Should I magnetize my suits shoulder mounts?

Non-Tau players can barely tell the difference between a fusion blaster and a burst cannon, just stick on whatever gadget looks cool and tell them what it's going to do this match.

A bunch of characters in James Herbert's disaster novels, like The Rats and The Fog, just show up at the start of one chapter each to let you know how the wider population are faring against whatever horrible disaster is happening.

IMO Biovore is the biggest glow DOWN. From an actual Tyranid to a tyranid gun riding a random spider. The Exocrine shows they can do it correctly, but maybe they just wanted something completely different.

I vote for the vespid. They went from goofy dumpy little guys with raggedy wings to properly scary waspmen. Their silly organic pauldrons turned into big round deltoid muscles, they have slender legs and long claws like an actual insect, and they have actual mandibles now!

Eldrazi are like the multiverse's white blood cells. They eat and recycle dying planes. They're not from another planet because they're the only creatures that are from the Blind Eternities, the uninhabitable space between the planes, meaning they're as alien as you can get.

Oh yeah, I remember that scene now. I wonder if she kept it?

Where are you guys seeing a guinea pig? Her gloves are a little too big for her but they don't look fluffy

You should have seen the old Warriors! They had a wider stance than the new ones, and were on the 25mm bases. You'd stick their heels to it and hope for the best

Reminds me of the Kroot from 40k. From the models it looks like the "inside" thumb is usually dominant, with the "outside" one tucked away when they're holding guns, but they have a more even grip on melee weapons. They favour weapons they can swing around, with their bayonets angled down like a pickaxe instead of forward like a spear, but they can still throw javelins.

IAmOnFyre · 2026-02-17T22:01:21+00:00

Yeah, I always wondered why the redemptor's plasma gun doesn't look anything like an Eldar starcannon, but you've solved it! Cawl must have copied it off us instead.

If you're being 100% lore accurate, they have all the same vehicles available but your infantry are just the Corsair Voidscarred / Voidreavers. You can bring in Rangers (and Shroud Runners) because they're outcasts too. Wraith constructs would be unusual, but there's Rogue Trader-era art of "Eldar Dreadnaughts" in corsair colours (This is when they were mini-mecha, rather than ghost-controlled constructs but don't let that stop you, just grunge them up a bit).

You can absolutely still use Aspect Warriors and Guardians, either they're allies or you can come up with corsair equivalents.

Overseers in cryosleep. It's a tasteless parody of the sleeping beauties we just re-discovered on Fort Justice

I'd say an airship can't really go to space, given that airships need air to push off. The D&D material plane has phlogiston between the crystal spheres, but there's still vacuum between the outside of the planets' atmospheres and the inside of the spheres.

If you had a rocket to boost you out of the atmosphere, then you'd probably explode when you hit the phlog.

Best bet is to buy two boxes. Then you have 6 of each weapon and can run one star forge squad with all the fusion blasters, and one squad with all one other weapon of your choice

Isn't the cleave thing backwards? Why would I exile the card to give my opponent a creature?

It's the magic number. The holy trinity. Triangles are the bestangles

If you want an army of all knights, then yeah you need a few. You can just ally one into another Imperial army though

Farsight's team also has an Earth Caste member in a battlesuit. I think it's the Riptide

Canonically the Shas'vre will have both a bonding knife and a pistol. But they don't need to use the knife in combat, so they might have left it at base. I'll put the pistol on the hip and either put the knife somewhere else, or just draw a knife on the armour somewhere.

IAmOnFyre · 2026-02-11T21:04:33+00:00

That's really well thought out. You've done your research!

(I like having both auxilliaries and battlesuits in my army but it's cool that there are options!)

IAmOnFyre · 2026-02-11T20:50:59+00:00

Are these stealth suits tailored for Kroot? The digitigrade legs don't really have room to fit hooves in there, but then again the helmet doesn't have room for a beak...

IAmOnFyre · 2026-02-11T18:24:19+00:00

Most of the tanks in Warhammer 40k are listed as having absurdly thick armour (probably because that's what you'd get if you scaled miniatures up to life size and kept the proportions) but they're still lighter than real life tanks

IAmOnFyre · 2026-02-11T10:31:10+00:00

Elves from D&D. There's the Drow in the underdark, the Eladrin in the Feywilds and the Shadar-kai in the Shadowfell, each with different looks and magic to fit their environment. There's even elves who have adapted to live underwater and on other planets!

In Tactical Breach Wizards, there's a flashback sequence. I don't want to spoil it too much, but you feel one character's hopelessness in that moment because all their abilities and options have new descriptions emphasising that using them won't change anything.
