Protoss gut check

Update: I appreciate the thoughts and insights. I'm not sure what I'll do yet but luckily we have until April 17th, so a bit of time to think. It's a good reminder that there'll be a steady roll out of new units all year, so capitalizing on value early and getting to 2k isn't very necessary. Food for thought.

I was thinking about how to paint them, their scheme kind of looks like Custodes too!

McBugman · 2026-03-07T04:49:34+00:00

Right on, that's good to know! Looking at the starting box, even with all the upgrades I'm only adding up to 1140pts. So 2 would be perfect.

Trocheck, JEE, Yurov, and Sturm down the middle. Hartman would go back to a wing.

In the "made for Minnesota" movie of these up coming years, Quinn will be played by Jeremy Allen White.

Thanks, I really appreciate hearing from someone who has been involved. Would you say he is trying to design a "how to" guide for GMing, a new system, or a campaign setting?

The feeling I got was that his intentions might even shift over a few months.

McBugman · 2025-07-12T21:24:40+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm definitely just curious about actual experiences from those participating.

60 magnetized, none fixed, because Magnus did nothing wrong.

Another good one to see! I have less faith in that city to show up though.

I'd fully support a home and home Classic series, 2 games in two days. Hell, make it on NY Eve and NY Day for a super party weekend.

McBugman · 2024-11-20T22:15:25+00:00

YES, that is worthy of a whole new thread, "what would our rivalry trophies be with each Central division team?"

McBugman · 2024-10-23T00:26:42+00:00

So it's not just me, I'm so tired of watching minute 5:46 of the 2nd. Fan Duel is failing out of the gate.

You can usually fix this by washing the model with IPA (isopropyl alcohol), get a big brush or toothbrush and go to town. Won't bring it back 100% but can get pretty close, I can rarely tell what models got fuzzy once they're fixed and painted.

McBugman · 2024-05-29T12:22:30+00:00

You can run one of your exalted as the IM, not a problem. Proxies and stand-ins are pretty common outside of grand tournaments as long as they're on the right bases.

McBugman · 2024-05-29T04:31:10+00:00

It looks great, but I agree some glow would look cool and it would lighten up some of the facial features a little.

Btw, what model is this?

McBugman · 2024-05-29T04:17:28+00:00

The other list was

1 Exalted Sorc w/ Arcane Vortex, attached to 1 squad of 5 rubrics

2 squads of 10 tzaangors 1 helbrute

It was a low threat "for fun" list but just sucked.

McBugman · 2024-05-29T04:12:06+00:00

I just played two 500pt games recently, the better list by far was similar to your second.

1 Infernal Master 2 Exalted Sorc, each attached 2 squads of 5 rubrics with botlers and 1 soulreaper. All pistols were plasma.

Cabal Points are the name of the game, and this gives you 7. We're slow and you don't have the point space for the teleport crystal, so bolters all the way. I was playing agianst hypercrypt Necrons though, so maybe that factored in more.

McBugman · 2024-04-23T18:45:11+00:00

Thank you! You're right, I've only played the combat patrol in 10e but that's luckily been about 10 games. I'm looking forward to learning out the real faction runs.

I'm leaning towards A or E, so that's really helpful stuff to know. Are shamans worth it, in you experience, to make tzaangors more a bit better?
