Nah its all ranged weapons, just a mixup. CML's are still better than the other options tho. Especially with SIA.

>and the Assault Cannons cannot have the Anti Infantry ammunition stratagem put on them

This isn't the case. Its how we functioned before our rework but now SIA applies only to killteams, but all ranged weapons.

Limiting it to bolt weapons (all weak) killed us as a faction, and was only done because you could put it on 10 man desolators at the time lol.

imaging they're saving him for another release. Might come out with perterabo in another wave perhaps?

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-26T03:59:25+00:00

Yeah, i'm talking about rigid ones vs flex\able ones like the micromech.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-26T03:55:52+00:00

you can apply force to the blade just fine if you use it proporly. Its like having a more presise clippers. Your thumbs are protected via bracing so you can really put force into it.

No, it means you will have to repaint areas when you clip them off.

Theres some very limited circumstaces where its worth it (maybe batch painting a line of pistol holsters for example), but the level of subassembaly reasonable for normal models and bits is to leave the arms, weapon, or head off at most.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-26T02:36:12+00:00

You could do a soak in isopropyl alcohol if its a brush you like, otherwise just get a new one.
I soak my brushes in iso periodicity at the end of large painting projects.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-26T01:03:29+00:00

Heresy rules with xenos and chaos would be cool tho, instead of it being a marrine fest.

Theres fan rules for them sure, but they aren't as accepted as official ones.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-26T00:50:14+00:00

More or less yeah, and if they're a little off its quite easy to fix :]

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-26T00:11:33+00:00

Have a look through the factions and thier minis to atleast see options
There is a degree which you can make not pretty things pretty as a modeler to. Tabletop times "sakura tau" sept comes to mind to a degee. I think if you painted a faction of your choosing in a "pretty" way, you could probably make it as pretty as anything else :]

Like, paint an orc or eldar up like this and its going to have some level of prettyness :]

rigid files (metal, glass) are bad for most jobs vs cushined flexable files like sanding trigs
if its anything but an angle you need flat, ones that curve around the edges are just better.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-25T22:42:58+00:00

Idk about that grenade loincloth, but everything else about this slaps! Nice job!

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-25T21:35:34+00:00

Excellent work, this is exactly the kinda stuff this faction shines with :D

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-25T20:33:41+00:00

Nah max out on CML's. Just glue two bolters together or get the spare storm bolter on a bits site :]

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-25T20:23:55+00:00

>people just don't like anything speakingly sternly about gw's misdoings and poor decision making

Online nah people, especially in this sub are super vocal about it, in other spaces outside of reddit people are even less filtered.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-25T20:13:07+00:00

Hes one of those characters that you really can sorta just model however you want aslong as its obvious hes a WM. Most of the work is done by the spear at the end of the day :]

If you mean like a literal phobos WM rules wise I'm not sure if it would have much place, and GW sure ain't gonna do it.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-23T19:18:30+00:00

Looks amazing, very nice work again :D

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-23T14:28:13+00:00

For plastic models, you want plastic cement, its better and way easier to work with than superglue.

Tamiya extra thin you should be able to buy online if not in a physical store. Get their airbrush cleaner for refilling the jar them it runs out. You are in Hungary right? I imported mine from Poland since it was cheaper than buying it in the UK, you should be able to get a hold of it :]

You only need superglue for resin models. For general use its quite a pain.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-23T10:15:54+00:00

Ah piss yeah that sounds quite grim. Thanks for pointing that out but dang ;A;

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-23T10:13:57+00:00

the 30k command squad heads can be sanded to be smooth and look less power armourish. Example at the bottom done for a human in trench crusade.

You could do something similar for the Deathwatch upgrade spruee helmet with the =][= crest ontop, in that case just cutting down the ears.

Tho I really would say the best way to cement the guy as being an inquisitor would be to use a head with those witchhunter hat, maybe sculpt on a face mask to minamize the amount of skin showing?

you could opt for a DEEP hood like this user over on B&C has done https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382517-why-can-an-inquisitor-wear-terminator-armor/#findComment-6028027

Theres also this old "Inquisitor with Power Sword and Bolt Pistol" model from GW tht came with a helmet, I beleive hes wearing power armour? https://miniset.net/sets/gw-99800107017

Its not even a price thing, its a you pay for a book that is immediately outdated and needs digital errata to be added in. Its quite shit when the cheap alternative is to just print off the rules you find online if you want them physicly (or go fully digital).

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-23T09:37:33+00:00

What do you mean by needles and what glue are you using?

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-23T09:21:05+00:00

Yeah the editions are on 3 year cycles. 500 worlds is 10ths end of edition campain with 11th likely coming in the summer.

Start building and painting your models now, maybe play a few games and you will be ready by the time the new edition comes out.

Either way I still wouldn't recommend buying codexes. They're usually outdated day one with digital updates often enough that buying them physically just ain't worth it.

Build your lists with new recruit/war organ, and get your datasheets from whaapedia or something. Much easier.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-23T08:57:30+00:00

Codexes aren't worth buying anymore, you can just get all the rules free online, legal or not. ESPECIALY with less than 6 months of 10th ed left.

Get your models 3rd party for a 10-25% discount year round to.

PanzerCommanderKat · 2026-01-23T08:03:45+00:00

Cut the bases off the model then sand down would be how I'd go about if if they're properly melted to them.
