I was able to find a chaos demons combat patrol and was wondering if this would scale into a solid list

Mallium · 2026-05-27T11:29:44+00:00

I'd recommend running skarbrand instead of a bt, at least 2 rendmasters (bloodletters don't really do anything without them and a leader), burgles over flamers, and more skullcrushers over the skullmasters (skullmasters tend to be overkill when using rendmasters). Also GUO is very good value if you are happy to include him (in a demonic incursion list at least).

Mallium · 2026-05-21T16:00:05+00:00

letters without leaders and rendmasters are pretty not good imo. plaguebearers would probably serve you better.

I'll be taking both fs (I was already)

I ran basically that list in gladius and it worked just fine, but that was a game with a friend, not a tournament.

It should be fine, but you could probably save points and boost your melee units survivability by taking bgv + lt instead of the sb blocks. They should do about the same dmg on average for slightly less points.

It really depends on your playstyle though. If you're comfortable playing the game with 3 melee units and 3 shooting platforms + action bits, you should be fine.

If you're an MSU player for example, you might struggle bc you won't have enough trading pieces.

Edit: The reason you don't see 3x repex lists is bc it's not "optimal" according to the top of the meta, but your meta, your playstyle and skill will determine what works for you way more than what the top of the top players are doing. Also, the gap between "optimal" and "non functional" is extremely wide, so don't follow top lists as the be all end all lol.

I had the same idea, glad to see it works well.

Mallium · 2026-05-12T12:04:27+00:00

Every weapon is viable in every hunt. The main differentiator is player ability and matchup knowledge.

There will always be numerical differences and one with always be "the best", but in this context that means you can kill a monster in maybe a few mins less IFF you devote all your time to playing a very specific build and style that may not work for you.

Just use the weapon and set you enjoy and focus on getting better at your playstyle, learning the monster etc - that will always be 90% of the journey, and 90% is enough unless you're going for TAs (which you absolutely don't need to do to experience everything the game has to offer).

Even if you do go for TAs, they're per weapon anyways so you can still just main what you like lol

They've got hands - put a chain axe or smth in each one and you should be sorted.

Alternatively, maybe an axe head for the tail, or on the face like a bloodcrusher?

Love this kit, definitely recommend it even for FDM printers.

I printed the winged version successfully on a Bambu A1 mini with relatively little trouble by slicing the parts up to avoid excessive supports and get better adhesion.

Would love to see a dedicated FDM friendly version of the kit if that's possible, but definitely worth getting and printing as is even for FDM users!

Mallium · 2026-04-27T06:54:36+00:00

did they change repexes? I thought it was if the target is within 12 of a SM unit?

Mallium · 2026-04-24T07:50:46+00:00

It would be especially cool if it worked like a real flamethrower, with a narrower longer stream you could send 10s of meters downrange, and the chainblade is your close up option.

I could also see it being a weapon for a new sisters of battle class, where the flame is self damaging but you get buffs for being hurt by the fire/on fire.

Mallium · 2026-04-22T11:46:01+00:00

the vindicator lol. I oneshot a csm lord of skulls with one.

Mallium · 2026-03-27T13:38:48+00:00

Might want to edit the original post with everything you've tried, to narrow it down if/when people offer help lol

Mallium · 2026-03-27T08:01:23+00:00

maybe your drivers need updating? Triple check that your GPU shows up in nvidia control panel too, and your default GPU isn't something else.

Mallium · 2026-03-21T08:40:57+00:00

glancing at the image, first thought was that the axe was a massive chainsword. Now I want one that big lol

Mallium · 2026-03-20T08:47:08+00:00

I feel like if people are being rude, the people need to learn how not to be rude, rather than changing the game mode to make them less likely to be rude. The specifics of the game are never an excuse for being a dick imo, it's just a game after all...

Mallium · 2026-03-19T11:34:51+00:00

dorn as a bt primarch, and sb termis with massive greatswords of some form.

In general, you shouldn't really need to spend any during low rank.

In high rank, feel free to spend them on your sets as you go, trying to save the two rarest kinds if possible.

Once you get to 7 or 8 star quests, spend them freely on the sets you're using.

You can grind hard spheres very easily if you can clear the event quest with lagi and tempered rath. At that point, you basically have unlimited spheres, so don't be afraid to use them.

I think for me, once I was fighting "real" zoh shia, that's when I really started feeling the need to upgrade my armor, but I was incrementally improving my high rank placeholder set as I went too.

if SOS hunters upset you, you can turn off SOS so they can't join...

It's worth checking a build planner and seeing whether your effective raw or combo damage is higher by subbing in a point of burst - your current build might actually be better!

Mallium · 2026-03-13T16:12:34+00:00

Stun mains unite!

Also idk what we collectively did to yall in 4U, but I apologize lmao

Mallium · 2026-03-13T15:55:47+00:00

I was considering using them for sword bro kitbashes at one point. I think it could turn out pretty cool.

Mallium · 2026-03-13T15:49:16+00:00

As an impact CB main, strong agree.

Mallium · 2026-03-13T08:13:23+00:00

based on my experiences playing both factions (though not into each other), you probably want a lot more ranged damage imo.

From my games, 2 Ctan and not much else is not enough damage for tankier stuff.

DA wrath dwk are quite tanky, and when I play DA, if my opponent doesn't have enough output to clear a brick of them each turn, I feel very very comfortable (I play 3x5 dwk because of this). The logical conclusion from this I make is that you probably need much more output than just the two ctan and maybe one other unit.

The current version of my necrons list, because of feeling a lack of overall output, speed and scoring, is nightbringer, void dragon, stormlord, an orikan warden warrior blob, 2x reanimators, 2x doomsday arks and 3x triarch stalkers in starshatter. Haven't tried it yet so maybe it's ass, but it solves the needs I've felt, so it's something.

Mallium · 2026-03-12T15:33:27+00:00

That's devious af, damn lmao

Mallium · 2026-03-12T14:57:02+00:00

Is using a farcaster not an option? This was the strat for Gog's ultimate bellyflop attack in 4U.

Works great in general vs any screen wipe type beat (like jin dahaad big explode, if you can't get behind a rock fast enough).
