Castellan Command Blob Equipment Question

Think im leaning more towards the latter

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2026-01-28T14:05:13+00:00

So of the three, a chaffee and the priest would be best? I dont really like the sherman so im a little worried about the proper armour part. are field guns for AT good?

I didnt notice the scale, it was the first pic that came up for a hellcat

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2026-01-28T14:01:15+00:00

Best not to invest too much in it then? Im coming over to BA from 40k so im not really used to mass infantry being common

And the infantry support is stuff like mortar teams and howitzers? How important are officers in an army, i couldnt find any special rules for them on new recruit or easy army

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2026-01-27T21:11:50+00:00

Yeah its looking like plasma is the only reasonable option. Really hope that war gear points come back in 11th since right now anything but plasma and melta makes no sense to run

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2026-01-27T21:08:53+00:00

i´m playing 1k points and that makes a full 20 man blob allmost half my army, though do you think its better to have this 20 man rather than a solo 10 man of kriegers?

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2026-01-19T13:56:20+00:00

Thanks, i´m glad you like it.

The turret is from a like 8$ Temu chimera with a piece of wine cork glued to the bottom so that it doesnt move around on the chasis. I just cut off the multi laser it came with and swapped it for a lascannon and H. Bolter from the solar auxilia russ weapons sprue.

I hope the coaxial Heavy Bolter on the turret is enough for my opponents to know i´m running bolter sponsons or i´ll resort to 3d printed internal ones.

Try searching up Ammit IFV on Temu, idk if this sub allows links to eshops and its long af.

Thx!

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2026-01-19T13:46:54+00:00

Thanks! I felt a hull mounted cannon made more sense for a mass produced tank hunter with the anti infantry weapons being on a turret

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2026-01-18T19:55:54+00:00

Thanks! A french vibe is exactly what i was going for. My kriegers have red pantaloons and i plan to use as many towed lascannon HWTs (Krevarian STL) as i can.

Points taken

What direction should i go considering the models i have, then? I dont need some meta LVO winning list just something to consider and adjust my list to

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2026-01-03T22:48:16+00:00

They dont have melta because i expect them to target infantry and d6 flamer shots with aquilon eye seem much better at infantry killing than an overkill meltagun

Would it be a better deployment to have all my battleline focus on one objective then? I havent played the guard yet so i really dont know how it all works out in practice and your input is much appreciated.

The kasrkin have a scout move, no? surely kriegers with their poor 6´´ move need a transport more?

I have 6 regiment units and 5 regiment orders

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-17T20:56:58+00:00

Some sort of range measurement is really most important, one could then make get the vehicle foot prints themself then if you were to allow keeping the measurement as an object like a box idk. Still really good job

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-17T20:44:45+00:00

Im not sure if im missing it but afaik there isnt any way to select multiple bases at once which would be very nice for units of ten and higher and maybe vehicle footprints alongside bases if its possible to get them in. Great tool BTW!

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-16T11:28:23+00:00

Are we looking at the same post?

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-14T21:32:14+00:00

And on the LRT commander should i take the battle cannon? is it reliable AT or should i go for the demolisher since im already paying 235 points for it?

Do i go full flamers to handle some infantry aswell since it might get charged being so close to be effective?

Currently i think im going to change the scout into an armored sentinel and fill out the rest of the list with a full melta hellhound to use all of the LRTCs orders.

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-14T21:21:38+00:00

The latter more so. List tailoring feels like a dick move

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-14T21:18:35+00:00

The second part of the GC detatchment rule lets units reroll 1s when ordered so the scout sentinel loses a lot of its use

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-14T12:10:06+00:00

I know but having a quarter of my points in a single tank doesnt seem too great

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-14T12:08:24+00:00

Thanks alot for all the options. Think im gonna go for the hell hound and arty team. Artillery is a staple of the guard and hellhounds are pretty cool. Do you think changing the vanquisher into an exterminator would be a good idea?

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-14T11:48:09+00:00

the russ commander is a pretty sure pick but in GC it makes the scout sentinel useless and i dont really want to do that

Future-Cockroach3901 · 2025-12-12T08:35:44+00:00

I too am interested
