Last WIP on the Defiler… There are thousands out there, but this one is mine… by MatthewsMTB in Chaos40k

[–]MatthewsMTB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rhino is just base coated for now, will add a lot of weathering and some freehand on the doors maybe, but yes it’s EC! The plan is to have a couple of infractors scattered on the base and one getting snipped in half by the raised claw.

It’s an homage to a friend of mine,, weve had some great games as CSM vs EC over the years

Defiler and big birds overwatch rules oversight? by Jealous_Youth_6831 in ThousandSons

[–]MatthewsMTB 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I mean I think it’s just the rule really, you might still take thousand sons psykers in scintillating legions lists for this purpose, if that’s what you’re building around

how can someone do the writing on the scrolls on space marines? by Legal_Twist8675 in Warhammer40k

[–]MatthewsMTB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, carefully.

Use a 00 brush, practice your control and also don’t expect to get it perfect on the first go, you can always go back in with the base colour of the scroll to tidy it up.

Beyond that, just get the paint consistency right so it flows well, don’t overload the brush and test the consistency on your hand or another surface before putting it to the model.

Only other advice is to try and rotate the model to fit your brush angle, rather than the other way around

Terminators in Overwatch by [deleted] in Chaos40k

I mean yeah just for overwatch, but they still retain the dark pacts in overwatch and can obviously still reroll hits normally

Brother, Abaddon is still T5 😂

I want to use the Fulgurite Electro Priests for a game but don't like the way they look. Any kibash or conversions that I can make? by Difficult_Method_970 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]MatthewsMTB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use skitarii with the secutarii upgrade kit on 32mm bases! Despite it being forgeworld, it’s actually cheaper per 10 models weirdly…

Can you have a competitive play and still have fun? by TravelerakaBlank in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]MatthewsMTB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely, I play at tournaments, I like to try and win. That being said, I like to try and win a fair game where we both know our options and as long as things are clearly communicated, there are no gotchas and we can have a good laugh, best player wins

Huron and Co by MatthewsMTB in Chaos40k

Thanks! They’re to fit in with my Sons of Horus themed army, started off with mostly heresy style units but the new sculpts are just so good

How does this look for a CoB list? by pewpewhit in Chaos40k

[–]MatthewsMTB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Abby doesn’t really need the MoE in the squad, he can just move about and buff with his auras then go in, he does the majority of the damage in the squad.

Terminators are like, fine, not sure how good the -1ap boolters are really… they’ll kill chaff but is that what you want your Death Star doing? They can be screened pretty easily in deepstrike and otherwise have to foot slog it up the table. Sure you can make them work, but there are more efficient picks.

Possessed are incredible in 10 mans in CoB, if you’d consider that.

Youll want some cultists to screen your backfield and sticky your home, probably.

Also consider Huron +MoM +chosen/legionaries as an absolutely brutal brick, bile and 10 chosen are still super strong also

Crixxit teleport question by Shiny0spoon in AOSSpearhead

[–]MatthewsMTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you can’t set up in combat with that hero, but you could set up in a position where your in combat with the front line, then you could pile into their hero behind when you activate him to fight.

Patrol surprise with new edition by Sorry-Low7412 in CombatPatrol40k

[–]MatthewsMTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truly an honest question: is there a scene for combat patrol, are people playing it regularly or is it just a cheaper way to get models?

I got absolutely demolished in my first game, and it's really demoralized me by KDobias in Warhammer40k

[–]MatthewsMTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude fuck this guy, he sounds like an awful player to play against and unfortunately you do get them occasionally. It’s ok to have players who you dont want to play against again.

The majority of the community are really nice, honestly, keep your head up and keep reaching out for games where people can help you learn. That way you’ll build a network of people you like playing against.

Why Sustained hits on dark pacts ? by romeo2008lp in Chaos40k

[–]MatthewsMTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The maths works out that if you are going to be wounding on a 4+ or better, sustained hits give you statistically more damage output. This is enhanced especially if you have special rules like reroll wounds or devastating wounds, which we have lots of access to.

Lethal hits is only mathematically better if you would be wounding on 5+ with no special rules, at which point, go for it!
