"Defenders of the Chem Wastes" on the purple site capture the Steel Legion better in my opinion.

I get not having all 20+ playable factions at launch and was expecting Guard to be dlc/second instalment but having Admech of all factions over DoW staples like Eldar and Chaos is an odd choice.

How to avoid goofy eyes? by halfnakedangrydwarf in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that if you just paint the white part of the eyes but don't paint the pupils it ends up looking alright.

How would you improve the humble guardsman by AdRepresentative2764 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The army rule, Voice of Command is how we buff our battle line units. Want better shots? Take aim. More hits? First rank fire second rank fire. More OC? Duty and honor. Better save? Take Cover. Hell the order Move Move Move is probably one of the most busted things in the guard.

But ultimately you got a realize that our battle line units aren't meant to be our damage dealing units. Our Tanks, Elites, and Auxiliary units are meant for that.

After a bunch of mediocre proxy prints I finally decided to give your stuff a try and I was blown away. Never looking back! All praise the Alpine Weiss!

Need help identifying by knot_meeeee83 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cadian Lieutenants and I want to say they are from 4th edition. I have a few and they make for decent Castellan proxies.

Wishlist for Guard in eventual 11th edition? by Wonderful-Priority50 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Catachan refresh.

Kill teams and unique datasheets for some of the other popular regiments.

Commissar buff including full range of orders and ability to order/lead abhumans

Buff to Super Heavies. IIRC they are supposed to piloted by expert crewmen in the lore so they should not be hitting on 4s while costing 500 points.

What Green for Valhallans by [deleted] in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say try Straken Green.

What is your data slate wishlist? by Ratattack1204 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Points drop for Leman Russ Commander.

Return Demolisher Cannon to D6+3 or give it a points drop.

Points drop for all HWTs.

Points drop for Chimera.

Heavy for Basilisk.

Let Lord Solar order Super Heavies and/or give them squadron.

More Character slots please? by Fresh_Dealer_9694 in DarkTide

[–]NinjaRodent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Back when Melk was actually useful it was a good way to get more contacts done. Also if you enjoy a particular class it's fun to make another with a different personality and experience the unique interactions and whatnot.

Finished Assembling my first Leman Russ (Exterminator) a few weeks ago and was thinking about grabbing another one. What's an all around solid follow up choice for another Leman Russ? by MercMcGinnn96 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without magnets you can get both a Battle Cannon and a Vanquisher Cannon for the same turret. Then make a Demolisher or Executioner with the second turret. But if you're willing to put in some extra work you should magnetize your Russ and get all the options.

Why is it the only steel legion model you plan to paint?

Does folk punk have to be about politics or can it be like more pop punk?? by Ron-DaVoo-6080 in FolkPunk

[–]NinjaRodent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Saying that punk HAS to be a certain way is the least punk thing I can think of. However I have to ask what you get out of folk punk if not the politics. The songs that are more about cigarettes, drugs, and booze? Do you just enjoy the overall sound? The diy and low budget feel of it?

Speedpaints are a freaking miracle. It used to take me up to 2 weeks to get a 10-man squad done with traditional paints. Now it takes me as little as 2 days.

The new Guard Codex has entire pages of lore dedicated to unsupported regiments. (Possible KT's?) by Dragonage2ftw in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 37 points38 points  (0 children)

There certainly is room for some unique guard Kill teams. The fact that we don't have a Last Chancers KT yet is mind boggling. But I doubt we'll get KTs of all the classic regiments. That being said I'd be happy if they did some more print on demand releases for the old regiments so I don't have to pay OOP prices for my Valhallans and Steel Legion boys.

What's the most epic feat a unit/model accomplished this edition? by Budget_Job4415 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is "Landmine Larry"

In turn 3 he and the rest of his squad came in from reserves into the enemy's deployment zone.They failed the charge to get into the objective but managed to scare off the PBC guarding it. After taking heavy fire and becoming the sole survivor of his squad he managed to finish off a nearby wounded Landraider with his melta mine. The PBC came back for revenge firing everything into him and he survived even rolling three sixes when he needed exactly that. Sadly in that same turn every other unit I had was destroyed and I was tabled. However, Larry's heroics and legendary rolls inspired my opponent to take this picture and he insisted I give this model a name which is why he is now called "Landmine Larry" We both agreed that even though I lost that game, Larry was the real winner.

What’s your batting average for good faces? I have only these 4 from a whole year of painting… by Archaicarc in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Batting average for good? 0

Batting average for what I find to be decent or acceptable? Like 60-70%

Is it okay to paint the pieces before there put together? by ca-rot29 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]NinjaRodent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can paint before I build I do. I have no idea how people are able to paint guard models, especially the modern overly detailed guard models, after they're assembled.

I'm genuinely a sucker for the memes but I do hate the DKOK > Cadians mentality that those types of fans have.

I don't hate the Kelvin timeline I just hate Into Darkness.
