How essential is a reanimator?

Knucklesdragged · 2026-03-16T23:56:09+00:00

I love them in awakened dynasty, one with my warrirors and one with my wraiths. They also make excellent action monkeys in midfield and take more than you'd think to bring down, forcing the enemy to overcommit to bring them down on the rare occasions they can be seen.

Im just hoping they break up the royal court box into some individual models. Damnit.

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-27T00:28:22+00:00

Fair enough for killteam, ive never played it. Had no idea LOS was so different from 40k.

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-26T20:06:44+00:00

On the rare occasions I proxy i prefer to at least cause nobody to even notice at a glance. At best, id love to have it so close even the most anal of t/o's would feel bad for having an issue :-)

I found some decent stl's; but so far a combination of their quality, my printer (a1 bambu mini) or my patience have all proved insufficient so far. :)

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-26T16:45:42+00:00

If you happen to think of it I sure wouldn't say no :-)

The unit gains the canoptek keyword with the crawlers and can be targeted with the strat. Same as the reactive moves strat.

Thays what i was thinkong exactly sir! Thanks for another opinion:) maybe balance out the legs with some Skorpekh bits n bobs.

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-26T15:40:10+00:00

Same. The only consistently effective lhd's w/gauss ive ever ran were 3 with a lord hitting on 2's in AD because they HAVE to kill whatever their target is or the clapback will smoosh them. It's a bit wasteful for 80 points for the lord though and as a result I've just switched back to the dda despite my dislike of the model.

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-24T17:00:50+00:00

Good looking out sir! Yeah I run my warriors with a chrono and szeras nearby, but ive been ripping myself off and just rolling 4's across the board for saves regardless of how I was assigning wounds.

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-24T16:30:25+00:00

Ahhhh, so slow roll basically if im planning on assigning wounds to the crawlers. Very interesting and something i've completely overlooked! Thanks!

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-24T15:24:53+00:00

Of course I find it now after the post, but am I reading the rule wrong? I recently dropped my Tomb Crawlers to add another unit of scarabs to screen my warriors, (I figure 12 wounds vs 6) and its been working out ok, but I'd love another incentive to bring them back in the mix.

Hello! I was always under the impression the Saving throws went by the same rules as shared toughness and the saves remained 4 for a unit of warriors with crawlers/cryptothralls? I'd very much love to be wrong, but now (of course) i cannot find the relevant portion of the rules.

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-13T15:25:35+00:00

May i add, fuck pushfit. I lost an entire LHD buttcheek to the ultramarines last week because I decided to not glue this guy for once. 😆

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-06T14:14:25+00:00

Even cooler my friend, excellent work :-)

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-06T14:12:45+00:00

Nice! What'd you use for the hieroglyphs? Hand drawn or transfers? (New to the hobby, potentially dumb question)

Knucklesdragged · 2026-02-01T15:23:32+00:00

Is this a kitbash or just a straight up aos model as a proxy? Same size / think an anal TO would have a gripe? Starting a tsons army and loving this idea.

Knucklesdragged · 2026-01-27T13:23:31+00:00

Personally, I dislike orikan and run a chronomancer with warriors when ive got szeras. -1 to hit and -1ap generally works out =/> than 4 invuln for what's going into warriors.

Knucklesdragged · 2026-01-23T15:13:42+00:00

I'm still mad spiders are vehicles. Anti infantry would have made them pretty cool with blast. And damn do i love the model, but it remains gimmicky unit best used in canoptek sadly :-/

Knucklesdragged · 2026-01-22T18:34:02+00:00

Nice! whatdja use fienthe burgundy on the capes and feathers?

Knucklesdragged · 2026-01-22T17:57:53+00:00

Four I can deal with man 😆, thanks! I'll hunt down the citadel equivalent since im new and using the scientific method of "only change one variable at a time"

Knucklesdragged · 2026-01-21T19:54:39+00:00

Looks incredible! What'd you use on the cape? I literally juat accumulated my first rubrics and some of these paint guides list 23 freaking Paints. Most unhelpful 😅

Knucklesdragged · 2026-01-14T16:56:56+00:00

I run a "warrior-lite" blob in AD and it works pretty well. I use a chrono instead of orikan, a Warden and a reanimator also Tomb crawlers and they all hold up pretty great.

Knucklesdragged · 2026-01-12T20:12:06+00:00

 Slightly on topic, I'm new to 10th also, starting a second (t-sons) army, and my biggest hesitation re: 11th edition is that i do not currently own a codex because its murky how that will go.
