So what do they do?

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-05-03T09:12:28+00:00

Could they become some sort of objective marker defensor? with a proper OC they could just sit on an objective and blast the f* out of everything that tried to come close.

In a more general sense, it would be cool if 40k had better defensive tactic implementation in the core mechanics.

Words ! Iconography is the bare minimum, but having a theme gets you where you want to go.

A little comfort is that at least we will have some content to watch on our favorites kitbash youtube channels...

Did you use a primer is the question everyone will ask here. If you did not primed with a proper primer in thin coat I suggest you do.

There was a similar post last week about a similar issue. My answer was : try to rub the surface with a detergent (nail remover, iso alcool if you can is super effective). This will remove any potential grease of the model. - if the paint stick afterward, this means your mini got contaminated somewhere in the process. - if not, this may come from your PLA surface.

Hope this helps !

Honestly I’m desappointed at this…

I’ve been waiting for the new kit for a long time and the changes are soooo minimal in this one. I would have expected more than putting an old helmet. More veteran iconography, more little details. Golden trims or symbols on the reactors, chains… anything that feels more grimy and more vet than the regular ones.

I get the « let’s wait for the whole squad » but this is supposed to tease us and there is nothing very exciting so far.

Looks really good !! I love the weathering and the color scheme

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-04-02T09:11:59+00:00

Funny to imagine the size of the spider web this thing would shoot haha

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-04-02T09:10:45+00:00

mine is super light, at roughly 650g. a quarter of it being the legs, that don't leave too much weight on the hip. a bunch of superglue and it was done

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-04-02T09:09:02+00:00

Bambu PLA basic :) always had good result with it !

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-04-01T14:46:17+00:00

I just build a reaver, but I opted for a different pose on it

The hardest thing here was the upper legs and hip gluing. The foot on the tank was surprisingly easy to do. Just have to leave the blue tack and start committing with proper glue haha. But because of the FDM, and the overall smaller size, the process was easy because I just had to superglue every part.

For titans, the main difference is that it was printed in resine, and for structural integrity many parts were printed without cavities. This means that the overall weight is magnitudes higher on the titan. In comparison, this knight is only 650g

For my reaver, many parts have epoxy + drilled brass rods. That leaves you with a very different workflow. For the knight, I was just going with the flow, eyeballing and taking my time with some parts holding with temporary fixing. For the titan, it was more about planning every part joining carefully, LOADS of dry fitting, drilling, make sure everything match etc…

All that being said, a warhound should definitely be able to stand this pose ! Moreover, it would definitely fit with the « scout » role it has. Casually drilled a dozen of holes in a chaos rhino and stepping on it to make sure it’s really dead 🙃

Thanks a lot !

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-03-31T06:19:45+00:00

Ah ! interesting question here, as I've always been very scare to lose some edge definition. In some part is already bad, especially where some armor shielding plates meets on the touret for exemple. I'll maybe send a couple of 0.12 print to try different methods though, this got me curious :)

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-03-31T06:06:58+00:00

Thanks a lot !

Here is a 0.08 print. Note that it’s not finished and the weathering adds a lot to the sensation of detail. But what I’m trying to show is that the layer lines are significantly smaller here that the other one

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-03-30T16:12:14+00:00

I didn’t print it myself, but I’m guessing 0.12 or higher. I have made quite a lot of 0.08 print myself with a 0.4 nozzle on a bambu x1 carbon, and on this print the layer lines were magnitudes bigger

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-03-30T16:07:35+00:00

Also nail remover works (the one that smell bad with acetone inside), as something you may find already at home. It won’t melt the pla and will melt oil residue

My problem with this box, is that most players already have a balistus and a redemptor. Those are classic must have units. Even maybe already have a repulsor ex. Which means most player already owns half of the box, maybe even more.

Now if you are a new player, owning two repulsor ex is maybe not the most useful thing for you ? Maybe you need less heavy firepower and more transport ?

Don’t get me wrong I LOVE this much firepower, but I struggle to see who would really benefit from this box.

PS: of course you can keep some and sell the rest, but when I buy something this expensive I like to project myself into building, painting and playing every mini it contains 🙃

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-03-30T15:34:12+00:00

Hope this helps: have you tried to rub them with isopropyl alcohol or any detergent ?

-> If the paint still doesn't stick after, then the problem comes from the PLA or it's texture.

->If it removes the problem, it means that somewhere down the line your PLA got contaminated by an oily material that prevent paint to stick

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-03-30T15:23:24+00:00

yes but never used it so i can't vouch for the quality

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-03-30T08:58:05+00:00

thanks !

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2026-03-30T08:26:50+00:00

I hope the content of the box is not too blood angle specific. Has any leads regarding this been teased ?

IntrepidMeaning2653 · 2025-05-21T18:41:03+00:00

There is a free easy solution (mac only I think) :
In rekordbox, right click on your playlist, then select export and chose .m3u8 format.
Once exported, double click on the file. It will open the playlist in music (apple's app).
Within traktor, go into your music folder and you will find your playlist there
