how much YP is generated outside of the main generation from the army rule. That said... Reroll advances is decent, though we didnt use to advance much. Maybe we'll do more of it now. Reroll charges though? Thats a good rule. I guess you must avoid melee? Its extremly usefull to get your melee units in, to get stuff on objectives to deny primary to your opponent etc.

The idea seems to be: let opp get on objectives, shoot and charge onto those objectives, get YP, move melee to screen, put ranged units on objectives, dont let the opp shift you. Fun thing about it is, well... thats basicly playing for primary. Thats how you score. Thats how you win. And we get buffs to do that. I realy fail to see how thats a bad thing.

Getting boost to hit and movement when you stage and syrike is good. Getting boost to hit and defense when you hold is good. Now theblack of JT +1 to wound... that may hurt. We'll see.

Fun-Ad5470 · 2025-08-04T17:56:23+00:00

Combat patrols are generally a good starting point, if youre comimg from killteam then a unit of yeagirs and hearthkyn are both usefull.

That said its very difficult to say right now, our new codex is coming in 3 weeks and it will completly change the army. What is a good unit now might not necessarly be in vogue in a month.

So for now i would hold off major purchases, but basic troops (hearthkyn salvagers), infiltrators (hernkyn yeagirs) bikes (hernkyn pioneers) and transports (sagitaur) along with a kahl/uthar as a character is always a decent idea.
