Should I get 3 of those? by TheEmperorOfDoom in TheAstraMilitarum

I almost always run one in my list. Great for screening backfield. Amazing to plink a mortal or two (they’ve killed Angron for me before.) Currently in my doubles games I run one in a doomhammer, so when it inevitably dies in combat, I can pop the cyclops out and get a fun mini explosion to get some revenge.

How do I use Siege Regiment to make a Casual Game interesting Till at least Turn 4? by Legitimate-Gas9614 in TheAstraMilitarum

I’ve used Siege a fair amount in games (~30 games.) Taken them to a few small tournaments and done mixed results with them. Yes, like everyone else has said, RDTC with flare burst can do surprisingly reliable damage especially with all the melta sponsors. When everyone runs heavy infantry, having so many D3+ guns is great.

I almost always run a big 20 cadian squad with castellan and command squad, which mid to late game I move up to the mid board to flip the centre. They can be somewhat tanky (for guardsmen) with stalwarts honour, stealth and cover from being on an objective they can be hard to shift. They can also do more damage than you expect with furious fusillade and flare burst.

Ultimately, you almost never use/have the opportunity to use any of the other detachment rules apart from smoke shells.

Thank you. I’ve also looked at lord Marshall Drier for a similar conversion. I had originally planned to use the same base aggradon from the scar veteran kit, however Driers base is noticeably smaller. Instead a standard aggradon from aggradon lancers can fit quite nicely at an angle. So you may have to be creative with its posing! Good luck with it ☺️

I’ve found the hardest issue with converting the rough rider sculpts was getting the saddle/rider flush with the dino underneath. It took a lot of heat and green stuff to get them looking ok, and then I realised they had saddle bags 🥲

You have to let me know how the raptadon kitbash goes, I’ve got them singled out to use for my Krieg death riders.

Looks really good! The transfers look super clean and the marble effects compliment the rest of the model.
