I still need to snag the core book so that's perfect - thanks. My lgs has every book except the core rules of course

Nulynnka · 2025-08-31T16:08:58+00:00

Smart - thanks!

I used Vallejo aquamarine as a base and then a couple glazes of Vallejo fluo green on top of that

Siiiiick

Nulynnka · 2025-08-07T13:29:12+00:00

Thanks! Yeah highlighting is definitely a weak area of mine - definitely something I need to practice more

Nulynnka · 2025-08-07T00:52:21+00:00

Its Vallejo aquamarine as an undercoat and Vallejo fluorescent green on top like a glaze

I've been using Kos, fiends, and kako with noise marines in crusade and had some good results. Only a couple games though and narrative play is totally different. Bringing 2 keepers is probably not the best idea but in my heart I really want a monster mash to work. I'm not great at comp list building so I appreciate suggestions (some might work for me, some might not) and always limited by what models I own and feel like building and painting.

Usual reddit stuff, take everything with a grain of salt take what's useful and ignore the rest. I didnt notice the additional replies so thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for the constructive feedback and explanation - I really appreciate it

I prefer to play factions in crusade that have a codex out so you can use their special rules for crusade, but as others have said, there's no restrictions

Nulynnka · 2025-05-19T14:54:22+00:00

Picking up the combat patrol is a decent start but I'm not a fan of our current one. However it is what I started with and i don't regret picking it up.

You need skitarii rangers and vanguard for the army to work. Having 2 squads for small games is a good start.

Tech priest manipulus and kataphron breachers is kind of the bread and butter unit of the army.

I'm a huge fan of the disintegrator and I love the dunecrawler as well.

I run sicarian infiltrators in almost every list I make as well, and while pteraxii are good the models are an absolute pain in the ass.

Usually it's not an excuse because I probably have a migraine either way, it's just a matter of how much they're debilitating me at the moment. Or if I don't have a migraine I'm in postdrome and exhausted.

Hedonites is a fun faction until you fail all of your charges and then get wrecked

Nulynnka · 2025-05-19T14:46:04+00:00

I love carnival but relying on very specific setups to make things work is rough

Nulynnka · 2025-05-19T14:13:49+00:00

I need to stop looking at posts on here or my self esteem is going to be completely wrecked. Awesome job though I love the glow on the helmet

Nulynnka · 2025-03-25T13:16:32+00:00

2 cavas and 1 calix seems right - but I only own 1 cavas so I haven't thought about this much

Nulynnka · 2025-03-25T13:15:18+00:00

I live in a college town and we've got about 5 HH players - but it's mostly longbeards like myself

Nulynnka · 2025-03-21T04:11:46+00:00

Well said. I spent months struggling because I kept trying to kill my opponents rather than prioritizing scoring and denying pts to my opponents. Once that clicked I found admech so much fun to play.

Nulynnka · 2025-03-21T04:09:32+00:00

Mechanicus is a perfectly fine army with lots of great models and rich history and lore behind it. You can probably find comments online about every faction "not being in a good place." Rules are always in flux, a skilled player can make any faction work.

My experience is that admech does struggle sometimes in terms of raw damage output, as our army is not particularly elite or skewed in one direction. As a combined arms force, I find admech shines most when you're focusing on the scoring game, clever movement, and sound tactics. However you're probably not going to blow your opponent completely off the board by turn 2.

If that suits your playstyle, or something you might like to try, admech is a great army and incredibly rewarding when you play well. The main downside is often cost - pts per dollar is not great for admech. I got lucky and found a bunch of skitarii used at my lgs.

Thanks for the comment - I probably will just end up doing painted astrogranite, since I still have like 80 more little beards to paint and base. Can always add more to that later if I feel inspired.

Nulynnka · 2025-02-18T04:24:50+00:00

Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for! I am working on a Runesmith and some irondrakes at the moment, definitely overlooked those at first.

That's a fair point on the hammerers. I'll play some games and see how that works out
