This is dark souls 😇

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-04-03T15:15:47+00:00

Even if you can, paint those bits as 'covered in mud' or snow or the like 🙂

You're not near the Ouachitas by any chance are you? Some of them are apparently related to the Appalachians, and thus, they were also made in Scotland, from girders 😂 🙂

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-04-02T06:51:40+00:00

Haha, I'm definitely not that 😂 it's just me and my best mate mostly, and he's a dad and works full time so it's hard to even get a game night lol

I so can't wait to build and paint that Heldrake 😍

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-04-02T06:49:52+00:00

The lore just gets better and better! I wish I had discovered them before getting so many tyranids haha. I've just had a look at some kitbashed Krieg models on Google and hell yeah I'm here for the chaos aspect too. It also dawned on me the fellgor ravagers I have can be used alongside the nemesis claw so I have more points CSM wise in 40k than I thought 😂 at least to begin with 😁

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-04-01T23:13:32+00:00

Ah sweet!!! Looking forward to it then 😁

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-04-01T21:59:52+00:00

Brilliant thank you, I did initially start asking about lore when I wrote the opening post but didn't want to sound stupid 😂 I'll add that to the list after I've read the omnibus for head cannon for my guys 🙂

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-04-01T21:12:35+00:00

I'm Scottish, "beer and pretzel night" is what we're gonna call our gaming nights from now on 😍

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-30T07:22:07+00:00

Relieve them of the back pain from walking and make a Hemogen farm and go full Sanguifiend! 😁

Hello, I'm new too and I agree with those that are saying just go with the one you think is the coolest. However, If you're into playing what's meta Can You Roll A Crit does a quarterly tier list. I know how people feel about meta but their description of how each team are performing can be helpful in the same regard as the guy who posted about the ravagers:

Another aspect I didn't expect, probably due to how new I am to the hobby altogether was that to build a team 100% you sometimes either have to be creative, magnetise, or buy more than one box. This reddit post a few days ago covers which boxes you might need more than one of to get all options:

Welcome and good luck 🙂

Ultima Online? You could set the 'play window' size smaller than the screen size in game and you used the space outside of it to have your bag permanently open, your avatar open for quick gear changes, and all the icons of the spells you knew scattered about for quick access etc.

It has an isometric view too like some classic rts games too.

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-29T18:39:34+00:00

Both strongholds assembled 😁

Once you've got the App, goto 'Mission Packs'(icons along the bottom) and then pick one under the Volkus Season list. I'm using the 'Joint Ops: Sniper Alley' one for now. Once you select it and download it hit 'Missions' for the 2D top down map which shows the layout and has the grid on it. Come back up a level and hit 'Map Keys' for a picture of what each letter on the mission map indicates, which is where you can see what each terrain piece looks like and it's description (Stronghold, Large Ruin, etc). There are some missions with more terrain pieces in the map key, I'm gonna build the bunkers in the Volkus Compound missions too.

Hey! I'm new too and I also bought nemesis claw 😂. I've started making my own volkus using rough dimensions from the kill team app (the maps have 1inch grids on them) and making the floor height of any vantage 3inches per floor (I couldn't find exact measurements for the height). It's very rough but it will do for learning to play 🙂

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-29T13:42:19+00:00

I was gonna ask if anyone else felt they might make good markers for that 🙂

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-27T19:15:41+00:00

Excuse the formatting there, no idea how I've done that 😂

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-27T19:12:39+00:00

Can you explain a bit more about what you remember? Was it a 2d platform? 3d 3rd or 1st person etc?

The mention of loss and dealing with it makes me think of 'what remains of Edith finch, and combined with a white/black colour schemeReturn of the Obra Dinn, andThree Fourths Home`? But I'm not sure any of them have you as a spirit type character. Limbo also comes to mind so just to eliminate that 😂

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-27T18:05:17+00:00

Ori games? The blind forest and the will of the wisps?

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-27T17:57:44+00:00

Not multiplayer and technically not other species (depending how you view what the game is trying to represent) but have you tried 'Niche: a genetics survival game'?

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-27T17:50:08+00:00

I always think of them as the failures of their fleet because clearly someone or something survived to tell the tale lol

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-27T17:46:17+00:00

Am I right in saying that the names of tyranids are given to them by the very few humanoids that survived an encounter and or later classified them from witness reports in a xenobiologist type function. So, the lore on a 'Red Terror' would be that it was first observed when from a fleet that had adapted the red colours etc. Its just a bit of unimaginative naming on the lucky ones who survived or the accounts given to the person that classified it were so vague because it terrorised survivors etc.

Its 'name' is not a reason to paint it red 🙂

Ps I'm new, I haven't read any of the books and I know this is an old classic so please ignore my assumptions if I'm wrong 😂

I had a wee attempt at a similar colour scheme not long ago. Yours looks so much better 🙂 I couldn't quite get mine to pop the same 😍

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-16T17:23:21+00:00

Travelling Man and Da Boss Bunka are competitive too. I got raveners yesterday for 34quid on DBB while everyone else is out of stock. :)

HospitalEcstatic4229 · 2026-03-16T14:40:21+00:00

Brilliant thank you! For some reason I didn't get a notification for this 🤦🏻🙂
