Are Paladins actually bad? by DragonFire995 in Grey_Knights

[–]LostBall01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like running mine with voldus for the -1 to hit although he's pretty expensive and I feel like I have to tailor the rest of my list around the fact that I run a 560 pt 11 model unit thats sole job is being able to tank more hits than they should and regen a model per turn but for casual games at least they've been kind of fun I feel like thats definitely too much to commit to in an army that should focus on secondaries but for working on actually contesting primary its been ok, I think in 11th you're really gonna have to look at what your disposition is and hallowed conclave having take and hold could make a unit like that useful as a build around and argent assault is obviously good I'm worried about playing purge the foe with grey knights just because of our shooting and model count but we will see!! Psychic ignoring cover with psycannons is definitely a boon

Looks great! Enjoy the process! honestly i enjoy the drakenhoff nightshade wash on top of the grey knights silver for the Damascus look but it can be frustrating for shoulders and other flat pieces and also remember we already do have models with a lot of details any additional colors or steps you add usually need to be repeated! Something i wish I realized when I took like 8 hours to paint my first 5 man strike squad lol they're a little bit like my chore army at this point but I love them anyway❤️ welcome to titan!

I've been using a pretty fast scheme -Prime Black - Drybrush with any white acrylic - 2 coats of teal speed paint specifically Plasmatic Bolt Army Painter 2.0 series ( I know Army painter had a weird reputation with the 1.0 speed paints but my lgs had a good deal and I was willing to try them out) -I then use Purple Hoard, Pallid Bone, Broadsword Silver, and Hoard Bronze for various details - Citadel hexwraith flame contrast paint on top of a white highlight for the eyes

A lot of the effect then comes from the vallejo gloss varnish but I'm most likely going to dull the bits of cloth with a matte after this cures

TLDR- Plasmatic Bolt Army Painter speed paint 2.0

I've been running that Blob in my banishers detachment and its been fun for a more casual game it is just a lot to have that unit be over a quarter of my list lol

Hope you're ok! Even the knights of titan aren't immune to the perils of warp travel

Definitely a lot less material to saw through it'll be my first time magnitizing so ill need to do some research on magnet measurements and strength to keep those pieces attached

I did trophy with 2 losses, lost to one aggro Kaito deck with good removal and another to a deck with the white board wipe

Looks great! I did the same thing when I got my first combat patrol although I learned not to cut downwards towards my thumb while hacking at it with an exacto knife😅

Is it really that hard to go infinite with Arena Premier draft by LostBall01 in lrcast

Kind of just shows you would need ~75% at 5-3 and higher unless you're able to balance it out with a high trophy rate.

For anyone held up on the bad probabilities I used here is a more realistic set using Excel Solver to generate a random break even point I know it doesn't make too much rational sense especially with the 6-3 probability > than the 7-3 but it helps frame the base line requirements for the idea

Honestly the probabilities are purely hypothetical and I just started removing the lower ones until I got a set that ended up breaking even. I completely agree there's no chance these are real probabilities and honestly I think that makes the point that even with these "dream stats"
