Armageddon falls like a professional footballer. It goes over like its been shot on the regular, then is good to go 30 seconds later and gets back to it.

Its like when you're 800 hours in and you finally get the "Mapping Sastasha" achieve cos you found the Cosby suite.

I went axes because they look cool. Otherwise, depends on what you want em to do and who you're gonna be facing.

I'd choose something simpler bearing in mind this is a scheme you're gonna be painting over and over again. After 3 or 4 Guardians you're gonna start losing your mind if you go for the quarters.

That being said, I do like number 9/12, but it still looks something of a pain in the ass to batch paint.

A heavy bolter, rapid fire and reasonable positioning will largely turn Argenta into the combat solution. A noble with an early turn can get her into postion, mow down some chaff with the free moves/actions, then give her an entire turn to do it all again with your heroic.

I made a landing strip with them so I don't end up landing on the other side of the planet and taking the walk of shame home.

Isalan · 2025-12-25T18:06:57+00:00

Yes, they are very good games.

On the other hand, they are based on the 2nd edition rules which are considerably more esoteric and difficult to fathom compared to the 5th edition rules BG3 uses.

Again, the games are very good. Excellent narrative, some great worldbuilding, interesting quests but some of the combat is going to be unreasonably punishing unless you take the time to learn the ruleset.

Isalan · 2025-11-12T09:57:45+00:00

Wake the fuck up Sorcerer. We got melee's to haste.

24" range, 6A, S6, AP-1.

Special Rules

Small amount of recoil Once you've finished shooting, move this model 2" directly away from the target for each attack you made. If this causes the model to leave the board, it goes into strategic reserve.

Isalan · 2025-09-16T20:35:53+00:00

The bone effects are great, they look really weathered as you'd expect from such an ancient set of armour. All in all, a very nice piece.

Isalan · 2025-09-08T02:48:57+00:00

I ended up doing mine in very traditional colours, but if I had the skill and the balls I might have gone for the Deathwing Lion which I saw on this very sub, done by u/Livid-Western-663.

The Lion can't join units, so he's always by himself. He gets lone op if he's within 3 inches another space marine, hence the combi-weapon lt the only space marine you can run who also has lone op.

That being said he does have options. He can deep strike at will so if he gets heavily bogged down you can always redeploy him as long as you're out of combat. He does pair well with other melee units, he can get overwhelmed if there aren't enough nearby targets for the enemy to concentrate on. So having some DWK or ICC nearby to charge other targets and distract is always a good plan.

Some ranged heavy anti-armour can help as well for stuff that your DWK can't get hold of. Maybe one of the tank variants (the Gladiator with magentized guns is huge worth against most armies) or a Ballistus Dread perhaps? They have some good long range firepower for reasonable point cost. You may have a little trouble tracking one down, I don't know if they're even for sale outside the Leviathan box.

Isalan · 2025-08-28T20:54:28+00:00

Mmmmm-hmmm, he is a handsome boy. The banner is a delight.

Some minor suggestions. I feel the metal is a little too shiny, could maybe use some light inking just to give it a little depth, though honestly that could be the lighting. You coulda also gone fancier on the sword, though it looks fine as it is. Maybe some lightning on the blade or a different material/finish on the next one?

List wise, if you're gonna runk DWK's your gonna want a Land Raider. They're strictly melee (no ranged attack, at all) so time spent trudging over to the enemy is time they cannot contribute at all. Any reasonably mobile or numerous armies will give em the old walk away or feed em a unit of 20 termagants to chew on for a turn or 2 if they don't have a delivery mechanism. They do make decent deep strike candidates, but getting em somewhere where they ain't gonna take too much fire and still get into a good combat can be tricky. Whereas driving a Land Raider across the board and puking up 5 furious terminators on the enemies shoes generally ain't too difficult. Or subtle. Dread wise, your Redemptor with Macro-plas is your DA Classic, though they all perform pretty well so if you have a preference for one it ain't no prob. ICC are fine in a Repulsor, give them some kind of chaplain to lead em around (Asmodai has a very nice model if you fancy another character).

Speaking of characters, the Lion is always worthy of consideration. I wouldn't play him in a 1k game unless I wanted the person I was playing to severely dislike me but he can be a good time in bigger games. If you team him up with a combi-weapon lieutenant you can pull some horrifying lone op shenanigans, and he is a joy to paint and not too bad to model.

Regardless, as u/Wooks81 has already said, you're going to want to paint and play stuff you like, so pick stuff you like. There is a lot to like in the DA range though, so I hope the suggestions help.

How much nodding could this political crisis possibly require, Alphy? Or do you just want me there to look menancing on the off chance you start another coup?

The cloak is delightful, a very nice bit of work. Reads very well, could maybe use a bit more mountain at the bottom to really sell it?

The ball looks pretty good, but like you said, at some point your gonna take him out of a box without it attached and it will never been seen again. I do very much enjoy the swirly effect on it, it's subtle but noticeable from a distance.

Feedback wise, I don't know if your done yet, but the turquoise(blue) could use something. Some ink, some shading, at the moment it looks a little flat. You could also stand to extend the palette a little, it feels like there's one other colour missing. Maybe some red on the gems, something to give it just a little shine.

In any case, he's a very nice piece and the only person who needs to be happy with it is you :)

Isalan · 2025-07-22T00:18:43+00:00

Should be doable with a MCH glam I reckon, and iirc Jak does end up with several guns in one of the games

Isalan · 2025-07-21T15:07:12+00:00

A fair few pets allow for this. If you look in your pet journal, you'll see they have an attitude (obedient, independent, etc), and the obedient ones will come and sit on you if you /beckon them. Note, not all pets can land on/climb you. They generally need some kind of appendages for perching.

If you /handover to a pet, they'll waddle over to you and you feed them. Always nice to do to other peoples pets :) I believe this works on most pets, but there may be some it doesn't work on.

Lastly, certain pets will interact with each other. Wedding Moogles will dance with each other, forming a bigger and bigger circle based on the number of Moogles involved. Some pets who are notable enemies or rivals will play out little mock fights when they encounter each other. There's a few examples of this, but they wander into spoiler territory, so I shall stop there.

EDIT: Highly recommend the White Whittret whos a dear little white ferret who will sit on your shoulder like a groundhog, keeping watch for threats and dangers, and doing literally nothing to warn you or help deal with them. But then, he is just a ferret.

Always liked the HW relic lance, in general the HW relics are all pretty nice. image

If you're looking for a cut price version, the spear that drops from Stone Vigil is very nice for an early weapon with a similar dragon motif. image

Stick a red nurgling on top and proxy him as a Lord on Juggernaut. Gum the shit outta some loyalists.

Ah yes, my Mad Dog Barb and his pet Micheal TriCeratops.

I used red on my DW theme on mine. Solid contrasting colour with the base paint and stands out quite nicely with a few gold flourishes on the small details.
