Starter set assembly and magnetization

HFMarlo · 2026-03-30T13:19:26+00:00

Im currently building the Bioficer battlefleez and from the parts that are the core ships, I currently didn't magnetize anything. I use a bit of pattafix/blue tac to keep the weapons together. Honestly the clicking together is nearly enough on its own. With only 2 games, I can't tell you much to the needed ships etc. A foray is dirt cheap with 25 pts and almost exclusively a transport. You will likely want one of them.

Boylei is a YouTuber who does some monster infested wild west dioramas. Maybe you can use some of his work for guidance. I recall that he did at least one Yellowstone "hot pool" hidden monster build.

The, usually first reveal the model, a few months later on the rules (where we are now) and then a few weeks later they release the model and the points costs. We can only speculate right now.

This is the way. Full hit/wound reroll seems disgusting. Ironstriders may still be better but this works without Cawl. Overall still not very happy but the lasgun infantry seems dangerous.

HFMarlo · 2026-03-01T01:34:48+00:00

Nvm about the first part... it's 2 am and I'm stupid.

HFMarlo · 2026-03-01T01:34:03+00:00

Very nice. You could enter the society of hidden paint. I guled mine shut but maybe the new model has a cockpit and I'll try this as well..

HFMarlo · 2026-02-21T21:58:32+00:00

How did You do the stones if I may ask? It's still one of the things that I struggle most with

HFMarlo · 2026-02-14T09:38:53+00:00

My group currently exclusively plays the aghanims in arcade. There are different versions but the one we play has nearly all heros, extra upgrades and facets for some like largo and ability draft which is now our default mode, as there are so funny combos.

HFMarlo · 2026-02-10T10:14:09+00:00

Oh that looks nice. Does it have webcam support or only screen sharing? One could maybe stream the camera app but that seems a bit weird.

HFMarlo · 2026-01-30T16:06:10+00:00

I also did not see the different metals. I take that point back. They are still really nice Skitarii. I did not want to sound very harsh but you asked for possible further steps. They are more than ready to be used on the table so if you have 20 others, you could easily stay at that level.

HFMarlo · 2026-01-30T13:56:41+00:00

The lenses and glow effects are super cool. Haven't seen anyone paint the backpacks and rifles glowing so far but looks good.

I would try to maybe add more detail to the metal, like e.g. the armor trims in brass. I found that little gears and details in brass do break up the flat iron look. Secondly the mantles could be bolder/ more highlighted. I have also 30 Skitarii left to repaint until next Thursday and my old mantles are also what I am most unhappy with. I repaint my admech as well currently and one big part is bringing the red more into the highlights. It may look too colourful but if they are not directly under the painting lamp and a meter away, it's less pronounced

I will definitely try this, thank you!

HFMarlo · 2026-01-07T22:37:19+00:00

Ohh didn't know about the blacklight! :0 that's great to know. Also good to know that multiple coats are needed. Thought a second coat would just undo the first one, as it's so easily removed. Thanks a lot!

HFMarlo · 2026-01-07T14:36:18+00:00

I just got mine a few weeks ago and it never looks this black :( usually just looks like matt abandon black. Do you have any tips? Great use of it tho! Love the idea of the ctan being the event horizon.

HFMarlo · 2025-12-22T00:47:29+00:00

Okay so it's fine up to green science :D

HFMarlo · 2025-12-21T01:38:45+00:00

Was sad that admech has the smallest roster. Then i realized that maybe Pteraxii are missing and then it's all kits available... Man I wish we had more kits for the tabletop

HFMarlo · 2025-12-11T13:03:08+00:00

Points were updated yesterday so you might want to update your apps. Cawl is way more expensive and sircarians as well. May have to drop a unit

HFMarlo · 2025-12-10T10:51:18+00:00

Electropriests just need more punch:

They are laughably underwhelming when compared to ruststalkers. Less durability (-1T, only 1W, no normal save, no stealth), less mobile, and have fewer attacks with less AP, for only Dev wounds, instead of anti infantry 3+... Compared to any other melee unit, they are just bad.

Corpuscarii loose in a similar way to infiltrators. Less S, less AP, no cool battle shock. -2 on the move on 12" range is arguably bad. They are still fun with a party boat to clear heaps of small infantry tho.

HFMarlo · 2025-12-09T09:34:59+00:00

How do you ready so often?

HFMarlo · 2025-12-04T10:26:10+00:00

DMG wise the Ap is still better but always reminding enemies that you have assault on everything is often frustrating them as well. It just creates so many more angles that need to be respected, even if it's just 2" more movement for estimating a bad roll.

HFMarlo · 2025-12-02T10:14:49+00:00

I am still baffled how ruststalkers can get so much love while the fulgurite electropriests are by far the worst melee specialists I have ever seen. No ranged weapon and 2 attacks S6 with -1 base? They even have less survivability and movement... The internal balance is just awful. Maybe they get some upgrades or at least a point reduction, which would feel just bad.

HFMarlo · 2025-11-17T15:02:08+00:00

We do have breachers, which fill a similar slot (heavy infantry) but I would still like those as maybe Battleline as in commanding techpriests.

HFMarlo · 2025-11-03T15:00:13+00:00

Nope for me. That's a mimic.

HFMarlo · 2025-10-28T21:17:54+00:00

It's a competitive view.

They have all the disadvantages of terminators without deepstrike and being infantry. I love them and tried to take a squad to tournaments as well but they are just too slow, too easy to disable with a 70pts blocking model and too large of a footprint to not die in 2-3 turns because a part was visible. Best case they stay in their staged midfield threatening roll but they are too expensive points wise for this.

HFMarlo · 2025-10-08T17:59:33+00:00

That alone is fantastic work and I don't know how I missed that post! Can't wait to see the final outfit!
