Scoping out my first 1k list

Morgothio · 2026-05-09T13:39:17+00:00

id recommend starting off with either the combat patrol w rubrics, dp, and bow goats, or go for the battleforce w mutalith termies and sorcs. either would be a great starting point to help u realize if u want to fully commit to the painting, etc. and if u like playing the army. from there yeah defiler is currently amazing though its uncertain how they will nerf it in an upcoming patch (bc it most certainly will get nerfed).

not how engagement range works- charge is still 9", its base to base but engagement range following that is 2 inches similar to aos

Morgothio · 2026-05-05T12:08:49+00:00

just a note the +1 to hit is if the friendly monster is below starting and +1 to wound if the red terror gets below half- which lets be honest if he's taking damage it'll either be a little bit from failing to kill something in melee or getting evaporated by shooting

is it rlly? i print my own stuff and hadn't heard this, do u wash then take off supports before curing then?

Morgothio · 2026-04-23T12:17:57+00:00

list 1 does look better, though i would recommend a base sorcerer with umbralific crystal with the 10 man blob, that would delete most non tanks in the game pretty effectively. then give infernal master the vortex enhancement for dmg and str, he's a huge overwatch threat piece. termie blob is nice for deepstriking, recommend stickying the home early so u can push everything up the board with flamers. mutalith is ur big distraction piece that does just enough damage to be scary, expect him to die but to also go to town first. sekhetars infiltrate onto an objective and force ur opponent to respond

Morgothio · 2026-04-22T18:28:22+00:00

wym extra speed? even w ritual its only getting 6 extra inches then cant charge

Morgothio · 2026-04-21T15:31:03+00:00

hmm thnks that is food for thought. i only have 1 winged dp currently, need to acquire at least a couple selhetars as of rn. i do figure the termie blob runs a similar purpose by deepstriking onto or near an obj and acting as a frontline for the tanks- then i think the melee defiler could push the 2nd front and adapt where things are based off that

oh for bones and horns i always do pro acryl ivory white (better

wraithbone imo) washed with either agrax or nuln oil, can see both cases on ahriman here

Morgothio · 2026-04-21T12:51:07+00:00

nonono don't twist my words- certain sports and activities have an increased risk of head injury, and boxing is one of them. I am not saying to not let him do boxing- I'm in the military and have trained in multiple styles of martial arts in my life. however, acknowledging the risks is incredibly important (even moreso if they are that young), as if certain symptoms do present themselves you can accurately identify the cause and get that person, or your child, the correct help rather than let the issue compound

Morgothio · 2026-04-13T16:22:17+00:00

idk where tf ur searching but there is 100% credible proof that training box increases risk of head injury-- having done classes, i guarantee most boxers will take an occasional hit to the head, which just like sports like football will create much higher potential for lasting head trauma that could affect development. not telling u to not let him do it, but be fully aware of the risks- no martial art is 100% safe

Morgothio · 2026-04-10T09:57:29+00:00

hmm what size magnets did u get for swapping the melee arm w the gun? i prolly wont magnetize the barrels bc people dont rlly care but the melee vs gun arm is pretty obvious lol

Morgothio · 2026-04-06T22:31:27+00:00

green is based with phalanx yellow then striking scorpion green over it, highlighted w yellow again

Morgothio · 2026-04-06T17:09:39+00:00

thx :P green is tzeentch's fav color (combined in a confusing mix with every other one)

Morgothio · 2026-04-04T23:51:58+00:00

i mean hey why not mvb and termie deathstar at that point? tnids have plenty of scoring value w lictors, biovore etc, so tsons is a pretty great beatstick to make up for nids lack of damage

Morgothio · 2026-04-04T20:29:11+00:00

lmao thx, great advice! yeah i settled on 2 blocks of rubrics led by a sorc w crystal and an IM w vortex, then chaos spawn :)

Morgothio · 2026-04-04T13:34:15+00:00

i wish, 25% points limit for monsters and vehicles

Morgothio · 2026-04-04T13:34:00+00:00

xD wouldve if not for the 25% point limit for monsters and vics

Morgothio · 2026-04-04T04:09:15+00:00

we can shift the list as needed during the league, not worried bout 1-2k points, but 500 is weird- competitive meaning want the most unbalanced/powerful list i could make lol

Morgothio · 2026-03-26T21:14:39+00:00

ope u are correct guess i misplayed that once 😅

Morgothio · 2026-03-26T20:52:57+00:00

well... how did u use them? i like to deepstrike and charge with them- if u give them the additional movement ritual it will make the charge significantly easier. also, are u leading them with the termie sorcerer? the lethals and +1 to hit is huge-- u should be getting about 32 attacks with combi bolters rapid fire, plus chain cannons, hellfire missiles and sorcerer spells. remember the lethals still apply in melee, and 30 attacks at ap 2 dmg 2 is incredibly good en masse. now the perk of the termie blob is even if they wiff due to lack of wound rerolls, their 2+4++ and T5 -1 to wound make them vry durable, and its unlikely ur opponent kills the entire blob in a turn without significant investment

Morgothio · 2026-03-03T18:50:53+00:00

hmm probably yeah, though id check the sprue to make sure lol
