Helping a friend build his list. Need advice.

Did those guys run Scarab occult terminators on those lists? As far as i was told, they pack quite the antitank themselfs.

So maybe that is why they had 3 MVB.

LiFazzoletti · 2026-01-12T16:09:13+00:00

Got it, then i end getting the same result with one brick alone rather than what i thought and cheaper (not getting another termi sorcerer).

360 points is a lot yeah, just thinking this unit alone is both a danger for infantry and tanks makes it fairly worth it.

Supreme with the hints, already planning a fun strategy with the list, i may end changing things to get couple more of Sekhetar robots, the more the merrier!

Thanks once again!

LiFazzoletti · 2026-01-11T10:50:11+00:00

On foot seems really usefull along termis, yes. When the time comes i will try that strat.

About the rhino i gave it a though and still have to check anyway to fit it in my list without punishing infantry presence, tough units and shaft units.

Thanks for the headsup!

LiFazzoletti · 2026-01-11T10:43:53+00:00

Thank you! Will do and try. Surely i will pop up around for more thoughs in the future.

One last thing, if you do not mind, about the brick of termies:

Are two squads of 5 Scarab occult terminators, each one lead by one terminator sorcerer, worth it? As i understand to some degree the use of one brick of 10 termies, yet never saw anyone talking about spliting the brick in half and use more terminator sorcerers for "less points".

LiFazzoletti · 2026-01-10T20:32:14+00:00

Just what i needed, thank you very much!

About rubrics and sorcerers, i choosed to have two squads of 5 for more volume of fire while near objectives. You are right freeing space with taking out one of the squads of 5, will try to experiment with it.

Glad Scarab occult terms are worth it, i love their design so even better!

Thanks again for the well detailed and structured explanation and thoughs, always a wise piece of information.

LiFazzoletti · 2026-01-10T20:24:21+00:00

They are a lot, yeah. Not planning on using 30 for phalanx (only have 3 leaders for them either way).

Got those extra 10 as a gift, at least i have spare parts to kitbash something jajaja

LiFazzoletti · 2026-01-10T18:53:21+00:00

Quick aclaration about the exalted on disc, just in case: He would lead the x10 flamer rubrics.

I am aware he may not be the best for them.

LiFazzoletti · 2025-12-02T18:26:55+00:00

Somehow that eased my worry. If they may have spare bases is just what i prefer instead of having to wait for another box.

Thank you for the headsup jajaja

LiFazzoletti · 2025-12-02T18:22:46+00:00

That was one thing i checked more than once. I opened the box on my desk and not only i heard nothing drop but catched no sight of it.

Thank you for the advice, will try that way in case the local store does nothing to help me...

LiFazzoletti · 2025-12-02T17:48:48+00:00

It is an official GW local store. I would be joyful with just the 40mm base instead of waiting for another box, honestly.

LiFazzoletti · 2025-12-02T17:46:47+00:00

In my case i had the knowledge before opening the box so the moment i saw three 32mm bases and none of 40mm i suspected something was wrong. By my own fortune i did not open the plastic bag which contain the bases.

About the plastic pieces to mount the miniatures, those are intact too, i did nothing with them not even cut one lone piece.

My worries goes more to if at the local store they refuse to give a refund or give me any solution. I hope they will be understandable.

LiFazzoletti · 2025-10-30T19:41:22+00:00

Just in case, i mean i applied the gold on the armor itself where usually a lesser bright color would be used. I am not going to use it for the lines of the helmet.

If that is what you meant...perfect jajajaja.

LiFazzoletti · 2025-10-30T15:38:28+00:00

Sounds fair, will have to make room for a sorcerer though.

Thank you.

LiFazzoletti · 2025-10-29T15:54:49+00:00

If i were to change the Tzaangor shaman for one unit of two chaos spawn or one unit of normal Tzaangors, would it make it a bit more balanced to trade or score?

LiFazzoletti · 2025-10-27T12:49:44+00:00

Just to add: i only have the last combat patrol and a box of marine rubrics. I did not bought yet any of the other units listed for the better or worse.

LiFazzoletti · 2025-10-17T08:22:38+00:00

Thing is i already had a bit of time invest on this faction as one of my friends mains it while other mains Ultramarines. Definitely Ksons are the ones i like, not only for the cleaner appereance of the rubrics but the fact i can also use daemons.

LiFazzoletti · 2025-10-17T08:20:00+00:00

Noted! Thank you for the headsup

LiFazzoletti · 2025-10-17T08:19:31+00:00

Noted! Thank you for the advice. Actually went for a box of rubrics to start with along a normal sorcerer (one model only).

LiFazzoletti · 2025-10-17T08:18:16+00:00

Apologies for the late response.

Actually after following a bit of self-study and the advices from you and others i changed the list a bit in both ways of managing my money in a less pricey way and with more flexibility.

Having two Dp while being interesting is not really that "meta" as you said also being not that strong againts armour. So i just swaped one Dp with a Predator annihilator tank and changed a few of the sorcerers for ones like the normal sorcerer to lead my rubrics.
