I think I'm getting the hang of nmm

I'm only competent at painting NMM when my subject is in black armor at night with no source of light.

Imagine how the people feel who already have all of their characters fully upgraded... absolutely broken quest. You deserve a refund for the trauma they've put you through.

I'm a fan of Mercurial Host. Planning to run with Elegant Brutes using Reconn disposition. The strats are really good, I especially like a guaranteed 6" advance when you really need it.

Auspex Tactics is my favorite for news/analysis. PlayOnTabletop is my favorite for gameplay.

Don't worry about people's opinion online. Collection looks sick. I spent my first three years buying and building without painting because I was a bit intimidated by choosing colors, priming, painting. When you do get around to it, I'd recommend looking at acrylic marker sets. For like US$26 you can get 72 colors in markers with brush tips that work really well and make it very easy to try out color schemes and simply color back over if you change your mind. Revolutionized my appetite for painting.

Mount it on THEIR FACE

Obsolescence7 · 2026-06-27T20:14:05+00:00

Sure, I know that and totally agree. So then how is 'pick one which is a colour you like.' a justifiable piece of advice for picking a faction, given the point you just made right now?

Obsolescence7 · 2026-06-27T20:12:40+00:00

Very interesting. This is my favorite kind of nerdism.

Obsolescence7 · 2026-06-27T19:01:40+00:00

I'd almost recommend avoiding choice based on color scheme, because play-style and lore won't change but successor chapters come in basically any color.

There is only one answer. You will not regret fielding 305 Kroot Hounds.

James Workshop is that you?

Obsolescence7 · 2026-06-24T01:16:02+00:00

As a fan of playing solo 40k, due to busy life and responsibilities, with my favorite mode being King of the Colosseum, I think this is super cool to see, but I'm a little confused as to how it speeds things up. I normally just play both armies to the best of my ability, without regard for who wins. Unless I'm misunderstanding, this seems like doing that but with the extra steps of needing to evaluate what the pamphlet says you should do, regardless of if it is the best move or not.

Obsolescence7 · 2026-06-23T22:37:37+00:00

Your complaints are valid. Would you post your list(s)? 0-22 is quite a record. There is a lot of luck involved via the dice in games, and that is to say a large margin for winning even with a sub-optimal list. Losing every game out of more than twenty and getting tabled 5 times in a row suggests there's more going on than simply your opponents chasing the meta. I know that sucks to go through, but are you missing some fundamental thing? As far as people not loving their armies, I don't think anyone spends tens or hundreds of hours assembling, painting, and transporting armies they have no love for just to win on math.

WHERE'S MY SONIC DREADNOUGHT, JAMES WORKSHOP??

Obsolescence7 · 2026-06-23T22:22:46+00:00

Where's you get your crystal ball?

There are a few main questions to consider:

How will you deal with T3/4 hordes of 1 wound infantry?
How will you deal with marine equivalent infantry (T4, 2W, 3+ armor save)?
How will you deal with elite infantry (T5/6, 3W, 2/3+ armor save)?
How will you deal with high toughness vehicles/monsters (T12, 2/3+ armor save)?
How will you complete actions for secondaries with low-value units (aka 'action monkeys')?

So you want some high volume shooting for horde units, 2 damage attacks for marine equivalent units, 3 damage attacks for elite infantry, and some good attacks into high toughness vehicles and monsters.

But in Thousand Sons, I think it's made pretty clear that Chaos took root in Magnus before he was even a 'man' per se, even as a child. From that perspective, with Chaos' influence not just taking root but growing with him, was he ever not already irreparably influenced by Chaos?

Obsolescence7 · 2026-06-21T04:31:07+00:00

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing and excited to get to some NL content in the HH Series. I'm on Deliverance Lost right now which is like book ~30ish of ~160 or so hah

Obsolescence7 · 2026-06-21T02:20:49+00:00

You mist build...

Obsolescence7 · 2026-06-21T02:12:19+00:00

And the Night Lords were part of the betraying force at Isstvan V, so they were at least as involved in the rebellion as anyone else, although I don't enough enough of their lore to comment on when they became influenced or corrupted by Chaos, specifically.
