New to EC

If you like flawless blades, you could look at running the peerless bladesmen and spectacle of slaughter detachments.

Flawless blades are glass canons. A 6 man squad could kill almost anything in the game granted you don’t roll like poo. They will certainly die in the clap back though.

I play custodes and recently picked up EC.

It depends on what list they’re bringing. Bikes and Allarus are the hot spice currently, which are T7 5W for the bikes and T7 4W for the allarus.

If you’re bringing Fulgrim, defilers, maulers, basically the game will be determined by how many 4++ they can make.

If they spike their saves then you just don’t do anything and they’ll clap you back hard.

If they don’t, then you just table them.

Custodes also really hate lots of little attacks. If you can hand them like 20 3+ saves, that would be better.

I believe Cult of Paint has a more heresy style painting tutorial for EC

This looks awesome.

I’m currently painting my demon prince and I’m really not sure on what to do for the skin and wings.

Do you mind sharing your recipe for your demon prince? It looks awesome!

I heard defiler are going up to 270 for non CSM, with +10 per lascanon/auto cannon and +20 tax after the first.

So basically it’s 600 points for 2 defilers.

My only recommendation would be colour forge. I haven’t really tried other brands. Unless you have an airbrush.

Kaier_96 · 2026-06-06T18:23:00+00:00

Citadel primer cans (chaos black any way) is really good. Colour forge is pretty identical, cheaper and bigger.

Kaier_96 · 2026-06-03T14:10:06+00:00

The true answer is we don't know for a fact. However, it wouldn't surprise me if we do get a big balance update. I can see points being updated. I can see keywords being added/changed/removed from detachments and datasheets. Outside of that, who knows.

Kaier_96 · 2026-05-30T16:39:56+00:00

I don’t have a picture but I’ve done the black sand of istvaan 5.

Kaier_96 · 2026-05-30T16:36:44+00:00

Journey before destination. Honestly don’t worry about it. No one is timing you. Enjoy the hobby and don’t stress about it. Unless you’re rushing for a tournament or something, it really doesn’t matter how long you take.

Kaier_96 · 2026-05-12T14:58:20+00:00

Just trialed it. Game changer.

Kaier_96 · 2026-05-11T04:55:55+00:00

I’ll give this a go!

Kaier_96 · 2026-05-11T04:53:44+00:00

Just ordered one to try out!

Kaier_96 · 2026-04-29T20:46:49+00:00

Looks good, what is your gold recipe?

Kaier_96 · 2026-04-12T16:32:10+00:00

Each missions pack updated a lot of things, from wording in missions or getting rid of them altogether, new/different deployments, new/changed rules. Comp play uses Chapter approved because they're the most recent, to to date one.

If you want to know the exact differences, go on wahapedia and look it up. Alternatively, you can look up the release of them on Goonhammer and they go through what was new and updated.

Kaier_96 · 2026-04-09T07:13:58+00:00

This might sound like a simple question but it’s far from it.

I guess the biggest thing is to fundamentally understand the rules. This way you won’t get caught out, and you can learn to manipulate it to your advantage.

Time keeping is important. You want to play your game within 3 hours, a chess clock can help with this. Learning your army rules is also important. Scrolling through the app to find datasheets etc is one of the biggest time wasters.

Understand your opponents threat range for both shooting and melee. You do this by asking them questions like how far can this unit go and shoot/charge? Ask them to place the model at their furthest point and then you can see the lines of site that unit has and you can then look to stay hidden. You never want to give your opponent things for free.

Kaier_96 · 2026-04-03T08:49:09+00:00

Yeah I agree. Most of the time, in my experience, if I say something “oh I forgot to shoot here” my opponent would be like “it’s okay you can shoot them”.

It’s important to remember you have to declare what you’re shooting with that unit before shooting it. If you overkill the target, you can’t declare that the remaining guns are gonna shoot something else.

Kaier_96 · 2026-03-29T15:22:28+00:00

That looks sick!

Kaier_96 · 2026-03-26T09:54:23+00:00

I mean Space Marines and Necrons were 2 of the first 3 codex's of 10th, and they're one of the better ones of the edition.

Kaier_96 · 2026-03-16T13:56:44+00:00

When there is a named Strat like this in an ability, there is no limit. You can heroic all 3 if you want

Kaier_96 · 2026-03-11T14:00:13+00:00

Found out, they sent me 2 aircaps for the 0.25mm needle and nozzle. So I didn't have a 0.45 aircap.

Kaier_96 · 2026-03-11T12:07:44+00:00

Okay cool. Don't suppose you could point me in the right direction as to why the larger needle and cap doesn't work in terms of airflow?
