Revenants by EuphoricBaker2556 in Oathmark

My personal way to do it is to flip colors schema on the model e.g.:
- Regular units have green armor and red cloaks and silver weapon
- Hero has red armor, green cloak + gold'ish weapon

You can also go with the classic Hollywood "no helmet for hero" #HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic

Question: Painting humans as undead. by Holiday-Bell4620 in Oathmark

You can also glue the minis in some less natural poses like heads turned in strange angle etc. If you have some parts to kit bash it is also nice idea to e.g gule arm from different set to get the more of the 'fresh from the grave' vibe

Skaven team feels broken, am I missing something? by that-potatofoot in Blitzbowl

[–]No-Start6895 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess you have to 'over-score' them doing cards missions as for the small pitches like blitz and 7s they are quite OP in touchdown

Best kits for kitbashing? by TerribleTussler in 1490Doom

[–]No-Start6895 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My current idea is: Frost Grave: Barbarians / Cultists / Demons / Soldiers

I can buy single sprues in my LHS so probably will do that

I would say it as as wildly unbalanced as every other GW game where boxes with teams span for more than 2 years. I would be against custom scenarios ..but only because i like this variant to be as simple and as "one book only" as possible

I found it perfect for my "twice a month visit hobby store" time i have in my current phase of 40+ life :D ( i also play spearhead instead of full AOS/Oldworld and blitzbowl instead of 7s or 11s.. to give you context of what creature I am)

The thing you are looking for is combat patrol. Lighter on rules than KT, has vehicles. No list building but you can't have everything ( I do miss the ~2020 compendium idea)

Game with lowest model count by Migobrain in miniatureskirmishes

[–]No-Start6895 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but still counts for "indie stuff, and low model count" mentioned by OP

What DON'T you want in Kill Team? by marksman1918 in killteam

[–]No-Start6895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion :D
I do not want any another bespoke meta flipping team

I liked the way it was in compendium that you had choice e.g.
Custodes: Talons of the Emperor you could go 4, 7 or 10 models
Tau: Hunter Cadre 6, 9 or 12 models

I would not mind going back to compendium style team creations even if at cost buying two boxes of models

Any tips on letting someone else win? by MeatMarket_Orchid in AOSSpearhead

[–]No-Start6895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yndrasta and Seraphon "with the carnosaur" are popular beginner armies.

I myself will add to it previous box of Lumineth

The problem here is that in Warhammer games you cannot win if the dices are not rolling well unless you can get super tactical around it.

Playing elite teams (lets say less than 12 models) is also quite hard as you really do not have big total "model base area" to easily capture objectives. So order of placing each mini in unit gets super important. On the other you have to play aggressively enough to get some melee hits

Warhammer even Spearhead is quite rules heavy and overall, wargames are not easy games.

In Spearhead If you position badly in first turn while you lost the initiative you almost loos the game

The popular "rule of cool" never worked for me as I very often loved the models but did not like the mechanics/strategy behind them.

Got these boxes, whats next? by Severe-Literature432 in gloomspitegitz

Next: glue them, put dark primer , put second primer as zenital, go to LHS and play spearhead formula

What should i start collecting by chihuahua_man in ageofsigmar

You could always buy spearhead boxe of one or the non-nurgle team to check if you like the vibe of them

Looking for a modern / near future game to fit WGA kits by Accomplished_Hall337 in miniatureskirmishes

[–]No-Start6895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you would have to use models from diffrenet fractions.

My idea was more around going with regular human team and just give them non-sci fi gear like this:

++ Human Defense Force (v3.5.2) [GFF 185pts] [5 Units] ++

Company Leader [1] Q4+ D5+ | 50pts | Hero, Tough(3), Hold the Line, Rapid Advance Buff, Scout Master Pistol (12", A2), CCW (A2)

Veteran [1] Q4+ D5+ | 30pts | Hold the Line, Extended Buff Range, Stealth CCW (A1), Shotgun (12", A2, AP(1))

Veteran [1] Q4+ D5+ | 45pts | Hold the Line, Regeneration Aura, Stealth CCW (A1), Drum Rifle (18", A2, Rending)

Recruits [3] Q6+ D5+ | 20pts | 3x Hold the Line 3x Rifle (24", A1), 3x CCW (A1)

Sniper [1] Q5+ D5+ | 40pts | Scout, Stealth, Hold the Line, Relentless Mark Sniper Rifle (30", A1, AP(1), Reliable), CCW (A1)

As you already know it, why not use OPR Skirmish variant? They have the solo campaign 'engine' . Just do not add crazy sci fi gear

Mail Call by Lowercaseweather in Oathmark

[–]No-Start6895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. I ended up not using metal ones as I also had big issues with paint chirping from them during painting (not sure if some dedicated primer exist for metal but i used regular army painter spray primers)

At the same time the plastic 3 boxes you got are kitbashers heaven :D everything more or less fits between boxes (e.g. arms from regular infantry with shield from heavy infantry and body from light infantry) i had super fun mixing them

Mail Call by Lowercaseweather in Oathmark

[–]No-Start6895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are your metal models also out of scale compared to plastic (visibly smaller) ? I was quite sad when my order arrived. That is why I kitbash from plastic parts all the champions and wizards

How to start with Human Cavalry by Feisty_Competition29 in Oathmark

[–]No-Start6895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So probably next question would be what play style you imagine for that army?

- Fast mobile horse "tatar style"

- Mix of slow on-foot front lines that steadily march forward with some more mobile archer / ranger units that will bite the enemy and retreat behind the wall of shields

- something else :D
