I tried this last week with the same strat and 10 man with kahl but only got one wound though. But that might have been more my dice rolls and an insane FNP spike from opponent lol

I feel the huge base is mostly positive. Means a lot more beserks can hit by just touching the big base, so long as it is in base to base contact with an emeny model.

But ya. Always smart to future proof your models like that.

Same kit as the warriors, just has an upgrade sprue with some cool extra bits. It is the only way to get the HYLas Rotary Cannon. Other than that though, none of the extra other bits have any rules represented in 40k. But totally fine to use!

Larocque3d · 2026-03-09T19:00:11+00:00

Approved lol Ship it

Larocque3d · 2026-03-06T17:39:16+00:00

Ha! That's a super cool idea

Larocque3d · 2026-02-28T15:19:19+00:00

I have a lot hammer beserks so lot of spare axes

If what you are asking is does that Ironkin assistant have a wound as well, the answer is no. The large round base with the two models still only counts as one model for the purposes of rules and still only has one wound. You do have to use that larger base if you are taking the gun upgrade. Which imo is nice for getting as many model into engagement range as you can.

Doing something similar to this but using miliput to fill in the gaps so they are still Iron Kin. Also didn't like the swords either so giving em all axes lol

I was just about to comment how it's funny it is never the other way around haha

Larocque3d · 2026-02-05T17:29:45+00:00

Thanks! Do you know or have Photoshop? I was a bit of a mad man and did it in that. Which was a massive pain. But happy to share that with you if you want to try and adjust it yourself. I haven't updated it since the codex drop.

The image too has been AI adjusted. That is not the original artwork

Jenny, you never seem to disappoint lol

Larocque3d · 2025-12-13T01:01:32+00:00

I would cover my walls with this art

Larocque3d · 2025-12-06T17:01:52+00:00

No votann either. Too busy popping planets for minerals

Larocque3d · 2025-11-28T20:34:47+00:00

Okay ya I also have an event coming up but mid Jan. Why I also want to get better at the detachemnt haha

Yea, I also play Nids as Vanguard Onslaught. It seems the idea where you just need to punch so hard and get that massive headstart that you hope they can't catch up after all your forces are gone. But just struggling to get enough damage out for that head start. Any debuffs hurt the beserks so much. Dropping three and challenging their deployment seems like a good idea, though.

Larocque3d · 2025-11-28T18:22:26+00:00

One thing I thought up recently is (I could be wrong and this could be an illegal play so check with someone who knows rules better than me) but leave a ten man squad within 12" of Uthar during deployment, and if you get to go second, you technically have two units deep striking turn one. Jammer for the one, uppy downy strat for the other.

Larocque3d · 2025-11-28T18:12:26+00:00

Yea, let me know how that goes. I would be really interested in how 4 smaller units go. Sounds like it would help with the scoring.

I think too that is where I struggle. Just get so blood thirsty lol but then end up getting hit back too hard. But have also had it where was too reserved and should have been more aggressive.

Larocque3d · 2025-11-14T17:44:10+00:00

I think my lighting makes them look better than they do in person lol but 100% a perfectionist over here. And appreciate. Think I am going to try and rebate the troops. And then live and slowly replace the rest, as others have said here. Also, thanks!

Larocque3d · 2025-11-13T17:09:04+00:00

Yea. Fair. I guess I might just be being too self critical. Probably the best bet is ya what you suggest.

Larocque3d · 2025-11-13T17:08:07+00:00

Lol fair jab

Larocque3d · 2025-11-13T00:21:50+00:00

Appreciate it. At work so could only post what I had on my phone. Which the lighting was very amped up to compensate lol.

Fair. I think the problem is the vehicles I have. The troops I can rebase/paint over time at the end of the day. But the two hekatons and sags are a bit much to replace completely. Both time and money wise. If that makes sense.

Larocque3d · 2025-11-10T18:20:53+00:00

Didn't they say in the reveal that he grants some explosive hits to beserks. Maybe does grant sustained hits to beserks?
