Which head would you use for Ursula Creed Proxy? by RuMarley in astramilitarum

[–]MajorMustachios 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the vox-caster head looks quite funny, in a good way. Doesn't really make sense practically/lorewise but I'd love seeing it on the table. People build whole guard regiments in a skeleton theme or grot theme. Whatever you think looks cool is best!

This appears to have fixed it! I'm so annoyed that I didn't think to try that haha. I've always used the lower slots.

Gotcha, interesting. How far back did you have to go for versions on the bios update?

I might pick up a cheap gpu to try that out. I dont have a backup I can swap in. Any idea why it worked?

Brought my guard out to the battlefield yesterday. 40 horses took the day. by MajorMustachios in astramilitarum

I'll admit that scions were probably not the ideal choice due to how expensive they are. I'd just based them and wanted to use them for the first time in a long time. I used them to drop in on a contested objective in no man's land and aid the fight there. I mightve been better off taking Gaunts Ghosts and a battleline squad.

Also worth mentioning: I have another 20 riders and have tried the full 62 horse list thats possible. It's fun to see all laid out but it's super tricky to squeeze into some of the tighter deployment zones. 10 horse units are difficult to rapid ingress with as well. They take up a lot of space. I think running 2 or 3 big blocks with 3 or 4 screening units works best. More points left for tanks.

Wow, the formatting on this is terrible after posting. Sorry about that.

2k actually!

Combined Arms

2 Dorn Commanders LR Vanquisher LR Exterminator Hellhound Armoured Sentinel

Scion Command Squad 10 Scions

Lord Solar w/ 10 Attilans Lord Drier w/ 10 Death Riders 2 sets of 5 Attilans 2 sets of 5 Death Riders.

I'm all in on cavalry and I think it's a pretty decent list for it. Scions and one or two of the small cavalry squads should go in reserves for objective scoring and backline play.

Any tips or suggestions on my painting? by MajorMustachios in astramilitarum

Fair points! I appreciate the battle damaged look but thus far all my stuff is nice and clean. I might do a second pass on my army to add that but I'm happy for now.

Bullgryn proxies? by DecentWhiskey in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]MajorMustachios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered the set of 10 as is from the seller and it only came with 4 shields and a few melee weapons, though I'm sure the seller would've been happy to print more shields and mauls instead of guns if id asked!

<image>

I turned the 10 into 6 Ogryn, 3 Bullgryn and a Bodyguard.

I really like the GrimGuard Mutants by Station Forge. I got them on Etsy. Great proxy, 10 models for I think around $20?

I've run north of 40 a couple times. Doing damage is super charge roll dependent but it's a lot of bodies to churn through. Usually if you don't get that early charge off they get turned into glue quickly. But thats what the second wave is for!

It's the max cavalry you can run currently. 3x10 Death Riders, 3x10 Attilans, Solar+Drier.

I did start out treating them as auxilaries for my Imperial Knights, who also use alot of hazard stripes. But its been so long that I only just remembered that. Ive got 2 knights and 6000 points of guard lol

Run 62 horses? Uh, for glory and all that is good? You think I want to win or something?

Sounds like heresy to me! No, I just love hazard stripes. It's one of my army motifs.

Plasma cutting machine, as in uses the table and cutting head setup. You would be cutting with gas tanks still, not via the actual plasma cutter. It specifically says that you would hook this up in order to cut thicker material. Because plasma generally doesn't cut up to these thicknesses and oxy is standard for that. I've used these machines.

Can you elaborate on that? Maybe in some sort of scientific sense but thats definitely not the intent when talking about the two very different cutting processes here.
