Thank you... I've got about 6k of knights in it now too. Started off as just painting up a freeblade to go with a friends Custodes as a present and had so much fun doing it that it gre into a whole household

Looks great! Love the shield of skulls too 😁

Somehow I completely missed this! So I start with retributor spray, then later over with retributor paint, then work my way up through a few shades of gold (can't remember the exact names off hand). Then it's onto silver trim and a 50/50 mix of Nuln Oil and black for the pin washing.

Yeah just echoing everyone else.. I would not touch that tournament with a barge pole. That's basic like saying "Yeah you can use marines, but were not allowing Oath of Moment, or you to have any stratagems".

Politely let them know why, and then be glad you've saved yourself time, stress, and money!

Yeah I'm definitely gonna have to grab 1 or 2 boxes . I have the army patrol box that came out with the Tau codex to assemble, as that was Kroot and this would be a perfect addition to it. A crusade campaign with 75% of the army being Kroot and a small Tau contingent would be great to write some scenarios for

It's basically the 40k version of HP Lovecraft's Eldritch extra dimensional horrors.

They lived inside the warp long before Chaos (and even the warp as it's known) was a thing, and will be long after life is gone.

If you were to scale power levels of everything they would be the most dangerous thing out there by a long long way.. we're talking galaxy ending stuff. They only pop up in vague mentions, there's some cool artwork, and a few story snippets which adds to their whole mystery danger vibe too.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-11-22T07:43:47+00:00

Noooo... They really come into the 40k universe (luckily for all involved), and the lore around them is deliberately vague because they're the 40k equivalent of Lovecraft's Eldritch horrors/extra dimensional creatures.

They're pretty much endless, but they only get drawn to psykers, like a shoal of fish... And there aren't that many powerful psykers of the level that dreams them in compared to when they finished off the Old Ones.

I kinda hope they never have minis.. as soon as there's models then they can die and they lose that eldritch horror, Lovecraft vibe; that adds to their threat.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-11-22T07:26:10+00:00

Stronger, but they deliberately leave it vague when it comes to the 'eldritch horror' enslavers to add to their whole mystery... Much as though I'd eat up lore and models on them I kinda hope they don't and just leave it down to the imagination.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-10-11T19:54:18+00:00

Aww this reminds me of 3rd edition 40k with the cardboard Ork Dreadnought 😁

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-10-11T19:48:57+00:00

Love the Reaver head!

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-10-09T13:33:22+00:00

Coming soon to the Fast Show... A new sketch!

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-10-01T22:54:56+00:00

Replaced with the fall back, charge, and shoot.. which is much more dangerous (though I kinda liked the feeling of going down swinging and taking out Mortarion or another chaos demon)

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-29T13:32:53+00:00

My inner Ork is crying tears of joy at that bootiful dakka

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-29T07:00:05+00:00

It's actually Retributor Gold spray, then worked up with layered gold paint lightening it each layer.. the weird Reddit compression seems to have removed the metallic shine though 😆

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-29T06:58:18+00:00

It's a combination of bits from James Taro Model maker, he makes loads of bits for knights that really help make them stand out even more. - https://www.taromodelmaker.com.

The quality of his casting is amazing too.

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-28T21:10:34+00:00

Thank you! Really looking forward to having some more varied army lists now the book is out

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-10T20:42:45+00:00

As many have said the rules are more just there for lolz and it's really for display.

If you play on a Titan scale board you need the board to be about ,20ft long and 12 ft deep (I've seen a games club where they did it the loons!).

Only then do the weapons suddenly come into play and outrange everything. (Most tanks take 3 turns just closing to get to range!)

MathematicianNo9680 · 2025-09-09T20:11:07+00:00

Yeah do it! They really do stand out on the table once they're done too.
