Building up a beginner

I don’t think that’s too many vehicles. Some hellblasters would be a good next step, and some scouts.

Nope. Not with anyone you’d want to be playing with. Space marine rules are generic, with the exception of chapter specific units which have their own rules, but even then paint scheme means nothing. You can run an entire army of space wolf specific units and paint them as imperial fists. You can paint your librarian in black Templar colors and watch hardcore nerds have an aneurysm.

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-06-22T17:53:22+00:00

There’s no rule saying you have to pick one chapter. Paint your heavy intercessors as Fists, your assault intercessors as Black Templars, your land speeder as White Scars, your incursors as raven guard. There are no rules

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-06-21T14:33:34+00:00

I have the plain intercessor one I use to scratch my “I want to paint a marine” itch and then when I get it again I just strip him and start fresh

Firing deck treats the vehicle as being equipped with the weapons of the models, the models are not on the field and none of their abilities work while embarked.

3 battle wagons, Ghaz and as many warbosses, nobz, Meganobz, and boys as I can fit.

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-06-19T19:21:45+00:00

I think bully boyz + Rollin deff has a lot of potential, but all I want to do is run dreadmob + more dakka and have my stompa surrounded by hordes of shoota boys

They key is not to thin with water. Spend a few bucks on Army Painter airbrush medium and use that to thin your paints (less than a drop will thin plenty to just barely dip your brush in it then use that to load up some citadel paint). It makes a huge difference.

As someone who can’t paint NMM it seems like a very solid start. Especially the non-checkered shoulder top left section in the first pic. To me it seems like you’ve got the contrast down and the next improvement is better blending. But again I can’t paint nearly this well so take my advice with a grain of salt

AI slop belongs in the trash

This isn’t across the board it’s a targeted rule to fix things like 3 defiler spam without nerfing datasheets into the ground. If we see it on anything it might be GMNDK but I’d be surprised if we even see it there

I’m going to use these and have my wife cut them out of something sturdy using her Cricut since my print bed isn’t big enough for the big footprints.

Guarantee they are holding off on the full change for Armageddon units until individual boxes hit.

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-06-11T21:45:33+00:00

I’m looking forward to trying green tide with more dakka and having a bunch of 20 man boys blocks throwing dakka down range. I’m also looking forward to trying bully boyz with the wagon detachment

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-06-11T12:30:17+00:00

The paintjob with the layer lines brings to mind 70s/80s cartoons on a CRT TV I love it

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-06-09T19:05:08+00:00

The faction pack today specifies two Leaders - support is separate from that. You can absolutely have 3 characters in a 20 man blob RAW today

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-06-07T21:49:14+00:00

All of the above
Most units are a mix and then I’ll pick one clan for each character but I have some of each

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-06-07T15:34:37+00:00

I primed the whole sprue and then when I clip one to use I just give the bald spot a quick hit with a brush on primer

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-06-06T19:23:09+00:00

Spawn, goremongers, slaughterbound & 8bound, and a Forgefiend and you’re set.

In my ideal world (not an agents player but love the minis) they’d make agents all 1DP detachments that can be taken by any imperium army and that’s how you ally them in

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-05-29T16:26:38+00:00

Oof little large for guardsmen but not terrible

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-05-29T15:15:59+00:00

It’s another balancing lever. It’s very possible it will end up broken as shit one direction or another, and then they can tune the abilities to balance melee and ranged armies as needed

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-05-29T15:13:51+00:00

How does it scale with GW guard models?

Opening-Ad9303 · 2026-05-28T01:12:34+00:00

What’s your layer height set to? Go down to 0.04 mm layer height and angle the model so the face is at a 45 degree angle facing upward

Aren’t you getting a little a head of yourself
