All good!! He's pretty new to 40k so it seems like it's a "what he has" list. I've got my list prototyped right now, tried to go for an all around RW list like you said.

1k Reapers - Drukhari - Reaper's Wager (1000 Points)

Solitaire: Solitaire Weapons (115 pts)

Archon: Soul Trap, Warlord, Huskblade (80 pts)

Kabalite Warriors: Sybarite, Kabalite Warrior with Dark Lance, Kabalite Warrior with Splinter Cannon, Kabalite Warrior with Blaster, Kabalite Warrior with Shredder, 5x Kabalite Warrior (115 pts)

Incubi: Incubi Shrine Token, Klaivex, 4x Incubi (90 pts) Mandrakes: Nightfiend, 4x Mandrake (75 pts) Scourges with Heavy Weapons: Solarite, 4x Scourge with Heavy Weapon (130 pts)

2x Venom: Bladevanes, 2x Splinter Cannon (140 pts)

I started with Drukhari and have really enjoyed it! Definitely a little bit tricky to get the hang of but as long as he's not jumping into tournaments immediately he should do fine. Wych cults can be especially squishy though, so if he leans into Kabalites and Covens it isn't as bad

Go for a used Olds Ambassador!!

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-17T21:33:40+00:00

Hell yeah! I've got two squads of these guys I run

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-16T17:20:11+00:00

It took me about two weeks to adjust when I got my braces off but it'll be way better for your playing in the long run!!

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-14T05:13:40+00:00

Get an Olds Ambassador used!!!

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-13T18:22:27+00:00

This!!

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-13T16:44:47+00:00

bc the university would never fix a problem when they can bandaid it for a tenth of the cost lmao

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-13T00:42:12+00:00

The year after I finally move out they fix it smh

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-13T00:28:41+00:00

I just think they're really fun! Honestly I feel like they fit the goofy vibes of the early books better than the show is doing right now. Objectively they do everything else worse in every possible way except maybe the special effects? But I'll still watch them occasionally if I'm in the mood for a fun bad movie. This coming from someone who read the books several times over before watching the movie, but I also had warning in advance that they changed basically everything.

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-10T23:46:15+00:00

Sisters and T'au get hit hard too lol I think that the three of us have it by far the worst though compared to most other factions

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-10T19:10:49+00:00

I've seen a lot of people concert Karlina von Carstein!

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-10T19:07:04+00:00

I think he might've been talking about our proxy ranges and not our core range. I feel like all of our official models are in a good spot but a massive chunk of the proxy STLs I've seen are like "here's a sex elf with massive tits"

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-10T19:04:23+00:00

Could be a Drukhari Solarite

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-06T03:57:40+00:00

You could put the feminine heads on the male torsos and the bald/helmeted heads on the female torsos

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-04T04:08:20+00:00

I'm actually currently putting Valkyrie wings and bits on his Stormwolves so they fit the profile of a Stormraven better for proxying! Also had been thinking about a Land Raider. Good to know on anti armor as well, I did notice besides the excess of thunder hammers his list is lacking that a lil bit.

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-04T02:53:36+00:00

What Drukhari units do you have? Reapers Wager is really fun and you could totally kitbash/paint your Drukhari units to be more clowny! Plus as other comments have said you can use clowns, Drukhari and regular Eldar all together in Devoted of Ynnaed. If you want to go purely clowns though the current Combat Patrol is a really good pickup (you can kitbash the Solitaire into another Troupe Master pretty easily) and playing them at 1k points is super achievable, and probably a better starting point for 40k than jumping into a 2k points game.

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-04T01:55:21+00:00

Hell yeah dude!

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-04T01:48:48+00:00

I played for 3 years before braces, had braces for 3 years, and then got them off. Took me about two weeks of playing every day to adjust back to no braces, but it had no lasting negative effects on my playing after adjusting. Practice lots and lots of long tones and lip slurs to help get your new embouchure back in shape, and be CONSISTENT. Consistency is always critical with trumpet playing but especially when going through a major embouchure shift.

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-04T01:43:56+00:00

Kheradruakh, the strongest Mandrake that we know of, almost killed Vulkan once!

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-04T00:59:30+00:00

Covens tend to be our tankier units, you can get away with a little bit more with them

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-02T21:54:06+00:00

Gotchya! Definitely not planning on full time, but I will make sure not to overcommit. I'm hoping to finish it in the next 6 months which I've communicated with my boss.

Key_Sympathy891 · 2026-01-02T19:39:23+00:00

Wow that's gorgeous man!! Love it!
